I survived by my sense of smell

Zou Bai saw that he had been absent-minded: "Still thinking about Chen Zhong?"

They really didn't expect the ending of this matter, Chen Zhong would have died a long time ago, and it was his father who occupied his body.

Thinking of the ghost altar he saw at Chen Zhong's house that time, Liang An shuddered from the bottom of his heart, not because he was afraid of ghosts, but because he remembered that Chen Zhong had always been another person in his body.

But there is one thing he is very fortunate and sad about, Chen Zhong is still the same Chen Zhong, not the one who addicted to gambling and drug trafficking.

Walking to the thatched cottage again, Zou Bai was surprised to find that there were traces of people coming here, and it seemed that there were quite a few people.But judging from the footprints, it couldn't be Jiang Bie, because those on the ground belonged to adults.

Zou Bai became worried: "Is something really wrong?"

Although he kept saying that nothing would happen to the child, seeing this situation, Liang An also began to doubt his own guess: The strange child could not really be taken away, right? "

He remembered one thing: "Can you smell Jiangbie here?"

"Do you think I'm a dog's nose?" Zou Bai said helplessly, "My sense of smell is at best better than yours. I can smell strong smells, but I can't smell them."

That's what he said, but Zou Bai really sniffed it hard.

There was no suspense in the result, of course he didn't ask anything, but from the many smells, he smelled a smell of water, moist and fresh.

"Go and see"

Since they came here, they really haven't seen water, but Zou Bai said that the smell is not far from here, so Liang An suggested to go and have a look.

Following the smell, the two walked for two hours.

The scenery in front of me began to change. Although it was still dominated by black and red, the plants here were obviously taken care of. The flowers on the ground were all brought from outside, such as roses, chrysanthemums, orchids...

Blood-red flowers covered the entire meadow.

A small pavilion was built in the middle of the grass, and there was a tea tray in the pavilion. The tea inside was still hot, and the heat was slowly rising.

Through the flowers, there is a waterfall, and there is a small stream under the waterfall, which winds to the end.A house was built next to the creek. After entering, Zou Bai was surprised to find that there were pigpens and chicken coops here, which were exactly the same as the small houses of the ancient people on TV.

It may not be a big deal outside, but in the cave world, this is already the most beautiful scenery they have seen.

Zou Bai couldn't help sighing: "I don't know who lives here, I really want to meet, remembering that we just narrowly escaped death, this place is really like a paradise."

Liang An looked at the stream: "Look for it, I think it's very likely that the kid lives here."

I searched around the house and around the creek and flowers, but I didn't see a single person.

Looking at the waterfall, Liang An suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his shoulder. He pointed to the waterfall and said, "Go and see there."

Not knowing where the feeling came from, he suddenly felt that there was something in the waterfall.

Zou Bai was afraid that his shoulder injury would recur again, so he said worriedly, "Don't go in, I'll just go in."

The closer he got to the waterfall, Liang An felt the pain in the wound became more serious. He shook his head: "It's okay."

Zou Bai was worried at first and didn't know how to get into the waterfall, but he searched around and found a hidden path at the foot of a mountain.

Facing the waterfall above their heads, they rushed in quickly, but no matter how fast they were, their bodies would still get wet, and Liang An's wound was even split by the water.

The blood mixed with water and flowed into the creek.

Zou Bai covered his wound, then tore off the fabric from the hem of the t-shirt, and bandaged the wound for him. He was a little puzzled. It was clear that he was almost healed there before, but why did it get worse when he came out? "

Liang An's eyebrows twitched in pain from the wound, he shook his head: "It's okay, let's go in and have a look."

It was dark inside the waterfall, but fortunately they still had their mobile phones in their pockets. They turned on the flashlights and walked in. After walking for less than 10 minutes, there was light in the distance.

The pain in Liang An's shoulder had already spread to his lower limbs. He felt ringing in his ears. His feet went limp, and he fell straight to the ground.

"No, you can't go any further." Seeing that he still wanted to go forward, Zou Bai's anger surged up, "You wait here, I'll go and see"

No matter whether he objected or not after speaking, he ran towards the light.

Running to a closer look, the light turned out to be coming from the wall. Beads were inlaid on the wall one after another, illuminating the cave as if it were daytime. Zou Bai approached and looked at the beads. The beads were round and round. Uniform size.

"Ye Mingzhu?" He guessed, after all, he has only seen this thing on TV, and no one has seen it in real life.

He continued to walk deep, and he didn't stop until he saw a cold pool, because Jiang Bie was sitting on the edge of the cold pool.

