"After the old man's work unit dormitory was demolished, our family was divided into houses. It was newly built at that time. After it was built, only our family lived there. After the house was divided, we got married and have lived there since. We got married. Xiaowuzi’s sister is someone else’s. Didn’t she come to have a wedding banquet? She must know.”

"Just once, how many years ago, and he still knows?"

"..."

"Dad, you are really...huh...maybe we have been looking for the wrong person for our feelings?"

"Ah, this..."

"You and your relatives... Judging from the time, it is probably your father's generation, have you ever done anything special together? For example, invited a goddess, encountered a murder, or Something like that, something that might attract ghosts?”

"No, our family doesn't believe this."

"Is it possible for some people to meet someone like 'Xiao Ying' together?"

"I shouldn't have. My dad just..."

"Really... Do I need to check again?\

,""Hey, this..."

"We are still sorting out New Year's cards, so the original investigation cannot be said to be in vain. Next, we will expand the scope of the search."

"Okay. This is going to trouble you. We are holding the deposit slip, just like holding a hot potato. Such a big sum of money... We don't know what Xiao Ying's situation has been in these years. Sigh... …”

"Don't worry. We will continue to investigate. If you find anything or encounter any unusual events, please contact us in time."

"Okay, okay."

"...The fortune teller said that he had to find a godfather and stand in his way. After much calculation, he found that his uncle in the next room would be his godfather..."

"There is no sound around these two people. Let me tell you, what is going on? Is that Xiao Ying a relative of their family?"

"Not sure yet. Nangong, how is your arrangement going?"

"The route has been roughly drawn, and I also checked part of the customs records. Some countries do not have a unified database, so I have to send a letter to ask them to cooperate."

"Do you need to apply for this? Can ordinary people use it?"

"I used another email address to send them the application."

"Huh? Can you do that?"

"..."

"You haven't found a qualified candidate yet?"

"Not yet."

"Well……"

"Beauty, what do you think?"

"I am inclined to their judgment. Xiao Ying should be related to their family, distant relatives. Maybe he is the person they think he is."

"Why? A woman's intuition?"

"You can call it experience. That little five has a very complicated life experience. There are too many things you can do here."

"Huh?"

"She was talking about supernatural techniques. In that era, superstition had not yet been eradicated. Even now, in order to continue the family line, there are many cases of abandoning and killing female infants, and there are also many outhouses that give birth to sons. Shen Mingyi, Shen It wouldn’t be surprising if Changshou and that Agou, three generations ago, did something.”

"But it wasn't strange to send greeting cards before, right? What did the three grandfathers and grandsons do? The latter Xiao Ying sent greeting cards and money... maybe his ideas were more Westernized?"

"That's not clear."

On November 5, 2001, the client’s relative Ye Kai was contacted. Audio file 00720011105.wav.

"Hello, Mr. Ye."

"Hey, hello. Please sit down. Do you want something to drink?"

"No."

"oh……"

"Mr. Ye, I have taken the liberty to contact you because I want to ask about your grandfather's affairs with the Shen family."

"Yeah. I know. You want to ask about Xiao Ying, right? I have some impressions of this too. My grandparents and mother have passed away. My father and my mother have a good relationship, but for my grandparents... they The two old people are quite prejudiced. It's the kind of prejudice that comes from the older generation. My father's family situation was not good at that time, and my mother married at a low age, which made the two old people very dissatisfied. ...Oh, I’m sorry, I went a little bit off topic.”

"It doesn't matter, we also want to know more about the situation of the entire Shen family. If it's convenient, it would be of great help to us if you could tell us a little more."

"Well, as long as you don't mind. I really don't have anyone to talk to about these things. For my son, these are too far away. He doesn't even remember what his great-grandfather and great-grandmother look like, and he doesn't even remember their names. I don’t know. Before my mother passed away, she still held my hand and often told some old stories about our family... It was quite uncomfortable to hear... It was not a famous family, and there were no celebrities in the family. Documentaries, biographical novels...I heard from my mother that my great-grandfather wanted to do this kind of thing. "

"Not put into practice?"

"He wrote something. The ancestors in the family, the situation in the family before... My family used to be a big landowner in Minqing, and we also had a lot of fields. But as we get older, our health is not that good, and our cultural level is also poor. It was not that high, and during the war years, the matter was not completed in the end. The few manuscripts he left behind were thrown away and cannot be found. "

"Um."

"Maybe it's because of his age. When I look at my son now, I feel a little like back then. My mother passed away not long ago... I can't help but recall those memories, the memories of her, and some of the things she told me. … My father loves my mother very much, but he doesn’t want to remember. My wife knew very little about my mother, and we were planning to move to the capital when we got married… The seventh and eighth aunts in the family were just children. I met her when I got married, but she doesn’t understand this... When my son grows up, he may not even remember what his ancestors did. He may not even remember the past of people like us. Once a person dies, he dies like a lamp going out... nothing is left..."

"Are you okay, Mr. Ye?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I am... in my son's words, pretentious and artistic. I'm so sorry."

"It's okay. Please continue. What did your mother and you remember? Can you tell us?"

"Yeah. It's mainly about things from the past. She is the second among three siblings. She has an eldest brother and a younger brother. One of her brother's two children immigrated and the other died in a car accident. My wife He remarried with his children and has no contact with us. There is a big age gap between my uncle and my mother. I remember that his son must have been in college now, and he called our family. My mother was very happy that she finally had a college student in the family. She was not in good health at that time, and she originally wanted to go out for a drink and send my cousin to college, but that didn’t happen.”

"Um."

"She had a lot of emotions at that time. What she knew was probably about her grandfather's grandfather. The earliest generation, the big landowner Arita, gave birth to more than a dozen daughters. Only three survived. I don’t care if I go out, just two precious sons, their names seem to mean something..."
