I survived by my sense of smell

A blond doll got up from the ground.

Liang Anwen asked, "Who are you? How did you get here?"

The doll looked at him curiously: "I'm Ruth, I fell from the ceiling."

Hearing that it wasn't the one from yesterday, Zou Bai and the others also stuck their heads out again.

"Why are you on the ceiling?" Liang An looked up at the ceiling, where a board was loose, revealing a hole.

It seems that she slipped and fell from there.

"I don't know either," Ruth showed a puzzled expression, "Anyway, I was on the top when I woke up, but I accidentally stepped on the air and fell down."

Did it appear out of thin air for no reason, or was it airdropped by someone with a heart, or was it simply a lie?

Liang An couldn't help but have doubts in his eyes, and the rabbit was furious: "I swear, I really don't know how I got into that house."

Zou Bai also felt that with such a unified voice, the possibility of deception was not very high, and even if it was a scam, the other party would not be able to know exactly what they would look like when they entered the cave, let alone control their whereabouts.

He hurriedly pulled Liang An, and said to Ruth, "You go up first, it's really not safe to go down."

Ruth climbed up obediently and sat between the rabbit and the puppy. After hearing about the current situation, she was a little calmer than the two rabbits.

Zou Bai was curious: "What's wrong? Do you have any ideas, or suggestions?"

"Since you said the first two are fairy tales, I think this one should be too, but," she thought for a while, and continued, "I really don't have any specific ideas about the fairy tales about skin diseases right now."

"It doesn't have to be a skin disease, and it's related to the skin."

As for the skin, Zou Bai thought of something: "Actually, I think Snow White counts. If you think of other things, you can also bring them up. According to yesterday's clues, the protagonist is more likely to be a woman."

As a man who doesn't read fairy tales very much, these are already unfamiliar fields, and Liang An and the others really couldn't think of anything else for a while.

Ruth said, "Princess and the Pea also counts."

As for whether it is Princess and Pea or Snow White, this needs to be investigated.

Because of Ruth's arrival, they woke up a little earlier than usual, not yet six o'clock in the afternoon, but they really couldn't fall asleep if they went back to sleep.Liang An suggested that after it gets darker, they split up, one group investigates in the hotel, and the other group visits the surrounding factories.

Before leaving, he told everyone to remember the characteristics of these two stories, one is Bai and the stepmother, and the other is tenderness and truth.

At the same time, for the sake of safety and selfishness, he and Zou Bai teamed up to inquire outside, and the three of Rabbit stayed in the hotel. First, the hotel is relatively small and it is easier to inquire about it. Second, the female ghost is now focusing on the man. body, unable to make things difficult for them.

Rabbit was a little reluctant, and when he left, his eyes were full of tears: "Why do I feel that leaving you is so uncertain?"

"Why do I look down on you, a big man is crying." Ruth rolled her eyes, and then walked away with the rabbit's scruff.

Zou Bai: Why does this American princess have such a bad taste?In the end is domestic, or sandwich.

It's just getting dark, and although there are few people here, it's not impossible to be exposed, so there's nothing wrong with being vigilant.

The living facilities around this hotel are quite complete, but due to the pollution of the factory and the safety awareness of the residents here, the factory is not allowed to be built here, but in a place farther away.

Zou Bai touched his short cucumber legs, he was sure that he would not be able to walk until dawn.

They first strolled around the surrounding residential areas and shops, and found nothing in peace.It wasn't until we almost ruled out here that we set off for the station.

On the way to the station, I passed a small shop. There was a little girl sitting at the door of the small shop. She looked about three or four years old. She was wearing a very ill-fitting autumn clothes and she was terribly dirty.

The reason why they stopped was because the girl was beaten, one eye was bruised, one cheek was swollen high, and a big palm print appeared on it, presumably she was slapped heavily.

They weren't sure if the girl was domestically abused, or had a vicious stepmother?After all, what is connected is the clue.

They hid by the wall and watched quietly, and soon a woman with high cheekbones came out, pulled the little girl twice, clamped it directly around her waist, and took it home.

The girl wanted to cry loudly, but the woman covered her mouth, and she didn't let her make a sound.

When they entered, the girl was taking a bath, and the sound of the girl's suppressed sobbing came from the bathroom.

Zou Bai felt a little hopeful: "It seems a bit standard for a vicious stepmother, domestic violence, and you are not allowed to speak out after the violence is over."

"Look again." Liang An stood on tiptoe and looked on the bed.

There are two pillows on the bed, and next to this bed is a small bed.It seems that there should be more than the mother and daughter in this family, there should be a father.

The girl was much cleaner after taking a shower, wearing a small vest, and was carried out of the bathroom by the woman and placed on the small bed.

The woman covered her with the quilt: "Qiqi is good, go to bed early."

