306 Chapter 3 Smell it

The little brother quietly listened to the recording I compiled, but he still didn't show any emotion as usual.

After dinner, everyone sat in the corridor and listened to Wu Xie telling us what he had heard.

We all found a place to sit down, and the younger brother asked me to sit next to him. I turned slightly sideways, blinking at him with expectant eyes.

The little brother understood my thoughts very well, and stretched out his hand to protect my little head a few times. Without saying a word, I fell into his arms beautifully, leaned against his chest, held his chest with my little hands, and looked up. He, he caressed my little face.

Then I heard the voice of a big, rude old cat, "Meow~Meow~". I rubbed it in the palm of my little brother's hand, turned around and looked over. It was the sound that the fat man made on purpose. I followed him and said: "Kitten!" , meow~" One look and I knew that he was deliberately teasing me, so I shrugged my nose at him.

Wu Xie patted him: "What are you doing? Let me see, your face still doesn't hurt."

The fat man laughed a few times, but did not dare to use too much force.

Wu Xie sat down and started to talk to us. After a while, he talked about "iron pieces" and "the smell of dead people". Wu Xie said: "Pan Ma said that those iron pieces were placed in a shoe box size." in the box.

In fact, the box he was talking about is the storage box used by the archaeological team to store the fragments of unearthed cultural relics. It is also nicknamed the antique box. This kind of box also comes in several sizes, but because the unearthed cultural relics are generally smaller. Heavy, the weight contained in the size of a shoe box is the most suitable for transportation. That size is usually used, and there is usually a strict number.

Panma first smelled what he called the "smell of the dead" on this kind of box. It was not until he later smelled the same smell on the "resurrected" archaeological team members that he called the smell the "smell of the dead." He said that Menyoupin also had that smell, that's why he said that about me and Menyoupin before.

I also thought that there might be corpse odor brought out of this person who often went to the grave, but he said it was not corpse odor.

We have iron blocks and oil bottles, but we don't smell anything different or inexplicable. "

He followed him and looked at me and said to me: "Uh... Xiaoxun, um... you are with Menyou Ping every day, and they are very close to each other. Have you ever smelled any unspeakable smell?"

I replied simply: "No."

The fat man cleared his throat and said, "You answered so quickly, and you didn't take him seriously at first glance. If you're serious, give him a good sniff."

I said "Ah" and asked, "Now?"

The fat man clicked his tongue and said, "Ah, what else? Hurry up. If you don't want to hear it, I'll do it."

Wu Xie and I said in unison: "Ah? Come here!" Wu Xie tilted his head and looked at him with incredible eyes. An extremely strange picture seemed to appear in front of my eyes. I immediately said: "No, I will do it myself."

I immediately sat up a little, raised my head and looked at him, and my brother also looked down at me slightly.

I stretched out my hand to scratch my temples, then pinched my little lips, and looked at him intently with both eyes, thinking, how can I smell it so well? After being stunned for a moment, I hugged his neck with one hand and hooked my little hand. , hugged him towards me, and with a tilt of my little head, my face was pressed against his neck, with my mouth and nose touching it.

As soon as I pressed up against him, the little brother suddenly became a little nervous. He clenched his fists, his face expressionless, motionless, and allowed the little girl's little nose and mouth to rub against his neck, and stroke it here and there. of.

The little brother lowered his eyes involuntarily and looked at the little head in front of him. He swallowed nervously, turned his head to the side, and lowered his head slightly.

The little brother moved a little further away from my nose, but before I could smell anything, he changed from a sitting position to a squatting position, and followed his movements and moved closer to me. I was smelling and thinking. .

The fat man tilted his head and said to Wu Xie in a low voice: "I didn't expect that such a weak and weak girl would be so good at flirting. Oh, I must be embarrassed to look like that. The girl caught him off guard."

Wu Xie smiled and watched the fun while saying, "I think it's pretty good. It's better than watching you rush up to sniff the oil bottle. Watching them is called enjoyment, but looking at you is called eye-sore."

The fat man chuckled and said, "I was still thinking that it would be nice if the little girl didn't listen and let you go."

Wu Xie said: "When old man Panma told me this, I really thought about smelling the Menyou bottle when I came back, but I felt too embarrassed."

The fat man squinted his eyes and said cheerfully: "We don't need to do anything. Just take a look, tut, tut, tut, oh, look carefully. Are the roots of my little brother's ears red? He will be embarrassed this time."

Wu Xie also looked at the little brother carefully, and then said: "Hey, don't tell me, it seems a little red." I smelled it carefully and thought seriously, so I couldn't help but close my eyes and squeeze it with my little hands. Touching my lips, I thought about what the old man smelled, and what he might have smelled.

