One night, the old man was sleeping soundly on the earthen bed of his dilapidated adobe house. Suddenly, the dog suddenly climbed up from the side, biting the old man's clothes with its mouth like crazy, and forced the old man from the earth.

On the kang, he dragged him out of the door, and then continued to drag him into the yard. This really made the old man anxious. He struggled to get up and was about to scold the dog loudly. At this moment, he suddenly felt like it was heaven.

The ground was shaking, it was an earthquake! Before he could react, the broken house collapsed. The old man stood in the yard in a daze. It took a long time to recover, and then he hugged the dog and howled loudly.

Many people died in that earthquake. The reason why the old man didn't die was all because of this dog.

When the leading soldiers of the army heard about this incident, they were very moved and allocated personnel and funds to build a new house for the old man.

After having this dog, the old man seemed to have more warmth and support in his lonely home. Many years passed like this, and the troops were completely eliminated from that area due to mobilization and redeployment. The old man and the dog seemed to suddenly become

A child without a mother has no choice but to fend for himself.

After a while, the old man's health deteriorated rapidly, and finally he was so serious that he could not get out of bed. Except for the dog who often brought him food, almost no one cared about him. Soon after, the old man died miserably. At the last moment of his life,

There was no one around him except the dog.

The old man had a distant nephew who was a well-known ruffian in the village. He was greedy, lazy, mercenary, deceived and deceived, etc. He was full of five evils. He had been thinking about this dog for a long time. When the old man died, he secretly used the Internet with a few of his friends.

Catch the dog and chain it to your home.

From then on, this dog was like crazy, and it would bite anyone who came close to it. The reason why the old man's distant nephew kept this dog was because of his little Jiujiu. He gave this dog

After taking some medicine, I knocked it out, and then found a male dog to mate with it. As a result, the dog soon had puppies, eight in a litter.

The nephew of the old man, under the guise of "refined military dog ​​breeds", sold these puppies at a very good price. He was also very proud of his plan, thinking that as long as the dog gave birth to a few more litters, it would be better.

It would bring him a lot of profits. But what he didn't expect was that after the dog was forced to give birth to its first litter, it went on a hunger strike. It didn't eat or drink, even the delicious food specially prepared for it.

He didn't even take a second look at the meat. Within a few days, the dog starved itself to death. The old people in the village said that they had never seen a dog die from hunger strike in such a long life.

I have never seen such a dignified dog.

The nephew of the old man even spared the last valuable thing on the dog - the dog's fur. The dog was big and the fur was very smooth, so the dog skin should be sold at a good price. In order to ensure the quality of the dog skin,

, specially hired the experienced butcher Zhang to handle the operation.

But the matter did not end there. A few years later, the old man's nephew once went to the county to do business. Suddenly, a large dog swooped up and bit his throat in one fell swoop. The guy was lying on the ground in pain.

After struggling for a while, he finally breathed his last.

It was later discovered that the dog that bit him to death was one of the eight puppies born to that dog.

The problem is, these eight puppies were given away for feeding not long after they were born. How could they remember their mother’s “enemies”? How could they remember their mother’s experiences?

There may be only one answer - the bitch's memory was passed on to her children.

Can memory also be inherited?

The best person to answer this kind of question is of course Yang Hui. After I sent him this question, as usual, he responded quickly to the email, and just like in the past emails, his answer was still "Guang Zheng Bo Yin"

, well-founded, and I gained a lot of knowledge after reading it.

Yang Hui said that in a sense, human memory is of course heritable. For example, almost every one of us has nightmares like this - being chased by something, or falling from a height; why do we do this?

What about nightmares with such similar content?

This is because in the early days of humankind, our ancestors often encountered these situations in their living environment - being chased by wild beasts, or falling from trees.

This experience is deeply implanted in the minds of our ancestors and is passed down from generation to generation through genes. Therefore, although most of us have never personally experienced being chased or falling from a height,

This horrific and fatal experience of our ancestors will be passed on to us through genes. And in dreams, this memory will reappear.

There is another way of transmitting memories between relatives, which is through telepathy. There was such a case in the United States:

There was a boy whose father died young and had always been dependent on his mother. Therefore, the relationship between the two of them was very deep. Later, when the boy grew up, he went to serve in the army. Although he was thousands of miles away, his mother missed him very much at home.

One night, the mother had such a dream - she dreamed that her son was camping by a woods. When he slept until midnight, it was windy and rainy outside the tent, and the wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier.

