North of Xiongshan County, around Chiyue County, near a village...
Snowflakes fly like knives, and people are like fish on a chopping board.
In the desolate world, a shadow walks like an ant crawling on an uncleared village path.
He walks through the dirt path in the middle of the farmland, his eyes roving like a hungry wolf, scanning the village houses near the farmland.
Suddenly, this figure sees smoke from cooking, tightens his tattered cotton clothes, and sniffs the air...
Yet all that fills his nostrils is the sour stench of something unwashed for a long time.
Along with it comes the rumbling of his stomach.
This figure walks toward the smoke, and when he gets close, he presses against the wall, listening to the sounds inside the house.
There seem to be men and women, several people.
But he can't listen any longer because he smells the aroma, seemingly of dumplings, with meat filling no less.
This figure suddenly remembers, today seems to be New Year's Eve.
