"Bang!" The door of the office was smashed open. Chang He was gasping for breath. Under the incandescent light, his face was as white as snow and his eyes had collapsed. There was still dust on his face, and he must have been in a very sorry state to have fallen over.

I knocked on the corner of the table and jokingly said, "Comrade Li Changhe, although our duties are more urgent, you don't have to run all the way here. It can't be that someone is chasing you, right?"

Secretary Xiao Wang also laughed. "Changhe must have been dragged out of bed before he knew what was going on. Heh heh, it can't be that sister-in-law is chasing him with a feather duster, right?"

I am the head of Xiufeng Township in X County, Xiufeng Township has no secretary, so I also served as a secretary. Xiufeng Village under the jurisdiction of six villages, there are mountains, water, a quiet environment, Xiufeng Village under the care and leadership of the higher leaders, foreign investment, vigorously development of tourism, the prospects for a great. I felt even more elated. I wanted to develop the village of Qingquan, which had already been reported to the village for a sum of money. Tomorrow, the city's leaders will sneak into our village to investigate, site guidance office. If all goes well, the higher payment, our village to develop a tourist attraction, the economy will have a new leap. In order to meet the leadership and secure funding from our superiors, we have worked out a plan after discussions during the day.

Li Changhe's house was a little far away, and he needed to pass through a village. Unlike us, who dealt with everything in the cafeteria, he spent most of his time sleeping in the dormitory. Originally, the village office had a family dormitory, but because his wife was teaching at the South China Village Elementary School, he returned home after work every day. We used to laugh at him for being tied up by his sister-in-law the moment he got married, and then he would come home late, a typical model husband.

To the leader of the inspection, we are quite serious, if the leader of the inspection all satisfied, the allocation of the matter is certain. In the evening, I stayed to work overtime, typing details with Little Wang. There was one place I needed to make some changes. I called the head of the township office, Chang He, who was in charge of the entire trip arrangements.

Chang He didn't pay attention to our jokes. He threw himself in front of the table and grabbed onto my arm, shaking it as if he was about to fall. He incoherently said, "Village Chief, Old Su …" I... South... You... "What the hell …"

I jokingly scolded, "What did I see? What happened to you, brat?" Even though he said that, he was still puzzled in his heart. Changhe had always been a calm person, someone who could keep a cool head even when the sky was falling down. Furthermore, he had never done such a thing. Looking at the sleeve he grabbed and at the expression in his eyes, I looked suspiciously at Little Wang.

Wang handed me a cup of water, patted Chang He's shoulder, and placed the water in his left hand. Chang He gulped a few mouthfuls before calming down. Then, he slowly loosened his grip on my sleeve, sat down on a chair, and lowered his head in a daze.

"Chang He, what happened to you?"

Li Changhe looked up at me with bloodshot eyes. His expression was still that of extreme fear. "I saw a ghost!"

I used my gaze to stop him. I know that if I don't get rid of the knot in Long River's heart at this moment, there would be no way to discuss tomorrow's leadership inspection tonight. I said, "What did you see? Are you sure you didn't see wrongly? "

Li Changhe suddenly stood up, angrily looked at me and loudly said, "You think I'm joking? "I …" His voice suddenly turned low. "I'm not a person who talks nonsense!"

I understood his agitation, but I didn't care. I went around the table and sat down, taking a slow sip of my tea. "Then tell me where you saw it, what it looks like!"

"When I received your call, I knew it was about the city leader coming to visit tomorrow, so I left my house. My motorcycle was taken by my brother, so I had no choice but to get on it. "You know that I've come so far from here, so I decided to take the shortcut and left from Yuan Wang Village …"

"Ah …" From home to the village, they had to pass through two villages. At the far end of the village, there was a barren slope. There were no houses in sight, only a few small trees scattered about. This desolate stretch of road was nearly two miles long, and now it was autumn. The night wind blew on the grass, causing it to make a "hualala" sound. Normally when there was nothing to do, it was autumn. Because of the July Ghost Festival legend, all sorts of strange and bizarre rumors would come about, and the villagers would spread them around like a miracle. We're national cadres, and although we don't believe in ghosts, we rarely go there. Chang He took the short cut, passing through the far village entrance would take him half an hour to reach the village backyard.

Chang He didn't pay attention to Xiao Wang's exclamation and continued, "When we were passing by, the car's chain broke and I had to get out of the car, but that chain couldn't fit on. I thought we should push it a bit. Before he could take more than ten steps, he felt a cold shiver behind his back. He raised his head and saw a human figure in front of him. It was headless. If it wasn't for the fact that I didn't see its head, I wouldn't have known it was a ghost … "

I thought of the bright incandescent lights, the wide office, and Little Wang and I, and slowly calmed him down.

Even though I was doubtful, I wasn't a person of great importance. I patted Chang He on the shoulder to comfort him before we started to discuss the details of our previous discussion with Little Wang. Was the river really a long one? Even though he was frightened, he still quickly entered into the situation. Terror has been busy for nearly two hours, scrutinizing every detail and making sure that there are no more omissions. I let out a long sigh, looked at my watch, and saw that it was only eleven o'clock, so I said to Chang He and Xiao Wang, "Let's go and eat supper. "I'll treat you!"

