Rebirth 1958: My Home is in Nanluoguxiang

The Chang family's home is very lively today. Chang Wanyue was admitted to the China Foreign Affairs University. Her fourth uncle and her second uncle came over at noon to send their blessings.

After dinner in the evening, Chang Zhengyang said to Xiaoyue who was about to wash the dishes: "Xiaoyue, take a walk with me. Third brother, you wash the dishes."

After saying that, he took Xiaoyue, who was confused, out the door.

The third brother grabbed the fourth brother who was trying to escape. He still wants to run?

Just kidding, brother, we have to share the hard times!

The brother and sister walked in the alley, greeting their neighbors and responding to everyone's congratulations. It was not until they reached Qianmen Street that they had some free time.

"Brother, do you have anything to say to me?"

Chang Zhengyang paused in silence for a moment, then said to Xiaoyue, who looked curious, "Xiaoyue, what I'm going to say next is true and very important. Just listen carefully, and ask any questions you have after I finish."

Xiaoyue hesitated for a moment and then nodded: "Well, I understand, brother, you can tell me, I can handle it."

Chang Zhengyang laughed dumbly upon seeing this and said, "Don't think too much, it's not a bad thing, I'm just afraid that you won't be able to accept it..."

So the brother and sister walked slowly along Qianmen Street. As Chang Zhengyang whispered, Chang Wanyue's mouth slowly opened, her eyes filled with surprise and disbelief.

As the lights came on and night fell, Chang Zhengyang finally finished telling the story of the Zhang family and the past of the Chang family.

"Okay, if you have any questions, ask them now."

Xiaoyue rubbed her cheeks and confirmed that this was not a dream, then asked, "Brother, are you making up a story?"

Snapped!

Chang Wanyue squatted on the ground helplessly, covering her forehead, looking at Chang Zhengyang with dissatisfaction.

Chang Zhengyang said unhappily, "Do you think I am bored and made up a story to amuse you?"

Chang Wanyue had no choice but to stand up and said aggrievedly: "Brother! It's not that I don't believe you, but what you said is too mysterious. There is no such thing as immortality in this world. If there really is such a thing, the First Emperor, Emperor Wu of Han, and Emperor Jiajing would have found it long ago."

"Oh, you still don't believe it? Do you remember the deputy director Zhang who came to visit us last year?"

When Adjutant Zhang was mentioned, Chang Wanyue's eyes sparkled as she said, "Remember, the girls in our alley still often mention him. By the way, brother, where is Deputy Director Zhang? I haven't seen him for a long time."

Chang Zhengyang narrowed his eyes slightly, stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Chang Wanyue's eyes, his eyes full of vigilance and said: "Wake up, that guy is just a pretty boy. I tell you, he is already in his fifties, older than our father. Don't be fooled by his face!"

"Is this true? Brother, you are not lying to me, are you?"

Chang Wanyue exclaimed, covered her mouth, and looked at Chang Zhengyang in surprise. Seeing his serious expression, she became half-believing and half-doubting.

Yes, I am skeptical!

Chang Zhengyang scratched the back of his head in distress, not knowing how to prove it to Xiaoyue. There was no other way except to prove it with time.

Or maybe after a few days when she awakens her Qilin bloodline and experiences the changes in her body herself, she will believe it immediately.

There is no other way.

"Forget it. Believe it or not, it's up to you. I'm just giving you a heads-up. Even if you can't awaken the Qilin bloodline, you must never tell anyone else about your membership in the Changbai Zhang family, including your future lover."

Can’t tell your lover?

Chang Wanyue was immediately dissatisfied and said, "Brother, why do I feel like mother knows this? It should be father who told her, right? Why can't I tell my lover in the future? Since we are lovers, shouldn't there be no secrets between us?"

"Silly girl……"

Chang Zhengyang raised his hand to rub her head, but she avoided him with dissatisfaction. He had to put his hand down and said helplessly: "It's different. Dad and Mom have been through the test of life and death. You don't understand, but I do. You were born late. By the time you can remember, the country had been liberated. When I was young, people died in the alleys every day. You know, there were a few big hooligans in the alleys, and there were also Japanese officers who wanted to occupy Mom. Mom swore to death that she would not obey, and she held a pair of scissors against her neck at the door of our house. I remember it clearly."

Chang Wanyue covered her mouth again and said in surprise: "How come I didn't know about this? Then, how was this matter resolved later?"

Chang Zhengyang sneered, "How to solve it? Those big hooligans and the Japanese officers were killed by my father. I remember it clearly. During those nights, my father came back very late, smelling of blood. My mother hugged him and cried. We even hid in my grandfather's house in the countryside for a while because of this."

The brother and sister were silent for a long time. After a long while, Chang Wanyue said quietly, "Brother, I listen to you."

Chang Zhengyang raised his hand and rubbed her head, and said with relief: "People's hearts are separated by their stomachs. I will find a way to solve the problem of you and your children's Qilin bloodline in the future, but maybe I am overthinking it. It may be difficult for you to awaken again."

Why did Chang Zhengyang make this judgment?

There are three reasons. The first is that he sequenced the genes of his father and five of his brothers and sisters. Except for his, the special gene fragment called Qilin showed intergenerational attenuation and incompleteness.

The second is that he secretly checked Sima Hui's genes. Their family is indeed a Changbai Zhang family of seven people, but the situation is the same as the old Chang family. The Qilin gene fragment is also decaying from generation to generation and is incomplete.

Counting from Zhang Sanlianzi and Master Zhang San, Sima Hui is the fourth generation. Among the four generations, there are more than twenty people with the Changbai Zhang family bloodline, but not a single one has awakened the Qilin bloodline.

The third is the evidence obtained from Dumb Zhang. According to Dumb Zhang, Chang Zhengyang was a child of the Changbai Zhang family who married someone from another family, and the example of awakening his bloodline is extremely rare.

In fact, in order to increase the awakening rate of Qilin bloodline, the Changbai Zhang family has always maintained intermarriage within the family.

If the Changbai Zhang family still existed, people like Chang Zhengyang who had awakened the Qilin bloodline would have to accept the family's arrangement and marry another female member of the Zhang family who had awakened the Qilin bloodline.

From a biological point of view, this meets the requirements of stable genetic inheritance, and Chang Zhengyang agrees with this.

This led to a question for him. With such long-term and extensive inbreeding as the Zhang family's, there should be a large number of deformed babies. How did the Zhang family deal with these people?

At that time, he asked this question to Dumb Zhang, and the answer he got surprised him. These deformed children were executed and buried by the patriarch himself!

Chang Zhengyang suddenly understood why Dumb Zhang was such a taciturn person. The other party was not mentally ill and his mental quality was extremely strong.

After returning home, Chang Wanyue stood at the door and whispered to Chang Zhengyang: "Brother, I don't really care about immortality. If there is immortality, it is just a curse. Watching family and friends grow old one by one, facing the separation of life and death, and being alone in this world is actually very miserable. Brother, if what you said is true, one day in the future we will all be gone, you must be well and strong!"

Chang Zhengyang said nothing, just rubbed her head.
