When he woke up, Tan Cheng only felt that the whole world had changed. His teacher, Li Guoxian, was not only inseparable from Jiang Bo's murder case, but also involved the murder case that happened ten years ago in the tomb of Ninghua Village...
That Qiongshan Tomb has died before
This incident was also posted on the Internet a few days before he woke up, causing an uproar on the Internet in an instant. Qin Cheng also deliberately read a lot of analysis posts and blog posts that were forwarded and commented a lot. Some people even found out that Li Guoxian used to teach at N University before he came to X University, and coincidentally, the year Li Guoxian left N University, N University Archaeology The highly accomplished professor, Qi Shengkang, died that year.
"So, I have always wondered, Li Guoxian is not a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune. Although X University's archaeology is the strongest in China, it is only limited to archaeology. Speaking of the school's popularity and the school's popularity in China Status, the difference between X and N is not a star and a half. Li Guoxian is not obsessed with research at first sight, how can he suddenly run to X? Unless, at that time, he had to leave... "
This sentence is one of the blogger's analysis of the murder case. In Tan Cheng's view, although this sentence is full of loopholes and far-fetched, there is one thing that Tan Cheng agrees with.
Although he admired Li Guoxian's knowledge and accomplishments in archaeology, he also knew that Li Guoxian was a person who valued fame and fortune after studying with Li Guoxian for all these years...
However, all of a sudden, the teacher around him has become a murderer, causing a lot of old incidents, and also involving some people behind the murder case... It stands to reason that it will be somewhat difficult for Tan Cheng to accept it, but I don't know why , When Qin Cheng roughly figured out this matter, he accepted it quickly.
After waking up and staying in the hospital for two days, he felt that there was nothing serious about his health, so Tan Cheng didn't want to stay any longer.
But before he could leave the ward, Zhang Jun and Wu Hai walked out the door.
"Are you going to be discharged from the hospital? Are you healthy?" Zhang Jun naturally saw the bag Tan Cheng was carrying, and said, "If there are still problems, please observe for two more days."
"It's okay, I'm very satisfied with my current condition." Tan Cheng shook his arms when he said that, "It stands to reason that the muscles of my hands and feet should atrophy after lying down for so long, but it's strange, but I have no problem at all. ."
"… "
"...Maybe it's luck." Zhang Jun suddenly remembered a sentence, telling a lie, and he really needed thousands of lies to make up for it.
"Maybe," Qin Cheng smiled politely, looked at the two people in front of him and said, "I'm going to go through the discharge procedures, but I'm thankful for you during this time."
"Where, thank you... Hey, no, wait!"
After walking around the two of them, Qin Cheng stopped when he heard the words, "Why, is there anything else?"
"No, that," Zhang Jun hurriedly walked forward and rubbed the back of his head, "I'll go through the discharge procedures for you."
After being in a coma for so long, Zhang Jun and the others are willing to take care of him.
"By the way, I forgot. I will make a list of the hospitalization expenses during this period. I have to pay you back the hospitalization expenses."
"No, no." Zhang Jun thought, you've only been in the hospital for a few days. If you were asked to go through the discharge procedures, wouldn't it be exposed
"I still want it. They are still students. How much can you afford to pay for the hospitalization for these seven or eight months?"
"It's really not necessary," Wu Hai, who had been silent for a while, walked forward and said, "You were injured and hospitalized during your work period. The archaeological team and the school are responsible, and they have already reimbursed them."
"That's right." Zhang Jun looked at Wu Hai and nodded: "Wu Hai is right, this is also for me to handle the hospitalization for you. I'll settle the bill later."
"...That's it..." Qin Cheng thought about it, then nodded and said, "Then thank you..."
To be honest, Qin Cheng is not a talkative person either. He wanted to ask where the two of them were going later, but he felt that they were not so familiar, and there was no need to ask so wide.
Three big men stood in the hospital corridor without saying a word, which was not only strange, but also blocked the way. Qin Cheng was tall and looked like a telephone pole standing there, causing many passers-by to look sideways.
"Well, let's not stand here." Zhang Jun touched his nose, "I'm going to discharge you from the hospital, you should wait for me at the hospital door first."
Wu Hai nodded, and after Zhang Jun left, he and Tan Cheng waited at the door of the hospital.
After the winter solstice, the weather became very cold. On the last day of 2014, it snowed in Xi'an. It is probably the precipitation of history. Xi’an, which feels gray in summer, is different in winter. The ancient buildings that can be seen everywhere are covered by white snow, only showing the curved eaves, red lanterns, wooden pillars, all make people feel The lightness and beauty, hidden under the white snow, vaguely reveal the past of this city, the vicissitudes of this city...
