Chapter 126 The smell of the dead
There is no motivation without pressure. After the fat man returned home, he rode a small electric donkey out to deliver takeout. I packed up my things and pulled the goods to set up a stall under the overpass. I was thinking about the old man along the way. I absolutely don’t believe the lies of the old man who loves to make friends. There is no love for no reason in this world, nor does it hate for no reason. The old man suddenly treated me and the fat man so well. He must have had some plans. What exactly did he want to do? Is he a metaphysician who knows the secret of Qinglong Mountain and knows me Lin Baqian? I think this possibility is slim.
, The secret of Qinglong Mountain is not yet known to everyone on the street. To be honest, I even had the idea of moving and changing to a place to settle down at this time, but when I thought that the fat man was now in need of someone to accompany me, I finally met an old friend in a foreign land, and I didn’t want to return to the kind of life of being alone all day long. Finally, I gritted my teeth and thought that since I came, I would be at ease. The day when the old king’s head must have a fox tail was exposed, it would be impossible until then that time it would be not too late to put oil under my feet and leave. I have been hiding for four years, so I don’t believe that anyone still remembers me.
Two or three days passed in a blink of an eye, and there was no news on Lao Wang's side. On the fourth day, I was looking down at a book "After a Dinner" under the overpass. Suddenly someone whispered: "Brother, this guy who is in the middle of the afternoon, find a place to have two cups of hot tea?"
As soon as I looked up, I saw Lao Wang squatting on the ground and laughing at me. I thought that what should come is coming, but I wanted to see what you sell in this gourd. So I simply packed up my things and followed Lao Wang to a herbal tea shop. Lao Wang lit two cups of herbal tea. I didn't say anything and drank it. Lao Wang slapped me and smiled at me while drinking. Finally, I couldn't help it and said, "Uncle Wang, now we are the two of us. Just tell me if you have anything to do."
"What are the uncle Wang or uncle Wang? They all run outside. No matter how senior you are, you only make friends with brothers. Just call me Brother Wang. We are also friends forgot about our age." Lao Wang said.
Seeing that the old man was still talking very smoothly, I was a little upset and said, "If you have something to say, just talk. If you have nothing to say, I will go back to set up a stall. I really have nothing to do with me. All my belongings are the broken books under the overpass. If you can pick out three or two of the original works from it, I will give them to you."
The old Wang's eyes rolled, and he said, "Since my brother is honest, I will tell the truth."
After saying that, Lao Wang stretched out three fingers to me and took my hand and drew a circle in my palm. Then he looked at me and said, "In the Eight Wilderness, there is grass on the outer wall of the North City."
"What jb thing?!" I said in a daze.
Old Wang was stunned for a moment and said, "Brother, you really don't understand?"
I know, and Lao Wang still regards me as a special profession. What he said to me was like a code, and his gestures should also be a code word. I said, "You really recognized the wrong person."
"No." Now it was Lao Wang's turn to be surprised. He sniffed his nose and said, "It's impossible for me to smell this smell on you."
I smelled it on myself. I had not washed the clothes for two days and had a smell of sweat. I didn't smell anything other than this. I said, "What can I smell on my body?"
Old Man Wang grabbed my hand and smelled it again. He frowned and said, "It's strange. If you really don't understand, then pretend I didn't say it. Don't worry, we still have a lot of things we said that day. My old man said something like a pit. The world is far away, and we will have a date in the future."
After saying that, Lao Wang hugged me and fists and was about to leave. It was my turn to leave again. I grabbed him and said, "Brother Wang, I won't take you like this. If I take off my pants, you can show me this? A big girl teased me for a long time and told me that something was wrong with me. This matter is not authentic. If you don't explain it clearly, I will feel itchy."
Lao Wang looked at me, his eyes turned and said, "That's right, this is not a place to talk. Boss, come here for a elegant seat."
We moved a small private room from the front hall. The teahouse was not big, and there were only a few curtains in this small private room. Lao Wang took out a white marble snuff bottle and sniffed it under his nose and said, "Brother, do you really don't know the smell on your body?"
