The scorching sun in July was like thorns, burning all over the body.

Xi Jiangyue, who woke up from a dream, clutched her chest, suddenly opened her eyes, and let the cold sweat on her body rain like rain, she couldn't bother to wipe it off.

Seven years ago, nine-year-old Xi Jiangyue fell off a cliff to avoid the boy with silver foil on his face who wanted to take her heart.

When she woke up again, her father tearfully told her that her mother had died, and when she sneaked into the grave, she saw the body of her mother, who had lost her heart.

Since then, Xijiangyue has embarked on the road of finding the real murderer of his mother in the name of travel.

This Dongyue Cangzhou outside the city of Pinglan Valley, is the place where she fell off the cliff and was rescued by a kind-hearted person, every year today, she will be with the only grandson of the life-saving benefactor, Mu Yi, from Xichu thousands of miles to come to worship.

Xi Jiangyue raised her eyes and looked, seeing the dark clouds rolling in the sky, the wind and clouds suddenly changed, and Mu Yi, who went to explore the way, came back, just when she wanted to go down the tree to explore, she heard the sound of a man crying under her feet.

Xijiang Yue didn't want to interfere in other people's affairs, but she didn't want the man to act too indecisively, so she finally couldn't help but speak.

"Although hanging seems very easy, there are many unsuccessful cases of paralysis due to lack of oxygen to the brain." Xi Jiangyue leaned against the trunk of the tree, looking down at the hesitant man holding the belt at his feet through the flourishing branches and leaves in front of him.

Her eyes were slightly raised, her tone was extremely fast, but her expression was as indifferent and professional as talking about the weather, "The process of hanging is very painful, and only a kung fu person with a cup of tea can die, and the death is extremely ugly." ”

The man, who was struggling between life and death and had difficulty in making a choice, collapsed to the ground in fright by the sudden sound, was at a loss, and hurriedly looked around, "He He He ...... Who? Be...... Who's talking? ”

"Most people who hang themselves struggle desperately before they die, so it's easy for their pants to fall off, especially if you're young and strong...... Males, due to the blood that will flow down after death, ** is easy to warp! Speaking of this, Xi Jiangyue paused slightly, and a pair of dark jade spring-like eyes passed through the dense branches and leaves in front of him, and slowly moved towards the man's waist and abdomen, and the expression on his face did not change in the slightest.

The man was already frightened by this sudden soft voice, and he was even more frightened after listening to Xi Jiangyue's words, although he had never heard many words before, but the sarcasm in the other party's words was obviously telling him that it was not a wise choice to hang himself.

The man was frightened, and there was an embarrassment of being broken, so he quickly dropped the belt in his hand and turned around in panic and fled to a low cliff behind him.

On the tree, Xijiang Yue bent her legs slightly, adjusted her sitting posture, raised her eyes to visually measure the height of the low cliff, and carefully analyzed: "Like this height and soil hardness, you can only die if you hit the ground first with your head, in case you don't grasp the balance well, let the body hit the ground first, at least it will hurt for another quarter of an hour before you can pass out, if your luck is worse, maybe your whole body bones will be broken, and people can still be saved." ”

When the man heard this, he only felt that his scalp was numb, and he suddenly stopped, turned to stare at the hundred-year-old tree behind him, his eyes were almost bloodshot like sleepy beasts, and suddenly pulled out a dagger inlaid with jade from his waist, pressed it on his wrist, and scolded angrily: "I, me, me...... I don't care if you're a human or a ghost, but I want you to do a lot of things! Believe it or not...... I'm going to die for you right now? ”

He never thought that he would be bumped into when he committed suicide, and the other party was cold-hearted and strange, and refused to show his true face in front of others.

"A person can only die from excessive blood loss after losing more than 30 percent of his body's blood." Xi Jiangyue glanced at the jade-inlaid dagger and smooth wrist in the man's hand at her feet, and there was an inexplicable pleasure in her tone, "Especially for a person like you who cuts his wrists for the first time, due to his lack of experience, it is very likely that the cut is not in the right place or not deep enough, and before he has lost so much blood, the wound has already coagulated and scabbed, and the person is not dead, but the brain has become a vegetative person due to lack of blood." ”

Cerebral ischemia? Vegetable?

The man's movement with the dagger froze instantly, he didn't understand the meaning of these words, but the other party's words fell in his ears, but they were like silver needles piercing the tip of his heart.

Seeing that the man under the tree was stunned in place with a dejected face, Xi Jiangyue flicked his sleeves and continued: "People who have no medical knowledge will think that biting their tongues can kill themselves, of course, if you practice it yourself, you will know the fallacy. ”

"The blood vessels on the tongue are so thin that they can clot and scab before a person bleeds to death, and the tongue that has been bitten off will be spit out in pain, so it will not choke the person to death."

The young man looked up at the towering tree surrounded by the three people in front of him, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

Dryads?

"You're a tree god?" Until this time, the man had not seen Xijiangyue hidden by the flourishing branches and leaves above his head, and it was suspected that the tree god felt his sincerity, so he made a point.

Xijiangyue hooked her lips and smiled, "One Hundred and Eight Styles of Suicide" written by the old demon crane is really easy to use.

Thinking of this, the man's face was depressed and surprised and turned into grievances in an instant, and he suddenly knelt down towards the towering tree in front of him, stepped forward on his knees, and cried to the sky, "Tree God, please save me, please!" Help! Rescue ...... The innocent people in Cangzhou City! ”

Seeing this, Xi Jiangyue was silent, her eyes swept over the delicate clothes on the man's body, and she smiled.

Just now, she has heard the reason from the tangled crying of the man under the tree - today, there are many countries, wars are everywhere, three months ago, the Beiqiang king's sister-in-law Bei Mingzhen, who subdued the northern tribes in one fell swoop, led the Beiqiang army to press the border and invade the border of East Vietnam, Cangzhou City.

The Northern Qiang people have always been known for their bloody and barbaric tribes, and because the tribe is barren, the soldiers used by the army rely on war and plunder, so the marching army rarely brings its own grain and grass, and they all feed on local prisoners of war and ordinary people.

When the monarch of Dongyue heard of this, he personally ordered Xiao Wei, the general of the protector of the country, to send his commander to meet the enemy in order to ensure the peace of the border.

Under the tree, the person who wants to find death is the official responsible for making feather arrows under Xiao Wei's command, and tomorrow at noon is the time to hand over arrows, but because of the poverty and lack of materials in Cangzhou, he only made half of the required feather arrows.

Failure to obey military orders shall be punished.

On the tree, Xi Jiangyue's voice sounded again, not hurried, "Make a puppet with thatch, wear Xiao Jun's armor, and fall under the city in the middle of the night, which can help you collect the remaining arrows." ”

"When you are strong, you will retreat, and if the enemy is weak, you must not be greedy."

The gentle voice made the man stunned at first, and then swept away in an instant.

Looking up at the flourishing canopy in front of him again, he felt that it seemed to radiate supreme light.

After a long time, the man stood with his hands arched, bowed deeply to the big tree, and said: "Thank you for the help of the tree god, if the tree god's plan can be achieved today, I must come to thank you with a heavy bow." ”

When he raised his head again, some doubts flashed in his eyes, and just as he wanted to go up to the tree to investigate, he felt a numbness in his neck, and he passed out.