"Zou Bai," Jiang Bie looked a little aggrieved, and explained, "I haven't seen you for a long time, but I have something to leave."

Zou Bai didn't intend to blame him at first, but he was relieved to see that he was safe, and said with a smile, "Have you been here these days? Have you eaten?"

Jiang Bie shook his head: "I didn't eat, but I don't need to eat."

It was only when he approached the cold pool that he realized how low the temperature inside was. Almost at the moment of approaching, his teeth started to fight.

He felt that the breath he exhaled could freeze: "Why is it so cold here, why are you hiding here?"

"I want to protect the things in the pool," Jiang Bie said.

Zou Bai looked into the pool, and there was a person lying there, a man, wearing a white and black robe, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes.

The man didn't look like this age, he asked, "Who is this?"

Jiang Bie looked at him curiously: "Don't you know him? This is Yuetian, Xu Yuetian, my favorite person."

"Yuetian?" Zou Bai repeated a few words, and then remembered that Liang An had also mentioned this name before.

Looking at Jiang Bie's soft face, he couldn't help but ask, "How long have you been guarding here?"

Jiang Bie counted with his fingers: "It's almost 1000 years, but someone told me that he will come back to life, so I have to take good care of him."

The people in the cold pool closed their eyes tightly, lifeless.

"The dead can't be resurrected, you don't have to guard here every day, go outside to play." Zou Bai knew that his words were not pleasant, but he couldn't do it by lying to a child that the dead would be resurrected.

In a thousand years, he may have relived several lives.

"He will come back to life," Jiang Bie suddenly got angry, and said loudly, "Although I like you very much, but if you say that again, I will be angry. Yue Tian can't die, he promised me."

You can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep.

Zou Bai didn't say anything more, and apologized to him: "I'm sorry, I said something wrong, promise, this is for you."

With that said, he took off Pikachu's pendant from his phone.

Jiang Bie was a child at heart, and immediately became happy: "Well, I like it very much."

Zou Bai smiled and patted his head: "We have to leave, pay attention to safety, there seems to be a lot of people in the thatched cottage we went to, I don't know if they are good people, you have to be vigilant."

"I'm not afraid of them. They've been looking for Yuetian, and I won't let them find it." Jiang Bie held Pikachu and pouted.

After bidding farewell to Jiang Bie, Zou Bai returned to the entrance of the cave and found that Liang An's face was pale and his eyes were red from the pain.

He carried Liang An on his back with great effort: "Hold on a little longer, we'll go out now, and I'll take you to the doctor."

Zou Bai didn't know what was supporting him for an hour, and he carried Liang An, who was nearly 1.9 meters high, here. But obviously, along the way, Liang An's condition has been improving. Up to now, Liang An has Can walk freely.

Zou Bai worried: "Is the wound on your shoulder really okay?"

Liang An also felt a little strange, he said: "I have felt a little strange since just now, it seems that the wound will be more painful when it is close to the waterfall, but now, for example, when it is so far away, it is almost painless."

"Did you mention the name Yuetian before?" Zou Bai recalled the corpse with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, "I saw an ancient man's corpse in the cold pool of the cave, Jiang don't call him Yuetian, if it wasn't for you The situation was not very good at that time, and I was going to ask you to go in and have a look."

Liang An recalled the image of the man that flashed in his mind: "It's okay, I don't know him actually, so let's go and see again when we have a chance."

It was late at night when they left the cave, and there was no one in the toy factory, and they had been in for a week this time, and they didn't know what was going on outside.

The yin and stench of the toy factory had dissipated, but Liang An still couldn't help looking back at the toy factory. Who knew that Chen Zhongzao had passed away here a few years ago, and he still felt uncomfortable thinking about it.

There was no one outside the factory. The two of them were walking towards home. A car was parked in the distance. Before they got close, the car started and drove away.

The figure in the car was somewhat familiar, Zou Bai suddenly realized and chased after him: "Wait!"

It was said that the car drove faster and quickly disappeared in front of the two of them.

Zou Bai was shocked, and said in amazement: "That's Junjun."

Junjun is Chen Zhong's son, everyone knows it, but only they know that Chen Zhong is not Chen Zhong, and the Junjun just now doesn't look like Junjun either.

Liang An was full of anger: I searched all over the city to find him. "

Zou Bai has regained his senses: "He won't stay here, he already suspects that we know this, but the future is long, and no one can say for sure what will happen in the future."

After recovering for three days, when they got on the plane from Gongcheng,

Received the news of Junjun's death.

