Wen Boru didn't realize that I was mocking him at all at first, he looked smug, like a child who has been praised, shook his head and said: "This medicine of mine is called—" But when he said this, he immediately stopped, turned his head and glanced at the door, with a nervous expression, stopped talking, and asked Wen Baoyu: "Is your mother here?" Wen Baoyu shook his head, Wen Boru asked again: "Will she come?" Wen Baoyu shook his head again, Wen Boru was very irritable: "Don't just shake your head, talk!" Wen Baoyu looked very helpless, so he could only say: "Mom, she won't come."

Wen Boru was still dissatisfied, shaking his head while saying, "What I'm doing here, what I'm going to say to Mr. Wei later, don't let your mother know...Xiaobao, you go to the gate and guard it. If your mother should show up, yell at once." It is unbelievable that Mr. Wen Boru is so guarded against his wife. Of course Wen Baoyu didn't want to be the gatekeeper general, he said: "No need, why did Mom come here for no reason." Wen Boru was very annoyed: "If you are asked to do something, you just push back!" I couldn't help laughing and said: "Please don't worry, I'm sure the honored lady Lianjia will not come."

Wen Boru glared at me, and I said, "Your Madam is most afraid of me, seeing me is like seeing a ghost, where I am, she will never show up." I say this, in fact, idiots can also know that I am "making nonsense", the purpose is just to save Wen Baoyu from the siege.But Wen Boru immediately looked at me with a look of extreme envy and admiration, as if being able to scare Mrs. Wen was the greatest and most remarkable thing in the world. He looked at me for a while, and then said: "It's good that she doesn't come!" He said it twice in a row and asked me, "Where did we go just now?"

This time not only I couldn't help laughing out loud, but even Wen Baoyu couldn't stop laughing.This Mr. Wen Boru is far more henpecked than the famous Mr. Chen Jichang who was henpecked in history.There is a poem mocking Ji Chang for being afraid of his wife. The poem goes: "Suddenly I heard the roar of the lion in the east of the river, and my heart was at a loss when the stick fell to the ground." Now Wen Boru didn't hear any voice from Mrs. Wen at all, just thinking of her appearance, he was so dazed that he even forgot what we talked about just now! Although I admit that Mother Wen is indeed quite scary, but it is not to this extent, it is too much.

I don't want to cause extra problems, so I don't discuss this issue with Wen Boru, but just said: "Just now we mentioned that this soup can make people fall asleep." As soon as the decoction was mentioned, and when he mentioned his wife, Wen Bo was like a different person. He immediately spoke lively and gestured: "Of course, that's why I named it 'Black Sweet Soup'. This decoction is used for forty-nine The flavored medicinal materials are taken from the number of Dayan, and then the black mulberry from the century-old mulberry tree and the old pagoda tree nectar collected by the head bee are used as the guide, and the meaning of the harmony of yin and yang is used to lure people to sleep, and the effect is like a god."

What needs to be added is that after Wen Boru mentioned the forty-nine medicinal materials, he recited all the names of the forty-nine medicinal materials in one breath, and his proficiency and fluency made people dumbfounded. I took a breath, and at this moment I didn't dare to look down on him any more, and I asked, "We were just... drugged, and slept all afternoon──" Wen Boru laughed loudly: "If I hadn't used 'Xingshen Powder' to wake you up, as long as the black sweet soup is boiling and the medicine gas rises, you will always be in the hometown of black sweet, and you will never come back. Even if you take it away After eating the black sweet soup, you should sleep at least three times!"

Although I had no intention of contempt, but after listening to it, I shook my head involuntarily, unable to believe it. Wen Boru used weird words when he spoke. When he was sleeping, he didn't say sleep, but "in the land of black sweetness". It's pretty weird.I smiled and said: "There is a poem by Su Dongpo: After three cups are soft and full, a pillow of dark sweetness remains. It seems that this decoction can make people live in the dark land for a long time without needing three cups." I imitated his way of speaking, and it really pleased his appetite. He smiled happily and said: "Three cups are worth it, just one drop, one liter of boiling water, and one more drop, can make people fall asleep for a while. "

The so-called "one correct time" refers to twenty-four hours. I glanced at Wen Baoyu and made a face, which meant that his father's exaggeration was far above his. Wen Boru was not stupid at all, so he saw that I didn't believe his words, and added: "The ancients often slept for a long time. I started by studying the records of ancient people's long sleep, and invented this black sweet soup." I have no intention of discussing with him any further. First, I have no knowledge of Chinese medicine. Second, if he asks me to try it, it will be even less fun.So I wanted to end here, so I said in passing: "This soup is so effective, if it can be bottled and sold, it will become popular all over the world."

