Chapter 25: The Statue

The Dragon King Temple in the night was like a hairy old dog lying on its stomach, Yan Yu and Lin Xiaoyu came to the front and found that the temple door was locked!

For the villagers, this is disrespectful to the Dragon King, but in order to save the Dragon King Temple from destruction, they can't care so much.

Yan Yu didn't pay attention to this, stepped forward to take a look, and said to Lin Xiaoyu: "Find a stone and smash the lock." ”

Lin Xiaoyu had set fire to the temple, not to mention smashing the lock, he immediately found a stone to take advantage of, and clicked a few times, but the lock didn't move at all!

Yan Yu's shoulder was injured and he couldn't use his strength, this kind of rough work could only be done by Lin Xiaoyu, Lin Xiaoyu was not a person who gave up easily, he smashed more than a dozen times one after another, the lock didn't move, but the tenon was loose!

Lin Xiaoyu pulled out the entire tenon and iron lock together, and then entered the door.

The petite Lin Xiaoyu showed such a violent side, and Yan Yu was also a little stunned, and the latter urged: "Do you think that the farm work at home is done for me by the gods?" ”

Yan Yu also laughed, Mo saw that Lin Xiaoyu was not big, but this was a respectable mother who pulled two children alone!

Entering the temple, Yan Yu used a flashlight to look around, because Lin Xiaoyu had let go of a fire earlier, in order to facilitate repairs, all the things that could be moved in the temple were moved, and the statue of the Dragon King on the main hall was left.

This saves a lot of effort, but the main hall is empty, and there are strong bluestone bricks under the feet.

Lin Xiaoyu was also a little disappointed, and cast an inquiring glance at Yan Yu, as if to say, where to look?

Yan Yu followed Zhang Gulin to explore the water for a long time, and saw that there were a lot of tools piled up in the corner of the wall, so he picked a steel drill, knocked around, and found that there was no secret pavilion on the four walls, and Zhao Jianghai estimated that he would not hide the child in it.

These bluestone bricks are very old, but they are thick and strong, the sound is dull, and there are no hollow mechanisms.

Yan Yu thought for a while, and said to Lin Xiaoyu: "Pry open all the floor tiles and take a look." ”

"Both...... Pry it all open? Lin Xiaoyu's eyes were full of disbelief.

Although her strength is not small, and the main hall is not too big, but the bluestone bricks are very heavy, and it is not too difficult to move them all with her strength alone, but if she wants to get them all out, the workload is also very huge, after all, there are dozens of bluestone bricks.

But after thinking about it, this is the only way to find the child, it is better to work hard than to do nothing, so Lin Xiaoyu gritted his teeth and started.

Yan Yu wanted to help, but after trying it, he couldn't use his strength at all.

Although it was a puncture wound and did not require surgery to remove the bullet, the wound in the shoulder socket had just been sutured, and I was afraid that it would tear again if I used too much force.

Not to mention, just said that he used the steel drill, and at this time, there were already bright red blood stains oozing out of the bandage.

Lin Xiaoyu pouted his buttocks, pried open the floor tiles with a steel drill, and then laboriously moved them out, and there was no quiet temperament in the past.

Yan Yu was not idle, walked out of the main hall, and began to observe the surrounding environment.

Yan Yu doesn't know the art of feng shui, but it is said that temples are usually built on high places, and the dragon lord is also a god after all, and he must be high above and overlook the common people.

But this dragon king temple is in the mountain col, as if it is avoiding the punishment of heaven, just like a little fairy in a corner of peace, only relying on the support of the small village of Laohebao, surviving for a long time, and not having the lofty ambition of being in the immortal class.

Yan Yu walked around, and he didn't find much, in comparison, although the surface here is wetter than other places, but after all, it is the bottom of the mountain col, which is also a normal phenomenon.

"Is it really wrong?" Yan Yu inevitably had some self-doubt.

But when he looked back, he saw Lin Xiaoyu struggling to move out the floor tiles one by one, and he completely dispelled this idea.

On the road just now, Lin Xiaoyu told the story of Zhao Jianghai in detail.

He also explored the water back then, but no one knew the details, but he wanted to burn the temple, not just to vent his anger, because according to Lin Xiaoyu's understanding of her husband, he was an extremely forbearing person, and he would never do such a thing.

Then there is only one conclusion left, maybe he found a water source here in the Dragon King Temple, but Qin Dayou and others did not allow Zhao Jianghai to dig here in order to protect the feudal superstitious temple.

This is also one of the reasons why Yan Yu feels that he and Zhao Jianghai are all the way.

Because Yan Yu also believes that if a water source can be found nearby, Qinjiaao, where the Dragon King Temple is located, is definitely the best place, and even Zhang Gulin agrees with this opinion.

Because this is a low-lying valley, where the water meets.

At the beginning, Yan Yu also thought about exploring the water here, but Qin Dayou flatly refused, and even threatened to drive Yan Yu away.

Qin Dayou did not let the villagers assist Yan Yu in digging a cave to find a water source, and he wanted to teach Yan Yu a lesson.

As for what happened between these villagers led by Zhao Jianghai and Qin Dayou, whether Qin Dayou and others would be the culprits of Zhao Jianghai's disappearance for many years, there is no time to delve into it now.