Suddenly, a big tree next to her son's tent was slowly toppling in the violent storm, and the direction it fell happened to be the tent where her son lived. Seeing that it was about to hit her son's tent, she yelled in panic and woke up.

When I came over, I realized that it was just a dream, so I slowly calmed down.

She thought about it and dreamed about it every day. She felt that the reason why she had such a dream was because she missed her son too much. So she didn't pay much attention to this dream.

A few days later, a letter came from my son, telling him an extraordinary experience.

The letter said that one night, he was camping in a tent by the woods. It was very windy and rainy outside. While he was sleeping, he suddenly seemed to hear his mother calling him outside the tent. He got up and ran out without hesitation.

, the moment he ran out, a big tree next to him fell down and hit his tent!

The mother was surprised to find that the date of the incident mentioned in her son's letter actually coincided with the date of her dream! Such interesting psychological reactions sometimes occur in the memories between relatives.

Combining Butcher Zhang’s experience with Brother Yang Hui’s email, I guessed that the special memory scene that broke out in me at that “special moment” was probably the personal experience of one of my ancestors, passed down to me through genes.

In addition, didn’t Butcher Zhang’s family have recurring nightmares with the same content? Those were the most painful memories of Grandpa Butcher Zhang, and they were passed down from generation to generation through dreams.

But mine is very different from Zhang Tuhu’s - he has the same nightmare almost every day, but for me, when that strange, same scene appears in my mind, it’s not in a dream.

But it was at the climax of the affair in public.

If this strange memory is the personal experience of one of my ancestors, then it is very likely that my grandfather, father, or uncle will have similar memories. Except that my grandfather has passed away, there is no way to obtain relevant information from him.

In addition, because this special memory involves "sex" and "infidelity", it is not easy to directly ask elders such as father and uncle. I can only rely on my own research and discussion.

In fact, "infidelity" is very common in rural areas. Which village does not have a few romantic affairs? Some anthropologists, after carefully studying the marriage and love traditions in China's agricultural society, believe that many of these practices seem "feudal"

" and "conservative" are actually very consistent with modern science. For example, why don't we advocate free love instead of "parents knowing fate and matchmaker's words"?

This is because in an agricultural society, people’s living circles are very small, and the people of the opposite sex that a person has the most contact with are often related to them by blood. Therefore, if free love is allowed, it will often lead to a large number of close relatives getting married.

It is very detrimental to human development, and marriage introduced by a matchmaker and approved by parents can avoid this "inbreeding" to a large extent.

Many human behaviors seem to be taken for granted, but if you look closely, you will find that these behaviors are of extraordinary significance from the perspective of species continuation.

For example, since humans are carnivores, why don’t they eat human flesh? In fact, there is no substantial difference between human flesh and other meats commonly eaten by humans. This is because if humans eat human flesh, many deadly human pathogens will be

It spread quickly and led to the demise of mankind. In the history of biology, there have been many creatures that cannibalize similar species, but they all quickly became extinct.

For another example, why are humans more afraid of strangers? Because in the early days of human society, outsiders who were not part of the tribe often carried many germs, leading to the spread of diseases.

Therefore, the fact that human beings have been able to exist and develop for so long without becoming extinct is due to their own survival wisdom and unique mechanisms. As for stories about affair, I have heard some stories intentionally or unintentionally, but about this kind of thing about the older generation, I usually

Annihilated in the long river of time, gradually unknown to future generations.

If you want to know if your ancestors have a history of having affairs, of course you can only ask the older people in the village. But if I ask about my ancestors in person, it is still inconvenient after all. After thinking about it, I think it can be done.

Butcher Zhang, help me find out.

During the Chinese New Year, Butcher Zhang slaughters pigs and sheep for almost every household, so he is probably the most well-known person in the village. Based on his familiarity with the villagers, I think he is helping me investigate this kind of thing.

The best candidate. Butcher Zhang readily agreed to my request.

One night a few days later, he came to me excitedly and said that the thing I asked him to do had come to fruition. I was a little excited after hearing this, so I quickly let him into the room, made tea, and lit a cigarette.

Then he couldn't wait to ask him about the details he learned.

The three old men he asked were all the oldest in our village, but they were still relatively clear-headed. Of course, Butcher Zhang did not ask directly. He strategically made up lies. He heard a Feng Shui master say that there was something wrong with the Feng Shui in our village.
