Chapter 394 Is My Name Wu Cheng?

The young man listened carefully and waited for the commander to finish speaking before he nodded, "Okay!"

"Go!"

The young man walked down the city wall and arrived at Yanghe County in front of everyone. Walking on the streets of Yanghe County, he felt inexplicably in a trance.

He actually didn't quite understand why he came here. He just followed his instinct and kept walking in this direction. He walked all the way from an extremely remote place to this place called Yanghe County.

Now that we entered the city, that mysterious feeling became more and more obvious. The young man stood on the street, a little confused for a moment. He had obviously never been here before, but he felt inexplicably familiar.

This familiar yet unfamiliar feeling made him a little overwhelmed!

Soon a night watchman from the Inspection Department came here. When he saw the young man still on the street, he immediately became tense again.

"Why don't you obey the curfew?"

The young man came to his senses and asked, "Curfew?"

"Huh? Are you not a native of Yanghe County?"

The young man shook his head, "I just entered the city!"

The commander of the inspection department winked at one of his subordinates, and soon one of them headed straight for the city. After a while, he left and came back, whispering a few words to the commander of the inspection department.

The commander of the inspection department nodded, looked at the young man and his expression finally softened a bit, and put the sword into its sheath. Others followed suit and sheathed their swords one after another!

"There is a curfew in the city. Which mountainous area are you from, and you don't even know this?" The commander's tone was pretending to be harsh.

"How do you know I come from the mountains?" The young man was a little curious. This man could actually tell where he came from?

The commander's tone paused, and his expression softened, "That's all, you have to abide by the curfew. If you don't know, that's it this time. Quickly find a place to stay. If you really can't find it or don't have money, go to the Chengdong Shantang. You can stay there temporarily!”

At this point, the commander paused and asked, "Do you have any money on you?"

"What money?"

The commander of the inspection department sighed, took out his money bag from his waist, took out a small sling of money, and threw it to the young man, "Take it!"

The young man took it, looked at it carefully, and then said thank you, "Thank you!"

"Okay, let's go quickly. Don't linger on the street. Be careful!" The commander of the inspection department waved his hand, turned around and left with a group of night watchmen.

The young man looked at the small sling of money in his hand, and then at the commander's back. He was stunned for a long time, and then continued walking.

He moved forward completely based on instinct, without any purpose, and he was not looking for any place to stay. As for the so-called Shantang in the east of the city, he didn't know much about it, and he didn't really want to go.

After walking for about half a quarter of an hour, he stopped on a street. He looked at the street and was lost in thought again. The feeling came again, and it was stronger than ever before, but no matter how he thought about it, there was nothing. Think about it.

At this moment, someone suddenly pushed open the door of a house facing the street and poured out a basin of dirty water, right at the feet of the stunned young man. The old man who opened the door and poured water was also stunned. He didn't expect that there would be someone outside the door at this time, and he was standing there silently. He couldn't help but be shocked.

"Who?"

The young man looked back.

The old man was quite courageous. He picked up the lantern placed at the door and looked towards the young man. More lights shone over and reflected the young man's face.

Then the old man suddenly screamed strangely, "Oh, ghost!"

After that, the old man threw down the lantern and suddenly got into the house and closed the door hard.

Others in the house were also alarmed at this time.

"Old man, what the hell, what's wrong with you? Why are you so crazy? It's so scary at night!"

"Dad, what's going on? There's a monster. If it's a monster, you should call for help immediately!"

The old man who opened the door just now had a pale face at this time. Hearing the discussions and inquiries from his family, he didn't know what to say for a while.

Until the family members noticed that something was obviously wrong with the old man's condition, "Old man, what's wrong with you? What scared you like this?"

"There's... there's a ghost! I saw a ghost!"

"What kind of ghost? What kind of ghost?" Everyone was shocked. Monsters are no joke. Even if they just see them, they must inform the night watchman in time.

"It's not a monster, it's a ghost! It's the ghost that person turned into after he died!" The old man was a little angry.

Everyone fell into silence. After a while, the old man's son said: "If the dead are transformed, isn't that still a monster?"

The old man was stunned, "Really?"

"That's right! That's what it says in the official documents!"

"By the way, old man, who did you see? Which one turned into a monster? Ordinarily, it shouldn't be possible. Nowadays, after people die, they are sent to the crematorium and the corpse is burned to ashes. Generally, they will not turn into monsters. That's right!" My wife asked.

"Wu Cheng!"

"Wu Cheng? Which one? Why don't I remember it?" the old man's son said.

The old woman beside her, on the other hand, also had a pale face at this time, "Of course you have no impression, because you were not born yet at that time!"

"ah?"

"Old man, are you sure you read it correctly? Didn't Wu Cheng disappear decades ago? The last single seedling of the old Wu family died, and Uncle Wu had no thoughts and did not live past the second year."

"How could I be wrong? Wu Cheng and I grew up together, and his family was across the street at that time... Even after so many years, I haven't forgotten it!"

"Where is he now?" The old woman's voice trembled. It is said that after death, people turn into ghosts and like to come back to look for their relatives. If their relatives are gone, they like to look for acquaintances. Isn't the old man the best candidate now?

"Just... just outside the door!"

Just at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. In the dark night, the knock was so clear that the old woman fainted in shock.

The old man also slumped on the ground. He shouldn't have used the lantern just now. It is said that after death, people like to use the light to lead the way. I led him here myself!

The old man's son was also covered in cold sweat. Just when he was about to ask his father what to do, a voice came from outside the door.

"Is there anyone? Your lantern fell outside! And don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person!"

"How are you not a bad person? You are not a human being!" The old man's voice was crying.

"Ah? Do you know me?" The young man finally felt something was wrong.

"Of course I know you, you are Wu Cheng, you died a long time ago, but you can't come to harm me!"

"Wu Cheng?" The young man outside the door was holding a lantern in his hand, stunned in place, "My name is Wu Cheng?"

"Go away! I have no grudges against you, don't harm me, and if you don't leave, the night watchman will come, you can't run away!" The old man summoned his courage and shouted loudly.
