Chapter 4: A Butterfly

The Butterfly Effect is a concept in topology that defines a phenomenon in which a very small perturbation of the initial value causes a large change in the system. The most common statement is: "A butterfly in the Amazon rainforest of South America, with a few occasional flaps of its wings, can cause a tornado in Texas, USA, two weeks later." ”

That's just a descriptive. In fact, thousands of butterflies in the Amazon River basin are waving their wings all the time, so people in Texas don't have to do anything else, they have to hide in the basement all the time.

Since Zhong Shi traveled to 1984, he has been thinking hard about the problem of time and space tunnels, but with his years of hard work, he can't explain this supernatural phenomenon at all.

The only reasonable explanation is that due to the disturbance of the magnetic field caused by lightning, a wormhole suddenly collapsed under the impact of powerful energy, which happened to suck Zhongshi's soul into it, and traveled to the past 1984.

When Zhong Shi opened his eyes, he found that he was already in the 80s of the Chinese mainland, a dim kerosene lamp was lit in the yellow mud house, the air around him was filled with a musty smell, and the only electrical appliance - the radio was emitting a familiar voice "Huaxia People's Radio ......"

"Where is this?" Zhong Shi was frightened in his heart, and was about to raise his head to take a closer look, when suddenly a heart-tearing pain came from his head, which made him weak and weak, and his body, which had just risen a little, fell heavily on the futon.

A disgusting feeling of dizziness filled his body, and Zhong Shi shook his head with all his might, barely pushing the discomfort away. Only then did he feel that his whole body was very hot, and he wanted to remove the heavy quilt on his body, but he had no strength at all. "Anyone? I'm going to drink water. He shouted it in English.

Either his attempt to get up, or the English sentence he shouted, alarmed a little yellow dog in the yard, who pricked up his head, heard the movement in the house, and then called twice to the woman who was drying corn at the door, and then rushed into the house with his tail wagging merrily.

"Huh? Awake? The woman, who was busy with the farm work, heard the barking of the little yellow dog, quickly put down the farm tools in her hand, wiped her clothes with both hands at random, and went into the kitchen in three steps and two steps.

The little yellow dog ran to the bed and squeezed coquettishly, but as soon as the beast came into contact with Zhong Shi's gaze, it immediately stopped and squatted there in a daze, and after a few seconds it began to bark wildly, barking and retreating outside.

"Dead dog, what's it called, I don't even know Xiaoshi anymore? If you quarrel again, you'll be hungry for two days! The woman who came out of the kitchen cried out discontentedly, and she was hurrying into the bedroom with a thin white porcelain bowl in her left hand and a paper bag in her right.

The little yellow dog must have understood the woman's cry, stopped his instinctive cry, fell to the ground aggrievedly, and expressed his inner uneasiness with a "whin", and when Zhong Shi on the bed looked at it, the little yellow dog immediately avoided his eyes and turned his head to the side.

"It's good to wake up, thank God, hurry up and eat this 'Analgin', sleep well, sweat all over, and get better!" The woman entered the dimly lit room, placed the bowl on the head of the bed, and reached out to test the temperature of Zhongshi's forehead, visibly relieved.

After saying that, she opened the paper bag in her hand, took out a pill the size of an adult's fingernail, handed it to Zhong Shi's mouth, and motioned for him to swallow the pill.

She spoke in a very strange dialect, but Zhong Shi could still tell it was Chinese. Ever since the woman had entered the room, he had kept his mouth shut and said no more, but carefully watched her every move. When the pill was delivered to his mouth, he obediently opened his mouth and swallowed it.

As soon as the pill was in his mouth, a sickly bitter feeling immediately came from the tip of his tongue, making Zhong Shi couldn't help but frown. "Just bear with it and swallow it!" The middle-aged woman picked up Zhong Shi and handed the white porcelain bowl to his mouth, "Quick, drink some sugar water!" The woman looked at Zhong Shi with a look of concern on her face, this kind of look Zhong Shi was very familiar, and he often saw it in the eyes of his mother, but the woman in front of him was not related to him, and Weishenme would show this look.

Holding back the doubts in his heart, Zhong Shi took a large sip of water and swallowed the pill.

The middle-aged woman was relieved to see that Zhong Shi had taken the medicine, put Zhong Shi back on the bed, and helped him tuck the quilt that had been kicked up, and then said softly:

"Get a good night's sleep, and you'll be sick tomorrow!"

After that, she wrapped the rest of the medicine, carefully put it in her arms, then picked up the white porcelain bowl, and tiptoed out, not forgetting to call the little yellow dog that was still lying on the ground and "whining" and croaking.

With a "creak", the wooden door was closed from the outside, and the dimly lit room fell into silence again.

"Where is this? Who is that woman? What did I just eat? These questions kept spinning in Zhong Shi's mind, but before he could think clearly, the power of the medicine came to his head and made him fall into a groggy sleep.

