Modern Little Town God

How, how could it be Fengshan? !

At this moment, Ruan Jiao's heart was full of turmoil. He never imagined that in the old photo album of the Zong family, he would actually see that Taoist Fengshan!Not just the face, but the temperament, appearance, body and eyes, all are exactly the same.

Numerous thoughts flooded Ruan Jiao's mind, making him a little sluggish—if he didn't know the importance of the matter, his expression would have changed now.

Suppressing all his emotions with the greatest willpower, Ruan Jiao forcibly calmed down, and said in a low voice: "Who are these two?" He made an excuse, "...It seems very right."

No wonder Ruan Jiao said this, because although this old photo is old enough to be a little yellow, the image on it is still very clear. It is a man and a woman who are very close. From a common perspective, the man is probably in his 20s The appearance of the woman is high-spirited, and the woman is slightly younger, beautiful and dignified.The two stood side by side outside the gate of a European-style university, their expressions intimate, and there were some shrunken foreigners who strayed into the photo frame around them, obviously they were abroad.

Looking at the back of the photo, the year written down is 1932...

Ruan Jiao thought about it. According to what the senior said, their family had been abroad for more than 20 years at this time, because the patriarch of that generation, Zong Zhiguo, was very knowledgeable, and brought the whole branch abroad, and separated the family neatly. They developed separately, but the main branch developed very well because of Zong Zhiguo's vision. Although the side branches at that time also developed their own industries, they still attached to the main branch and followed the main branch to do things.Therefore, in [-], the Zong family had already developed a large family business abroad, and the next generation of the Zong family at that time also integrated with life abroad...

Fang Xinjie heard what Ruan Jiao said, because her feelings were still immersed in the photos, but she didn't notice that something was wrong with Ruan Jiao, but introduced with a smile: "This is... Let me do the math, many years ago, this The lady is my old man's eldest sister, called... Zong Meide, I have never seen it, but I heard that the eldest sister is a girl who lives up to her name and has many virtues. The one next to her is her husband, whose surname seems to be Qi, who is the same as the eldest sister Classmates from abroad, the two got married within a year after they met, and their relationship was very good after marriage, but it's a pity that they didn't leave a child..."

Ruan Jiao held his face, trying to control his expression, pretending to be fascinated by what he heard.

"Then they still live abroad now? They are quite old."

Fang Xinjie was a little disappointed: "It's been a long time since I passed away. Alas, it's a pity. It's also because the relationship was too good. Brother-in-law Qi passed away before something happened. Later, the eldest sister was in a trance, and followed her."

At this point, Fang Xinjie didn't continue this topic, but continued to flip through other photos.

In order to avoid being discovered by Mrs. Fang about the purpose of asking Fengshan just now, when seeing other couples and some single photos, Ruan Jiao would pretend to be curious and ask, but he would not ask in depth.

But even so, Ruan Jiao could tell that the previous generation of the main branch of the clan had at least six or seven children, but now except for Zong Shengkai, none of them had survived to the present—or, if it wasn’t for the fact that the senior was reincarnated into the The Zong family, the current Zong family probably has no one left. How could such a huge and wealthy family almost die?This is too, too indescribable.Although Ruan Jiao couldn't ask the specific cause of death, as long as he thought of the existence of Fengshan, he felt that it might not be simple...

Ruan Jiao had thoughts in her heart, but she still didn't express them. She just wanted to go back and ask her boyfriend, so she should be able to know more.

Accompanying Fang Xinjie to reminisce about the past, seeing a lot of photos, and getting to know everyone in the Zong family as a whole, when Zong Suizhong came back from get off work, Ruan Jiao also helped Fang Xinjie to the table with Fang Xinjie's smile.

·

In the evening, Ruan Jiao went to the study with Zong Suizhong as usual.

As soon as he entered the small study, the smile on Ruan Jiao's face disappeared, and his expression became serious.

Zong Suizhong had already seen that Ruan Jiao was in a bad mood tonight, and seeing his behavior, he asked, "What happened today?"

Ruan Jiao's face was a bit ugly: "Senior, Fengshan... He used to be a member of the clan."

Zong Sui listened again, and was taken aback for a rare moment, then he frowned and said, "Impossible. The Zong family has great merit, and Fengshan is full of evil, it cannot be from the Zong family."

Fengshan is not qualified to be born in the Zong family, what's more, his origin is already very clear, he is from Liumiao Village.

Ruan Jiao quickly waved his hands: "I'm not saying that he was born in the Zong family, but...he once married a girl from the Zong family."

Zong Suizhong's eyes darkened.

Ruan Jiao didn't have any intention of showing off, so he told Zong Sui what he found out when he was chatting with Mrs. Fang in the afternoon, and then he said sullenly: "I can see that photo very clearly. It can't be someone else, but Feng Shan, Fengshan was over 1931 years old in 30, but when grandma talked about the surnamed Qi, she said that he was the same age as the elder aunt of the senior, that is, 24 years old... Grandma took this as a sad love The story is told, but Fengshan pretended to marry his aunt at a young age, and later cheated to death, and then his aunt died for love... What does he mean? Anyway, he must not hold his fart well, it's weird. Tell me, senior No matter how good my aunt is with him, her parents are still there, and she was raised by foreign education, and she doesn’t talk about the three obediences and the four virtues, will she really die in love? In addition, I would like to ask, those people of the older generation , How did they all die? Counting the years, if they lived to this day, the youngest one would have to be over a hundred years old. If they all died, it would be normal, but their descendants are gone... I doubt them Maybe they didn't die, some of them didn't have time to leave behind their descendants..."

