Chapter 331: The Prophet of the Unknown (2)
The old god seems to be able to predict the prophet, but in fact, everyone living in the village can do it if they observe carefully. I said this to Shen Nuo and Jiang Jun. They looked at me blankly, and I analyzed them both in detail.
If we include the farmland of the villagers and the small Tanzi and the creek behind the village, the total area of the village is actually quite large, and the reason why we feel that this village is small is because the population of the village is small, but this provides an opportunity for the "unpredictable prophet" of the old god.
The old god stick was able to accurately predict what we would encounter after we came out of his house, how many people we would meet, and how many men and women those people were, but in fact we were just taking advantage of the villagers' habits at a specific time. The old god stick can tell what the two dogs will do to us, but there is no way to predict how the people we meet will behave and look, and can only simply tell us how many people, how many men and how many women, this is because the old god stick has the means to control the animals. But there is no way to control people.
As previously speculated. Those two dogs are probably trained by the old god stick, looking at the small and appearance of the dog, I am afraid that they are several years old or even teens, and the old god stick wants to train two obedient dogs out, and it is not painful. And the number of people we meet and the gender mix are in line with the predictions of the old god stick. It has something to do with the distribution of your houses and farmland.
Through two days of surveying and visiting the village. I am already very familiar with the terrain of the village. More than 70 families moved out of the village, but those people were gone, but the houses were still there, so the remaining families in the village did not live together, their houses were separated by many empty houses, and only a few families were relatively close to each other.

The farmland is the same as everyone's house, so the whole farmland is divided into many areas by the villagers, and each family has a regional field. Xiaopan Village is very poor, but the most important thing is agricultural land, which was vacated after more than 70 families left. Due to the backwardness of production technology, other villagers did not plant on the extra vacant land, because even if they did, they would not be able to do so.
Therefore, everyone's farmland is also separated by a lot of open land, and only a few pieces of farmland that are still cultivated next to each other.
The villagers of Xiaopan Village always get up to the first rooster crowing in the village and go home with the evening sunset, and everyone has formed a habit for decades. When there are more people in the village, the habits of the people are likely to be relatively different, but when the number of people decreases, the habits of everyone will tend to be the same over time.
This can be seen from the tacit return time of the villagers who worked with Jiang Jun to clear the obstacles on the road.
Everyone's farmland is separated by open land, but there are one or two farmlands next to each other, so under normal circumstances, people with farmland next to each other will return home together, or villagers who are closer to home will wait for each other to go together. The old god's family lives at the entrance of the village, and when we came out of his house, the old godstick probably calculated that it was the time when the villagers were going back together.
Everyone's home is far from the farmland, so the old god stick can be sure that some time after we left his house, the villagers have not returned to their homes, but are walking on the way home, so we will inevitably meet. The old god stick also knows which people will go together, so the old god stick can predict how many people we meet, how many men and how many women.
As for how the old god stick predicts who we will meet first and who we will meet later, it is actually much simpler. The time for everyone to stop farming and return to the village tends to be the same, and the distance between everyone's farmland and home is different, under a day's work, everyone is very hard, so everyone walks very slowly, and this speed also tends to be the same, so we naturally meet those villagers whose farmland is closer to home, and then meet those villagers whose farmland is far away from home.
The old god stick has been living in this village for decades, and now there are only more than 30 small families left in the village, and in fact, there are only 30 people in the field, how can the habits of these 30 people be hidden from the eyes of the old god stick. The old god's prediction is also risky, because no one can guarantee that some villagers will suddenly go fast, or suddenly go away with the villagers who usually go home together.
However, the old god stick was lucky, and the situation we encountered was really as he predicted.
I don't believe in ghosts and gods, and I don't believe in feng shui metaphysics, so no matter what he says to us, it won't help. What he said to Shen Nuo, if it really becomes a fact, it may interfere with us, and if there is a mistake because of bad luck, our attitude towards the old god stick will only be the same as before, and nothing will change.
"Then the old god stick knew by the death of the camel what was the matter with us breaking the urn bottle?"
I thought for a moment and replied, "Follow me." ”
I took Jiang Jun and Shen Nuo out of the door, it was already dark, and at this time, it was exactly an hour before the time when the camel corpse was found by the villagers. When we went out, we brought some dry food, and soon, we came to the Xiao family compound, and as soon as we stepped into the threshold, we saw Xiao Lao lying on the edge of the well, staring at the well intently.
Jiang Jun was surprised: "The corpses have been pulled up, what is Xiao Lao looking at?" ”
I was silent, it was the same as I had speculated. We waited quietly outside the Xiao family's compound for more than an hour, and finally, Xiao Lao got up from the well, and he walked slowly and leisurely towards the Xiao family's house. Before he entered the house, I chased after him with dry food.
Xiao Lao's eyes were glazed, he took the dry food and continued to walk inside.
I looked at Jiang Jun and Shen Nuo: "Elder Xiao will lie on the side of the well and watch, it's just a habit. ”
Xiao Lao will lie on the side of the well during a certain period of time, maybe it is an unconscious behavior of a mentally ill person, or it may be Xiao Lao's behavior for some purpose, but in short, Xiao Lao is afraid that he will repeat this action every day. And the old god stick is taking advantage of this habit again.
"But it needs to buy off a villager, right?"
I shook my head: "Two are needed." ”
Jiang Jun and Shen Nuo no longer spoke, but quietly listened to my speculation.
When it was dark, the villagers didn't dare to look into the courtyard when they passed by the Xiao family's compound, so the villagers didn't know that Xiao Lao had this habit. Among the first batch of people who found the body, one person should have been bought, otherwise everyone might not be able to find out Xiao Lao's strange behavior and go to the well to check, this person should be the most daring of those people and said that he would enter the Xiao family's compound to check.
This is a person who is bought, and the role of this person is to ensure that the body can be found at a certain time period. And the second person should be responsible for breaking the urn of the camel's family. The surface of the ash bottle is smooth and smooth, and if you are not careful, it is indeed likely to be broken.
However, no matter how powerful the old god stick is, there is no way to calculate when we will touch the bottle, and whether we will accidentally break the bottle, so the ashes bottle needs to be broken by another person.
If it were me an old god, I would have informed the people of the village after the body was found, and it turned out that the whole village was shocked at that time. We live in a camel's house, and surely attention will also be attracted, and naturally, we will leave the house.
At this time, another villager who had been bought off and had been hiding near the camel's house to observe us would enter the house and break the ashes bottle.
However, the old god stick didn't expect Jiang Jun to accidentally break the ash bottle in advance, and the villager who was hiding near the camel's house immediately notified the old god stick.
In this way, the old god once again gave us the so-called "unpredictable prophet".
Jiang Jun looked around, and finally, his gaze fell on the well: "Professor Li, even if you are a mentally ill person, you can't go to one place every day to see a well every day for no reason." ”
I thought about it: "There are two possibilities, one is that Xiao is always pretending to be crazy, and staring at that well is to convey some kind of message." Another possibility is that it was an unconscious act, although it was unconscious, but it was able to make him repeat an action every day, and it was definitely the mental stimulation that the well had given him. ”
Shen Nuo: "Is there something in that well?" ”
