On this day, Yang Tiande, who lives in Gaoyan Village in Hunan Province, went to the mountain behind the village to cut firewood as usual.
However, just as he was about to go back, Yu Guang suddenly noticed that a red figure flashed in the woods not far away.
The figure was shaped like a human figure, dressed in red, with white hair on the top of his head, flashing in the corner of Yang Tiande's eyes,
It was a rainy day, and Yang Tiande was a little scared in his heart, so he rushed back to the village.
Since then, from time to time in the village, people in the village have seen flashes of red clothes on the mountain.
For a moment, an uneasy atmosphere filled the village.
Most of the people in this village are surnamed Yang, and the Yang surname in this village is said to have a lot of potential.
He is a descendant of the famous Yang family general of the Song Dynasty.
However, even after Zhonglie, the "red-clad ghost" on the back mountain still made the villagers feel a little uneasy.
Because the "female ghost" has white hair on her head, many people in the local area also call her white haired woman.
It's just different from the "white-haired girl" Xi'er who is familiar with the hatred of her home country.
This modern white-haired woman has some mysterious overtones.
Someone had the courage to follow this figure, wanting to find out,
Who knew that the white-haired woman seemed to know that someone was following behind her, and attacked with strange screams and stones, frightening the person to turn around and run.
However, although this white-haired girl is a little scary, the villagers will go to the back mountain almost every day.
I had never heard of anyone being hurt, and gradually people were no longer afraid, but instead made some changes to the rumors of the white-haired woman.
Some people say that the white-haired woman is a mountain god who lives in the mountains and watches over her dead husband.
It is also said that the white-haired woman wearing a red robe is the wedding dress she married,
She was only abandoned by the negative groom, so she waited on the mountain for Lang Jun to change her mind.
The rumors spread farther and farther, and the white-haired girl also had a new code name in the mouth of the villagers, "the world's first infatuated woman".
Some people even tell the story of the white-haired girl to the children, and use it to celebrate the love that is willing to wait.
Yang Tiande listened to these rumors, and some of his heart was not a taste,
Because he already knew the true identity of the white-haired woman, that is, his cousin who ran away from marriage more than thirty years ago.
He followed the white-haired girl to the place where the other person lived out of curiosity,
When he saw the appearance of the white-haired woman, Yang Tiande recognized it,
He wanted to take his cousin down the mountain, but the white-haired woman did not say a word, apparently refusing his help.
Since then, he has stopped thinking about it, but from time to time he will quietly send some rice noodles to the mountain.
As for why her cousin became a white-haired woman in other people's populations, Yang Tiande knew in his heart,
It was a past that I couldn't bear to look back on, and every time I thought about it, I felt a sense of powerlessness to fate.
In western Hunan Province, there are many villages in the mountains, and although it is isolated from the world, it is also developing with the footsteps of the outside world.
It's just the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, still rooted in the hearts of people in the 1950s.
At least in this secluded mountain village.
The people in the village rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to draft water,
But inadvertently appeared an elf who grew up in the mountains and forests, she was Yang Girl.
Miss Yang is an authentic Miao family girl, who is considered to be a well-off family in the village.
But what is more famous is the amazing beauty of Yang Girl, whose every move affects the heartstrings of the young boys in the village.
When it is really "idle like a delicate flower shining on the water, acting like a weak willow to support the wind", it has attracted countless men from the village to come and propose to him.
It is said that the reputation of The Unknown Fang is hengqian township, and the beauty of Yang Girl has even been heard of in several neighboring villages.
But the Yang family's parents feel that their girls' conditions are so excellent, and they do not lack those few dollars, of course, they have to be picky.
Find a family that can be worthy of her daughter, so all the families who come to propose to her are rejected by Mother Yang because she is still young.
It's just that love is coming, no one can stop it, and Miss Yang doesn't look up to those so-called young talents in her daily life.
But a young man from out of town came into her eyes.
The young man came from a distant province and wandered around on weekdays,
Walking the streets and alleys and making a living by craftsmanship, people like him in the past were called craftsmen.
The craftsman boy stayed for a few days when he passed through Gaoyan Village, and it was these few days that captured the heart of Yang Girl.
She didn't know what the boy had attracted to her, just the so-called love did not know what to do, and she had always been in love.
The two of you came and went for only a few days before falling in love and couldn't extricate themselves.
The Yang family's tutoring is quite strict, so Yang Girl takes advantage of the excuse of going out after dinner every day to have a short date with the craftsmen.
But in the end, it is young, do not know how to converge, this relationship was soon discovered by the Yang family's parents,
How could they agree that their daughter would marry so far away, as a vagrant craftsman.
Miss Yang expected that her parents would not agree, so she discussed with the boy that the two eloped on a dark and windy night in a month.
For the sake of love, she can be brave and fearless, but she has not thought that things are coming to an end but something has changed.
On the day of the agreement, the parents called Aunt Yang to the front and said something bitterly.
Inside and outside the words are the heart of the maintenance of the daughter, and Miss Yang can't bear it after listening to it.
The idea of eloping was shaken for a moment and then shelved, and she wanted to discuss it with the young man again and find a way to get the best of both worlds.
However, the next day, there was no longer the figure of the craftsman in the village.
It turned out that the craftsman boy waited for a long time in the agreed place that night, from full of heat to heart like a cold cave,
He thought that Miss Yang had repented and did not love, and when he was sad, he stepped on the moonlight without saying goodbye.