Of course, Fang Xinjie would not be too specific about the inside story when chatting with the younger generation. After all, this is a family affair of the older generation of the Zong family. No matter how much she likes Ruan Jiao, she will not mention it.

It's just that in Ruan Jiao's own heart, he had to think more because of Fengshan.

Zong Suizhong lowered his eyes, frowning to recall.

"I haven't seen the photos of the elders." He has a cold personality since he was a child. When he grew up, he was exhausted by his family's feudal superstition. It was kept in the hands of his grandparents, so he didn't read it. "You can make a few copies of the photos and send them out."

Ruan Jiao reacted quickly when he heard Zong Suizhong's words.

By the way, I saw Fengshan's youthful appearance twice, one was his memory of looking at the soul energy, and the other was the memory of him directly looking at the mountain temple. Except for him, other ghosts and gods and seniors didn't really look at it. I have been to Fengshan's appearance.He asked ghosts and gods to contact Baojiaxian before, and what he asked them to hold was the portrait he drew from his memory, but when he entrusted Tian Baocheng with a dream, it was an image condensed with divine power, which Tian Baocheng drew by himself after he woke up... so Distortion is inevitable, but the reproduction from old photos will be different, it will be very clear.

"Senior is right, but the photos..." Old Madam Fang still keeps them.

Zong Suizhong said, "Leave it to me."

Ruan Jiao felt relieved, since the senior said, it would be fine.

Then, Zong Sui pondered and said: "I have read the genealogy, and I can probably remember it." He thought for a while, "I didn't think about it before, but now that I think about it, other people's lifespan is indeed not long..."

Ruan Jiao quickly asked: "Senior, tell me everything you think of."

Zong Suizhong said: "Great-grandfather Zhiguo had two wives. The first one was called great-grandmother Li Wan, who gave birth to two sons and three daughters. Grandpa Zong Shengli died when he was 33 years old. The twin uncles also died together. It must be that the whole family met something together. The eldest aunt Zong Meide died at the age of 28, and her husband also died three years earlier than the grandfather. The second grandfather Zong Shengqiang was not married, 31 It was also the second year after the death of the great-grandfather. One year later, the second aunt, Zong Mei, died at the age of 26. It is said that she was killed by gangsters in the street in order to protect the little aunt. The life expectancy of the little aunt Longer, died at the age of 52."

Speaking of this, Zong Suizhong added: "My grandfather did not specifically mention the matter of the previous elders. He only recorded the date of birth and death in the genealogy. But my grandfather mentioned the matter of my aunt to the family several times. Among them The second aunt who protected my little aunt with her life was also mentioned."

Ruan Jiao understood. After thinking about it, he couldn't help asking: "Grandpa's age seems to be..."

The age span of their generation is huge.

Zong Suizhong continued: "These five elders are the children of Li Wan's great-grandmother, but Li Wan's great-grandmother has been sick since she gave birth to her little aunt, and died in 57. Later, the great-grandfather died at the age of [-]. At that time, I married my second great-grandmother."

Ruan Jiao was a little confused by the series of birth and death years, and unconsciously said: "Great-grandfather is really old and strong..." As soon as he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong, and after trying to smooth it out, his throat moved slightly, "On March [-] Years later, only..."

There are only two daughters, Zong Meimei and Zong Meiyan, left, and the previous descendants are gone. Li Wan's great-grandmother, a sick old lady, must not be able to bear the blow of successive bereavements, so she can't hold on.After her death, Zong Meiyan also passed away, leaving only Zong Meiyan.At this time, the great-grandfather was 55 years old, and he remarried two years later. Did something else happen?

Zong Suizhong really explained: "My grandfather said that my little aunt was born with dystocia, and her health has always been poor. The second aunt is the closest to her in age. She protected her since she was a child, and she will protect her with her life in critical moments. The relationship between the two sisters Very well, the death of the second aunt dealt a huge blow to the younger aunt, and the health of the younger aunt was even worse. Because she was the only seedling, she quickly recruited a husband for the continuation of the family, but her body was too weak, and she hadn't been married for two years. The child, after a checkup, I found out that she could not have children at all, so the great-grandfather had to remarry. The second great-grandmother was an orphan living abroad. She was in good health and the best age for childbearing. However, the relationship between her and the great-grandfather The relationship is not a couple who love each other. She voluntarily married her great-grandfather in order to get a stable life. It is recorded in the genealogy that she died of a serious illness 20 years after marrying her great-grandfather. After marriage, she gave birth to her great-grandfather two a son."

Ruan Jiao was stunned: "Two?"

Zong Sui sighed heavily: "I also have a little grandfather, his younger brother, Zong Shengxuan, who passed away in [-]."
