Great Power Technology

Go back two days ago, a week after the ignition of Shenguang No. 4, in Guizhou, Yunwei County.

He Wenxuan is an honest and humble citizen. He runs a small funeral supplies store in this small county town. Although he is somewhat unlucky, he doesn't care about such things in order to make money.

He is a pure atheist and even a member of an organization. If he hadn't been admitted to the civil service after graduating from university, he would probably have reached the position of a minor leader in an official department by now.

Of course, he actually has nothing to complain about the current situation. Anyway, due to the special nature of the industry, maintaining a living is not a problem at all. His two sons and daughters have graduated from college, and he has no prejudice against his father's dead business. He will return home after the holiday. When we were at home, the family had even become accustomed to eating and chatting leaning against the coffin in the back room of the small store.

This made him very satisfied. After all, when he first started this business, he was worried that his children would look down on him when they grew up. After all, he had seen many similar cases, such as a father who refused to let his children ride a tricycle when they were in school. Pick him up from school or something like that.

But he didn't expect that his two children were more free and easy than him - probably this is also related to the education they received since childhood. In their view, business is business, no matter whether they are doing business with living people or dead people, the profit they make is Money is always spent on living people.

All in all, this is a family of materialists influenced by red culture. They do not believe in ghosts and gods, but they do business that is considered by the people to "deal with ghosts and gods."

In business, He Wenxuan would politely agree with his customers, and would enthusiastically recommend to them which kind of paper money was the best, and which kind of paper figurine could really be sent to the hands of his ancestors and old friends. However, when he turned around, he could not help but feel this way. This kind of behavior secretly slanders - people are dead, what's the use of spending so much money?

It is better to be filial and filial while you are alive.

What the hell, can they solve the world food crisis? Can controllable nuclear fusion be achieved?

They couldn't do it, but we Chinese people did.

Thinking of this, He Wendui felt a little proud. Although they had no chance to participate in related work, he felt honored when he thought that the taxes he paid on time every year were used in such a place.

This morning, he opened the shop early as usual, preparing to welcome his first customer.

In fact, the customers of this wedding shop are not as special as outsiders think. Except for the occasional design and funeral business, most of the people buy incense paper money for daily use - sacrifices, sweeps, and funerals. God, worship, and so on.

Therefore, most of the people who come here actually have a relaxed expression on their faces. They don’t need to take it too seriously. When they have nothing to do, they just read books and clean in the store. The day will pass quickly. .

"Master He!"

Just as he was leisurely sweeping the dust in front of the door, a crisp sound interrupted his movements.

He Wenxuan raised his head and saw a young man coming.

"Hey Shuanglin, you came quite early today."

This young man named Li Shuanglin is a villager from a village on the edge of the county. He does some aquaculture business at home. Their village has a strong sense of clan and the incense in the ancestral hall is constant all year round, so the procurement work falls on the year-round. On Li Shuanglin who wanted to go in and out of the county.

"Yes, we are selling turtles early today. I brought one for you. Take it home and fry it. It tastes great!"

He Wen did not refuse, he directly took the soft-shelled turtle from the opponent's hand, and then said:

"Then I won't be polite to you anymore. I'll just make up for your ancestor's consumption today."

Logically speaking, the price of Li Shuanglin's purchase of incense paper is at least five to six hundred. Compared with the price of this soft-shelled turtle, it is definitely not cost-effective, but business is often just a matter of favor - even in this industry No exception.

"What's the matter? You have to give what you have to give. Just give me a discount next time you go shopping during the Qingming Festival!"

Li Shuanglin said while taking out the list from his arms and handing it to He Wendui.

He Wendui took the list, which was densely written with the things he needed. The quantities were not large, but the types were very diverse. It took him a lot of effort to find everything. After everything was collected, he carried the things to Li Shuanglin's feet. He clapped his hands and said:

"We're all here, do you want some?"

"What else are you ordering? Master He, I'll give you the money."

"Why are you so polite! I already said I don't want it!"

"One code equals one code. By the way, Master He, it's quite cold in your store. The air conditioner must have been turned on too high today."

Hearing Li Shuanglin's words, He Wendui was stunned for a moment. After saying a few words to see him off, he looked at the air conditioner in the store that was not turned on and fell into deep thought.

In fact, this is not the first time that a customer has complained about the coldness in his shop. After many customers mentioned it, they said that Baishi shop has a strong yin energy. This statement made He Wendui laugh incessantly - the so-called "yin qi" is actually just... Because there are too many paper products in the store, to avoid the risk of fire, he always turns the air conditioner to a low setting.

However, it has now entered late autumn, and the temperature outside has begun to gradually drop. Since a week ago, he has not turned on the air conditioner. However, within this week, people still keep saying that his shop is cold.

What's going on?

He Wendai was in good health. He was used to being in a low-temperature environment, and he didn't feel cold for a while. When the previous guests said it, he only thought it was a psychological effect, but today Li Shuanglin's words made him feel cold. It made him wonder.

This kid, like himself, is a complete atheist - no, even if he is not an atheist, then he is still an "atheist", and he does not believe in the kind of strange things that mess with the gods.

even

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for him to have the kind of psychological effect caused by fear.

He Wendui frowned and walked out of the store. After standing for a few minutes, he walked in again. This time, he really felt the change in temperature.

A very obvious change, so obvious that even my exposed skin gave me goosebumps.

what happened? Forgot to close the refrigerator door?

He Wendi quickly walked to the living area in the back room of the store. The refrigerator in the small kitchen was tightly closed. Even here, the temperature was higher than in the front store - he could clearly feel the slight warm breeze.

Besides this, is there any other reason?

The upstairs of my store is a residential building, so it’s not like the people above have laid ice cubes on the ground, right?

Or maybe they forgot to turn off the refrigerator?

Until this moment, he still didn't want to think about the so-called "haunted" things that were most easily thought of. After thinking for a moment, he turned around and went out, went to the grocery store opposite and bought several thermometers, and then bought several thermometers in the store. There is one in every position.

It was too inaccurate to rely on the human body to feel it. He wanted to find out how such low temperatures came from.

But soon, he discovered that he bought the thermometer for nothing.

Because in a corner of the store, an unfinished bottle of water that he had left there a few days ago was freezing.
