Chapter 49: Stab Me

Speaking from the heart, I actually like to get along with Yan Qixing, although there are things to decide, but there is not too much pressure. It was a strange feeling, like an old friend for many years, and like a couple who knew each other very well, and they didn't need to think too much about each other, just quietly and slowly drinking, occasionally making eye contact, chatting as they wanted, relaxed and comfortable, never had this feeling - stability!

What is more desirable for a weary soul than to be stable?

I and Yan Qixing parted before dawn.

In less than a month, I was separated from the same person twice, and I was always a little sad in my heart, but because of last night's reunion, new hopes were ignited in the melancholy.

August 16 was a sunny day.

I will remember this day until I die, and another turning point in my life began on the first day after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

After a short rest, I got up and freshened up, and had some breakfast casually, when I heard a strange noise at the door of the house. Step out of the living room...... I never thought that this would happen to me.

"Brush ......" a few knives across my neck.

The knife is a ring-headed knife, and the maker is under me.

"What's the matter?" I widened my eyes, in a huge courtyard, I don't know when there were two rows of guards standing neatly, it was the palace guards, yes, but they were not on duty in the palace, why did they come to me to dance knives and get guns? Aiming at the leader: "What are you doing early in the morning?"

I know this person, he is the head of the guards of Weiyang Palace, surnamed Pei Mingzhu. Usually when he saw me smiling, but now his face sank like water, and he raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Don't move! At the behest of His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, the traitor Liu Dan will be temporarily imprisoned and will be sent down." If you dare to resist, there will be no forgiveness. ”

I was stunned. A thunderbolt on the head wasn't so surprising.

What kind of traitor? Why does this sound so harsh? What is going on? Even the words that kill without mercy are uttered?

"Pei Zhu, you make it clear, what crime have I committed?" I tried to hold my composure.

Pei Zhu frowned, and said sharply: "You teamed up with Mrs. Wei's son-in-law, Taizhong doctor Wei Qing, to put abortion pills in Wang Niangniang's supplements, causing Wang Niangniang to miscarry. His Majesty was furious when he heard the news, and ordered a cadre to be arrested and judged!"

I opened my mouth wide and was silent for a while.

Autumn rain, chrysanthemums, Qing merchants, food boxes...... It's very accidental, inadvertent...... Unlucky palace struggle!

I had to smile bitterly, I was very careful, and I still fell into the way of others. It really fulfills the old saying: Sitting at home behind closed doors, disaster will come from heaven.

"How is Wang Jieyu?" I asked in a deep voice.

"It's not a big deal yet. ”

"Where's Wei Niangniang?"

"Break into the cold palace. ”

"Where's Wei Qing?"

"Sent to prison. ”

"Qing Shang?"

"Suicide in fear of sin. ”

Clean, neat, dead and unproven!

This trick kills three birds with one stone, and it works.

My mind was in a mess.

Pei Zhu said: "Lord Liu, I know that you are proficient in technical combat and swordsmanship, but the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, and I hope that your lord will not resist, so don't make me embarrassed." ”

I was stunned, who wants to embarrass them? If Wei Qing hadn't been implicated, I would have been arrested obediently. But now even Wei Qing is not spared, I went in, who will find out the truth?

"Okay, I'll go with you. I said happily.

The two men with the knife on my neck breathed a sigh of relief when they heard me say this, and while they were relieved, I fell backwards and leaped straight into the living room.

As soon as the accident happened, the guards were shocked and chased in. When I started "light work", I actually used the speed of a 100-meter sprint to desperately pass through the back door, over the courtyard at the back, and from the small door in the backyard...... Ran away.

The escape went well.

An hour later, I appeared in a tea shop in Chang'an City with a high bun on my head, a jade hairpin in my hair, rouge on my face, a red spot on my left cheek and a black mole on my right cheek, and a blue dress with broken flowers.

Which bastard is fucking me?

The first instinct was that this thing must not have been done by Wei Zifu. How smart she is, even if she wants to do it, she will never be stupid enough to let her palace maid stand out, such an obvious flaw, Liu Che will not be able to see it?

But according to historical research, the smarter the emperor, the easier it is to be deceived by simple deception, because sometimes, there is a fine line between being smart and stupid. There are many reasons why people turn from smart to stupid, and one of them is anger. Otherwise, Jiang Chong said a flattery, how could he put Prince Wei to death?

