Chapter XXXII On Genealogy
Chapter XXXII deals with genealogy

Yun Ximing and I followed behind the old lady and Jia Xianqing, leaving the old lady's house, we didn't say anything all the way, we didn't know what to say, we were already a little vague in this matter, we couldn't tell what was right and what was wrong, I think maybe the old lady was right, everything was retribution.
Yun Xi and I watched the old lady and they were taken into the police car, and Uncle Lu hurriedly said goodbye to his old comrades-in-arms, and everyone's mood was somewhat heavy. Today's dinner is the instant noodles cooked by Xiao Jiang for us, without the village secretary, the villagers are also ignorant of us, I began to believe the old lady's words, this qiē is the conspiracy of the village secretary, now there is no profit driven, even cooking a meal for us, in the eyes of those villagers is extremely redundant.
We didn't do any work for three days, we were waiting for new instructions from our superiors, but I had already made up my mind in my heart, it didn't matter to 3721, I made up my mind about this tomb, it was just a question of legality. Finally, on the third day, things took a turn for the better, and I received two emails, both of which were printed in paper copies.
A top-secret document from the Ministry of Security, sent by Vice Minister Zhou, was personally sent by the unit's guards, and the new instructions from the higher authorities were given on it.
"Agree with Comrade Kui Yinyin, lead the expert advisory group, with the cooperation of the Shandong Provincial Archaeological Team, to continue to carry out further scientific research and exploration work on the scientific research project, please be sure to maintain a high degree of vigilance, pay attention to the personal safety of yourself and the surrounding people......"
The text is very long, but the back is full of official words, okay, with this, there is a legitimate reason to continue to go to the tomb.
The other was handed over to me by a comrade from the police officer of the Criminal Investigation Brigade's special task force, and he said that it was the old lady who asked for it to be handed over to me, and I was very surprised, because it stands to reason that the old lady should have already told me everything he knew, and I don't quite understand what else he would send me. It was a package, not very heavy, covered with kraft paper, simply sealed with duct tape, and held in the hand like a book. I opened the package, revealing a booklet inside, and I knew what it was at a glance, and it was neatly written: Jia Family Tree.
I was a little puzzled about the purpose of the old lady's doing, I didn't have the slightest interest in the eight generations of their ancestors, I flipped a few pages casually, and found nothing abnormal, at this time Yun Ximing came to me, planning to have a meeting, to study the arrangements for the tomb, so I put the family tree next to my marching bed.

According to the old lady, it is already certain that this tomb is the swastika seal tomb that Mr. Yun said, and it should be buried in the big boss of the Jia family's pawnshop who is obsessed with money, according to our inference, the tomb of this sealed tomb should be in the center of the entire swastika, so we decided to clean out the remaining two tombs first, and leave the last central tomb to the end.
After all this time, we don't know if the so-called seal is still effective, and it is safest to save the tricky ones for the last, just in case.
In the next two days, our work was tight and busy, and the entrances to the remaining two tombs were quickly found, this was the first time we opened the entrance to the tomb by ourselves, the first tomb was forged by the village secretary to collapse, and the second time the village secretary attracted migrant workers who stole the cable to destroy the entrance. This time we dug the entrance to the tomb by ourselves, and sure enough, the sealing soil at the entrance of the tomb here was very loose, and the sealing plate of the tomb had been damaged by Yan zhòng, exactly like what the old lady said, this tomb had been visited a long time ago, and perhaps visited many times.
We arranged for armed police soldiers to help clean up the cultural relics around the tomb, and the two days passed quite quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the two tombs were cleared out. There was an episode during the cleaning of the burial chamber, and in the western burial chamber, in addition to some remnants of porcelain, a lot of bones were found. The bones were all well preserved, neatly arranged on one side of the burial chamber, there were no coffins, but there was a small tablet next to each corpse. The workmanship of these tablets is very exquisite, the whole piece of Hetian jade is used, and the date and name of the deceased are engraved with the deceased, just these tablets, the market value is also particularly considerable, I am afraid that because of the fear of the dead, these villagers who robbed the tomb for generations did not have the idea of playing these jade tablets. I found that most of the names on the tablets were surnamed Jia, and I think that the villagers killed by the ancestors of the Jia family on the night they went crazy were probably here.
The remains were cleaned out one by one, a total of 38 bodies, I handed over these tablets and corpses to Uncle Lu, and I told him to build a Jia ancestral tomb on the hill behind the village, cremate the corpses, and bury the jade tablets. Ziyang scoffed at my approach, and said: "The family has long passed away, and I want you to be sad here." ”
I gave him a blank look and replied, "A thousand-year-old cold-blooded monster." And he took no more care of him.

The tomb is almost cleaned, we plan to enter the tomb tomorrow to explore, in fact, we are already familiar with the road, we already know what awaits us in front, at night I lie in bed, bored, listening to Dazhe bragging outside the tent, usually at this time only Xiao Jiang will buy his account. From time to time, Xiao Jiang was amused by Dazhe and laughed, when did these two people get so close? I smiled wryly, this can be regarded as a fool's blessing.
It's already ten o'clock in the evening, but I still haven't been sleepy, Ximing and Uncle have not come back from patrolling around, and I don't want to disturb the beautiful two-person world of Dazhe and Xiaojiang, even Ziyang doesn't know where to go, I'm idle, my eyes fell on the genealogy next to the pillow.
It's okay to flip through it, you should be sleepy when you look at it. I began to carefully read this genealogy, the previous record is some biographies, probably how the Jia family made a fortune and so on, the old lady is right, the first ancestor of the Jia family was a wandering orphan, and later was taken in by a great good man, as an apprentice in his pawnshop, he saw more, broadened his horizons, and slowly became a great courtier, with some savings, married a wife and had children, and spread out the branches, and there was the later Jia family. This homeless orphan was not originally surnamed Jia, but in order to thank the good man who took him in, he changed his surname to the surname of the good man, and also took the surname Jia, which gave rise to the later Jia family pawnshop.
After that, there are some genealogies and character profiles, which are very boring, but it is true that since the fifty-second year of Qianlong, the genealogy of the Jia family has become more and more sparse, and finally Jia Xianqing has completely disappeared. I felt that the genealogy was nothing to look at, and remembering the ancestral teachings mentioned by the old lady, I turned back to the first page, only to see the book:
"The descendants of the Jia family must be remembered; Be kind and smile, and don't approach the living. Do good and be blissful, and do not do evil; Kui's has guests, and guests are treated. ”
I rubbed my eyes and read it again, the first four sentences were written in ordinary ink, and the last four sentences were written in a slightly blue-green font, just like the color of the ghost bone door at night, and the last four sentences were written in ghost script!
"The Kui family has a guest, and the guests treat it!"
Kui's? Does this refer to the Kui in our family? Kui's?!
