I raised my flashlight, stood on tiptoe, and looked earnestly at the statue in front of me, on which the man was running long distances, holding a bow and arrow. It was clearly the shape of the warrior of the time, maybe this man was the leader of the tribe, or some kind of hero. My knowledge of history, in addition to coming from books, probably came from the casual mention of my grandfather and second uncle. So I don't know much about it, I can't find out who this person is, and I'm certainly not interested.

I turned to look at Anadot, "Have you ever seen a stone statue like this before?" ”

Anador shook her head, "No, I've never seen one! ”

After listening to Anado's answer, I had to nod helplessly, and then I heard Anado continue: "However, why do you think this statue is wrong!" ”

"Really?" Anado's words immediately struck a chord with me, "I think it's weird too!" But for a while, I couldn't tell where it was. ”

So the two of us stood in front of the statue, intently observing what the statue looked like.

Suddenly, Anador pulled me and said, "Hey! You crouch! ”

"Squatting?" I don't know, "Why am I crouching?" ”

"Oops! Hurry up! As he spoke, he reached out and pressed me, "A big man's mother-in-law, I'm still trampling you to death!" ”

I had no choice but to squat down obediently, and Anador stepped on my shoulder. Although Anadot has a good figure, she is definitely not the kind of thin and dry type, she belongs to the slender place that should be slender, and the plump part is plump, so the weight she ordered is really not light, and I am really a little difficult to step on it.

Anador stood on my shoulder for a while, and then even tiptoed. The position of the toe of the shoe is exactly at the upper edge of my shoulder blade, and I can't bear it anymore, "I said Sister, you can hurry up!" Is there a result? ”

Anador said on it, "I think there's something wrong with its face!" Stand up straighter! ”

"What!" I wiped the sweat from my face, gritted my teeth, and squatted up with my legs in my hands.

At this time, the walkie-talkie in my pocket rang, "Zhuo Ran! Exceptional! You haven't found me yet? ”

I laboriously took out the walkie-talkie, "Yuan, Lantern Festival, you wait a while!" I've got something going on! Get in touch soon! ”

Soon Lantern Xiao's voice came back again, "Zhuo Ran, are you okay, you panting, what are you doing?" ”

I was holding the walkie-talkie in one hand, supporting my legs with one hand, and there was an Anador on my shoulder, I was almost unable to hold on, so I said angrily: "There is a situation on our side, don't ask nonsense, we'll talk about it later!" ”

"Something?" Lantern Festival still seems to be endless, "What's the situation?" What about Anado? ”

I shook the sweat off my head and subconsciously said, "Anado is on me!" ”

"On you?" Lantern Xiao's tone was full of surprise, "I'll go, then you guys?" At this time, you two ......"

I immediately understood what Lantern Xiao's dirty head was thinking, and scolded, "I'll go to your uncle!" Then he turned off the walkie-talkie and stuffed it back into his pocket.

I raised my head vigorously and looked at Anador above, "I said eldest sister, if you can't handle it anymore, I will really be trampled to death by you!" ”

"I saw it, I saw it!" Anador's voice came from above, with surprise in her tone.

"What do you see?" I asked.

"Someone gouged out the eyes of this statue!" Anado spoke.

"Gouge out your eyes?" This situation makes me wonder, why gouge out the eyes of a statue? And who did it?

I was thinking about it, when I suddenly felt Anado's body start to tilt to the side, and gradually all her weight pressed on my shoulder, which made my center of gravity begin to shift involuntarily, and I was about to stand unsteadily, I quickly shouted to Anadot above, "Hey! Sister, what are you doing! Ay!! ”

As soon as the words fell, I couldn't support it anymore, and suddenly fell to the ground, and Anado on my body also exclaimed and fell down, but her reaction was still very agile, and she immediately rolled on the ground the moment she landed, and squatted firmly on the ground.

Anador got up and patted the dust off her body, "What's the matter with you?" ”

"What's wrong with me?" I jumped up and down, "I want to ask you what's going on?" Stand on, what are you shaking? ”

Anador immediately clapped her hands, "I have made a big discovery!" Something must have happened here, come and see this. So saying, he brought me to the back of the statue, pointed to it, and said, "Look there! ”

I looked in the direction she was pointing, and when I shone a flashlight, I found that there was a stone axe stuck diagonally on the back of the statue!

