When Si Yeheng was thirty years old, he was dragged back to his hometown in Hebei by a phone call.
He thought he was just facing a declining village and aging parents, but he didn't know that he was stepping into an endgame that had lasted for thousands of years. The surname Si is not a farmer, but a Shou. For generations, fields and ridges have been used as formations and crops as medicine to regulate the "earth veins" of the Central Plains.
Now, the pulse is "sick". A strange thing called "Eclipse" with a sweet smell of rust is awakening from the depths of Zutian. The soil is dark red, breeding monsters, and black shadows peek silently in the fog. The method passed down by his grandfather is on the verge of losing its effectiveness, and the village is shrouded in the dark cloud of "extinct family".
Si Yeheng, a spiritually weak grandson who has spent ten years in the city, is forced to accept a hot bone fragment, a rotten book recording taboos, an "evil-proof plow" with a mysterious purpose, and a ridiculous mission - to use his modern knowledge to understand and heal this "sick" land.
When the flames of temptation caused a sharp roar in the ground, and when the ancestral plowshares drew the line that contained the strange fire, he understood that he had no way to retreat.
Before the red mist completely floods the village, he must learn to act like a real "farmer" -
Read the symptoms of the earth's diseases and find the source of rust.
In a silent place, keep your pulse and save lives.
