Chapter 2 Getting Lost at Home
Before Hu Kehao went to U City University of Technology to report for work, he wanted to go home to have a look. When you go home and look at it, these words seem simple, but they actually make people feel complicated. Do you want to return home? Or is it a white eye? Folks always like to ask, "Where do you work?" "How much is your current salary a month?" These questions are annoying.
The countryside has already undergone tremendous changes. Once upon a time, people were hungry for land. After getting the land, people toiled on the land. Later, people slowly went out to work, and there were fewer and fewer people on the land. Today, there are more and more buildings in the village, but the popularity is getting lower and lower, and people have gradually fled the land they once loved.
I took the train back to S County from U University, and took an hour's bus from the long-distance bus station in S County to pass a country road in my hometown of Baishi Township. The windows were open, the breeze was blowing through his face, and the barmao and dogtail grass on the side of the road were rippling in the wind, making a rustling sound, and Hu Kehao smelled a smell of home. Hu Kehao got out of the car at a fork in the road, and it was already unitary time, and the road gradually became blurred. As long as you pass through a hill in front of you and walk through a sheep's intestine trail, you can return to your hometown - Huaishu Village.
The name of this hill is Zombie Gang, and it has always been a nightmare in Hu Kehao's heart when he was a child. When I was a child, I had to pass through this hill to go to a rural primary school. At that time, he had to get up at six o'clock in the morning, and after breakfast at seven o'clock, as soon as the sky was bright, Hu Kehao and his fellow villagers had to go to school together through the deadlock. At that time, there were many children in the village, and when they went to school, there were a large number of people who were bold, and they were not afraid of this stalemate. Later, there were fewer and fewer children in the village, fewer and fewer people went to school through the gang, and the roads in the gang gradually became desolate. The old people in the village gradually died, and the graves in the deadlock gradually increased. More and more people went out to work, the graves were not repaired, and the weeds on the graves grew wildly. In the summer, the vegetation is vigorous, and weeds such as thorns, barleys, and dogtails grow wildly, and the roads are gradually flooded.
No more than when he was a child, Hu Kehao is now very bold. Why did he become bolder? Because he has a heroic righteousness in his heart. In fact, it is not a heroic righteousness, but a masculinity brought by scientific truth. In his mind, all phenomena of nature can be explained by the basic principles of physics, so what are the ghosts and ghosts? For him, this stalemate is nothing more than a little dim light, he has a flashlight on him, and he is not afraid of anything. When he was a child, he never dared to pass through this hill, but now he is not afraid, he has the weapon of physics, he has scientific truth, he is not afraid of anything.
As he walked, Hu Kehao saw a person in front of him, his heart tightened, and he immediately emboldened himself, and silently meditated on the basic principles and laws of physics. Many supernatural phenomena in nature turned out to be optical phenomena and electromagnetic phenomena, and he had nothing to fear. He shone his flashlight at the man, but the man didn't respond. Hu Kehao looked closely, and the flashlight stopped moving forward after encountering this person, which fully showed that the person in front of him was a real thing, not a ghost. Because the Yin Spirit is not a physical object, it cannot stop the light from moving forward. Hu Kehao stepped up to chase after this man. When he was four or five meters away from this person, Hu Kehao recognized this person as Li Tianbang from the village. In Huaishu Village, those who are careless, not very serious, idle, and a little scoundrel are called heavenly sticks.
"Uncle Li, wait for me, you didn't go back so late?" Hu Kehao stopped Li Tianbang and said hello. Li Tianbang is a generation older than Hu Kehao, and he can't call him Li Tianbang in person, although he knows that people behind him call him that.
"I came back from eating and drinking at someone's house. It's been a long time since I saw you, kid, and you still recognize me? Li Tianbang said.
"Uncle Li is famous far and wide, who doesn't know him?" Hu Kehao said.
"You kid is indirectly scolding me for being a well-known drunkard and a gambler!" Li Tianbang said.
"How dare you?"
"I've graduated from college, I'm going to make a lot of money!" Li Tianbang said. Hu Kehao didn't know how to answer, and gave him a hip-hop.
