C411 What smell?
What does it smell like?
The smoke from the cooking was so strong that it made people yearn for it; the smoke from the cooking was so thick that it made people frightened.
In a house, there were only these two kinds of situations that people could see when there was smoke. The smoke from the cooking was sparse, and it slowly gave people a nice fragrance. The thick smoke billowed out like tidal waves as they knocked on the table.
However, at this very moment, in a dilapidated old house beside the old locust tree, next to the abandoned ancient well, a scene of 'thick smoke' was playing out. The scene seemed to be getting more and more intense. Yes, who has ever seen a cloud of smoke that can fill the entire street? Isn't that just 'getting stronger'?
"What is this smell?" Shi Haowen suddenly felt a strange smell around him, and it was getting stronger and stronger, so he subconsciously sniffed and asked.
"It doesn't have any taste!" Watching the excited guards at the side, who heard Shi Haowen's question, also took a sniff at it as well, before replying in confusion.
"Why not? There's a pungent, sour smell to it, and there's even a smell of urine. Why isn't it so obvious? Did none of you notice it?" Shi Haowen sniffed again, and expressed the smell he felt at the same time.
"Eh? If the Master Shi didn't tell us, we really wouldn't have noticed. The guard took another sniff at the surrounding air, and according to Shi Haowen's explanation, he carefully experienced it for a bit, before replying with slight excitement.
Shi Haowen suddenly had a feeling that the guards who were brought out were all brain-damaged. They said that they were 'pig-like teammates', and that they were probably insulting this monster. But at that moment, it was time for Shi Haowen to use his men. Even if they were all 'pigs', he would still have to bite the bullet and attack them.
Shi Haowen paused, he tried his best to calm his heart down, and asked the guard calmly: "Where did you find the firewood from?"
"It's around the corner of the street. That place is pretty well-hidden, I wonder who piled it up there!" The guard pointed at the alleyway on the corner of the street, which was already blurry, and explained with a serious expression.
"Ready wet firewood?" Shi Haowen asked with a different tone.
"How could that be possible? It hasn't rained for the past few days, so the firewood doesn't look good!" The guard shook his head and replied.
At that moment, he suddenly felt that these people were not all trash. Even if they were pig-like teammates, these pigs were not stupid, and were still the smartest kind of people. It seemed that even if the opponent was a godlike opponent, there was no need to worry about being scared.
Shi Haowen asked curiously with a hint of admiration: "Oh? It's not easy to find some water around here, but you guys managed to think of a solution so quickly! Not bad, not bad at all! "
"Thank you, Master Shi, for your praise! This little one will do my best! " The guard hastily cupped his hands together and replied.
"Where did you get the water?" Shi Haowen didn't know what was wrong with him, but by some strange coincidence, he suddenly asked a question. But after Shi Haowen thought about it, it should have been out of curiosity.
"Keep it safe. We've been holding this high quality rhubarb tea for the whole morning!" The guard answered with an excited expression. He pointed to the spot where the 'rhubarb tea' was' sprayed out 'as he spoke.
"You actually use urine? "Damn!" Shi Haowen hurriedly covered his nose, and when he thought about how he had sniffed so hard just now, he immediately felt like vomiting. His stomach churned, as if the food from seven days ago was about to be retched out from his intestines and large intestine.
If he could kill with just his eyes, Shi Haowen would absolutely kill this person in front of him with a hundred thousand arrows piercing his heart. If he could try again, Shi Haowen felt that there was absolutely no need to ask those final words.

At this moment, inside the house.
"Damn! Big brother, they're actually releasing smoke!" One of them swore, covering his mouth and nose with the sleeve of his elbow.
"Find something to block the door and windows, get some water, wet your clothes, cover your mouth and nose with a wet cloth, and then lie down on the ground! "Be quick!" The one called 'Big brother' ordered.
"Alright!" Everyone replied as they busied themselves with all sorts of preparations.
Although the few people in the room had handled it well, that was against the real 'smoke'. However, the smell of this' smoke 'was very strange ?
A quarter of an hour passed by in a flash.
"Damn, what is that smell!?" How disgusting! I can't even stand it anymore! " A person who was lying on the ground suddenly said. He was talking in grief and indignation while pretending that he was about to vomit.
"Damn it, it smells like urine. These bastards really deserved to die, they actually used such a mean move." Brother, let's rush out to fight them! " Another person covered his mouth and nose even more tightly as he suggested in a vague tone.
