Chapter 11: Discovery
When he approached the black shadow three meters away, he could be regarded as a long distance to see it.
It turned out that the black shadows were just life-size statues, and they were all located in a circle, forming a group of statues around a statue standing alone in the middle.
Although they were just statues, I didn't dare to get closer to see them for a while, because the presence of several statues in such a cave would inevitably give people a strange feeling.
For the sake of safety, I stood by with a fire fold and deliberately observed for a while, and only after confirming that there was no danger did I slowly approach the statue.
I walked in and felt even weirder.
The statues in a circle are all in a pose, each in a jar the size of a water tank, with the upper body exposed to the mouth of the tank, holding a stick high in the right hand, and holding the mouth of the tank with the left hand, not knowing what they are doing.
I wanted to see which dynasty these statues belonged to from in terms of clothing, but the upper body of these statues was not clothed at all, so I had to carefully walk through the group of statues to see the statue standing in the middle.
As I walked sideways past these statues, the fire fold in my hand inadvertently shook the faces of these statues, and at this glance, my scalp went numb.
Because it's like playing tricks on others in the dark when I was a child, suddenly shining a flashlight on my jaw, because of the refraction and shadow effect of the flashlight light on people's faces, I will look very scared. But as long as you stare at him carefully for a while, you will no longer be afraid when your brain reacts.
So, I closed my eyes and tried to calm myself down, and I told myself repeatedly that it was just a horrible image that was caused by poor lighting or close proximity.
When I had come to my senses, I reluctantly slowly moved my gaze to the faces of the statues again, and who would have thought that this time my nerves tensed again.
The faces of these statues were carved into a terrified and hideous appearance, with their eyes wide open and their mouths wide open, and their entire faces looked completely deformed, as if they had been frightened in a terrible way.
Standing in front of these horrible statues, I should have quickly avoided them, but when I looked at them, my expression froze there, and I suddenly had a feeling that seemed very familiar, but for a moment I couldn't figure it out.
After a moment of distraction, I shook my head sensibly, forcing myself not to look at these strange things, and simply walked through the perimeter of the statue group by looking down at my toes, so as not to lose time by wandering again.
The statue in the middle was not far from the outer statue group, only a few steps or so, but it had suffered a sudden startled loss just now, so this time it cautiously moved closer while observing.
Fortunately, there is nothing strange about this statue, it is an ordinary portrait of a person, the size of a real person, dressed very specially, and the clothes are covered like red threads.
With its hands crossed in front of its abdomen, it made a posture of looking up at the sky, and from its coiled bun and delicate figure, it was a female statue.
My eyes wandered to its wind-swept garment, and I wondered: What dynasty was this? It is said that the costumes of the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties have their own characteristics, basically I can tell at a glance what dynasty it is, but for the set of clothes in front of me that I have never seen before, I can't tell its age at all.
I raised the fire fold to look at its face up close, and saw a very peaceful look, and at the same time I also found that the carving lines and delicacy of this statue are completely different from those of the outer groups, and the carving technique is definitely called the upper level of craftsmanship, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as lifelike, and the whole statue is like a fairy descending to earth under the flickering firelight.
I think this stone statue must be a rich or noble figure in terms of carving techniques and demeanor, but who is she? Why is it here? Why is there a bunch of people surrounding her?
My brain was racing through my knowledge base.
Just as I was deep in thought, my scalp suddenly exploded as I saw something slowly moving behind the statue.
Could it be Liangzi? If not, what the fuck would it be?
I didn't care so much, and with trembling legs, I approached the back of the stone statue step by step!
After reaching a certain safe distance from the stone statue, I didn't dare to move forward any further, and called softly: "Liangzi? ”
"Uh-huh......" A faint answer that was barely audible rang in my ears.
I was immediately ecstatic, ran behind the stone statue, took advantage of the firelight to look at it, and then broke out in a cold sweat!
I saw Liang Zi covered in blood, sitting on the back of the stone statue, his head hanging weakly, the contents of the backpack scattered beside him, and the gauze stained red with blood tied to his thighs, which seemed to be some simple bandaging measures made by himself in a hurry.
I quickly helped Liang Zi to sit down, and then checked Liang Zi's injury, and only then did I know that Liang Zi had more than one wound on his leg, and the wound seemed to be caused by some bite, and the injury was very serious.
At this time, Liang Zi had entered a coma due to excessive blood loss.
I quickly found a bandage and helped him re-bandage.
Although I don't know what Liang Zi has just experienced, I think that since he chose to bandage his wound here, it must be safe here for the time being, and then I took out the kettle and fed Liang Zi some water, anti-inflammatory, and painkillers.
I also ate something casually, snuggled up with Liang Zi, and fell asleep in a daze.
When I woke up, Liang Zi was still unconscious leaning on my shoulder, so in order to make him recover better, I removed my backpack and used it as a pillow for him, and let him lie in the open space behind the stone statue.
Since my watch was thrown away in the water to find directions, I removed the watch strap from Liangzi's wrist and put it on myself in order to keep track of time, because I already had a bold plan at this point!
