Her tone was very calm when she spoke, and she took out three copper plates from the purse. The golden copper plates were thrown up by her, and they hit each other. Then she put the copper coins back into the purse, and then shook them.
The sound of the copper coins hitting was very clear.
At this time, the children's eyes lit up, because they discovered that it was really money. You must know that children in the countryside rarely have the opportunity to get cash. The only time they can eat a piece of candy is during the Chinese New Year. After giving a penny as a gift, they are
Take it back.
Therefore, children in the countryside are often able to touch it during the Chinese New Year. Even if they have one penny, it is a very good thing, and now it is three pennies, which is really good.
With these three cents, I might be able to buy something when I get to the town, and if there is a salesman, I can also buy something, especially things like maltose. Thinking of this, all of them are drooling.
The three cents did not require them to do any physical work. They only had to listen to the words of the master's family. Naturally, they were very willing to listen to the words of the rich and noble. They worked hard one by one, lest they would be kicked out because of disobedience.
Because everyone basically didn't go out to the ground at this time, the children's families came with them. At this moment, the door outside was full of people, and everyone looked at it with some curiosity.
Most of the people who are willing to come here are the bolder ones, and most of them come to watch the excitement and see what is going on, because there are no entertainment activities in the small village.
People in the countryside generally live day after day, year after year, planting in spring and harvesting in autumn every year. Except for winter, they basically have to work in the fields every day. Some people will probably never visit the county town in their entire life. Everything in life remains unchanged.
Mostly.
Moreover, this small courtyard has never allowed them to come over before. This is the first time someone from the small courtyard has asked them to come over, so people who like the excitement took the opportunity to come and have a look.
You must know that this small courtyard is the house of the owner of Zhuangzi. As tenants, they still feel very fond of this old lady because the rent she charges is among the lowest. In this case, they can live a better life.

Of course, they usually don't dare to go to the small courtyard. If they accidentally offend the owner's family, they will suffer. This is a rare opportunity to see the children going to the small courtyard, so they naturally want to take a look.
But after seeing Ling Xiao, they only dared to look from a distance, but did not dare to move forward, because common people like them could not come into contact with such a magnanimous person, and they felt a little nervous.
But when Ling Xiao said that he was giving out money, the eyes of those onlookers lit up, because they also wanted to make three cents. As a country boy, it was really difficult to make money.
Ling Xiao thought for a while and decided to let adults try it later. Because the first batch of experimenters were all children, and the children themselves were a little confused, the data was not very accurate.
But I have already let the children in and promised them three cents. If I take them away now, something might happen. Forget it! It’s just a small amount of money.
Now let’s try the situation of the children. She looked at the children wearing very tattered clothes. These children were wearing clothes made of coarse cloth. Even if they had some patches, they were still neat. The tenants in the Seventh Old Lady’s Zhuangzi were still
Having a good time.
It is said that other farmers' families are even poorer because the land tax is too heavy. In addition to this, they also have to bear labor and military service. In addition to these, they have to be careful of serious illness. If this is the case, they will be desperate.
Even though they are very hard-working, they can still barely make ends meet, because the officials evade paying taxes time and time again for their own benefit. So where does the money for the national treasury come from? It is often the result of squeezing small landowners and small craftsmen.
This is also the reason why Ling Xiao turned from a casual fan of the Donglin Party to a fan. The officials represented by the Donglin Party have already separated from the lowest level of society. They are thinking about how to extract more money, and they wish they could squeeze it out of stones.
Come out with oil.
Thinking of this, she looked at the children in front of her. Will their descendants die under the iron hoof of the aliens? She did not speak, but was slightly distracted.
Fortunately, she came to her senses quickly and looked at several people with a smile. Those children were all very obedient. Ling arranged for them one by one and sat on small stools to wait.
There is a certain distance between the two stools, but not too far. It can be reached by walking two steps. The reason for the distance is so that they cannot hear each other's whispers directly.
These children were all sitting there obediently. You must know that Ling Xiao's aura was too strong. They were all as well-behaved as kittens. They sat there very nervously and did not dare to move.
Ling Xiao felt that these children were really honest. If the children in modern society were all lively and active, if they were allowed to sit there, they would have to ask for a reason, but the children here would only be obedient and obedient. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and she also
Nothing was said.
He said to the seventh old lady: "Okay, the seventh old lady, let Fugui say something to the child in the front, and then let them pass it on one by one. At the end, let's see what Fugui said, and the children
What did you say in the end?"
The seventh old lady didn't understand what this meant, so what else could she say? Isn't this just a message? Whatever the rich and noble said, the children will naturally say what they said. But she is a very smart person, so she did not speak out her objections.
Ling Xiao walked to the first child and said: "Fugui will say something to you later. After you remember it, you must pass this sentence to him quietly. Don't let others know. Do you know what I mean?"
She pointed to the second child sitting there. The child sitting in the front was about ten years old. He came from a relatively good family and was well-dressed. Sitting on the stool, he understood Ling Xiao's words.
Ling Xiao walked to the second child and said, "What he says later, you have to tell people here." She pointed to the first child first, and then to the third child.
After so on, she told all the children who participated in the experiment and started the experiment. The seventh old lady was a little funny, but she also felt that Ling Xiao was very serious. She felt that the children were still young, so she asked Fugui to say the last word.
Easy to remember words.
Although Fugui didn't understand why Ling Xiao did this, he still walked to the child at the front. Ling Xiao told him: "Don't speak loudly, just whisper it to the child, and let him hear it alone. The most you can say is
Twice."
After Fugui nodded, he bent down and said something in the ear of the first child, twice. The child was very nervous and pulled his clothes with both hands.
Then Ling Xiao gently pulled the child. The child looked at Ling Xiao with some confusion. He saw Ling Xiao pointing at the second child. The first child understood and walked to the second child.
whispered something into his ear.