It is not impossible for the emperor, who attaches great importance to his heirs, and the emperor who hopes for his heirs, to suddenly suffer such a big blow and his IQ drops to zero in anger.

Maybe he will regret it after he wakes up, but it doesn't matter to me anymore, it doesn't even matter if I can return my innocence, if it weren't for the Wei brothers and sisters, I just patted my ass and left, whoever loves to wronged me and who wronged me, I don't care, can my innocence be used as food? Anyway, it is worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth.

But you can't go, ruthless is the emperor's family, Wei Zifu is gradually falling out of favor now, except for the bastard mastermind, at this time, there are many people who have fallen into the well, and it is not impossible to fabricate a lot of evidence to make this matter to death. At that time, not only Wei Qing's life will be difficult to protect, but even Xiao Huo and the entire Wei family will be implicated, and the empire will be stillborn before it has a chance to be baked.

Hell, if you want to say that there is no such thing in the history books, now it's all messed up. Wang Hongdie was originally a folk maiko, if it weren't for me, the probability of her becoming a phoenix in one step in her life is below 0.008 percent. If she doesn't enter the palace, she won't have this kind of thing, Wei Zifu Wei Qing won't be convicted out of thin air, and I won't be unlucky.

The current history is no longer the one in my head, it is completely out of control, and if it continues to mess around like this, it is said that the empire is double, maybe the Han Dynasty will die hundreds of years earlier.

Thinking of this, I immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

If this is the case, what will happen to the future dynasties? Will there be the Three Kingdoms and the Two Jin Dynasties? Will there be the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties? Will there be the People's Republic of China, will there be Xiao Jian, will there be me?) (Although this assumption is unlikely to be true, the crossing itself breaks through the laws of nature, and it is not an exaggeration to make some mistakes on top of this.) )

If so, this mess will be a big mess, and I came all the way to the Han Dynasty, not to overthrow history.

The more I think about it, the more frightened I become, and this matter must be settled as soon as possible, otherwise there may be some more variables.

However, who will be the target of this incident? I am still the Wei family? Or is it simply the unborn prince? Who is the murderer? If it is a harem competition for favor, the first to bear the brunt is Empress Chen, and no matter how many people there are, they will not be able to get rid of the concubines; if it is the court personnel dumping, it will be troublesome, and it will really not be able to find the main owner for a while.

It's easy to stay up until dark, sneak back to your house, and see that the front and back doors are guarded by forbidden troops, and they are heavily guarded, but for a modern woman, what scene has she never seen? This kind of pediatrics is naturally easy to handle. But it's a bit embarrassing to go back to your own house and be so sneaky.

Change into night clothes, bring the essentials, and the next destination - Weiyang Palace. There are two target characters, Wei Zifu and Empress Chen.

In my heart, I actually hoped that this was just a simple harem competition for favor, and I was accidentally implicated. With this idea, these two people must be seen, one is open, and the other is secretly peeping.

If there is a place in the world that I am absolutely familiar with, it is Weiyang Palace, how many palace rooms there are in Weiyang, how many gardens, how many rooms are in each palace, who lives in the palace, how many masters and slaves, and even how many brick houses on the ground and how many tiles on the tiles know clearly, this is an accident in the past few years to find Hetian Yu.

With such convenient conditions, I quickly found the cold palace where Wei Zifu lived, I don't know if it was too much of a coincidence, that place was the place where Empress Chen was going to live in a few years later - the famous "Changmen Palace". The reason why Nagato Palace is famous is not because there was a deposed queen who was imprisoned here, but because of Sima Xiangru's "Nagato Fu", so that this cold palace representing despair will be passed on to future generations.

Nagato Palace is actually not as decayed and desolate as ordinary people think, and there are slaves and maids who are serving, but they have lost their freedom and can no longer be favored by the emperor. The woman who has been assigned here will have no hope but to die in despair and loneliness.

The above statement is just someone else's, according to my own thoughts, rather than getting involved in the battle of the harem and living in fear, it is better to live here to try to be quiet. There is no shortage of food and clothing, there are still maids and servants waiting for you, playing the piano and dancing when you have nothing to do, writing poems and paintings, is it better than thinking about how to please the emperor all day long, and being jealous and hurting people?

