Suddenly, he reached out, grabbed a head and pulled it off, then returned to Doudou's side.
He said, "You guys pay attention to the cervical vertebrae behind the necks of each statue—they vary slightly in height and undulation. Take this one, for instance; it doesn't match the statue we looked at before, so this is the first incorrect head we've found!"
"Let's get to work, only 55 left."
With that, he waved his hand.
With a target in mind, the two rascals dove back into the task with laughter and chatter.
Zhang Xiaolan still felt disheartened, "Sixty thousand statues, how long will this torment us? Are we going to starve to death?"
Shen Zhou glanced at her, too lazy to argue, and rushed off to look for more asymmetrical statues.
Zhang Xiaolan sighed but still steeled herself and joined in the work.
Fortunately, Shen Zhou was quick and had keen eyes; he pounced toward a row of statues, skimmed behind them, and could swiftly discern any abnormalities in the line of figures.
