Boning Knife

In the summer of 2000, Luannan County was sultry and windless. Chen Mingyue, the daughter of an ordinary pig butcher, found that her father was always fascinated by an old knife late at night. Transfer student Meng Xiao comes to Luannan No. 2 Middle School with a secret. The two are forced to form an alliance due to a series of strange incidents in the county. Under the guidance of the crazy actor Su Zhezhi, the two break free from the cobwebs of acquaintance society in the county. The clues point to a deeper fog - a behemoth "Old Kiln Society" rooted in the folds of the industrial history of North China for hundreds of years. In the next two years, from the wild forests of Yanshan Mountain to the deserted port of Bohai Sea, from the earthquake ruined city to the palace of the powerful, their footprints spanned the north and south. In a land full of the marks of the times, they met their companions in life and death through betrayal and watchfulness. In the darkness that was on the verge of collapse again and again, they approached the core of the underground empire entrenched in the abyss of history and human nature, and completed their own tempering and choices.
