Chapter 47: The Narrative of the Stone Wall (Part II)
The third master also found out, and ordered everyone to slow down the boat, and turned on the flashlight to look at the wall. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Since some of the ashes have not completely receded, it is not clear at first, and it vaguely seems to be a painting of many people, all kneeling on the ground, facing in one direction, as if they are worshipping. But what is worshipped is completely obscured by the ashes, and it is impossible to distinguish.
A man is then present, appearing in a study-like room (because of the shelves painted on the wall), as if looking up information. Then another person appeared, again in the same study, sitting at the ends of a table, with their heads bowed, looking at a map or a book on the table, pointing and drawing.
Then, again, the same man from before, he crossed a big mountain, and there was water in the mountain, and this man got a boat out of nowhere, and he took a boat over, and when he came out, there was a big square box on the bow of the boat.
Seeing this, I was stunned, isn't this the story of the spider cave, composed of hundreds of meteorites and power grids? At the time, I felt that this story was incomplete, and that it was certainly not the beginning or the end, but now the carvings on the stone walls just confirmed my suspicions.
The third master was next to me, and I didn't dare to be too excited, so I could only hold back my patience and be full of questions, and then look down.
Below is a bazaar, with many large iron cages, stacked on top of each other, and there are very many of them. The author of the stone painting uses an infinitely extended expressive technique, the further back he paints, the smaller and denser the cage becomes, meaning that there are many more behind, endless.
I took advantage of the hull of the ship to get closer to the stone wall and looked closely, and the cage seemed to be a monkey, but it was larger than a monkey, and its limbs were longer than that of a monkey, especially the legs, which was probably a rare species.
The monkeys are very realistically depicted and take a variety of forms, some holding their heads in their hands and curling up between their knees; Some reached out and grabbed the iron cage, or stared eagerly, or eagerly looked at the outside world; Others hunched their backs and lay in cages, leaving only a thin back...... All in all, it looks very pitiful. If the author of the stone painting wanted to convey a feeling of involuntary sorrow, he did it, and he did it well.
It seems that this is a monkey market, and the man is standing in front of the iron cage, and there is a nodding vendor next to him, obviously, they are making a deal.
I was about to look behind me at the next painting, when Ah Li on the boat behind me suddenly took a breath, my heart sank, and I hurriedly turned on the light, thinking that the sixth son had bullied her again.
At this time, Ah Li stared at the painting just now, covered her mouth with her hand and said, "Oh my God, these are children...... They are selling child labor! ”
I casually looked at each other with the third master, and from his eyes, I could see that he was the same as me, and he didn't notice this, and then looked at Ah Li together. At this time, Achen in the front boat shouted vigorously to stop the boat, and the two boats behind us also stopped, stopping in front of the stone wall with a large iron cage painted on it.
"Child labor? How can you tell if they are child laborers? I look like a baby monkey! Liuzi's chin has been changed with gauze, but his voice is a little strange, he can't open his mouth, and he is a little runny.
Ah Li glanced at him, tilted his head to look at the stone wall and said, "Didn't you see that the child was still wearing a Mid-Autumn Festival sachet?" ”
When everyone heard this, they immediately followed Ah Li's gaze, and sure enough, in the second cage stacked from the bottom to the top in the first row, they saw a very inconspicuous sachet hanging on the child's chest.
The reason why it is inconspicuous is that one of the child's hands happened to be grasping his face, as if he was crying and wiping tears, and the painting was painted from a side angle, so that his arm was just against the sachet, and only one of the corners was exposed. If it weren't for Ali's careful heart, who would have found out?
Liuzi was very unconvinced, and deliberately found fault and said: "His mother's sachet is a sachet, why do you say it's the Mid-Autumn Festival?" ”
Ali gave him another blank look, as if the question wasn't worth mentioning at all. Actually, I don't understand this question, and the other people present don't understand either, they're all waiting for a stupid hat to shoot the first shot, hey, I didn't expect it, there really is this stupid hat.
Ah Li pursed her lips and was about to explain, at this time, the yellow witch on the boat in front couldn't sit still, probably to see Ah Li in the limelight alone, she was also a woman, and her face was a little unbearable, after all, these details can't be found by men, it all depends on the woman's meticulous and meticulous observation, not to mention that she is a professional Tufuzi, when she arrives here, it is to her territory, and it is her housekeeping skill to find ancient tombs, whether it is to decide whether she eats meat or soil this month, how can she let Ah Li snatch it? Then how can she mess up here with the third master?
Therefore, he intercepted the words of the sixth son and said: "It is not difficult to see that you look at the moon above the iron cage, round as a pot lid, if it is not for the Mid-Autumn Festival, where would there be such a round bright moon?" Of course, not only this, but also look at the clothes worn by the vendor, although it is a robe, the thickness is difficult to distinguish, but when he stuffed money into the cuffs, he only lifted a layer of sleeves to reveal the arms inside, indicating that he was only wearing a single layer of clothing, that is, Xia Qiu. To sum up, it is not difficult to guess that it is around the Mid-Autumn Festival. ”
Following the explanation of the Yellow Witch, everyone looked very carefully at the mural, and couldn't help but let out an exclamation of sudden realization, and the witch was secretly proud.
At this time, Ah Li added: "Another point is that these trafficked child laborers are all children of poor families, and they do not wear this kind of sachet on ordinary days, and only during the Mid-Autumn Festival and New Year's Day, they will be a little 'extravagant', which also excludes the possibility that they wear ordinary sachets because of their habits." ”
As soon as Ah Li added this, everyone nodded yes again, and the six sons had nothing to say. It's just that the yellow witch's face is a little ugly, but it is also expected.
The three boats moved, and the painting moved with the ship.
The next painting depicts a scene from a construction site, but strangely enough, these people are not building houses, but ...... Planting trees and farming?!
"Damn, what a talent!" The one behind me named Wang Meng couldn't help but sigh, as soon as he spoke, I found out that he was my hometown, a native of Henan, and his Henan dialect was very authentic, "This is the first time I have seen someone spend money to buy child labor to support the greening of the motherland, but I don't know which one will find him first, the Environmental Protection Bureau or the Police Department?" ”
The front was vigorously immediately spoken, but when he opened his mouth, he said in Changsha dialect: "You kid is crazy, who cares about the fuck in that era!" These teeth look like poor teeth that no one wants, and they are fucking short when they fight! can only be sold to the black market as a coolie, look at those little arms and legs, what can they do? At best, they can only go to the countryside to plant land, plant trees, and move bricks...... No way! ”
As he spoke, his eyes stared at the mural in front of him and he suddenly bit his tongue, as if he had seen something incredible.
