I survived by my sense of smell

For the sake of safety, Liang An suggested not to separate at night, in case something happens, it will be too late.

At night, the two of them were tired all day, so they fell asleep quickly.

Zou Bai's forehead felt cold, and he slowly opened his eyes. There was a mass of moving flesh and blood on the ceiling, and the blood was dripping down. However, no matter how the blood dripped, it could drip on him accurately.

Gradually, the speed of that piece of flesh and blood slowed down, and then slowly crawled down along the wall.

Zou Bai quickly closed his eyes, the sound of flesh and blood crawling made people vomit, it was the sound of mucus squirming.Immediately afterwards, flesh and blood crawled onto his fingers, then onto his chest, and finally, onto his head.

Liang An, who was on the side, fell into a drowsy sleep, turned over and hit the lump of flesh and blood that was struggling to climb up. The flesh and blood were deeply sunken with a slap, and some inexplicable things splashed on Zou Bai's face.

Now Zou Bai really couldn't fall asleep, he grabbed the pillow towel on the bed and sat up, quickly wiped his face a few times.Bowing his head, the piece of flesh and blood was lying on his lap, with a face deeply embedded in it, and it was Tian Siqi with a smirk on his face: "Brother, the water is so cold."

“Cover more when it’s cold”

"..."

Zou Bai threw off his own quilt and plunged into Liang An's quilt.He couldn't stop sweating, the air was very quiet, and he didn't know if Tian Siqi had left, but for some reason, Liang An's even breathing seemed to have a magical power, and in this situation, he fell asleep slowly.But before going to bed, he quietly set an alarm clock at five o'clock to avoid having to explain to Liang An why he was in his quilt when he woke up the next morning. Thinking about that scene, his scalp tingled with embarrassment.

The next day was still dark, and after the alarm clock rang, Zou Bai cheekily picked up the quilt on the ground, and continued to sleep as if nothing had happened.

Liang An woke up and touched his waist: "Did you squeeze me in bed last night? Why is my waist sore?"

Zou Bai remembered the scene where he kicked Liang An's face with one foot and Liang An's waist with the other this morning, and laughed awkwardly: "Maybe you didn't sleep well at night?"

Liang An rubbed his head: "Really? But I sleep quite honestly."

"Don't worry about it, get ready and go out for breakfast, and try to get out of the cave today"

Zou Bai hurriedly got up and went to the bathroom, leaving Liang An sitting by the bed alone, clutching his waist and still wondering.

Downstairs there is a breakfast shop, it's Lanzhou ramen. Zou Bai loves coriander very much, so he specifically told the boss, who should be familiar with Qianping, and said with a smile, "What's the matter today? Don't you usually not like coriander? "

Zou Bai smiled and said, "Don't you want to try?"

The noodles were served, Liang An turned the noodles over, there seemed to be something shiny, he twisted it with his hands, it looked like shards of glass.Zou Bai looked at the bowl of noodles in surprise, then checked his own, it was clean.

Liang An's expression changed, he went to the boss to change a bowl, and then analyzed: "Did you find anything strange?"

Zou Bai nodded: "At first we thought he was going to kill us, but the noodles that were served just now had glass shards in them without coriander, and Qian Ping just doesn't eat coriander, so the person Tian Siqi wanted to kill was Qian Ping, That's who I am now."

Liang An: "But there is something even more strange. Tian Siqi was only seven or eight years old when he died. How could he have such a big hatred with Qianping?"

Zou Bai thought for a while: "This should be the key to our going out."

"Pay attention too, his main target is now on you"

Zou Bai nodded: "I know."

The two went to the reservoir first. After all, there are often unexpected clues at the scene of a crime. They met many people along the way, but one of them caught Zou Bai's attention. It was a boy holding a test paper. He seemed to have seen it somewhere.

The reservoir is the same as the outside, and it has been drained at this time. Perhaps the weather has been better recently, and the ground of the reservoir is not as humid as last time, but when people enter, they can still feel the temperature drop a lot, and a part of the arm exposed by the short sleeve Slightly cold, like a cool wind blowing over.

Zou Bai turned on the flashlight and carefully searched the walls and the ground. Liang An behind him also went in another direction.

It was very dark in the reservoir, and the flashlight couldn't reach his head at all. Zou Bai had to hold on to the wall and move step by step. He didn't know how long he had walked, but he suddenly remembered that he had been holding on to the wall and walking forward for more than 20 minutes at least. , it stands to reason that this reservoir is not so big, it should have come to an end long ago.

Looking at the endless darkness ahead, Zou Bai called out, "Liang An, are you there?"

Liang An's voice sounded quickly: "I'm here."

Zou Bai was relieved, and took a few steps forward, then stopped suddenly: "Liang An, let's eat Lanzhou ramen in the afternoon, don't you really like the parsley from that shop?"

Liang An's voice was very excited: "Okay."

The air seemed to be stagnant, and Zou Bai's back felt cold, because Liang An didn't eat coriander, he said that on purpose just now, but the voice just now didn't respond, which meant that the person who answered now was not Liang An.

Zou Bai turned around, smiled stiffly and said, "I've finished searching, there seems to be nothing here, let's go out."

