It was impossible for a normal cat to have a nose ring on its nose. When Zhang Zian heard Wang Yaning say that there was a golden nose ring on the statue's face, he was stunned. The nose ring on the Holy Cat statue had already been cut off by Old Time Tea and sent to the Longfeng Jewelry Store to be recycled. By now, it had probably been melted into liquid gold and recast into a gold accessory for some girl to wear on her finger. So where did the nose ring on the statue come from?
The Holy Cat statue they were facing was a replica. Only the nose ring was from the same era as the original, but because it had been buried underground for more than two thousand years, it had lost its original color of pure gold. It was no longer golden, and people who didn't know would definitely mistake it for brass.
Wang Yaning insisted that the nose ring was golden, which made Zhang Zian wonder if this was the statue that had been lost in the shop, or if the real one in the British Museum had also become elfin. But there was no news of the British Museum being stolen recently …
Another possibility was that because of the Strength of Faith gathering on its body, this replica had replaced the status of the original, just like how Famous had replaced Ding Ding as an elfin. After it had the power to almost become an elfin, the game restored its nose ring according to its wishes, just like how the game had provided Old Time Tea with a bamboo hat and long gown.
Teacher Sun frowned as she listened. Was this child so scared that he became muddle-headed? Or was it possessed by a ghost? How could the statue turn around, and how could it smile? But seeing that she was still talking clearly, it didn't seem like she was scared and confused …
"Did you see the other characteristics of its body clearly? Was it also wearing golden earrings, and there was a collar and neck ornament with complicated patterns on its chest? "Zhang Zian confirmed again.
Wang Yaning thought for a moment. "There were earrings, but I couldn't see the collar clearly. There seemed to be patterns on it. What is the neck ornament?"
"It's a square nameplate, similar to a necklace. It hangs in front of the chest," Zhang Zian explained.
"No." She shook her head. "Although I couldn't see it clearly, there was nothing square."
This answer was very surprising, because the necklace was carved on the Holy Cat statue's body. Logically speaking, it was impossible for it to be lost. It was also impossible for it to be worn out. Even the broken nose ring had been perfectly restored, so how could the important necklace be worn out?
After some analysis, Zhang Zian felt that there was only one possible answer. The game had determined that the Wajit amulet, which represented the Eye of Light in ancient Egyptian mythology, did not belong to the Holy Cat statue, so it had been removed. The game was very fair. The current Holy Cat statue was just a conventional name. In reality, it was a statue of the Evil God, and the Wajit Amulet shouldn't be worn on it.
Of course, this was only a guess. It was possible that Wang Yaning had missed it. The truth could only be revealed when he saw the Holy Cat statue with his own eyes.
Wang Yaning gradually stopped sobbing under Teacher Sun's gentle comforting words.
"Wang Yaning, think about it carefully. What did you see? Are you seeing things? Just like what Mr. Zhang said, he felt dizzy after seeing the dazzling lines? You have to know that the statue can't turn its head by itself. "Seeing that she could communicate normally, Teacher Sun asked again.
Wang Yaning had previously insisted that she had seen the Holy Cat statue turn its head, but this time, to Zhang Zian's surprise, she raised her head and looked at him, then lowered her head and replied in a small voice, "Yes, I might have seen things wrong … Teacher Sun, you won't blame me, right?"
"That's good. When you're nervous, it's normal to see things wrong. I won't blame you." Teacher Sun smiled in relief and helped her tidy up her messy hair.
At first, Zhang Zian did not understand why she had changed her previous answer, but in that moment of eye contact, he seemed to have found the answer. Wang Yaning had common sense, and according to common sense, the statue would not turn its head. If she had continued to insist that the statue had turned its head, she would have been seen as an anomaly by Teacher Sun and the others. If word got out, it would have affected their perception and evaluation of her, so she had lied against her will.
She was very smart and knew how to be flexible. She knew that a child's so-called truth was worthless in the face of common sense. Children who tried to challenge common sense would always be crushed by common sense, and they might even be considered mentally ill …
What shocked Zhang Zian the most was that at such a young age, she had already understood all this.
At that moment, there was a rustling sound in the bamboo forest, causing the three of them to tense up and look up at the same time.
Vladimir jumped out of the bamboo forest. There was even more dust on its body, and there was even a piece of green bamboo leaf on its forehead.
Zhang Zian asked about the situation with his eyes.
"Meow, there's not even a feather in the bamboo forest! But I'm sure that guy was hiding there before. I can feel the residual evil aura in there! "Vladimir spat out the dusty saliva and paced around in annoyance.
In front of outsiders, Zhang Zian did not dare to respond.
