My chuunibyou self: All my fantasies have come true

The origin of the surname, an overview of the first few generations of the family genealogy, and the ancestral lineage extending upwards.

Basic information, family relationships, deeds and contributions of each ancestor and family member.

Arranged in order of blood relation.

Everything that should be in the family genealogy is there.

"Why is there only the surname Li in this family tree? Where is the surname Zhang?"

Lu Jing discovered the misconception.

At this moment, Miaomiao took down a family tree.

Lu Jing reached out and took it, immediately noticing the difference in texture.

"This Zhang family genealogy has been refurbished."

“Yes, and it’s thicker and looks more upscale.” Miao Miao nodded. “That’s understandable, now most of the villagers are surnamed Zhang, and there are very few people with the surname Li.”

Lu Jing opened the Zhang family genealogy book.

"Is there anything unusual?"

Lu Jing shook his head. "I can't tell yet."

Miao Miao turned her head and glanced again at the candle in the corner.

"There seems to be nothing wrong with this ancestral hall, so why are we not allowed to enter according to the rules?"

"Shh!"

"Someone!"

Miao Miao's expression suddenly changed, and she immediately blew out the candle in the corner.

"......"

Whoosh!!!

"Why would you call me here so late at night? Only a ghost would come to the ancestral hall in the middle of the night."

A man in his forties, holding a flashlight, shone it around inside the ancestral hall.

Fortunately, he was too sleepy to keep his eyes open at that moment, otherwise he would have definitely noticed that the family genealogy hanging on the roof beam was missing.

The man yawned repeatedly, glanced around again, and then walked out of the ancestral hall.

On a dark and high night, the two large red lanterns in front of the ancestral hall stood out conspicuously.

The man was walking with his head down when he suddenly paused.

He turned around and quickly returned to the ancestral hall.

"not good."

Lu Jing and Miao Miao realized the same thing at the same time.

With such heavy snow and footprints, it was impossible to erase one's own footprints as one walked along the way.

I thought that after tonight, the footprints would be covered again by the heavy snow.

Unexpectedly, someone would still come to the ancestral hall at this time.

The man scanned the area again with his flashlight, this time examining it more carefully.

Lu Jing and Miao Miao lay behind the table, holding their breath.

Ok?

The man frowned and muttered to himself:

"Could it have been left behind during the day?"

Lu Jing could see the man's legs getting closer and closer.

There was a hole in the thick cotton pants.

Ok?

Lu Jing stared at the pattern inside the cotton pants.

Louis Vuitton?

Are villagers this fashionable too?

The man sniffled and stopped worrying about it.

Lu Jing and Miao Miao both breathed a sigh of relief.

The man closed the heavy door of the ancestral hall, the copper rings on the door making a crisp clanging sound.

He tucked his hands into his sleeves, bowed his head slightly, and his hunched back resembled a bent bow.

He slowly walked back, one step at a time, the snow crunching under his feet like a sigh from the earth.

Um! ?

The man suddenly realized what was happening.

Wait a minute! I can't find the family genealogy book inside the ancestral hall.

No wonder I always felt like something was missing.

The man quickly turned three steps into two and ran back again.

"Tap tap tap!!!"

The man pushed the door open again and returned.

As the flashlight swept across the room, the family genealogy hanging on the roof beam was clearly visible.

A false alarm!

The man scratched his head vigorously, thinking he was overthinking things.

He muttered curses under his breath, "Can't they even let me have some peace and quiet this late at night!"

Wait until the man leaves.

Miao Miao, who was lying on the roof beam, wiped the sweat from her head, which was dripping with nervousness.

They were almost discovered by just a few seconds.

Lu Jing also emerged from the darkness.

After waiting a while longer, and confirming that there was no further movement, I realized that...

The two then carefully examined the area again.

After confirming that there was nothing there, they returned the way they came.

Footsteps could be heard outside.

Two figures entered the house, one after the other.

Team leader Cao Lihao and the monkey were in another room.

Lu Jing and Miao Miao were afraid of waking the two of them, so they cleaned the snow off their clothes in the corridor.

Miao Miao exhaled, her voice trembling.

It was obviously frozen.

"Looks like we made a wasted trip and found nothing."

"On the contrary, I think we made the right choice."

"How to say?"

“It’s strange that we went to the ancestral hall but didn’t find anything.”

Miaomiao is a smart girl; she understands things very quickly.

"But the rules clearly state not to go near the ancestral hall."

Land sightseeing.

"Maybe we're just lucky," Miao Miao said.

Lu Jing said, "I can't quite put my finger on it, but something just feels off."

But something felt off, though I couldn't quite put my finger on it.

Something's not right.

Something's wrong with the ancestral hall.

But something was off about the ancestral hall, and Lu Jing couldn't quite grasp that crucial point.

If rules are ironclad laws that cannot be violated.

But now it's certain that one of the rules is problematic.
