Chapter 98: Thousands of Households Go Ghost Thieves
(Thank you very much for the generous gift of "Sihai Dragon Lord", 999 copies, and the amount is very high. Friends who have not subscribed to the first chapter of VIP, hurry up.)
Heaven does not give birth to Newton, and it will be like the long night forever!
I didn’t read much of Ping An Book, and I don’t know that this sentence is actually used: Heaven will not give birth to Zhong Ni, and it will be like a long night forever.
But the sky does not give birth to Zhong Ni, and it will be like a long night forever. It is a couplet written by an anonymous poet in the Song Dynasty on the wall of the Shu Taoist temple.
But he literally understood what this sentence meant, so he thought that Newton was a master.
In fact, Ping An guessed correctly, this is indeed a "expert".
Standing on the shoulders of giants, if they can't be considered high, then there will be no master.
Therefore, Ping An, who had just come out of the Chen Mansion and had just used the name of Newton, couldn't wait to ask Nie Xiaoqian this question: "Sister, which dynasty Newton is from which dynasty?"
Of course, the ancient Ping'an couldn't figure out who the Newton who lived in the future was.
Nie Xiaoqian heard that Chen Fusheng actually claimed to be a Geometric. Although this geometry came from Li Bai's preface, she was still angry for a moment, and asked Ping An to use Newton and differential to confront her. Unexpectedly, Ping An was also puzzled and wanted to break the casserole to ask the end, which made her quite entangled.
After considering it, she did not directly answer Ping An’s question, but asked a question: “Ping An, what would you think if you were sitting under an apple tree and accidentally hit the head by a scolded apple?”
"Are the apple hitting the head?" Ping An subconsciously touched his head, as if an apple really hit his head, "Sister, is that apple tree tall?"
"What do you do if the apple tree is tall?" Nie Xiaoqian said strangely, and a trace of ominous premonition arose in her heart.
"If the tree is too high, the apple may be smashed down and faint. If the tree is not high, Ping An will be fine, and then she will probably pick up the apple and eat it. My mother said that the food that can be eaten cannot be wasted." Ping An thought for a while and replied a little embarrassedly.
The premonition came true, so Nie Xiaoqian was stunned by Ping An's answer.
She asked Ping'an this question, but it didn't make him think in those two directions.
Although Newton was hit by an apple and realized the law of gravity was an anecdote and interesting thing that others thought, she was still looking forward to Ping An’s special thoughts. She never expected that Ping An’s thoughts were indeed unusual, but not the unusual one she wanted.
"Didn't you think of anything else, such as why when an apple falls off a tree, it falls on the ground instead of flying into the sky?" Nie Xiaoqian also thought of revealing some secrets. Being a mentor, let Ping An turn around and become a powerful person.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as expected.
I was already confused about Nie Xiaoqian's first apple falling, and I was even more confused about the second question: "Sister, don't the apples fall on the ground when they fall off? Haven't you heard that they will fly into the sky?"
Nie Xiaoqian was stunned. Yes, it was common sense that the apple fell to the ground instead of flying into the sky. She obviously asked too abruptly.
Ping An glanced at her sister's face. Seeing that she seemed a little angry when she didn't speak, she quickly replied carefully: "Sister, are you going to ask Ping An about the truth about studying things and learning?"
Studying things to lead to knowledge?
Nie Xiaoqian was stunned and waved her hand and said, "Forget it, don't think about it, just pretend I haven't asked these questions."
She was very tempted and intended to lead peace to the apple and gravity. She failed. When she looked back and thought about it, she found that she had such wishful romantic ideas. She really ignored objective laws too much.
Ping An’s foundation in physics is about zero, and it is reasonable to not be able to connect Apple with gravity.
If she asked a question, Ping An immediately replied that the reason why the apple fell to the ground was due to gravity. Then she might have to doubt whether Ping An, who is such a monster, is also a time traveler.
So she is no longer trying to help her grow, but is so exaggerated that she is thinking about harvesting before she even planted the seeds.
"Peace, everything in this world has a theorem. If you can observe carefully and think diligently, you may also discover some of the rules."
“Is it like the reason why you get hit on the head by an apple when you sit under an apple tree?”
"Just like the Buddha attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree."
Nie Xiaoqian ultimately did not tell Ping'an which sage Newton was.
Ping An held an umbrella, led a cow and burned incense. When he was about to leave Ganhe Town, he passed the official road intersection where he left the town, and saw several middle-aged men with knives posting notice documents on the notice board there.
There were many young and old people around, pointing at the documents on the notice board, and talking in a lot of different opinions.
"Who was stolen?"
"Isn't that true? I just stole nine families in one night, and even Wang Laohu's family was not spared."
"I heard that in order to prevent theft, Wang Laohu specially hired more than a dozen martial arts swordsmen in the hospital guards. Could it be that he still couldn't defend himself?"
"You didn't hear Wang Laohu's roar this morning. If it weren't for being stolen, how could you scold the sky early in the morning?"
"What are more than a dozen swordsmen in the hospital guard? Chen Hushi, who sells braised food, is afraid of being stolen, so he secretly puts the silver into a jar and seals it into a cesspool. What's the result?"
"Or it was stolen?"
"Yes, it's simply amazing. I can't even hide it in the cesspool. I don't know how the thief found out that the silver was hidden in the cesspool."
"Isn't it just a look beforehand?"
"It should be the gang that committed the crime, some people were responsible for stalking and some were responsible for the theft."
“How many households have been stolen now?”
"There are at least dozens of households, not just in our town, but also in the neighborhood. In the past half month, the news of the stolen property in the family has not been interrupted. Recently, our Ganhe Town was furious and panic by the thief who was killed by a thousand-killed thief."
"After stealing so many people in a row, no one discovered who the thief was and what he looked like?"
"The most surprising thing is this. No one has ever seen the traces of a thief. All the property was stolen without knowing it."
"That's why it's called a ghost thief. He steals money like a ghost, but no one can see it."
"If the ghost thief is not removed for a day, he can't even put a penny at home."
"Oh, I don't know when this thousand-sword ghost thief will be arrested and brought to justice."
...
It turned out that the middle-aged men with knives were constables who went to the countryside to arrest the thieves. They posted orders to arrest the thieves and arrest documents against the thieves.
A ghost thief?
Nie Xiaoqian's heart moved and asked Ping An to go forward.
Through the crowd, I saw the portrait of the ghost thief on the sea captain's document, three-pointed like a human and seven-pointed like a ghost. (To be continued.)
