Chapter 1728 There is a huge misunderstanding of witches!
"That's right," Koizumi Anko said with emotion as she looked in the direction of the sea, "Pearl is different from Phoebe. She is like a little rabbit. She seems to be scared to tears if she is frightened."
"Click."
There was a soft sound in the room, and soon it was the childish voice of a little girl asking questions.
"Grandpa, what is this?"
"This is a bone jade passed down from the Montgomery family. Don't break it."
As soon as Koizumi Hongzi's ears caught the word "bone jade", she immediately floated into the house.
Chi Fei was bored and followed him in.
In the room, Marvin was sitting on the desk, wearing reading glasses and taking notes in the book, "Elizabeth, this is a taboo item that symbolizes the witch in legend..."
A four or five-year-old girl stood in front of the bookcase, holding an open box, with a curious and playful look in her blue eyes. She reached out and poked the bone jade gently with her fingertips, "Witch?"
Marvin put down his pen and stood up, bent down and took the box from Elizabeth's hand, took Elizabeth aside and sat down, telling stories he had heard from his father and grandmother.
As for how many plots they made up, Chi Feichi and Koizumi Hongzi have lost count and are too lazy to care.
In short, it is a childish story that even they have not thought about, similar to Cinderella version 2.0.
Marvin told the story with a kind face, "In this way, with the help of the bone jade, the witch lived happily with her family forever, and then gave it to her child, and the child gave it to her child...
"
Little Lolita Elizabeth nestled in Marvin's arms, yawned, but couldn't sleep. She rubbed her eyes and said, "Then we arrived at Grandpa's place? Can Grandpa use bone jade to do magic?"
"My father heard from my grandmother that the guardian spirit in the bone jade will make the bone jade suddenly ring when the witch's family is in danger," Marvin smiled, and did a very straight man thing, crushing himself personally
"Actually, this is just a legend. You see, there are many small holes in the bone jade. When air passes through, the bone jade will make a sound. People at that time didn't know this, so they thought it was something."
Gods or souls exist in it..."
"It's like a whistle, right?" Elizabeth looked sideways at the box on the table, "Can I blow it?"
"No," Marvin said with a smile, "This is something given to my grandfather by my family. My grandfather must take good care of it. It has been there for many years and it will be broken if you are not careful."
Two fog masses: "..."
No, no, they feel that the bone jade is still strong.
"Then how do I know whether what my grandfather said is true?" Little Elizabeth asked.
"As long as it is placed in a box and no air passes through the holes on it, it will not ring," Marvin explained good-naturedly. "Elizabeth has to believe her grandfather..."
"cracking."
Chi Feichi controlled the bone jade to make a sound.
After Koizumi Hongzi was stunned for a moment, she looked at Marvin's face that was frozen in laughter and burst into laughter.
Elizabeth pointed in the direction of the box, looked at Marvin with suspicion, and reminded, "Grandpa, the bone jade seemed to be ringing just now!"
"Ahem..." Marvin explained awkwardly, "Actually, there is air everywhere around us. There was a breeze blowing outside the door just now. Even if the bone jade is in the box, there may be air flow through the holes on it, causing it to make sounds. If
If we close the box, it will never make any sound..."
Marvin reached out and closed the box.
"Look," Marvin said with a smile, "Grandpa will never lie to you..."
"cracking--!"
Chi Feichi controlled the bone jade to make a louder sound.
Elizabeth looked at Marvin with a strange look, "Grandpa..."
Koizumi Anko was so happy that she burst into laughter.
In ordinary times, the two of them would not only watch the development of the city, but also listen to the gossips of residents passing by. It was a rare opportunity to tarnish the image of the scientific dog Marvin in front of the little lolita, which was also a rare and pleasant event.
The side effect of all this trouble is that Little Lolita equated the bone jade with the silkworm babies and caterpillars she had seen before, and persistently fed her as if she wanted to treat it as a pet.
Naturally, Marvin would not agree with the little Lolita messing around with family heirlooms, but Elizabeth had her own way. While Marvin was out, she quietly sneaked into the room, handed the leaves over, and found that the bone jade had not moved.
Then he ran to pull out the herbs in the herb garden.
This behavior was soon discovered by Marvin, and the scholar Marvin began to guide Elizabeth, deceiving the little Lolita by saying, "If you know the herbs clearly, you will know what Guyu likes to eat," and led the little Lolita to identify the herbs.
In exchange, Elizabeth could take the box to the herb garden and let the jade bones bask in the sun.
Taking it one step further, I want to sprinkle water in the box.
"No, Elizabeth, stop! Don't spill the water!"
"Why? You will be thirsty if you don't drink water..."
When Elizabeth tormented Marvin with "One Hundred Thousand Whys", Chi Feichi's vision gradually blurred. When it became clear again, it was the black and red ceiling of Koizumi Hongzi's house that was very witch-style.
The candles around him had been burned out and extinguished, and there was no clock in the room. Chi Feichi sat up, moved his hands that were lying stiff on the stone floor, took out his mobile phone and checked the time, stood up and went out.
Three o'clock in the morning.
I don’t know if the slate was too hard and the experience was bad, but he couldn’t sleep at all.
After Chi Feichi left the house, the door of the next room was opened, and Koizumi Hongzi limped out, lowering his head and rubbing his legs, "This is the first time I have slept on the stone slab for so long since I can remember... Are you still sleeping?"
