My name is Xiao Shi. When I was seven years old, my grandfather cured my eye disease with earth medicine.
Since then, I've been able to see things with my right eye that I shouldn't.
There is a headless clay kid standing in the vegetable field, a face is pasted in the old well in the east of the village, and someone calls my name in the voice of my mother at night...
Grandpa taught me three rules: don't say anything when you see something, don't stare at it, and don't respond when your name is called.
I didn't understand what these rules meant until Niwazi walked into my yard step by step.
