On the seventh day after the death of the person crossing the lantern, an unclaimed paper lantern floated on the river crossing Huaixi River - every time one of the lanterns was extinguished, a person died.
Gu Nanzhu, the director of the folk documentary, returned to his hometown for a funeral and saw a lamp with his name written on his grandfather's funeral hall. No one in the town dared to touch it, but she took the lamp home. Grandpa left her a message: "Don't put the lamp away, you can't put it back."
The lights are still out. The old boatman died suddenly, and there was a light on the river that only she could see. Following the lamp spectrum left by her grandfather, she discovered that every ten years, a name with a "non-Gu" name was crossed into the river - A Yuan, the old accountant, and more. Some people are killing people according to the lantern spectrum, and some people are eating people through ghosts and gods.
Burn that lamp, or leave it on?
When Gu Nanzhu uncovered the river god's contract a hundred years ago, she finally understood: legends can eat people, but it is never the legends who eat people, but the people who borrow the name of the legends.
——Perhaps, grandpa has been waiting for this moment with his life.