"
"The conditions for entertaining guests here are too bad. I can't sleep." Chi Fei Chi walked to the living room, "Now that I'm awake, why not organize and record the useful things."
"I want to go into the dreamland with you, but there's nothing I can do about it. Just be patient for a little bit," Koizumi Hongzi slowly moved her numb legs to follow, and couldn't help but yawned, "I don't have myself either.
I went to sleep in a comfortable bed, and after so long in my dream, I woke up to find that I had only slept for five hours. I was not sleepy, and I couldn't pick up my energy. It was just as uncomfortable as the last time I entered your dream..."
At around three o'clock in the morning, the two of them were sitting in the living room, and one of them started to 'work' in front of a computer.
Koizumi Anko recalled the various strange black magic she saw in her dreams. She became more energetic and typed on the computer. "I thought I wouldn't be able to write the Witch's Notes like my ancestors, but history shouldn't be buried. I
I must record everything I see, including the black magic I saw. Although there is a lack of material now, maybe future generations can use it."
Chi Feichi casually said "hmm" and started drawing on the computer.
The two of them didn't talk anymore, and the clock in the living room ticked away.
Until four hours later, Koizumi Hongzi stretched out her arms, leaned back on her chair, stared at Chi Feichi's computer screen for a moment, and asked wordlessly, "What are you doing?"
"I am drawing medieval aristocratic costumes," Chi Feichi said. "Send the drawings to my mother and ask the costume designers of the Field Group to improve them and introduce medieval European retro-style costumes. They should be very popular among women.
It has always been the main force in clothing consumption. It would be a pity not to make this profit..."
Koizumi Hongzi sat up straight and turned her chair to face Chi Feichi, "Don't you want to record those herbal prescriptions?"
"It's not necessary," Chi Feichi temporarily stopped and explained, "At that time, many materials used with herbal medicines had disappeared. Without those things, the prescriptions were just ordinary prescriptions, or wrong prescriptions, and the calculation principle was actually based on
I know that with the help of the Montgomery family, I can familiarize myself with the medicinal properties of many herbs. When I need a prescription, I can calculate it myself, or calculate a new prescription...including the prescription that makes people lose their magic genes."
Koizumi Hongzi couldn't refute, and smiled with feeling, "You are indeed the patron saint of the Montgomery family, but what is the principle you are talking about?"
"Eat breakfast first," Chi Feichi stood up and said, "I'll explain it to you at the dinner table."
At the dining table, Koizumi Hongzi was eating breakfast while listening to Chi Feichi's explanation of the Hetu Luoshu deduction method.
Chi Feichi holds a spoon in his left hand and draws pictures with his right hand, without affecting the progress of eating breakfast. "Using the rhizome of elder as an example, we first digitize the attributes and ingredients. Each ingredient and attribute is marked with a different overlapping diamond, such as
The attribute wood is 1, so the forward sorting is in progress..."
Koizumi Hongzi: "?"
Chi Feichi: "When adding the next medicinal material, we also digitize the properties and ingredients... Some of the ingredients of these two medicinal materials are conflicting, and some are compatible. There are many choices at this time, so the amount needs to be added as another data.
Then sort and change..."
Koizumi Hongzi: "???"
Chi Feichi: "Forward rotation, the included digital changes..."
Koizumi Hongzi: "..."
Very good, she couldn't understand the pattern of changes in the numbers at all, and she recalled the terrifying experience of listening to the son of nature lecture on mathematics.
"At this point, these two medicinal materials can be combined to produce perfect wood properties, but they lack activity. If you treat these data as an array diagram and make the entire array come alive, then add another medicine..."
"Boom."
Koizumi Anko hit her head on the table and collapsed, "That's enough, don't say this is a formation diagram, the formation diagram is not that difficult!"
Chi Feichi stopped, put the pen and paper aside, and prepared to concentrate on breakfast, "I thought that as a witch, you should be easier to understand than ordinary people."
Koizumi Hongzi: "..."
The son of nature has a huge misunderstanding of the witch!
After breakfast, Koizumi Anko took advantage of her deep memory to continue writing her own Witch's Notes.
Ike Feichi was much more relaxed, but he didn't go out again. After packaging the drawings and sending them to Ikekana, he re-examined the pharmaceutical plan he had organized before. Even Mouri Kogoro asked him if he wanted to drop by the prison to see Haga Kyosuke.
Refused.
He watched the Montgomery family grow up from generation to generation. In addition to learning more about the medicinal properties of various herbal medicines, he also gained a lot of inspiration from the whimsical 'ghost doctor ideas' of that era.
His original plan can be adjusted.
At night, Koizumi Hongzi re-arranged the magic circles in the two rooms and lit candles.
The two of them saw the hard stone, took a deep breath to eliminate the psychological shadow left by lying on the stone the night before, and then lay down on it resolutely.
In the dream, a herbal medicine shop was built in the Montgomery family's residence.
Elizabeth has grown into a child of fourteen or fifteen years old. She is boiling herbs in the yard. Her face still retains some of her childhood look. Her light chestnut curly hair is braided into a big braid on one side, and her expression is much quieter.
The only thing that hasn't changed is the open box next to it that's basking in the sun.
