Chapter 5 The Curse of the Yin Family

Li Zhiyun returned from studying in the Soviet Union in the late 50s and joined the Ministry of Metallurgy.At that time, my grandfather had graduated from the University of Geosciences for a few years, and was working as the director of a small office in the prospecting research laboratory.Including him, there are a total of seven people in this office.

At that time, everyone paid attention to practical work, so this new office followed the prospecting department into the Wanli Mountains in Guangxi.

It was there that Li Zhiyun met his fate.

At the beginning of the 60s, intellectuals were quite fresh and popular, so locals naturally welcomed them.Coupled with the fact that a group of young engineers from BJ came here this time, the local government actively arranged for young people to come for learning exchanges.

The local government has a good plan.Once the young people have communicated well, even if the unit has to leave at that time, the intellectuals can stay as family members to build the local area.

My grandparents got married as soon as they graduated, and he never went to these extra shows.But Li Zhiyun is different.He comes from a good family background, has a high vision, and is very lively, so he naturally wants to participate in more activities.

There were quite a few people playing together at that time, and many of them were empresses from famous local families.The Yin family is a prominent family in the local area, and the daughter of the Yin family, Yin Xuan, also stayed abroad.The young master of the Li family and the young lady of the Yin family saw each other as soon as they came and went.So in the second year of working, Li Zhiyun proposed marriage to the Yin family.The Yin family is very satisfied with this young man. After all, he is the only one who can learn everything from good character and family background.When we got married, there was a wine in the local area, and there was also a party in BJ.

When I heard this, it was a perfect match.When Li Zhiyun mentioned that period of time, he couldn't stop smiling.But if things go so well, it's an old-timer love story, and I don't have to sit here and listen to the big secrets.

Li Zhiyun continued on.

"After I got married, I was going to settle down in Guangxi with Yin Yu. During those days, it was really worthless. Then it came to the end of the 60s. My family's background was not good, and it was due to the fact that it was remote at that time, so it didn't affect many people. Big. Having said that, my position has also been changed and my work has been suspended.

At that time, there was a project in Qilian Mountains, which was to explore national mineral resources.Your grandfather has been following up since the early 60s, and this time he was instructed to enter the mountain again.I also want to join that project for some reasons.So I went to your grandfather and said that no one dares to use me now, but I need some grades to keep my family safe and prosperous.As an old colleague and old friend, your grandfather put me into the team under pressure.The task of the exploration team is indeed to find resources, but in fact I have other plans. "

It turned out that the Yin family had a rare genetic disease.The disease continues through blood only, and only one living person has an attack.

When Li Zhiyun and Yin Jue were dating, it was Yin Jue's cousin Yin Junbi who had this strange disease, and the rest of the Yin family were no different from ordinary people.However, for this kind of blood-borne disease, people in the family will not have the mentality that it has nothing to do with them.No one knows whether this disease will be the turn of themselves or their children and grandchildren one day.So they are obliged to inquire about the news.

During the relationship, Yin Zhen told Li Zhiyun about her family.It turned out that she approached Li Zhiyun, who was engaged in geological research, to find out if their team had discovered any unusual geological activities here, because her cousin's illness had become more serious in recent years.

In fact, Yin Yu told him the truth after he was ready to separate from Li Zhiyun.But Li Zhiyun didn't care.When talking about marriage, Yin Yu talked to Li Zhiyun countless times about the hidden disease flowing in her blood, and told him that this curse might appear on her, or more terrifyingly, on their future children.

But nothing can stop them from falling in love, not the times, let alone this erratic fate.The young lover thought luckily, after all, the Yin family has a large family, so such a unique thing would not happen to him.

They lived in peace for several years, and their children were born and grew up.A family of four, like everyone else in this era, rises and falls with various waves.I thought life was like this, until the eldest daughter of the two of them woke up crying one night, her body was burning hot, and she sought medical treatment everywhere but could not find the reason.That rare family disease became a sharp sword hanging over their heads, shaking back and forth tremblingly.

Li Zhiyun learned from Yin Junbi that it was a piece of ore that caused the strange disease of his people.

A strange incident was once recorded in the Yin family's family chronicle. More than 2000 years ago, where they lived for generations, a mountain rose from the ground.In the beginning, the mountain was only the size of a mound, and no one took it seriously.But in a short period of time later, it stretched into mountains.

