Liu Hongji didn't know how Xiao Han knew this.
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 it was a few years ago. There was constant chaos in Hebei, with gangsters from all walks of life and horse bandits running rampant! Liu Hongji, then general, was entrusted by Xiao Lizi to go to the north to suppress 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 climb out of the thick grass and gather together to study whether to continue chasing the horse thieves.
The research results of several people, not surprisingly, are still chasing!
The fundamental reason for this result is that those horse bandits are very rich!
In ancient times, people said, don’t chase poor enemies!
The meaning of this sentence is: Don't chase thieves who are like poor ghosts. They will be exhausted and you will not get any benefits.
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 mice 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 did not 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 cutting off their livelihood!
So the officers and soldiers, whose eyes were red from holding back the pain, had no choice but to fish for the thief! The proposal to go to the grassland to arrest 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 followed 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!
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 soil bag!
Of course, if there were only corpses on the ground, it wouldn't be enough to shake Liu Hongji's battle-hardened heart.
He has seen many more dead people than here. He has seen all the bloody and horrific ones, nothing special!
What really made Liu Hongji's hair stand on end was that among the group of horse bandits who were frozen to death, 20% of them took off their clothes and lay 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 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 aside were not taken off by others, but taken off by themselves!
Although the money on his body, including weapons, was scattered everywhere, there was no shortage of it!
This means that these people have not encountered any enemies at all! Everything was done willingly by them!
This scene at that time had a huge 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 burn them all with a fire, just 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. It wasn't until a long time later that this situation disappeared.
As a result, Xiao Han's mention today immediately aroused Liu Hongji's thoughts, 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 say that he is a playful god who lives in the world, but he is not 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, worshiped Buddha, and consulted Taoist priests! Even as a vegetarian, I ate it for more than half a year! My face almost turned green! I 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 the areas you are not good at in the future. 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, "That's what you said! Tell me quickly, why are those people naked, and why are they wearing such weird smiles on their faces?"
"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 rode 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.
So 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 exhaustion of physical strength, so it will disappear quickly! By then, those who have no strength will be frozen directly, and the smile on their faces will be retained because of this!
Well, that's it, you can take the knife away! Even if it doesn’t hurt me, it’s not good to hurt the flowers and plants..."