The voice was behind him this time: "Really? But you don't seem to have come to an end yet."

Zou Bai quickened his pace, and said as he walked out: "It's almost there, I'm a little dizzy, I'll go out first and take it easy."

A cold breath hit his neck, he trembled all over, and continued to walk forward, a cold body came close to him, at the same time, a smell of dead fish and stinky shrimp came from behind.

A white hand pinched his neck: "The water is so cold, you should have accompanied me, how could you run away alone."

I don't know when, water began to pour in from all directions of the reservoir. Gradually, the water had submerged his calves. He wanted to move, but the hand on his neck held him tightly. No matter how he moved, he couldn't move. Can't get rid of it.

Slowly, the water level was getting higher and higher, and it had already submerged his nose, and he began to have difficulty breathing. The people behind laughed: "It's very cold here, but with you with me, it's fine if we squeeze together."

Zou Bai bit the tip of his tongue, a bloody smell permeated from his mouth, he turned his head, and sprayed it all over the man's face in one breath.

The moment he turned his head, he could see Tian Siqi's face clearly. The skin on his face was rotten to the bone, only a small amount of skin tissue was still hanging on it, and some densely packed aquatic animals were attached to it.

Zou Bai's stomach twitched for a while, and he forcibly held back and didn't spit it out.

Tian Siqi also let out a scream from behind, and Zou Bai fell heavily on the ground, fresh air poured into his nostrils again.

In an instant, all the water in the reservoir disappeared, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already outside the reservoir. Liang An was squatting beside him, anxiously calling his name.

Zou Bai coughed twice: "I was almost suffocated to death."

"What's the matter, I heard the voice and looked over to you, you've fallen unconscious on the ground, it scared me to death." Liang An unscrewed a bottle of water and handed it to him, Zou Bai shook his head and pushed it away, now he is asking him to drink water, He really can't drink it.

So Zou Bai explained what happened just now, which made Liang An feel scared for a while, you just follow me from now on, lest something like today happens again, and it's too late for me to rush there.

Zou Bai looked at the dark reservoir behind him, and the face covered with snails appeared at the mouth of the reservoir again. His feet went limp, and he staggered and almost fell down again. Liang An quickly caught his arm and looked back as well. nothing.

After walking 100 meters from the reservoir, Zou Bai felt relieved. As he walked, he thought about what happened in the reservoir just now. He felt that Tian Siqi had a very strange sentence. Didn't die?

After hearing his opinion, Liang An also felt that it was very reasonable: "Tian Siqi's death definitely has something to do with Qianping. Only when we understand the whole development process of that day, can we know how this matter has anything to do with Qianping."

Because they had been to Tian Siqi's house, the two found Tian Siqi's house with ease. This time, unfortunately, Tian's father was at home, so they were kicked out of the house amidst a burst of cursing.But Zou Bai noticed with sharp eyes that the boy he met on the street before was Tian Siqi's younger brother, no wonder he felt familiar, he had seen him last time on the family portrait of Tian Siqi's family.

When Tian Siqi was mentioned, he obviously reacted, as if he wanted to say something to them.

The two hid outside Tian's house. Seeing that Father Tian went out, he came to visit again. Because of Father Tian's attitude, Mother Tian was a little embarrassed, apologized repeatedly, and invited them to sit down.

Tian Siqi's younger brother hesitated for a moment, and sat down on the sofa as well.

Zou Bai looked at the boy and asked, "This is?"

Mother Tian introduced: "This is my second son, Tian Sicheng."

Zou Bai nodded, and then went straight to the point: "I believe you all know why we came here. It's about Tian Siqi. I've met him."

The boy's face was not very good-looking: "I have seen it too."

Mother Tian wanted to cry again: "Why doesn't this kid come to see me? He must be blaming the two of us for not buying him a basketball."

Liang An's heart skipped a beat: "Basketball? What basketball?"

The boy entered the room, and brought out a basketball with a crack. Mother Tian said: "Siqi likes basketball very much. He told us that he wanted to buy a basketball. His father was in a bad mood because of work. There was trouble at home, so I scolded him, and later, later..."

Tian's mother choked up and couldn't speak: "It's all my fault. If I persuade his father, the child will not be like this."

"That's it? Father Tian didn't say anything excessive? Is Tian Siqi usually a sensitive child?"

"No, his father just said that he would beat him if he made trouble again, and the child ran out. His father had a bad temper and usually scolded him a lot. Who knew that this time the child would be so upset"

Zou Bai couldn't understand, the reason for suicide was not sufficient, how could an eight-year-old child commit suicide because his parents didn't buy it for him, besides, Tian Siqi was not the kind of child who was psychologically sensitive and fragile.

The answer became more and more vague, and Zou Bai felt a headache.

Liang An comforted: "Don't think so much, anyway, the dead weapon has already appeared."

Zou Bai came back to his senses: "You mean the basketball?"

"Nine times out of ten, Tian Siqi wanted a basketball before he was alive. I just watched that basketball. I shouldn't be too young. It looks like it's been ten years."

The author has something to say: Liang An: "You kicked my waist!"

Zou Bai looked disdainful: "You have a bad waist, uncle?"

Liang An rubbed his hands, turned over and said, "Is my waist good, you can try it."
