Wind and Rain

Man or Ghost

Helan Mountain was barely visible through the raging wind and rain.

Professor Zhu Chaoye of the archaeological team stood in the doorway, his face clouded with worry. He paid no attention as muddy raindrops blew through the door of the container housing and landed on him and inside the room.

"Professor, are you worried about Doctor Li?"

Assistant Jiang Yue came to Professor Zhu Chaoye's side, intending to persuade him to close the door. The rain was simply too heavy.

"Yes! I wonder how things are going over there."

Suddenly, someone rushed out of the Royal Tomb entrance, shouting at the top of his lungs.
