Chapter 114: The ghost cries in the middle of the night

After reading this version of the story, Zheng Suo and they also agreed that it was closer to the truth, although the historical records did not record the information of other concubines of Yang Jian, the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty, but everyone still temporarily assumed that this was the tomb of Yang Jian's concubine. As for why the overseas tomb robber group is eyeing this, it is speculated that they may be trying to get the legendary 100 boxes of treasures underwater.

After Professor Chen re-established the work schedule for the next day with Zheng Suo, Zhang Gong and others, everyone went to sleep. Probably because he was curious about this legendary story, Professor Chen was a little excited at night and lost sleep, and he couldn't fall asleep until midnight. When he was still tossing and turning in bed and analyzing the legend of Concubine Xiaochu, he was suddenly interrupted by a burst of crying outside the window. The voice seemed to grow from afar, but it was impossible to tell where it was coming from, whether it was male or female. Under the light outside the hotel, he got up and stood in front of the window with his clothes draped and listened carefully, but he still couldn't hear whether it was a man or a woman, and he only felt that this slightly old and muddy cry rendered the originally silent night particularly weird.

Professor Chen turned on the light to wake up Zhang Gong, who was snoring, and after telling him about the crying, the two stood in front of the window together and listened again, the crying was still there, but it was much smaller, and it seemed that they had gone far and walked in the direction of the waterfall. Following the prestige, there was no figure to be found on the edge of the huge lake, except for a few lonely lights lit there. Zhang Gong saw that Professor Chen was still entangled in this cry, so after getting dressed with Professor Chen, the two quietly walked out of the room. At this moment, the two waiters in the hall were curled up on the sofa and sleeping Zhengxiang, and after Zhang Gong signaled Professor Chen to tap, the two quietly walked out of the hotel. But as soon as they walked out of the hotel, the crying suddenly stopped, and there was no movement on the edge of the empty lake except for the sound of the water flowing from the waterfall in the distance.

Zhang Gong touched his head and wondered: "It's strange, there is no one on this big night, this is either a drowned ghost shouting grievances, or who is joking with us, Ya, this is a trouble, Lao Chen, let's go back to sleep." ”

Professor Chen thought for a moment and said, "No, Lao Zhang, don't you think there's something wrong here?" ”

"What's wrong? Aside from the fact that it felt like it was going to rain again, I didn't feel anything out of the ordinary. ”

"Well, I can't say how I feel right now, I just don't feel right, the cry seems to be deliberate, and we stopped as soon as we came out."

"I've been playing with the grave all my life, and today I finally met a ghost, right? Are you stupid or not? Let's go, if you let others know, you won't laugh off your big teeth, hell is one of the top archaeology professors in China, this is not a horror story at all, but a joke. ”

"I don't mean ghosts, I've never believed in those, it's just that I can't say it right now."

"Since you can't say it, don't think about it, go back to sleep, there will be a lot of things tomorrow."

After the two of them returned to the room and lay down again, they had just fallen asleep in a daze, when they were woken up by the movement outside, and strange cries came out again.

"Damn, this is a sincere mess with me, isn't it? Well, let's make trouble, I want to see which well you were thrown into and drowned, such a big grievance. ”

Professor Chen saw that Zhang Gong was scolding and scolding, getting dressed and holding a flashlight and going out again, so he grabbed him, and then said: "Don't be reckless, now we don't know anything about that thing, this cry is so strange, let's turn off the lights first and then observe." ”

"Okay."

The two of them turned off the lights and stood in front of the window again to look at the external mission, but except for the cry, there was still no figure in sight, and the cry seemed to be high and low, constantly changing direction and reaching their ears.

"I went down to the ground for a lifetime and entered the grave for a lifetime, but I didn't expect to see a ghost this time!"

"Lao Zhang, do you think it will be the sound of a cat outside? When the cat barks in the spring, the voice is sometimes the same as crying. ”

"The sound of a cat making a spring is different from this, and other animals will not bark like this, this sound is very similar to a human cry, I don't think this is made by some kind of animal, I am sure this is the sound made by a person."

In the dark, Professor Chen thought for a while and said, "Then if you are sure that it is not the sound made by animals, then you can only be sure that it is a human now, in that case, it means that someone is deliberately making small moves with us." ”

"There may be this, but why? There's always a logic and a way to do things, right? ”

"I think this person may have something to do with our purpose, trying to influence our progress with little tricks."

"So that means there's an article in it? That is, this person deliberately uses this trick to delay us in order to wait for some people to arrive? ”

"Well, that's what I just thought."

"Then if that's the case, why didn't he interfere with us in the tomb?"

"Maybe he doesn't know what the tomb is like, maybe he doesn't know about the tomb at all."

"Alright, leave this thing alone, I'm sure we'll soon know the truth about this ghost cry, and now our task is to sleep and prepare our energy for tomorrow's work."

After saying that, the two of them went to sleep.

At dinner time in the morning, Professor Chen, who didn't sleep well, appeared in front of everyone in a decadent manner, which surprised everyone.

Chen Zhijun walked over and asked with concern, "Dad, why are you so unenergetic?" Didn't sleep well? ”

"Well, it's okay, I just didn't sleep well."

Seeing that everyone around him had gone to eat, Chen Zhijun quietly walked up to Professor Chen and said, "Dad, I seem to have met a ghost last night!" ”

"Don't talk nonsense! Where the hell did it come from! ”

"Really, that ghost has been crying at the window for a long time."

As soon as he heard Chen Zhijun crying, Professor Chen immediately became vigilant, so he pulled Chen Zhijun aside and asked, "What is that sound like?" Who do you live with? ”

"I was in a room with my colleague, he slept like a dead pig, I didn't hear it, the sound was fluttering, there would be, there would be no one, I couldn't hear whether it was a male ghost or a female ghost."

"In this way, you will quietly ask all the team members after eating, and ask if they have heard it too."

"What are they doing?"

"Just ask, maybe we didn't hear a ghost."

Chen Zhijun tacitly understood from Professor Chen's eyes, it turned out that the ghost cry last night was not only heard by himself, but also by his father and others. So after the meal, he asked all the team members one by one, and the result was that most of them heard it, but the team members who were not afraid of the ground these days did not take it seriously.

Professor Chen smiled when he learned the result, and then walked into Zheng's room alone.
