Chapter 92: Seeking Beauty through Bones

I remember that my dad once said something wrong after drinking, saying that he had a very good female friend. Of course, I have to put quotation marks around this friend. If it weren't for the accident later, maybe my mom wouldn't have had any problems, let alone me.

Although, because of this sentence, he knelt outside the door until dawn, but I could tell from his expression that he was not talking nonsense.

Later, I also secretly asked, and my dad took out this wolf tooth.

The days lying on the hospital bed were probably the loneliest time in my dad's life. He wrote a letter to the other party, and the other party sent him this wolf tooth in return.

Of course, this is not encouragement.

The girl fell in love with a Mongolian man. She felt that he was a real man. The other party saved her from the wolf's mouth. This tooth was from the wolf's mouth. Although this is just an old-fashioned story of a hero saving a beauty, in fact, beauties like heroes. No matter what era, the loser is just a choice without choice. People feel that they have seen the vast ocean, so of course they look down on my dad's little bubble.

Wolf tooth, this is the symbol of Baturu.

The other party is telling my dad in this way - you are too cowardly.

So my dad wore this tooth close to his body all his life. He didn't keep it as a souvenir, but regarded it as a shame to motivate himself to be a real man. As long as he didn't do something spectacular, he would never take it off. It was a bit like sleeping on straw and tasting gall.

Later, he really never took it off for the rest of his life...

"Has my dad already..."

Looking at the bloody wolf tooth in front of me, I felt very uneasy.

"Should not be dead!"

Lao An frowned and said: "We found this wolf tooth in the mountains, hanging on a branch. There are obvious signs of a fight at the scene. We found two footprints. Judging from the lines and size of the soles, it should be your parents' footprints. There is no third party. It's a bit strange, but combined with many signs, we don't think your parents are dead. They may still be in the mountains, but they can't show up for some other reasons!"

My master and I looked at each other and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

In this world, some things really don't leave footprints on the ground!

"Where is he!"

I stood up immediately.

"It's not convenient to tell you this."

Lao An said: "But we have organized people to search the mountain, and we should find something soon. You wait for notification at home!"

Next, he asked some more questions, but unfortunately I knew very little and couldn't give any help. Lao An repeatedly told me to wait for notification at home before leaving.

After he left, I was even more uneasy. I wanted to rush into the mountain to look for it myself, but unfortunately, the other party was too reliable and didn't leave me any useful information. Guan Cen Mountain was so big that I couldn't find it even if I went in!

"Xiao Weizi, calm down. Didn't they say that your father should still be alive!"

Lao Bai rarely said anything cheap. He sat beside me and comforted me: "Didn't you say it too? Your father swore that he would not remove the wolf tooth if he didn't do something big and spectacular. This wolf tooth may not be left by him when he was killed, but he protected your mother and acted like a real man and removed it himself!"

There is some truth in this, but my eyelids were twitching and I couldn't calm down.

Finally, my eyes fell on my master and I gently called him to ask about the problem he found when he came to my house last time.

However, my master ignored me at all. He put his hands behind his back, walked around the house, and kept checking some corners.

I called out several times in succession, and my master finally responded. He looked like he had just woken up from a dream, and turned his head to ask Lao Bai with a confused look on his face: "Tell me, why is the house leaking?"

"This..."

Lao Bai opened his mouth, not quite understanding my master's current state, but still said: "There are many reasons. It may be that the waterproofing is not done well, or it may be that the underground water and heating pipes are leaking... Oh, I'm not a worker, how can I explain it clearly!"

"Since it is leaking, if it is not repaired, it will definitely leak continuously..."

My master frowned and asked again: "Did the police just say that there was water in this house when they came to investigate last time?"

Brother Yaozi nodded: "It seems that he muttered this sentence."

"That's right..."

My master sighed: "The last time they came, they must have come just after the neighbor reported the case. It has been a while since now, and Jingzhe's parents are not at home. No one has repaired the water leakage problem. If there is really a problem with the house, the water would have flooded the house long ago and must have overflowed into the yard, but... do you see any signs of flooding in the yard?"

