I survived by my sense of smell

"Tonight, Tian Sicheng will come to find us"

Liang An was surprised: "How do you know?"

Zou Bai spread out his palm, and there was a note lying there.When he just went out, Tian Sicheng seemed to have something to say to them, but because of Tian's mother, he never had a chance to say it, so when he sent them out, he found a chance to stuff a note into his hand.

Open it and take a look: "I'm going to your house tonight, I have something to tell you."

At seven o'clock in the evening, Tian Sicheng finally came.

Tian Sicheng looked a little nervous, and when he spoke, everyone was shocked: "Actually, my brother usually lives at home."

Liang An frowned: "How do you know?"

Tian Sicheng hugged his head: "I can still see him when I was a child. It is the basketball I showed you. He often plays basketball at home at night. At first, my parents thought it was me. Every time my father scolded me, he would play basketball at home." The basketball is playing harder and it's like having fun."

"Now, how do you know he's still at home?"

"Because since his body was found, he has come to me every night, often in the bathroom and occasionally in the room"

Zou Bai noticed that when he said this, his hands were shaking all the time, as if he had seen something horrific, and he continued to ask, "Did he do anything to you?"

Tian Sicheng's eyes were full of fear: "He wants to kill me, he wants to kill me every day when he comes back, you see."

He stretched out his hand, and there were two pink scars on his wrist, like two thick centipedes.

Liang An took a look. The two scars hadn't healed yet. It should be that the wounds had just healed, and then they were torn apart.

"I tied it myself. He lured me to commit suicide every night. Once in the bathtub. If my mother didn't come in, I would have drowned. Another time was on the roof. Someone called me and I woke up. Only then did I find out that it was on the top of the building, and then I got scared, and tied myself to the bed every time I slept, so that no matter what I did, it would be impossible for me to commit suicide.” Tian Sicheng stroked the scar, as if feeling uncomfortable. To the pain: "I always knew I had a brother, and I missed him very much, but why did he do this to me?"

"Do you hate him?" Zou Bai asked.

Tian Sicheng was at a loss at first, then showed confusion on his face, but finally shook his head: "He was only eight years old when he left, so he probably doesn't know much about anything. I don't blame him."

Zou Bai's heart was touched, maybe this is the family, no matter what mistakes you make, only they can always forgive you unconditionally and give you a chance.

Because it was getting late, Liang An offered to send Tian Sicheng back.

Zou Bai thought about it carefully, one of the important reasons why Tian Siqi wanted to kill Tian Sicheng was just one, jealousy.On the day of his death, he happened to be scolded by Tian's father, and his younger brother, who was born to be the pride of heaven, was better than him in every way, so he naturally felt uncomfortable.But how much generosity can you expect from a child who is only eight years old, besides, he lost his life because of this incident.

To untie the bell, the person who tied the bell must be handed over to Father Tian. However, there are two important issues. One is how to make Father Tian trust them. According to Father Tian's current attitude, it seems very difficult. The second is, how did he get him to come out to see Father Tian? After all these years, he was still suffocating.

Zou Bai felt a little bored. He stood by the window and looked down. A group of old people were standing on the basketball court and dancing square dance. On the other half of the basketball court, there were a few young people playing basketball. A drowning child, he really thinks it is peaceful.

Wait, drowning kid?

The fountain is not opened several times throughout the year. I don’t know when it opened. A child fell into the fountain. He kept trying to stand up, but because of the pressure of the water, he never succeeded.Water kept pouring into his mouth. Gradually, the frequency of his struggles decreased, and the people around him seemed to be unable to see or hear. The pale and terrified face of the child was in stark contrast to the happy expressions of other people in the square.

Zou Bai opened the window and shouted down, "Help someone, there are children in the fountain, help someone!"

But no matter how he yelled, the people below didn't seem to respond. They all had smiles on their faces. Seeing that the child was about to stop moving, he opened the door and rushed downstairs.

As soon as I went downstairs, all the street lights went out, and the whole community instantly became a dead city.

He suddenly realized that it was already ten o'clock in the evening, and there were three square dancers and basketball players at eight o'clock. Besides, it was pitch black below, so how did he see so many people just now?

"Plop!" The fountain sounded, and it seemed that someone was struggling inside. Zou Bai remembered that pale face. He subconsciously touched his phone to turn on the flashlight, but his pocket was empty, so he forgot to take it down.

"Help!" The childish voice of the child sounded in the empty square.

Zou Bai gritted his teeth and walked forward in the dark. Slowly, his foot finally reached the fountain pool, water splashed on him, stepped into the pool, and touched a small hand.He was overjoyed, leaned over and picked up the child, and comforted him, "It's okay, it's okay."

The child in his arms was stunned for a moment, and then struggled to jump down. Zou Bai was slipped and fell heavily into the pool.The water was clearly only up to his ankles, but he couldn't stand up anyway. The cold and smelly water was poured into his mouth, the air in his lungs was slowly evacuated, and his consciousness gradually became blurred...

