Old Shadows in the Alley
by Love Garden
About This Novel
Huaian Lane in the old city is a forgotten corner of the city. The bluestone road is covered with moss, the old tube buildings are crowded together, and the old locust tree at the end of the alley tilts its neck, as if staring at everything in the alley. Here, the sound of no one's footsteps will be heard in the corridor late at night, the locked door will open on its own, and water-stained black hair will appear out of thin air on the window sill. Jiang Xun, a freelance writer who just moved here, wanted to find a quiet place to write, but he was inadvertently involved in the series of strange incidents in Huaian Lane. The little girl in red crying in the middle of the night, the strange woman flashing in the mirror, the missing neighbor, the bloody symbols carved on the wall, all the abnormalities point to the dusty old case in the alley. Relying on a trace of obsession, Jiang Xun explored in fear and fog. He found that every household in Huaian Lane hid unknown secrets, and those wandering ghosts were just obsessions that had not been appeased. The truth was buried in the dry well at the bottom of the alley, waiting for someone to lift the shackles and clear up the injustice.