There was nothing wrong with this sentence, but when Wen Boru heard it, he jumped up as if seeing a ghost! He looked extremely nervous and shouted, "Who told you this?" I didn't know how to answer his idiot-like question for a while.Wen Baoyu was on the side, but he couldn't see it, and said: "Everyone can think of this, why should anyone tell him." Wen Boru looked at Wen Baoyu, then at me, still full of doubts, and asked Wen Baoyu, "Did you tell your mother what happened here?" Wen Baoyu sighed: "You told me never to tell my mother, how dare I mention half a word!"

After Wen Boru heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said to me in embarrassment: "I'm just afraid that if she finds out, she will definitely force me to hand over the prescription to do business, so she must never let her know." .” This made people even more inexplicable——his family owned a pharmacy from their ancestors. With such good medicine, why couldn't they sell it? Originally, I only felt that Wen Boru was a strange person, but now I am sure that this person has a problem with his mental state.I have already planned to tell Wen Baoyu my conclusion after leaving here, and ask Wen Baoyu to find a doctor for his father.

When I thought this way, Wen Baoyu also frowned, but Wen Boru's behavior was normal after that. He obviously wanted to avoid my further questioning, so he adopted the method of "using other words" and suddenly diverted After changing the topic, he said, "Who are you driving here?" I was so angry and funny, his actions were extremely naive, although I was very surprised why he didn't want to continue discussing this issue, but I didn't ask, because I didn't want to force you to stay here, and Wen Boruran was not someone to talk to for a long time.Apart from traditional Chinese medicine, it seems that there is no other topic with him, and I also want to make a quick decision, and leave after figuring out what he has to say to me. Neither Wen Baoyu nor I answered his childish question, I said: "Your Excellency wants to see me, what advice do you have?" Wen Boru hurriedly said: "Don't dare to take it seriously, Your Excellency recently had a story called "I've read it, and I want to tell you something." Hearing these few words, Wen Baoyu and I were dumbfounded, because no matter what we both thought, we would never have imagined that Wen Boru wanted to meet me to discuss the story I described with me. Even when I heard Wen Boru say this at this time, I still couldn't believe it.I think if I were to list the three most irrelevant things in the world, the stories I described and Wen Boru must be among them. And he actually asked Wen Baoyu to bring me to talk just to discuss this story. Although this matter is not thrilling at all, it is unbelievable to the extreme. I didn't know what was going on at all, the first thing I thought of was that Wen Boru's nerves were abnormal, that's why this happened. So my reaction was to look over at Wen Baoyu.Wen Baoyu obviously didn't think that his father wanted to see me for this purpose, so he shook his head at me, and at the same time he explained why his father would know my story, he said: "I brought a few things with me when I came last time. I forgot to take this book with me when I left, and it contains your story, Dad must have read it this time?" He asked his father the last question, and Wen Boru nodded: "Exactly. Three of them are Mr. Wei's stories. I have nothing to do, so I randomly picked one and flipped it. It happened to be the other two. When I read that kind of nonsense, I won’t watch anything else, so I won’t see it.” These words made Wen Baoyu hold his head in his hands, afraid that I would not beat his father and deal with him after I got angry.And I really don't know how to react, it fits the description of "angry and funny", and I feel that there is something wrong with Wen Bo, so there is no need to argue with him, on the contrary, I appreciate his frankness── Although it is nonsense to tell my other stories, at least there is something for him to discuss with me. So I collected my mind and answered like this: "It's not easy to make Mr. Wen read other books besides the medicine book. What's your opinion on this story?" Wen Boru's appearance didn't look like he was joking at all, he said, "What you said in this story is true." I was stunned for a moment, unable to understand what he meant by that. Wen Baoyu reacted earlier than me, mainly because he was very interested in this story. He once said that the situation in this story was "enjoyable even to think about it", so when he heard what his father said, he was very interested and hurriedly said: : "How can Dad be sure that this is really the case?" Wen Boru replied immediately: "I have seen it." Since the tone of his answer was so affirmative, I couldn't help but be moved!Because the stories described in the book are very peculiar. Friends who have been exposed to this story and understand the content of the story, I believe they will have the same reaction as me after hearing Wen Boru's words. In this story, the most important thing is to describe a phenomenon of "thought