Chapter 31 Pei Family Tree(1/2)

He stumbled out of the rescue room, his mind was blank.

The sound of family members crying in my ears.

I was supported by Bai Ji and sat on the seat in the corridor, not knowing what to do for a moment.

"Cry, don't hold it in your mouth."

Bai Ji's words were like switches, and the next second I burst into tears.

A year ago, I experienced a separation from my father, and a year later, I tasted the feeling of losing my family again.

Grandma's body was temporarily placed in the morgue in the hospital. My family and I went home first and simply arranged the mourning hall. There was a black and white photo of grandma in the middle of the table. There was an incense burner in front of the photo, and three incense sticks were inserted inside.

My emotions calmed down a little, and I sat in the corner and listened to my elders discussing how to deal with my grandmother's funeral.

"According to the rules of the old Pei family, we have to bury the old lady in the ancestral tomb of the Zhoushan Mountain." The person who spoke was my second uncle. Although I am the youngest in our generation, my father is a big among the elders.

When my father passed away last year, my family also transported my father's body to Zhoushan. At that time, I was in the hospital and couldn't participate in my father's funeral, so I couldn't go to Zhoushan.

The third aunt nodded: "It's time to call the funeral home early tomorrow morning."

Speaking of funeral homes, I think of coming alone.

"I have friends I know in the funeral home, so I'll contact you." I picked up my cell phone and dialed Fu Xing's phone. After explaining the situation, Fu Xingru was struck by lightning, and she burst into tears. She said that she and Jiang Han would arrive soon.

"It's too late today. You guys are willing to come tomorrow." I said weakly, "Let Jiang Han help me contact the funeral home car. My grandma is going to send it to the ancestral tomb in Zhoushan for funeral."

"Okay, that's all." Fu Xing sobbed twice. I heard her ping-pong, probably wearing clothes and shoes. "Grandma is so healthy. She usually goes to your house, and she uses me as her granddaughter. She doesn't meet her for the last time. You say I..."

Fu Xing said and cried again: "I'll go there now. If you can help, please help me, otherwise I will feel unhappy."

When the phone hung up, I didn't have any extra thoughts to care about her anymore. I kept thinking about what she said.

Grandma is such a healthy person, she left as soon as she leaves.

Yes, she is not sick or disaster-free. Grandma takes good care of her body and goes to the hospital for physical examinations every year. Apart from some hypertension, she does not have any underlying diseases.

And my father, who was in his prime, died suddenly.

My eyes dimmed a little bit again. The passing years are unfavorable. Could it be that my family is in trouble and that Feng Shui will defeat people.

Thinking of this, I found Bai Ji and asked about Feng Shui questions at home.

Bai Ji said that the Feng Shui in the living room is not very good, but it can only block money. There are some other minor problems that will not cause severe disasters at all.

"Think about whether something strange happened some time ago. Everything is fine, as long as you think it is strange." Bai Ji touched his chin, as if waiting for my answer, and as if he was thinking.

Strange thing...

In addition to my nightmare, the strange thing about grandma is that before I went to Rongcheng, my grandma was in a bad mood, and...

I suddenly remembered something, and at that time I felt that I was dazzled or had hallucinations.

"By the way, when I went to Rongchengqian to take a taxi to the airport, I was sitting in the taxi and accidentally saw someone standing behind my grandma. It flashed by and disappeared when I looked again."

Bai Ji frowned and immediately asked me: "What kind of person is it?"

"I don't know, I didn't see clearly. I shouldn't be tall. Grandma is short. That person is only a little taller than Grandma and has his head down."

The more I said that, my heart became colder. I didn’t see clearly at that time. Now I think I should be a woman.

Speaking of women, they often appear in my dreams, sit by my bed, and keep calling Pei Musheng.

Pei Mu, Sheng.

Pei...

I stood up, pushed away my family's block, and ran directly into my grandma's room.

The second drawer, the second drawer...

Have it!

In front of me was a large yellowed book with a cover and paper. The cover was made of cowhide and was well preserved and not damaged at all.

There are three words printed on the cover with an electric pen: Pei Family Tree.

"It's your family tree." Bai Ji stood beside me, still frowning.

I nodded and couldn't wait to open the first page.