But in this cold palace, others can live in it and even I can live in it, but Wei Zifu can't live in it. For Wei Qing, for Xiao Huo, Wei Zifu can't live here.

Wei Qing is my friend, and Xiao Huo is my apprentice. When I was in prison, Xiao Huo knelt outside the emperor's bedroom for three days and three nights in the cold winter to plead for me, and almost lost his life. There are things that affect his future today, and he has to settle things even if he fights for his life.

Huo Quai, a peerless general I admire, his undefeated general can't die before he even started, but the initiator is me, the unlucky master?

So, anyway, I must clean up this mess before I can retire.

When I arrived outside Nagato Palace, it was already late at night, so I carefully observed the surroundings and made sure that everything was safe and secure, and then sneaked into Nagato. The palace was dark, and I skillfully touched the largest room - although I entered the cold palace, the master was still the master, and the room was naturally the largest.

I opened the door softly, and suddenly, there was a light inside, which startled me, and when I looked at it, it was Wei Zifu, dressed in plain clothes, sitting behind the desk, staring at me quietly behind the dim candlelight.

"When I heard that you had resisted arrest and fled, I knew that you would come to see me. Her face was pale and bloodless, and she was much haggard overnight, as if a flower had withered in an instant.

I closed the door with my backhand, walked up to her quickly, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Wei Zifu smiled sadly and said: "Since the day I entered the palace, I have been wary of this day, so I am afraid day and night, and I am careful in my words and actions, lest I fall into the hands of others, and I can't imagine that the disaster will come so quickly." There are countless beauties in this court, and there is only one emperor, you are favored today, I will fall out of favor tomorrow, and it is common for the harem to dump the plain, but it is just that the young brother and my Wei clan have been affected for no reason. Even if the husband dies, he will not be at ease. ”

"Don't worry, you won't die if I die. I sat across from her. "As long as you find out the truth of the matter and return your innocence, let alone return to Zhaoyang, it will not be difficult to enter the Jiaofang. ”

"You're really comforting. Wei Zifu smiled bitterly and blamed me, and the gloom in his expression decreased a lot. "Now everyone has concluded that I was poisoned because I was competing with Wang Jieyu for favor, why do you think I was wronged?"

"Did you do that?" I asked her.

"It's not. She affirmed. "If I poison myself, how can I find my own henchmen to do it?"

"Isn't that the end of that?" I sneered. "A fool can also see this big flaw, but your emperor's husband can't see it. ”

Wei Zifu smiled miserably and said: "Because before Qing Shang committed suicide, he personally admitted that he was instructed by me, how can Your Majesty not believe it? ”

"He is your husband, how can a husband not believe in his wife but believe in the truth of outsiders?" I was a little angry. This Wei Zifu is like this, and he also defends the dizzy Liu Che.

Liu Che, Liu Che, are you really confused or fake?

............

In fact, I also expected the death of Qing Shang early in the morning.

The key to the whole thing is this Qing Shang. There are only two reasons why she dared to do it, knowing that the end of doing this was a dead end: one was willing to die for others, the other was forced to do it by the situation, and in the end, she committed suicide because she was coerced to die.

But what puzzled me was that she handed me the food box halfway through and dragged me into the water, was it intentional or unintentional?

"How long has Qing Shang been with you?" I asked.

"From the time she entered the palace, it was three years and seven months. Wei Zifu picked up the pot on the table, poured a cup of water and handed it to me, I waved my hand and refused.

"What kind of relatives does she have, and what is her background?"

The use of people in the harem, it is impossible for the master to know these basic information, and the person who may become the henchman of the master will definitely investigate his life background and employment clearly.

Wei Zifu took a sip of clear water in his mouth and said: "She has only one father, named Qingdi, who originally served in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but a few days ago he stole things in the Mansion to sell, and was discovered by the Governor of the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”

Prime Minister, Wu'an Hou Tianwei! Why is this indispensable for everything?

"So, Qingshang has a good relationship with her father?"

"Yes, she is an extremely filial child. ”

"Before the accident, did Qing Shang have any unusual behaviors?"