It was in Lincheng, someone stabbed him to death with a knife.

The accident happened so quickly that they didn't even realize it. The two were silent for a long time, and finally they only uttered one sentence: good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil.

But as for the reincarnation of heaven, it is still artificial, and it has nothing to do with them.

When I got off the train, it was Ji Mao or the one who had just been discharged from the hospital.

Zou Bai looked at the chicken feather with hatred: "You are too disappointing, what kind of rhetoric did this kid use to buy you?"

Ji Mao smiled obsequiously: "Brother, just forgive him, he came here to admit his mistakes to you on purpose."

The anger in Zou Bai's heart dissipated a long time ago, but in order to put on a show, he held back for a while, and finally ended by saying that adults don't remember villains coming.

The next half month went very smoothly, and the chicken feather's duck shop was also on the right track, and the chicken feather even opened an online store, and the online sales were not good.

So all day long, this kid's toothache almost flew away from laughter.

Taking advantage of this period of time, Zou Bai also had a rare enjoyment. He even blocked his nose. Adhering to the mentality of a big holiday, he really rested for a long time. This peace was not broken until a visit from a person.

It was Wei Yu and a familiar man.

As for how familiar it is, Zou Bai can only say that he can't forget it, because this is the man in the cold pool.

Yuetian, but now has short hair and is now dressed up.

Zou Bai inquired intentionally: "Is this your junior brother?"

"Yeah..." Wei Yu's face was full of love, and Zou Bai even felt that he was a little possessed.

Zou Bai continued: "How long have you been looking for him, he seems a bit cynical."

"I found it three days after I went out from you." Speaking of his junior brother, this was the first time Zou Bai found out that Wei Yu was still a chatterbox, and he wished to start with Yue Tian who had eaten these things a few times.

The time is wrong, at least this month Yuetian and the person in Hantan are not alone, but for some reason, Zou Bai is almost sure that the Yuetian here is fake, while the one in Hantan is real.

But looking at Wei Yu's hopeful face, he was not easy to offend. After all, no one knew, and no one said that this Yuetian and that Yuetian were the same person.

Besides, don't let people reincarnate?

Before getting the exact clue, Zou Bai had no choice but to cooperate, saying something like this:

"Yeah, your junior brother is really beautiful, your junior brother is really smart..."

Until Wei Yu got up and left later, even Liang An wondered if the university professor was possessed by a ghost, and the change was too fast.

Liang An interrupted Zou Bai's train of thought: "Don't think about it, Zi Feiyu An knows Yu Zhile, even if it's a sweet dream, let him continue to dream."

He rubbed Zou Bai's head: "Where to eat today, but I have to agree in advance, I almost vomit from eating duck, so I will definitely not eat it today."

"It's so delicious that you can't stop your mouth." Zou Bai glared at him, then turned on his mobile phone to search for nearby snack bars, but couldn't find the right one after searching.

"Why don't we go to Auntie's to eat today?" Liang An suggested.

For more than half a month, they also went to have two meals from time to time. Although they prepared the meals by themselves, Zou Bai knew that he wanted to spend more time with Li Wenhua, so he agreed.

The two first went to the vegetable market to buy some vegetables, and then turned around and went to the supermarket, because Liang An said that he found that there were not enough daily necessities at home, so they picked and picked, until it was almost six o'clock in the afternoon, and the two set off for Zixia Community .

As a result, the road ahead became more and more congested, and police cars and fire engines rang together.

Zou Bai grabbed an old man who seemed to come out from inside, and asked, "Master, what happened inside? Why are the police all here?"

The uncle wiped the sweat from his forehead: "This Zixia community is on fire. The fire is so intense that all the buildings in the community have been burned down. I heard that none of the people inside survived."

Zou Bai turned his head and stared at the front, black smoke billowed from his head, and the entire sky in the distance was dyed black.

He almost lost his voice: "Quick, drive to the community."

As he said that, he reached out to pull the steering wheel. Liang An quickly grabbed it back and pressed his shoulder: "Zou Bai, Zou Bai, look at me, listen to me."

He took a deep breath and continued: "Don't worry, Auntie will be fine. Uncle also heard what others said. Think about it, how could a community burn down in one go, and even the firefighters had no time to respond? Don't worry, Take a deep breath with me."

Zou Bai felt that the breath he was holding in his chest was only now coming out, and when his emotions fluctuated extremely, he could really stop breathing.

He took deep breaths with Liang An, but the words he spoke were still intermittent: "We, let's go down, let's go."