Hearing this, the girl closed her eyes tightly, but her body was shaking all the time, obviously she was afraid of something, but the woman had already turned around and left, after all, the shop was still open and she couldn't leave without people.

Zou Bai and Liang An have already moved to other places, but the situation here is still clearly visible.

Zou Bai asked: "It's not like a stepmother. A vicious stepmother won't take a gentle bath and then hug her out, let alone coax her to sleep."

"Where's the girl's father?" Liang An checked the time, it was almost nine o'clock, and he hadn't seen the girl's father so late.

Zou Bai looked at the clothes in the closet and replied, "Maybe you're still on the night shift?"

There is a work uniform of a soy sauce factory with Sunshine Soy Sauce printed on the back.

After 10 minutes, the girl's mother came in again through the door curtain. Seeing that the girl was still open, she was a little angry: "Didn't Mom tell you to go to bed early? Why are you still playing with your eyes open?"

The girl pursed her mouth aggrievedly, but her voice was still very soft: "Mom, I'm afraid."

"Uncle didn't mean anything malicious, and Dad didn't do it on purpose." The woman patted the girl on the back distressedly, "Don't blame Dad, okay? Dad needs this job, and he can't afford candy if he loses Kiki. See you next time." When you see uncle, Qiqi will go out to play, don't come home, okay?"

Today I really scared the child. Seeing the child being beaten like this, it would be a lie to say that I don't feel distressed.

The girl nodded with tears in her eyes: "Uncle looks so scary..."

The woman's complexion changed, and she hurriedly covered the girl's mouth: "Why did mom tell you, don't talk about uncle."

uncle?Uncle's looks scary?

Zou Bai: "Go to the Sunshine Soy Sauce Factory first."

After all, it can be regarded as the first clue, and the two rushed to the station without stopping.

Factories often work in several shifts. In order to make it easier for migrant workers to commute to and from get off work, the government has set up a late-night bus. There will be a bus at about two o'clock.Other hours are from 06:30 am to 09:30 pm.

When they arrived at the station, they checked the time, and it was already twenty past nine, just in time to take the last train.

Coincidentally, not long after they arrived, an old-fashioned bus staggered past. Fortunately, there was a male student in school uniform waiting on the platform besides them, otherwise the driver might have just skipped them and stopped. .

While the student was not paying attention, they grabbed the corner of his clothes and got into his schoolbag.

There were very few people in the car, except for the driver and them, there was only a young woman in a blue overalls and a middle-aged old man with a big belly carrying a purse.

After all, it was night, and everyone in the car seemed to be in low spirits. The woman sat at the front with her arms folded and was asleep, and the middle-aged man sat in the middle. From the light of the mobile phone reflected on the glass, it can be roughly judged that he should be in the car. watch the video.

The student looked a little absent-minded, and kept swiping with his mobile phone as soon as he got in the car. Zou Bai found that he was only swiping on the desktop, and he hadn't clicked on any app.

The mobile phone beeped suddenly, and the woman in the front was woken up, obviously a little dissatisfied, she stared at it and went back to sleep.

The student blushed, quickly pressed the volume button on the side of the phone, a green box appeared on the screen, and quickly reduced to zero.I can feel that the student breathed a sigh of relief, and then clicked into the message, which was sent by WeChat, with the name in two red circles and a clown's head hanging on it.

OO: 【Come here yet?I have been waiting for you for a long time]

The student's fingers typed quickly on the screen: [Get on the bus, arrive in half an hour]

OO: [When you arrive, wait at the station, we will pick you up]

After the student responded with "um", there was no movement on the other side.

It seems that it may be a group of students, probably planned to go there at night, but this one is probably delayed by something, so he is only leaving now.

The factories are probably all in one place, and the area they pass is much more desolate than when they came, and only one or two houses can be seen occasionally, so there are not many stations set up within the three to 10-minute drive, only five.Just passed one, and when the next one was approaching, the driver turned on the getting on and off reminder in advance, and Zou Bai leaned his little head against the window.

A faint fishy smell came.

He raised his head and looked towards the platform, where there was an old lady with a basket on her shoulders, and the old lady waved.The driver acted like he didn't see it, kicked the accelerator and left the old lady behind.

On the next platform, the fishy smell intensified.

It was the same old lady, still holding the basket, waving in this direction, but the driver just drove away without stopping, as if he hadn't seen it.

"Driver, there is an old man waving below, why don't you let her come up?" The middle-aged man didn't know when he took his eyes away from the phone screen.

The driver looked puzzled: "What old lady, there is obviously no one on the platform, did you read it wrong?"

The author has something to say: embarrassing, I was supposed to update it later, I really don’t have time, I’m sorry to let everyone dove, I have a chance to make it up.
