Chapter 18: The Child's Life

The four of us were busy in the kitchen, and the four of us were still sitting silently in the living room. Instead of the sound of stir-frying and the laughter of the women in the kitchen, the four of us in the living room looked at each other as if we were speechless. Sun Hao frowned and didn't know what he was thinking, his expression was very depressed, Zhang Hui had a tangled and helpless expression, shaking his head and sighing from time to time, Xiao Shuai was sitting quietly with his eyes closed, but his hand clenched his fist from time to time, loosened, and clenched, with a look of apprehension, loss, and guilt. I glanced at them, did not speak, and then turned my head back to the kitchen, where the smell of food and the occasional laughter of women wafted out.

After a while, Feng Xiaolu came out with the dishes and saw the strange atmosphere in the living room, and asked suspiciously, "You guys, what's wrong?" ”

"It's nothing, I'm thinking about how you look in your wedding dress." Sun Hao hurriedly shrugged his shoulders and replied.

"You want to see, I have pictures here." Feng Xiaolu put down the dish and said with some excitement.

"I mean, I want to see you in your wedding dress at home." Zhang Hui raised his eyebrows and said with a smile. There was a lewdness in his expression.

"At home? Che, what are you thinking? Ignore you. Feng Xiaolu complained shyly, turned around and went back to the kitchen.

After Xiaolu left, all three of them breathed a sigh of relief. They glanced at each other, and they both let out a chuckle and a slight sigh.

After a while, the table was already full of dishes, and Feng Xiaolu seemed to be angry and sat next to Zhang Hui and glared at him dissatisfied. Zhou Ying and Guan Ling behaved very strangely, the relationship between the two should be very awkward, but they were whispering something, laughing from time to time. Maybe they are laughing on the surface, but in fact, they have long hated each other in their hearts. I thought.

"Alright, it's time for dinner." Lu Xue took off her apron, took out her mobile phone and looked at it, and said with a smile, "Let's eat first, there are still ten minutes to steam the fish." ”

"That's Hill's phone? How could it be there for you? Sun Hao asked sideways.

"My phone is broken, so I'll use Brother Xiaoshan's first."

"Xiaoshan also has to use it, if you have time and friends to buy one, my brother will pay for you." Sun Hao said again.

I looked at the phone in her hand, then at Luxue, who was still smiling, and suddenly, I heard myself say. "It's okay, I basically don't need it, so Lu Xue will use it first."

"You're so embarrassed, just let my sister use what you should have eliminated two years ago, you're not ashamed, I'm ashamed." Sun Hao was dissatisfied. "Sister, listen to my brother, I went to buy one with your classmates that day."

"Besides, they're busy." Luxue whispered.

"Luxue, why don't you live in the dormitory? In this way, the relationship with your classmates will be estranged. Feng Xiaolu asked puzzled.

"Ah, this, I don't like the small space in the dormitory and the food in the cafeteria, I still like to make my own." Lu Xue's words flickered a little, revealing a faint embarrassment.

"I didn't like to live in the dormitory when I was in school, that, Lu Xue, I'll accompany you to buy one tomorrow, although I don't know how to do business as your little brother Shan, but I still have a taste for seeing things." Guan Ling said suddenly.

Lu Xue thought about it, smiled and nodded, "Okay, then trouble Sister Guan Ling." ”

"It's not troublesome, I've always wanted a well-behaved and cute sister like you." Guan Ling said with a smile, looking at Lu Xue gently, and then at Xiao Shuai gently.

After the last dish was served, Lu Xue sat down next to me, picked up the wine and poured it for everyone. Sun Hao raised his glass and said, "Today's party is finally full of people, come, everyone have a drink." ”

Xiao Shuai picked up the cup, thought about it, and put it down.

"Xiaoshuai, drink it, I'll drive when I go back." Guan Ling said with a smile.

Xiao Shuai nodded and touched our glasses, and then all four of us drained the glasses.

"Come on, we'll do one too." Feng Xiaolu Feng Xiaolu raised the juice and rushed to Zhou Ying and Lu Xuedao, and slightly signaled to Guan Ling.

Xiao Shuai frowned, picked up the wine and poured it again, maybe he was thinking about something, when he poured the wine, he inadvertently let the wine overflow and spill it on the talisman bag that Guan Ling put on the table.

Guan Ling hurriedly picked up the talisman bag and wiped it carefully. "This, will this still be effective if it is wet?" She asked me in a whisper.

"It shouldn't work, or you can give it to Xiaoshan." Sun Hao said with a wicked smile.

"Why did you give it to Xiaoshan?" Guan Ling asked suspiciously.

Sun Hao shrugged, "I think Xiaoshan should have a way to prove that it is still valuable, and sell it to you at double the price." ”

Guan Ling looked at Sun Hao and looked at me strangely.

I thought about it for a moment and nodded earnestly.

Everyone burst into laughter.

