But he himself had witnessed this extremely weird scene with his own eyes! And to this day, that scene is still unforgettable!
I remember that a few years ago, there was constant chaos in Hebei, with gangsters from all walks of life and horse bandits running rampant! Liu Hongji, the general at the time, was ordered by Xiao Lizi to go to the north to suppress the bandits.
It was the middle of winter. Liu Hongji led a team of men and horses to chase a group of horse bandits. They had no way to go to the sky and no way to go to the ground. In the end, they panicked and ran into the Turkic pasture with their heads covered!
Because at that time, the Tang Dynasty was enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens!
Considering that trespassing into Turkic territory can easily lead to misunderstandings.
In addition, it was getting dark and the wind was cold, so Liu Hongji gave up the pursuit and decided to find a sheltered place to camp, eat something, and then think about other things.
Facts have proved that Liu Hongji's choice at that time was definitely a wise one!
That night, the already cold weather suddenly dropped a lot. It was so cold that when Liu Hongji got up to urinate at night, he was worried that he would be frozen by the cold weather...
After finally surviving the next day, when the temperature had risen a little, Liu Hongji and the others dared to crawl out of the thick grass and gathered together to study whether to continue chasing the horse thieves.
The research results of several people are not surprising!
The fundamental reason for this result is that those horse bandits are very rich!
Didn’t people say in ancient times, don’t chase after poor bandits!
The meaning of this sentence is: Don't chase thieves who are like poor ghosts. If you don't work hard, you won't get any benefit.
And the group of horse thieves they were chasing were all horse thieves leaders, and they were full of good things. If this gave the Turks an advantage, it would be a huge loss.
Don’t laugh at Liu Hongji, a philistine!
Because at that time, the Tang Dynasty had just been extorted by the Turks, and the treasury was so empty that rats could starve to death! Li Shimin selectively forgot about wages...
Li Shimin forgot to pay wages. To Xiao Han, who had almost never seen wages, it was nothing. He didn't live on this salary.
But for Liu Hongji in the military camp and the mood of his men, it really hurt them!
They don't have as much property as Xiao Han, and they can't get wages, which is like ending their livelihood!
So the officers and soldiers, whose eyes were red from holding back the blood, had no choice but to fish for the thieves! The proposal to go to the grassland to arrest the people was naturally supported.
But who could have known at the time that just because of Liu Hongji's proposal, he and his subordinates who were following him had nightmares for half a month!
Not far from the grassland, behind a dirt bag, Liu Hongji, who led the team, saw those horse bandits!
It’s just a hill apart! Just one night!
The horse bandits who were still alive and kicking yesterday have turned into stiff corpses today, scattered in all directions behind the dirtbags!
Of course, if there were only corpses on the ground, it would not be enough to shake Liu Hongji's battle-hardened heart.
He has seen many more dead people than here. He has seen them all with bloody and horrific forms, nothing special about them!
What really made Liu Hongji's hair stand on end was that among the horse bandits who froze to death, 20% of them were completely naked and lying naked on the grass, with their eyes open and a weird smile on their lips!
As for the rest of the people, their clothes were more or less showing signs of being taken off!
At first, Liu Hongji, who saw this scene, thought that he was too late because the Turks had visited the place earlier and collected all the valuables.
But after he investigated it carefully, he suddenly discovered:
There were no scars on these people's bodies, and the clothes scattered around were not taken off by others, but taken off by themselves!
Although the money on my body, including weapons, was scattered everywhere, there was no shortage of it!
This means that these people have never encountered any enemies at all! Everything they did was done willingly!
This scene at that time had such a great impact on Liu Hongji! So much so that he didn't even dare to take those people's treasures. He only dared to gather them together with the horse bandits and burned them all with a fire.
For peace of mind.
But even so, after Liu Hongji came back, he could still dream about the weird smiles on those people's faces, and it wasn't until a long time later that this situation disappeared.
As a result, after Xiao Han mentioned it today, Liu Hongji's thoughts were instantly aroused, making him feel chilly in his heart again!
"You...how did you know?" He stuttered and asked this sentence. Liu Hongji stared at Xiao Han with his bull's-eyes, for fear of missing a word.
He knew that Xiao Han had a weird origin, and his abilities were also weird! Even in the market, many people said that he was a playful god who lived in the world, but did not come from the world!
Could it be that the rumors are true? Can he really solve this mystery that has troubled him for many years?
You know, for this mystery, Liu Hongji burned incense, prayed to Buddha, and consulted Taoist priests! He even became a vegetarian for more than half a year! His face almost turned green! He didn't even get half the result.
"How do I know? Of course I know!"
Xiao Han didn't know Liu Hongji's mystery deep in his heart. Seeing his nervous look, he rolled his eyes and said, "I'll teach you to be a good boy. Don't talk casually about areas that you are not good at. Because of this
It’s easy to make a mistake! Don’t be stubborn, it’s easy to get slapped in the face!”
"Okay, okay!" Liu Hongji didn't care what Xiao Han said at this time. He just nodded and said: "Whatever you say is what it is! Tell me quickly, why are those people naked, with their faces... on their faces?
Why do you have such a weird smile?"
"Hmph..."
He raised his head and glanced sideways at Liu Hongji's anxious look. Xiao Han originally wanted to tease him again, but soon, he put away his playful look and sat on the horse seriously and said:
"Ahem, let me tell you, it doesn't matter! The reason why those people don't wear clothes and still smile is because when their body is about to lose temperature, they will trigger a self-protection similar to drinking, which will exhaust the body's energy.
At the same time, it releases a lot of heat to warm itself.
Therefore, during that time, people will feel particularly hot and comfortable, and they will involuntarily take off all their clothes, and at the same time, a smile will appear on their faces!
However, this kind of heat comes from exhausting physical strength, so it will disappear soon! By then, the person who has no strength will be directly frozen, and the smile on his face will be retained because of this!
Well, that's it, you can take the knife away! Even if it doesn't hurt me, it won't hurt the flowers and plants..."
