Chapter 040: The Tomb is Empty

"What do you think? Get up and go to eat. Xu Yichen rubbed her hair, and then combed her broken hair behind her ears, "Raise long hair in the future, long hair is suitable for you." ”

In the past, Gu Yanran had always had long hair, and she only started to have short hair three years ago, and she said that short hair is easy to cover scars.

"It's too much trouble to take care of. "Gu Yanran is a little lazy in these trivial things in life, although the long hair is good-looking, but it is too time-consuming to take care of.

"Whatever you want. Xu Yichen pursed his lips and lifted the box she put aside, "Are you ready?"

"Well, it's all put away, it's only two or three days left or right, go and go back, where you need to prepare a lot of things. When she saw Xu Yichen carrying the box, she felt that the box was a little heavy.

"Okay, let's go down, grandpa has been waiting for a long time. When it came to the meal, I didn't see Gu Yanran come down, so Xu Yichen came up to take a look, only to find that she was asleep, and she was still sleeping very unsteadily.

The two went downstairs, and Old Man Xu was already waiting on the side.

After sitting down, the three people at the dinner table were all eating quietly, and Old Man Xu taught the juniors to eat without saying a word since he was a child.

Two quarters of an hour later, Old Man Xu put down his chopsticks, Gu Yanran and Xu Yichen stopped eating, and then put down their chopsticks and sat aside.

"So skinny, you eat more. Seeing Gu Yanran stop chopsticks, Old Man Xu frowned, a little disapproving.

Rules are dead, but people are alive.

It's not that Gu Yanran is conformist, it's just that whether it's now, or when she was Liu Chupei, she has always been like this, used to it, besides, in her opinion, there is no reason why the juniors are still eating after the elders stop chopsticks.

"I didn't eat, I was a little full. This is true, breakfast has just been eaten not long ago, in order to let her go to Nanjing early, this meal was a little earlier.

Seeing her like this, Old Man Xu didn't force it, and urged Xu Yichen to send her over.

Xu Yichen in the car couldn't talk at all, talking from Tiannan to the north, but Gu Yanran was not interested, but sometimes he replied with a faint "um".

"Gu Yanran!"

This time it finally pulled Gu Yanran's thoughts back.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing her innocent look, Xu Yichen was angry, what he just said was nonsense, he restrained his unhappy tone, "I said, tell me when you come back, I'll pick you up." ”

"Good. Gu Yanran glanced out the window and had arrived at the station.

didn't let Xu Yichen send it in again, she dragged her suitcase and walked in.

She closed her eyes and rested in the car, and when she opened her eyes again, she was immediately in Nanjing.

She didn't say anything about coming to Nanjing, but just came for two or three days, otherwise it would be inevitable to get together, which was really too time-consuming, and she was ready to go back as soon as this side was over.

Professor Jin had already given her the phone number of the person in charge, she dialed it, asked about the time and place of the meeting tomorrow, and then went to the hotel to rest.

The hotel is still the last time she came to the hotel in Nanjing, she was really tired, she didn't sleep well last night, and today she caught the car, she lay on the bed after washing, and soon fell asleep......

Early in the morning, the phone rang when Gu Yanran was still washing, and she was afraid of missing an important call in the past two days, so she deliberately turned the vibration into a ringtone.

asked about Gu Yanran's location, and said that he came to pick her up and take her to the scene with him.

Gu Yanran responded, sped up the movements in his hands, put on a coat and a mask, and waited at the door of the hotel.

She was picked up by a boy about her age, and she only knew he was an intern when she heard him, and now he is following the project team.

"I've seen you. The boy was very talkative, and seeing that Gu Yanran had been listening to him, he looked at her and smiled.

Gu Yanran glanced at him suspiciously.

"The last time I excavated the tomb of the Southern Song Dynasty, I was also there, and I saw you go down to the tomb together. She was the only girl who went to the tomb at that time, and the rest of the people were all qualified scholars and archaeologists, so she was really conspicuous.

Gu Yanran suddenly realized that he was talking about the time at Liu Chuyu's tomb.

"Have you been following up on that research?" asked Wen Yanzhi before, he didn't give her an answer, and with such a person in front of her, she was not willing to give up a chance.

"Well, but I'm just in charge of putting together the information. "He's just an intern, and of course he doesn't have the qualifications or qualifications to do research with other groups.

"What happened to that tomb?" Gu Yanran thought he should know a little bit about it.

"Uh-" he was a little hesitant, "this...... It is considered confidential work, and it is inconvenient to disclose. His master had always told him not to reveal the conclusions of his research, not even to infer them.

This young man's appearance made Gu Yanran couldn't help but laugh, "I'm also from the project team, didn't you say that you saw me go to the grave at that time, you can't reveal it." ”

He thought about it and seemed to make sense, so he stopped hiding it and told Gu Yanran what he knew.

"I don't know the specifics, but I've heard from a few people that there are thirty small chambers in the tomb, which have just been opened two days ago, but the strange thing is that there are no coffins inside, all of them are empty. He also heard about this yesterday, and he didn't have time to verify the news.

