Chapter 32: The Razor
The mountain road was rugged and winding, the midday sun was blazing hot, we rested for a while and then continued on the road, I don't know why everyone didn't talk anymore, maybe because the boring journey had exhausted everyone's patience, or maybe it was afraid that the sudden words would detonate the irritability, anyway, everyone didn't speak again, just walked quietly. Sun Hao and Zhang Hui were still opening the way in front, the two of them walked silently with their heads down, followed by Zhou Ying and Wang Huan, Wang Huan looked impatient, as if he had reached the verge of an outbreak, Zhou Ying was better, he was frowning and didn't know what he was thinking, and let out a light sigh from time to time. Feng Xiaolu followed quietly, looking left and right from time to time, sometimes with her feet cocked to look forward, and sometimes at me, she seemed to have something to say, but she never said it. Luxue still walked behind me, with a smile that remained the same, as if the difficult mountain trail was not torture for her.
I looked back at her and noticed that for some reason she was wearing a pair of high heels today, which were a pair of sky blue high heels, the heel was not very high, with a beautiful butterfly flower ornament in front, walking lightly on the mountain road, like a butterfly fluttering gently.
Ruxue seemed to notice that I was looking at her, tilting her head sideways and smiling at me.
"Does your foot hurt?" I frowned, groaned, and asked her a question.
Lu Xue shook her head gently and winked at me playfully, as if to say, thank you, Brother Xiaoshan.
"If your feet hurt, take off your shoes and I'll carry you." I continued.
Ruxue shook her head lightly again.
I turned my head, only to find that everyone had suddenly stopped and looked at me strangely.
"Hey, Xiaoshan, are you soaking my sister?" Sun Hao asked in a serious tone.
Everyone nodded imperceptibly and looked at me meaningfully.
"What are you talking about?" I asked, puzzled.
"Say it quickly, say it quickly, Xiaoshan, do you want to chase Xiaoluxue?" Feng Xiaolu was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, so she coaxed.
"Cut." I don't know why Wang Huan snorted disdainfully.
"What are you talking about?" I looked back at Lu Xue, she didn't seem to be embarrassed by everyone's words, she still smiled and looked sideways, "Lu Xue is wearing high heels, so walking on the mountain road will hurt her feet, and at the same time it will affect the speed of going up the mountain, and then affect everyone's mood, and finally may completely spoil everyone's interest in traveling, the best way is for someone to carry her, originally Sun Hao carried her is the best, but Sun Hao wants to lead the way in front, plus his own weight will seriously affect our speed if he is weighted, That will worsen everyone's mood now, as for Zhang Hui, there is no need to think about it at all, if Feng Xiaolu gets angry, then our tour can basically end here, so the most suitable person here is me, I am at the end, I don't have to think about the road ahead, although my own weight has increased, I can still keep up with everyone's speed in the subconscious. I explained solemnly.
Sun Hao gasped a few times, glared at me angrily, turned around, and dropped a sentence with resentment, "It's just a turn away, and it's only ten minutes away, so you don't have to carry it." Then he walked forward quickly.
"Cut." Wang Huan continued to snort, dropped a look that I knew, and walked forward.
Zhou Ying sighed lightly, looked at Lu Xue with pity, and turned around.
Feng Xiaolu ran to me, patted me on the shoulder, and whispered, "Can't you have a little courage?" After that, he quickly ran back to Zhang Hui's side and whispered, "Husband, Xiaoshan is good at making excuses." ”
Excuse? I shook my head helplessly, and turned to look back at Lu Xue, who was still smiling at me, as if she was not embarrassed by everyone's doubts, as if she already knew what I thought.
Luxue, courage?
"That's not an excuse," I turned around to see Zhang Hui shrug his shoulders and say to Feng Xiaolu, "That's normal for Xiaoshan, what's it called, yes, the butterfly effect." ”
"The butterfly effect?"
"Well, I mean that small changes at the beginning can have a huge ripple effect in the long run."
"The butterfly effect, well, by the way, Xiaoshan, let me ask you, doesn't the butterfly effect explain the problem of the immortals?" Feng Xiaolu turned her head sharply and asked me again.
I frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "No." ”
"Why?" Feng Xiaolu asked curiously.
Zhang Hui shrugged his shoulders and ignored us, quickly following the group.
I didn't answer Feng Xiaolu, and I quickly approached everyone, and sure enough, as Sun Hao said, after turning a corner, I saw an old Taoist temple.
"Why? Say it quickly, Xiaoshan, isn't there a song that says so, a horseshoe is lost if a nail is missing, a horse is broken when a horse is broken, a general is injured when a horse is broken, a general is lost if a general is injured, and a country is lost after a battle is lost. Could the gods also be born because of some small changes? ”
I Yaoyao headed, "No, the butterfly effect is about a butterfly flapping its wings, which can cause a storm." It's very similar to the story of the nails you said, but they must be in a specific effective environment to be generated, if it is in an enclosed space, no matter how much the butterfly flapps its wings, it is impossible to produce a storm, and similarly, if an iron nail can guide the victory of a war, then it is good to buy the groom, and there is no need to fight again. ”
"It seems to make some sense, but I still don't understand?"
"You only pay attention to the butterfly itself, but ignore the external environment that forms the storm, even if there is no butterfly, the external environmental factors will form a storm after accumulating to a certain extent, in the same way, even if you lose an iron nail and injure a general, it is impossible to lose a battle, and the soldiers will not go to rescue their generals? Won't you continue to fight for your own sake? In many cases, the development of events has already been doomed, and things are developing in a similar but not the same, but the gods you are talking about do not have a favorable external environment, so they cannot exist. ”
I caught up with everyone while explaining to Feng Xiaolu, Sun Hao was already standing in front of the Taoist temple, talking and laughing with a Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe and holding his hair in a bun.
"Oh." Feng Xiaolu nodded as if she didn't understand after listening to my explanation.
"No, Xiaoshan, what did you see on the mountain road?" Feng Xiaolu suddenly seemed to think of something again, and asked again.
"Maybe it's not as complicated as you think, and while we don't know exactly what the man is about, it can be explained by Occam's razor theory, which says don't add entities if you don't have to, which means that if you have two principles that explain the observed facts, then you should use the simple one until more evidence is found. So I'd rather be a handicapped or circus. ”
"Cut," Wang Huan listened to my explanation and continued to snort disdainfully.
"What are they talking about?" The Taoist priest seemed to be very familiar with Sun Hao, and when he saw our dispute, he asked Sun Hao a question.
Sun Hao looked back at us, and embarrassedly explained to the Taoist priest the strange things we saw on the mountain road.
The Taoist priest was very happy after hearing this, and said to himself, "Oh, it seems that Brother Huang is finally out of the customs." ”
We abruptly halted our movements and looked directly at the priest. The mood that was originally cheerful because he had reached the end fell into a shock again in the Taoist priest's self-talk.
