This is a very remote mountain village. Very poor and foolish.
This year is dry and dry, it is a rare year of great famine. All children have the same kind of disease, fever and cramps. The adults were frightened and anxious, so they invited four uncles in the village who knew witchcraft to do so. Every household burns incense to chant Buddha and prays.
With one exception, Cher has just turned one year old and is a cute little baby girl. Big watery eyes, tender red face in white. Every time the work is completed, both men, women and children on the team must scramble to come and have some intimacy. They all say that they will definitely be a beauty embryo in the future.
Ke’er’s mother was a decent educated youth, but he was a high-school student who graduated from a technical school in Changchun. Besides, his father studied medicine, and he didn’t believe this evil. She squeezed the tea into her little palm that was about to be clenched, so that her daughter would not suffocate due to convulsions caused by high fever. Instructed the child his father to rush to the village to seek medical treatment overnight.
Fortunately, his husband let go of patriarchalism at this critical time. He knew his wife said absolutely, and he shouldn’t think about running barefoot. Maybe he hurts the little girl better than anyone else, maybe the child is holding the hearts of countless people. The mother-in-law has always prioritized the son, and as long as the daughter-in-law gave birth to a baby girl, she dismissed it, but she only liked the little granddaughter. Uncles, second uncles, and others took a large group of people to lay incense sandalwood outside the door, and fourth uncles danced with wooden swords in their hands.
Xue’er her mother forbids him to enter the house to exorcise and anger the uncle. He growled louder and louder: “Don’t let me in again, be careful when the child can’t have a child!” “It’s dawning, and Xueer is going to be taken away!” Ghost crying wolf, babble. The mother-in-law was in a hurry, and the uncle glared at each other. The crowd watched the delay and rushed to pull his mother.
With a long hair, his father rushed to Yelu with the same barefoot quack, and everyone suspiciously made a gap. The mother smiled and gave up seats again and again. The father did not care about tiredness. He rushed in and out, and the house was full of people outside.
The fourth uncle shouted angrily: “I can’t save it! It’s too late!”

Xueer Niang is only right The doctor said: “If the child dies, you and I can’t get out of this house!”
Later, Cher was the only survivor of all the children of that year’s disaster. Infant influenza killed six babies that year.

When Cher arrived in this town, she was five years old. She is quiet, timid and does not like talking. Adults get together to chat, she always listens quietly with her big eyes open.
The grandmother said that the newly built town was a barren land before. The Kuomintang once killed many “bandits” here. It was a ghost slope. At that time, the bulldozer did not know how many skeletons were pulled out from the ground during construction.
