fool around

Si Yu threw the pot of dead succulents on the table into the trash can, greeted his colleagues briefly, picked up the cardboard box, turned and walked out.

The vicious and sinister new director, Chen Yifan, was already waiting at the door of the office, holding a cup of pearl milk green in his right hand, putting his left hand in his pocket, crossing his feet, and leaning against the wall.He also carefully made a three-to-seven side-part hairstyle, with fluffy hair blown on the top of his head, wearing a bright yellow headband, and a yellow-green shirt with contrasting colors.

There are more than [-] people, and the nasolabial folds can squeeze out of the Mariana Trench. What kind of Korean fresh meat is imitated here?

Si Yu scoffed at him in his heart, tried to straighten his back, kept his right face indifferent, and at the same time, the corner of his left lip raised slightly, making a chic and unrestrained expression like a prodigal son, and walked forward without squinting.

"Xiao Si, are you leaving now?" Chen Yifan called him.

Si Yu didn't plan to pay attention to him. His direct leader and Chen Yifan were rivals. Last month, they each led a team and worked on a short video APP promotion project in Southeast Asia.Unexpectedly, the project had just started, and the leader had a serious car accident, so Si Yu had no choice but to bite the bullet and take the position of team leader.He stayed up four nights and finally came up with a plan, and asked a third-year intern in the group to send it to other people in the group. He also gave this file a rather intriguing name, called "Favorite の Teacher Xiaosi の Southeast Asian Video".

Within half a day, Si Yu was pointed at the head and scolded by three leaders in turn. Chen Yifan won the victory and was promoted to product director without any effort.

The resignation procedures dragged on for less than half a month, and they were finally completed today. Si Yu ordered milk tea for the whole department as a parting gift.

Chen Yifan chewed the pearls loudly, and commented: "Xiaosi, don't order from this store next time, although it is cheap, the pearls are really chewy! The newly opened Huangjue Noble Milk Tea is very good, a cup More than forty yuan, the advertisement said that the British royal family drank it..."

Si Yu pressed the elevator button, turning a deaf ear to Chen Yifan's nonsense.

Chen Yifan didn't feel bored when he put a cold ass on his butt. The more indifferent Si Yu became, the more energetic he became. Seeing that the elevator was about to arrive, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Xiao Si, where are you going next? How about bro?" send you off?"

Chen Yifan drives a Toyota Crown, which has no other advantages except that it is quite spacious.

Si Yu calculated his several pieces of luggage, and felt that Chen Yifan's car was barely enough, and also calculated that it would cost at least 300 yuan to take a taxi from the city to Gutang, and he also felt that a man should be subdued, and he would be an idiot if he had a car.

So he turned around and nodded, this time the corners of his left and right lips were raised, very symmetrically.He looked meek and calm, "Okay, brother Fan, please take me home first, and then send me to Gutang Village in the western suburbs."

Chen Yifan's smiling old face froze instantly, the trench was a bit deformed, and his hand holding the milk tea trembled slightly.He never expected that Si Yu not only agreed, but also made additional demands.

Seeing that he was unhappy, Si Yu felt very happy.

"Ding--"

When the elevator arrived, Si Yu stepped into the door with one foot and raised his chin at Chen Yifan: "Brother Fan, let's go."

Chen Yifan held up the headband, reluctantly followed Si Yu downstairs.

Chen Yifan's face was dark all the way, Si Yu guessed that he was worried about the gas money, and the gas price has been rising again these days, so Chen Yifan went out to pick up the bus driven by customers.

Si Yu went back to the rental house first, his luggage was packed a few days ago, one backpack and two suitcases, he carried them upstairs and left.

He put the larger suitcase in the trunk and the smaller suitcase in the back seat.

Chen Yifan glanced in the rear mirror, and the wheels of Si Yu's suitcase touched lightly on the seat cushion. His precious car was just sent for maintenance last week, so he yelled anxiously: "Hey hey! Your broken suitcase Be careful! Don't scratch it!"

"It's okay, if it's broken, you don't need to pay for it." Si Yu straightened the box, exposed the huge logo to the front, and said with a generous smile, "My trolley box has more than 2 yuan, and the British nobles are in it." use."

Chen Yifan was silent, Si Yu sat in the co-pilot, put on his seat belt, blinked and said, "Brother, let's go."

"Why are you going to Gutang?" Chen Yifan took the initiative to ask while waiting for the red light.

Gutang is a new village developed by the municipal government a few years ago, in the most remote mountain in the western suburbs.A few years ago, a real estate agent planned to develop a resort and went to Xishan to see the land. He didn't expect that there were people living in the barren hills where the birds don't shit.Afterwards, the city held an activity of "Building the most beautiful primitive village". The slogan was very enthusiastic, but it did not arouse much response.Most people are the same as Chen Yifan, just watch it as a news, and whoever has nothing to do goes to the poor and dirt mountain.

"Supporting education." Si Yu replied.

"what?"

