Chapter 267: Leave a mark
In order to determine whether the vague scene he saw in front of him was real, Fei Gongfu strode to the end of the mine road, and with a torch, there was indeed no road ahead, and there was no new turn next to it.
I was fooled, the arrow made of iron ore on the ground before was fake, and someone was suspicious.
I went out to hand over the iron ore before myself, and when I passed by there, there was no arrow made of the iron ore, but after I came back this time, I had it, and it was determined that someone deliberately placed it.
And during this time, the only people who have been in contact with him are those two strange people, so this arrow should be arranged by those two people.
Why lure yourself here?
Fei Gongfu shouted "Oh no", and then immediately returned the same way, running quickly, he was misled by them once, and it was even more difficult to find them.
On the other side, Xiahou followed Erdong, and now since they entered this fork in the road, they had walked another 500 steps, and now it was time for Erdong to pay his reward.
But this time Erdong hesitated, and it became not very refreshing to pay for things, what he could give now, Xiahou couldn't look at it, and Xiahou liked it, Erdong was reluctant to give, so the scene was a bit deadlocked.
Here is only 500 steps away from the main mine outside the small mine, Erdong feels unsafe, this mine has the function of gathering sound, the sound can spread far away, Erdong was shouted by Xiahou when he started his hand, and the people who were a little farther away heard it.
Although even so, he was still able to kill Xia Hou before anyone came, but being called out by Xia Hou was not conducive to clearing his suspicion.
So he was thinking about what was a little less important and could be kept by Xiahou for the time being.
Seeing that Erdong was looking at his precious things, he was reluctant to give up on them, and he couldn't decide what to give himself, Xiahou was not in a hurry anyway, and he could wait for a long time, so he used his life skills that came with his miner deputy - prospecting.
After using the prospecting operation, Xia Hou saw a small map in his field of vision, and the small map showed the ore points within ten meters of his center, and there were more than a dozen bright spots in a sparse manner.
Xiahou took a look, found a mine that happened to be on the mining road, walked there and began to dig.
After Xiahou finished digging the iron ore at this mine, Erdong also selected the least important of the last treasures for him, and walked over to Xiahou, he still decided to go in another five hundred steps to see the situation.
Taking the things handed over by Erdong, Xiahou took down the bamboo basket behind him, put it in front of Erdong and said, "Second Senior Brother, do you still want iron ore?" This time I dug a few more pieces than last time, or sold to you at the old price, how about it? ”
"No need." It turned out that the iron ore used to form an arrow that had just let Fei Gongfu be fooled into entering the wrong fork in the road was the iron ore that Erdong bought from Xia Hou with a bottle of high-grade gold sore medicine.
Seeing that a few broken stones could be exchanged for high-grade gold sore medicine from Erdong, Xiahou took advantage of this break to dig some more, ready to exchange with Erdong.
Seeing that Erdong refused this time, Xia Hou said: "Second Senior Brother, if there is a fork in the road in front of you, and you don't have iron ore in your hand, how can you leave a mark on the ground, let's buy it first." If I don't buy it now, the next time I hit a fork in the road, I'll have to increase the price. ”
A few pieces of broken iron ore will be exchanged for a bottle of high-grade gold sore medicine, and the price you want is really black, Er Dong didn't want to think about it, and refused again: "I don't want it." ”
Although he refused so simply in his mouth, but the actual action betrayed him, he thought that what Xiahou said was also reasonable, after Xiahou left, he dug a few times in the place where Xiahou had dug, but only found stones, not a single piece of iron ore.
I didn't have time to waste here, so I dug twice casually, and saw that I couldn't dig iron ore, so I had to carry my hoe and rush to the depths of the mine.
This time, I walked more than 400 steps in a twist and turn, and I ran into a fork in the road again, this time there was no main mine road and branch road, and there were two branch roads of about the same size in front of me, leading to the same direction.
"Second senior brother, it's a fork in the road again, do you want to buy iron ore? This time, the price has been raised, two bottles of high-grade gold sore medicine or something of the same level. Xiahou looked at the two branch mines and said.
Fortunately, the high-grade gold sore medicine also saved two bottles, and this thing was given to Xiahou as a travel fee, and he didn't want it, so now he had to use it to exchange for iron ore, so Erdong threw the high-grade gold sore medicine to Xiahou and said, "Give it." ”
Taking the iron ore that Xiahou gave him, Erdong bent down, placed an arrow on the ground at the entrance of one of the branch mines, and then got up and threw a treasure to Xiahou, which had been thought of before, and the order of giving was decided at that time.
Following Erdong into the marked mine, Xia Hou asked curiously: "Since you have already marked this tunnel, why do we still choose this one instead of the unmarked one?" ”
In order for someone to see his wisdom, Erdong said a little proudly: "Senior brother has already been fooled once, if he follows into this mine and sees the same mark on the ground, he will definitely not let himself turn over the same mistake, so he will take the unmarked mine road." ”
"If the elder brother really came in through this mine, wouldn't it be better if you didn't mark it, he might think that he had gone wrong, and maybe he would have turned back. If you think about it, you left a mark, indicating that someone has come, then there are only two paths ahead, and there is a one-in-half probability that he will choose right or wrong. If you don't mark it, he thinks that he may be following the wrong way, then he has three paths to choose from, and even if the probability of not having one path is equal, he will only choose a third of the way. In fact, this is not the case, he has to judge whether he is going right or wrong, then the probability of choosing to move forward is one in two, and then choose one of the two paths, and the right one is one in two. All in all, if you don't leave a mark, the probability that the senior brother will choose the right path is only a quarter in theory, which is much lower than the probability that you are choosing one of the two with a mark. In order to put a little pressure on Erdong, hit his confidence, and let him know the fact that he had done one thing wrong, Xiahou said nonsense casually.
"You're right, but you don't know the senior brother, if he really follows up on this fork in the road, he won't give up if he doesn't follow him to the end. Because he knew that he might be chasing the wrong way if he continued to chase and wouldn't be able to catch up, but if he returned, he would never be able to catch up. So when he sees another fork in the road, he will not hesitate to chase it down and hit the wall all the way, otherwise he will not turn back. If I didn't leave a marker, then the probability that he might be selected is 1 in 2, and now that I left the same mark as last time, then the probability that he will go through another mine is 99%, because he will never let himself be deceived twice by the same method. Erdong said confidently, he was now very proud of his arrangement.
