Chapter 797: Lonely for Life
The Jiang family is also a large family with flourishing branches and leaves. It was only a few generations before Jiang Zhen that the number of people became sparse due to various reasons.
There were at least 700 or 800 names on the whole wall. They were all carved in very small characters. He had to stand vertically to read them in rows. He had to squat down to read the names carved at lower places.
After watching it for a while, Jiang Qilan confirmed one thing - the word "LAN" is special.
Jiang Qilan didn't find any overlap in other words, only the word "LAN".
And on the entire wall, the words "Xian, Shi, Zhen, Qi, You, Xiao, Wei, Dao, Duan, An, Ding, Xiu, Sheng, Qing, Wen, Yang, Ze, Guang" in the calligraphy, except "Qi" The character generation, and all other characters, all appear once in the name with "LAN".
Appeared exactly seventeen times.
Sometimes they are one or two generations apart, sometimes they are three or four generations apart, and sometimes they are right next to each other - Jiang Qilan has not discovered the pattern yet.
But, he discovered something else:
As long as a tribesman with the word "Lan" in his name has no branches after him - that is to say, this person has no descendants.
Could it be that those with the word "Lan" have not married and had children, and have been alone and widowed for the rest of their lives?
Jiang Qilan's fingers lightly brushed over the names of these people.
He said to himself: "Why do you live alone all your life? What inner connection do you have with me?"
Jiang Qilan walked from the right side to the left side, to the end of the name wall.
He found the last person with the word "LAN" in his name, who was his third great grandfather, Jiang Shilan.
He picked up the phone and originally wanted to ask his father. Later, he changed his mind and tried to search the website.
Unexpectedly, the third grandpa Jiang Shilan actually had a Baidu entry.
[Jiang Shilan, a famous bird research expert... was born in 1949 and died in 1994 at the age of 45. 】
A strange cold feeling crawled up Jiang Qilan's back - Jiang Qilan was born in 1994.
——Could this be the answer?
Are people with "Lan" in their names reincarnating from generation to generation?
For a moment, Jiang Qilan felt that the world was big and only he was small.
Jiang Qilan unconsciously raised his hand and touched [Jiang Shilan]'s name with his fingers.
He remembered that when he was a child, whether it was a dream or reality, the man with a miserable face was sucked into the wall by these three words.
The moment his finger touched the third character "LAN", Jiang Qilan shuddered.
A special, wonderful feeling followed his fingertips and extended throughout his body.
He heard footsteps coming from behind, with echoes, very clear and real.
Jiang Qilan wanted to look back, but his body was stiff and he couldn't move at all——
A voice sounded in the back of his head, the voice was so clear and familiar.
"Have you found her?"
That's my own voice.
For a moment, Jiang Qilan suddenly felt that the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and the world was spinning. The next moment, he began to fall.
Continuously, continuously falling.
There was darkness before my eyes.
He tried to raise his arms to grab something, but all he caught was the whistling wind.
After descending for an unknown amount of time, his feet finally touched solid ground.
——The feeling of falling disappeared as suddenly as it appeared.
In the darkness, a little light appeared.
That's an oil lamp.
The flames flickered, a lamp like a bean.
Immediately afterwards, with the lamp as the center, the black fog in front of his eyes gradually dissipated.
Jiang Qilan could clearly see where he was based on the dim and flickering light.
He was in a very dilapidated and quaint house. The floor was not paved with ceramic tiles, but with yellow earth, and the walls were made of earth mixed with thatch.
The furnishings in the room are very simple, with only a wooden table with a tilted top, a pottery bowl with a chipped mouth, and a pottery pot without a lid.
There are two long benches placed next to the table, showing heavy signs of use.
Next to it, there is a weapons rack. There are various weapons inserted on the shelves, such as machetes, halberds, long-handled axes, etc. Each weapon has a cold light and a soul-stirring chill. These are weapons that have truly experienced the battlefield of life and death. They deprive His life was stained with murderous intent that was hard to get rid of.
Hanging on the wall behind the weapons rack is a pair of chainmail armor. The surface of the chainmail armor is covered with horizontal and vertical traces left by swords. Next to the chainmail armor is a pair of capes. The cape has long been damaged, and there are some dark red stains on it... ...resembling dried blood.
This is a real armor, not a plastic prop like the TV series.
Has he returned to ancient times?
