Rong Jiao Yao

A thousand-year-old ancient village in the mountains of Yunnan has a heart-wrenching rule - the night the patriarch dreams of a red sedan chair and a white-haired girl, disaster is bound to come. The white-haired dolls died en masse and were said to be "the seeds of the girl in the sedan"; the "petals" scattered by the red sedan turned the whole village into holes with pus; the bones of the missing caravans floated in the red waves of the Qingshui River; the hundreds of clothes hanging on the banyan tree always oozed dark red water on full moon nights... These evil things that have plagued the village for hundreds of years began to show cracks when college student Qi Ying returned to her hometown. The silver bracelet under the incense burner in the ancestral hall, the red cloth in the foundation of the mountain temple, the boy's diary in the sinkhole, the peach blossom seal on the caravan's account book... What is pieced together is not a ghost legend, but a name that was deliberately buried - "Yao". She is an albino woman who was tied to a banyan tree by villagers a hundred years ago, the unmarried bride of the leader of the caravan, and the most painful thorn in the legend of the red sedan chair. Science can explain that white hair is a disease, red waves are mines, and disasters are natural, but it cannot explain: Why does her silver bracelet always get hot on rainy nights? Why is there always her shadow in the patriarch's dreams? Why is that old banyan tree that swallowed a human still protecting this village? When the last piece of peach blossom satin is put together, the truth is more poignant than the legend - the so-called "divine punishment" is nothing but the evil and good of the human heart, playing out a too long drama under the shadow of the thousand-year-old banyan tree. The secret of the red sedan chair and the white-haired girl will eventually grow into a new growth ring in awe and reconciliation.
