The process of waiting outside was painful. Xue Qian and I, you look at me, I look at you, and no one spoke.

I simply sat down and tried to get rid of my thoughts. Began to silently count his heartbeat. A normal person's heartbeat. The average score is around seventy-five. I'm nervous right now, I'm afraid it's long time inaccurate. However, it is better to have a reference than nothing.

I counted all the way to three hundred. There was still no movement in the house.

I stood up and looked in with some uneasiness.

Xue Qian said: "Lao Zhao, it's three minutes, right?" ”

I said, "It should have been over a long time ago." ”

Xue Qian asked me, "Mr. Lu didn't come out after a while, what should we do?" ”

In this case, it's a real headache for me to make an idea. But there are only two people in this, Xue Qian and me. And I am Mr. Lu's apprentice. Either way, the two of us are much closer. I've got to get the idea.

I hesitated for a moment and said, "Didn't Mr. Lu explain to us before he went in?" He seemed to say. If he doesn't come out after the time, we don't have to wait for him. ”

I pointed to the top of my head, "Why don't we dig a hole and escape?" ”

Xue Qian laughed dryly: "If you want to dig a hole, you can't dig it up, you have to dig it diagonally, otherwise, if it collapses, the two of us will be buried alive inside." ”

I laughed dryly and said, "It's not bad to use the Dragon Palace as a tomb." ”

Xue Qian poured cold water on me: "Lao Zhao, don't think about beautiful things." Our flesh is out there. "Winter vomit.

I sighed and said, "Then you see, where is the best place for us to make a hole?" ”

Xue Qian said: "It's a pity that the big knife is not here, otherwise." It can be used as a shovel. ”

The two of us, you say a word to me. It's all about digging holes to get out, but none of us do anything. All stood at the door.

After a while, I said faintly: "Isn't it a little bad to leave Mr. Lu and run away alone?" ”

Xue Qian nodded thoughtfully.

Then, he laughed and said, "Maybe behind this door is the exit?" Or perhaps, the streets here are dangerous. But the house is safe inside. Now Mr. Lu is eating big fish and meat inside. Laughing at us through the window. ”

I smiled and said, "Let's go in and have a look?" ”

Xue Qian said: "Of course you have to go in and have a look." ”

Then, the two of us stepped forward and stood on both sides. Slowly pushed the two doors open.

Mr. Lu did not come out after entering the house. The intention of what he said before he went in was obvious. There may be some unknown danger in this room. If he can't get out, we don't have to risk ourselves.

But this kind of instruction, Xue Qian and I can't do it at all. Although we don't talk about righteousness, we definitely can't throw him here. What's more, we are all curious, and if we don't look at what's in the house, I'm afraid we won't be able to sleep well for the rest of our lives.

We slowly pushed the two doors open. Immediately afterward, a gust of wind blew from inside.

Xue Qian and I held our breath. Flash on the side. After the wind blew over, there was no more movement.

We poked our heads into the room. I saw that the room was very small, and it was not commensurate with the tall wooden door.

There was a candle lit in the room. There was an idol sitting on the altar. And under the offering table, there is a person who is offering incense.

Xue Qian smiled: "Lu Laodao, what kind of fame are you doing?" If you don't hurry up and find your way, how can you come here to make incense? Let's worry outside for a while. ”

Then, the two of us stepped in. stood behind Mr. Lu.

Mr. Lu didn't seem to hear us. Still there to wipe the offering table. I reached out to pat him on the shoulder and call him out.

Suddenly, Xue Qian suddenly stretched out her hand and grabbed me. He pushed too hard, and I took two steps back and slammed into the wooden door. With a bang, I slammed the wooden door and shut it open.

The wooden door closed suddenly, and the cold wind brought up made the candle shake incessantly, and it almost went out.

I saw Xue Qian's face was pale, and her body was trembling. I couldn't help but get nervous too, and I asked, "What's wrong?" What are you dragging me for? ”

Xue Qian pointed to the person in front of the offering platform and said, "He is not Mr. Lu. ”

I was shocked when I heard this, and when I looked again, I found that the back of this person's clothes was really different from Mr. Lu.

We always thought there was no one in this room. After Mr. Lu came in, he didn't go out again, so we naturally thought that the person in this room was Mr. Lu.

What's more, the candlelight here is dim, and if you don't look closely, you really can't tell the difference.

I was startled when the man slowly turned his head.

I saw that he had gray hair and wrinkles like a shrunken apple. And with a smile on his face. This smile is so weird that it makes me feel creepy.

He chuckled at us. The voice is hoarse and unpleasant.

My hairs stood on end in fright, and I turned around and ran outside. As a result, I was so anxious that I forgot that the wooden door had been closed by me. When I turned around, I just slapped my body against the wooden door.

My nose ached, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

I was holding my nose and was about to run outside, when a cloudy wind blew past me.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a white shadow fleeing outside at great speed, and in the blink of an eye, it was gone.

Xue Qian's voice trembled, and he asked beside me, "Old Zhao, how are you?" ”

I shook my head and said, "I'm fine." ”

I saw Xue Qian's face was pale and her eyes were wandering, obviously frightened.

I breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That old guy just left?" But where is Mr. Lui? ”

Xue Qian's face was a little strange, and he asked me, "You don't know where Mr. Lu is?" ”

I wondered, "You know? ”

Xue Qian said: "I saw him. Then he pointed to the idol on the altar.

The idol was apparently carved out of wood. There are also vein textures of plants on it. I took a closer look and found that the statue was indeed Mr. Lu's appearance. The carving is so vivid that it looks like a real person.

Xue Qian said: "Lao Zhao, you said that this god statue, could it be that Mr. Lu became?" ”

I said, "What are you kidding? This thing is made of wood. ”

Xue Qian said: "But the clothes on his body seem to be Mr. Lu's." ”

I take a closer look, isn't it? The idol also wears clothes. The inner and outer three layers are exactly the same as those on Mr. Lu's body. And this kind of clothing is not simply put on, but actually put on. If you carve a statue of a god and then wear clothes, the idol cannot move, and it will never be able to be dressed neatly like this.

I was shocked and ripped the clothes off Mr. Lu's chest. I saw that half of Mr. Lu's chest had turned into wood, and the other half was still a human body.

I touched his heart, and it was still warm, and his heart was still beating slowly.

I have mixed feelings in my heart. I don't know if I should be happy or worried. I found Mr. Lu, and I should have been happy, but Mr. Lu has become like this, is there a difference between his soul and his soul?

Xue Qian suddenly pointed to the offering platform and said, "Old Zhao, is this platform weird?" ”

I said, "No matter, let's move Mr. Lu down first." ”

When Mr. Lu was a soul, his body was light and fluttering, and he had no weight. Now it's wood, and it shouldn't weigh much. However, the two of us moved for a while, but we couldn't move.

I was so tired that I gasped: "How do you feel like you've taken root?" ”

My words reminded Xue Qian. He stretched out his hand and frantically dug up the offering table.

The offering platform is not made of masonry, but is made of loess. So Xue Qian dug twice, and the platform collapsed.

I saw that Mr. Lu really took root. Like a tree, he was rooted on the altar.

At this time, there is unspeakable fear in my heart, but no matter how fearful I am, there is no way, this is Mr. Lu, we can't ignore it.

Xue Qian and I dug up Mr. Lu, then carried him on our backs and fled outside.

Xue Qian said: "Let's dig a hole now and escape quickly." ”

In fact, we know very well in our hearts that it will take at least a day to dig a hole that we can escape. The dragon king is eyeing the neighborhood, how can he allow us to escape calmly?

But at this time, I can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor. We can't sit on the ground and wait to die