"Okay, okay," Liang An quickly agreed, "I promise you to go down, but you have to promise me that you can't be in a hurry, you know?"

Zou Bai nodded: "Okay."

The moment they got out of the car, the two almost started running.

Liang An watched Zou Bai's situation, he had already decided that if something happened, he would forcefully carry him away, even if Zou Bai would hate him later.

There was a huge crowd of people at the entrance of the community, and the police pulled out a cordon inside. There were too many people watching the excitement outside. Liang An shouted as he walked, "Please make room, everyone. I am a family member, let me go in."

After all, they were family members, the crowd quickly gave way, and Zou Bai and Zou Bai were able to enter in an instant.

The fire inside was still burning, and the nearest policeman was covered in sweat, but no one complained at this time, and all the policemen had a cold face.

Zou Bai said anxiously: "I am a family member, can you let me in? I want to see how my mother is doing?"

This is a residential area for the elderly, the fire broke out too quickly, and there was a traffic jam outside Jiaxing, Zou Bai and the others were the first family members to arrive.

The first policeman winked, and they were quickly let in, and a small policeman led them aside.

Zou Bai was anxious: "Tell me about the situation inside. My mother is old and the floor is high."

The police seemed to have something to hide: "Don't worry, report the unit and floor of the community first."

After reporting the news, the little policeman's face looked even uglier, almost blackened into a piece of coke.

Liang An squeezed Zou Bai's hand: "You said, we can bear it."

"This is the building that caught fire first. It has burned down and no one survived."

Zou Bai felt a sweetness in his throat, and breathed out from his mouth in one breath, his body lost strength, and he fell down slowly.

"Zou Bai!" Liang An supported him, "Do you have emergency personnel here? Please help him look."

There was already blood, and the little policeman knew that the situation was serious. In addition, no one was rescued, and the ambulance was empty until now, so he arranged for the medical staff to come to rescue first.

When Zou Bai woke up, it was already dark, and the smell of burnt air filled the air. The words of the little policeman echoed in his mind, and he grabbed the hand of the person next to him: "How is my mother?"

"Auntie..." Liang An was a little worried that he would not be able to bear it.

"You said" the fishy smell in his throat crept up again, and he swallowed it directly.

Liang An leaned down and hugged him: "Auntie has already left."

He could feel Zou Bai's whole body shaking, so he repeatedly emphasized: "There is still me, there is still me, I will never leave you..."

Tears came out of his eyes and dripped into his hands, Zou Bai reacted and cried bitterly.

It was a howl that made one's bones sore.

Many years later, when someone asked Liang An again about his mood at that time.

He replied: "I want to take out my heart and tell him not to cry."

I don't know how long this crying lasted. Liang An only knew that his heart was about to die, and he died from crying.

When the emotions are released, the bodily functions are reactivated.

Liang An explained to him one by one what happened during this period. The prisoner had already been caught, and he deliberately set the fire on purpose. No one survived in the entire community.

When his emotions stabilized, Zou Bai heard the cries gradually coming from around, and most of the family members had arrived.

This night, no one can sleep, including the police, including firefighters, including medical staff...

Death toll: 208.

In this tragic case, the arsonist died ten times and no one would think it too many. Two hundred and eight old people who were helpless were burned to death. This is a frenzied thing.

When dawn was approaching, Zou Bai smelled a smell, which was the smell of burnt smell, and this smell gradually coincided with the scene in his memory.

The smell of that orphanage, the orphanage where he grew up.

Yes, Zou Bai is actually an orphan, and Li Wenhua, who just died, is her adoptive mother, but in fact she has another identity.

The director of Ziyou Orphanage.

Liang An's eyes widened: "The smell of the orphanage?"

This incident was an important reason why Li Wenhua came to live in this community, because this community was built on the ruins of the orphanage.Back then, he and Li Wenhua moved out of the orphanage in a hurry, because many strange things happened there, and children often disappeared, which was also an important reason for them to move out.

As for why she only adopted Zou Bai, because he was the only one who survived among the group of children.

He wanted to rot the events of that day in his heart for the rest of his life, but it was the smell just now that brought back the memories that had been sealed for many years.

It was winter one year. Zou Bai was five years old and was abandoned at the gate of the orphanage. The headmaster Li Wenhua smiled kindly and called him in, but he refused to move a step, preferring to suffer the cold outside.

Li Wenhua looked at the strange boy curiously: "What's the matter? Why didn't you come in?"

Five-year-old Zou Bai looked up into the orphanage, his eyes full of fear: "It stinks so bad..."
