Chapter 207: Strange Story
After a messy meeting for an hour, Bai Chi and the wretched man opened the door and walked out when they saw that it was getting late. At this time, they saw the man named Xing standing at the door with a confused look on his face.
After seeing the two people come out, Director Xing ran to Shen Li and smiled enthusiastically:
"Captain Shen, is everything ready?"
Bai Chi couldn't stand it anymore. It was really overwhelming for someone to be a high-ranking official. If Shen Li was a commoner like herself, she might be looked down upon.
The wretched man walked over and ignored Director Xing and asked Shen Li: "Captain, when do we leave?"
Director Xing next to him saw that the wretched man was ignoring him, and his expression suddenly changed, but he returned to his original state in an instant. Just when he was about to answer this question for Shen Li, Bai Chi came over again and said with a smile:
"Captain, I think we should act as soon as possible. When the matter is over, we will go our separate ways!"
The purpose of saying this was to worry about the person named Xing. Bai Chi was worried that Director Xing was just using this to seduce him. However, in front of Director Xing, Shen Li did not have any mood swings and just said:
"I will follow up on this matter after it's over, don't worry!"
Seeing that she also knew about this, Bai Chi felt relieved and winked at the wretched man, thinking it was your turn!
The wretched man smiled at Director Xing and said, "Director Xing, when do you think we should go?"
Director Xing hurriedly said to Shen Li: "When does Captain Shen plan to go? I'll prepare the tickets!"
Shen Li said expressionlessly: "Leave tomorrow!"
Director Xing hurriedly walked to the office. At this time, Shen Li smiled at Bai Chi and said:
"I have long disliked him. If it weren't for the relationship, he would never have been able to take the position of director of Xianyang."
Bai Chi and the wretched man looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
Early the next morning, several people got on the bus to the Yellow River Tombs. The three of them sat in silence along the way, and no one said a word.
After nearly a day of bumpy rides, during which the car backed up three times, the three of them successfully arrived in Baode County, Shanxi Province.
Shen Li vomited as soon as she got out of the car. Bai Chi frowned as he looked at her, wondering how she managed to survive like this.
Now that the three of them have arrived at the Jiuqu River section between the three provinces, the wretched man looked at Bai Chi and made a gesture of making a phone call. Bai Chi immediately understood, how could he forget about Liu Wei?
When he was in the hospital, he said he wanted to come to the Yellow River area, but now that he has come unexpectedly, Liu Wei should be allowed to do what he wants. Besides, after the Ziying Tomb incident, Liu Wei had to accompany Baichi for a trip no matter what. That five million reward was not for nothing...
Bai Chi suddenly felt that there seemed to be a rope that tightly tied several people together. When they meet again, they may face an even more thrilling journey.
This time it was Liu Wei who answered the phone. Liu Wei didn't say much on the phone. He just asked Bai Chi to wait at the Baode County bus station, then said someone would be looking for him, and then hung up the phone in a hurry.
Bai Chi stared at the phone angrily, wondering what Liu Wei meant. Maybe Liu Wei already knew that Bai Chi and the wretched man would have this encounter, so he didn't want to see him.
Seeing that Shen Li had slowed down, the wretched man asked: "Captain, what will we do soon?"
Shen Li waved her hand and responded with another smile:
"Don't call me that again for a while. I'm your eldest sister now. Call me Sister Shen! Someone will pick us up tomorrow. Don't call me by the wrong name then!"
Bai Chi and the wretched man nodded hurriedly. Does this still look like a big sister? No matter how you look at it, you look like a girl from the mountains who came to the city for the first time.
After arranging Shen Li to a hotel, Bai Chi and the wretched man came to the same place again. Before taking a few puffs from a cigarette in their hands, they saw a middle-aged man wearing a suit and glasses walking over.
The man walked up to Bai Chi and asked, "Are you Mr. Bai and Mr. Wang Heping?"
Bai Chi was stunned for a moment, and only when he recalled it did he realize that the first call he made to Liu Wei was this man's voice.
Seeing that this man has an elegant temperament, I would never associate him with Liu Wei, a man with a face full of sarcoma.
It seems that the concept of people gathering in groups is not suitable for people like them.
After several people verified their identities, the man introduced himself: "My name is Cheng Hao, how long do you plan to stay here?"
Bai Chi frowned. The man's voice was still so lukewarm. It sounded like he was giving Bai Chi an eviction order, as if he didn't want to stay with the two of them for one more minute.
The wretched man smiled and said: "I still don't know about this. By the way, why didn't Liu Wei come? Is he very busy?"
Cheng Hao's face remained calm and he said decisively:
"I'm only responsible for being your tour guide. I can't say more about his affairs!"
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Bai Chi laughed and said, "That's not what he meant. He wanted to ask if the slap mark on Liu Wei's face had gone away!"
At this moment, Cheng Hao's expression suddenly changed, and then he resumed saying:
"He's fine. I think you two haven't eaten yet when you arrived. It's getting late. Let's talk while eating!"
Bai Chi and the wretched man looked at each other. Cheng Hao deliberately avoided the topic, but he couldn't hold on to him, otherwise he would inevitably be notorious for being ignorant.
Seeing that Bai Chi and the two had no objections, Cheng Haorang waited for a while, and after a while drove over to pick up Bai Chi and the wretched man to a small hotel in the county.
