I don't believe in ghosts today

Early on Monday morning, Zou Hao was woken up by Zhou Yunling's phone call. "Hey, Zou Hao, why haven't you come yet? Everyone is waiting for you."

"Ah?" Zou Hao sat up in a daze. "Aren't I on vacation today?"

"Didn't Boss Fan agree with you? You're going on a trip with us this week. Are you stupid?" Zhou Yunling said ferociously.

Zou Hao rubbed his eyes, became a little more awake, and remembered the night before he was discharged from the hospital. "Well, it seems that he told me... But he didn't tell me that he was going to leave today."

"Pack up your things and come here quickly..." Zhou Yunling said halfway through, when Li Yifan's voice could be vaguely heard on the phone, Zhou Yunling immediately changed the words, and her voice softened immediately: "Then pack your bags, we will go downstairs to your house pick you up."

After hanging up the phone, Zou Hao struggled to get up, unplugged his mobile phone charger, and stuffed two sets of clothes into his backpack. When he went downstairs, the Toyota minibus from Qiyi Company had just arrived and stopped at the in front of him.

Zou Hao got into the car and took a look, he knew everyone who went there.Sitting in the first row were Qin Yan and Zhou Yunling. Qin Yan was resting on a U-shaped pillow, catching up on sleep. "It's good that you're here, go and sit down." Zhou Yunling suppressed her dissatisfaction and forced a smile.

In the second row on the left is Li Yifan, with earphones and sunglasses on, expressionless.On the right is Peng Lili, who gave Zou Hao a very disgusted look, and approached Li Yifan with a smile all over her face.Sitting in the third row was a young couple, programmer Feng Hanzhao and accountant Tang Yun, who greeted Zou Hao warmly.

Zou Hao turned his face away from Li Yifan, went straight to the last row and sat down.

"Okay," Zhou Yunling turned her head and announced, "The Chess Tourist Team is officially starting!"

The minibus sped along the expressway and soon left the Chengdu Plain. The high-rise buildings outside the window gradually evolved into farmland, small slopes, hills and magnificent mountains.Six hours later, the minibus drove out of the expressway, followed an uneven concrete road through the mountains, and drove into a silent valley.A group of stone buildings appeared on the side of the road, which seemed to be a village, built against the mountain, in a well-arranged pattern.Zou Hao saw a stone standing at the entrance of the village, with "Diaolou Tourist Village" written in bright red characters.

Zou Hao faintly felt that something was wrong with this village, and after looking at it for a while, he realized that there was no one in this village.Not only is there no one, the windows and doors of all the houses are tightly closed, without any traces of human activities, like a dead city.

"There are too few people here." Tang Yun looked out of the window and couldn't help feeling emotional.

"You stay in the software park every day, and the peak road will be blocked in the morning and evening. There are not enough people?" Feng Hanzhao laughed. "When you travel, don't you just want to find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters and few people."

When Zhou Yunling heard the conversation between the two, she turned her head and smiled. "Mr. Feng's interpretation is exactly what I want."

The car stopped in front of a stone building with a height of three or four floors. "This is our destination," Zhou Yunling jumped out of the car, pointing to the stone building beside her, "This is the famous Internet celebrity homestay, Tusi Diaolou." The Diaolou is connected to a stone tower with a height of six or seven floors. The tallest building in the entire village.

The other six people also packed their luggage and got out of the car.After sitting in the car for more than seven hours, everyone was a little tired and moved their bodies one after another.

"Mr. Fan, take a quick look, this tower is really tall," Peng Lili said to Li Yifan holding her voice, "I thought people in ancient times couldn't build such a tall building!"

Li Yifan took off his sunglasses and smiled faintly. "There are a lot of things you don't know. Did you know that people in ancient times built spaceships to explore the moon?"

"Really?" Peng Lili believed it was true, with a look of surprise.

"Of course it's true," Li Yifan said seriously, "otherwise how did Chang'e get to the Moon Palace?"

Even Zou Hao couldn't help laughing, Li Yifan turned his head and winked at him.Only Peng Lili hasn't recovered yet: "Ah? So Chang'e went there by spaceship?"

After creaking, the heavy wooden door of the watchtower was slowly pushed open, and an old man with black round sunglasses appeared behind the door.

"A guest from Chengdu?" the old man spoke in Western Sichuan dialect.

"Yes," Zhou Yunling nodded, "You are Uncle Xu?"

A sly smile appeared on the old man's face. "It's not me, who else could it be? Come in, follow me."

A group of people followed Uncle Xu into the watchtower, walked through a dark corridor, stepped on the dilapidated wooden stairs that seemed to be broken at any time, and went up to the second floor.

"Your rooms are all on this floor." Uncle Xu pointed to a row of rooms on the second floor. "Seven people, four rooms, you allocate it yourself. Lunch is ready, you can come down and eat after you put away your food." The corridor on the second floor is connected to a small terrace, which is slightly brighter than the first floor, but still brighter than the first floor. It is much darker outside, and you have to turn on the lights to see where the room is.