It turned out that the genealogy was bound later. After turning it over, the first page was written: Zhoushan Peishi Genealogy.

There are narratives, regular rules, family rules, and family rules.

Then, the first member of the family is the ancestors who were hundreds of years ago.

There are many traditional Chinese characters in the family tree, which I seem to have a little trouble. I jumped to the ancestors in front of me.

This jump directly jumped to the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China period. The second generation of the Pei family was the first to be the commander Pei Deyong in the late Qing Dynasty.

Wait, I remember when I was a child, my grandfather told me that his ancestors were all poor peasants and lived a hard life of eating braised vegetables. How could there be so many high-ranking officials in his ancestors?

Turning to the next page, I was stunned when I saw the name.

Pei Musheng?

Pei Musheng!

I looked at Bai Ji in disbelief, and he also looked at me. For a moment, we didn't know what the mouth was for when we were on our faces.

"Bai Ji..." I opened my mouth for a long time before I could speak.

Apparently he was much calmer than me: "Next page."

I swallowed, my hands trembled a little, and I turned another page.

My head exploded with a bang.

Pei Zhenzhen is my grandmother’s name.

Zhenzhen, Zhenzhen.

Pei Musheng, Pei Mu, Sheng.

I thought it was just me, I thought it was.

“This matter is a bit complicated.”

Bai Ji is the only person who knows everything I have done recently.

He participated in the rumor of Si Village No. 4 and the case of Fangxin Apartment No. 302. He knew that all my nightmare was still there. I told his grandmother that a few days before her death, a figure stood behind her.

"You flip back." He thought for a moment, as if he had thought of something, "maybe there would be unexpected results."

What else is more exciting than the news that Pei Musheng is my old man.

After hearing his words, I turned back and said that the next page of my grandma was my father Pei Yongyan.

"Flip again." Bai Ji said it very sure. I think he must have guessed the final answer.

My ability to withstand is no longer allowed to calm down.

My hands were trembling even harder, so I took two deep breaths and touched the paper with my fingers.

The next page of my father on the family tree is like my name.

Pei Mu.

Yes, I actually entered the family tree.

Generally speaking, the people recorded in the family tree are all from the father's generation. Although I can write them into the family tree, I will only record them on the page of my father. After I get married, I will no longer have any other records on the family tree.

My father has only me, and his father is the eldest son but I am not the eldest grandson.

So the next page of my father's family tree should be my grandfather's eldest grandson and my cousin.

But unexpectedly, my name appears on a separate page in the family tree, just like my grandma, on an important page in the family tree.

I turned to my grandma's page again. Unexpectedly, the record was that my grandma was from the old Pei family, and my grandfather changed his surname to Pei after marrying into the Pei family.

It's messy, my worldview is completely messy.

"Pei Mu..."

Perhaps Bai Ji has seen through everything, but I am still on the verge of collapse.

"I'm very confused and want to stay alone for a while." I held the family tree and sat in the rocking chair that my grandmother often sat on. "Fu Xing and the others should be coming soon, please help me receive it."

After speaking, I showed a miserable smile. Although I was laughing, my heart was even more uncomfortable than crying.

"Okay." Bai Ji didn't say anything more, patted my shoulder and turned around and closed the door.

I was the only one in the room, stroking the Pei family's genealogy with my hands. My grandmother had been waiting for me to see her for the last time before she passed away. Her only last words were to let me find the genealogy, and what did my grandmother want to tell me.

I opened the family tree again and went to read it one by one. I always felt that the most important thing was my old man Pei Musheng.

Pei Musheng was born in Zhoushan in 1898. He is the eldest son and grandson at the age of 20. He inherited his father's rank and served as the young marshal of Thunder Warlords in the early eighth year of the Republic of China.

In the tenth year of the Republic of China, he served as the commander of the Great Commander. In the second year, he went north to suppress bandits and led the north to three places, and his reputation was greatly gained.

In the 20th year of the Republic of China, the Thunder Warlords suffered severe damage and fell apart. Pei Musheng, a hero of his generation, died of illness and left a daughter, Pei Zhenzhen, who was thirty-four years old.

The photo found at No. 302 of Fangxin Apartment was confirmed to be Pei Musheng in military uniform. A photo from a hundred years ago, how did it run into the walls of Fangxin Apartment just a few years ago.
