Eight Years of Fog Lock

Introduction to the novel The gray fog that comes every twelve years locks the wilderness village, killing Chen Jie's father due to illness, and then entangles his mother who huddles up with a cough. Before his death, his father gave him a rusty sword with eight holes in it, saying that the sword was capable of "carrying out troubles" - Chen Jie didn't understand until a warm shadow emerged from the fog, and he crawled into the house holding Li Laizi's sickle. When he swung his sword to split the fog, he felt that the blade had lost some of its rust, and the deep heat on the back of his neck was the words that his father had not finished. He walked to Zhen Town carrying two pieces of wild vegetable cakes. He passed the mass grave and met Zhang Butcher who was entangled in the fog and poked himself into the coals. He picked up the red cloth bag left by Erya. My mother said that there was an old medicine shop in Zhen Town that could treat foggy diseases, and there was a blacksmith named Zhou who knew how to use a sword. But Chen Jie tightened his grip on the scabbard and understood: this journey was not just about finding the antidote, but about taking on the unfinished fate hidden in the fog.
