Forbidden Place

Tang Li heard the old story told by his grandfather when he was very young. There was a wooden door in the backyard, a door that could only let the souls of animals pass through, and he was the "gatekeeper". Tang Li loved hearing these stories when he was a child, but there was always a day when he got tired of hearing them. When one day, the storyteller stopped telling old stories, the stories solidified in Tang Li's mind like ice. After his grandfather passed away, he left behind many cats, but they all left Tang Li one by one. Later, Tang Li's parents divorced after taking the high school entrance examination, and his mother arranged for his aunt to take care of him. Unexpectedly, one day, everything was reversed after Tang Li picked up a cat. A wooden door appeared out of thin air in the backyard every night. From then on, Grandpa's figure would always appear in Tang Li's sleep. Behind Grandpa was the wooden door in the backyard. Grandpa smiled and handed Tang Li a shabby key...
