Well of Mystery

It was July last year, and the weather had started to become humid and hot after the dog days, but it was not as unbearable as the dog days.

Since it was the peak season, Su Zi picked up two groups of tourists this afternoon, and it was already around six o'clock when they all sent them off.He bought something random in the small shop next to the parking lot to fill his stomach. After eating, he leaned on the chair in the waiting room of the bus station in Nanmen Square and closed his eyes to rest. midnight.

Tailing Scenic Area is open every day from 6:1 am to [-]:[-] pm.The parking lot at [-]:[-] a.m. was already empty, not even a car.In order to save electricity, all the street lamps were not turned on, only the light of the full moon sprinkled from the top of the head, like the layer of silver powder on the hairtail.

All the shops in the east and north were closed, and some of them had evil talisman papers and door gods pasted on the door panels, which looked a bit intrusive from a distance.

After all, this is still a big graveyard. Who would want to stay beside the graveyard in the middle of the night?

I can't sleep, but I can't walk out - Tailing is still quite a distance from the county seat, not to mention the woods and wasteland, it seems that it is not much safer than here.

After thinking about it, Su Zi decided to try her luck at the gate of the research institute, where there is also a bus station.Considering that the employees of the Zhangling Research Institute may work overtime, the county specially opened a night bus.

Hope it's still in time.

Su Zi got up immediately, and walked along the concrete road in the northwest direction against the towering sacred wall in the mausoleum area. It should take about 10 minutes to arrive at the research institute.

However, both sides of this section of the road are covered with towering old trees, and the temperature is two or three degrees lower than other places on weekdays. When walking at night, it feels even more chilly and windy, and even the shadows of the swaying trees on the ground seem to be able to What kind of monsters and ghosts are conjured up.

Su Zi bit the bullet and walked forward, turning a small bend.Leng kept finding someone in front of him.

He swore that he was absolutely right—there were two figures, one tall and one short, walking silently about 100 meters in front of him.

They didn't bring flashlights, they didn't push bicycles or mopeds, and they didn't even seem to have bags on them... they just walked with empty hands.

Is this normal? !

Su Zi felt her scalp tingle for a while, almost 100% sure that she bumped into something unclean.He didn't dare to go up to look, but he didn't want to go back to the empty parking lot, so he found a corner to hide.Secretly observe the movement of the two people in front.

Strange to say.Those two people walked forward a few steps, suddenly turned a corner, and actually walked towards the base of the divine wall.

Yes... there seems to be a side door there.Is it really the security guards who watch the night in the mausoleum area?

Su Zi wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.After squatting on the spot for a while, after confirming that the two people really did not come out again, I boldly continued to walk forward.

Soon, he also came to the place where the two people disappeared just now.Turning his head to the left, he happened to see a small vermilion lacquer door that opened opposite.It should be a sidewalk for the employees of the mausoleum area to enter and exit.

A false alarm, a false alarm...

Su Zi took a deep breath, then suddenly became curious again, walked over carefully and looked into the crack of the door.Want to figure out which part of the mausoleum area this is...

A big blood-red eye suddenly appeared in the crack of the door!

"Then I just rolled out of the chair at the bus stop."

Speaking of this, Su Zi rubbed her shoulders symbolically: "It turns out that my people have been sleeping in the square all the time. What was there just now was just a dream."

"Dream?" Bai Xiuqi frowned.He looked at Su Zi with some doubts.

Su Zi kicked him lightly under the table again, but said with a smile: "Where are there really ghosts, foxes and fairies in this world. What else can it be if it's not a dream?"

He answered easily here.On the other hand, several people at the research institute looked at each other, with a hint of weirdness hidden in their expressions.

Or Zhang Han asked him: "You are talking about what happened at one o'clock in the morning on July [-]th last year?"

"Yeah." Su Zi nodded: "It turned out that something really happened that night, didn't it?"

There is nothing that cannot be told to outsiders—anyway, on July 7 last year, Zhang Han had not been transferred here, and what happened that night had already been published in newspapers and magazines.

A burial tomb to the west of the Tailing Mausoleum collapsed due to years of disrepair, and the sunken tomb pavilion fell into the tomb chamber, destroying many precious cultural relics including the coffin.Many people in the mausoleum area were punished for this, and it is said that the dismissal of the sub-principal was also related to this matter.

The incident has passed for more than a year, and of course it has faded a lot; but once the old incident is brought up again, everyone in the research institute is still a little nervous, and listening to Su Zi's story also feels that there is something in it.

Chen Chao, who had the best relationship with Su Zi, came out to liven up the atmosphere.

"I said, you kid didn't go back and stayed in the parking lot in the middle of the night. Could it be that you have other thoughts? Tell me, did you collapse the cemetery?"

Su Zi also acted innocently: "Did you forget that I had no place to live at that time? If I didn't sleep in the parking lot, I would have to sleep in the bridge hole."

"You have no place to live?" Zhang Han asked, "What's going on?"