It seems that Wei Zifu himself has thought about these things a thousand times in his heart, and almost without thinking about it, he replied: "The night before the accident, I saw her crying alone, and asked her what was wrong, but I refused to say, I only thought that I had suffered something idle, so I did not pursue it. Now that I think about it, could it be that it has something to do with it?"

"Is it your idea to send supplements to Wang Hongdie, or is it from Qing Shang?"

"Mine. Wei Zifu lowered his head. "I just want to get along with her. I can't think of ......."

Summing up lessons and lessons: Living in the palace, you can send anything if you want to show favor to others, but don't give food and drink to the emperor's favorite concubines, especially pregnant women who are pregnant with "dragon seeds".

"What's out of the ordinary besides that?"

Wei Zifu smiled bitterly: "Since the accident, I have thought about the place to think about it dozens of times, and I can't think of it anymore." ”

In this way, there are only two clues: Qingdi and Tian Wei.

"So, what about Empress Chen, did you see her before the accident?"

Wei Zifu nodded and said, "Yes, the queen is the master of the harem, and according to the rules, you should greet the queen every morning." Yesterday morning, I saw it as an example. ”

"Is there anything wrong with her?"

Wei Zifu thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I know you are doubting the queen, in fact, I have thought about it too." It's just that the queen is proud of her identity, and she has always had no one in her eyes, and the method used to kill people is the most direct. This time he acted so carefully and deceitfully, and it was not the queen's style. ”

And that's right. I have personally learned the methods of Chen Ajiao, the blatant assassination of court officials outside Chang'an City, although I knew that she was involved afterwards, but because of the Queen Mother and the eldest princess, Liu Che didn't do anything with her.

According to her fearless personality, this incident really doesn't quite look like hers.

But now it's different from the past, now that Liu Che is getting full-fledged, she doesn't need to get the eldest princess anymore, not to mention that the queen's fall from grace is well known, no matter how arrogant she is at this time, she herself has to weigh whether Liu Che will buy her account, so it is not impossible to secretly persecute the favorite concubine.

In a word, Chen Ajiao must not be checked.

"By the way, I entered the palace to face the saint on the day of the accident, did you know at that time?"

Wei Zifu shook his head and said, "I don't know." Why do you ask?"

"I want to know if Qing Shang ......" I casually aimed at her, my heart moved, it was really strange, the face that was white just now was ruddy, and it was so red that her whole person had a kind of bewitching look.

"Wei Niangniang, are you alright?" An extreme weirdness hit my heart, and I stood up involuntarily, she wasn't sick.

Wei Zifu raised his hand and touched his face and said, "It's okay, it's just ...... It's hot. ”

I looked intently at her face...... What are the bright red ones?

Bright red liquid slowly flowed out from the nostrils.

The night is late and the autumn is cool, will it be so hot that you will have nosebleeds?

Wei Zifu reached out to touch it, and when he saw the blood, he immediately exclaimed, I quickly took a sweat towel to wipe it for her, and comforted: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a nosebleed." ”

The nosebleed soaked the sweat towel, the nosebleed more and more, Wei Zifu pressed his chest uncomfortably, his red face turned pale as paper in an instant, and I panicked, this is not an ordinary nosebleed, absolutely not.

Liu Dan...... I'm uncomfortable......" Wei Zifu scratched his chest with his hands, the green tendons on his neck burst out, and then suddenly opened his mouth, and a tent of blood spit out "wow", spraying me all over.

As soon as she vomited blood, I was immediately stunned, and watched in horror as she struggled to get up, threw herself into my arms and shouted, "Help me!"

No, no, she's poisoned, she's poisoned!!

Cold sweat oozed from my forehead, and I hugged her and shouted in a trembling voice: "How to save it? You tell me how to save it? Wei Zifu?!"

Wei Zifu stared at me and didn't speak, his face was pale, but his beautiful eyes were full of blood, exuding a strange light. She glared at me, staring straight at the ground, not speaking.

"Wei Zifu?" I called to her softly, and she was silent in my arms.

"Wei Zifu, Wei Zifu?" I shouted in a loud voice, shaking her body desperately, but she still didn't respond, reaching out to try her breath, feeling nothing.

I trembled with fear, and the chill enveloped me from all sides, and the cold pierced my heart like a sharp sword.

