With the clear sound of footsteps getting closer, the shadow on the stone wall at the turning point became bigger and bigger. Suddenly the shadow on the stone wall disappeared in a flash, and then a person walked out of the turn.
The bright light of the flashlight came over, and I couldn't open my eyes, so I had to cover it with my hand, and then looked at each other through my fingers.
"How could the flashlight break, you are too careless."
It was Zhang Ling's voice.
When the strong light was removed, I also put down my blocked hand and said, "When I came down, my hand slipped and didn't hold it well."
While talking to her, I watched her behind, no one followed her, but where did the person who walked in front of her just now
I asked: "Are you alone?"
"Of course it's me, is there anyone else?"
"But I just saw a shadow on the stone wall."
Zhang Ling smiled and said, "That's the shadow of a wax figure. There is a wax figure behind you."
I hurriedly turned my head to look behind me, and almost jumped up in fright, because behind me there was an old man in his 50s and 60s who was grinning and holding his arms flat as if he was about to grab something.
I took a few steps back, set my mind, and looked closely and found that the old man was indeed a very realistic dummy.
Zhang Ling giggled and said, "Don't be afraid that it is just a wax figure, there are many in it. Come with me, go in and take a look."
I hurried a few steps to follow her, couldn't help but look back again, wondering if it was really a wax figure? But who made the laughter you just heard
At the turn of the tunnel, there was also a wax figure of an old man. It was the shadow of this wax figure that was cast on the stone wall just now. However, this wax figure was a bit hideous, and her skin was covered with blood sparkling wounds. He opened his mouth, showing teeth with incomplete blood...
I touched the waxy skin, the texture was as rigid as stone.
"Is this really a wax figure? Why is it so hard?"
"The wax figures are not all made of wax. The main ingredients are clay and lime. The wax used to make the wax figures is different from the usual waxes. Durable and solid materials must be used. Only in this way can the wax figures be made difficult. Melt and deform."
I nodded like a teacher, and said, "But this wax figure is too realistic."
Zhang Ling said: "It's more than lifelike, it's lifelike, you
The look of the wax figure is not stiff at all, and even the pores are clearly visible. There are also many wax figures inside, which is like an underground wax man museum. "
Following Zhang Ling and turning a turn, we came to a space of 60 to 70 square meters. As Zhang Ling said, this place is like an underground wax man's hall. At first glance, there are at least more than 100 wax figures. The wax figure is honest.
What I said honestly meant that none of them had any physical movements or rich and hideous facial expressions. They had their arms drooped one by one and stood neatly against the wall.
But soon, I discovered that these wax figures have a common feature. Although these wax figures are male and female, they are generally older. Judging from their vicissitudes of life, they are at least forty years old. Looking at their dressing up clothes, they are basically gray and black, and the styles of their clothes are also very similar.
I was stunned, and said: "Are these wax figures from the villagers who died overnight ten years ago? According to Uncle Deng, all the people over forty years old in the village became overnight. The corpse was removed, but when people found the Su family, they found that all the dead were standing upright in the Su family’s yard."
"You mean, the people standing in the Su's yard were not ghosts, but these wax figures?"
"Correct."
Zhang Ling swept across the wax statue’s face with a flashlight, and said, “It’s not impossible, but who put these wax statues here?”
"Maybe it is Su Youliang, Su Jiande's son, or the woman Su Youliang brought back."
"Whoever puts these wax figures here needs a reason. What do you think is the purpose of putting these wax figures here?"
"Of course it's storage."
"Then why store it?"
"This... I don't know, but there must be a reason."
"Whatever the reason, there are only two purposes for storing things. One is that the things are precious and meaningful for collection; the other is that they will come in handy in the future. I can't think of these wax figures for Su Youliang, or the ones he brought back. What is the value of women."
"Then what do you think is the reason?"
Zhang Ling did not answer, but went straight to a corner, shone a flashlight on the face of a wax figure, and said, "You come over and look at this man first.
Like who. "
I walked a few steps past, the wax figure looked like a man, he looked familiar, he was about 40 years old, about 1.8 meters tall, stiff, thick eyebrows and sword eyes, high nose, thick lips, and the left chin is still long. A mole, the overall look can be said to be arrogant, but because of the dim eyes, it seems a bit less domineering and a bit more bookish.
"It's a bit like... like a portrait hanging in the Su family hall."
"If the portrait in the Su family hall is Su Jiande, then this person should be Su Youliang, Su Jiande's son."
I nodded in agreement and asked, "What does this mean?"
"This shows that Su Youliang, like the villagers in their forties at the time, died and turned into a corpse."
"Since Su Youliang was dead at the time, the person storing these wax figures should be the woman."
Zhang Ling shook his head and said: "I said that storing everything has meaning and value. So in my opinion, these wax figures were not stored here by someone at all, but imprisoned here."
My heart moved, and I said in surprise: "Imprisoned? You mean these wax figures are alive, they will run out?"
"That's right. Because when we came in, there were three wax figures along the way. The first was where we came down, and the second was where I picked you up. The third was around the corner. All three wax figures were exaggerated. Some of the body movements seem to be struggling, some are like grabbing, and some are like running away. If someone stores these wax figures, first of all, the three wax figures should not be in the passage, but should be with these wax figures. ; Secondly, judging from the exaggerated body movements of the three wax figures, they seem to be frozen suddenly while they are moving."
Zhang Ling's words reminded me immediately of the weird laughter behind me when I first came down. I looked up at the lifelike faces of the wax statues, and suddenly felt that they all had life and could move at any time.
Zhang Ling continued: "But when I say they have a life, I mean they have become wax figures before."
I swallowed and spit, and said, "You are just speculation, there is no evidence at all."
Zhang Ling drew a dagger from his waist and handed it to me, "It's very simple to want evidence. Just cut the wax man's skin with a dagger, and you can find the evidence."
