In Yinhuai Village, a closed mountain village surrounded by mountains, the old locust tree with claw-like branches at the entrance of the village is a taboo totem engraved in the bones and blood of the villagers; three miles outside the village, there is a T-shaped intersection of "Dead Man Ding", which connects the living world at one end, the tomb at the other, and another road that only carries the souls of the dead.
The fifteen "village rules" passed down from generation to generation seem to be ignorant superstitions, but in fact they are a bloody contract enshrining an unknown existence under the locust tree. Village doctor and night watchman **Wang Erzhu** was born with the ability to see the dark. Since he was a child, he had seen all the horrible things that happened in the village due to breaking the precepts: the groom bumped into the rotten bride under the locust tree, the corpse of a child who picked up embroidered shoes on the street had corpse feet on his legs, and the young man carrying a woman in white late at night caught a glimpse of the empty lower body in the mirror...
Every time the taboo is violated, a living human life is dragged into the fog of "dead people", or is entangled and swallowed by the roots of the old locust tree. Mrs. Li clings to the ultimate secret of the village rules, Village Chief Zhao keeps the bloody truth secret in order to protect the "stability" of the village, Zhang DaDa, an outsider, does not believe in evil and challenges the bottom line of taboos time and time again, and the ghost in the eyes of the lonely Queen Xiaohua is becoming more and more clear.
Wang Erzhu walked in the gap between the living and the dead, witnessed fifteen mysterious cases being staged one after another, and watched the villagers acquiesce in allowing outsiders and rebels to become sacrifices to the locust tree in order to protect themselves. When he followed the guidance of the dead soul and approached the hole of the old locust tree step by step, he discovered that the so-called "unknown existence" had been inseparably entangled with the darkest human nature of Yinhuai Village.
Reader comments
This is true Chinese horror! There are no fancy special effects, but taboos engraved in the bones - no passengers are allowed in the middle of the night, locust trees cannot be broken, and mirrors that are not in the correct position will cause death. Behind every rule are lessons learned from human life. The characters such as Wang Erzhu, Mrs. Li, and Zhang Daudao are vivid and down to earth, especially the part where the night watchman encounters ghosts, which directly makes him a god. The whole book has been completed.
Book the best mountain village horror story of the year! Each story is short and concise, and the horror points are so dense that your scalp will tingle. Picking up embroidered shoes and growing corpse feet, worshiping under a locust tree and bumping into a corpse bride, the scene is full of excitement. What's even more amazing is the hidden line. The village rules are not superstition but sacrifice. The villagers' indifference and selfishness are more frightening than the ghosts. I broke out in cold sweats after watching it!
