Chapter 130 I Never Do Anything Without Being Sure

and heavens outside of heavens. This time, our vision is shortsighted."A few words from me would have caused Huaxiang to be humiliated, I thought watching Jiang Wan lose face. Unexpectedly, she made..."Yes, young master"

"Chen Zekai blurted out, "I'll send it to your WeChat right away." 。After hanging up the phone, Chen Zekai sent the files to Ye Chen. 。After checking, Ye Chen found that the old lady's background was very simple, but there seemed to be something extraordinary about her. 。The old woman's surname was Jiang, her given name was Nan Qiao. She was born and raised in the Shunan mountainous region. Even when she got married, she didn't marry far away; instead, she married a young man from the same village. 。Over the next fifty years, she was highly unlikely to leave this small village because in each census, she was listed as a permanent resident of the household, and her records clearly indicated that she cooperated with the census takers on each occasion. 。And that village, at its most populous period, was no more than forty or so households and three hundred people. Now, with severe population loss, only ten or so households and forty or so people remain here, mostly middle-aged and elderly. 。It seems that the old woman should be just an ordinary elderly person left behind in a mountain village. She has lived a simple and ordinary life all her life, as simple and ordinary as it could be. 。But Ye Chen felt that she seemed extraordinary because of her name, Nan Qiao. 。Ye Chen, having been influenced by his father since childhood and read many books, immediately recognized that this Nan Qiao originated from the line "Nan You Qiao Mu, Bu Ke Xiu Si" in "The Book of Songs·National Style·Han Guang". 。"An eighty-year-old woman, if her parents weren't scholars, it would be impossible for them to give her such a name." 。Eighty years ago, scholars were of a different caliber than today. 。

Moreover, Ye Chen remembered that when he saw the old woman in the underground prison in Mexico, she had told him about the origin of the phoenix bone vine bracelet. Her ancestors were famous doctors during the Tang Dynasty. This phoenix bone vine was passed down from her ancestors. Unfortunately, although her family passed down the phoenix bone vine, they lost the medical tradition during the Anshi Rebellion.

It's simple to pass on an object, but passing on a skill is incredibly difficult. The former only requires "giving" something to the next generation, while the latter demands "teaching" a lifetime of learning to them. Although both involve "jiao," the former may take only a second, while the latter could take a whole life. 。Moreover, although the old lady only briefly described the origin of the Phoenix Bone Vine that day, it was enough to prove that her family had been passed down in an orderly manner for 1,500 years. 。This is quite rare. 。In other words, being able to ensure the orderly succession of the family for over a thousand years during the turbulent period of feudal society proves that this family was very powerful. 。Even if someone survives various disasters with their strength, it is difficult to guarantee the continuation of their family. For example, after a turbulent period, only one child might be left alive in a family. This child may beg for a living and eventually be adopted by another family, taking on a new surname and name. In this situation, if they can still remember their original surname, it is already extremely rare. For them to remember the basic information about their ancestors throughout the generations and the core points of their family history would be a dream. 。

But if one is strong enough, it's a different story. Even if only a child survives in the midst of chaos, if there are ancestral properties, gold and silver, books, family records, and support from relatives outside the family, that child can still carry on the family lineage when they grow up.

Of course, such strength doesn't necessarily mean having enough wealth and social status. It could also refer to a special ability. If a family has passed down a certain craft through generations, allowing each generation to make a living, then that family is likely to continue for generations to come. 。

However, the old woman had said that their family's medical skills had long since been broken off from transmission, so presumably their ancestors should have had other extraordinary abilities.am envious and covetous.But thinking of Luo Nv's fate, no one dares to provoke Jiang Wan's bad luck. Now, in everyone's eyes, Jiang Wan is a demonic existence.After dinner, people laid out mats and on...