Li Tianbang walked in front, and Hu Kehao followed behind. They passed by piles of grave bags, couldn't help but look around, saw the cypress trees around the grave bags shaking, Hu Kehao shone it with a flashlight, found two red balls moving, and screamed in shock. The two red balls were also frightened and ran away, and it turned out to be a hare. He breathed a sigh of relief and continued to follow. He wanted to call Li Tianbang, but he couldn't make a sound in his throat. Hu Kehao saw two trees appear in front of him, and his heart was full of joy. He knew these two trees, and after walking through them, he was about to get out of the deadlock. It seems that the night of the deadlock is not terrible, and the evil spirits do not dare to come out and make trouble. The two trees looked very close, but they walked for half an hour before they came to them. Hu Kehao carefully observed the two trees and felt that something was wrong, and nine more trees appeared in front of him. The normal situation is to pass through these two trees and get out of the deadlock, and it is impossible to have nine more trees. The situation is completely wrong! Hu Kehao felt that they were lost, this was no longer the usual way home! He wanted to call Li Tianbang again, but his throat was tight, and he still couldn't speak.
All phenomena can be explained by physics, Hu Kehao comforted himself. He remembered the principles that the physics professor had taught them, how to explain the phenomena in front of him? Hu Kehao knew they had arrived in a place they had never been. Fuck it, he followed Li Tianbang and continued to walk forward, and after a while, four more trees appeared in front of him. Hu Kehao looked ahead, and the front was barren, overgrown with weeds, and there was no road at all. Li Tianbang turned to the right again, and there were three more trees in front of him, and he continued to walk forward, and there were eight more trees in front of him. In front of the eight trees is still a barren land with no roads. Li Tianbang turned to the right again, and a tree appeared in front of him. Hu Kehao followed, his consciousness gradually blurred. Seeing this tree, Hu Kehao was overjoyed: "Haha, there is only one tree left, it seems that I may have to get out of this magic array!" After a few minutes, six more trees appeared in front of them, and in front of them were a barren and thorny land. Li Tianbang walked to the right again, and seven trees appeared in front of him. Looking further ahead, there are two more trees in front of you, oh my! After walking around, they are back to where they are! "Did we encounter a ghost hitting the wall?" Hu Kehao thought to himself. There are two trees in front of you, five trees on the right, and you go back to the same place, and you don't know where you go to the right. Hu Kehao bit his finger and smeared the blood on his body, but he still didn't get out of the maze. It seems that this is not your average ghost hitting the wall, he has a problem.
Hu Kehao had to believe that he really encountered a ghost hitting the wall, commonly known as a "reverse ghost". Today's this is an upgraded version of the ghost wall, which has been integrated into the Nine Palaces maze. The trees he met on the road were: 2, 9, 4, 7, 5, 3, 6, 1, 8. Vertically, it is 2, 7, 6, 9, 5, 1, 4, 3, 8. The sum of the horizontal, vertical, and diagonal numbers of such numbers is 15, so this magical maze has magical energy, and conventional methods cannot be cracked. The Nine Palaces Maze is very famous in history, and this set of magical numbers appeared on the "Vena Book". The reason why the Vena number diagram is famous is that it is the world's earliest magic square diagram, and it is characterized by the addition of any set of numbers, and the result is 15. Analyze this diagram according to the law of the sum of the modes of the numbers, and you will find that the random combination of any group of numbers multiplies each other, and the sum of the modes of the result is 9, for example, a random combination of numbers in the first row is 924, and a random combination of numbers in the second row is 159, multiplying the two, the result is 146916, and finding the sum of its modes gives 1+4+6+9+1+6=27, 2+7=9, and it can be seen that the sum of the modes of the results is 9.
Hu Kehao squatted on the ground and pondered how to break the formation. He was still reluctant to believe all this, because what happened to him tonight could not be explained by the basic principles of physics. Suddenly, a man came out of the five-tree tree and shouted, "What are you doing here?" It's so late, why don't you go home yet? ”
Hu Kehao suddenly woke up and saw his father Hu Wenrui. "Dad, why are you here?" Hu Kehao asked.
"You called and said you were coming back today. We waited at home for a long time, and your phone couldn't get through, so I came out to look for you, but I didn't expect the two of you to keep going around in circles here. Hu Wenrui said.
"Oh no, we've met the Reverse Ghost. I, Li Tianbang, am a person who is not afraid of heaven and earth, but I didn't expect to be tricked by the ghost of the road today! Li Tianbang said.
"Where in the world are ghosts? Maybe you're hungry and faint, so go home and eat. Hu Wenrui comforted them a few words and returned home together.
