About This Novel
Nine stories on a small southern island are interconnected like intersecting narrow alleys. In the long past, the life trajectories of the islanders were intertwined with each other. Just like she never expected that the old house in disrepair would collapse on a rainy night and the old mango tree in the courtyard would be cut down, the young girl Ah He never thought that her mother would grow old and her grandma would pass away; the most powerful woman on the island, A Xia, changed a few times as the source of customers changed. Secondary business direction: seafood restaurants, cafes, beverage shops, and B&Bs. One person runs the business in a frightening manner, but in fact there is always a soft Axia hiding under the murderous appearance; the big clock in the market bell tower no longer chimes the time, but after many years the clock The sound rang again, and Jade Rabbit and Tian En had arrived in an adult world different from their parents' generation. They were finally no longer afraid of the legendary green-eyed ghost; Uncle You Cong and the old fairy Miao Xiang came to keep company and started a funeral business. The old man who was healed by others was burdened with unknown pain... With the hustle and bustle of the times, many things on the island have changed, but the wind from the south is still warm and humid, and the fog of mourning and the glimmer of tomorrow will come at the same time as always.