The second child also understood, so he stood up and passed the message to the third child, one by one. In the process, Ling Xiao found that there was a child who didn't know what to do, so he walked over and pulled him up to tell him the message.
Pass it to the person behind you.
It took a while and the matter was finally settled. The seventh old lady called the first child and the last child over with some curiosity and wrote down what they had just heard.
In addition, Fugui was asked to say what he said. Following the seventh old lady, he discovered a problem. The words he said were tampered with during the narration process. The changes were confusing. The words spoken by the first child and the last child were not the same at all.
thing.
?????The old lady looked confused. This was said in front of her, but the result turned out to be like this. Her idea was completely different from what she thought. Ling Xiao took out a few coins and gave them to everyone who participated.
All the children were given three copper coins.
The children were very happy. This was the first time they got three pennies. It was good to get one cent before. They all put their three pennies carefully.
The adults who saw the three cents were all very envious, and some parents directly wanted to take away the money from their children, saying that it was saved for them, but they were afraid that the children might not get it when they grow up.
There are children who take the money themselves because the situation at home is pretty good and the parents don't want to take it for them. Everyone standing outside wants to try it themselves, so they all look at Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao originally wanted to do it a few more times so that he could get a more standard situation, so he said: "It was just one set, and the data may not be accurate. In this case, let's do a few more sets."
The seventh old lady didn't know the meaning of Ling Xiao's experiment, but she still agreed, so she did several more groups. It turned out that people were indeed tampering with the original words consciously or unconsciously during the process of transmitting messages.
While the Seventh Old Lady was wondering what was going on, Ling Xiao gave the money to those people and sent them away. These people were all the Seventh Old Lady's tenants, so they naturally left very obediently.
Ling Xiao returned to the hall with the seventh old lady who had recovered her senses. Chen Liulang and Siping were watching the situation in the room just now, but they were also a little confused.
"Seventh Old Madam, you should know what I want to express, right?" Ling Xiao asked. She turned to look at the Seventh Old Madam, but found that the old lady was still a little confused at this moment, and everyone else, including Chen Liuye, also looked confused.
confused.
Ling Xiao remembered that these were pure ancient people, the kind of people who didn't think too much. They had never experienced similar situations, and they were not people in the officialdom. Naturally, he didn't see what he was thinking.
He said: "I just wanted to demonstrate to you the process of sending a message. You can also see that there is a huge difference between the message at the beginning and the message at the end. In other words, I wanted to go east at the beginning, but ended up going west.
And go."
The seventh old lady slowly thought about Ling Xiao's words, and she understood why she couldn't convey the message easily, because sometimes the message was simply thousands of miles away.
At this moment, Chen Liuye finally understood Ling Xiao's purpose of doing the experiment, but he still didn't know why Ling Xiao wanted to take people to do this experiment. What did Ling Xiao want them to learn from it? He and Siping looked at each other, shook their heads slightly, and signaled
I don't know.
After sitting down, Ling Xiao looked around at several people, and then said: "Actually, the purpose of doing this experiment is to tell you that message transmission is very important. If there is a mistake, there will be problems in the message transmission."
A few people nodded. They could still understand this, but they didn't understand what it had to do with Chen Liulang. However, some people seemed to understand what was going on.
Ling Xiao continued: "What action we want to take, there is also a place to send a message. For example, if I want to drink water, I will walk over, pick up the tea cup, and start drinking. Right?"
When she said this, she paused. She had to make sure that the other party could understand her words. There was no way to say that the brain issued instructions, and then transmitted the instructions to various body positions through the nerves, and then the actions took place.
Unfortunately, we are in ancient society, and medicine has not yet learned more about the mysteries of the human body. The brain, as the most important organ of human beings, needs the most protection. People still think that it is just thoughts, so many things are still difficult to bring up.
Therefore, Ling Xiao had to use some professional medical terminology when explaining, trying to explain clearly what was going on so that the Seventh Old Madam and the others could understand.
As for the Seven Old Madams, siblings and Fugui, they didn't understand what the other party meant at first. After some explanations from Ling Xiao, they found that they somewhat understood what they meant. Seeing the two of them understanding, Ling Xiao
Xiao was very happy.
Ling Xiao said again: "It seems that you guys probably understand what's going on, so different things will happen after this message is sent out.
Of course, most of the messages are transmitted normally during this process, but sometimes there are deviations in certain messages during the transmission process, just like the ones you just saw."
At this moment, they suddenly realized that what they had just seen was like this, and they really did not expect that Ling Xiao would tell them a possibility in this way.
"Do you understand? The reason why I didn't say that I was possessed by evil spirits or saw tricks is because there are no tricks in this world. It was entirely due to illness that there was a problem in transmitting the message.
That is to say, when the instruction was given, you were asked to take it, but after the transmission, it changed, and it became asking you to let go of your hand, and your own hand became uncontrollable.
Usually when encountering this kind of situation, everyone will panic. Probably no one will think that they are sick, and they are more likely to think that they will be scared to death if they encounter something strange." Ling Xiao knew in his heart: This is Strange Hand Syndrome.
.
When he said this, Mr. Chen Liu burst into tears. It was not a trick at all. You must know that those children and grandchildren looked at him as if they were seeing an evil trick! They wished they could find someone to take him away from this evil trick.
In fact, it's not an evil trick at all. He was trying to scare himself, but it made it difficult for him to live. He was just sick and there was a problem during the transmission process, so that in the end it looked like he was seeing a trick! That's good!
When he thought of this, he almost wanted to cry, because during this period of time, he had encountered too many ups and downs in the world, and had seen some people's faces. Sometimes, looking back, there was no need to be sad for those people and things.
