The Fiend

I was born deep in the Yimeng Mountains. When I was a child, the people in my hometown loved gathering near their doorsteps after dinner, three or five families at a time, to tell endless stories. What I loved most was listening to the elders tell those stories. They weren't backed by historical records, but they felt more real and closer to everyday life. Here, in the form of stories, I would like to introduce readers to the folk tales of the Yimeng Mountains that I have heard.
