Chapter 80: The Smell of Blood
She didn't expect that there would be such a tool here.
It seems that what he said before and never went out was not false.
"Who?" A hoarse and old female voice came, and the man lowered the knife in his hand and went in the direction from which the voice came.
An Xia looked around.
It's shabby, but it's clean, but it doesn't look good.
That's all there is to it, except for a simple stove and some essential things, there is nothing in it.
Anxia originally wanted to sit down, but looking at such a place made her feel like she had nowhere to put her feet.
It didn't take long for the man to come out.
Also pushing an old man in a wheelchair.
The old man coughed slightly, he didn't look very well, skinny, but his eyes were extremely sharp, staring at them as if he wanted to see through them.
However, several of them were people who had experienced the wind and waves, and the old man's gaze was nothing to them at all, and they all did not change their faces and did not panic.
However, the old man's gaze stayed on An Xia's body for a little longer.
"Since you're all here, sit down." The old man is not a simple role at first glance, which makes An Xia think of Yuchen's grandfather at once.
The old man's voice was not good, it was like phlegm, very ugly.
However, Yuchen and the others still stood all the time.
It's not that they want to fight against the old man, but it's bare, and there's nothing but the walls, so let them sit on the ground?
"Xiao He, you go and prepare some food first, these guests should come from afar, it should be very hard." The old man didn't care when he saw that they didn't move, but just commanded his son.
The man, that is, Xiao He, nodded.
"You come with me first."
The man took An Xia and Yu Chen to a room first, "This room is where my sister used to live, and no one has lived in it for a long time, but I clean it often, and I can still live in it." ”
As soon as Anxia came in, she smelled a musty smell.
Although it is hot all year round, it is also accompanied by dampness and cold, and you can see that it is easy to get rheumatism if you sleep like this for a long time.
"Thank you." Yu Chen's jaw is bowed.
"I'll go prepare dinner first, and you can rest here." The man was about to leave, but he stopped again, "It's not safe in the village at night, I advise you not to go out casually, otherwise I won't know what happened." ”
The man finished speaking and left.
Anxia frowned, "What do you mean?" ”
"That's what it means to keep us out of the house." As soon as the man left, Yu Chen's expression became indifferent, he has always been a little clean, this room looks clean, but as soon as he smells it, he knows that there is a strange smell, attached to the air, faintly, the smell is not heavy, but the smell is definitely unpleasant.
And there really is, except for a bed, a dresser made of wood on the other side of the bed.
Not even a mirror.
Anxia looked up, and the tattered window grilles could see the moon outside at a glance.
I didn't expect to be able to see the moon today.
"Why did he go out of his way to say such a sentence?" The man didn't say that An Xia might not care so much, and as soon as he said it, An Xia had a feeling that something was not quite right.
"Didn't he say that it's not safe outside, and that's probably the reason." Yu Chen glanced outside.
Found a room separated from them by a yard, is it intentionally or unintentionally trying to separate them?
An Xia felt that there was something wrong with his words, this village should logically be simple and simple, but since they came in today, there has been a strange feeling everywhere.
"I always felt like they were very repulsive to outsiders." Anxia remembered the way those people looked at them today.
The xenophobic mood was so obvious that even if she was so sluggish, it could be seen at a glance.
"It's normal for such a village to live in such an environment and never go out, so you should be wary of people outside." Yu Chen comforted.
If it were usual, Anxia would have been fooled by him, but now, Anxia looked at him.
His eyes flashed, "Are you hiding something from me?" ”
Yu Chen hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, "What can I hide from you?" ”
"It's not right to come in here from the beginning, but you are acting very gentlely, just now, you looked gentle and harmless when Xiao He was there, and as soon as he left, you had a cold face, and the eyes of those people were not good at first glance, I don't believe you didn't feel anything."
With Yu Chen's strategizing appearance, she absolutely didn't believe that he would just sit back and wait for death.
Anxia looked straight at him, as if she must know something from his mouth.
"Do you really want to know?"
"Really."
The smile on Yu Chen's face was put away.
The reason why he didn't say it before was because he was worried about scaring Anxia, but seeing the way she broke the casserole and asked the end, he also knew that he couldn't hide it from her.
