Twenty years ago, a child “grew” out of a tree. Now an adult, he sets out to honor a mysterious city courier’s appointment. Carrying a blank letter, he becomes a courier himself and begins searching for the truth.
Wen Xiushu is the child who grew out of that tree.
City couriers deliver letters home as they travel between the north and south, crossing the country and encountering all kinds of people. Strange things are bound to happen along the way.
A roll of hair bought from a peddler who trades in black hair leads to a gruesome beheading. Two brothers who look remarkably alike have been at odds for years. When one dies unexpectedly, more trouble follows. A secret from the Wei family’s past, twenty years ago, is reenacted, and an organization called the Six Arts Society gradually emerges. The mystery of Wen Xiushu’s own origins seems close at hand, yet remains as elusive as a scene glimpsed through mist. In a mysterious prison, ghostly figures appear at midnight, and the next day a prisoner vanishes from his cell. The guards search every inch of the place but find no trace...
Through the fog, Wen Xiushu patiently pieces together the clues and uncovers the truth, one mystery at a time.
He once thought everything that had happened to him was just coincidence. He never imagined that all these events were connected by countless hidden threads, as if an invisible hand had been steadily pushing him toward a fate already decided.
The descriptions of situations and characters in this book are very good, and the plots are intertwined. It is worth reading.
The logic is not very clear, or the story is too slow to tell clearly. But the author's writing style is quite good!
The writing is smooth, and although the story is not very exciting at the moment, it can still be read.
Although there are pitfalls, the logic is tight and very exciting.
The writing is pretty good. The city patrol horse, who is today's postman, actually plays the role of a detective throughout the book, which is awesome.
It's good to read. I like reading novels like this the most.
The plot has ups and downs, I love it so much
Waiting for the follow-up, the writing style looks like the Republic of China, is it a Yan calligraphy or an old book?
Is there any follow-up?
Very detailed description, every link is closely linked,
