(The inspiration for this story came from a dream of mine, and when I woke up from it last night, my first reaction was not to be frightened, but to say: Eh, there's another story to write!) ）

Every year after the Chinese New Year, some large companies will organize and arrange travel for all employees in the company in March and April. Summer's company was no exception, and after discussion with the company's upper echelons, it was decided to arrange for them to go to a farmhouse in a neighboring province. The farmhouse doesn't sound like much, but it's a natural place, with a pleasant view and fresh air, which is refreshing. This is also the decision of the company's upper management to consider that everyone is usually under too much pressure at work and their bodies are in sub-health.

That day, after everyone gathered downstairs in the company, they got on the bus and ran towards the farmhouse.

As soon as I walked into the farmhouse, my colleagues, who had complained a little about the company's decision to travel here, were instantly attracted by the scenery here, and the laughter on their faces gradually increased.

"It's a nice place here, isn't it summer." After walking into the courtyard of the farmhouse, Xu Jiashan said to Summer.

The farmhouse is halfway up the mountain, and the bus can only go up a short distance, and the rest of the tourists have to climb hundreds of steps to get there, and I heard that the owner does it so that the people in the city can exercise. After coming up in the summer, he was already out of breath, and Xu Jiashan's large suitcase of luggage was handed over to him, so he was even more tired and couldn't catch his breath. He had no time to enjoy the scenery, so he gasped and complained, "Yes, yes, but why do you let me take your salute every time I go out with you?" ”

"First, I'm your boss, second, you're a boy, and third, you're ......" Before he finished speaking, Xu Jiashan snatched the salute from Summer's hand, smiled evilly and walked into the hall of the farmhouse.

Boys usually only bring some change of clothes when they go out, and after Xu Jiashan took away the luggage, her hands were empty in the summer. He straightened up with a long sigh of relief, looked up at the blue sky, opened his arms and enjoyed the embrace of nature, and breathed in the fresh air.

At the moment when Summer looked up, Han noticed something unusual, and soon the image that Han saw spread to Summer's mind. The wooden roof takes on the unique yellow color of wood in the sun, but the roof is surrounded by a cloud of black gas, which is the result of a long-standing resentment.

"What's going on?" Summer asked with some concern after seeing this picture.

"I don't know now, but I'd better be careful." Han cautiously reminded.

Summer's face became solemn, and he walked into the hall of the farmhouse in contemplation, only to find that there were no other guests in the huge farmhouse except for the people in their company. The owner explained to them that it was to receive them and that he was worried that the room would not be enough to receive other guests.

Xu Jiashan saw that Summer's face was not very good, and walked forward and said, "What's wrong with you, your face is so ugly?" ”

"I didn't ...... Nothing, tired. Summer replied hesitantly.

Xu Jiashan smiled when she heard the answer, and said with a very aggrieved look, "Why don't you just let you take a salute, as for this?" ”

"Then you're going to try?"

"Try it, I'll help you get it back to your room." Xu Jiashan said, and at the same time forcibly took off the summer backpack from the sadness of summer, pulled up his towbar box and walked forward.

The relationship between Xia and Xu Jiashan has long been an open secret, and some colleagues in the company smiled when they saw it.

Xu Jiashan left the room after putting down her luggage, not long after Xu Jiashan left, Xia wanted to lie on the bed to rest and rest, but she didn't expect to fall asleep when she lay down, and it was already dark when she woke up.

Summer walks into the yard, which is full of tiny neon lights and colleagues are having a barbecue party. He went to the courtyard and looked down the mountain, the foot of the mountain was pitch black, there were no lights in the city, only the houses with the lights on were like stars. There is no noisy music, the roaring car whistle, only the laughter of colleagues, and the occasional homecoming birdsong, the rare tranquility makes people feel comfortable, and it also reminds me of home far away in summer.

Xu Jiashan saw Xia alone next to the yard, walked up to him and asked, "Your hometown is as beautiful as here." ”

"Almost......" Xia took the wine glass in Xu Jiashan's hand and nodded.

"I've drunk this......," Xu Jiashan exclaimed.

"Really? That's back to you. Summer stuffed the wine glass back into Xu Jiashan's hand and walked into the crowd.

The happy time is always so short, everyone is tired after a day's travel, and there are fewer people in the yard. Now only Summer, Xu Jiashan, the owner of the farmhouse, and the waiter who is cleaning are left.

A crescent moon in the distance, without the surrounding of the stars, seems so lonely. The three of them sat side by side, toasted to each other, and after drinking it all, Xu Jiashan looked at the owner of the farmhouse and asked curiously, "How did you come up with the idea of opening a farmhouse here?" ”

Hearing Xu Jiashan's question, the smile on the farmer's face disappeared, and he replied with a sad expression, "I promised my girlfriend that I would return to her hometown to live for the rest of my life, so I opened this here." ”

Xu Jiashan's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she said enviously, "It's so romantic, your girlfriend must be very happy." ”

"By the way, why are you alone, your girlfriend, after being here for so long?" Summer asked, looking around.

She ...... Hehe......" The owner of the farmhouse smiled bitterly and drank all the wine in his glass.

"What's wrong with her? It can't be like in a TV series, right? Xu Jiashan asked curiously.

"What are you playing?" Summer asked incomprehensibly.

"In this case, the heroine will usually ......," Xu Jiashan said as she wiped her neck and stuck out her tongue.

"If only that were the case...... said the owner of the farmhouse as he put down his glass and turned to leave.

After the boss left, Xu Jiashan and Xia also returned to their respective rooms.

Because I've slept all afternoon, I can't sleep in bed in the summer. Tossing and turning, he turned on the TV, and in order not to disturb his colleague in the next bed, he turned down the sound very low.

I don't know how long it has been, and I can't tell if summer is a dream or a real thing. In a daze, he realizes that what was supposed to be a half-baked comedy movie on TV has turned into a horror movie after a flickering snowflake.

In the film, the female ghost is wearing a white dress and fluttering back and forth in the room, her long hair is fluttering, but there is not a face visible under the long hair. There was a ladder in the room, and a man was talking about the ladder to climb up the attic, and the female ghost was already waiting for him in the attic. The female ghost was talking, but her voice was too small and indistinct.

There was a strange sound in the corridor outside the house, and when I woke up in the summer, it was still the comedy I was playing on TV, and it turned out to be just a dream?
