The Locust Tree Village Enigma

In the 1980s, in Qinghuai Village. I am Jiang Ming, a carpenter hired to renovate an old house. Most of the villagers are left-behind women, and able-bodied men are very scarce. The villagers say the men either left to make a living elsewhere or died in accidents. But the old objects found in the cracks of the roof beam, the strange noises from the back mountain late at night, and the whole village's secretive demeanor all tell me that a deliberately buried past is hidden here. — Description from novelcodex.org
