"Okay, you've done a good job." Xia Qingshu praised without hesitation. If this matter spreads in the military camp, many troubles will arise and no one else will know about it. It would be great to save her trouble.

After a pause, Xia Qingshu cleared her throat and said earnestly, "This matter may be a trick of the Tartars to shake the morale of our army. Liu Yan and I will conduct a thorough investigation in private. Bring it up. If it is rumored, it will be dealt with by military law!"

Xiao Bing looked solemn, knelt down on one knee, cupped his fists and said, "Yes! This subordinate will definitely keep silent."

"Go down."

"Yes!"

After the soldier left, Liu Yan lowered the curtain of the tent, and called two subordinates to guard the door, not allowing others to enter.The atmosphere in the tent became extraordinarily dignified with the arrival of this bamboo leaf.

Xia Qingshu glanced at Ji Qianyao and Liu Yan's expressions from the corner of his eye, swallowed, raised his arm, and suddenly threw the bamboo leaf in his hand on the table, and said angrily: "These tartars are too hateful , unexpectedly came up with such a vicious trick!"

Ji Qianyao and Liu Yan raised their heads and stared at Xia Qingshu with indifference.

Xia Qingshu's scalp became numb from the stare of these two pairs of eyes, and he picked up the bamboo leaves on the table and held them in his hands, smiling awkwardly: "I take back what I said just now, I just want...to adjust the atmosphere .”

The Tartar trick can only be used to deceive unsuspecting soldiers.When the three people in the camp saw this bamboo leaf, they couldn't help thinking of the Tree Coffin Man.

It's just that it appeared so inexplicably, what kind of clues would it bring to them?

"Liuyan, go and invite Doctor Jiang." Ji Qianyao suddenly said.When Xia Qingshu was not in the barracks, Jiang Xueqin had always dealt with the matter of the coffin man, and she definitely knew more about it than the three of them.If you find her, you should get a lot of help.

"Yes." Liu Yan hurried away.

Only Xia Qingshu and Ji Qianyao were left in the tent. Xia Qingshu put down the bamboo leaves, frowned, and walked around the tent with his hands behind his back.

Ji Qianyao picked it up, and wrote along the hollow strokes on the bamboo leaves with his hands: "Do you recognize this handwriting?"

Xia Qingshu was also recalling that the person who would save her should be someone she knew. If the two had never met before and had an irreconcilable relationship, why did the mysterious person save her?

After searching for a while, all the memories in her mind were opened. Xia Qingshu screened them one by one, but still couldn't find a suitable candidate. She said distressedly: "The characteristics of this handwriting are very obvious, but I have never seen it before. If it were me An old friend, she should also leave a name."

A piece of bamboo leaf with three lines of characters is placed alone, and the useful information conveyed is very little, it can be said to be pitifully small.First of all, someone wanted to kill Xia Qingshu. They already knew about this, so they didn't need to be reminded.

The second is the sentence "Only I can save you". These six words can trigger many thoughts, but none of these thoughts have answers.For example: Who is this "I"? What is the way to "save you"?

The camp fell into silent contemplation again.

After half a stick of incense, Jiang Xueqin arrived, and Liuyan had already talked to her briefly on the road, and she got the general idea: "Let me see the bamboo leaves."

"Here." Ji Qianyao pointed to the square table in front of him.

Jiang Xueqin carefully looked at the bamboo leaves themselves. The bamboo leaves were thin, with a tapered apex and a round base. The upper surface was hairless, the lower surface was finely pubescent, and the edge of the leaf was rough. She could conclude: "This is the leaf of the big-leaved green bamboo. "

"Is there something different about the leaves themselves?" Xia Qingshu asked.

"Yes." Jiang Xueqin nodded: "It's been two hours since this leaf was picked from the branch, but the leaf hasn't lost water, hasn't curled up, and it's still as bright green and straight as it grew on a tree. It's the first unusual place."

"What about the second?" Ji Qianyao asked.

"The second one is the characters." Jiang Xueqin stood up the bamboo leaf, pointed to the edge of the hollowed-out handwriting and said, "Look, the edges of these characters are smooth without any juice, obviously they were not carved out with a knife blade temporarily."

After hearing this, Xia Qingshu raised a possibility: "Could it be some kind of corrosive thing? It was written on the leaf, and the middle was corroded."

Jiang Xueqin disagreed: "Plants are fragile. If it is corrosive, the edges of the writing must be black, but this is not. I think these words are grown by myself."

"How is it possible? How could the bamboo leaf write characters by itself?" Liu Yan was full of surprise.

Jiang Xueqin looked at Liuyan and smiled helplessly: "There is nothing impossible about the tree coffin man."

Ji Qianyao agrees with Jiang Xueqin: "I agree with what Dr. Jiang said, but the mystery we urgently need to solve now is, who is the person who wrote the letter? Doctor Jiang, do you have any opinion on this?"

Jiang Xueqin said slowly: "This bamboo leaf is not an ordinary bamboo leaf, and I think the person who wrote this letter is not an ordinary person."

"Demon?" Xia Qingshu spit out a word lightly from his mouth.

"I can only be so suspicious, I can't be sure." Jiang Xueqin picked up the bamboo leaf and pointed it at the light: "If you want to find the mysterious person behind it, you must first solve the mystery of the bamboo leaf. There may be something strange on this bamboo leaf." If you want to explore its function, you must not use the thinking of ordinary people and things, you can use your imagination, it is boundless, and you can think about it.”