No, no...... How can this be? Not like that...... How could Wei Zifu die? How could she die? She still had to give birth to a son, she still had to be the queen, how could she die? Why did she die? What about history? What is history? Can anyone tell me what happened? Who can tell me what happened? Who can tell me?

"Liu Dan!" The sound of kicking the door was followed by an angry roar, which was particularly piercing in the quiet night.

I hugged Wei Zifu, looked back blankly, and saw a familiar face in a trance.

"Liu Che?" I couldn't turn around in a daze. An attendant rushed forward in a few steps, snatched Wei Zifu from my hand, and then said only two words, "Dead." ”

I glared at Liu Che, Liu Che stared at me, his face was distorted, his eyes were full of unbelievable horror and anger, what was he thinking? I held my breath.

Step by step, with heavy footsteps, he walked towards me, his eyes staring at me fiercely for a moment, and even, I could hear him clenching his teeth, and he passed past me to see Wei Zifu.

My gaze subconsciously followed him, and then I heard a bone-chilling voice, gloomy echoing through the vast chamber......

"You killed her, and you dared to kill my woman in my palace. ”

"Me?" I stammered, my eyes wide. "I didn't, no...... I didn't kill her!"

"Not you?" Liu Chehuo took a step back, pointed to Wei Zifu's corpse and roared at me: "The evidence is ironclad, you still dare to quibble?"

I looked over dizzily, and with a "buzz" sound, sharp tinnitus pierced the eardrum and convergated in the brain, and Wei Zifu's chest actually had a short knife inserted, my unique Swiss short knife!

The blood "poofed" on the head, and the already unconscious head suddenly "boomed" non-stop.

This knife, this knife...... I looked around in a panic, my teeth chattering...... When was this knife inserted?

Liu Che leaned over and pulled it out, holding a knife and pointing at me: "In the whole world, who can have this knife except you? What else do you say?"

I pointed to my fingers, struggling to point at the short knife, and all the cells in the chaotic brain seemed to be tangled in one place, completely losing the ability to think.

"Say, why did you kill her, why did you kill my unborn child?" Liu Che pointed at me, approaching step by step, his voice squeezing out from between his teeth, revealing a strong hatred.

"It's not me, it's not me!" I panicked, and I stepped back, waving my arms with all my might.

Liu Che didn't allow me to tell the difference, and his anger burst out like a volcano: "Until now, you still refuse to admit your guilt? Am I not good enough for you? Liu Dan, how can you be so vicious? So mad?"

Liu Che, who had lost his mind, forced in front of me, and suddenly sent his hand forward......

I felt a chill somewhere on my body, and instinctively reached out to cover it, hot, wet, red and bright, it was blood, my blood.

Opening my hand, I stared at the bright red of one hand in amazement, and looked down to see that the Swiss short knife was now inserted in my lower abdomen, deep, deep.

I looked up at Liu Che, and he seemed to be stunned, as if this knife was not stabbed by him at all, and his eyes were full of shock and fear.

The pain immediately spread throughout the body.

The blood flowed "in a row", and along with it, there were tears.

Liu Che, he really wants to kill me......

I staggered back, I raised my hand to draw the knife, and the blade slowly pulled out of the flesh, and after the sharp pain, my brain cleared. I heard my own voice unusually clear: "I did not kill the man, I did not give the medicine, if you believe, within a month I will bring the real murderer to you; ”

As he spoke, the tip of the knife reached his throat, and the blood flowed from the wound in his lower abdomen, just staring at Liu Chedi's expression quietly.

"Catch her. Someone shouted. Immediately, the guards swarmed me and surrounded me.

I glared at Liu Che, Liu Che was silent, gritted my teeth, I raised the short knife in my hand and stabbed it hard into my chest......

"Stop!" there was a loud thud, and the short knife was no more than half an inch from my heart, and it stopped very quickly.

Liu Che's face was pale, his black eyes were full of gloom, and his tense chin and tightly knit eyebrows fully revealed that his brain was in a state of rapid thinking.

The guards froze, and the dagger was still no more than half an inch from my heart. Everything hangs in mid-air, waiting for instructions.

Liu Che, he finally waved his hand decisively, and his voice was low: "Let her go." ”

I left Weiyang Palace with an injury.

The wound hurts, but my heart hurts even more.