When the green light came on, Chen Yifan stepped on the accelerator, and the car got on the viaduct. He pushed down the window and laughed out loud in the wind.

Si Yu pulled the seat belt with both hands, somewhat embarrassed.

An Internet company engaged in products, and after losing his job, he went to a poor village he had never heard of to engage in education. It sounds like the evil boss who wants to take a hard seat on the train to Tibet for a pilgrimage to cleanse his soul.

Chen Yifan laughed with tears in his eyes, and the whistling wind poured down his throat, he coughed a few times, and said hypocritically: "Xiao Si, you are only so old, but you just encountered a small setback, you must not give yourself up..."

"Brother Fan, you don't understand this." Si Yu was serious and recited the words in the recruitment brochure verbatim. Get self-recognition."

Chen Yifan suppressed a smile, and shrugged his shoulders up and down: "Have ideals, have ambitions, be good!"

The car gradually drove out of the urban area, and the driveway became narrower and narrower. After passing through a tunnel, there were almost no people to be seen. There were undulating hills on both sides of the road, and a blood-red sun was hidden behind the peaks.

Si Yu leaned his head on the cushion, and suddenly saw a black shadow flying across the sky in the distance, the black wings melting into the rich dark green in the mountains.

Si Yu's heart skipped a beat, he was holding the window frame with both hands, half of his body was almost leaning out, he turned his head and stared into the distance for more than ten seconds, but there was nothing.

The blood-red sun gradually sank into the back of the mountain, and Si Yu's heart was beating wildly.

"What are you doing, Xiaosi?" Chen Yifan said, "Although there is no surveillance in this poor place, traffic rules must still be obeyed. What if points are deducted?"

Si Yu sat back on his seat and said, "It's okay, maybe my eyes were blurred, and I saw a big bird."

"What a big fuss," Chen Yifan snorted, "I went to Australia for vacation the year before last, and the birds there were so loud. You just have too little experience..."

Si Yu licked his dry lips and took a deep breath.

"By the way, Gutang is haunted by ghosts, have you heard?" Chen Yifan suddenly changed the subject.

"Haunted?" Si Yu said, "I don't believe in those."

"I read Weibo in the morning and saw someone talking about it! There are often crying in the mountains at night, and some people shout 'let me go', 'save me' and so on," Chen Yifan gloated a little, "this kind of thing is more believable. Yes, be careful yourself, don't blame brother for not reminding you."

Si Yu was a little flustered by what he said. After all, it was a deserted village in the mountains, and if he made a ghost, it would humiliate this unique geographical environment.

There is no asphalt road in the front section, and there is only a dirt road with potholes. There is a stone tablet on the side of the road, engraved with the word "Gutang", and an arrow is thoughtfully placed at the bottom.

Chen Yifan put Si Yu on the side of the road, flicked his bangs, and whistled: "It's getting dark, brother won't send you in, I'll keep in touch if there's anything to do."

Toyota turned around and sped away, Si Yu was lost in the stench of car exhaust.

It was almost eight o'clock in the evening, the sky was dark, and there was a dirt road sandwiched between the lush woods. Looking ahead, it seemed that there was a thin layer of mist in front, making it difficult to see clearly.

There were no street lights, so Si Yu turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone for illumination, feeling an instinctive fear of the desolate and secluded environment.

Even though it was in the mountains, there was a dead silence, no birds or cicadas.Si Yu raised his head and looked around, the forest on the high place showed a strange black mass, thick enough to drip ink.

Si Yu stomped his feet to embolden him, and there was a green light shining in the forest, like the eyes of some kind of beast. Si Yu was so frightened that he took two quick steps back, thinking of the "haunted" that Chen Yifan said just now, he couldn't help but his legs went weak.

He retreated to the asphalt road, thinking that Fan Tianxing had left him a phone number, which belonged to the village head of Gutang Village, and asked him to call this number when he arrived.

Si Yu searched the phone book for a long time before he found out that the village head was called Lin Mubai, and he waited for a long time to get through after dialing the number.

"Hello, I'm Si Yu, the new teacher hired by Director Fan." He spoke quickly, "I've arrived at the stone monument at the entrance of the village, but I don't know how to get there."

"You are the new human!"

No matter how awkward this sounded, Si Yu repeated it and said, "Yes, I am the new teacher."

Lin Mubai was a little excited when he heard the voice: "You walk in along that road first! Just go straight!"

"I..." Si Yu stammered, "I, I..."

I can't fucking dare!

"You, you, you..." Lin Mubai seemed to find it interesting, imitating Si Yu and said, "Come in!"

"Can I trouble you to come out and pick it up?" Si Yu said hesitantly.

"I can't get out!" Lin Mubai blurted out.

"Ah?" Si Yu didn't understand.

"Oh," Lin Mubai suddenly became serious, "I mean I'm very busy, and I have to deal with a lot of business every day."

Si Yu raised his arm and looked at his watch. It was a quarter past eight. What could the head of a dilapidated village be so busy with?

