The smell of the dead is very special, and some people think that it is not the smell of rotten meat, but it is not.

Even if it is an animal carcass, the taste is different when it decomposes.

The human sense of smell is limited by species differences and is simply not comparable to that of animals. But Niu Struggle has undergone special training from the beggar master, and his six senses are sensitive, and he dare not say that he is comparable to a hound, but he will not be too inferior. Especially after working in the funeral home for a while, he is even more familiar with the smell of the dead, and he can even tell whether it is a male or female corpse from the smell, and how long it has been dead.

For the decay of some animal carcasses, people may just feel disgusting and unpleasant. But the dead and the living are both human beings, and the smell emitted by the dead will give the same kind of people a strong sense of crisis, which is due to the evolution of species.

Therefore, Niu Struggle dared to conclude that he was absolutely not wrong.

Ning Yiyu and Zhang Xiaojie, after hearing the "smell of the dead", were so frightened that they had shrunk to the door and were very close to each other, as if they wanted to encourage each other in this way.

However, after Niu Zhan said this, his expression was still calm, and it was no wonder that he had already seen it. And he also knew that that thing was not fierce, otherwise he would not let Zhang Xiaojie still have his life to speak.

According to the map, Niu Zhan found that the smell was emitted from the cabinet, because it was not his own home, it was very rude to touch other people's things casually, so he turned his head and said to Zhang Xiaojie: "Hey, you didn't kill people and hide corpses, did you?" ”

In fact, he is a funny man, judging from the smell, the smell is emitted by an old corpse, and he is designated to be much older than Zhang Xiaojie, how could it be that she killed someone and hid the corpse.

But this sentence almost scared the two girls who were already frightened, and Zhang Xiaojie was about to cry: "You, don't be joking, how can I kill someone." ”

"Oh, if you really did it, but I have to say it in advance, I can consider covering it up" The more times like this, the more relaxed the cow struggles, probably because of the hunter's excitement, so continue to joke.

"I didn't!" Zhang Xiaojie was about to be driven crazy.

"Okay, then you can help open the cabinet, the things are inside, this is your personal belongings, it's inconvenient for me to do it!"

"It's convenient, it's convenient, you can do it yourself" At this time, Zhang Xiaojie couldn't wait to grab the door, not to mention that there were just some clothes and sundries in the cabinet, even if there was really something unsightly, she didn't mind being turned out.

"Okay, you're welcome," he said, and casually pulled the cabinet door open.

The two girls let out an "ahh

Niu Zhan was stunned by the cabinet door, and muttered: "Damn, I'm not afraid, what's your name?" If you do this again, I will be scared to death by you! ”

After saying that, he didn't care about the two startled girls, and looked through the cabinet. It didn't take much effort, just a few glances, and I locked on the target, which was a drum with simple workmanship and strange carvings, and the smell came from that drum.

He grinned "Huh", picked out the drum ring and asked Zhang Xiaojie: "Where did you get this thing from?" ”

Seeing that he took out a drum, not a piece of carrion or a human head, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Xiaojie said: "I bought it from the antique market, and it looks good!" What's wrong? ”

"I also asked what's wrong, you buy a pigskin drum, a cowhide drum is okay, buy a leather drum back, it's really enough!" Niu Zhan said disgustedly.

"No, what kind of drum do you think that's that?" Zhang Xiaojie suspected that she had misheard.

"Human skin drums, it's a woman's skin, you look at the leather is more delicate than yours," Niu Zhan said, sending the drum to their faces.

Like fried cats, the two women jumped up from the spot and ran to the living room.

"You, you, you, don't take it, please!"

Niu Zhan carried the drum and looked puzzled: "What are you afraid of, I'm still afraid of the things I bought, I look at the scrubbing is very clean, and you don't play less!" ”

"Isn't that different?" Zhang Xiaojie cried.

"Teacher, don't scare us, really, yes。。。。。。 Did that thing do it? Ning Yi's language is also choked enough, and his speech is as bad as Zhang Xiaojie's.

"Hey, what are you lying to!"

After speaking, he also clapped twice, and the drum made a crisp sound.

"Listen to this sound, the pigskin drum is more stuffy than this, the cowhide drum is thicker than this, and the man's skin should be brighter than this," Niu Struggle kindly explained.

The two girls were dumbfounded, what kind of monster is this man in front of them, talking about human skin bulges, and talking about the Tao.

"Look at the two of you, come, sit down, I'll talk to you."

"I don't want to hear it," Ning Yiyu said with a sad face.

Not to mention Zhang Xiaojie, at this time, her stomach was turning upside down, and she really touched the drum at ordinary times, but who would have thought that she had been touching another woman's skin.

"Don't you want to hear it, your depression and persecution paranoia are all related to this thing," Niu Zhan said to Zhang Xiaojie with a smile.

When the two girls heard this, their eyes turned from horror to doubt, especially Zhang Xiaojie: "You mean, I'm not sick, it's all caused by this thing?" ”

"Whether you are sick or not, I can't guarantee it, but I dare to say that the root of your illness is definitely this thing, okay, with me, you don't have to be afraid, wait for me, show you something."

After speaking, he carried the drum into the kitchen, and then came out with a kitchen knife.

The two girls sat down face to face with Niu Zhan, trembling and not knowing what he was going to do.

I saw Niu Zhan pick up the knife and asked Zhang Xiaojie: "By the way, do you still plan to ask for this thing?" ”

Her head almost shook into a rattle.

Niu Struggle let out an "oh" and began to break the drum with a knife, and said while making it: "In fact, human skin drums are quite common, especially in Tibetan areas of serf society, and they are generally used as funeral objects. There is also a bowl made of skulls, which seems to be called a Gabala bowl. I really don't understand why modern people always like to go there to wash their souls. By the way, that place also makes people's eyebrows and heart bones into prayer beads, also called Gabala prayer beads, but that thing is okay, it is a tantric magic weapon, it is said to be to verify the hundred and eighty samadhi, can eliminate people's sinful karma, but I still feel a little incredible when I mention it. ”

He spoke with relish, like a story, and the two girls listened to it with cold hair, especially when there was a ready-made evidence in front of them.

"I didn't take it back from Tibet," Zhang Xiaojie quickly explained.

Niu Zhan nodded, and said while concentrating on peeling the drum surface: "I know, the style is different, and you look at the drum surface, the skin is delicate, how can people over there have this kind of skin." ”

Ning Yi said in his heart: What else is there to be proud of!

"But if you really got it back from there, it wouldn't be like this. Because after all, there is that kind of tradition, it is a funeral offering, and the grievance will not be too great. But it's different on our side, the human skin drum is very fierce! ”
