Chapter 554: Into the desert
"What do you think?" Chen Yu asked back.
Wen Tingxu smiled awkwardly: "In my opinion, the ten evils are not evil, they are just attachments. Once a creature like humans has obsession in their hearts, it is difficult to separate them from them."
He smiled, looked at us again, and said, "I know what you are thinking, let me tell you for you. I am also a person who is obsessed with being unable to extricate myself. Otherwise, why would you bring everyone to the 'Sea of Death'?"
We finally got on the off-road vehicle, drove out of the county town, headed eastward, and headed towards Takramagan.
"Sea of Death" is the nickname of the Taklamakan Desert, and sometimes it also refers specifically to the Lop Nur Desert, which is where scientist Peng Jiamu once disappeared. In fact, compared to Lop Nur, the entire Taklamakan is even more vast.
In people's imagination, hell is a place where smoke and flames blew in the air. And if you walk into the Taklamakan Desert, many people will not have another feeling.
Why is the so-called hell not a silent place? Just like the desert in front of you and behind you?
There are only white sand and cool suns here, with few animals and plants. If you walk into the boundless desert, people will have the illusion that something closer to them is not spectacular, but insignificant and death.
Kalayatur is an oasis in the desert, and it is also a trace of afterglow that the power of nature extends into the desert. There we saw ten camels and eight handymen in the camel caravan.
Bai Yier obviously had some concerns about her boss' superstition. She skipped the two numbers of fourteen (to die) and fifteen (to make mistakes), and directly designed the total number to sixteen (to be smooth).
I always feel that the number sixteen is better than that of eighteen (to be released), because what I want to be released is not only wealth, disease, fever, dizziness, and crazy. We are exploring a mysterious ruins, and nothing happens is much better than what happens.
It was already 1:30 p.m. Wen Tingxu and Bai Yier were talking in the distance, and Chen Yu stood beside me and looked coldly.
"Hey, there's something important." She suddenly said to me.
"ah?"
"When I'm not here tomorrow, you and Hua Yan should beware of those two followers, especially that Bai Yaer. Don't chat with her or something."
"...Are you planning ahead?" I couldn't help but laugh and cry and looked at Bai Yier for a few more times today, but I didn't expect that she would see it in her eyes long ago.
"Do you think I'm jealous?" Chen Yu first blocked my doubts, "Have you heard of the prejudice effect of experimenters?"
"Why bring this up?" I didn't understand for a moment.
The experimenter's bias effect is similar to the Murphy's theorem he controls. In a laboratory, if you are the person who leads the experiment, if this experiment may lead to two results, one is A and the other is B.
And you have a wish in your heart, hoping that through this experiment, you will achieve the effect of A. So when you perform the experiment, you will easily tend to operate in the direction of A.
A professor once did an experiment, he tied a man to an electric chair and found several operators.
There is a table in front of the operator and a button on the table. If the button is pressed, the person on the electric chair will produce an electric shock reaction. The current is reasonably controlled. There will be no health damage to the subject, and it will only make him feel pain.
The professor found ten people, who could press the button or not, but the end result was that eight people pressed the power supply and heard the painful howls of people on the electric chair.
And what is the actual situation?
The real situation is that the person on the electric chair is the professor's assistant. The electric chair is not connected to any power supply. He just cooperates with the person who presses the button and makes a scream of pain.
This is an experimenter's prejudice. Obviously, for the operator, seeing the experimental subject react is much more interesting than seeing him indifferent.
So if you think about Chen Yu's words carefully, you will find that it is easy to understand, and it is difficult to understand whether she is worried that Bai Yaer is the one who pressed the button?
I was still confused by the monk, but it could be seen from Chen Yu's expression that she obviously had no interest in answering questions.
"How was the case of 'Stingy'?" I had to change the subject to break the embarrassment, "Are the girls next door murderers of Mrs. Peng?"
Chen Yu said coldly: "Of course not."
"Is Hua Yan true? Did the old lady often appear in their houses, and she had been to their houses on the morning of the incident?"
"Of course it's true. How could my sister make a mistake?" Chen Yu raised his head coldly.
"You two are weird enough. She calls you sister, and you call her sister, and she is at the age of tens of millions."
"Then she came to the world later than me. There is always someone who came first and then, right?"
I surrendered with both hands: "I understand, understand, why do the old lady always go next door? If they see those children sticking to the door, they should hate Peng Wenyan."
Chen Yu shrugged: "Lin Ying asked carefully, and then she realized the reason why Peng Wenyan had to go to that house."
“What’s the reason?”
"Because a girl in the house is the daughter of the old lady and her husband."
I was shocked. I really didn't expect this kind of relationship! Which girl was it?
Is it the one wearing a shirt or the three who are hanging on the sofa to play games? If it were the old lady’s daughter, why did Peng Wenyan die but she remain indifferent?
"It's not my biological son. After Peng Wenyan gave birth to Zhuang Yongxi, he divorced his father and remarried. His second wife's surname was Xue. He also brought a daughter with him, Xue Hui. Lao Xue is a truck driver. He died in a highway accident. He left his daughter to grow up with Peng Wenyan and understand this relationship, right?"
"I understand, but after all, it's Xue Hui who is raised by Peng Wenyan. Why doesn't she have any feelings for the old lady? Isn't this the biggest doubt?"
Chen Yu continued: "The relationship between mother and daughter has never been good. Peng Wenyan saves money everywhere and doesn't care much about Xue Hui's life or death. Xue Hui is not the tenant next door. She didn't want to go home during the summer vacation, but Peng Wenyan was afraid that she would spend money outside, so she called her to the dealer.
"As a result, Xue Hui became familiar with the three girls next door after a while. She didn't want to live in a garbage dump like the dealer, so she moved to the next door. She didn't occupy Zhuang Yongxi's house and didn't have to pay for it. Of course Peng Wenyan was willing.
"She was afraid that Xue Hui would spend money on ordering takeout, so she gave her food every morning, noon and evening. This is why she could go in and out at will."
"Don't the three girls next door hate her? Why can we tolerate her entering her house?"
"You're wrong," Chen Yu said, "because the girls don't hate Peng Wenyan at all. On the contrary, they still rely on her a little."