"You go in first," Lin Mubai said, "follow that road to the end, and I'll ask Brother Qi to pick you up in a car."

Si Yu glanced in the direction of the dirt road, it was pitch black, a gust of wind blew, and the leaves rustled slightly as they rubbed against each other.

"Come on!" Lin Mubai was as enthusiastic as a mother in front of Fengyuechang, "Come on, come on! The whole village can't wait!"

I didn't expect the villagers of Gutang to be so enthusiastic.

Si Yu was a little moved in his heart, after all, he is a villager living in the mountains, and the folk customs are so simple.

"Okay," Si Yu gritted his teeth, "You tell that seventh brother to come quickly, and I'll go in right away."

"Don't worry," Lin Mubai didn't know what to be happy about, he giggled on the other end of the phone, "Brother Qi drives very fast, he must be faster than you walking on two legs."

Si Yu put his mobile phone in his trousers pocket, just revealing the corner of the flashlight for lighting. He dragged a box with one hand, lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the sides, and walked in quickly with his neck shrunk.

The rollers of the railing box were knocked back and forth by small stones, making protesting sounds.

Si Yu also felt distressed. Last year, the company organized a team building trip to Hainan. He spent a lot of money to buy a brand-name box to pretend to be aggressive, and he was reluctant to check it in by plane.

This treasure box has never even been on the airport conveyor belt, and it has been reduced to being rubbed madly by small stones in the village.

Si Yu tremblingly walked for a full ten minutes, and was finally about to finish the walk.

There was a thick layer of fog in front of him, Si Yu blinked vigorously, but the fog was so thick that he couldn't see anything.

The mobile phone in his pocket just announced that the battery was exhausted, and Si Yu was completely plunged into darkness.

He didn't know why his heart was beating so hard. There was something hard in his backpack that stuck to his back. He touched it with his backhand. It was the mahogany sword left by his father.

He remembered that before setting off, he had wrapped the sword in his clothes first, and then put it in his bag. Why did the sword come to this place?

It is estimated that it was bumped on the road.

Si Yu didn't think much, and tried to reach out and touch it.

The hands are cold, without substance, just a clammy touch.The hairs on Si Yu's arms stood on end, cold sweat dripped down his forehead, he hesitated and dared not go forward, let alone retreat the same way.

There was a small noise in the woods, Si Yu maintained the shape of one hand stretched forward, even holding his breath, pretending that he was a stone or a tree.

"Boom—chug—"

Suddenly there was a loud noise, and Si Yu was so frightened that his whole body trembled, his face turned pale, and he closed his eyes with trembling lips.

The continuous roar was getting closer and closer, and Si Yu's whole body was stiff, as if he heard the announcement of death.

Then, a large blinding light broke through the darkness, arrogantly illuminating the entire area.

Si Yu mustered up the courage to open his eyes, squinted his eyes and looked over, the dazzling white light penetrated the thick fog, it was the headlights.

"Is it Brother Seven?"

Si Yu breathed a sigh of relief and called out cautiously.

A hand grabbed his hand in the mist and pulled it hard again. With a low cry, Si Yu was dragged into someone's arms without warning.

Behind the thick fog is the ancient pond. Si Yu couldn't tell what it was like, but he felt that he was cool outside just now. After penetrating through this layer of fog, the weird feeling of coldness disappeared.

Si Yu leaned his head on one shoulder, and saw a bulletin board first with the headlights of the car. There was a poster on it, which said "4G network has fully covered Gutang Village".

Si Yu's heart sank completely, how could there be ghosts in places with socialist 4G networks?

"Excuse me, get off of me."

A deep voice sounded, the sound quality was very cold, as if it was about to melt into the dark night.

"Excuse me."

Only then did Si Yu realize that he was still leaning on the opponent, and hurriedly took a step back.The man standing before him wore an ankle-length black cloak, which also wore a hood at night.He stood with his back to the light source, with a straight body, and the light outlined his side face. His complexion was very fair, his lips were thin, pursed into a straight line, and his whole person was cold and alienated.

The loose hat brim can barely cover his eyes, Si Yu can't see his whole face clearly, but only from the outline of the lower half of his face, this seventh brother is a bit too handsome.

"Get in the car." The man threw down two cold words, turned around first, and walked towards the car at a fast pace.

Si Yu followed behind him with a bag on his back, suddenly thought of something, subconsciously reached out and pulled his cloak.

"Is something wrong?"

He turned his face towards Si Yu, and Si Yu saw his eyes through the light, the eyes were narrow and long, the eye sockets were deeper than ordinary people, the pupils were rich black, the corners of the eyes were slightly curved, and the eyes were cold.

"I haven't got my suitcase yet." Si Yu hurriedly let go.

"Yeah." The man nodded without moving.

Si Yu sighed lightly, and said with some embarrassment: "Can I trouble you to accompany me to get it?"

He really didn't dare to walk through the clammy fog alone.

The man looked at Si Yu without any emotion, that look was no different from looking at a stone or a tree.

"No."
