Chapter 9: Divergent Directions (1)
Late at night, Yang Xin and Yang Tong both fell asleep, and Yang Xuewen was going back to BJ.
He didn't ask his wife to send it, but when he left, he suddenly saw a white light, he didn't care, thinking that it was just an illusion caused by his sleepiness.
And Yang Tong and Yang Xin appeared in a wonderful world at this moment, they also slowly opened their eyes, and the clothes on their bodies also changed, which made them feel very magical.
Soon, as far as the eye could see, a horse-drawn carriage passed by the main road.
The carriage was very luxurious, and the horses were very handsome, with a coachman driving the carriage in front and a wealthy merchant sitting in the carriage yawning in the back.
Suddenly, a group of people on the side of the road asked the businessman in the car, "Where are you going, gentleman?"
The rich merchant replied, "I'm going to Chu!"
The person who asked said strangely: "But the country of Chu is in the south, how can Mr. go north!"
The merchant replied nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, I still have a lot of entanglements, my horses are very good at running, and my coachman is very skilled in driving!"
After saying that, he continued to let the coachman hurry.
Looking at the back of the merchant leaving, the group of people who were talking to the merchant on the side of the road all laughed.
Someone said: "I really met a strange person today, obviously the Chu State is in the south, he has to go to the north, he will definitely not be able to reach the Chu State in his life."
Another chimed in: "The world is round! Didn't he know that if he did this, he would only get farther and farther away from the Chu State? ”
With that, the group burst into laughter again.
After hearing this, Yang Xin stepped forward to argue dissatisfiedly: "What's so funny, as long as he keeps going north, then one day he will return to the place where we are standing now, and at that time he will come back from the Chu country you said."
Several people laughed even more cheerfully, and the man in white smiled: "Little girl, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Yang Tong also immediately stood on his sister's side and said: "This is the truth, we live on a ball, as long as we go in one direction along a point, one day, we will return to the original point."
The man in Tsing Yi sighed: "No, my stomach hurts with laughter, and some people will say that we live on the same ball, and it is really a child's words."
The slightly longer man spoke: "Since ancient times, the sky is round and the earth is round, and it is said that the sky is round and the earth is square, if we live on a ball, shouldn't we fly?"
"It's like this!"
He plucked a dandelion from the side of the road, put it to his mouth and blew it, and the dandelion tidbits began to flutter and drift to an unknown place.
Yang Xin puffed out his cheeks and wanted to refute, but he ran out of words for a while, so he could only focus on Yang Tong's body.
Yang Tong said: "The sky is not round, and the earth is not square. We live on a planet called Earth, which is a planet that orbits the sun. The reason why we didn't float was because of gravity, and gravity was discovered by a foreigner named Newton, who was observing the fall of an apple, and it called this gravitational force as, well...... Gravitation is gravitational force. ”
The group was stunned, and then laughed again, and the kid almost believed what he said.
The young man in white looked at Yang Tong and Yang Xin and said, "Little friend, it's getting dark, it's time for you to go home."
After saying that, these people left together, so angry that Yang Tong and Yang Xin stomped their feet, and even Yang Tong was so angry that the word ignorance popped up.
The white light flashed again, and Yang Tong and Yang Xin appeared next to a tea shop on the side of the road.
The merchant got out of the car and greeted Xiao Er for tea, and Xiao Er asked the businessman, "Where are you going?"
The merchant replied unhurriedly: "I'm going to Chu State!"
Xiao Er showed a surprised look on his face and said, "Guest officer, the Chu State is in the south, you are going in the wrong direction."
The merchant smiled and replied, "It doesn't matter, I have a lot of entanglements on my way, my horses are very fast, and my coachman is very skillful."
Xiao Er didn't say anything more, but looked at the businessman with the eyes of a fool.
Yang Xin was also puzzled, looked at his brother and said, "But the earth is round!" Even if he goes in the opposite direction, although it will take a little more time, he can still reach his destination, why do other people think this is wrong? ”
Yang Tong is also difficult to understand, this businessman has said that he has a lot of money, the horses run fast, and the coachman has good driving skills, as long as he doesn't care about the time, he will be able to reach the place he wants to go sooner or later.
The merchant drank his tea and continued north.
Yang Tong pulled Yang Xin to the tea shop, Xiao Er looked at the two children curiously, and then kindly brought them two cups of tea.
Yang Tong suddenly asked, "Excuse me, did that person go to Chu State just now?"
Xiao Er was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "Yes!"
Yang Tong continued to ask, "Is it not right for him to go north to the Chu State?"
Xiao Er replied with a smile: "Naturally it's not right, the Chu State is in the south, and if he goes to the north, he will never reach the Chu State."
Yang Xin was about to object, Yang Tong gave Yang Xin a look, and Yang Xin could only hold his hands and sulk.
She is a six-year-old who knows that this merchant will definitely be able to reach the Chu State, but why do so many people in this world think that he can't reach the Chu State?
Cha Xiaoer turned around and wanted to go back to the store, suddenly remembered something, turned around and saw that the two children had disappeared, and the tea he served them was still steaming.
The white light flashed again, and Yang Tong and the others came to a village, and on the way outside the village, they met the merchant again.
This time it was a teacher who asked the merchant where he was going, and the merchant said to go to the state of Chu.
Mr. Teaching asked suspiciously: "The state of Chu is in the south, why do you want to go north?"
The merchant still talks about it, I have a lot of entanglements, my horses run fast, and my coachman is good at driving.
Mr. Teach's persuasion of the merchant to go south was still too late. The merchant was very stubborn and refused to listen to Mr. Teach.
Yang Tong said to his sister strangely: "You said that it is not this world, only he knows that the earth is round." As long as he keeps going north, he will be able to get where he wants to go. ”
Yang Xin agreed: "Very likely! Just like what was said on TV, everyone was drunk and I was sober, maybe he was really the only one who was smart. ”
Mr. Jiaoshu suddenly saw two children standing on the side of the road in the distance, and asked curiously, "Children, what are you doing?"
Yang Xin snorted and said, "We don't talk to stupid people."
Mr. Teaching is a little blind, how can he become a fool?
And Yang Tong was even more ruthless, and directly stabbed Mr. Teaching with words.
"You don't have enough knowledge, you don't even understand the truth of a circle!"
Mr. Teaching is even more blind, what is the truth of a circle, I don't understand?
I did something wrong, and I was ridiculed by two children.
