Chapter 515 The smell of blood

In the evening, Deng Jiaxing came in carrying two baskets of vegetables.

Jiang Yu was plucking chicken feathers with Yi Chi at the faucet in the yard. Yi Chi said that Jiang Yu was too strong. Although it seemed that she could pluck the chicken feathers quickly, the black tube behind the feathers was still on the flesh and was not clean. So he would not let her do it and insisted on cleaning it slowly himself.

Deng Jiaxing greeted them when he saw them and waved the basket in his hand, "I got you some seasonal vegetables. The tomatoes are delicious now, sour, sweet and juicy."

"Xue Li knows how to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Go in and tell her to make some scrambled eggs for dinner." Jiang Yu pointed to the living room and told him to do as he pleased.

"Okay." Deng Jiaxing smiled, as if he was very happy to be able to eat the food cooked by Xue Li.

After Yi Chi could no longer see anyone, he asked her quietly, "Do you think Deng Jiaxing is a good person?"

"Whether it's good or not, my opinion doesn't count. It depends on Xue Li's own choice." Jiang Yu squatted down and helped Yi Chi push back the hair hanging on his forehead.

Yi Chi felt her fingertips brushing across his forehead, and his heartbeat quickened, but he remained calm and said, "I always thought that Xue Li and Chen Jinghan would end up together, but I didn't expect that they would break up because of Lin Anna. Shouldn't that kind of person help them to make their relationship even deeper?"

"There is no such thing as absolute, and emotional matters are hard to predict. If the other person makes you feel uncomfortable, ending it is a good choice." Jiang Yu tilted his head to look at Yi Chi. Although this guy seemed to be cleaning the chicken very seriously, his ears were red and it was obvious that he was not calm at all.

The man bit his lip, then asked her in a low voice, "Do I make you feel uncomfortable?"

"That's definitely not the case, otherwise I would have left long ago." Jiang Yu patted his head, giving him reassurance.

Yi Chi's eyes curved into crescent shapes, and he was obviously very happy.

During dinner, Xue Li told Deng Jiaxing the location of the small courtyard he had bought in the afternoon, and asked him to help check if there were any other problems later.

Deng Jiaxing paused for a moment while picking up the food, and asked her why she bought another house.

Xue Li explained that because the college entrance examination was resumed too suddenly, there were not enough dormitories in major universities, so the schools that allow them to attend school as a day student would allow them to go, but everyone would be responsible for their own safety issues.

Deng Jiaxing nodded. "Well, I'll go back and ask for you when you plan to move in."

"I have to move in by the time school starts the day after tomorrow at the latest, otherwise it will be very troublesome to go to classes later." Xue Li scratched her head. She also felt that she was too careless in this matter. If time was not urgent, she would not have tried all kinds of desperate measures and bought someone else's house without even doing a background check.

Is there something wrong with that house? Yes, there is.

The next day, Jiang Yu and a few others drove Wu Aiqing to the school dormitory. After a simple packing, everyone went to the small courtyard together.

The courtyard does look very clean and comfortable, and it is only 10 minutes away from the university where Xue Li attends, so it is very convenient.

When Jiang Yu came here, he also noticed that the infrastructure here was quite complete. The supply and marketing cooperative, state-owned restaurant and police station were all not far away, so daily living should be no problem.

But after entering the courtyard, she felt something was wrong.

"Why does this room seem to smell like blood?" She had just smelled chicken blood yesterday, and the memory was still fresh in her mind. Before entering the house, she thought that the neighbors nearby were killing chickens and eating the meat, but now the smell of blood was becoming more and more obvious. It must be coming from this yard.

Xue Li said "Fuck" and looked at Jiang Yu in shock, "No way?" Did I buy a haunted house?

It turns out to be scarier than a haunted house!

Ginger Fish smelled the blood and began to search everywhere.

Yi Chi and Wu Aiqing followed her, fearing that once she found the place, there would be some weird things hidden inside.

Finally, in the woodshed in the backyard, Jiang Yu shoveled all the weeds aside and found a cellar door.

The smell of blood came from there.

"Xue Li, go call the police first." Jiang Yu didn't hear any movement inside, but the smell of blood here was too bad. Even other people smelled a smell like rotten food. Although it was not strong, it was still scary.

Xue Li was so frightened that he almost ran out of the door with his hands and feet trembling.

When she saw Grandma Wang from next door on the road, she didn't even bother to say hello and stumbled towards the police station at the corner of the alley.

Yi Chi pulled Jiang Yu back two steps, away from the cellar, and fanned her, "Don't get too close."

Jiang Yu didn't refute, but took two steps back and stood outside the woodshed with them.

Wu Aiqing frowned and checked the surroundings, but the place was very clean, with only some small clods of earth on the ground, and there was nothing unusual at all.

Deng Jiaxing told Xue Li yesterday that he had visited nearby residents and found out that there were two fathers and sons living here. The son had indeed been admitted to a university in City B, and it was University B, so it was quite normal for the father to say that he wanted to accompany his son to study. As for the shameless relatives, there were some, but as long as someone was sent over to scare them, they would definitely not dare to cause trouble.

I thought it was safe, but when people arrived, I found that it was far from that simple.

"I hope it's just a false alarm." Wu Aiqing didn't notice anything unusual, walked to Jiang Yu and whispered.

"Of course." Jiang Yu also hoped that there was nothing, or there was only a dead chicken in the cellar. Of course, it would be best if there was no danger.

The policeman quickly accompanied Xue Li back. When the people nearby saw the police, their eyes lit up and they came over curiously.

Xue Li directly bolted the door from the inside and didn't let them stick their heads in to watch the fun.

The policeman walked to the woodshed and saw the three young men looking at the wooden door with serious faces. He smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. Go to your room and rest first. Let us do the inspection."

Upon seeing this, Jiang Yu and the other two turned to look at Xue Li. Seeing that she had scared herself and her face had turned pale, they decided to accompany her into the house and wait for the result.

After the cellar door was opened, the smell of blood became stronger and the stench rushed straight to his head. The leading policeman almost vomited and quickly turned his head and hid aside to take a deep breath.

"Go in later and wait for the smell to dissipate a bit."

Jiang Yu sat in the room and still smelled the stench at the back. He frowned and said, "If it doesn't work, you should stay at my place for the next period of time."

"It's okay. It's not possible here. I'll live in a villa farther away. I just need to catch the bus, which is a little troublesome." Xue Li waved his hand. It would take more than an hour to get here from Jiang Yu. It was too far and inconvenient.