There was also a geological anomaly in the history books of the same era.In June, it was snowing heavily in Sichuan, and the streams smelled like sulfur.The Yin family is a big family that has continued from generation to generation, and they can't wait to tell the history after thousands of years.

"When I was going to marry Yin Xuan, I saw her family tree."

Speaking of this, Li Zhiyun smiled from the bottom of his heart.But that smile was short-lived.

After some members of Yin's family fell ill one after another, the rest of the clan looked for the cause of all this.They found that the geological anomaly was caused by a mineral extraction.

At that time, the emperor who was far away in Luoyang wanted to cast a unparalleled tripod, and the whole world was looking for metal mines.And an inexperienced blind mining dug a ground fissure, and there was a piece of flawless jade in the ground fissure.The officials invited skilled craftsmen to make this piece of jade into a dragon shape and go to the emperor to ask for credit.However, no matter what tool is used, this jade cannot be worn away.

Later, an expert figured out that this is not a mortal thing, and rash actions will lead to disasters.In addition, there was indeed an abnormal weather at that time, so the superstitious ancients built an underground palace according to the instructions of the masters at the seam where the jade was found, and put the jade back and settled it.

The expert said that the underground palace must be completed in the next month.But at that time, it was impossible to build a standard building in half a month.The expert only told them, just go ahead and build it.Anything that is in accordance with God's will will be fulfilled by God.

Strange to say.The fifteenth day of that month happened to be the Hungry Ghost Festival, and there was no moon in the sky.This gave the officials time to hurry and finally built the underground palace on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.According to his instructions, the officials who threw themselves into the ground also built a temple seven hundred miles southeast of the underground palace, dedicated to a stone brought up from a crack in the ground.That stone is exactly the same as jade.

When the emperor's tripod was cast, he also learned of the existence of this piece of jade, so he ordered someone to bring the jade to him.But when the generals under his command went to Shu, they found that where there should be a seam in the ground, there was a series of mountains from east to west, stretching seamlessly across the road.

Afterwards, there were many heroes everywhere, and no one cared about finding this unfounded jade anymore.

At the same time, the Yin family began to be plagued by illness.Since the first discovery of the law of the disease, the members of the Yin family have not stopped looking for a solution for a moment.

Li Zhiyun said: "Several generations in front of Yin's family were limited by age, and went around many detours. Later, with the development of technology and exchanges with the world, they gradually realized that this disease is not a curse. Caused by the radiation emitted by the jade mentioned in the records."

It seems that the Yin family has indeed put in a lot of effort, and the education level of the clan is estimated to be quite high, and they also know the development of science and technology and the integration of international research.

But after all, there was no reform and opening up in the early 70s, and the information that can be referred to is indeed limited.It wasn't until the 90s that we knew that the radiation problem of the Yin family was not in Guangxi or Qilian, but in Sichuan.It is likely to be the ground fissure where jade was discovered handed down by their family.

The Yin family has lived in Shu at least since the Zhou Dynasty or the beginning, which is now called the ancient Shu Kingdom, and only moved to present-day Guangxi at the end of the Ming Dynasty.As for the reason for moving the whole family, what happened to the Yin family before coming here is still unknown.

"What I care about is what caused the Yin family's strange disease in Sichuan, so the investigation focus of the Yin family and our Li family turned to Sichuan. This is also the answer that Li Yuan's parents went to Sichuan several times to find.

At first, the members of Yin's family thought that their genetic disease was caused by the local magnetic field, but they did not find anything in Guangxi through investigation.You also know that the Yin family's investigative methods are pervasive. "

It seems that Li Zhiyun is not completely indifferent to Yin Zhen approaching him in order to obtain information from the geological team.

"But I didn't know this back then. Li Zheng was my daughter. After she got sick, Yin Junbi called us over and said something that the rest of the Yin family didn't know about."

In fact, everyone who is blood related to the Yin family has this disease.It's just that this disease has a long incubation period according to modern medicine, and most patients are asymptomatic.Since only one living member of the Yin family has clinical manifestations of this disease, they mistakenly believe that this person is 'chosen' or 'bears the curse for the family', which leads to wrong investigations by previous generations direction.

When this symptom appeared on Li Zheng, Yin Junbi's "sickness" disappeared.And after Li Zheng, it might be the turn of any member of the Yin family.But who will be the next one, no one can say for sure, no one knows how this strange ancestral disease chooses the 'successor'.The only law that can be followed is that when one person is liberated, another tribe member will be 'chosen'.The selected people have always been in good health except that they will have "diseases" during a specific period of time.