The cool breath rushed towards his face, Qin Cheng exhaled softly, and the thick white mist drifted and dispersed. In the afternoon on a snowy day, there were many fewer vehicles on the street, looking at the snow falling in the distance. The ancient city wall of Xi'an, Qin Cheng felt inexplicably empty... Everyone said that Xi'an became Chang'an after the snow, but it really means so much.
"If you and Zhang Jun are not busy later, let's have a meal together." Tan Cheng returned to his senses, turned to look at Wu Hai and said, "Tomorrow is New Year's Day, you should be in Xi'an, right?"
Wu Hai nodded, "Zhang Junlai and I just wanted to ask you to have a meal together, and, didn't we tell you that your dormitory has been retired for a while in a coma, and we'll take you to a new location later. The rented house."
Qin Cheng nodded. Yesterday, Zhang Jun and Wu Hai talked about this. They said that the freshman entered the school in July, and the dormitory was not enough. He was in a coma, so he retire from the dormitory. Zhang Jun and Wu Hai found him a room outside the school. .
"Well, that's fine, I'll trouble you then."
"It's nothing." Wu Hai really didn't like Qin Cheng's polite and distant appearance, thinking that if it weren't for this period of time, he really didn't have a good image of Qin Cheng. Usually the two of them can't talk, and sometimes they say it's thorny. I'm afraid that in the eyes of Qin Cheng now, his image of Wu Hai is still the same as before.
"I didn't expect that you and Zhang Jun have a good relationship." Tan Cheng looked at Wu Hai and asked.
"We need to communicate more during this time, so we are getting closer. Zhang Jun is a good person to get along with."
"Yeah." Qin Cheng nodded, and when he saw Zhang Jun walking over, he raised his head, "Zhang Jun is here."
"Have you been waiting for a long time? There are a lot of people over there, and the queue has been a long time." Zhang Jun walked to Qin Cheng's side, and habitually put his hand on Qin Cheng's shoulder, "I'm all hungry, I didn't eat anything at noon, now It's time for dinner... let's go get something to eat."
Qin Cheng looked at the claws on his shoulders and wanted to let go, but he held back and only said, "What do you want to eat, let me treat you."
"What kind of guests are you invited? Just now, Yalan called me and said that they made a table of dishes at home. Let me show you two, go for a walk, and let's get some beer to bring back."
"Where are you going?" Tan Cheng was dragged by Zhang Jun until he staggered, and he couldn't get back to his senses. He didn't seem to be so familiar with these two.
"Where else can I go? Of course it's my house." Zhang Jun took it for granted, "It's not like you haven't been there before, are you still shy?"
"When have I been there?" Tan Cheng was a little puzzled, "I don't know where your home is."
"Hey, after the National Day,"
As soon as Zhang Jun said this, Wu Hai secretly rubbed his elbow.
Then I remembered that the last time Qin Cheng went to his house was after 11th... Qin Cheng can't remember this...
"What?" Tan Cheng looked at Zhang Jun, who suddenly stopped talking, and frowned, "Is it my bad memory, or did you make a mistake?"
"I remembered it wrong, I remembered it wrong," Zhang Jun smiled, "Last time it seems that Wu Hai went there."
"Well, it's me."
"Then you can go with Qin Cheng this time."
"Alright."
The place where Zhang Jun lives is not far away, and it takes 20 yuan to get there by taxi.
Qin Cheng wore few clothes, the weather was cold, and within five minutes of walking after getting out of the taxi, he felt icy all over. Seeing that Qin Cheng was wearing less clothes, Wu Hai asked Zhang Jun to take Qin Cheng back first, and he took a detour to the supermarket to buy beer.
Zhang Jun's house is on the seventh floor. It is an old-fashioned community. The highest floor is only seven floors, and there is no elevator. When the two climb up, it will not feel cold.
Qin Cheng hadn't exercised for a long time, and he couldn't breathe after climbing the seventh floor. Zhang Jun smiled and said, "Your physique is not good. In the future, we will make an appointment to play more games and practice." After speaking, Zhang Jun pointed He pointed to the house on his right, "Well, my house is here, and I'll be familiar with it if I come to play often in the future."
"Row."
Zhang Jun took out the key to open the door, but he didn't think about it, someone opened the door from inside. Qin Cheng, the girl who opened the door, had seen it. She was the girl who came with Zhang Jun and the others that day. Her face was red and she wore glasses. She said her name was Xia Tong.
