Reading Pavilion 『 』, the full text is free to read.
The person in front of him stopped and looked at Zhou Heng and the others, this person was burly and dark-skinned, he was a physique trained by perennial labor, and his skin should be caused by sun exposure.
The face of the Chinese character, there are still a few wrinkles on the face, and he is about forty years old.
Looking at a hoe on his shoulder, and hearing Zhou Heng stop, the man stopped, put down the hoe and asked Zhou Heng what was the matter.
"Brother, I want to ask, is this well in your village guarded every day?"
Zhou Heng pointed to the well and asked.
The man glanced at the well.
"Why don't you look at it, this well is the only place in the village to draw water, everyone takes turns to watch it, and tomorrow it will be my turn!" replied, the man after glancing at the well.
"How many of you are watching?"
Zhou Heng continued to ask.
Zhou Heng continued to ask, the man's eyes became a little guarded, and he looked at Zhou Heng with suspicion, not understanding why he was asking such an inexplicable thing.
"Don't be nervous, brother, let's just ask!" Zhou Heng took out a silver ingot and put it in the man's hand as he spoke.
See the silver.
"There are ten families in total, two families in a group, and one group is responsible for ten days, but I don't know what's going on recently, many people in the village have suffered from the cold, so everyone has been busy with their own affairs these days and has not come to guard the well. ”
The man replied.
"Then when did this wind chill start?"
"Half a month ago! I remember it relatively clearly, because at that time several of them showed signs of wind chill and cold. The man said with a frown.
These people don't know what typhoid fever is, so they still think it's a cold and a cold.
Zhou Hengxin said that sometimes it is a kind of happiness not to know, if he knew that it was a wind cold, I am afraid that this village would have been in chaos a long time ago.
"Do you know if anything strange happened in the village before this happened, like what happened here at this well?"
Zhou Heng began to slowly induce the man to carefully recall the situation at that time.
"Nothing happened!"
The man frowned.
"What's the matter?"
The man was recalling what had happened, and a voice came from another place, shouting Lao Wang, and the man immediately turned his head, "Lao Xie, do you know what happened in our village half a month ago?"
Lao Wang asked the man who asked Lao Xie.
"Yes, have you forgotten, aren't we sacrificing to the heavens? At that time, we also invited the Taoist master of Xiayun Temple!" Lao Xie's man came over and said.
"Yes, yes, you don't say I almost forgot, but there is such a thing. ”
Lao Wang told Zhou Heng what happened carefully to them.
This worship to the heavens is the custom of their village, hoping that there will be a good wind and rain and a good harvest.
"Then which Taoist chief said that your well is the eye of feng shui in your village, where your luck lies!" Zhou Heng said guessingly.
After Zhou Heng finished speaking, Lao Wang and Lao Xie looked at Zhou Heng in shock.
"That's right, how do you know?
Lao Wang said in shock, although there were some discrepancies in what Zhou Heng said, the content was roughly the same.
"Understood, thank you!"
Zhou Heng didn't say anything more, and turned around and left with Su Ningyu and a few others.
"How are you, Lord Wang, you also know metaphysics?" Ye Xingbang asked curiously, he was eager to know how Zhou Heng saw it.
"Guess. ”
Zhou Heng said.
This is the means of bluffing, the theory of ghosts and gods, the theory of metaphysics, but in the final analysis, it is related to psychology, that is, to study people's psychology and make you believe in its existence.
The well is the only place to drink water in the whole village, and it is naturally an important existence in everyone's minds.
"Is it so accurate?"
Several people were dumbfounded, but they didn't expect Zhou Heng to be a nonsense.
"If I'm right, this matter has something to do with this cloudy view, go to several other villages and see if they have the same thing going on. ”
Zhou Heng felt that this matter had begun to become clear.