reversal".This phenomenon is formed by a certain kind of alien power, and it is mainly aimed at the evil thoughts of the earth people.That is to say, when people on the earth have evil thoughts and are guided by evil thoughts to commit evil behaviors, mainly to infringe and hurt others, the thoughts will be reversed. It sounds complicated, but it is easy to understand with an example: When a robber stabs the victim with a knife, the robber's behavior is guided by his thoughts. When his thoughts are reversed, it is exactly the opposite of the original intention. The robber's intention to kill others became that he wanted to kill himself, so the result was that he slashed at himself with a knife. This is a small example, but there can also be a big example of a reversal of thinking: when the brutal ruler wants to suppress the people and brazenly orders the use of tanks and machines to shoot and kill unarmed ordinary people, a reversal of thinking occurs, and as a result, the use of machine guns The bullets shot at the ruler instead, and the tracks of the tanks flattened the ruler instead! This is what Wen Baoyu said, "It's fun to think about it." It’s really enjoyable to think about it—under the circumstances that there is power to reverse evil thoughts, all acts of infringing and hurting others will immediately become criminals and hurt themselves. This kind of retribution that comes immediately is much better than waiting for God to give him retribution at an unknown time after the gangster has done something bad. In this situation where the evil thoughts are reversed, there will be no more evil acts of infringing and harming others, and only in this situation will there be real peace on the earth, and people on the earth can join the ranks of advanced creatures. ranks. Although Bai Su had a slight objection to my conclusion, she said: If people on earth rely on external forces to control their minds in order to avoid crimes, they cannot be regarded as advanced creatures. And what I mean is that thinking reversal can make criminals eat their own fruits without exception. Heinous murderers all kill themselves, and those who hurt others also hurt themselves. Over time, people on earth will naturally know that they can't do anything that violates and hurts others. Things, although initially controlled by external forces, after a process of evolution, people on earth can still hope to become advanced creatures. Bai Su has no objection to this, but just sighs: "That kind of foreign power has appeared before. I don't know if it is finally disappointed with the people on Earth, so it left again." I said: "We haven't completely left, we can still work hard to find and get this power back." It is not entirely unfounded for me to say this.In the movie, in Panama, three robbers tried to kill innocent people in the process of robbing a bank, but they killed themselves. There was another group of robbers who wanted to block the way and rob an expedition, but in the random shooting, they also turned into killing each other, and all of them suffered retribution. After investigation, it was discovered that this incredible behavior of the robbers was the result of an external force that reversed their thinking, and it was found that this force came from a mysterious flying object in the sky. Our speculation is that this force is still happening by accident now. The spaceship in question has lost control, and may have been abandoned by the original owner, but the ability to generate power is still there. With the cooperation of some celestial phenomena (thunder and lightning), it will suddenly work, causing the perpetrator to reverse his mind and reap the consequences. . Of all my queer experiences I feel that this one is the most significant.Not to mention that human beings can evolve into advanced creatures and communicate with other advanced creatures in the universe. Just because of this, there will be no more crimes of infringing and harming others between people, and it is possible to imagine the life of human beings. How wonderful it will be. It's really fun to think about it! So after that, I never gave up and continued to pursue it, hoping to have further development, and I did a lot of things because of this, but unfortunately I didn't get any results. And at this time, hearing what Wen Boru said, although I didn't feel that Wen Boru could provide any real help, I was still very interested in hearing what he had to say.Because if this matter can be successful, it will have a great impact on human life, and there is a one-in-a-million hope that should not be let go. So when Wen Baoyu and I were shocked by Wen Bo's sudden words and regained our composure, we couldn't wait to ask, "Have you seen it?" When we asked this question, he thought that the incident was similar to what happened in Panama. He had seen bad guys reap the consequences on the spot when they did evil. But what Wen Boru said next made us feel like we were flying through the clouds, not knowing where we were. Wen Boru first confirmed his statement, and said, "Yes, I have seen it." Then he continued: "That place was originally