Speaking of this, Li Zhiyun stopped and looked at me.I also watched the old man.

He paused, "Yin Junbi told me: 'This transformation is like choosing a sacrifice, but we don't know who we are preparing for.'"

I involuntarily opened my eyes wide.

My heart would tremble when I heard this statement in modern society, let alone a family in feudal society.It is no wonder that several generations of the Yin family have rushed to this strange disease one after another, quietly expanding, and collecting all possible information like chickens without a head, just to learn more about this strange disease that cannot be explained.

Fortunately, no matter who the curse falls on, the members of the Yin family did not stop looking for a solution.

By the time the daughter of Li and Yin fell ill, the Yin family's family information network had covered the land of China.The news has been updated to a strange area in the Qilian Mountains.

Since then, the Li family's connections have been added to the Yin family's influence.Although the Li family tree was very popular, it was especially precarious in that era.But after all, the foundation is intertwined, and it will not be easily dug up.

So Li Zhiyun took over the side mission through the Li family's relationship, and then ran to my grandfather to use the name of the survey team as a cover to avoid being noticed.

I have a lot of questions when I hear this.

Why did Yin Yu want to inquire about geological activities at the beginning? Could it be that they felt that their illness would be affected by geographical phenomena?Who gave Li Zhiyun that side mission?Is there any connection between the geological phenomenon that Yin Yu wants to know and the "magnetic field" in Li Zhiyun's side mission?

Although I was full of doubts, I didn't interrupt Li Zhiyun and continued to listen to him.

After following the survey team into the mountains, Li Zhiyun has been looking for opportunities to act alone.But it is extremely dangerous to leave the team on the high-altitude snow-capped mountains, and Qilian Mountain is a resource-sensitive area.Coupled with the background of the times, if something happened or was discovered, several lives would have to be accounted for, and it would also harm his old friends who helped him.Thinking about the consequences, Li Zhiyun felt chills all over his body.But thinking of the crying daughter at home, he couldn't help but do it.

What really made Li Zhiyun's selfishness go to waste was the side mission.

According to the line set up by the Li family, Li Zhiyun went to the local area to find the person in charge of contacting him.Unexpectedly, what he saw was not a certain person, but another team.Those in that team were not rigid intellectuals or simple working people like the survey team, but more like the father and brother he was familiar with.Except for Li Zhiyun, the youngest son of the Li family, they were all trained from warlords to the army.

Now that Li Zhiyun is in this team, he just feels like he has fallen into an uneasy dream.

Later, the trip to Qilian Mountain did discover something, but it could not save Li Zhiyun's child.He also almost caused a catastrophe because of his inexperience.

Naturally, those people in the side quests couldn't help him, so my grandfather shouldered this responsibility.Otherwise, the fact that Li Zhiyun was engaged in side missions and the secrets of his wife's family would have to be pulled out.

But there is no impenetrable wall in the world.Someone seized this opportunity to put on shoes for Li Zhiyun, trying to kick him out of Guangxi.My grandfather was the head of that little research institute that no one cared about.He couldn't bear to see his old friend forced to be separated from his family, and his situation became more and more difficult after Qi Lianshan, so he said he was sick and couldn't continue to work, and applied to be demoted back to BJ.As soon as grandpa left, someone needed to take over the job, and Li Zhiyun took over naturally.

Unexpectedly, grandpa hid such a big secret quietly.Li Zhiyun told him the truth after the accident, but grandpa hadn't spoken to his family for decades.But in order to protect his family from being involved in this secret, he took in Li Zhiyun's grandson more than ten years ago.

Now after listening to Li Zhiyun's words, I realized that Uncle San was right.Some things just need to think carefully, so there are so many clues.

Li Zhiyun has a deep relationship with my grandfather, and once entrusted his grandson to my family.Both my uncle and my third uncle have been to Sichuan, and Li Yuan's parents have also been to Sichuan, and there may be intersections.Now it's my generation's turn to go to Egypt, but I still can't escape the entanglement with his Li family.

And Li Zhiyun insisted on telling me these things today, just to drag me into the water again.

If the "strange illness" of the Yin family is the so-called truth, then who are the "they" who know the truth?
