Among the things my mother left behind when she died was a bell made of human bone.

The village elders went pale when they saw it and told me to bury it in the graveyard at once.

But that night, Yun'er secretly retrieved it. “Your mother traded her life for this. We can't throw it away.”

She hung the bell by the window. That very night, someone in the village died.

The dead person clutched a scrap of paper: “The first.”

The same words appeared on the bell, written in blood.