His throat hurt so much, Zou Bai leaned on the edge of the pool and vomited out the water in his stomach. As soon as he picked up the child, he knew it was Tian Siqi, but he still chose to save him.

Who wants to be abandoned?

Just now he thought he was really going to die, but he didn't expect Tian Siqi to let him go.

Tian Siqi was walked away by the collar for a long time. He struggled desperately, but the hands of the person in front were like iron hoops. No matter how much he moved and struggled, the pressure on his neck did not relax for a moment. Obviously this person was younger than him, But I don't know how it is so powerful.

He was a little scared suddenly, timidly: "Can you let me go, my neck hurts a little."

Jiang Bie's eyes were dark, he pinched Tian Siqi's neck: "You almost killed him."

Tian Siqi hadn't felt this suffocation for a long time, and this was the first time he felt scared since his death.

Jiang Bie put a hand into his eyes: "This is the price you paid for hurting him."

"I know, I know"

"Do your own thing well, and you will die if he dies"

Tian Siqi covered his eyes, there was a piercing pain there, he nodded hastily, he believed that if he uttered the word no, he would be killed immediately.Looking at the distant background, fear came to him one after another. When this person grabbed him just now, he couldn't move at all, like fish on a chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.

After he felt better, Zou Bai struggled upstairs. After taking a shower, Liang An also came back. Seeing him lying on the sofa with no strength, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Zou Bai shook his head: "It's okay, I'm a little hungry."

Liang An entered the kitchen, and after a while, he came out with a bowl of oily noodles, sprinkled with green onions on top of the noodles, which made people's index fingers twitch.

This night, everything was peaceful, but in the middle of the night, Zou Bai still crawled into Liang An's bed without any future.

Early the next morning, Liang An clutched his neck: "Why does my neck seem to be twisted?"

"...It should be a stiff neck."

The phone rang, Zou Bai connected, it was a woman's voice:

"Xiaoping, go back to my hometown for dinner tonight"

Zou Bai reacted: "Okay, send me the address."

"I sent you WeChat, we will wait for you to go home for dinner at noon"

"Can I bring a friend over?"

"Okay, hurry up and bring some"

The address is about half an hour away from here by bus. In the outskirts of the city, follow the navigation. After reaching a small bungalow, the navigation ends. I really don't know which one it is. I dialed the previous phone number, but it is busy.

A middle-aged man leaning on a hoe passed by the side of the road, Liang An stopped him and asked, "Do you know where the Qian family is?"

Seeing Zou Bai, the middle-aged man excitedly said, "Isn't this Qianping? What are you doing now?"

Zou Bai smiled and said, "Still studying."

Middle-aged man: "Why are you so stupid to study now, and you don't know how to say hello to the teacher when you see it?"

Zou Bai scratched his head: "Hello, teacher!"

The middle-aged man put down the hoe on his shoulder, and it seemed that he was going to have a long chat: "I heard that Tian Siqi's body was found? Back then, I knew that the child was in danger. Hey, I just didn't expect it to be in the reservoir."

At this moment, a woman in a purple dress came out from the third house in front, and beckoned, "Xiaoping, I'm waiting for you to eat, yo, isn't this Mr. Chen? Have you eaten yet? Let's have another bite."

Teacher Chen: "I've eaten, you go back and eat."

Zou Bai wanted to ask, what did he mean when he said earlier that he knew the dangers and fortunes, but Teacher Chen had already gone far away, and besides, he couldn't explain clearly after such a short time.

The woman is Qian Ping's aunt, and today is Grandpa Qian's birthday, so he was asked to come back for dinner. Zou Bai introduced Liang An to everyone, and then asked Aunt Qian: "What grade did that teacher Chen teach me just now?"

"second grade"

It happened to be the year Tian Siqi drowned.

Grandpa Qian: "I remember Teacher Chen. At that time, a child in your class disappeared. The teacher helped him find it for a long time. That night you also stayed up all night, lying on the bed shaking, and I asked you what's wrong."

Liang An whispered, "Why is Qianping unable to sleep and trembling?"

This is indeed very strange, it seems that this matter does have a major relationship with Qianping.

After eating, the two went to find Teacher Chen. Teacher Chen was enjoying the shade at the door. When he saw the two people coming, he quickly asked them to sit down: "Sit down."

Zou Bai: "Mr. Chen, I want to ask about Tian Siqi. Why did you say that you knew that something bad happened to him long ago?"

Teacher Chen had a guilty face on his face: "He disappeared during the noon break. I asked the guard back then, and said that he saw you, Yao Chu, and him trying to sneak out, but he didn't succeed and was driven back by him."

"Are you suspicious that we ran out at that time?"

Teacher Chen nodded: "Well, it's not that I doubt you, I always feel that you should know something about the child's death."

Yao Chu had already been tricked into the cave by Tian Siqi and killed.