full of sin..." When he said this, he shook his head and sighed: "In fact, every corner of the earth is full of evil!" After speaking, he finally didn't continue to exert himself, and continued: "When I got there, the situation just started to change—" Please note that the following is Wen Boru's narration in long paragraphs. After a certain degree of simplification, I will write it down. During his speech, Wen Baoyu and I both asked a lot of questions, and I have selected the main ones to describe below. I put brackets around these questions and Wen Boru's responses to avoid confusion. And when Wen Boru was talking, the situation he said was weird, and what he said was not systematic, and after I sorted it out, it might still be quite messy.But fortunately, everything he said did not depart from the scope of the phenomenon of "thought reversal", so it should not be difficult to understand. After Wen Boru said "the situation has just started to change", he paused, and then suddenly said: "Let me talk about the original situation of that place first." I wanted to ask him to make a long story short, but Wen Baoyu obviously understood his father's habit of speaking, so he pushed me and shook his head to me, motioning me not to disturb. I didn't say anything more, it was already dark at this time, Wen Baoyu turned on the light, and made tea again, Wen Boru held the teacup Wen Baoyu handed to him with both hands, with a very satisfied expression, and began his narration. He said: "That place was originally full of crimes. There were all kinds of crimes. The social security was extremely poor. People died every day from various forms of murder, violent robbery, injury, etc. It was commonplace. Weak The safety of women and ordinary women is even less guaranteed. Women from six to eighty years old will be violated by perverts and bestial rapists, some will be killed, and some will become missing persons. The police The number keeps increasing, and the prisons are full of criminals of all kinds. Although the laws are perfect and strict, they cannot suppress the crimes of the wicked. What is even more frightening is that criminals cannot be prevented because they have no signs to follow before committing crimes. , Puyu people had no choice but to become victims of criminals. The so-called "civilized society" that has evolved over thousands of years is actually no different from the virgin forest. Robbery, if you resist, you will die!" The more Wen Boru spoke, the more excited he became. His words certainly sounded quite scary, but I didn't feel anything special.Because the situation he mentioned is the general situation of human society on the earth at present—there are tens of thousands of cities on the earth composed of human society, each of which is like this, without exception, and the people on earth live in such a state. So it's not surprising. And if we look at it from the point of view of "the strong prey on the weak", crimes such as robbery, robbery, rape of women, various murders, etc. are nothing but petty crimes.There is also a larger-scale act of cannibalism, which is being carried out openly.For example, profiteers who form a large business group can infringe and plunder the weak and harm the weak far more than ordinary robbers.And to reach the peak, of course, it is a powerful rule maintained by the army and the police under various banners, but the principle remains the same.Under the rule of power, all kinds of evil deeds are even carried out in the name of the law, and black and white are reversed to the extreme. In comparison, the situation in the place Wen Boru mentioned is not the most terrifying situation in human society. So although he spoke very excitedly, I was a little impatient, drank tea loudly on purpose, and stood up again. Wen Boru glared at me, and continued: "When I went to that place, everyone and all the media were discussing a strange thing. The strange thing happened at midnight three days ago. It's a pity that I didn't experience it personally, but since Everyone said so, and it can be believed that this unbelievable strange event did happen three days ago." (Hearing this, I couldn't bear it any longer, and asked loudly: "What is the strange thing, please tell me right away.") Wen Boru waved his hand to me, signaling not to interrupt. He said: "The strange thing is that at midnight three days ago, everyone in that place heard what a voice from nowhere said." (I just heard him say these two sentences, and I couldn't help shaking my head. These two sentences sound very simple, not profound. But in these two simple sentences, everything is contrary to reason and logic, and there is no reason at all. It cannot be established. After listening to it, people suspect that they are in a mental hospital.) (Just a little thought and you can see that "everyone hears" is already very problematic, because since it's "midnight" many people must be asleep and it's impossible to hear anyone talking. And Saying that I heard someone talking, but "don't know where the sound is coming from", it's even more incomprehensible to the extreme!) (I glanced at Wen Baoyu, who