At night, the moonlight shines through the branches and reflects on the window paper, leaving countless claws. In the room, the candlelight flickers and darkens. Li Mi, who is reading at night, suddenly feels chills on her body.

It was obviously a hot night, it was obviously not very windy outside, and the ventilated windows were not facing me, so why did I feel chill?

Li Mi looked around and found no suspicious shadows flashing by the door or window, but finally felt something staring at him in a corner.

This feeling is very bad, he has never been so suspicious.

Next to it, Shutong was napping at his desk. Outside the room, in the small house next to the courtyard, there was an old servant watching the door at night, with two watchdogs outside. Since there was no movement outside, it means everything was normal.

Li Mi calmed down her thoughts, withdrew her gaze and continued reading.

This is a "legend" and the writing technique is very special. It tells the story in the first person "I". Li Mi has read many stories and has never seen this way of writing. He thinks that those who dare to write books like this are either crazy or genius.

Anyway, he doesn't look like a normal person.

When he opened the pages, he gradually became "me".

I am a warrior who left the military camp and returned to visit my relatives, but I have another identity. I am an agent from "Shitaxi". I was ordered to go to my hometown to investigate a strange case.

I was on a steamer boat and was about to arrive in my hometown, but on the first night, I witnessed some strange things on the steamer boat on the night voyage.

after.....

.I returned to my hometown where I lived since childhood, sweeping my parents' graves, and then began to visit relatives and friends, including Lu Wulang, who often played together back then. The other party needs help if he has something to do.

It was a gloomy afternoon, and I stood in front of a familiar courtyard. This was Lu Wulang's home, which has been since thirty years ago. So, as I did back then, I shouted, pushed open the wood door and walked in.

After greeting Grandma Lu (Lu Wulang's grandmother), Uncle Lu (Lu Wulang's father), Lu Wulang and his wife, I met Lu Wulang's son for the first time, the naughty boy Lu Xiaoman who ate live fish raw.

The clothes that a child from an ordinary family should have appeared on him in a natural but not right way. I can't say what's wrong.

As an uncle, I took out the prepared lollipop. This is the signature candy I bought at the best candy shop in the city. It costs two cents a piece, it is the size of a bowl of noodles and has beautiful threads. I think my nephew will be very happy.

Lu Xiaoman took the lollipop and started eating it with a smile. I was about to tease him, but he raised the lollipop and threw it on the ground without any warning, and then let out a trembling cry.

The crying was so harsh that I had a strange illusion, as if the place I was in was not a neighborhood where chickens and dogs could be heard, but a cell that imprisoned a madman.

Although my sister-in-law (Lu Wulang's wife) quickly pulled the child and hugged her in her arms and couldn't help comforting her, and Lu Wulang apologized to explain to me that the child was ignorant and asked me not to be accustomed to it, I still noticed some strange things about Lu Xiaoman.

Lu Xiaoman's appearance - his face was pale, as if he was not blood-colored. Although he was just a child, his every move reminded me of an animal, that is, a monkey.

Yes, monkey, wearing clothes, trying to dress up as a man.

This impression lingers in my mind, so I vaguely feel that Lu Xiaoman is secretly observing me.

After having a meal at the Lu family, I followed Lu Wulang to a corner outside without anyone else. He stared at me with wide eyes, his mouth squirmed, and for a moment, he took out a small cloth bag from his pocket.

"This thing is unlucky, I don't know what to do..."

He said in a little panic, looking around as he said, as if he was afraid that someone would peep.

"My son looked at this jade pendant and would laugh foolishly. He once threw it into the river, but after a few days, the fish I caught were opened, and after the fish I caught were opened, I found that the jade pendant was in the fish's belly..."

Lu Wulang spoke with a tremolo. I was very surprised because my good friend was not afraid of the world back then, and even made bets with others to spend the night at night, winning ten cents from the other party.

I took the small cloth bag and opened it, and found that it was a jade pendant.

A blood-red jade pendant was a bit cold in my hand, which felt very strange.

The jade pendant was a bit incomplete, and the gap was like a bloody mouth, opening towards me.

......

At night, in a corner of Chang'an, Mai Mansion, Mai Tiebang, who came to Beijing to report his work, was reading at night. The book in his hand was "seized" from his son. This was a "legend". Mai Tiebang originally wanted to throw it into the brazier, but after rummaging it casually, he could no longer stop.

He was illiterate, but later he joined the Hulin Army and gradually became able to read and write. Years of study gave him some knowledge.

Therefore, he was able to read and write official documents without any obstacles. His political achievements were mediocre when he was the governor of Mianzhou. This time he returned to Beijing to report his duties, Mai Tiezhang planned to beg the emperor to ask the emperor to let him return to his military post and lead troops to fight.

For the wheat iron stick, it is so enjoyable to be a general on the battlefield, and it is too boring to be a governor to persuade farmers and tribes throughout the day.

Although he was about to enter the palace tomorrow, he had already passed half an hour after holding this book in his hand.

This "Legend" actually tells the story in the first person "I". The writing style is extremely weird, and the scenes look wrong, and even a bit cunning, making people feel embarrassed when they look at it.

Mai Tiebang is not a coward. He spends the night alone in the dark forest without blinking his eyes.

The strange narrative style of this book is exactly what he likes, and the content he sees now is becoming more and more attractive.

As an agent in "Shitaxi", I investigated the case in my hometown and found many clues. I followed the clues to Shaozhou on the southern foot of Dayu Ling.

Shaozhou, the Hengzhou/Donghengzhou area of ​​Chen State, was the hometown of Shixing County.

It is also where the brave and warlike Ouyang Envoy became famous.

The wheat iron stick that he once robbed was very familiar with the mountains and rivers of his hometown, and he still remembered the Ouyang Envoy (Ouyang He) who sent troops to capture him.

When he was young, he was forced to become a thief because of his livelihood. He had to accept his fate when he was caught. Therefore, Mai Tiebang did not blame Ouyang Envoy. As for this person who rebelled soon, it was because the other party was seeking death. Mai Tiebang didn't want to ridicule anything.

However, some dirty villains arranged rumors that Ouyang Envoy's wife was abducted by ape, raped and gave birth to a child. His "bad breed" is Dr. Ouyang (Ouyang Xun), who is now Dr. Ouyang (Ouyang Xun). Mai Tiezhang felt that this was too much.

If he meets this kind of bird man, he will definitely be beaten to death.

Mai Tiezhang recognized Dr. Ouyang and felt that the other party was just looking a little bit. However, if the body and hair are the ones who are born with their parents, what can they do as a son?

Using such things to arrange them not only insults living people, but also insults those who have long passed away, and it is not done by real men.

Now, Mai Tiebang is very engaging in reading books, because "I" came to Shaozhou and discovered a strange experience in Shixing, a young Ouyang Langjun (Ouyang He) many years ago.
