Many years ago--

In the western suburb village, located in the depths of the big mountains, it was bustling and populous.

However, the village held deep-rooted beliefs in favoring boys over girls, with every family hoping for a son to carry on the family name.

As the head of the village, the village chief also hoped for a son to inherit his position.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.

The village chief's first child was a daughter, the second child was a daughter, and the third child was also a daughter.

When the village chief's wife gave birth to their third daughter, she suffered from severe bleeding during childbirth.

They struggled to save her for a day and night.

Despite narrowly escaping death, the village chief's wife could no longer bear children.

The villagers began mocking the village chief behind his back.

They ridiculed him for being an incapable man, predicting that the family line would be broken, and the position of the village chief would go to someone else.

Listening to the ridicule, the village chief's mindset gradually changed.

His desire for a son turned into a craving for immortality.

If he never died, he could always remain the village chief.

To achieve immortality, the village chief consulted the village's fortune tellers and searched for miraculous methods, even resorting to unconventional means.

Later, he heard of a mysterious village in the western suburbs.

In just half a month, the entire village died, with each death being eerie and bizarre, likely due to a curse.

With a heart full of awe, the village chief crossed mountains and valleys to reach the cursed village.

He took three steps and knelt down.

Walked five steps and bowed.

He repeatedly expressed his desires.

From daytime offerings to late at night.

The night was dark and the wind was high.

A cold wind blew.

When the village chief was feeling dejected and about to leave, a little girl appeared before him.

"Do you want to be immortal?" the girl asked.

The village chief looked up, staring into her dark eyes, and nodded vigorously.

"To be immortal, there is a price to pay," the girl added.

The village chief, with a dry throat, solemnly promised, "I am willing to pay any price."

The girl gazed into the distance, looking at a grotesque creature in the woods.

"My mother likes eating rabbits. Unfortunately, all the rabbits in the mountains have been eaten, so we need more rabbits for sacrifice. Are you willing to offer the villagers as sacrifices?"

The village chief readily agreed, "Yes."

The girl followed the village chief back to the western suburb mountain village.

She stayed in the village chief's house.

Externally, it was announced that she was an orphan found outside, named Xiaoming, without parents, wandering for many days, pitiful indeed.

Since then, strange incidents began to occur in the village.

People went missing.

People died unexpectedly.

No one suspected a powerless little girl.

People thought the village had bad feng shui, and those who were capable left.

Years passed, with deaths and escapes in the village.

The girl indeed fulfilled her promise.

The village chief remained strong and maintained the appearance of a middle-aged man.

Looking at the village chief's wife, her face covered in countless wrinkles, her limbs shriveled, and her complexion sallow.

The village chief remained the same as before.

The village chief's wife aged into an old woman.

As the people on the mountain became fewer, the little girl began to exert pressure.

She told the village chief that if there were not enough rabbits, her mother would have to take back the secret of immortality.

The village chief was terrified.

He feared aging.

And feared death even more.

He reluctantly sacrificed his three daughters.

As the daughters went missing one after another, the old woman finally uncovered her husband's secret.

The old woman vowed to avenge her daughters.

One quiet night, she seized the opportunity while the village chief slept and chopped off his head with an axe.

However, the village chief's body quickly returned to its original state.

Unwilling to accept this, the old woman tried various methods to kill the village chief.

Once, she failed, and the village chief discovered the old woman's scheme.

He used the sharp tip of a sickle to blind the old woman's eyes.

As the old woman neared death, the girl appeared.

The village chief pleaded with Xiaoming to kill the old woman.

She decisively refused.

"Since I came to your house, my foster mother has been very kind to me. I can't bear to see her die. So, I asked my mother to grant my foster mother the power of immortality."

"Now that my foster mother has lost her sight, she has also been punished. Instead of worrying about catching rabbits, if my mother gets hungry, the consequences will be severe."

The village chief dared not disobey the girl's will.

He had to let the old woman repeatedly sabotage his plans.

Fearing the bizarre creature and desiring immortality, the village chief began to deceive outsiders to come to the mountain village.

Under the guise of tourism, exploration, winning prizes, teaching, job hunting, matchmaking, and excavating treasures...

All the people lured for various reasons, without exception, disappeared in the western suburb mountains.
