Wusuohuaixi Village

Chen Mo, a reporter from the provincial capital, received a funeral call from his hometown of Huaixi Village. The thousand-year-old locust tree at the entrance of the village withered before it got old, and the corpse of Zhao Laowen, a lazy man who died mysteriously, turned out to be rosy-cheeked in the cold and humid early autumn, showing no signs of decay. What's even more terrifying is that there are strange symbols drawn with cinnabar on his chest, and there is a crooked line of blood words beside him - "The little flower is back." Twenty years have passed since the name of the girl who was said to have drowned in the Dumb River was taboo in the village. Chen Mo wanted to go through the motions, but he broke through the lies that the villagers had concocted. The thick fog locked not only the mountain road, but also the murder case that was sunk into the deep well twenty years ago. When the paper man turned around in the middle of the night and the mute spoke, Chen Mo was shocked to realize: the most terrifying ghosts in the world were never the dead souls, but the living people who were willing to sacrifice themselves to the abyss in order to protect the secrets.
