Chapter 116 Weighing
Chapter 116 Weighing
116
Zhou Xiaozhou returned to where the sacks were placed angrily.
She didn't even take the few remaining coins that Dahai wanted to give her.
After being angry for a long time, she finally thought of a problem she had just discovered, and immediately began to ask Chen Dashan: "Brother Chen, is this an island?"
Chen Dashan nodded.
It's an island, so there must be a lot of seafood, but she had never seen it on Old Wu's dining table.
Including the Kuching county town where I visited today, I have not seen any store selling seafood.
Or maybe the people here don't know how delicious the food in the sea is, then that would be too easy for her.
Zhou Xiaozhou was secretly thinking about good things.
"So if we want to go to the beach, how do we get there?"
Chen Dashan: "I haven't been there, but Dahai and Xiaohai are from the seaside. You should ask them."
Er Hai happened to be walking back. After hearing what Chen Dashan said, he immediately helped to popularize the route: "There is a Sanshi County in front of Kuching County. After passing Sanshi County, the seaside is in front. There is a Yiliang Port there. My family used to live in a village next to Yiliang Port."
So the area of this island is quite large, Zhou Xiaozhou integrated the information.
But she still didn't look good to the two Hais. Da Hai and Xiao Hai thought she was angry that they spent it. But Uncle Chen gave her ten coins, and they only spent six coins. Isn't it fair to leave her four coins?
Moreover, Xiao Hai really likes the horn. Although he doesn't eat or drink it, as an older brother he also wants to satisfy his younger brother's wish.
Zhou Xiaozhou didn't expect Dahai to have such thoughts. She was just angry that she couldn't even weigh the coins.
She was not convinced, so she went to Dahai again and said, "Take out the remaining money."
Dahai thought she was still angry and hurriedly took out the coins.
"Oh, sea! Can you teach me how to tell whether this is one cent or two cents?" Zhou Xiaozhou asked humbly.
Dahai was confused. It turned out that you were not angry because the two brothers spent money, but because you could not distinguish the money?
What kind of brain is this?
But looking at Master Zhou who was still angry in front of him, Dahai couldn't say "no" and could only teach him honestly. But he really didn't know how to teach. Isn't this something he could know right away?
"Master Zhou couldn't hold this coin. Feel how heavy it is," Dahai handed a coin to Zhou Xiaozhou.
Zhou Xiaozhou took it and placed the coin in his palm, palm facing up, and felt it carefully. He felt nothing.
Dahai handed over another coin: "Put this one in the palm of your other hand and feel if there is any difference between the two coins."
Zhou Xiaozhou now had her hands facing upwards, each holding a purple coin. She sensed it for a while and said, "There's no difference, is there?"
Zhou Xiaozhou felt like there was something wrong with him. Why did these kids all do so well, but he couldn’t?
"That's right, you don't feel anything." Dahai chuckled, "These two coins are both one penny each, and they weigh the same."
Zhou Xiaozhou...
So, boy, are you kidding?
Staring at Zhou Xiaozhou's murderous eyes, Dahai put away his smile and placed a coin of the same purple color on the palm of Zhou Xiaozhou's right hand.
"This is two cents, Master Zhou, please feel it carefully again." Dahai said seriously.
Zhou Xiaozhou also clearly saw him replace the coins, but he didn't feel anything.
Aren't both sides the same weight?
After trying several times, sweat appeared on Dahai's forehead. The two-cent purple coin was transferred from his right hand to his left hand, and then from his left hand back to his right hand. He kept tossing it back and forth like this, but Zhou Xiaozhou didn't feel anything.
Zhou Xiaozhou was really about to collapse. She clearly felt that the two coins were of the same weight, so why did the people here say they were different?
What went wrong.
Fortunately, the quarter of an hour passed quickly and the villagers who had dispersed returned. Zhou Xiaozhou could tell from everyone's happy faces that they must have found what they wanted.
A group of people quickly left the grass market with hemp bags.
Follow the street and walk to the west gate.
However, this time going out is different from entering the city in the morning. No one made things difficult for me when I entered the city in the morning, but now leaving the city is much more strict.
I don’t know if it has anything to do with the capture of refugees all over the streets just now.
"Name?"
"Chen Dashan."
It was the same old familiar routine. This time they checked everyone one by one, including Zhou Xiaozhou.
Fortunately, they were all "good citizens", so they left the city smoothly.
When leaving, Zhou Xiaozhou looked at the big words "Kuching County" on the city gate and felt mixed emotions.
After walking along the earthen wall for a long time, they finally reached the East Gate. Just as the uniformed man at the grain store had said, the East Gate was even more chaotic. Zhou Xiaozhou looked at the row of round heads at the gate and vomited due to physical discomfort.
Really, she didn't expect that this place was really a lawless place.
Fortunately, they did not go into the city. Instead, they walked along the eastern mainland for a while and then entered a small path leading up the mountain.
Taking advantage of the afterglow, the group returned to Lai'an Village.
As expected, Zhou Xiaozhou fell ill and had a high fever, and Wu Sanmei was extremely anxious.
Of course, there is someone who is more anxious than her, Chen Dahe who is waiting anxiously.
Twenty-four hours had passed, and there was no news from Zhou Xiaozhou. Ge Meili had said earlier that she might be able to get through by phone at noon.
Unfortunately, this 'maybe' is just a 'maybe'.
No matter how Chen Dahe dialed Zhou Xiaozhou's number, he always heard that annoying female voice saying, "The number you dialed is out of service area."
Mr. Zhou was quite calm at first, but by the next day he could no longer sit still and began to contact his old comrades here.
After forty-eight hours, Chen Dahao finally broke down and called the police.
Missing.
Zhou Xiaozhou was missing. If it had been more than 48 hours, a case could be filed, but after the three of them went to the police station and their statements were recorded, the police refused to file a case.
It's really not so bizarre even in novels. What kind of time and space tunnel is this? People can get out after going in, but this time, the person went in and didn't come out, so he came to find the police. Why didn't he think of finding the police when he was going back and forth before?
This is not a joke!
Wasting time just to amuse people!
Seeing that the police refused to believe her, Ge Meili played her last trump card, which was a photo she took secretly despite Zhou Xiaozhou's dissuasion.
The photo was taken inside a large cave. The light was dim and the cell phone photo was blurry.
But it can be seen that there is indeed a big cave, and there are many people in strange clothes, smearing some kind of powder on their bodies.
But what does this mean? Is the photo editing technique good?
