The Fortieth Jump

In Hanlu Town, which is shrouded in thick fog all year round, the ten-year-old orphan Ling Dang struggled to survive with her blind grandmother after her parents disappeared. By chance, she found a mysterious iron box in the cave of an old locust tree at the entrance of the village, which contained a piece of faded red cloth and the words "Mother... Don't be afraid... Count... Forty...", Which awakened her vague memory of the mysterious disappearance of her parents (especially her mother) in the Zhou family ancestral hall on a rainy night five years ago. From then on, the bell began to stubbornly skip the rope near the ancestral hall to count, and carved the word "" on the wooden handle, firmly believing that jumping forty times would solve the mystery of his parents. The villagers regard her as a disaster star, fearing that she will cause the innocent soul of the "Red Coat Lady" in the ancestral hall to seek her life (forty substitutes are needed). Regardless of the obstruction, Lingdang ventured into the ancestral hall on another rainy night and accidentally discovered the list hidden by her mother - evidence of the crime of embezzlement of food and money by thirty-nine people led by the village chief Zhou Fugui. She realized that she was a hidden witness when her mother discovered the crime and was brutally silenced. "Forty" refers to all the murderers. On the 40th lap of the dance in public, Lingdang set up a trap to expose the recording evidence, inducing Zhou Fugui to fall into the cave where his mother's bones were buried, and reveal the list. The evil was exposed and the villagers collapsed. After completing her revenge, Ling Dang threw the blood-stained skipping rope into the hole and left Hanlu Town alone in the fog and clear sky, heading towards an unknown distance.