"Master, do you mean that the water is not normal?"

I was also attracted by his analysis and stopped asking other questions. After thinking carefully, I said, "It is not quite right. Our house was waterproofed last year. The one who did the waterproofing for us was Uncle Bing, an old craftsman who never made mistakes. It is impossible for the waterproofing to leak after only a few months. Moreover, this is our own house, not an apartment building outside. There is no water supply and drainage equipment, nor heating equipment. It is impossible for the ground to leak..."

My master nodded and squatted on the ground to observe the water more carefully: "In other words, this water is not leaking at all. Look, there is not much water. It looks like the floor has just been mopped, but it has not dried for several days..."

As he said that, my master turned his head and looked at Lao Bai: "Lao Bai, I heard that there is a skill to practice smell among the various arts? You should have practiced it too, right? Come over and smell this water to see if there is any strange smell?"

Lao Bai was not vague either, and bent down to smell it. As a result, he was middle-aged and fat, especially his buttocks, which were huge, so he was inevitably a little top-heavy. As soon as he bent down, he immediately lost his balance and almost fell on the ground. Fortunately, he supported himself with his hands in time and stabilized.

The water on the ground might be problematic. Lao Bai looked at his hands and his face turned pale: "Mr. Zhang, I won't die, will I?"

"No!"

My master smiled and said: "I just suspect that this water may have fallen from the things used to deal with Jingzhe's parents. It shouldn't be a big problem."

Lao Bai was more at ease, and half-doubtedly put his water-stained hands to the tip of his nose. I noticed that there were some subtle changes in his nose bridge, as if his bones were creeping.

Brother Yaozi said that this is called "seeking fragrance by usurping bones", which is a unique skill of Kapok among the various types.

The so-called Kapok refers to the doctors who used to treat people on the street. These people would go into the mountains to collect herbs, so their noses are particularly sensitive. This is also a boy's skill. It is said that it can change the structure of the nose, and the sense of smell is more sensitive than that of a dog. You can smell the smell of the herbs you are looking for from a long distance.

This is the first time I have seen Lao Bai use such a unique skill. He sniffed his hand again and again, with a strange look on his face, and said: "The smell is a bit strange, it seems to have a fishy smell, no, it is like the smell of algae, uh... why is it getting more and more smelly? Damn, who the hell farted!!"

I really didn't smell the fishy smell or algae he said, but I did smell the fart, it was too fucking smelly...

Lao Bai's sense of smell is now more sensitive than that of a dog. This fart is definitely a 10,000-point critical hit. His face turned pale and he trembled all over, as if he was about to suffocate.

"Sorry, I did it."

Brother Yaozi shrugged: "I ate too many eggs this morning..."

Lao Bai's nose quickly returned to normal, and he growled at Brother Yaozi with a ferocious face: "You didn't release it earlier or later, but you did it at this time. You must have done it on purpose!"

Brother Yaozi laughed, the answer was already obvious.

Lao Bai was furious, and was about to rush up to fight Brother Yaozi, but his steps suddenly stopped and he raised his hand quickly.

However, he saw that patches of red spots were rapidly appearing on his hands.

"It's so itchy!"

Lao Bai's hands kept shaking, just like cramps. He wanted to scratch it, but he didn't dare to. Cold sweat dripped down his forehead.

"It's true!"

My master was not surprised at all. Instead, he squinted his eyes slightly, as if thinking about something.

"Mr. Zhang, are you trying to trick me too?"

Lao Bai is not a fool. He blushed immediately after hearing this: "You knew that the water was wrong a long time ago, so why did you let me touch it?"

"I didn't ask you to touch it, I just asked you to smell it. Who knew you would fall down by yourself? I can only say... you really need to exercise."

My master shook his head. Seeing that Lao Bai was anxious, he comforted him: "Don't worry, no one will die."

After a pause, he gently pushed me: "Jingzhe, drop a drop of blood on Lao Bai's hand. What exactly killed your parents? I believe we will have the answer soon..."