happened to be looking at me too, and asked in a low voice, "Do you know what he's talking about?") (I replied: "I can recite what he said backwards, but I don't know what he said.") (Wen Baoyu smiles bitterly.) Wen Boru continued, and the words became more and more outrageous: "No one knows who said what they heard, they only know that the voice is authoritative and solemn, so although they don't believe what they heard at all, they still believe it- -" Hearing this, I couldn't bear it anymore, Wen Baoyu was obviously afraid that his father would be more embarrassed if I had an attack, so he rushed to say: "Dad, what nonsense are you talking about!" Wen Boru was uttering outrageous words with a serious expression, but Wen Baoyu interrupted him all of a sudden, and he was taken aback, as if he couldn't turn his head around for a while, and didn't know how to react. Wen Baoyu looked very sad, obviously he also saw that his father's mental state was not very normal, he walked towards his father and said: "Dad, I see... don't say anything more, Mr. Wei is very busy, don't waste his time── " Wen Baoyu had already said it very tactfully, so I took the opportunity to be honest and blunt and nodded my head, clearly expressing my agreement with Wen Baoyu's words, thinking that Wen Boru would understand and let us go—I really don't know what he will say if he continues Come. It is too much to ask us to continue listening to the words "I don't believe what I hear, but I still believe it"! Unexpectedly, he didn't look at me at all, and stared at Wen Baoyu, very angry, and reprimanded: "Stop talking nonsense! Mr. Wei is pursuing something that has no results. I can use my personal experience to provide him with valuable information. Every word I say is extremely important to him, what is he busy with, and why he doesn't have time to listen to me!" I was on the sidelines, feeling ridiculous and extremely embarrassed.Their son said that I was talking nonsense, and the father said that my son was talking nonsense. It was none of my business who was talking nonsense, but I just wanted to listen to it. I really suffered innocently. Wen Baoyu turned his head and smiled wryly at me, so I had no choice but to smile wryly at him too. Wen Boru took a few sips of tea before calming down, and apologized to me: "The kid is talking nonsense, Mr. Wei, please don't be offended." I had no choice but to say: "Xiao Bao is not a child anymore." Wen Boru glared at his son, although his expression seemed to imply that "children are really ignorant", but his eyes were full of concern. This kind of father-son affection was definitely not faked. Feeling helpless, I made a gesture to Wen Baoyu, saying that if you come, you will be at ease, and let him continue talking. Wen Baoyu looked extremely grateful and almost didn't kowtow to me on the spot. After Wen Boru finished his tea, he continued to speak, and only after hearing him say a few words, Wen Baoyu and I were shocked and hesitated, not knowing what to do. What Wen Boru continued to say was actually not earth-shattering at all. What he said was: "One night earlier, I was driving at night, and suddenly there were three people on the road, blocking the middle of the road, so I had to stop—" He actually completely forgot the topic just now, and Wen Baoyu and I wanted to stop him when he talked about completely irrelevant things, but with the experience just now, I am afraid that the more we stop things, the worse things will be, so the only thing we can do is to continue to smile wryly . Wen Boru didn't know what was wrong with him at all. After he said that there were three people blocking the road, he said a lot of fear in his heart and didn't know what to do. Then he said: "When the car approaches, I will Seeing that these three people didn't look like bad guys, I stopped the car and let them get in." According to what Wen Boru said, in the middle of the night, there were no other vehicles and people waiting on the road, and he allowed three strangers to get into the car. It was really difficult to assess how dangerous this behavior was. Wen Baoyu was a little nervous, and swallowed a mouthful of water involuntarily. Wen Boru continued: "These three people got into the car, one sat next to me, and the other two sat behind me. When they got into the car, I met them face to face, and I immediately felt at ease, because although bad guys won't show their faces Lettering, but whether a person is good or bad can always be seen from his appearance." (I thought to myself, Wen Boru's method of judging people's hearts by their appearance is really a typical example of death without knowing how to die. It is a miracle that a foolish person like him can still live.) (At this time, I also risked it all. No matter what Wen Boru said, I just listened to it and didn't intend to delve into it at all.) (Unexpectedly, Wen Boru went on to say that the incident of "three people getting into the car" was actually connected with the strange incident where everyone heard someone talking in that place in the middle of the night. This is really unexpected.) (Things are so unpredictable!)
