To be exact, the body was discovered by Wangwang.

The third peak of Wudai Mountain is neither the highest nor the most dangerous peak, but it is the peak with the most peculiar terrain.

This is because most of them are century-old trees that block out the sun, with their crowns standing tall and proud. People walking at the foot of the trees cannot see the sky when they look up.

The afternoon sun was so scorching, but walking in the forest was very cool and not hot at all.

Yu Hongdou had been here twice before, and one of the times she came here while unconscious, so she didn’t dare to be careless and just followed her brother closely and walked slowly.

“How come this forest is over a hundred years old?” Tan Yanlin sighed as he casually took a picture of a tree that was so thick that two people could hug it when he passed by.

“Yes, according to the county annals, when the former Emperor Tianqi ascended the throne, he cut down a hundred trees here for repair purposes.”

“The locals were so proud that, in order to ensure that their descendants would not be deprived of such an honor, the logging team cut down 100 trees and then replanted 300 trees overnight.”

Yu Song talked freely, saying that he and his father knew the county annals by heart.

“They are thinking about their children and grandchildren and want them to live long and worry-free lives. They are truly a group of wise people.” Mo Shougui nodded in praise.

Tan Yanlin agreed with him and was about to say something in agreement when he suddenly saw Wangwang, who had been lazily following Yu Hongdou, rushing to the crowd like an arrow, blocking them from view, and barking wildly at a tree as thick as a bucket.

“Wangwang! What’s wrong with Wangwang?” Yu Hongdou had never seen Wangwang so excited.

She was so scared that she went forward and held Wangwang down. She gave it a quick check and only breathed a sigh of relief when she found that it had not been bitten by a snake and did not look like it was poisoned.

“There seems to be something up there.” Tan Langxiu walked up to Wangwang, squatted down, and looked at the treetops above his head from Wangwang’s perspective.

The tree is growing very strong, with crisscrossing branches of varying thickness and dense foliage. In this green canopy, a hint of red can be seen, appearing and disappearing in the gentle breeze.

Tan Langxiu borrowed a slingshot from Yu Hongdou and did not use her precious iron marbles. He picked up a small stone on the ground, aimed at the red spot, and hit it with a “bang”.

The red object swayed with greater force, revealing more of its features from among the criss-crossing tree trunks, which frightened the people staring at the tree below and made them gasp.

The swaying red color turned out to be a pair of bright red shoes.

Yu Hongdou was very frightened.

In Chinese horror, the color red occupies a very large proportion. She was once so scared by a certain game that she couldn’t sleep well for more than a month.

Especially the bride who hanged herself in a pair of red embroidered shoes in the game, Yu Hongdou would like to call it the nightmare light of the Chinese people.

Now, in broad daylight, such a pair of shoes suddenly appeared high up in the deep mountains and old forests, making Yu Hongdou instantly dream back to the story of the pair of red embroidered shoes.

“I’ll go up and take a look.” Tan Langxu frowned, lifted up his skirt, and quickly climbed up the tree trunk.

The monkey was on the tree trunk, and he pulled with his long arms and exerted force with his legs, and with a “swoosh” he moved up a bit higher.

Yu Hongdou was afraid, but couldn’t help watching. She felt distressed and couldn’t help clenching her fists tightly.

“Don’t be afraid, Brother Nine is the best tree climber among us brothers.” Tan Yanlin glanced at him and patted Yu Hongdou on the shoulder. “You all know how to climb trees? Are you still competing?” Yu Hongdou forced herself to divert her attention to what Tan Yanlin said.

“Sons in our family have to practice with the soldiers every year when they turn ten. The content of the practice varies, and tree climbing is just one of them.” Tan Yanlin said in a light tone, but his expression was a little subtle.

“? The boss is the boss~” Yu Hongdou’s mind immediately flashed the scenes in the high-ranking official’s novel where the hero, a soldier, carried logs off-road and climbed over the suspension bridge net.

“Boss?” Tan Yanlin frowned. Although he could guess that this was a compliment, he couldn’t be sure which two words it was or where they came from.

“Oh… nothing. I heard from my teacher that this is what the powerful bosses in the southern coastal areas are called.” Yu Hongdou effortlessly passed the blame to the teacher who was far away.

Tan Yanlin did not ask any more questions. Anyway, he was about to leave for the coast and would know the outcome when the time came.

Within just two sentences, Tan Langxiu had climbed to the same height as the pair of red embroidered shoes.

“It’s a hanged ghost, but he was murdered.” Tan Langxu sat upright on a tree trunk, facing the corpse hanging in front of him, and shouted calmly to the people below.

Tan Yanlin asked Yu Hongdou to step back two steps, picked up a stone, and asked his men to bring a rope. He tied the stone with the rope, circled it above his head twice, and threw it towards Tan Langxiu on the tree.

Tan Langxu tried to fish for the moon from the bottom of the sea and just caught the stone thrown by his brother. Then he used the rope to move the still hanging person down from the tree.

“Teacher, I heard that after a period of time, the neck and head of a hanged ghost will be separated by gravity, and the body will naturally fall down. Do you think this is true?” Yu Hongdou didn’t dare to look again after taking a look. She was afraid that she could not help herself, so she turned around and caused trouble for her teacher.

Mo Shouguizheng was concentrating on staring at the figure on the tree. He was stunned for a moment by being interrupted by his apprentice. It took him a while to regain his senses.

“This can’t be considered a routine. It may be due to a large weight ratio, or external forces such as strong winds, vibrations, etc., which may cause the situation you described.” Mo Shougui gave a serious answer, and then asked back along the lines of his apprentice.

“Then let me test you. If a person hangs himself and dies for 180 days, and weighs 4 kilograms, and the height of the hanged body is meters, how many days will it take for his head and body to separate due to gravity?”

As soon as Mo Shougui asked this question, Tan Yanlin, who had only half of his attention on this side, was completely controlled, not to mention Hongdou.

Yu Hongdou held her head and thought hard. She looked up inadvertently and saw a slightly plump body being lowered from the tree. She gasped.

Before the cold air entered her lungs, she saw a green beam of light at the chest of the body. The air rushed into her lungs, and Yu Hongdou finally couldn’t help coughing.

“Cough cough cough~” Yu Hongdou didn’t know whether to cover her chest or her mouth. In the end, she had to squat down, cover her face and cough hard.

Qian Sanmei stepped forward and patted her young lady on the back, then took out a water bag and gave her some water to drink. After a while of hard work, she finally stopped Yu Hongdou’s cough.

Yu Hongdou rushed to the body that had just fallen to the ground, staring intently at the words on the green beam of light:

[Sign-in location, the mistress of the owner of Zongheng Escort Agency, do you want to spend 3 points to sign in? ]

In front was the son, and now it’s the mother. The mother and son tricked Wu Xingyun, but in the end they didn’t end up well either.

So what is the reason behind this? (End of this chapter)
