Chapter 398 Scientific Fortune Telling
Back home in the afternoon, Ning Xuehua was cooking in the kitchen.Lu Yiming took a deep breath, leaned forward with joy and said, "It smells so good! Mom, what did you cook tonight?"

Ning Xuehua, who was busy cooking, didn't have the time to look back, but she still smiled happily after hearing her son's voice: "Fried eel section, wash your hands first, you'll have something to eat soon. That's right, this It’s a few days before Chinese New Year, why are you running around?”

Hearing his mother's question, Lu Yiming had no choice but to sigh and say, "It's not about the pirated version."

After cooking, Ning Xuehua wiped her hands, and began to ask about this matter with concern: "How is it? Is it troublesome?"

Lu Yiming shook his head: "No trouble, your son is smart, so I don't see any trouble. It can be dealt with right away, just a little twist."

"You can handle it yourself."

The meal was served, and the family ate while watching TV.

News from Guangdong Province is being shown on TV.

"Today, our city has just cracked a case of counterfeit and sold electronic products. A total of 4000 counterfeit and shoddy USB flash drives were seized, and the amount involved was as high as [-] million yuan... The criminals Liu and Lin have both been arrested and brought to justice..."

Lu Ding said in surprise: "This matter has been quite violent these days. Counterfeit and shoddy USB flash drive? Is this caught?"

Lu Yiming said with a smile: "If you want people not to know, unless you do nothing, it's normal to be arrested."

Lu Ding said: "Is the Liu mentioned on TV the same Liu Qian you mentioned earlier?"

"Correct."

Lu Ding sighed and said, "Oh, this person doesn't know what he thinks. The good gold medals were sold improperly, and he had to go to break the law and commit crimes. Now it's nothing to do with fetching water from a bamboo basket, and he even put himself in prison. It's his own doing." I can't live."

"Greedy is not enough to swallow elephants. In fact, if he hadn't resigned, it is estimated that his position and salary can be upgraded to another level. In two years, with the growth of the company's performance, his annual salary of one million is nothing. I can only say Fainted by profit, he has to do stupid things himself."

Lu Yiming also shook his head and sighed, Liu Gan was capable, but he was too ambitious, and he ended up hurting himself.

On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, the cold wind howled, but the third year of high school had officially started.

After all, there is less than half a year left before the college entrance examination, so we should hurry up and hurry up.

Lu Yiming met Shi Qingxue at the school gate, today she was wearing a light blue wool cap, which not only wrapped her head tightly, but also covered her ears.

But even so, her delicate face was still flushed red from the cold.

"Lu Yiming!"

Shi Qingxue greeted this way from a distance, and then trotted over.

Seeing her jumping up and down, Lu Yiming couldn't help laughing: "Run slower, don't fall."

"Lu Yiming, have you finished your winter vacation homework?"

"What winter homework?"

Lu Yiming slapped his forehead: "Oops, I forgot about such a thing!"

After entering the classroom, not long after Lu Yiming sat down, Li Quanwang also came.

This kid had two thick dark circles under his eyes, and he directly shocked Lu Yiming: "Hold the grass, why did you become such a ghost?"

Li Quanwang said: "I didn't do my homework during the winter vacation, so I shouldn't copy it overnight. I didn't finish it until the morning."

Then he took out another copy and threw it on the table: "This is yours. Seeing you running around all day, you can tell that you must have not done your winter vacation homework. I will copy it for you."

Lu Yiming was overjoyed, wishing he could hug this guy and kiss him: "Wang Zai, I love you so much!"

"roll."

Li Quanwang pushed Lu Yiming away with disgust on his face, yawned weakly, and fell asleep on the table after a while.

During lunch, Shi Qingxue was still curious and asked Lu Yiming, "Several people in the class who didn't finish their winter vacation homework were detained. Why didn't you get detained by the head teacher? Didn't you not do your winter vacation homework?" "

Lu Yiming raised his eyebrows proudly: "Wang Zai copied it for me."

Shi Qingxue said with a smile: "No wonder he didn't look energetic this morning. It seems that he didn't have a good rest all day yesterday. It's all your fault."

Lu Yiming said straightforwardly: "Why am I to blame? If you copy my homework for me, wouldn't Wang Zai not have to copy for me? So you should be blamed."

