My ancestors have always stayed in Dunhuang and have never left Dunhuang.

The elderly woman was an archaeologist of Dunhuang cultural relics when she was young. Now, retired at home, I know more about the history of Dunhuang, and when I see someone asking, I am in the middle of it, and I talk about it endlessly, Mo Feitian asked, Auntie, do you know if there is a situation of people who have not come back to other places? The older woman said, "I don't know." Zhang Ruyi asked, Auntie, have you read the family tree? The elderly woman said, I have seen it, Zhang Ruyi asked, aunt, in the family tree you remembered, is there a young man surnamed Zhang who went to other places, settled down in other places, and never came back, the old woman said, I don't remember, there are too many family tree people, I can't remember clearly. Mo Feitian asked, where are the ten old men who manage the family tree now? The elderly women said that they live in Zhangjiabao, they are all the older generation of Zhangjiade and respect, older than me, they are all long-lived old people, they contribute to the Zhang family tree, they value the family tree very much, will not let you see the family tree, Zhang Ruyi said, aunt, you ask us for mercy, let us see the family tree, okay? Mo Feitian said, Auntie, can you just help, we come all the way, it's not easy, the old woman said, then I'll ask, the old woman took out her mobile phone to call.

"Elder Zhang, they are from Shanghai, the journey is long, it is not easy, you can see if you can, consider it" Aunt Zhang said,

"Aunt Zhang, it's not that I don't want to, this is the rule," Zhang Lao replied,

"Elder Zhang, their ancestors are from Dunhuang, all surnamed Zhang, they are the descendants of the Zhang family, they went to other places to live in Mosheng, now, take the time to come back and worship their ancestors, can you make an exception?" Aunt Zhang said,

"Oh, it's a descendant of the Zhang family, I have no problem with this, but I don't count if I say it, I have to go through the other nine old people" Zhang Lao replied,

"Do you want to be a good person to the end, please be old, work hard, and discuss with the nine old people, okay?"

"For the sake of your face, as well as the filial piety of the two, I'll talk about it, I don't know if it's okay" Zhang Lao said,

In the afternoon, Aunt Zhang called to tell Mo Feitian and Zhang Ruyi that the old people had agreed that they could come to Zhangjiabao to see the family tree, the opportunity was rare, come quickly, don't miss it. Zhang Ruyi heard that he could read the family tree, jumped up happily, and immediately saw the family tree of his family, knew the situation of his family in the past dynasties, and hurriedly took the car to Zhangjiabao, Zhangjiabao is 20 kilometers away from Dunhuang, ten minutes, the car arrived, Mo Feitian and Zhang Ruyi got off, Aunt Zhang was already waiting at the door, saw Mo Feitian and Zhang Ruyi, got off, rushed forward, greeted them, and let them into a courtyard, the courtyard was already full of people, men, women, and old.
