Features: "Golden Leaf, don't jump, don't come over! Go back, go back!" Six Fingers screamed at the top of his lungs. He was already content and gratified to see Golden Leaf come to rescue him despite the danger. He could die with peace of mind. In the Xishuangbanna region of Yunnan, there is a place called Nanuo Mountain, where there is a minority ethnic group called the Aini people. This ethnic group has a harmful custom: newborn twins or children with an extra finger on their hands are all considered to be reincarnated as yama ghosts. In Aini mythology, yama ghosts are the most vicious and soul-eating demons. Therefore, when a twin is born or a child has six fingers, a shaman must be called to perform rituals to drive away the ghosts, and the twins or six-fingered infants must be killed by the fire god using charcoal ash. The story "Tiger Girl Golden Leaf" is set against the backdrop of the Aini people's strange custom and weaves together humans and animals to create a vivid and touching animal-themed novel.
