Chapter 8: Revenge
"You're really revenge not overnight." Zhai Zhiming's emotions were complicated, and his tone was difficult to understand.
Judging from his brief contact with the young man in front of him, he felt that he was a shrewd person, and the Liu family would definitely not have a good time if he provoked him, but he never thought that people would come to find fault in the morning and die in the afternoon.
"What do you mean by that?" Wei Feng put down the mud ball in his hand, looked at him with interest, and did not deny it.
It is polite to look at the other person when talking to someone.
Zhai Zhiming: "There was a fire in the south of the village, which burned down two houses and killed four people, Liu Laosi, Liu Laowu and their two sons. ”
Wei Feng said calmly: "Then this is God opening his eyes and helping me take revenge?" ”
Zhai Zhiming: "The villagers here have a habit of piling up the excess firewood that can not be put in the stove at the gate of the courtyard, judging from the traces of the scene, the firewood in front of the courtyard of Liu Laosi's house should be on fire, and today it is blowing the southeast wind, and the fire spread to Liu Laowu's house. ”
Wei Feng blinked: "It shows that there is still a sense of firefighting, right?" ”
Zhai Zhiming didn't answer his stubble: "But I asked the villagers, it has been raining here for three days in a row, although Liu Laosi has done waterproof treatment, but it is inevitable that the firewood pile will be wet, how can it catch fire?" If the pyre wants to catch fire, it needs to bake for a while with the existing fire source. ”
Wei Feng touched his chin, not caring at all about rubbing the mud up: "Makes sense, you mean, someone set fire?" Oh, no wonder you look at me like that, you suspect I set the fire. ”
He spread his hands and made an innocent statement: "But according to the time back, I should have been decocting medicine when the fire broke out in the south of the village." ”
Zhai Zhiming continued: "Thinking of this, I checked it carefully again, and found that most of the firewood hoarded at the gate of Liu Laosi's courtyard was firewood, but there were also traces of other dry firewood burning on the edge, so I thought it was a fire there. ”
Without waiting for Wei Feng to speak, he continued: "If it's just these, I can't be sure that you did it, after all, you and I are in this house at the time of the fire, and you really don't have the time to commit the crime, but in fact, this is the first thing I found." ”
As he spoke, he carried the pot-shaped item he had just put down in front of Wei Feng.
The object looked like metal, but the sunken side was polished and smooth, reflecting off the sun and making it look particularly glaring.
Zhai Zhiming showed a look of reminiscence, and said slowly: "When I was still in the Academy Palace, my tutor told me what he saw and heard when he was young and traveled all over the world, one of which was in a certain plateau area, where the sun was exceptionally abundant.
Locals have found that the smoothed gold and iron reflects sunlight and is very warm when it shines on people.
Later, a local wise man had a flash of inspiration and gathered these golden and iron objects in a circle, and then adjusted the angle to the sun, so that the sunlight reflected from all sides gathered at one point, and the resulting high temperature could heat the food, so that they would not eat raw food. ”
He pointed to the pot-shaped object he brought back again: "After the tutor returned to the school palace, he imitated it according to the principle, and it was similar to this thing, so the moment I saw it, I remembered that interesting anecdote." ”
Wei Feng chuckled and put away the pot, which is to use the concentrating principle of the rotating paraboloid to polish the metal smooth enough, and then adjust the arc to make a condenser to gather the sunlight to produce high temperature.
In another world, it has a familiar name, called the sun cooker.
"It's just that I don't know about two things." Zhai Zhiming said again, I don't know when, the topic of the two has changed from whether to kill or not to academic discussion, it seems that they don't care very much about the four lives.
Wei Feng looked at him again, waiting for his next step.
Zhai Zhiming: "First, the temperature generated by this item you made is not enough to ignite the dry firewood, this is the conclusion I came to after testing it with dry firewood, you don't need to argue." So what do you do with it, I'm pretty sure it's useful, otherwise it wouldn't be there. ”
Wei Feng thought for a while, and said: "Anything needs to reach a certain temperature to be ignited, this temperature is called the ignition point, the ignition point of dry firewood is higher, due to material limitations, my shoddy solar cooker really can't reach that high temperature." ”
He didn't lie, it is indeed a material limitation, if you can buy a normal solar stove made of aluminized glass mirrors, not to mention three or four hundred dry firewood, even higher wet wood will be shown to you in minutes.
"But." He changed his words and said, "The ignition point of the paper is very low, I just need to ignite the paper." ”
By this time, he no longer denied that he had done it.
"Randian...... The sun cooker ......" Zhai Zhiming muttered the two words he had just heard, felt quite appropriate, and asked curiously: "Is this a word you invented?" ”
Wei Feng was silent, he couldn't answer this question, what should he say? Could it be said that it was taught in nine years of compulsory education, does he dare to say that Zhai Zhiming dares to believe it? So he could only remain silent.
But in Zhai Zhiming's view, it seems to be a tacit acquiescence.
"Second, I only learned about this thing through the introduction of the mentor, and the mentor also saw it on the plateau, and the plateau residents were also trapped by the lack of firewood, so they had to find another way, but the plateau is very far away from here, and you have never left the village for a long time, so how do you know the principle of this thing?"
Zhai Zhiming's expression was inexplicably excited, as if he was waiting to verify something.
Wei Feng only felt a toothache, and he couldn't say anything about nine years of compulsory education, should I tell you about Napoleon III and Muschaux?
As a last resort, he could really hum a sentence from between his teeth: "I said that I researched it myself, do you believe it?" ”
At the same time, he sighed that his face was still not thick enough, and he still needed to strengthen his exercise.
But he never thought that Zhai Zhiming suddenly became excited: "Believe!" Of course I do! I didn't expect to pass by a small mountain village by chance and meet a research-oriented talent like you. Hearing Wei Feng admit it himself, he faintly made a certain decision in his heart.
Wei Feng's face was strange, on the one hand, because the other party really looked up to him, which you dare to believe, on the other hand, he was quite surprised by the last term "research talent", how could this statement be so similar to that on earth? Including the word "mentor" too, is it really such a coincidence?
Zhai Zhiming asked the villagers a lot about Wei Feng, and he could be regarded as having a clear understanding of his life.
He followed his parents to Moshi Village since he was a child, and he has never left the village for so many years, which means that he has no opportunity to study in the outside world.
Since childhood, he has been very smart, he doesn't like to talk and play on weekdays, whenever he behaves differently from ordinary people, or the words of others are unknown, the villagers only think of children's strange words, but Zhai Zhiming thinks of some talented doctors in the school palace, and has discovered some truths in the world since he was a child, but he is not understood by adults.
Later, he inquired about the people who oppressed Wei Feng at that time and seized his family's property, house, and land, but now except for Zhang Laosan, they are almost dead.
Only the third child of the Zhang family is cowardly with some generosity, and the other three are very ruthless.
I heard that it was the eldest of the Zhang family, the second and the fourth who occupied the Wei family house at the beginning, and at that time he also persuaded several brothers not to fall into the well and bully Wei Feng as a child, but the three brothers did not listen to the persuasion, but isolated him.
When Zhai Zhiming heard this, he deduced that the three people probably did not die in an accident, but some elaborate design, just like killing Liu Laosi and Liu Laowu today.
can have such an idea, mainly because he happened to crack Wei Feng's method of killing people today, and based on this, in his mind, he built a character image for Wei Feng who was skilled in planning.
will also make up for Wei Feng to create various coincidences to murder other enemies, and then outrageous the image of Wei Feng in his heart, which is called preconceived.