When her lover left, Miss Yang was depressed in her heart, washing her face with tears all day, and regretting her hesitation at that time.
But now that she wanted to elope again, the man who could hold her hand had disappeared.
Parents saw that their daughter was so sad, in order to untie her heart knot as soon as possible, they lowered the requirements for kissing,
He found a family affair for his daughter and thought of using the wedding joy to dilute his daughter's thoughts about her lover.
Maybe they never really knew their daughter, who was so strong.
Miss Yang knew that she couldn't like others anymore, and her whole heart was occupied by that person.
After learning that her parents were going to marry her to a stranger, Miss Yang suddenly plucked up courage that she had never had before.
Once she lost her love because of hesitation, this time, she had to be brave for love once.
The night before the new marriage, Miss Yang put on the red wedding dress,
Dressed himself up nicely, then grabbed his luggage and rolled out of the window and fled back to the mountain.
She ran in the dark, hiding from the villagers who came after her.
But she did not dare to run far, because to this day, she still hopes in her heart that her sweetheart will come back to her.
She was afraid that if she ran too far, her sweetheart would lose track of her.
Under her shelter, the Yang family naturally could not find her in this mountain, and she lived in a cave.
The conditions in the mountains can be imagined, there is no food and no water, and when they are thirsty, they dig a pit in the ground to receive rainwater to drink,
Hungry, he picked some cotton and sneaked from the side of the hill to the market to exchange some grain.
In addition, she spent more time standing on a raised stone, looking at the village from a distance.
She was looking at the figure that was almost impossible to appear again.
But as the saying goes, there are not only ferocious beasts in this mountain, but also evil people who are as cruel as beasts.
The beautiful girl in the red wedding dress cannot escape the clutches of the wicked,
In the cave, he was bullied over and over again by two passing wicked men, and finally the wicked men flew away,
And Miss Yang could only open her empty eyes and look at the torn pants and silently shed tears.
Even more ridiculous, it wasn't long before she found out she was pregnant.
The father of the child is two evil men whose names he cannot even name.
She gave birth to children, but both died prematurely.
We don't know why, but that doesn't matter either.
Miss Yang changed into blue pants, but her upper body was still wearing a red wedding dress.
She did not dare to go down the mountain to face her family, and she did not dare to face the sweetheart who never appeared.
But she still stood on the boulder looking at the village, a red dress as dazzling as when she first got married.
From spring to autumn, from a black hair to two sideburns,
When the red clothes faded, she still couldn't wait for the figure of her sweetheart.
More than thirty years have passed, and Miss Yang has become Sister Yang, and she has thought about going down the mountain, but she feels that there is no need.
Here is the real isolation, she has long been unable to keep up with the outside times,
When people pay with their phones, she still rummages through the market for a few cents of banknotes.
For the outside world, she went from anticipation to fear, and then to the present indifference,
Perhaps until now, she herself could not tell what was supporting her waiting.
Someone in the village told the reporter about the white-haired woman,
With the cooperation of Yang Tiande, the female reporter met the legendary "ghost".
Looking closely, it is completely different from what I imagined, although I am old, I don't have too many wrinkles on my face.
Only the full head of white hair showed the sadness of the past.
Miss Yang, oh no, it's Sister Yang, she refused the food provided by the reporter,
And has been keeping a distance from this group of people carrying photographic equipment, and constantly chanting words that everyone can't understand.
Under the unremitting efforts of female reporters, Sister Yang finally let down some guards.
Take everyone to visit the "home" where she has lived for decades.
Some broken tables, broken water tanks, a big pit, a cabinet without a door,
It was all her furniture, and the bowl for eating was a piece of curved fragment knocked down from the water tank.
The whole cave is ventilated on both sides, and it cannot cover the rain in summer and cannot block the wind in winter.
After hearing the story of Sister Yang, the female reporter was very sad in her heart.
I wanted to help Sister Yang return to modern society and start over, but everyone's kindness was rejected by Sister Yang.
The reporter found a psychologist who wanted to see if Sister Yang had the possibility of returning to society through psychological treatment.
After a conversation, the psychologist said that Sister Yang still has the possibility of returning to society.
But this requires the understanding and sympathy of the family and the help of society, which is simple to say, but it is very difficult to do.
Fortunately, with everyone's efforts, Sister Yang has the idea of wanting to contact society.
But as for when to implement it, she can't be too hasty, and she can only rely on herself to slowly accept and figure it out.
The program team also tried to help Sister Yang find the craftsman boy who left that year, but the result was also expected to find nothing.
Sister Yang does not seem to have any hope for this, decades ago, she hid in the mountains for love,
After so many years, this love may have long become an obsession.
Mountains and society, in fact, is only a step away, but for Sister Yang, it is not important what kind of choice,
Just as she chose to run away from marriage at the beginning, this ending may not be good now,
But as you can see from the look in her eyes, she doesn't regret her choice.
For the elderly, ten years and eight years is just a matter of sewing,
For young people, three years and five years can be a lifetime.
The white-haired woman has done her best for love, although it can not be good, but the persistence of decades of perseverance is still moving,
Perhaps, her story can have the happiest ending in this mountain, becoming a legend, a good story,
Buried bones why mulberry land, this place of peace is my hometown.
