Song Wenjiang was sold into a mountain village by a trafficker for 32,000 yuan. When he escaped, he strayed into a Yi village deep in the stone forest of Yunnan.
He met a long-haired young man in the stone forest - Chu Yu, the Bimo (priest) in the village. He looked a few years younger than him, with bright eyes and thin calluses left by years of twisting the sparks on his fingers.
Chu Yu took him back, gave him a place to sleep, and gave him food. He didn't talk much, and he answered whatever he asked. Without asking, he sat quietly across from the fire pit and looked at him with those eyes.
Song Wenjiang thought he was staying temporarily. Once his feet are healed, he will go east, to the highway, to the county seat, to a place where no one knows him.
But he slowly discovered——
When people in the village see him, they will say "Ni Zi Bo".
The way Chu Yu looked at him was different day by day.
And he himself seemed increasingly unable to get out of this stone forest.
Later he learned that "Nizibo" is Yi language.
Meaning: One who remains.
Purpose: interest