"Because I don't have an ID card, and I don't have any money." Su Zi answered lightly: "Anyway, it's summer, so there's nothing you can't live with."

Zhang Han asked again: "What about now?"

"Now I live in a friend's house, with walls and a roof, everything is fine."

After answering this sentence, Su Zi raised his wine glass to Zhang Han: "Thank you for your concern, the leader, I will do it first as a respect."

After finishing speaking, he raised his head and drank it down, and turned the cup upside down as proof.

Zhang Han was also unambiguous, and took the initiative to fill up his wine glass and drink freely.

Xiao Li, who is the best at observing words and expressions, also took the opportunity to raise his glass: "Come on, let's all cheer, cheer!"

The wine is the carved plum wine brewed by this restaurant. It is easy to drink, but it has a lot of stamina.After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the alcohol began to dissipate, and the atmosphere gradually became active.

Perhaps it can be regarded as a common "tactic" on the wine table. The "stormtrooper" composed of Chen Chao and Xiao Li launched "attacks" on the two guests in turn.Although Bai Xiuqi repeatedly explained that he was too weak to drink, they were completely unmoved, and even did not hesitate to complete the task with a suicide attack of "you take a sip and I drink".

On the other hand, real Su Zi didn't show his face, not only took the initiative to hold back a few drinks for Bai Xiuqi, but also tried to persuade Director Cheng and Minister Xu to have a few drinks, making those two gentlemen blush.In the end, Director Xu made an excuse to urinate, while Director Cheng lay on the table, not knowing whether he was pretending to be asleep or really fainted.

Really unable to resist, Bai Xiuqi had no choice but to get up and pee.

He stumbled all the way out of the box and walked towards the bathroom. As soon as he reached the sink, he saw Minister Xu washing his face with water.The two of them smiled heartily when they saw each other, and Minister Xu even offered to hand him a cigarette.

"As for the layout of the new exhibition hall, I will ask Mr. Bai for advice in the future."

Bai Xiuqi replied politely: "I don't dare to teach, I just came here to learn. If it can add icing on the cake, it would be great."

Minister Xu nodded with a smile.

"Speaking of which, you and I are quite destined. When I was first assigned here, I was doing mural restoration and copying. At that time, your grandfather happened to be studying murals in Tailing, and he taught me a lot. .Although it’s a bit boastful to say so-I can also be regarded as half of his disciple.”

"My grandfather has been here?" Bai Xiuqi asked curiously.

"Yeah. Uh...he's been to this store."

Minister Xu signaled Bai Xiuqi to follow him, and the two of them smoked cigarettes and came to the aisle on the second floor, searched left and right, and locked on an old photo in the frame on the wall.

There is really a grandfather in the photo.

Bai Xiuqi felt emotional for a moment, and wanted to take out his phone to take a photo of the photo, and then remembered the terrible thing about the phone being stolen.

Fortunately, the future is long, and this matter can be done slowly.

Perhaps aware of the conspiracy of the two of them "piss escape", Super Chen ran out with light steps holding a wine glass to arrest people.The three of them returned to the box again.

In less than ten minutes, the "wind direction" on the wine table seemed to have slightly changed——

For some reason, Su Zi sat in Bai Xiuqi's seat, with his back slightly arched, his left hand resting on his chin, his eyes squinted in a sleepy state, and most of his body was almost leaning into Zhang Han's arms.

But Zhang Han is still sitting still, although Su Zi leans on his right hand, he still calmly raises his glass and drinks with his left hand.

For some reason, Bai Xiuqi felt that the scene was quite harmonious.

Directly opposite Su Zi and Zhang Han, Director Cheng, who was lying on his stomach and pretending to be dead just now, has been "resurrected".He didn't seem to be awake either, his eyes were red and he couldn't speak clearly.

"I have a niece who is 22 years old and is studying at a university in the United States... She is tall and beautiful. She needs to be temperamental, knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Would you like to introduce me to you..." At this point , he burped: "Xiao Su?"

Is this a matchmaking match for Su Zi? !

Bai Xiuqi really didn't understand what was going on.Obviously not long ago, this curator Cheng didn't even want to clink glasses with Su Zi, why is the relationship so good now?

He was thinking about it, when he saw Su Zi shaking his head in a drunken way: "Thank you...but I really don't need it."

Over there, curator Cheng asked again: "No? Difficult... Could it be that you have a date?"

"...No." Su Zi still shook her head: "I'm so poor, I'd better not harm other people."

Having said that, he turned his head to look at Zhang Han's face again, and said with a chuckle: "Introduce to Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan is so handsome, talented, and rich... This is the best candidate ah."

Faced with his series of compliments, Zhang Han did not make any response.The curator Cheng over there opened his mouth as if he had something to say, but then fell down on the table with a "smack" and fell asleep soundly.

"Let's stop here today." Zhang Han finally spoke, "Find someone to send all the drunks home, so don't delay tomorrow's work."
