There were three things in the box: half a piece of old peach wood, a page of incomplete genealogy, and a yellowed note. The note was written by my great-uncle himself: "The Cai family's misfortune was caused by greed, and they used evil to make money. The misfortune lasted for hundreds of years. I set up a trap to lure you into the house without any intention of harming your relatives. There is really no other way to break the cycle of death from generation to generation. The imprint on your palm is both a contract and a merit. If there are no evil spirits in the house, the imprint will never bring evil." At the end of the genealogy, next to the names of the descendants who died tragically in Cai's house from generation to generation, they are all lightly circled with cinnabar, with a side note: The souls have returned to their homeland, and there are no more ties.
