Chapter 55: The Peanut Law
In Xiaoran's memory, in this place in the southwest, rice is harvested in early September, followed by peanuts, and in October, sweet potatoes are dug up and wheat is planted for the next year's harvest. Now, all three crops have been harvested, but Xiao Ran already has an idea.
He remembers that when he was a child, he would often be in the peanut fields that had been harvested, looking for those fish that had slipped through the net. In almost every freshly harvested peanut field, you can find a handful of peanuts that have sneaked away.
This is what he summed up as the law of peanuts - you can never harvest peanuts in a field.
Now the Sea Buckthorn Zerg United Nations has joined the two major ant queens, if the two big ant queens start to give birth after half a month, then with the current food reserves of the Sea Buckthorn Insect United Nations, it is simply not enough to survive this winter.
According to the team building activity on the last rest day, Xiao Ran had already seen the location of the peanut field clearly when he was on a high place. When you get to the place of the persimmon tree, you can go east to the Shangxuan Empire, but to the north, it is a peanut field.
Xiao Ran once again gathers the worker ants for a new expedition. The goal of this expedition is the peanut field. Fuji Pepper is obsessed with learning marksmanship from the grandmaster, so Xiao Ran gathered 30 worker ants, 9 spear ants, 5 scout ants including Jiulixiang, plus Komori and Kudo for a total of 45 ants.
45 The ants had gathered in the Sand Thorn Heath and were coming out in the direction of the peanut field in high spirits, when the wizard suddenly limped over.
Although the wizard is running, in the eyes of the young ant, the old wizard is more like walking.
"Ahem...... Wait a minute...... Ahem......"
The wizard ran as hard as he could, shaking his tentacles and shouting.
"Ahem...... Wait a minute...... Whew~Whew~Ahem...... Whew~"
When the wizard arrived at Xiao Ran's side, he couldn't kick it anymore.
"What makes the wizard nervous?" asked Xiao Ran.
"Ahem...... The old man calculated a hexagram, and the hexagram showed that if he went out today, he would definitely gain nothing. The wizard said.
"Oh?
This god stick, the last time the sugarcane thing, because there is a rest method, forget it, what kind of famous thing is it today, Xiao Ran thought to himself.
"There is no why, that's how the hexagram is shown. The wizard said.
The wizard's answer made Xiao Ran wonder in his heart, he never believed in divination or something. Those fortune tellers on the flyover, mostly pick up some things that customers are willing to say to listen, and say some ambiguous words when they encounter problems, what is the difference between this wizard and those fortune tellers.
The wizard uses three grass seeds to make a hexagram, and Xiao Ran decides to expose the wizard's tricks, even though the wizard is a priest appointed by himself. Moreover, it is not clear whether the Shangxuan Empire has a rebellion by a wizard.
"Wizard, you say, can you use hexagrams to know something that will happen in the future?" asked Xiao Ran.
"Yes, it can be known by hexagrams. The wizard replied in the affirmative.
"Okay, if you can use the hexagram to divination, is that it, for the same thing, how many times do you divinate the hexagram, and the result is the same?" Xiao Ran asked again.
"Ahem...... Yes, the result is all the same. "Wizard Ant said.
"What is the principle of this hexagram, can the wizard do it again?" asked Xiao Ran.
After hearing this, the wizard asked the three ants to go to the anti-sperm cave and get three grass seeds. After receiving the grass seed, the wizard said, "This grass seed is one of the most common foods in the world, although it is difficult to eat. Each grass seed is divided into four directions, so three grass seeds may be combined into 64 hexagrams......"
Wait, 64 hexagrams, Xiao Ranxin vaguely feels that something is wrong......
The sorcerer continued, "The peanut field is in our northeast, and the hexagram shows the southwest and west, so if you go to the peanut field several times, you will definitely find nothing. ”
The wizard said, prostrate himself, and bit three with his mouth, and then, with all his strength, he threw it into the sky, and the three grass seeds were thrown a centimeter high.
Rushing......
Three grass seeds hit the ground.
What the!
The Southwest is exactly what the wizard said.
Xiao Ran was a little incredulous, so he said, "Can the wizard try again?"
The wizard nodded, and he prostrated himself again, took three grass seeds, and threw them into the air with all his strength.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
Before the grass seeds could hit the ground, the wizard coughed first.
Rushing.
What! or the Southwest of the West!
Not only Xiao Ran, but also the worker ants present were stunned, and Komori and Kudo were even more stunned by the same result twice.
"I ...... Shall we go again......" Komori muttered.
Could it be that this magic stick has practiced throwing grass seeds all his life? Has he practiced throwing grass seeds to such an extent? No, no, the wizard has a flaw. Three grass seeds, each grass seed has a southeast, northwest direction, and the combined number of seeds is not 64, but 16!
If you take 3 grass seeds as three balls, and each direction as 4 holes, the number of seeds calculated is indeed 64. However, in the present situation, it is obvious that this cannot be counted in this way, there are only 16 groups and ......
I'm a master's student, and I need to count this permutation and combination one by one......
After some hard calculations, Xiao Ran said to the wizard: "Wizard, your grass seed throwing technique is indeed very good, but there is a flaw. ”
As soon as Xiao Ran finished speaking, the worker ants showed even more incredible eyes.
"Ahem, ahem...... What flaw?" the wizard asked.
"Three grass seeds, each with 4 directions, combine not 64 results, but 16 seeds. Xiao Ran said.
"Ahem, ahem...... Is it...... Sixteen ...... One four gets four, two four gets three, three four gets ...... Four-four......" the wizard muttered, his eyes visibly flickering.
The ants didn't know what the wizard was doing, only what spell the wizard was chanting.
"Yes, East-East-East, East-East, East-Southeast, East-Northeast, West-West-West, West-West-East, West-South-South, South-South, South-South-South, North-North-North, North-North-East, North-North-West, North-North-South, North-North-South, There are only 16 in total!"
The worker ants were stunned when they heard Xiao Ran tell the results one by one.
"This!ahem...... How can it be...... It's 64 kinds, but am I mistaken...... If this is all wrong, then my hexagrams ......" The wizard doubted himself a little.
Therefore, your hexagrams may not all be accurate. Xiao Ran said, "Now, we have our own ant queen, if they give birth to ant eggs and hatch new ants, then the food in our sperm prevention hole may not be able to survive this winter." Therefore, this expedition is imperative. ”
"Ahem...... Am I really wrong......" The wizard is still immersed in his own world.