Xia Tong met Qin Cheng's eyes when she opened the door. Seeing that Qin Cheng was looking at her, her face became even hotter, "I happened to be at the door just now and heard your voices outside the door..."
Seeing that Qin Cheng was wearing a thin summer coat, Xia Tong said anxiously, "Why are you wearing these clothes? Today is minus seven degrees, and it's snowing. Come in quickly, it's warm in the house."
Looking up at Qin Cheng, Xia Tong quickly stepped aside and welcomed the two in.
"What's 'you' 'our'," Zhang Jun looked at Xia Tong's flushed face, and joked, "It's clear that only Tan Cheng wears less, I'm wearing a down jacket."
Xia Tong was embarrassed to answer for a while, and even more embarrassed to look at Tan Cheng, so he lowered his head and changed the subject, "Why didn't you see Wu Hai? Didn't he say he came with you?"
"He's off to buy a beer. He'll be there in a minute."
"Beer?" said He Yalan, who brought out a dish from the kitchen, "I don't want to drink it on such a cold day."
"You don't get along, we three men drink."
"That's not good! Qin Cheng is good, how can you drink it!"
Tan Cheng looked at Xia Tong who was beside him who retorted, and couldn't help but smile, "It's alright, I can drink."
"no… "
Although Qin Cheng didn't talk much, he wasn't a fool. With the girl in front of him looking like this, he could naturally see that the girl had a good impression of him.
To be honest, he didn't hate it.
Looking at the girl with her head lowered and her long hair covering her red cheeks, Qin Cheng raised his lips slightly, and subconsciously said in a low voice, "Okay, what do you say..." It's fine...
However, before the last good word was uttered, an unspeakable suffocation suddenly surged into his heart, a kind of sourness from the bottom of his heart churned, as if there was a voice deep in his heart desperately telling him that this was the case. I can't say a word... I can't say it to the girl in front of me...
This made Qin Cheng confused for a moment, and even made him swallow those two words.
The feeling of palpitations came and went quickly. When Xia Tong spoke, Qin Cheng got rid of the inexplicable emotion.
"What?" Qin Cheng's voice was very low, and Xia Tong didn't hear it clearly, so he raised his head and asked, "What did you just say?"
Shaking his head, Qin Cheng thought about it, and finally said, "It's okay, drinking beer is fine."
Qin Cheng didn't want to say more, and Xia Tong didn't want to be annoying, so he didn't ask any more.
When Wu Hai came back, one or five people gathered around the square dining table and began to eat.
It is perfect to eat hot pot in winter, simmering thinly sliced beef and mutton, cooking all kinds of fresh vegetables, frying some peanuts with wine, and frying two snacks, five people can eat it be comfortable.
Beer is not easy to be intoxicated, but the more you drink, the more conversations you have. Tan Cheng raised his glass and gave Wu Hai and Zhang Jun a toast, "If it wasn't for you during this time, I probably wouldn't be able to talk about it in the past few months. It’s better, although it’s not good to say the word Xie too much, but I’m really grateful to both of you.”
Although this thank you was for the care of Wuhai and Zhang Jun for a few months, Wu Hai's Zhang Jun is also worthy in reality. For the tomb, Qin Cheng made a lot of foolishness and encountered a lot of things. Dangerous, if it wasn't for Zhang Jun and Wu Hai to help, I'm afraid...
Zhang Jun also thought of this, and he drank all the contents of the cup with his head sullen.
"...This time has not been easy, this matter is over," Zhang Jun said, and paused, "We graduate students, especially our small class led by Li Guoxian... Jiang Bo is the senior brother who has left, and Lin Hongxing has left. Even half of us have left, as well as Zhang Qishuo... Tang Jiaming... To be honest, I'm actually very scared."
After Zhang Jun said this, he poured a full glass of wine by himself and finished it with a few mouthfuls.
"Wu Hai and I have always been afraid, you kid, we'll leave like this one day."
Hearing this, Qin Cheng's hand holding the glass paused, and after a while, he raised the glass and clinked with Zhang Jun, took a sip of beer, but did not speak.
All of a sudden, so many people around me died. No one would want it to happen to anyone. The human heart is full of flesh.
"So, Tan Cheng, you can take good care of yourself, don't do anything stupid, it's really hard... to survive." Zhang Jun said this to Tan Cheng who has memory, but Now that Qin Cheng doesn't remember, it's a good thing to say no.
"Okay, I will live well." Qin Cheng replied,
Living should be a happy thing, but, even he himself doesn't know why, after saying this, he feels empty in his heart...
