After meeting up with Xiao Wu, we followed the undercurrent down. This undercurrent was as clear as a stream in a mountain stream. We could actually see some plants with yellowish-white leaves, which were caused by not seeing sunlight for a long time.
.There are no fish or shrimps in the river. Even if there are any, they should be hidden deeper. I don’t know where the current leads. Since it is living water with a wide flow, there must be fish.
The situation was worse than I thought. The road ended not far before me, but the water did not end, but flowed into a stone crevice. It was a horizontal stone crevice, and it was completely submerged by the water.
Maybe there is space deeper down, but we simply don't dare to take that risk.
We looked at the stone wall, which was dozens of meters high. It was full of large and small gaps, the thin ones were only as thick as chopsticks, and the widest one was more than two meters wide.
"The situation is not bad, we can climb up along the gap." The fat man said.
Xiao Wu showed hesitation and couldn't help but said: "Is it really feasible?"
"The boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge, and there will be another village with bright flowers and willows! At present, we only have this way, unless we go back again, but it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the final result may not be better than here. It's just that kid Xiaoliu
…”
When it came to Xiaoliu, everyone was silent. I looked at Xiaowu and asked him what he thought. After all, Xiaoliu had the best relationship with him. Xiaowu looked very embarrassed, and after thinking for a while, he faced me and said:
"Actually, all of us were mentally prepared for this kind of thing when we came here. We can't blame anyone for this matter. Young prince, it's your decision. When we came, the lady said that we should listen to you in everything."
Only now do I understand how difficult it is to be a leader, especially to be a leader with conscience, because sometimes some decisions are not so easy to make. After thinking about it for a long time, I finally made a very difficult decision:
"Let's go, for all of us."
We climbed up the stone wall with our bare hands. The gaps on it were crisscrossed, and it was not very difficult to climb up. We slowly approached the largest gap, which was horizontal and ran through the entire stone wall. It was as high as
It is more than two meters long, allowing us to walk upright inside easily.
The four people climbed up one after another, only to find that the gap was only four or five meters deep, and became narrower as we went in. At the deepest point, people could no longer get in. But we could walk sideways, and the gap went straight into the smooth rock wall next to it.
In the middle, the darkness inside is unknown how deep it is.
Soon we arrived at the stone wall on the left, only to find that this stone wall was not connected to ours. There was a straight gap three feet wide in the middle. No wonder the gap on the stone wall here could penetrate deep into it.
When we walked in, it felt like a cave. Not only did the gap not get smaller as we walked in, but it became wider and higher. The stone wall on the opposite side was as straight as a knife as always, and it looked deeper when we looked down.
Bottomless, deep and dark, as if connected to hell, it makes people's minds sway.
After walking about fifty meters, the sharp-eyed fat man suddenly screamed: "Look, look in front of you, there is something."
In the darkness at the end of the light ahead, there were two black figures standing there quietly. Although they could not be seen clearly, the outlines were definitely human.
"What is that? Could it be..."
"It can't be a ghost, right?" I interrupted the fat man and gave him a hard look. I knew that was what he meant when he opened his mouth. "Don't make such nonsense, you haven't seen anything.
Maybe, maybe it’s a human being.”
"Shit, who would come here and stand motionless without any trouble? That must be a ghost."
"Do ghosts just like to run to places like this and stand motionless? Well, let's not scare ourselves. We must go this way. Let's go and test it out first." I took the lead and walked forward.
The closer you get, the clearer the outline becomes. They are indeed two human figures, but I don't understand why they stand there motionless.
As if they were afraid that I was in danger, Fatty and the others quickly followed up. The old lame man looked very casual, although his eyes were a little uncertain, but he didn't show much worry. Xiao Wu's face was a little worried, but his actions were very brave.
, and soon reached the front.
I looked at the fat man and was a little speechless. This guy looked like a ghost who had entered the village. He hunched his waist, stuck out his butt, and turned around every step of the way, as if he was afraid that the two black figures would suddenly come over and pull him away.
Same.
When we were about twenty meters away from the black shadow, we stopped. The four of us looked at each other and stared at each other for a long time. Then they all uttered a curse word: "Damn, it's actually a stone statue."
.”
After saying this, I couldn't help laughing. I was really scaring myself, and I thought the two stone statues were ghosts. But it's no wonder, who would have thought that there would be two statues in the crevices of the rock wall.
"What do you think? There are stone statues here, which is really weird. It seems that we didn't see any traces of anyone's activity when we came here, right?" I asked.
The three of them all nodded and each gave some of their own opinions. The fat man said: "Perhaps someone came over and made two statues to play with when they had nothing to do!"
"Maybe you are the only one who is so boring." I rolled my eyes at him and turned to the old cripple: "Old Yan, you are experienced. Please tell me what is going on."
Lao Yan smiled and said: "I am guessing one thing. This stone statue will not be placed here for no reason. It must have a purpose. From their existence alone, there have been activities here, but we are here
There are no traces left on the road, which means there must be other passages ahead, and I think we are going to the right place."
My eyes couldn't help but light up. This is indeed the truth. We have been struggling to find the way. If it is what the old cripple said, it would be great.
We quickly walked to the two statues. They were guarding both sides of the passage with weapons in their hands like guards. I don’t know how many years have passed, but they are still very well preserved, except for some spots on their bodies.
We didn't waste too much time on them, but soon after passing through the stone statues, we encountered two more, exactly the same as the ones we saw before, about twenty meters apart from each other.
"It seems that this place should have been a relatively important place at that time. Let's walk slower and see if there is anything else around. Logically speaking, there should be more than just statues here." The old cripple said slowly.
I deeply believe that, I have experienced this kind of thing quite a lot. Any statue that appears in a tomb must be a very important place. In the eyes of the ancients, important places naturally need to be guarded by people, not living people.
Naturally, they were replaced by statues or pottery figurines.
