Chapter 10: My Hometown Is Not My Hometown

What a strange debt, it was just a promise. Maybe this promise was a huge amount of ghost money. Otherwise, Liu Ende really couldn’t think of what could make this old man so angry.

Seeing Liu Ende's puzzled expression, the old woman's eyes flashed with disappointment, but soon it was as if the flame of hope was rekindled. She looked at him and asked softly, "Did you really forget?"

"Hey, grandma, please stop kidding me. I really don't remember anything. I'm a newcomer here and I don't know how you know me." Liu Ende was sure that this must be a joke played by the two old people, so he decided to just laugh it off.

Seeing the serious look on the old man's face, Liu Ende couldn't laugh anymore. He really began to doubt what was going on, and he started to think about this complicated question more than once. He was obviously dead, and it was impossible for an ordinary person to survive after being stabbed so many times. Of course, when he woke up, his body was no longer his own. This was a good proof that Liu Ende was really dead, and there was no way he could go back.

Thinking of this, Liu Ende was still unwilling to give up, and asked the old woman: "Can you help me find a mirror?"

After hearing this, the old woman quickly turned around and took out an exquisitely decorated bronze mirror from the cabinet behind her. The moment Liu Ende took the mirror, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, because the person in the mirror was a completely different face. A strange, European face, that pale face without a trace of blood, and overall, it didn't have any of his original characteristics at all.

"Does being a ghost mean starting another life?" Putting down the mirror, Liu Ende murmured with his head down. This script is just like "Your Name". When you are asleep, you are yourself, and when you wake up, you will be another person. The only difference is that in the anime, men and women in the same country fall in love, but for him, they are completely separated by yin and yang and both are men, so he can't be gay. Liu Ende swears here that he really has no unique taste in this regard.

Perhaps seeing Liu Ende's hesitation and the way he seemed to be struggling in his heart, the twinkling light in the old woman's eyes dimmed little by little. She shook her head disappointedly and sighed: "It seems that you really forgot. You swore to us that you would not forget. Poor girl, she is still in the dark and prays foolishly to God to bless you to come back."

Swear? Girl? The old woman said there was a girl waiting for me. Liu Ende's spirits were lifted up at once. This was really a romantic ghost. Or he encountered all kinds of misfortunes, but when he died, he couldn't get what he wanted most when he was alive, but it came to him after he died! Could it be Xiaoya? Xiaoya's face flashed through Liu Ende's mind.

"No, granny!"

Regardless of his pale face, he sat up despite the severe pain and said to the old woman righteously: "How could I forget the oath I made? It's just that my body is inconvenient. I still hope to rely on your help. When I recover, I will go to the little girl. Promise? I, Liu, no, I, Luka, have always been a person who keeps my promises!"

The old woman's eyes seemed to sparkle again, and her attitude changed 180 degrees. She was so happy that she laughed out loud and said quickly, "Okay, okay, okay. You won't let the girl down, and the old man won't blame you anymore."

After that, he brought a thin blanket and gently covered Liu Ende with it, smiling and saying to him, "I'll ask that old man to apply medicine on you. Alas, poor child, you have been injured so badly at such a young age."

After everything was packed up, the diligent old woman ran out of the door in a series of big and small steps, leaving Liu Ende alone, no, it should be Lu Jia. As soon as the door closed, the smile on his face froze, and he began to feel vaguely uneasy in his heart.

I really don't understand why their attitudes changed so quickly. They were very clear about this inexplicable oath. They wanted Liu Ende to fulfill his unclear oath. Could it be that the girl who was sworn to was really the legendary Dulcinea? Then what was Liu Ende? Don Quixote? "No, no!"

Liu Ende shook his head desperately, trying to get rid of the seemingly unrealistic but real fear. What kind of girl is so worried about getting married? Liu Ende doesn't believe in being beautiful. It seems that she can only face Dulcinea, who is as strong as a man and has chest hair on her chest. I don't know what this great god is called. When I go to worship in the future, I will sincerely pray for her forgiveness and let poor Liu Ende escape from her clutches! Just thinking about this, I heard the wooden door "creak" open, and saw the old doctor walked in. His expression was not as bad as when he went out. Behind him followed a man. There were still many bruises on his face. It was obvious that he had been fighting for a long time. Look, he couldn't walk properly. He was wearing a white coarse linen shirt that was not old. The clothes might be one size smaller, or the man was too strong, and the clothes were stretched tightly, giving Liu Ende the feeling that he could tear the clothes with just a little effort. Oh, isn't this the stinky cripple!

What is this? Forcing him to fulfill his promise is much more serious than this! Liu Ende looked at the man behind Dr. Bella vigilantly. The first thing he thought of was that this guy was looking for a fight again. Thinking about it, Liu Ende couldn't help but smile bitterly, knowing that he really couldn't escape this time!

"Luga, your comrades are here to see you."

"My comrade?"

After Dr. Bella introduced him, Liu Ende looked at the tall and strong man in confusion. The strong man stared at me fiercely. Looking at the large and small bruises on his face, I seemed to remember something. Isn't this the crippled Andrew? I really couldn't recognize him after washing his face. Although he got an advantage in his eyes, he didn't rush up to fight. Liu Ende breathed a sigh of relief. Dr. Bella took out a cloth bag and came to Liu Ende. He opened it and applied the crushed herbs on his abdomen. Suddenly, a coolness spread from the wound to Liu Ende's whole body, which made him relax a lot.

"alright!"

Doctor Bella clapped her hands, turned around and said to Andrew, "You guys discuss your business, I'm going out."

With that, Dr. Bella turned and walked out, leaving Liu Ende and Andrew in the room.

Andrew came to Liu Ende's bed with an expressionless face, moved a stool and sat down. Before Liu Ende could greet him, he got to the point, "When are you going back?"

"What? Go back?"

"Yes!" Andrew nodded, looked at Liu Ende seriously, and then said: "I feel like you don't belong here, as if God has taken away your memories. If you stay here like this, sooner or later they will kill you as an ominous person?" Oh, did I beat this strong man silly? Looking at Andrew's serious face, Liu Ende didn't call him an idiot.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Andrew means that I will become an ominous person? Liu Ende laughed and thought: I am not a human, I am a ghost! "Do you have such a strange rule for ghosts in the underworld?" Liu Ende asked puzzledly.

"What the hell?"

When Liu Ende asked this, Andrew looked at him in confusion, as if he was really a madman! "Lu Jia, although this is the first day I met you, but listen to my advice, I know a good witch doctor, he may be able to cure your disease!"

"Oh, come on, you must be mistaken, Andrew, I'm really not sick! Could it be..."

No way, Liu Ende suddenly woke up, and an incredible idea appeared in his mind. So, he did not go to the underworld, but to another era. The scientific explanation is time travel, the unscientific explanation is rebirth, and the ugly explanation is fucking what is this? Damn, should I do this, this script is terrible. Liu Ende silently struggled in his heart. When he was a child, he watched too many time travel dramas, which led to him having improper thoughts about the toilet and the sewer in his home. But now that he is old enough to not believe in this stuff, what is this for him? But Liu Ende can't show that he is a time traveler, the joy or uneasiness of rebirth, otherwise this guy will scare Andrew and insist that Liu Ende is a demon. Now he can't avoid the fate of being burned alive! No, Liu Ende feels that he must act like he has lost his memory and can't let others see any clues in this era and land that don't belong to him.