"It's really weird here." Yuchen said, "Did you smell a smell when you first came in here?" ”
"The taste? All I could smell was a musty smell, are you talking about this smell? ”
He shook his head.
"It's an old smell of blood."
Anxia, "? ”
"Is there such a thing as the smell of blood?"
No, that's not the point.
The point is how there can be a smell of blood here.
"Could it be because of some accident that the blood stains will be left?" Anxia thought for a while and said.
Yu Chen looked at her with a smile, "Look, you obviously know that the bloodstains here are definitely not left by accident, but you are deceiving yourself, do you really want to know." Isn't it better not to say? ”
"What do you say......" Anxia thought of a possibility that made her hairs stand on end.
Only when the smell of blood is strong enough will Yu Chen say it so clearly.
But so far she hasn't figured it out.
"Why can you smell it, why can't I smell anything?" She sniffed carefully, and there was really nothing in the air except the musty smell of the quilt.
"That's because you're not sensitive to the smell of blood, which has been cleaned before, but the smell can still be smelled."
Just like the tarsal bones, even if you rinse it with clean water over and over again, you can still smell the fishy smell.
If it's one, I'm afraid I'll be able to find out as soon as I come in.
"So...... Someone once died here? After she finished speaking, she felt a cold sweat on her back, and it was really a little scary.
"It should be."
Yu Chen nodded approvingly.
An Xia's pupils shrank, "He just said that his sister used to live here, and he didn't say where his sister went, could it be that his sister has ......?"
When ordinary people say this, the first thing that comes to mind is whether my sister is already married.
Xiao He's age is not small, and if his sister gets married, it will be a normal thing.
Just saying this, Anxia wondered if her sister was gone.
"Probably not, in such a village, the existence of women must be relatively rare, women can be used as fertility tools in their eyes, no matter what the reason, they should be safe and sound."
Yuchen was right, but An Xia was still a little uncomfortable listening to it.
But you also know that this is the case.
"That's why their eyes were so terrifying when I came in just now." When she thought of the way those people looked at her just now, she really felt her scalp tingle.
When Yu Chen said this, the cold light in his eyes flashed.
"Even if they want to, they have to have the ability to dare to touch you, 134 is not a vegetarian, I have observed just now, although these people have a little strength, but they have not received orthodox training, such a person can't compete with 134 at all."
After Yuchen finished speaking, he looked at An Xia, and the arrogance in his eyes made An Xia's heart fall.
"So you don't have to worry, and I'll always be there for you even if everyone isn't there."
When An Xia heard this, she didn't know why her nose was sore, and she took the initiative to come to Yu Chen's arms, put her hands through his waist, wrapped her body around him, buried her face in his arms, and could feel his breath deeply.
"I believe in you." Her voice was buzzing, but it was easy to tell that it was those four words.
It was the first time for Yuchen to enjoy such a complete hug, but he didn't expect it to be in such a place.
The frozen hand didn't know where to put it, but fortunately Anxia didn't look up at this time, otherwise he would have been able to see a suspicious flush flash in his ears.
After a long time, his hand was lowered, gently soothing An Xia behind his back.
"But I'm still quite worried, people here don't have three views, and they don't have a sense of law, killing people is such a simple thing for them, and it seems that no matter what Xiao He does, maybe the people in the village will come over to help, and when the time comes, so many people, even if they are powerful, they may not be able to resist."
After all, they are outsiders, and there is no reason to help outsiders deal with their own people.
What's more, these people don't necessarily know the law of murder, but it's because there are so many people here and no one comes that they are so unscrupulous.
What's more, it's still uncertain who they killed, Yan Yu hasn't found it yet, and An Xia was still thinking just now, or they would leave overnight.
But thinking about how much effort it had taken them to get here, it would not be easy to come back if they had left like this.
The man has not doubted them now, which is a better point.
"There aren't many people here, maybe a few dozen of them." Yu Chen lowered his head and looked at her.
An Xia was taken aback, "You knew all the way?" So you've been secretly paying attention to it for a long time? ”
"It's not counting, I'm naturally more vigilant, you know, and it's in this kind of poor country, you're by my side, of course I'm more vigilant."
