Chapter 13 The First Task (Update 1)
Gu You bowed and replied: "Yes! Those beggar leaders all said they had never seen him before, and what he was thinking was beyond the capabilities of beggars. What I thought of, it is really difficult to find out his past..."
Chen Zhong thought of the dreams of these nights, but finally did not make an immediate decision, but said:
"It won't be too late to kill after we find out what happened in the mountain tomorrow! Go and tell the Anping County magistrate that I will inform the officials about this troop deployment and ask him to keep his subordinates' mouths in check. This matter should not be made public. , I will ask for credit for him after the work is done."
After that, Chen Zhong waved his hand and said: "Go on, finish the work and rest early, you will have to work hard tomorrow."
Gu You didn't dare to persuade him anymore, he pursed his lips and retreated.
......
At midnight, the big head in the woodshed snored rhythmically and harshly, sleeping soundly.
Wu Chen was suffocated and woke up, thinking that he drank an extra bowl of soup at night. While complaining that he was greedy, he found the bucket in the corner of the woodshed and wanted to put some water in it.
Although there is a bright moon tonight, it is dark in the woodshed and nothing can be seen clearly. All I can hear is the rustling of leaves in the wind outside.
Wu Chen groped his way to stand in front of Gong Tong, and suddenly felt a strange wind blowing by. He said it was strange because the wind was cold in some areas. Wu Chen shivered, and he clicked his tongue. Suddenly, his eyes were dark. It was almost a piece, and suddenly it became dim and dark, looming, as if there was something, neither fog nor smoke, shadowy and shadowy, coupled with a small breeze blowing, the gloomy feeling suddenly appeared.
Wu Chen was someone who had seen a big scene last night, but in this atmosphere, the experience last night not only failed to give him some courage, but made him even more frightened, and he was still unconscious in his mind. Several pieces of background music appeared that fit him perfectly. He chose the scariest one on his own and kept it echoing in his mind over and over again...< br>
Wu Chen’s hair stood on end. He forgot about the need to relieve himself. He opened his eyes wide and took a closer look. He didn’t know when there was a person floating against the wall...
Wu Chen determined, confirmed and affirmed that the person was floating. Looking at the overall situation, he saw that the person's feet were off the ground.
Wu Chen only felt that his heart was blocked in his throat. If his throat wasn't so small, it would definitely have jumped out. Fortunately, his heart was blocked in his throat, giving him no chance to shout.
Wu Chen stiffened and wanted to go back, but his feet couldn't move at all.
Wu Chen instantly thought of the task assigned to him by Lao Hei, and his fear suddenly turned into courage. His eyes widened, his gaze shifted to the side, and he asked softly: "Who is this? "
"Can you see me?" The man flashed directly in front of Wu Chen, almost face to face with Wu Chen.
Wu Chen couldn't bear it anymore, and couldn't bear it. The blue-grey face in front of him still had some rotten flesh hanging on it. Wu Chen closed his eyes decisively. He wanted to turn around and run away. , but it can only rotate the upper body.
"You stay away from me first." Wu Chen closed his eyes, his voice trembling.
"Don't be afraid..."
Ten thousand horses are galloping in Wu Chen's heart! Is this human language?
"You stay here for a while, I'll take it easy."
Wu Chen felt that the cold air was far away, so he slowly opened his eyes, and then sighed, sighing secretly in his heart This task given by Lao Hei was not done by humans!
“Don’t sigh. I just saw you enter the mountain col last night and come out alive, so I thought maybe you had some skills. But I couldn’t follow you last night. I saw you going up the mountain again today, so I followed you. Come on.”
Wu Chen took a deep breath, refreshed himself, and persuaded himself to adopt a serious work attitude. After some self-consistency, Wu Chen asked: "Your body is dead, why don't you want to leave?"
“I’m worried!”
“What do you want me to help you solve?”
“What can you do?”
“Don’t come over. !" Wu Chen felt the cold air was getting closer and shouted quickly.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I just didn't expect you to help me..."
"You didn't come to me for help?" After Wu Chen asked, he remembered that no one knew about his mission, let alone ghosts. .
"Originally I was just curious, no one has ever been able to get out of that mountain col..."
"Do you know why?"
"I have never been in it, so I dare not speak nonsense. I just know there are a lot of evil spirits inside.”
"Can they get out?"
"If they can't get out, I can't get in either. I was also curious to see you today, but I didn't expect you to see me! I was kind to others and never did anything evil during my lifetime. , let me fall into the cliff and die miserably. Why did I die? Will my wife and children be bullied at home? I wish the evil man could see me, but I can’t scare him..."
Wu Chen stood there and listened quietly. The ghost told him what happened before and after his life, and then he understood why he refused to leave.
The ghost is a hunter in the village at the foot of the mountain, named Liu Gen. He married a wife and had children a few years ago. He lived a poor and difficult life, but he also enjoyed it. Two months ago, Liu Gen went up the mountain and fell off a cliff and died. He was supposed to go Reincarnation, but he didn't care about his lovely wife and young son at home. He wanted to go home and take a look before going on the road, but unexpectedly he saw the naughty people in the village teasing his lovely wife and beating their young son, but Liu Gen could only watch... This sight was... For more than two months, the more I look at it, the more I refuse to leave.
After hearing this, Wu Chen said: "I will help you deal with the bad guys and give your wife and children a peaceful life. After that, you can go on your way with peace of mind."
Liu Gen didn't believe it at first. Seeing Wu Chen being locked up in the woodshed, he didn't know whether he could survive, so how could he help him?
But Wu Chen was so true to his word that Liu Gen left doubtfully.
......
Chen Zhong didn't sleep well that night. He either dreamed of purgatory or torture. He woke up several times and went back to sleep, but he still had nightmares. It was just dawn. Chen Zhong Then he got up.
Having had a nightmare all night, Chen Zhong was in a bad mood. After breakfast, he suppressed his anxiety and made arrangements to enter the mountain. When Gu You and the others led the team to leave, Chen Zhong felt refreshed. Unfortunately, he wanted to sleep for a while, but he couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning. He only felt that the nightmare last night was still vivid in his mind, as if it had really happened. He thought that Wu Chen had rescued him in the previous nightmare. Could it be that he had killed himself this time? read?
Chen Zhong couldn't lie down anymore. Most of his injuries were no longer harmful. But when he got down to walk, he let the little eunuch hold him up and walked slowly for a few steps in the room.
After walking only a few steps, I heard someone outside the house shout urgently: "Sir Zun!"
"Say!"
"The mountain col can't be found again. !" The man stood at the door and bowed to report.
Chen Zhong stood still and said after a while: "I know."
The man turned and left in a hurry.
"God's will!" Chen Zhong sighed while standing in the room, and then ordered someone to call Wu Chen.
Chen Zhong felt that Wu Chen should be more submissive after passing through the woodshed that night, which was also a good thing.
Unexpectedly, Wu Chen wandered into the room with his hands behind his back. When he saw Chen Zhong, he didn’t even salute. He sat down on a chair and asked, "When are you going to kill us? Can you kill us first?" Let us eat until we are full before killing him?" The fair fat on Chen Zhong's face shook inadvertently. He looked at Wu Chen expressionlessly, wondering why this young man didn't know how to be afraid?