The inside is all empty? There is no coffin? How is it possible? It is recorded in the history books that Liu Chuyu's face was buried with her, how could the room be empty?

"Is it possible that the tomb has been stolen?" In fact, she herself thinks it is impossible, if it is really stolen, the burial goods in the main room outside are not stolen, and the coffin is stolen?

"No, the stone door has been opened for the first time. When he sorted out the information, there was no trace of any piece that had been opened before.

"What about the burial chamber under the coffin?" Wen Yanzhi said before, she still wanted to believe it.

"I didn't open it, but when I heard that the coffin above was lifted, it asked to open the tomb first, but it couldn't be moved, so I put it there first. He lowered his voice, "Group C refuses to dig anymore, saying that it is time-consuming, laborious and costly, and it should still be an empty tomb on the left and right." ”

Gu Yanran knew that Group C was responsible for the excavation of the tomb, which was a very expensive project, and she could understand that after thirty-one disappointments, everyone should not have hope.

"In the past two days, the expert group has been negotiating with Group C, and I heard that the person in charge of the expert group is unwilling to give up. "He spends all day in the office and is well informed.

Isn't Wen Yan the expert group? Is he asking for the tomb to be opened?

"I came to pick you up today, and it was also arranged by the expert group, and I didn't have anything to do, so I came over. He received a call early in the morning, the whole person was still confused, and he was arranged to pick up a person from above, he thought it was an expert sent over, but he didn't expect it to be a girl he had seen before, and he heard that he was still in college.

He had never contacted Gu Yanran, and subconsciously felt that she was a climber.

When Gu Yanran heard this, she was even more surprised than Fang Cai, the people of the expert group arranged for someone to come and pick her up?

The answer was finally available when I arrived at the scene.

She saw a silhouette of him from a distance, he was smoking, Gu Yanran found that his smoking appearance was a little different from the usual appearance of him, with a little anger.

Gu Yanran got out of the car, thanked him, and walked over slowly.

He seemed to sense a step approaching, turned his head, and saw that it was her, he stretched his eyebrows, pinched the cigarette, and threw the cigarette aside.

"Why are you here?" to be honest, she was more surprised than surprised to see him here.

"I'm waiting for you. Wen Yanzhi smiled, guessing that she would ask like this.

Gu Yanran was dumbfounded, what she meant was why he came to Nanjing, just at this scene, not to ask him why he was standing here.

After the separation yesterday, Gu Yanran thought that they would not see each other for several days, but he didn't expect to meet in another place after going around and around.

After knowing Wen Yanzhi's mind yesterday, Gu Yanran always felt that seeing Wen Yanzhi would make her a little restrained, and his words made her not know what to do.

"You know I'm coming?" Looks like he's supposed to be looking for someone to pick her up.

"I just found out last night, Mr. Jin told me that he had a student sent here, let me take care of it, I guess it might be you, so I asked for the name. He looked down at Gu Yanran's helpless expression, and his heart softened, "Sure enough." ”

Gu Yanran was really helpless in her heart, Professor Jin was really worried about her, whether she was in the hospital before or this time, he had to entrust someone to take care of her, but she was not angry, this was a piece of kindness.

"Go to the site first or the temporary resettlement site. "The coffin was temporarily arranged in a temporary resettlement site, and the burial goods were sent to the Cultural Relics Research Institute, and there was actually nothing left at the scene.

"Let's go to the scene first. In fact, since she just got off the car, she has been a little absent-minded, she never expected Wen Yanzhi to be here, and secondly, she felt that this was very likely to be the tomb of Xiangnu, and some unspeakable emotions filled her heart.

More than a thousand years have passed, and it is impossible to discern the location of Jiankang City by virtue of the surrounding scenery.

When he saw the scene, Gu Yanran was a little surprised, the scale of this tomb is not small, it is the specifications of ordinary clansmen, if it is the tomb of Xiangnu, it makes no sense.

She is just a palace maid, even if she is loved again, it will not be this scale when she is buried, and besides, she has not heard from her since she saw Xiangnu that time, no matter whether Xiangnu died before or after her, who buried her?

Xiangnu is an orphan, she has followed her since she was a child, she knows her very well, and there is no such person around Shannu.

She began to doubt her judgment a little, whether this was the tomb of Xiangnu, but if not, how could the golden phoenix dot emerald hairpin appear here?

Things seemed to be getting more and more complicated, more and more confusing, as if many things were unexpected by her.

She died early and did not experience many things, but it is recorded in the history books of later generations that shortly after her death, Liu Ziye and Liu Chuyu were given death one after another.

In her opinion, what she saw was not necessarily the truth, let alone these records that had been circulated for so many years.

Those who record history are what they want future generations to see.

What he wants everyone to believe is the so-called truth, even if it is false, but what does it matter, no one can prove it.

Moreover, sometimes, people tend to believe only what they believe rather than the truth itself.