"Hmph, you slacker, do your own homework."

Cao Jingwen said: "I just heard from the old class that the afternoon seems to be free. Why don't we go to the temple fair, it's very lively there."

Although people in later generations often say that the flavor of the New Year is gone, some traditional customs in Guangdong Province are still very well preserved, such as the lion dance in the Buddha Market, the flower market in Baiyun... and in the 90s, temple fairs are the most youthful memories for young people .

The temple fair is on Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street. There are many western buildings nearby. Many government offices and a cathedral are here. It is usually very lively, and it is crowded with people during the Chinese New Year.

Around a cotton candy machine, there were people watching the excitement.They watched the man pour the sugar into the machine, and then saw the sugar floating out like silk, and they felt extremely happy. Their eyes were full of surprise, as if they were watching a magician perform.

"Lu Yiming, cotton candy."

Shi Qingxue seemed like a child who hadn't grown up, squeezed into the crowd, and watched the master who made cotton candy dancing with great interest.

Lu Yiming said dotingly: "Then shall we buy one?"

"Okay, I want the pale pink five-pointed star."

"That's called blah blah energy..."

The three of them each bought a marshmallow and walked around while eating.

"Scientific fortune-telling, no money is not allowed..."

As they walked, Lu Yiming and the others were attracted by a fortune teller.

In comparison, it seems that little girls are more obsessed with these things than boys, such as tarot cards, and they play like a flower.After hearing the words scientific fortune-telling, Shi Qingxue and Cao Jingwen couldn't walk anymore, so they had to drag Lu Yiming over to have a look.

On the side of the road, there is a small table covered with a blue cloth, on which there is a folding fan, a compass, and a stick.

Next to the table, there is a banner with the words "Wu Banxian" written on it.

An uncle with a thin figure and strange features, wearing sunglasses, sitting upright.

Shi Qingxue and Cao Jingwen sat on the ponytail, and Cao Jingwen asked, "Your scientific fortune-telling, what kind of scientific method is it?"

Lu Yiming waved his hand in front of the man's sunglasses, Shi Qingxue asked, "What are you doing?"

Lu Yiming said lightly: "It's okay, I'll wear sunglasses today, I'll see if he's sick."

Then Wu Banxian said: "This young man, you can tell fortunes and solve fortunes. If you are sincere, you will succeed. Don't make trouble."

Then he said, "little girl, why don't we play with the smaller one first, or how about I guess your surname first? If I guess right, you give me five yuan. If I don't guess right, I don't charge."

Shi Qingxue said excitedly, "Okay."

Lu Yiming couldn't help complaining: "There are only a few surnames, just say them all, anyway, you don't pay if you make a mistake. Give me five yuan if you make a mistake if you have the ability."

Wu Banxian didn't pay attention to Lu Yiming's complaints at all, but hugged his sleeves, and immediately a deck of cards appeared in his palm, a total of eight cards, each with dozens of surnames on it, and there were numbers next to the surnames. He took the first card The card was given to Shi Qingxue and asked, "Is your surname on it?"

Shi Qingxue took a closer look and shook her head slightly.

Wu Banxian changed one and asked, "Does this have your surname on it?"

Shi Qingxue shook her head again after reading it.

Wu Banxian changed the third, fourth, and fifth again...

When it was the seventh one, Shi Qingxue said, "Just this one."

"it is good."

Wu Banxian put all the other cards aside, and put the one handpicked by Shi Qingxue in the palm of his hand.

Afterwards, he muttered something, and then slowly said, "Your surname is Shi, and the time is Shi, right?"

Shi Qingxue was amazed, and blurted out: "How do you know?"

The other fortune-teller asked all kinds of gags. In fact, the information he wanted to know had already been revealed by the fortune-teller unconsciously.But just now, this Wu Banxian never asked a decent question.

An inscrutable smile appeared on Wu Banxian's face, and the old god said, "I've said it before, I'm a scientific fortune teller."

Just like that, Shi Qingxue obediently paid five yuan.

Cao Jingwen, who didn't believe in evil, immediately stepped forward and said that she would also try it.

In the end, it was another one-pass operation, and five yuan was sent with both hands again.

