Ten years ago, Chen Yu witnessed his stepfather being dragged underground by the roots of an old locust tree at the entrance of the village. The whole village said that it was a "tree eating people". Ten years later, as a clerk in the Urban Construction Bureau, he received an anonymous report letter - "Everyone with a cursory prefix is going to die soon." Chen Weigang died in a construction site accident and was stabbed through the chest by a bamboo scaffolding; all the people in the village with names prefixed with cursive had their radicals cut off with red paint.
When Chen Yu returned to his hometown in the rain, he found that the three characters "Cao Zhanjian" on the stone tablet at the entrance of the village were bleeding. On the villagers' nameplates, "Wei" changed to "Wei" and "He" changed to "He", as if someone was systematically erasing the traces of "grass". The old village chief revealed the secret: There is something buried underground, which feeds on people whose names start with grass. "Zhan" is a blood sacrifice, and "building" is the foundation. Every twenty years, there is no one left alive.
When Chen Yu dug up the soil under the stone tablet, he saw a row of blue bricks engraved with the names of the people with the character "Jian" - his stepfather's name was prominently listed. The mother stood behind her holding a sickle, smiling and saying, "It's your turn."
What's even more horrifying is that a green grass bud is emerging from his palm, spreading towards the depths of his blood.
