After his father disappeared, Lin Shu received a letter from his hometown and was forced to return to the mountain village where he had not returned for many years.
This place is completely different from what I remember.
The whole village rings the bell at dusk and closes the doors at sunset;
White paper lanterns are hung at the door of each house, and three lanterns are not allowed in the house;
I can't look in the mirror at night, I can't respond to the soul calling outside the window, I can't count the footsteps in the yard.
The most common thing the villagers said to him was——
"After dark, no matter who knocks on the door, don't open it."
On the first night, Lin Shu heard a woman's gentle and hoarse voice coming from outside the door.
He would never forget that sound.
It was his mother who had been dead for ten years.
On the second night, a series of wet footprints appeared outside the door, stopping from the courtyard door to his bed.
On the third night, his name actually appeared on the ancestral tablet in the ancestral hall.
And every seven days, there will be one less person in the village.
In order to survive, and to find out the truth behind his father's disappearance and mother's death, Lin Shu could only abide by increasingly bizarre village rules while digging up secrets that had been buried in this mountain village for decades.
But when the truth gradually emerged, he discovered——
The scariest thing in this village at night may not be outside the door.
Or maybe, he has always been among the villagers.

Good-looking, good-looking, good-looking

The setting is novel and quite good
I persisted until I read a hundred chapters. It was very exciting. It has a strong sense of folk customs and taboos. The author's writing style is very good. It is a good book.
