Chapter 43: Searching for Fish in the Sand Sea (10)
"A thousand-year-old demon and a handsome son? I think I still prefer the gauze in my hand because it will keep your mouth shut and you won't make such nutritious jokes anymore. Meng Ruxue said and tapped Yang Yichen's head with her hand. Yang Yichen touched his head and sat aside boringly.
Izumi got up and gave everyone a general explanation of the current situation, and told everyone about his and Meng Ruxue's speculation. After getting everyone's unanimous approval, he pointed his fan in the direction of the ancient temple, the corners of his mouth raised, and his eyes flashed.
In this way, they followed Izumi and walked in the direction of the ancient temple again, and after walking for a while, they finally returned to the ancient temple again.
Meng Ruxue stood outside the ancient temple, looked up at the seemingly majestic and extraordinary temple building, and then looked back at the ancient buildings around it, and finally stopped on the statue in front of the building.
This desert building is rare, and there are only some buildings in this ancient temple.
But no matter how majestic this building is, it is still not as elaborate and detailed as these statues in front of this door, if they are just decorations, useless at all, it is too wasteful, right?
Thinking of this, Meng Ruxue couldn't help but walk to each building and carefully observe the sculptures in front of them. Izumi was also on her side, looking at the sculptures with her.
"Quansheng, come and see these sculptures, what do they have in common? Or what's different? β
Quan Sheng looked at these sculptures, turned the fan in his hand, pointed at this for a while, and pointed at that for a while, "Among them, there are those who hold the hammer of thunder, those who hold the cook, those who hold the grains, and those who hold spears and shields, those who represent light, those who represent violence, those who represent love, those who represent the sea, those who are married, those who are fire, those who are hunting, and those who are running......" Quan Sheng suddenly stopped when he said this, bit the fan lightly between his teeth, and suddenly showed a calm face.
"Do you understand something?" Meng Ruxue asked curiously.
Quan Sheng smiled slightly, "These sculptures have different forms, aren't they the characteristics of the twelve main gods of Greece depicted in the "Chronicles of Ancient Mythology"?" β
"The twelve main gods of Greece? But there are 13 statues here, and it seems that one of them must be an anomaly. Meng Ruxue laughed happily and poked her head at Quan Sheng again, "Quan Sheng must already know which of these 13 statues is the outlier of the fish and dragon, why don't you point it out for me, so that I can understand it thoroughly." β
"Miss Cher is so smart, how can she need me to point it out? You just need to move your little brain, and the answer is right in front of you? Quan Sheng smiled and patted Meng Ruxue's head twice with a fan, Meng Ruxue pouted at him, silently remembering what he had just said in his heart, and couldn't help but wrench his hand.
"Twelve, he just said twelve, so isn't the remaining one the statue of the fish?" Dream Ruxue was overjoyed and ran towards the thirteenth female sculpture holding a wine barrel.
She looked the sculpture up and down, left and right, and on top of the barrel held high by the female sculpture, she vaguely saw two air holes. She just wanted Quan Sheng to pick her up and carefully inspect the blowhole, but Yang Yichen suddenly rushed over, patted his hands, and motioned for him to come.
Yang Yichen picked up Meng Ruxue and lifted her high. Meng Ruxue looked at the air holes on the wine barrel, and touched the wine barrel with her handβit was painted with a paint similar to a stone carving, not the stone itself. She immediately tapped it with her hand, and there seemed to be an echo inside.
Meng Ruxue looked happy and shouted at them: "This is not a stone carving, it is an ordinary wine barrel!" There are also blowholes in this barrel, and there may be fish in it! β
"What?!"
With this shout, Ye Xingyue, who was already injured, ran to the statue restlessly and slashed the wine barrel with a knife. The fish inside fell out.
"It's fish! It's really fish! Or live fish! Meng Ruxue happily crouched in front of the live fish and poked their bodies with her hand.
But her smile didn't last long, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. Because she suddenly found that even though they had five live fish, the fish were of different sizes and weights, and one of the conditions for judging the balance was that the weight on both sides should be exactly the same.
"The weight of this fish is different, what can I do?" Meng Ruxue suddenly panicked and sat there helplessly.
It was only then that she suddenly understood why the receptionist would tell her that in addition to strength, brain and luck are also important. Isn't this fish just luck? It was they who were drawn after carrying the luck.
However, even if she was drawn, she would never admit defeat and never believe that she could not turn the tables. After all, man will win the day, she believes that fate can be changed, even if it is as weak as a poultry, a swoop can also scare people to the ground.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but hold the hem of her skirt hard, her upper teeth bit her lower lip, and her brain spun rapidly.
The others also thought of their own ways and fell into a deep thought.
At this moment, Demon Xiao and Demon Eye appeared in front of their eyes. The Demon Eye held Mo Xiao's hand, rushed over in the direction of Meng Ruxue, and begged her: "Miss Meng, Mo Xiao's hand was injured by a rope when he saved you, you can give her an injection for tetanus, I'm afraid that it will be infected." β
"I want to give her a call too, but the medicine in my box is all gone, and I have nothing but this half roll of gauze and a few scattered syringes." When Meng Ruxue said this, her eyes suddenly widened, and her joy was overflowing.
"yes, why didn't I think of that? This exam is not limited to means, time, and methods, so I shouldn't go to the normal method from the beginning, and I don't compromise the means, that's right. Meng Ruxue muttered to herself, suddenly took out a syringe from the medical box, stood under the half of the wine barrel, and shouted to Yang Yichen: "Yang Yichen, you find something that can hold water, and then pick me up." β
"Can it hold water?" Yang Yichen glanced at it roughly, and it didn't seem that there was anything that could hold water. Nightwalking Moon walked up to him and handed him the flask bottle he had just used. After a brief thank-you greeting, he handed the bottle to Meng Ruxue's hand.
Meng Ruxue took the bottle and asked Yang Yichen to hug her. She sucked up the remaining water from the half-barrel and filled it into the bottle with a syringe. Then he picked two of the five fish that were closest in size and ran towards the central temple with one hand.
The others followed her and ran in the direction of the temple.
