Legend of the Wild Goat in Taihang Mountains

In the Republic era village of Qingxi, ominous rumors of a cursed wild goat haunt the mountains. Every intruder who enters dies mysteriously, leaving only hoofprints at the scene. Lin Yuan, a schoolteacher educated in modern methods, returns home to uncover the truth behind his father's disappearance. His investigation coincides with the missing children and the emergence of the 'Wild Goat Monster,' spreading panic throughout the village. As witnesses are brutally killed, Lin Yuan withstands villagers' doubts, deducing Old Priest Chen's deception. Chen's plot to monopolize the gold mine and eliminate witnesses through the monster's legend is exposed. Ultimately, Lin Yuan kills the villains, but in autumn 1937, new greedy intruders once again target the deep mountains.