Vladimir clenched its fists. "We can't go on like this. We can't let it lead us by the nose! Although the lotus is good, it needs the support of the green leaves! A fence needs three stakes, and a good man needs three helpers! We must find helpers, then take the initiative to attack, and firmly grasp the initiative in our own hands! "
What it said made sense, but where could they find helpers? Binhai City was not big, but it was not small either. Zhang Zian had not been able to find the Holy Cat statue because of a lack of manpower. He had even asked for help from netizens through Snowy's live broadcast, but the results were not ideal. Even if all the elfins were mobilized, they would not be able to search a large area.
Vladimir did not explain further, but it was still full of strong confidence and had no doubt about victory and success.
Teacher Sun helped Wang Yaning up from the ground, dusted off the dirt on her clothes, and asked, "Wang Yaning, where do you live? Do you want me to send you home? "
It was almost noon, and Teacher Sun's garrison mission had already ended. With such an episode in the middle, she was not in the mood to stay any longer.
Wang Yaning shook her head. "No need. Thank you, Teacher Sun. I can go back by myself."
"How can you do that? You were just frightened. Let me send you home. "Teacher Sun was afraid that she would be in a trance. It would not be good if something happened on the way.
But Wang Yaning would not agree no matter what.
Teacher Sun turned around and saw Zhang Zian beside her. She used the tone of a teacher to assign tasks. "Mr. Zhang, you and Wang Yaning came together. Why don't you send her home?"
Zhang Zian spread his hands helplessly. "I don't know where her home is either …"
"Then at least send her back to somewhere near Zhonghua Road Primary School," Teacher Sun insisted.
This time, Wang Yaning was silent and did not object. Maybe she thought that Zhang Zian was a pushover …
"Okay, then let's go." Zhang Zian cursed his bad luck. He could not get rid of this dog skin plaster.
Teacher Sun reminded her, "Wang Yaning, be careful on the road. If you encounter any problems, contact the adults immediately."
"I know. Thank you, Teacher Sun. Goodbye!" Wang Yaning did not forget to give a young pioneer salute even at this time. Then, she turned around and left with Zhang Zian, half a step behind him.
Teacher Sun watched them disappear around the corner of the street and left the bamboo forest to go home.
After walking for a while, Wang Yaning suddenly said, "That statue, what's going on?"
She had been holding this question in her heart for a long time. She left with him because she wanted to ask this question.
However, Zhang Zian did not want to involve her in this matter, nor did he want to scare her. He just casually said, "That's not something a child should know."
"Hmph, what are you being so smug about? I will investigate it myself. Even if I can't find it, when I grow up, I will force you to tell me sooner or later! "She threatened aggressively.
Zhang Zian laughed. Let's talk about it when you grow up first.
"Right, Wang Yaning, I want to ask you a question." He changed the topic.
However, Wang Yaning was silent and did not answer.
He could only directly ask, "Wang Yaning, when you grow up, what do you plan to do? I think you are very eloquent. You are quite suitable to be a lawyer … "
She asked back, "What about you? Did you want to open a pet shop when you were young? "
Zhang Zian smiled and said, "Not really. When I was young, I thought that wearing a military uniform was very cool. I wanted to be a general …"
"Then why didn't you join the army?" she asked again.
"Well … Dreams are dreams, and reality is reality. When I grew up, I felt that it was safer to go to university. It's not that easy to be a general," he said.
She snorted. Maybe she felt that he was harmless and did not need to hide anything, so she said without hesitation, "If a relative who is a doctor asked me, I would say that I want to be a doctor. If a relative who runs a company asked me, I would say that I want to start my own business. If a teacher asked me, I would say that I want to be an honorable teacher …"
As she said that, she glanced at him. "But I definitely do not want to open a pet shop."
Zhang Zian felt that he was deeply despised.
Sure enough, he did not misjudge her. She was truly a scoundrel!
"Then what do you really want to do?" he asked, pretending that he did not understand.
She held up three fingers. "I want to do this."
Zhang Zian thought that this little girl was actually speaking in riddles. Well, since he had nothing better to do, he would guess with her.
"I know. You want to get into the top three schools in the country!" He smiled and said, "When I was young, I was also worried about whether I should go to Peking University or Tsinghua University in the future. Later, I found that I was thinking too much …"
She showed an expression that said, "Why are you so stupid?" She simply said, as if she had given up on treatment, "I want to sneak into the system and sit in the top three rows!"
Zhang Zian was speechless.
The top three rows probably did not refer to the top three rows in the class, right? That should be arranged according to size …
Vladimir exclaimed, "As expected of the sun at six or seven o 'clock in the morning! Ambition is commendable! Just as my classmate is young, in the prime of his life; the spirit of a scholar, full of energy! Pointing out the country, inspiring words, and being a Marquis of ten thousand households! "
Zhang Zian felt that in twenty years, not only would he have to escape from Binhai City, he might not even be able to stay in the country …