"All of you, behave yourself. They have the advantage of numbers. If you go out, that is the same as throwing your life away!" At this moment, the leader's face had turned green. It was unknown if he was feeling stifled or was fuming in such a manner. He shook his head and denied it.
Right now, they were guarding inside the house, and they might still have some strength left. If they were to rush out, perhaps one of them would face four or five enemies, and could very possibly be attacked from the back. It was only a matter of time before they were captured or killed.
"But aren't we turtles in jars now? If we get smeared by this smell again, we won't even need to fight it out before we'll faint! " The person who suggested this was still not giving up and continued to persuade him.
"That's right, big brother. Why don't we charge out and fight them!" The others couldn't stand the smell in the air either. It was like spending the night in a latrine, so they all agreed.
"Alright, go get the beast skins. Everyone put on a few more layers, we need to rush out!" Remember, when we scatter and escape, those who have escaped will immediately return to the base of the army and report to the general! Do you understand? " This time, the elder brother did not object. After pondering for a moment, he finally opened his mouth and slowly said.
The current situation was not optimistic. First, let's not talk about where the other party was from, just this battle and their posturing alone was enough to kill them all. The longer the fight dragged on, the worse it would be for them! If they lost their patience and set the house on fire, even if they had wings, they might not be able to fly out.
Since they could not wait, they could only take advantage of the fact that the other party was not ready and suddenly rush out, catching him by surprise, then break free from their weak point. As long as they entered the main street, burrowed into the crowd, these people would not dare to publicly chase after them even if they had the guts to take advantage of the chaos to escape out of the city and return to the base of the main force.
"Understood!" The few of them were all hot-blooded, so they immediately answered in unison.
"Alright, raider, prepare to move!" The big brother instructed.
? ?.
One group was busy releasing cigarettes, the other was busy preparing to break free, but what they didn't notice was that everything they did was being monitored by the third group.
In a small building not far from the scene, a man and a woman were gazing into the distance.
"Humph, the drama of biting the dog is pretty good!" After a long while, a lady wearing a light purple dress spoke.
"Isn't this the work of the hall master!? This will definitely be enough for them to drink! " The man at the side replied with a slight smile.
"These people really aren't afraid of being exposed. Making so much smoke and creating such a huge scene, aren't they afraid of people rushing over?" The woman said in disdain.
"Vice Pavilion Master, the smoke is too thick over there. Should we get the brothers closer?" The man at the side suggested.
"There's no need for that. Those Duke Palaces were just there for money, they wouldn't go all out against the other party! As for those people in the house, if they wish to break out of the encirclement, they might not be able to stop all of the guards in the mansion. All you need to do is to send people to guard the gates of each city. The woman smiled and waved her hand as she answered. At the same time, she also cautiously gave orders.
The city's roads, as well as the city gates, were all under their surveillance. No matter how big the smoke was, could it cover the entire city? As long as a person was able to escape from the smoke, they would be the first to be noticed. After that, it was enough to carefully follow the person and believe that no one could escape from the blockade of this kind of spy.
"Understood!" I'll go and arrange it right away! " The man bowed and accepted the order, then turned to leave.
"Come back, sister wants me to remind all of you to be careful. Since they are so meticulous in their actions, there must be a lot of hidden guards around. Be careful when following them!" "To be safe, we should first determine the general direction and location. We should send someone to check it later tonight!" The woman called out to the man, sternly warning him.
The biggest problem for them right now was not being able to determine the exact location of the other party's hiding place. If they could confirm the direction and approximate location, then it wouldn't be too difficult for them.
"Yes!" Just watch! I will never let this bunch of grandsons escape! " The man answered confidently.
"Alright, go and arrange it!" The woman waved her hand and ordered.
"Yes sir!" The man excitedly turned around and left.
At this moment, she was the only one left on the hidden building. She looked through the gap in the window with her burning gaze, looking at the farce that was happening not far away. Her cold smile expressed her disdain and contempt towards these people.
Indeed, she had the qualifications to look down on these people, because in her opinion, their methods were far too inferior, far too child's play, and completely unworthy of face. She disdained using this method, and even foresaw the final outcome of this farce!
The woman scoffed and muttered to herself, "This bunch of idiots, they were played around with by my sister just for a little trick, they are really useless!" No wonder it can only be used as a chess piece and be manipulated by others! "
Some people were lamentable because they didn't even have the will to be a chess piece. To become a chess piece without knowing anything was very likely because they were abandoned.