There was a restaurant in front of the village building. Usually, the lights in the village office would never go out, and the restaurant was usually used for food and drinks. The owner of the restaurant called out to them. He was in his forties, and besides a thick layer of grease on his face, he was all smiles of flattery and flattery.

Although this smile was a little vulgar, it was quite pleasing to the eyes. Furthermore, there was a person who was more pleasing to the eye: the daughter he was looking for was called Zi Yue. It was as dazzling as the moon! Zi Yue went for a walk. Who knew how many times her beautiful dress would be stained with admiration, vulgarity, admiration, or jealousy. I come here every day to eat a meal, mostly for the sake of my fair beauty.

Entering the restaurant, he looked around and immediately welcomed Su Hao: "Heh, Secretary Su, you haven't rested yet?!" Then he would greet Chang He and Xiao Wang. This person was a businessman after all. He was always like this, allowing everyone to feel his passion.

After settling down, I looked around and didn't see Zi Yue. I think she must have gone to sleep.

After the dishes were served, I filled a cup and said to Chang He, "This cup of wine can be considered to be a surprise for you!"

Long River and I clinked glasses and drank it all in one gulp. Little Wang and I looked at each other. We all knew that Chang He rarely drank alcohol. Usually, when he was at a meal, he would give us a lot of toasts. If he couldn't do so, we would only drink a small mouthful. Today, the Long River was truly abnormal!

After drinking the wine, Chang He's face reddened a little and his mood gradually rose. He actually started to drink with us.

After a while, although he wasn't too drunk, he still felt a little dizzy. I can be considered to have the best alcohol capacity. In university, drinking with a classmate can make a person drink a huge amount of three catties of liquor without getting drunk. At this moment, most of my thoughts weren't on the wine. If I were to say that I had intended for tomorrow's inspection to be impeccable, then now, all I was thinking about was Zi Yue, who was as beautiful as a dream. Normally, no matter how late it was, Zi Yue would help him take care of the business. But today, for what reason, she had never shown up?

I looked at Xiao Wang, who was pouring wine into a cup on the river. The two of them were drinking and getting hotter and hotter, so there was no difference between the upper and lower class. Little Wang's eyes were already red from drinking too much, but she wasn't drunk at all. This brat's alcohol tolerance was originally no lower than mine, so it seemed that Changhe had drunk a lot today.

Little Wang smiled and joked, "Zhanghe, do you still want to go back and accompany sister-in-law tonight? Hur Hur!"

A trace of fear flashed in his eyes. He shook his head and said with his tongue hanging out, "You unkind brat. I-I won't go back today. I'll go back to the light again, tomorrow …"

Little Wang said, "Director Li was scared by a shadow. Hur Hur. I thought you were brave. It seems that once a man gets married, he will become as brave as a mouse!"

The hammer on the table let out a "bang". "You little rascal, you are very brave. Do you dare … Do you dare to walk that path?"

"Why would I not dare? Not to mention a shadow, even if I met a headless one, it would not be enough to scare me, Wang Guan, away!" I thought Little Wang was not drunk, but now he seems to be. They actually started to brag to Chang He with a reddened face and thick neck.

"Heh — —" Hearing this soft laughter, I was very familiar with it. Besides Zi Yue, who could have such a soft and beautiful voice? Besides, during the quiet hours of the night, other than Zi Yue, there wouldn't be any other girls here. Sure enough, Zi Yue's beautiful figure appeared in front of us, holding a bottle of wine in each hand.

After finishing high school, Zi Yue didn't get into university, nor did she find a job. She kept looking around for shops to help with, using her own words to say that she was the manager. She placed the wine on our table and said with a smile, "Leaders, we'll have to enjoy ourselves here today!"

She laughed a little at Long River and Wang, but neither of them paid much attention to her, and continued to argue with a red face. Little Wang stood up with a "whoosh" and said loudly, "Go on, ah, I'm not like you, a big man, who's scared like that." He had graduated from Little Wang University and was from the Chinese department. He did not believe in ghosts or gods, but now that he was being pushed around by Chang He, he wanted to prove that he was not a coward. Chang He stuck out his tongue and said, "Go, I won't go. You're a grandson!

The two shakily stood up and were about to head to the distant village entrance.

Zi Yue stopped them, "Sigh, brothers. It's already late at night. Where are we going?"

Xiao Wang reached out and gently pushed Zi Yue away. Although he was drunk, he still had a sense of propriety, and I think that the reason he was so anxious to prove his bravery was partly because of the alcohol, and partly because Zi Yue was by his side. He didn't want Zi Yue to think that he didn't have the guts. For a youth who had never been married before, which one of them didn't have presumptuous thoughts about Zi Yue? Besides, it's not against the law.

The two of them pushed their way to the door, and I shouted at them, "Chang He, Xiao Wang, what are you doing? I still have serious matters to attend to tomorrow! "

The two froze for a moment, then withered their heads like flowers under the blazing sun. They stood there, not knowing whether they should return or leave.

Zi Yue looked at me with a smile in her eyes. I smiled to her before I stood up and said, "Alright, it's too late now. Let's head back to bed. Don't go back to Chang He tonight. It's too far.

Zi Yue didn't say anything as she escorted us to the door. I was the last to walk. I turned my head and saw Zi Yue smiling at me!
