Chapter 62: It turns out to be a genetic problem
I walked from the room to the big yard. We had held the party here last time.
Although we are about to leave, once things here are dealt with, they will have nothing to do with us.
But I still really want to know who is buried in that grave and why the village chiefs of five villages are buried together.
"Are you talking about the ancient tomb above the ancestral tomb?"
Zhao Zihao looked at me.
I nodded.
"I also heard from the older generation that this village was actually the home of a wealthy man. The wealthy man had five sons, and he allocated all five villages to his sons. The wealthy man married ten wives in the village and became a local tyrant. But after all, he is also our ancestor, so we rarely mention the faults of this wealthy man."
What?!
Ten wives? ?
When I heard what Zhao Zihao said, I was stunned.
How rich does one have to be to own a farm, and how rich does one have to be to marry ten wives?
"You mean the old man?" Zhang Xiaotao also knew about this matter. He interrupted and said, "Ten wives are nothing. I heard from my grandmother that he had nearly a hundred children!"
"I have also heard about this matter. Isn't this our ancestor?"
Zhao Zihao and Zhang Xiaotao were talking to each other, all they talked about was the enviable history of that rich man.
Zhao Zihao also told me that as time goes by, the children of wealthy people are unwilling to go out to work. After all, their families have money, so they just find some brothers and sisters to marry at home.
Later, it gradually evolved into the current Wujiao Village, and the village head was the one who was passed down from the eldest son.
"In fact, we all had the surname Hu at the beginning. Later, some girls married outsiders and brought them back to live. This is how we gradually formed the Hundred Family Surnames. But many people still prefer to date in the village. After all, they grew up here and know everyone well."
!!!!
Then I know.
This is where the problem lies.
The reason why people in this village always have a short life span is because they have the same genes.
Even after so many years, most people still choose to marry someone in the village. Over time, the genes have not changed much.
This has nothing to do with dirty things at all!
It was all that Yin-Yang master's trick. She might have known that there was a genetic problem in the village a long time ago, so she took advantage of this and tricked the villagers into burying their children under the school.
But what good would it do her?
I couldn't figure it out for a moment.
So I told Zhao Zihao and the others everything I knew.
Then it dawned on them.
"So that's how it is. I thought it was just some ghost story, but it turns out there's something wrong with my genes!" Zhang Xiaotao stared at me with his eyes wide open. "I've never thought about this before, but I can assure you that when I was in middle school, I was pretty good at science, especially biology."
I smiled.
It doesn’t matter actually. It happened so many years ago and there’s no point talking about it now.
The villagers at that time did not think too much about it, and many years ago it was normal for cousins to get married.
"So if you want to marry a wife in the future, try to marry one from another place. Women from the same village may have similar genes to you, and they may affect your offspring."
I casually reminded them, stood up and left their table.
I was originally planning to go look for my cousin, but after taking just two steps, Hu Yue grabbed me.
"There is something I want to tell you, but you just need to know it and don't tell anyone."
He has always been kind to others and rarely shows such a serious expression to us.
Maybe he really wanted to share something with me, so I nodded and followed him to the locust tree.
"Do you remember that I told you about my boss before? He was in urgent need of this piece of land, and he bought it for more than double the price ."
I had forgotten about this incident at first, but when Hu Yue suddenly brought it up, I became curious again.
"Yes, why is that?"
Hu Yue looked around and found that no one was paying attention to us, so he told me the truth.
It turned out that a long time ago someone told his boss that as long as he invested in this piece of land and did some charity in this village, his boss's group in the city would make a lot of money.
After hearing this, I was overwhelmed.
What is going on here?
"Have you seen that man? What kind of person is he?" I looked at Hu Yue curiously.
Hu Yue shook his head. "I only do things for money. We don't know who the boss met. We just heard it from a secretary beside him. I think this matter is suspicious, so I told you. I think you are young, knowledgeable, and smart."
After being praised by him like this, I scratched my head a little embarrassedly.
But this matter has passed, and there is no curse on this village. It's just that there is a problem with the genes, which is why some people die early or go crazy.
"Then your boss was probably cheated. But since it's a charity, God will reward him, so you don't have to worry about it. Let's just let this matter go. You don't have to mention anything else to your boss. After all, he won't believe you even if you tell him, and he might even think you're making trouble."
I touched my nose and reached out to pat Hu Yue's shoulder.
After hearing what I said, he nodded helplessly.
We don’t understand the world of the rich. There are actually people who would spend more than double the price to buy a piece of land that has no growth value.
My cousin called me over and we were both so happy that day. The problem was solved and the money was received.
My cousin and I took the wine and drank it one cup after another.
I can finally relax after today.
I don’t know how much I drank, but I was drunk and passed out in the end, and I fell asleep directly.
I slept until dawn, and when I woke up in the morning I stretched and felt quite comfortable.
When we left, not only did Hu Yue and his colleagues from the construction site come to see us off, but even Zhao Zihao and Zhang Xiaotao came.
"Remember to call me if you go out of town next time. We brothers will go out for a drink and I'll treat you." I patted my chest.
Zhao Zihao and Zhang Xiaotao smiled knowingly.
They will definitely go to the city because they want to marry wives.
The car drove towards the city, and the future fate of the village was in their own hands.
But I believe it will get better.
After all, with schools, left-behind children have hope of going to the city.