……

It's been two months since he came to this shijie, and Zhong Shi can be regarded as having a preliminary understanding of his situation, and he has actually been reincarnated in a boy with the same name. At this time, in 1984, in a small village in the north of Jiangzhong Province on the mainland of China, eight-year-old Xiao Zhongshi suddenly had a high fever one night two months ago, burning gibberish, his family was anxious, but the village hospital did not open, and could only wait until the sky was bright before sending the dying Zhongshi to the clinic, the doctor checked a little for a few minutes, and then randomly prescribed a few pairs of antipyretics, so that the family could take the child home.

The doctor knew in his heart that the little boy had been sent too late, and he had a high fever for so long, and it was estimated that his brain had been burned out, and he might become an idiot when he woke up in the future. The doctor didn't dare to tell Xiao Zhongshi's family about the result, so he sent them away with a few hasty instructions.

In this era, in this kind of medical environment, even county hospitals dozens of miles away do not dare to perform caesarean sections easily. Tragedies like Zhongshi are not uncommon in various parts of the rural areas of the mainland.

Zhong Shi's soul was attached to the poor young man's body by chance. Zhong Shi, who had a high fever before, had long lost consciousness in his mind. Zhong Shi is no longer surprised that Weishenme can enter Zhong Shi's mind, and even the matter of time travel has been encountered, what is it to be reborn as a human again!

The Zhong family is just an ordinary family, Zhong Shi's father helps people burn bricks and build houses in the countryside for a living, while Zhong's mother takes care of farm work at home, raising some chickens and ducks or something. There are many people with the surname Zhong in the whole village, so this village is called Zhongzhuang.

The previous Zhong Shi was usually a little confused and his brain was not very bright, so even when he was seven or eight years old, the Zhong couple did not let him go to school.

Zhong Zhuang is most famous for Zhong Shi's uncle's family, because his family has a college student, and he studied at Yenching University, the whole family has a high status in the village.

The only college student in the village is Zhongyi, who just returned to the village after summer vacation, and heard that his cousin Zhong Shi, who used to follow his buttocks, had a serious illness and became a little demented, and many people didn't know him. He liked this little cousin very much, so he often ran to Xiao Zhongshi's house to awaken his memory.

Who would have thought that after getting along for a long time, Zhongyi would find out that this little cousin was a genius, and he answered the questions he deliberately took the test fluently, and even the math problems that only junior high school students could solve were mastered. Not only that, but one or two sentences of English came out of his mouth from time to time, and even he, a top student at Yenching University, couldn't understand it.

Zhong Shi's explanation for these is that after the high fever, many strange fragments appeared in his mind, and even he himself did not know weishenme. Zhong Yi asked carefully, but Zuihou still found nothing, and could only think that this little cousin suddenly opened his mind and learned by himself!

This kind of explanation is naturally unreasonable, but in rural areas, there are often ghosts and gods, and it is also very reasonable to push something that cannot be explained onto ghosts and gods. Zhong Yi comforted himself in his heart, thinking that this little cousin could get away with it, and suddenly his wits were opened, and he must have been protected by the gods to become what he is today.

College students in the 80s did not believe in materialism as much as today's students. What's more, he likes to be born in the countryside, and he firmly believes in the theory of ghosts and gods.

Regarding Zhongyi's statement, Zhong Shi naturally accepted it all. For the first time since his reincarnation, he met someone who had seen through his abnormality, and he was inevitably a little uneasy in his heart, how could he have thought that this enthusiastic cousin had found a perfect excuse for himself, which simply made him overjoyed.

Before his reincarnation, Zhong Shi was a staunch materialist, although there were countless unsolved mysteries in the universe, and most of his tutors and classmates at Caltech were Christians and believed in the existence of God. But he has studied in the Chinese mainland for so long, and his mind has long been materialistic and godless, and it is difficult for him to accept the teachings preached by Christianity. But now that he is asked if there is a god in the world, Zhong Shi will definitely not deny it.

After Zhong Shi understood his situation, he was plagued by the common question of a reincarnated reborn, that is, whether he should use the innate information advantage of knowing what was going to happen in the next thirty years to his advantage.

Although his previous life was also very rich, after all, he was only one of the many people, working for companies and wealthy people to earn some commissions. Now God has given him a chance to choose again, and he no longer wants to work for others all his life.

However, the problem arises again, he is now a variable in the course of history, just like the butterfly that may cause a tornado in Texas, if this variable is too large, it will cause uncertainty in the development of history, then he will no longer have the slightest advantage in grasping the future.

After thinking about it, Zhong Shi decided to retreat into the background, pushing his cousin's love to the front of the scene, and the two brothers joined forces to build an invisible empire of wealth! After thinking about it, Zhong Shi began to teach his cousin some knowledge of the international financial market and celebrities who would become famous in the future, intentionally or unintentionally.

All this, Zhong Yi is still in the dark, unaware.