"What does it taste like? Masculine?!" I said.
"Deadly." Lao Wang looked at me meaningfully.
"After talking for a long time, you still think I am a tomb robber." I said, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that you were going to tell a secret. I read in a book that if there are too many tombs of tombs, the body will be stained with the smell of dead people in the tomb. Humans are the genius of all things. In fact, humans will rot and smell when they die like animals, but the rotten odor of humans is different from all animals. It is an extremely special odor. This odor can't be covered even if two bottles of Liushen Flower Dew are sprayed on the body. Some noses can smell this smell on others. Since ancient times, tomb robbers have been making a turnaround business. Many times, people rely on the smell to see whether they are peers or plainclothes in front of them.
After saying that, Lao Wang looked at me with a smile, and I felt that I was saying the wrong thing. I said, "No, this is not what you meant to think I am a tomb robber. I have never done that job, so why is there a dead human touch on me?"
"I didn't treat you as the earth mouse that went down from beginning to end. There is this smell on the earth mouse, but the smell comes from the skin and can be smelled at once. But the dead smell on your body comes from inside, which is different." Old Man Wang said.
I was amused when I heard this and said, "Do you mean I saw me, a rash person in broad daylight? Or am I a living dead person crawling out of a grave?"
"It seems that I really don't understand what I said. We really can't continue to say this, I'll pay the money, let's leave." Old Man Wang stood up and was about to leave.
I bullied myself to the side of Old Man Wang, took out a dagger to press his waist and said, "Brother, I'm here, I haven't finished the tea yet, will I be wasted if I leave now?"
——I also specially prepared this dagger for Lao Wang. From the day I saw him, I had this thing in my arms. Although I knew that this thing was not useful when I encountered anything, I always felt more secure when I had a weapon in my hand. I didn’t expect it to be useful here.
Old Wang looked down at the dagger, and he stretched out his hand to press the tip of the knife and said, "Put it away, this thing is not eye-catching. We two cannot be so kind because of this."
"I don't want to do it either. Tell me, what's going on, why don't I know? No one told me that I have a dead human touch? Your nose is sharper than a police dog." I said.
"I dare not say anything else, just talk about this nose. The police dog is really inferior to me." Old Man Wang said.
"Stop talking nonsense." I said.
"If this matter is really talked about, it's a long story. We just talked about the earth rats of tomb robbers. We pushed it up for three generations. Although my ancestors did not dig a bucket, it also had something to do with this industry. My ancestors specially divided gold and fixed acupoints for this earth rat." Old Man Wang said.
"Your ancestor was a Feng Shui master?" I asked.
Lao Wang shook his head and said, "I knew you wanted to say that. Now when it comes to searching for dragons and pointing acupoints, most people can think of Feng Shui master. It is true that you can point acupoints when viewing yin and yang according to Feng Shui. However, my ancestors did not rely on this. He didn't know any big words, so he definitely didn't understand the Feng Shui and Yin and Yang technique. He pressed his acupoints on his nose. He took three feet of underground soil and took it out and sniffed it under his nose. What age is the tomb, and the depth of the tomb can basically be determined.
My ancestors didn't go to the ground, so they took 10% of their dividends from the local mouse. Later, the business stopped doing it, and the unique skills on their noses were passed down. So when I saw you, my little brother, I smelled this special smell on your body. I won't hide it from you anymore. At first I smelled the smell on you, and I thought you were from the same group as the person back then. Now it seems that maybe because of the great air pollution in recent years, my nose is not clear anymore."
"That person back then?" I said.
"That person is called Pangolin. He has done several sensational business and was later arrested and killed. He has been ancestral skills. He has only the skills he doesn't want to fall, but there is no land he can't get out. After he was arrested, the things he stole from those imperial tombs have never been found by the police. I see your age, I guess you were a descendant of Pangolin, because you are exactly the same as you. I didn't expect that the eagle has been pecked by the eagle today. That's the thing. Brother, can you let your brother go back?" said Old Man Wang.