Uncle Xu turned around and went downstairs, almost bumping into Zou Hao. "Master, please slow down." Zou Hao helped the uncle up the stairs, only to realize that Uncle Xu was walking very slowly while leaning on the wall, as if he had some vision problems.

"It's too cold here," Peng Lili stood next to Li Yifan and breathed on her hand, "Let's allocate a room quickly." The temperature here is approaching subzero, but Peng Lili is wearing a short skirt and high heels, and her teeth are so cold Trembling.

"Xiaoyun and I live in the same room, is that okay?" Programmer Feng Hanzhao was a little embarrassed.

"Of course." Li Yifan smiled, "Could it be that we still dare to beat the mandarin ducks?"

When the young couple walked into the first room hand in hand, Peng Lili looked at Li Yifan and then at Zhou Yunling. After struggling for a while, she reached out and took Qin Yan's arm. "I live with Mr. Yan! Mr. Yan, you don't despise me, do you?"

"Why would I dislike you? You are the designer I can trust the most." Qin Yan replied with a smile.

"Then, little Zou," Li Yifan turned to Zou Hao, "Yunling and I, which one do you choose?"

Zou Hao was helpless. "Choose you."

Zhou Yunling let out a long sigh of relief. "I'm really a little scared, what if you choose me!"

Zou Hao fearfully followed Li Yifan into the room, fearing that Li Yifan would make another move.Not only did Li Yifan not do anything, but when Zou Hao went to the toilet, Li Yifan even opened his portable laptop, connected to Wi-Fi and began to deal with his work, which seemed like Zou Hao was being self-indulgent.

The walls of the room are also made of stone, painted with a layer of white paint, and hung with hand-woven tapestry, which has a unique flavor.Zou Hao sat down by the bed, turned on his phone and played games, but knowing that Li Yifan was sitting next to him, his thoughts kept going to that night, the fireworks on the treetops, the light kiss on the corner of his lips... Zou Hao was in a mess, Not in the state of playing games at all, and gave away two heads in less than 5 minutes.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Zhou Yunling to knock on the door. "Boss Fan, Zou Hao, let's go downstairs to eat." Zou Hao felt relieved, left Li Yifan behind and ran down alone.

Uncle Xu made them a big pot of roasted chicken with potatoes, a red pot of soup, fragrant and spicy.There are also stir-fried beef with kimchi and fried bacon with garlic sprouts, all of which are very western Sichuan-style dishes with a strong taste.It was almost two o'clock, and everyone was so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs. They quickly wiped out all the dishes on the table. Even Qin Yan, who was always weak, ate two bowls of rice.

"Mr. Fan, colleagues, I'll go back first, and I'll pick you up later. I wish you a good time." After lunch, the driver brother said goodbye to the members of the tour team, and drove away in the minibus.

"Let me show you this watchtower." Uncle Xu led them through the dimly lit watchtower. "Decades ago, this was the residence of a chieftain. Many slaves gave their lives to build this watchtower. It is said that because of this reason, this watchtower is often haunted by ghosts. The chieftain married several wives. They all went crazy one after another, and ended their lives in the watchtower."

The footsteps of the eight people and Uncle Xu's voice echoed between the four walls, making this building, which had no light in the first place, particularly gloomy.Everyone seemed a little scared. Zou Hao walked at the end of the line and saw Tang Yun holding Feng Hanzhao's hand tightly. Peng Lili leaned on Li Yifan desperately.

Walking outside the door of a huge room, Uncle Xu stopped in his tracks. "This is a chapel. 100 years ago, a missionary came to this village and brought faith from afar. Our chieftain is very pious and always believes that God will save him from this nightmare. However, unfortunately, he was eventually consumed by this nightmare. 50 years ago, the chieftain hanged himself in this chapel."

"Master, I don't even want to go in after you say that..." Peng Lili hid behind Li Yifan, reached out and grabbed Li Yifan's clothes.

"I want to go in and have a look." Li Yifan walked in resolutely.

"Boss Fan..." Peng Lili stomped her feet anxiously, hesitated for a moment, and then bit the bullet and chased after him.

Zhou Yunling stood beside Zou Hao, spreading her hands helplessly. "Look, it's really not our Fan Boss' fault."

After listening for a while, Zou Hao realized that Zhou Yunling was talking to himself. "I don't care." Zou Hao muttered softly, and followed the crowd into the chapel.

Sunlight shines on the altar through the only window inlaid with stained glass. A ceramic god statue stands quietly, with calm and benevolent eyes, and several benches with mottled paint are placed in front of it, covered with dust.On the ceiling, there are wooden beams horizontally. It is here that the chieftain hanged himself and ended his life decades ago.

"Ah!!" Tang Yun screamed suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Everyone hurriedly gathered around.

"There are human bones in this wall!" Tang Yun pointed at the stone wall, trembling all over.

"Who's bones, don't talk nonsense, you're frightening everyone." Feng Hanzhao leaned close to the wall and observed carefully, but his expression suddenly changed. "This... seems to be really a human bone."
