My family(1)

My family tree...

I found it a little odd  about how the family trees look like, hanging people's heads on the tree... just kidding~

You will meet my grand parents first. He was a Feng Shui Master. Due to a lot of issues, he had been an accountant, doctor in the village, and many other occupations for most of his life. But being a Fengshui Master was what he was truly passionate about. In the last decade of his life, he built a reputation of his own in the field.

His business involved a lot of things you might consider as superstitious, but from what I knew about him. He was just making a knowledgeable guess. He predicted the weather way better than the weathermen, he knew the detailed history and geography of whatever we went.

He didn't have a Cristal Ball, but he had his own instruments. For example, the item on the following picture is called Luopan.

When he was a doctor, his specialty was snake-bitten wound. Our hometown--Wuyi Mountain--aka, Kingdom of Snakes. Lots of people got serious wound, losing their limbs because they didn't receive proper treatment from hospital, either the hospital was lack of serums or the patient couldn't afford it, then  they will come to find my grandpa.

The snake here is called Deinagkistrodon acutus, but people here gave it another name, "five-step snake" which means you will die within the distance of five-step if wounded by them.

Tips: if you travel to some area where might have snakes, using some sticks to clear the path ahead of you to scare the snakes away.
