Lao Du Tells Folk Tales

My name is Lao Du, I am a storyteller and I have been wandering in the countryside for most of my life. Everywhere I went, I would sit under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village at night. As soon as the tea jar was placed, people would gather around me. Let me remind you: most of these stories happen at night. The waterside in mid-July, the moonless ferry, the night of heavy rain, the kind of night when you are walking alone at night and hear footsteps behind you, but when you look back there is nothing. If you are timid, watch it during the day. There are no big characters in the story. Most of them are farmers, fishermen, tofu sellers, street vendors, and wandering doctors who treat people at the entrance of the village. They are just like you and me, living a normal life, but one day in a certain year, something unexplainable happened.
