White Bamboo Miracle

Novel title: "The Miracle of White Bamboo" One-sentence summary: Shanmei, a Yi girl who was slandered as a "disaster star", stepped into the misty Baizhu Mountain to prove her innocence, and unexpectedly uncovered a mining conspiracy disguised as "supernatural" and a family murder thirty years ago. In the end, she transformed from an ugly daughter-in-law who was bullied into the backbone of the mountain village guarding the green waters and green mountains. Volume 1: Birthmark·Mist (Chapter 1-15) - Stigma and Mutation Core: The dilemma of establishing Shanmei and the strange beginning of Baizhu Mountain. 1. The wedding dress is stained with blood: On the wedding day of the mountain girl, the birthmark on her cheek was discussed as a "ghost face" under the firelight, and her mother-in-law Xihua broke the tea bowl in public. 2. Bamboo weaving is silent: Late at night, Shan Mei was weaving a bamboo basket by the moonlight in the woodshed. The old wound on her fingertips split open and blood seeped into the bamboo strips. Jiuwu's dull cough came from next door. 3. The first strange thing: The herb garden of the Li family in the east of the village died overnight, and the leaves were dark and curled, shaped like ghost hands. Rumors point to "the bride entering the house, the earth's atmosphere will be polluted". 4. White mist in the well: In the early morning, thick milky white mist emerged from the old well at the entrance of the village. Its tentacles were cold and biting, and it remained for three days. Xi Hua ordered Shan Mei to fetch water, but the bucket rope broke for no reason. 5. Night Crying Man: In the middle of the night, the sobs of children that seemed to be absent were carried by the wind throughout the valley, and every house closed its doors. Based on herb collectors' familiarity with mountain sounds, Shanmei figured out that the sound seemed to come from the direction of the old forest. 6. Confrontation at the ancestral hall: Villagers gathered and demanded to "drive away evil spirits". Uncle Yan, an old hunter, smoked a dry cigarette in silence, while his best friend Ami held Shan Mei's hand tightly. Jiuwu stood in front of her for the first time and said in a dry voice: "There is no evidence." 7. Going into the mountains to find the cause: Mountain girl carrying an old bamboo basket into the mountains
