My name is Shen Du, and I am a story collector. These days, not many people are willing to listen to old people telling stories about ancient times, and I am specifically looking for these stories. Some people say that I have accumulated evil deeds, while others say that I am seeking death. But I know that behind every seemingly absurd story, there is an unknown truth.
At this stop, I arrived at Zishan Village in western Hunan. As soon as I entered the village, I saw an old woman burning paper money and muttering: "Xiulan, stop looking for that pair of shoes, they are not in the village..."
Seeing me approaching, the old woman raised her head in horror: "Young man, let's go! She's back, and she's back wearing those embroidered shoes!"
The "Xiulan" she refers to is a girl who disappeared in the village ten years ago. And that pair of red embroidered shoes brings out a creepy past...