The people in the new team back then and the younger brother now all have the smell of iron. The three must have something in common.

I thought about it carefully and found that the original team secretly took the items inside for "it" to conduct immortality experiments. It is very likely that the iron block contained the body of a highly respected ancestor of the Zhang family who had undergone immortality treatment.

I feel that ordinary corpses are generally not treated for immortality, so it must be a highly respected person, and it is very likely to be the corpse of Zhang Qiling of a certain generation. If it is Zhang Qiling of a certain generation, then it is a corpse with unicorn blood. Only this Maybe, the thing inside the iron block is related to and has something in common with my brother.

The smell of a corpse that has been specially treated and contains Kirin blood will naturally be different from the smell of an ordinary corpse.

The corpse pieces must have been taken out of the coffin. In order to achieve the best results for the experiment, they would definitely take the oldest corpse. It is estimated that the corpse has been contained in the coffin for at least hundreds of years. The newly opened coffin, The smell must be quite strong, and the archaeological team members who have handled the corpses are likely to be contaminated with some of the smell.

Of course, not everyone has smelled a special corpse and a special smell, so naturally not everyone can describe it.

When Panma saw his little brother, he had just fought with a lynx and was injured and bleeding. He had a fight that day and his body temperature had risen a lot, so he would emit the smell of unicorn blood. It was normal, and it was precisely because of this that the old man Panma smelled the smell and found that it was the same as the "smell of death" he identified decades ago.

But the only unreasonable thing is that the people in the original team were already having troubles back then, so they didn't have this smell on their bodies, but only the new team had it.

There is probably only one more reasonable explanation, that is, the people from the new team arrived in a hurry, maybe doing the finishing work of pouring, and were too anxious or unskilled, causing the smell to be tainted on their bodies. This seems to be the most reasonable explanation.

I thought about it for a while, and then the little brother quietly turned around and looked at me. He saw that I had my eyes closed, pinching my mouth for a while, scratching my head for a while, thinking about the problem with my head tilted, showing a positive expression, and a negative expression. The expression, the puzzled expression, finally showed a small expression of sudden enlightenment. The little brother knew that the girl might have thought of it, and couldn't help but reveal a faint smile.

I opened my eyes and just saw it. The little brother smiled faintly and said to me, "It's so beautiful!" I was stunned for a moment.

Fatty and Wu Xie looked at us for a long time. By now Fatty was getting tired of waiting, so he shouted: "Hey! Girl, how are you? What kind of food does your brother have?"

I said "Ah", as if I wanted to eat him, and he still tasted...

I wanted to sit down again, but I was too absorbed in my thoughts just now. Unexpectedly, my legs were a little sore and numb from squatting. As soon as I moved, my legs were soft. Brother was knocked down, and most of the people fell on him.

The fat man burst out laughing.Even Wu Xie couldn't help laughing.

The little brother hugged me tightly with his arms for a moment, because he was afraid that he would sprain me if he resisted me hard, so he fell back. After a moment of relief, he whispered to me: "Are you feeling better?"

Now that I couldn't think about the problem, I remembered what I had done just now... My face turned red with embarrassment, and I didn't dare to raise my head, so I buried myself in his arms and nodded gently.

The little brother turned me over and gently helped me up. I grabbed his clothes tightly and held them to his chest. I refused to show my face. The little brother kept holding me with one hand and touching my head with the other. action, looking down at me.

The fat man asked: "Girl, how are you? What did you smell?"

I thought for a while and said, "I guess it smells like blood."

Wu Xie asked doubtfully: "Blood?"

I asked him: "Did the old man tell you anything about that piece of iron?"

Wu Xie said: "Well, Father Panma showed me his piece of iron. It was indeed the same as the piece found under Menyou Ping's bed. It was the same iron knot with a simple pattern on it, but This piece of panma is slightly larger. I smelled it specially, and sure enough I smelled a strange smell, but it was very light and it was almost impossible to tell what it was. Dad said that the smell was very strong when he first discovered it, and gradually Yes, the smell disappeared little by little. If you put the iron piece at home, there won’t be any bugs in the house.”

I said: "So it's obvious that I guessed it right." Although I didn't say it clearly, it should be clear, could it be blood that can repel insects? What else could it be? I raised my head and blinked at the little brother, like They are children waiting for praise.

The little brother Hu Lu Hu Lu winked at me, just to tell me that he thought that was probably the case.

Wu Xie and Fatty still seemed a little vague, but that was probably the answer, so they didn't ask any more questions.

Following Wu Xie, he told us what happened to Panma and the others. It was these latter things that made Panma believe that something would happen if there was that "smell of death".
