Lin Xiaoman’s IQ was frozen at 10 due to a childhood high fever, earning him the nickname “Silly Xiaoman” in Taohua Village. Even his grandma, on her deathbed, kept saying, “Don’t trouble others.” But no one knew he could understand the “whispers” of the old locust tree in the back mountain. When the tree shook violently to warn of a landslide, the whole village thought he was “acting silly.” It wasn’t until the old ox at the village entrance suddenly ran after him, and the wall of the village primary school split open, that Xiaoman, holding the copper bell his grandma left him, knelt crying at the evacuation路口: “I’m not lying! The mountain is going to collapse!” When the mudslide swept away the empty village, everyone stared at the mud-covered Xiaoman in shock—suddenly realizing the “savior” was just someone who’d risk everything to hold onto the “foolish” warmth of protecting others.