But this place has the most to do with Zhao Jianghai, there is no doubt about it.

According to this line of thought, this is the best place for Zhao Jianghai to hide his child, and there should be no big doubts.

Thinking of this, Yan Yu didn't wander outside, walked to the main hall, and gave Lin Xiaoyu a hand.

Although his hands were handcuffed and his body was injured, with the help of tools, he could help somewhat.

The two of them have been busy for a long time, and they have rested a few times in the middle, and Lin Xiaoyu, who is extremely sleepy, even squinted and slept for a while.

By the time they removed all the tiles, it was already lit up, and they had finally moved the tiles all night!

"We've got to hurry......"

It should have been a break, but there was no time.

Wang Guoqing may have already discovered that Yan Yu had "escaped", and the search and rescue team and villagers were still inspecting the caves that Yan Yu had marked.

If Meng Jiefang and Qin Dayou mobilized the villagers to hunt down Yan Yu, I believe they would soon chase after him.

After the floor tiles were lifted, the ground under their feet was very wet and soft, and Yan Yu and Lin Xiaoyu were also a little excited, because the surface of such a wet and soft ground was very abundant!

Yan Yu used steel drills to weave around, leaving round holes in the wet and soft ground, but there was no such thing as an underground entrance.

Lin Xiaoyu also used other tools to dig the soil, but unfortunately he checked the ground of the entire hall, but he still found nothing.

"No ......" Lin Xiaoyu, who had been tired all night, finally couldn't hold on, and sat on the ground with a hollow gaze.

Yan Yu also sat down, and was about to comfort him, but a voice came from outside the door!

"Anyone? Who's in it? ”

Yan Yu suddenly flicked up, but the voice was very familiar, so familiar that he was a little excited!

"Is it Professor Zhang? I'm Yan Yu! ”

Zhang Gulin was also stunned, walked in quickly, grabbed Yan Yu's wrist, but quickly let go again, and subconsciously took two steps back.

"Why are you kid hiding here, you're crazy when you're looking for you outside!"

Before Yan Yu could explain, Zhang Gulin had already noticed the change in the environment, glanced around, and then squatted down, grabbed the soil and twisted it.

"This ...... This water is so abundant, I'm afraid there is water underground! ”

He is an extremely experienced old expert, and as soon as this sentence is spoken, the weight is needless to say.

Originally, he was still afraid that Yan Yu was a "fugitive", but at this time, he completely forgot about it, picked up a short-handled shovel from the ground, searched for it, and selected a pit that Lin Xiaoyu had dug up, and dug it with a shovel.

He kept checking the excavated soil, then pushed his glasses and excitedly said to Yan Yu, "Yan Yu! You've made it, there's water in the ground! There is water! ”

Lin Xiaoyu also bounced, because her husband said that there is water to live, and the child is afraid that he is really hidden here!

But looking around, the hall is empty, it is not too much to say that it is three feet into the ground, there is no cellar in the secret pavilion, where can the child hide?

She looked at Yan Yu, Yan Yu also looked at her, the two looked at each other, Yan Yu suddenly trembled, and suddenly turned his head towards the statue of the Dragon King!

"It's the only place that hasn't been checked!"

Yan Yu's hands trembled with excitement, walked to the statue, took a good look, and then knocked on the statue, making the sound of "Bu Bu Bu".

"It's a hollow statue of clay!"

"Can hide people!" Hearing that it was a hollow statue of clay skin, Lin Xiaoyu's first reaction was that there were people in it!

She snatched the steel drill from Yan Yu's hand and was about to crack open the clay skin of the statue, but Yan Yu hurriedly stopped her.

"Be careful, don't hurt the child."

Lin Xiaoyu put down the steel drill, tapped the statue with his knuckles, and shouted through the statue: "Big double!" Little Shuang! Are you in there! It's a mother! Mother is looking for you! ”

Shouting and shouting, but there was no response inside, Lin Xiaoyu's tears that had dried up for two days and two nights finally poured out again.

Zhang Gulin turned from the surprise of discovering the water source to the confusion.

He knew that the child was missing, and he helped find the child, but he was a scientist, looking at Lin Xiaoyu, a desperate mother, and calling the child's name to the statue.

No matter how you look at it, it's a sad, confusing and lamentable thing.

Yan Yu walked to the pile of tools, rummaged for a while, and finally found a small hammer in his hand, and said to Lin Xiaoyu: "Use this, knock it carefully." ”

Although it is a hollow statue of mud skin, the mud skin is still very thick, and the children inside will be injured with a steel drill, and this small hammer is not very powerful, but it is safer in the end.

Of course, this is only Yan Yu's preliminary speculation, and whether the child is hidden in it is not too conclusive.

However, this is the closest we have come to finding the child since the two days and two nights of searching!

Lin Xiaoyu wiped away his tears, raised a hammer and knocked it down, and a large piece of the painted paint of the statue was knocked off, revealing the white inner tube, and it took several more knocks before the inner tube was slowly cracked open, and there was still a layer inside, which was made of broken wood chips and Guanyin mud and other things "concrete".

"Wait!"

Yan Yu made Lin Xiaoyu stop.

"If the child was really hidden inside, how did Zhao Jianghai put the child in?"
