Chapter 30 The Growing Statue
If I hadn't lit up the fire when I burned the body, I wouldn't have found the crack in the wall, nor could I have found those green eyes.
"Look over there!" I raised my hand and pointed forward. The green eyes behind the slit disappeared. Chen Yun also saw the existence of the thing and shouted quickly, "What is it? Could it be the corpse leader?"
"Don't worry about his corpse, corpse ghost, look at Fatty, pull it out and spank!" Ge Zhuang rushed to the crack in the stone wall first, while raising his gun to point it at the crack. Before the person could enter, he pulled the trigger first.
After a "bang", the bullet accurately hit the crack in the stone wall and opened a big hole. When we looked closer in the hole with flying mud, we found that behind the hole was connected to this curved passage. The space was very deep and so dark that it was impossible to find the bottom.
"Sure enough, there is still a way out!" Chen Yun's eyes flashed, she said let's go, go up and take a look!
I hesitated for a while, pointed to the hole in my head and said, "Old Zhong and Gan Yong are both on it. Do you want them to come down too?" Chen Yun said yes, and I hurriedly shouted to Lao Zhong at the hole.
Old Zhong probably couldn't wait any longer. The firelight below lit up, illuminating the stone wall environment very clearly. He carried the rifle and placed it on his shoulder, drilled down along the hole, and then Gan Yong jumped down from the hole. The two of them ran to us quickly, "What's wrong, what's the discovery below?"
I pointed to the hole in front and said, "There is still a passage inside. I don't know where it can lead. Chen Yun plans to take us in and take a look. What do you think? Should you follow us to explore the way, or will you continue to stay and guard?"
Old Zhong said, let's go in together. There was nothing on it, only a few coffins left. He was so idle that he didn't fade out of the birds. Gan Yong and I had heavy firepower. When we entered the cave, we could still support you. Seeing that Gan Yong had no objection, I asked them to follow.
After continuing to walk through the tunnel for a long time, Gan Yong suddenly took out his compass, put it flat in his hand and looked at it for a while, and said to Chen Yun and I who were walking in front, "Two, we are crossing Tuofeng Mountain. Following this progress, we will continue to walk a few kilometers forward. It should be the underground of Laoyaogou."
After hearing this, I was overjoyed and said that sure enough, this cave should be related to the rumors of the corpse in the village that year. Maybe we can walk out of this cave without taking a long way, and we can appear in Laoyaogou directly. Gan Yong looked strange and shook his head and said nothing.
Lao Zhong touched his arm and said, "What are you thinking? Gan Yongcai preached, "I have grown up since I was a child and have never seen a similar cave before. It is very likely that this cave will cross Laoyaogou all the way. I don't know where it can go."
Chen Yun said, "The cracks here can cross the entire Tuofeng Mountain. Half of them are naturally formed, and the other half must be artificial. I guess it must be related to our ultimate goal. Perhaps we can directly find the Yanyang Girl's Sky without going through Laoyaogou."
Gan Yong said hope, this place is too evil. It’s better to complete the task early. I don’t want to stay for a second. The burden of life has crushed this revolutionary veteran who once fought bravely on the battlefield. He has not experienced revolutionary struggles for decades, and even he has become much timid.
Not far away, Ge Zhuang patted my shoulder, raised the flashlight and shot it deep in the cave, and said with a serious look on his face, "Little Pumpkin, there seems to be someone in front of me!"
This made my heart skip a beat. Everyone stopped nervously, looking at me, I looked at you, and then collectively turned their eyes to Ge Zhuang and said, "Did you see clearly?"
Ge Zhuang nodded, his tone was very confident, "You can't make a mistake. A shadow flashed just now. You may not have any idea."
Lao Zhong took off the rifle carried on his shoulder, held it carefully in his hand, and lowered his voice, "Whether it is a human or a ghost, you will know it when you go up and take a look. We are strong and we don't need to be timid."
"Okay!" I followed Lao Zhong's advice, and several big men rushed in front. With the shaking lightning, they quickly walked to the place where Ge Zhuang discovered the black shadow. This time, another strange statue appeared in front of us.
The statue is almost the same as what we saw outside. It only has a human outline, no nose or eyes, the facial features are not clearly depicted, and the hands and feet are very abstract. Chen Yun stared at the statue for a long time, but no conclusion was drawn. She frowned and said that she had never seen the statue before. Maybe it was the unique sculpture civilization of Yanyang Girl. Fatty, you have read it wrong, there was no figure at all.
Walking in a dim environment, the light in our hands is moving. The light beam shining on this statue may indeed cause a moving effect. Chen Yun is more willing to believe that the "silhouette" that Ge Zhuang just saw was because of the illusion caused by the floating light.
Ge Zhuang's tone was very sure and did not agree with her analysis. "No, I clearly saw a figure moving just now, it was not as simple as a fixed dead statue."
Chen Yun said that we had been walking for so long and didn't see anything moving. The so-called suspicion made a dark ghost. Perhaps it was because everyone was too nervous and didn't know how long the cave in front was, why don't everyone stop and rest?
After she reminded me, I remembered that I had not had a rest for a long time. Since I entered the dilapidated temple, we have been drilling into pits, first with an artificial river and then with nine coffins. I didn’t have time to stop and rest for a while, and my stomach was so hungry that I was beating.
After saying that, Chen Yun called everyone to sit on the ground, erected the flashlight to shine on the stone wall to remove the light, and distributed the food.
It was still a canned food. I was not used to it, so I ordered two compressed biscuits. Ge Zhuang ate very vigorously, chewing dry beef in his mouth, making a "paji" sound. I was annoyed and touched his arm and said, "Fatty, can you pay attention to your eating behavior, don't make such a big noise?"
Ge Zhuang was unhappy and said, "Don't blame a good person for wronging me." This sound was not made when I was chewing things."
Didn't he send it?
I immediately sat upright as I heard the "crack" sound coming from time to time in my ears. At this time, the sound similar to grinding my teeth became more and more obvious. I held up the flashlight and shone it around the statue. The lights were on the statue, and finally found the source of the sound.
The stone statue is moving!
This change is very subtle, but I can see it clearly. The statue is indeed moving. His hands and feet are slowly growing, and his facial features are slowly appearing on his empty face. First, a pair of eyes grew, followed by a nose, and then a mouth, like a piece of plasticine that was kneaded. In a blink of an eye, his facial features became clearer and clearer.
"Hurry up and put away the things!" I shouted and looked at me again. The statue grew faster and faster. Eyeballs slowly grew from the collapsed eye sockets. Eyeballs appeared little by little from the deepest part of the eye sockets. Edges began to appear on the smooth arms, and fingers grew from the broken palms.
My mind was blank. Could this statue have life?