In the past few years, even if there is no love, there are feelings, although it is a little complicated, it can be regarded as a very deep feeling. Think about it, there are only a few important people in my life, Xiao Jian is far away, and the rest are all in the Han Dynasty. In addition to Yan Qixing and Wei Qing, there is only Liu Che.

All along, relying on his special friendship with me, I can't talk about being pampered and arrogant, but I am rarely afraid. I never imagined that one day, he would stab me mercilessly in the face.

Really, really...... It's so sad.

Sitting under a big tree on the side of a dark path, tears fell unconsciously. Tear off the placket of his shirt to bandage his wound, the wound was very deep but he couldn't die, so he cried while bandaging, this time it was really, both bleeding and tears, worthy of the name blood and tears.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che, what kind of cultural and martial arts opened up the territory and expanded the territory of the first emperor through the ages, he was simply incompetent, stupid, idiot, bastard, plus three levels!

Angry, he scolded Emperor Wu heartily with the most vicious words, until he was tired and tired, then he closed his mouth and collapsed under the tree panting. Scolding can't solve the problem, crying can't solve the problem, and finding out the truth can't solve the problem, because history has changed, Wei Zifu is dead, and everything in the future is full of variables. What does the future hold?

Closing my eyes, I reminisced about the events that took place in Nagato Palace, not sparing even the smallest details...... From beginning to end, until Wei Zifu died in my arms, that knife, not me, can never be herself, so who stabbed her in her, is it really a ghost?

Raise your hand and knock on the skull, it's really messy, it's just a concubine competing for favor, why did you make such a big deal? Wei Zifu has been poisoned to death, why did he still insert a knife in her body?

There is only one reason.

I'm their goal too, but am I one of their goals, or is it their ultimate goal?

Which bastard is behind it?

Filtered in my mind, the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the court, I rarely have contact with them, and I have no chance to offend them at all. If you want to say that there is, there is only Queen Chen, and Tian Wei, who often looks at me unpleasantly.

Red Butterfly miscarried, Wei Zifu died, I couldn't clear my name, and I couldn't avoid death in the end, and I got rid of the three of us in one fell swoop, who is the biggest beneficiary?

Empress Chen!

I can't think of anyone else but her.

Not long ago, Wei Zifu told me that I should be careful of the queen because of the red butterfly, and it was only a few days later, and sure enough, something happened. It's just that I didn't expect that the worst thing was her, and she ended up with a fragrant and jade death.

Chen Ajiao......

My heart is desolate, for Wang Hongdie, for Wei Zifu, and even for Chen Ajiao, there is also a me. Poor ladies of the court, will never escape the fate of this strange deformity?

Holding on to the tree, I slowly stood up, feeling the pain of the wound as it healed rapidly. I felt the short knife in my arms that had been inserted into Wei Zifu's body and later stabbed me.

I sneered...... Naturally, the knife was not inserted into Wei Zifu's body, and the person who came into contact with Wei Zifu's body in the end was the most suspicious, and that person was not me.

Wei Zifu was poisoned and died, Emperor Wu of Han arrived in time, and then, a guard snatched Wei Zifu from my arms...... Although deposed, Wei Zifu is still the emperor's woman, what does this guard mean by being so overstepping?

I walked a few steps with my stomach in my hands, and I couldn't find that guy like this, but if I didn't go to him tonight, I was afraid that I would never have a chance.

Qing Shang was wiped out, and this guard was probably in danger of his life.

Take a deep breath and endure the pain and return to Weiyang Palace. At this time, the guards in the palace are about to change shifts, and they are guarding the palace gate, so they should be able to intercept him.

Forced to come to the vicinity of Weiyang Palace, the sky is close to dawn, find a dark place to hide and rest for a while, when the sky is slightly bright, the palace door opens, a team of laid-off guards changed into civilian clothes, came out of the palace, and after saying goodbye, they dispersed.

By the light of dawn, I set my eyes on the guard named Zhuping, followed him, and prepared to go to a secluded place to subdue him, and torture him, not afraid that I would not be able to ask the commander behind him.

Turning around and turning around, I came to an alley, I took a thick and large wooden stick, gently stepped forward...... "bang", the sound was dull, it felt very painful, my head seemed to explode, and then I lost consciousness.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind.