The wretched man at the dinner table intentionally or unintentionally talked about what happened at Ziying's tomb. Cheng Hao did not avoid it as Bai Chi imagined this time, and seemed to be particularly interested in this matter.
When he heard about the palace inside the mausoleum, he was surprised and said:
"There is such a mausoleum in the world. I guess if it is completely excavated, it will definitely shock the world as much as the terracotta warriors and horses were unearthed, and even more crazy!"
Although Bai Chi could understand the meaning of this sentence, the man's voice had no emotion at all. It sounded like a TV host reporting the news.
□The wretched man chuckled and said:
“Someone is already thinking about a project like this!”
Cheng Hao suddenly asked: "How do you say this?"
Bai Chi interrupted and said: "After we parted ways with Liu Wei, the archaeological team has already intervened in this tomb, and it is estimated that it will not be long before it will be revealed to the world!"
Cheng Hao suddenly stopped talking, looked at his watch, changed the subject and said with a smile:
"I'll take you out for a walk. This is the Yellow River area, and there are many folk tales of ghosts and gods!"
The Yellow River area is mainly open to sand, and during the war-torn years it was the battlefield where both sides fought. It has naturally witnessed the revival and replacement of dynasties.
The first thing that appeared was the discovery of a transparent coffin in the silt of the Yellow River, and then the theory of ghosts and gods spread like wildfire. No one can explain this matter clearly, but the most important thing is that this river that breeds life hides many unknown things. 's secret.
Cheng Hao said that unidentified skeletons were often recovered during sand fishing in the Yellow River. Bai Chi and Wuxian Man did not have much to say about this. These people should be the result of a smuggling gang's fight.
Finally, he talked about some supernatural events about the Yellow River. The wretched man laughed and said that these things were nothing compared to what I had experienced, and there was nothing to be afraid of.
Cheng Hao suddenly stopped and looked back at me, Bai Chi, and the two of them said grimly:
"Never open your windows at midnight!"
Bai Chi was startled. He turned to look at the wretched man and found that the wretched man was the same as him. Looking at Cheng Hao's expression, he didn't look like he was joking. Bai Chi asked in a low voice:
"Can you be more specific? We just came to this place and we don't know what the taboos are?"
When Cheng Hao saw no one around, he said:
"There was nothing happening in this place before, but starting more than ten days ago, a series of cries would be heard every midnight, and occasionally the sound of walking and the friction of chains dragging on the ground would be heard."
Bai Chi's eyes flickered and he asked, "Is this someone's family mourning?"
Cheng Hao waved his hand and said, "I thought so at first, but no one will cry for more than ten days, and it's still midnight!"
Bai Chi's scalp suddenly became numb, and he thought that this was indeed a bit strange, but it wasn't that terrible.
The wretched man chuckled and said, "Brother, don't scare us like that. I've touched a lot of dead people. If it was really as evil as you say, I think those corpses would have taken me away long ago!"
Bai Chi glanced at the wretched man and said:
"Fuck you, don't interrupt!"
Bai Chi explained to Cheng Hao again: "Don't mind, he is just a crow's mouth!"
Cheng Hao nodded, seeming to be sure of Bai Chi's statement, and then said: "No one here paid attention at first, and it wasn't until a few days ago that things really started!"
Feeling that the environment here is getting more and more gloomy, Baichi shook involuntarily and suggested:
"I think we should find a place to sit for a while first!"
Cheng Hao took Bai Chi and the two to a food stall and continued:
"A week ago, the sound disappeared for a while, but it appeared again just two days later, and the sound was louder than before. That day, a family was awakened by the sound, opened the window and prepared to yell, but on the second
He died in the room for no apparent reason the next day."
The wretched man asked nervously: "Why did he die? What did he see at that time?"
Cheng Hao shrugged and replied: "No one knows what he saw, but the hospital determined that he died of excessive fright!"
The wretched man's hand shook, and the boiling water in the tea cup spilled on his hand. He stood up staggeringly and asked hurriedly:
"Excessive fright means that he saw something that touched his soul!"
Recalling the ferocious expression of the female corpse that looked almost the same as Cheng Li lying in the sarcophagus, Bai Chi began to become nervous. This thing was so unbelievable. He asked Cheng Hao: "Then what happens next? Is anyone going to see it again?"
"
Cheng Hao smiled bitterly and replied:
"In the end, there were a few brave people who saw it, but only one was alive the next day, and he was scared crazy!"
This thing is so damn weird!
The wretched man asked: "Did the person who went crazy in the end say what he saw?"
Cheng Hao took a deep breath, handed Bai Chi and the wretched man a cigarette each and said:
"This madman just kept repeating that the ghost is coming, the ghost is coming, and he died suddenly yesterday!"
Bai Chi and the wretched man looked at each other, why did they feel so scared when they heard this?
Cheng Hao raised his hand and took a puff of cigarette. Suddenly, Bai Chi seemed to feel that his action was a bit familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere...
The wretched man's voice interrupted Bai Chi's thoughts and asked: "Then have you taken a look?"
Bai Chi glared at the wretched man, wasn't he cursing him to death? But unexpectedly, Cheng Hao nodded and replied:
Chapter completed!