The middle-aged man looked at Lu Yiming with a smile, and asked provocatively, "Young man, don't you want to try it? You don't want money."

Lu Yiming shook his head slightly, and said bluntly, "I won't try."

Both Shi Qingxue and Cao Jingwen were still unsatisfied, and they all persuaded Lu Yiming: "You try it. It's amazing. I want to see how he does it."

Lu Yiming smiled and said, "What's so difficult about it? It's just a small trick on the street. You like it."

When Wu Banxian heard what Lu Yiming said, he immediately became unhappy, and retorted: "Young man, I said that this is scientific fortune-telling, it is not a trick at all!"

As if to show his level, Wu Banxian directly handed all the cards in Lu Yiming's hands, and said, "Come on, if you think I'm doing something wrong, you can do it yourself this time."

Lu Yiming immediately received eight cards.

After a few glances, he had already seen the clue, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

Wu Banxian said: "How is it? Are you coming or not?"

Lu Yiming said leisurely: "You have eight cards, a total of 250 and five surnames..."

Hearing what Lu Yiming said, Wu Banxian's face changed slightly, and he reached out to grab the cards in Lu Yiming's hand.

Lu Yiming shrank back slightly, and said with a smile: "What are you in a hurry for? I haven't finished yet. You said you are not blind, are you wearing sunglasses because you are afraid that others will see your eyes?"

Shi Qingxue asked curiously: "Lu Yiming, do you know how to tell fortunes?"

Lu Yiming couldn't help curling his lips, and said: "The secrets of the heavens must not be revealed, how can fate be so easy to calculate? This is just a very simple question of permutation and combination. When playing games, he will show you the cards and ask you to answer them." Whether you have your surname on these cards is actually investigating the binary code of your surname."

"Once he knows the code name, he only needs to translate the code name back to calculate its decimal serial number, so as to accurately locate your surnames according to the 'surname comparison table'. The so-called scientific fortune-telling, To put it bluntly, it’s actually a math problem.”

As a senior coder, Lu Yiming is very familiar with binary and so on. The "fortune teller" in front of him actually played this with him, it was like playing tricks on the class.

Cao Jingwen still looked confused: "Then how did he position himself?"

Lu Yiming had no choice but to patiently explain to the two of them: "For example, Shi Qingxue's surname is Shi. When I asked about it with a B-type card, you said that your surname exists in the B1 card. Then I will show you the A-type card. , you pointed out that your surname exists in A1. At this time, did you find that I actually already know the surname, because this is the only solution. "

"In layman's terms, each surname has a two-digit code. After asking you twice, you will tell me everything. Therefore, other fortune-telling calculations with fingers and closed eyes are deceptive. In fact, he already knows the answer. .”

Lu Yiming demonstrated the theory just now to Shi Qingxue and Cao Jingwen again, and then said with a smile: "Binary is used, science is quite scientific, but it has nothing to do with fate. Destiny is always in your own hands In his hand. His kind is at best a puzzle game. So he told you at the beginning that sincerity leads to wisdom, just to ask you not to lie. For example, if your surname is on this card, and you say it is not, the result will be certain It’s wrong. At that time, he’s still throwing the blame, so you’re not sincere. They’ve already prepared an excuse, and they must have a reason no matter what.”

Wu Banxian was very unhappy seeing that he encountered a hard problem today, cursing and cursing, packed up his prayer flags, walked away against the table, and didn't even want the cards in Lu Yiming's hand.

Cao Jingwen remembered that she and Shi Qingxue were cheated out of ten yuan because of this thing, and immediately felt annoyed and wanted to chase after her to ask for the money, but was held back by Lu Yiming.

"Forget it, just treat it as playing a game."

Cao Jingwen said in pain: "How can we just forget it? Five yuan, you can eat a chicken drumstick rice!"

After hearing this, Lu Yiming couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Then I'll treat you to chicken drumstick rice later, it's okay, right?"

"This is fine, hee hee."

The three of them continued to visit the temple fair, and they also had a basic concept of the so-called fortune-telling in their hearts.

In fact, the development of any discipline starts with divination.Ancient priests invented writing to record inscriptions, numbers for counting, and physical chemistry for alchemy... The so-called history is the process of "going from god to man", which is not unusual in itself.