I thought that this stone axe was carved along with the statue, and it depicts a man who heroically kills an enemy and finally dies generously. But under Anado's guidance, I was surprised to find that the stone axe was not carved into it at all, but was cut into it at the right time!

I can't believe how hard and fast it takes to cut a stone axe into a stone sculpture. And I think the person who did this must have a deep hatred for the prototype of this statue. It seems that what happened here back then was much more complicated than we thought.

Anador looked at the statue and pondered for a moment and said, "I guess there must have been a coup d'état here!" ”

I looked at her with interest and asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

Anador said unhurriedly: "You think, the person who can be built into a statue must have a prominent status, not a tribal leader, but also a tribal hero. It must have been the one in power at the time. And the person who dares to destroy this statue must be his opposite, so it is very likely that there was a coup d'état. ”

I can't help but admire Anado's thoughtfulness, and her analysis is indeed very reasonable. So I said, "Well, it's probably so, and the person who cut down this axe must have had a deep hatred for the person on the statue, and it is likely that he was persecuted by the forces of the people on the statue, maybe the civilian slaves at the bottom, or maybe other forces in the tribe. Look how hard the statue's back is slashed! ”

Anador nodded, "But it's not just the axe, you look at the statue's eyes. ”

I couldn't help but frown, "You mean the statue's eyes were gouged out?" But does that mean anything? ”

Anadó told me that there is a saying among them that after death, the soul remains, and the body is made of stone, and the eye is the way, and one day the soul will return to its homeland. The general meaning is that after a person dies, if his body is carved out of stone, one day he will be able to communicate with his soul, and the way for the soul to communicate is the eyes of the statue.

I asked, "In other words, the person on the statue died, so the forces that had been oppressed by him began to take revenge, and they wanted to smash his soul to pieces!" ”

Anador nodded, "I think so?" ”

"But," I said, looking around, "if it's a coup d'état, there will be fighting, and there's nothing to see here except this statue, and it seems to be peaceful." ”

Anador muttered for a moment and said, "Maybe after the fight, the victorious side cleaned up. ”

I shook my head, "If you want to clean it up, no matter which side wins, this statue should be the first to be cleaned up." So the current situation shows two things, first, this is not the focus of the struggle between the two sides. Second, after this coup d'état, the underworld came to the end of the road, and there was no time to care about anything else. ”

Anador nodded thoughtfully, but didn't say anything.

I sighed, "Okay, that's not something we should be looking at, one day, this will see the light of day again, and that's going to be a huge subject for archaeologists." Let's go! I patted Anador on the shoulder. Then leave the statue and move on.

However, what we didn't expect was that there were two passages at the end of this space. This situation made me lose my mind.

However, when I walked to the entrance of the two passages, I realized that there was actually a difference between them. Although it is true that there are frescoes in both passages, and the frescoes are depicted with eyes. But the eyes in one passage are all open, while the eyes in the other are closed.

In this case, it is easier to do, as long as you ask about the Lantern Festival, everything will be clear.

I took out the walkie-talkie from my pocket, and as soon as I turned on the switch, Lantern Xiao's voice full of resentment immediately came out: "Zhuo Ran! Your uncle!! Heavy color and light friends! Leave me alone! Just take care of yourself! Got a reply! ”

Analdo was still around, and I was worried that if he said something excessive, the scene would be embarrassing. So I seized a gap and hurriedly said to Lantern Xiao: "Don't talk nonsense! Tell me quickly! Are the eyes open or closed in that passage you're on? ”

Lantern Xiao quickly replied, but did not answer my question: "Hey! You're done, kid! You're too boring! You are good to have a beautiful woman as a companion, and I am empty, lonely and cold alone! ”

After Lantern Xiao finished speaking, I hurriedly scolded: "You TM hurry up and answer my question, if you talk so much nonsense, you can stay by yourself!" ”

"Gotta get it!" Lantern Xiao said, "Wait for me to take a look...... The eyes on the murals on my side are all open, come on! ”

I asked Lantern to wait patiently, and then I walked with Anado towards the passage where the mural was open eyes. But as soon as I reached the entrance of the passage, Anador suddenly asked to go for convenience, and I nodded without thinking about it.

But when I was waiting for Anadot at the entrance of the passage, I inadvertently turned my head, and suddenly saw the light of a flashlight faintly coming from the passage when we came.
