In the deep mountains of the south, the fog persists all year round.
I grew up in the village, and I only knew that my grandfather was a man of old-fashioned rules.

Reflection in red clothes, combing hair in the middle of the night, strange noises in the ancestral hall, corpses floating on the river...

Finally, I have to find a living person to settle the matter.
