The Rescue Mission

Tarou and Diana were about to leave. Meanwhile, Aaron was still looking at the statue. Something caught his eyes.

- Aaron, aren't you coming?

- Didn't you notice anything weird about the statue's hands?

- They were holding the stone, what's weird about that?. Replied Tarou.

- Look at its right hand carefully, his fingers are different from the other hand. Every finger is bent in a different position. The thumb and the index finger are straight, the middle finger is slightly bent, and the rest fingers are completely bent.

- Yeah, now I see it, the shape of the hand wasn't put there to hold the stone. Do you think that's the key?

- I'm not sure, but most likely

- What if you are wrong?

- Well the town is in front of you, you can lose more time searching about something we don't know. Just four days are left.

- Shut, Stop arguing please, I think someone saw us. Said Diana while looking around.

And before they could do anything, they were surrounded by the villagers.

Aaron leaned on his brother:

- I don't think they are angry.

- They are not happy either.

One of the villagers stepped forward

- How dare you put your hands on that cursed gold. We suffered so much because of it.

- I know how to break the curse. Said Aaron.

- No one can break it, you want to deceive us and take the gold.

- Give me some time and I will show you....

- Get out of here or we will kill you immediately.

Aaron became confused " why are they acting like that, he offered to help but they strongly refused. How stubborn, maybe that's why they were severely punished.

- We are used to it, don't interfere.
