Chapter 13 The first mission (one more)
Gu You bowed and replied: "Yes! Those beggar leaders all said that they had never seen him before, and what he was thinking in his mind was beyond the imagination of a beggar. It is really difficult to find out his past..."

Chen Zhong thought of the dreams of the past few nights, but he didn't make a decision right away, but said:
"When the matter in the mountain is found out tomorrow, it will not be too late to kill! You go and tell the magistrate of Anping County that I will explain this time to the officials and let him control the mouths of his subordinates. It is not appropriate to say anything about it. After all, I will take credit for him."

After finishing speaking, Chen Zhong waved his hand and said: "Go on, rest early after finishing the work, you will have to work hard tomorrow."

Gu You didn't dare to persuade him anymore, he pursed his lips and retreated.

……

In the middle of the night, the big head snored rhythmically and piercingly in the firewood room, sleeping soundly.

Wu Chen was woken up, thinking that he drank an extra bowl of soup at night, while complaining about his greedy mouth, he found the Gong bucket in the corner of the firewood room and wanted to fill it with water.

Although there is a bright moon tonight, the woodshed is pitch black, and I can't see anything clearly. I can only hear the rustling of leaves blown by the wind outside the house.

Wu Chen fumbled to stand in front of Gong Tong, and suddenly felt a strange wind blowing. He said it was because the wind was cold in some areas. Wu Chen shivered. All of a sudden, it suddenly became dim and dim, looming, as if there was something, neither fog nor smoke, vague and shadowy, coupled with a small wind blowing, the eerie feeling suddenly emerged.

Wu Chen was someone who had seen big scenes 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 a few songs that fit very well appeared in his mind unconsciously. background music, he chose the scariest one, and it echoed in his mind repeatedly...

Wu Chen's hairs were standing on end, he forgot to urinate, he opened his eyes wide and fixed his eyes, and there was a person floating against the wall at some point...

Wu Chen determined, determined and affirmed that that person was floating. Looking at the overall situation, that person's feet were off the ground.

Wu Chen only felt that his heart was stuck in his throat. If it wasn't for his small throat, he would have jumped out. Fortunately, his heart was blocked in his throat, which prevented him from shouting out.

Wu Chen stiffened his body and wanted to go back, but he couldn't move his feet.

Wu Chen instantly thought of the task that Lao Hei had assigned to him, and his fear immediately turned into courage. His eyes were wide open, his eyes turned aside, and he asked softly, "Where is the sacred?"

"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 he couldn't bear it anymore. There was still some rotten flesh hanging on the blue-gray face in front of him. Wu Chen closed his eyes decisively. He wanted to turn around and run, but he could only turn around. upper body.

"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?

"You stay on your side for a while, I, take it easy."

Wu Chen felt that the cold air was far away, so he slowly opened his eyes, and then sighed, secretly sighing in his heart that this task given by Lao Hei was not done by humans!
"Don't sigh, I just saw you enter the mountain and came out alive last night, so I thought maybe you have some skills, but I couldn't follow you last night, and I saw you go up the mountain again today, so I followed."

Wu Chen took a deep breath, refreshed himself, and persuaded himself to show a serious attitude towards work. After a while, Wu Chen asked, "Your body is dead, why don't you want to leave?"

"Don't worry!"

"What do you want me to help you with?"

"what can you do?"

"Don't come over!" Wu Chen felt the chill approaching again, and hurriedly shouted.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I just didn't expect you to help me..."

"Didn't you come to ask me for help?" Wu Chen only remembered after asking. No one knew about his mission, let alone ghosts.

"It was just a curiosity. No one has ever come out of that mountain..."

"Do you know why?"

"I haven't been in it before, so I dare not speak nonsense, I only know that there are a lot of evil spirits inside."

"Can't they come out?"

"I can't get out, and I can't get in. I was curious to see you today, but I didn't expect you to see me! I was kind to others in my lifetime, and I never did evil things. It's just a miserable death for me to fall into a cliff. Why would my wife and children be bullied after my death?! I wished that the villain could see me, but he couldn't be scared..."

Wu Chen stood there and listened quietly to the ghost's story about his life and death, so he understood why he refused to leave.

The ghost is a hunter in the village at the foot of the mountain. His name is 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. Liu Gen fell off a cliff and died two months ago. He was supposed to go to reincarnation, but he didn't. Don't worry about his beautiful wife and young son at home, he wants to go home and take a look before he goes on the road, but unexpectedly he sees the village rogue molesting his wife and beating his young son, but Liu Gen can only watch... This look lasted for more than two months. See more and refuse to leave.

After hearing this, Wu Chen said, "I will help you punish the villains and restore your wife and children to a peaceful life. After that, you can go on the road with peace of mind."

Liu Gen didn't believe it at first, seeing Wu Chen locked up in the firewood room, he didn't know if he would survive, so how could he help him?
But Wu Chen made a vow, and Liu Gen left with doubts.

……

This night Chen Zhong didn't sleep well, either he dreamed of purgatory or torture, he woke up several times and went back to sleep again, but he still had nightmares again and again, Chen Zhong got up just after dawn.

After having a nightmare all night, Chen Zhong was in a very bad mood. After breakfast, he suppressed his inner anxiety and arranged for going into the mountain. When Gu You and the others led the team to leave, Chen Zhong felt weak and wanted to sleep again. After a while, he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. He only felt that the nightmare last night was vivid in his memory, as if it had really happened. He thought that Wu Chen rescued him in the previous nightmare. Could it be because he had the desire to kill this time?
Chen Zhong couldn't lie down anymore, most of the injuries on his body were fine, but when he walked on the ground, he asked the little eunuch to support him, and walked slowly in the room for a few steps.

After only walking a few steps, someone outside the house shouted urgently: "Si Zun!"

"Say!"

"The col can't be found again!" The man stood at the door and bowed back.

Chen Zhong stood still, and after a while he said, "Got it."

The man turned and left in a hurry.

"God's will!" Chen Zhong stood in the room and sighed, and then ordered someone to call Wu Chen.

Chen Zhong felt that Wu Chen should have obeyed a lot this night after passing through the chaifang, which is also a good thing.

Unexpectedly, Wu Chen staggered into the room with his hands behind his back, didn't salute when he saw Chen Zhong, sat down on the chair carelessly, raised his head and asked, "When will you kill us? Can you let us eat first before we eat?" kill?"

The white fat on Chen Zhong's face trembled inadvertently. He looked at Wu Chen expressionlessly, wondering why this young man didn't know how to be afraid?