"Xiaoshan, you also believe that the spell works?" After the effect, Zhou Ying asked in surprise, her eyes seemed to light up suddenly.

"I don't believe it, but I can sell it to those who believe." I replied.

"Why doesn't Brother Xiaoshan believe it?" Lu Xue asked with a smile.

"To believe that the spell works, you must believe in supernatural events, and the starting point of all this is the soul, the soul I said does not exist, and since the beginning does not exist, the end becomes meaningless."

"Brother Xiaoshan proves that the soul does not exist? How is it proven? Lu Xue asked puzzled.

"It's not proof, it's logical reasoning. As I told them before, the role of the soul is to transmit memories, and it is an intangible and insubstantial thing, so how to transmit data? And it has to be formatted after being received, which is completely unnecessary. ”

Lu Xue thought about it seriously, shook her head and said, "If this inference is not valid, it cannot be deduced that the soul does not exist. ”

"Xiaoshan is wrong, and Xiaoshan is also wrong." Feng Xiaolu pretended to be surprised and exclaimed.

"There's something wrong there?" I asked, frowning.

"What does it mean to be physically four-dimensional?" Lu Xue asked rhetorically.

"Four-dimensional space? You mean the place where Hill frequents? Feng Xiaolu looked at me teasing and said.

"I don't know," I replied, "it's just a way for me to block out external stimuli and think better." ”

"Does the four dimensions mean length, width, height, plus time?" Zhou Ying said.

"That's a four-dimensional space-time, not a physical four-dimensional."

"Is it length, temperature, quantity and time?" Guan Ling said with a smile.

I nodded.

"Are there so many four-dimensions?" Feng Xiaolu asked puzzled.

"Yes," I nodded and said, "mathematically four-dimensional means that there are four cardinal directions in a vector, for example, a line segment is represented by an x-axis, a plane must be represented by x, y, and a three-dimensional is x, y, z, and then the four-dimensional should also add an axis to represent the fourth cardinal direction, which is mathematical." The world we live in cannot be called a four-dimensional space, but a three-dimensional space-time, because our space is mathematically three-dimensional, and at the same time there is a time axis, that is to say, there are three axes that mathematically represent the basic direction plus a timeline to form a four-dimensional space-time. It's a four-dimensional space-time, not a four-dimensional space. ”

"It's too winding, you better talk about the soul." Feng Xiaolu shook her head, looking confused.

"Physically four dimensions refers to length, temperature, quantity, and time." I continued, "Length includes length, width, height, and volume, temperature includes heat, electrical energy, resistivity, quantity includes mass, number, number of times, etc., and time includes specific heat capacity, speed, and power. I asked, then to Luxue, "But what does this have to do with the soul?" ”

"Although the soul is only a legend, in the legend, does it have a form? Is there a temperature? What is it that makes it all in? If none of this is the case, how can it be deduced that it must take time? Luxue said with a smile.

I frowned and thought hard.

"What are they talking about?" Feng Xiaolu asked Zhang Hui, who was also thinking seriously, suspiciously.

"Time doesn't exist." Zhang Hui and I said in unison.

"Time doesn't exist?"

Luxue nodded.

"Yes, time does not exist, and if souls really exist, then one of the grounds for their existence is most likely that time does not exist, and time does not exist for them." I said.

"I don't understand." Feng Xiaolu seemed to be in a state of confusion.

"What is the representation of time? Causes, processes and effects. If time does not exist for souls, then it explains their data transmission problems, that is, they can exist in causes, processes, and effects at the same time, because time has no meaning to them. I said.

"I'm confused, that is, Luxue is right, you are wrong."

"No, I'm not wrong."

"Hey, Xiaoshan will also pay the bill." Feng Xiaolu said with a smile.

"No, we're all right, I'm reasoning from reality that the impossible end ends, and Lu Xue is starting from the conclusion to create an uncertain passage."

"Let's get to the point." Feng Xiaolu said dissatisfied.

I shrugged my shoulders and "the conclusion is that it cannot be said that the soul does not exist, but that it cannot be proved that it does not exist." ”

Feng Xiaolu frowned and thought for a moment, "Aren't they all the same?" ”

"It's different." Zhang Hui said.

"It's different." Zhou Ying also said.

Sun Hao raised his glass to everyone and said, "Whether you believe it or not, anyway, I believe that souls exist." He drank it in one gulp, and then poured it again.

"I'm a child, do you know anything about a child's life?" He seemed to be asking everyone, and he was asking himself.

"The life of a child is a child in heaven, and he was punished to the mortal world because of his mistakes." Zhou Ying said softly.

"The life of a child is not smooth, and there is bad luck. This world is only a place where I atone for my sins, and I am nothing but a prisoner condemned by God, a prisoner who has been restricted. Sun Hao shook his head with a wry smile, drank the wine, and poured it for himself, looking indescribably lonely.
