Chapter 151

The room arrived, and the room was a little better than expected. When I opened the door, I was greeted with a damp musty smell.

The room is about [-] square meters, and there are large and small farm tools piled up in the room, as well as various barrels, sacks, parcels and so on.The room has a double bed and a single bed.To have a place to live, the three of them are already very content.

While wiping the dust in the house, Chen Xingyang asked Yu Fan: "Old Yu, do you think this old village chief is weird? Not only does he collect money directly like this, but he also pays with Alipay and WeChat, as expected. The personalities are different."

Yu Fan didn't take it seriously, and said: "Actually, this is normal. Although this is a legendary ghost village, in the Internet age, many things can no longer be considered with traditional thinking. Even many psychological effects are based on new things. And what happened, taking this village as an example, I think this is a typical "Internet celebrity effect". The more supernatural legends there are, the more it will attract people to hunt for novelties. In a sense, the sense of awe is overwhelmed by curiosity. It's a complete failure. There are so many people who come here for novelty, it's not surprising that people here have become 'hipster'."

Guo Na also added: "Yes, I have also heard a saying that the truly frightening thing is that we don't even know it is frightening. There should be nothing wrong with such a famous Internet celebrity ghost village." Yu Fan heard After coming out, Guo Na was still flustered, but he was still cheering himself up.

Chen Xingyang's nose was itchy from the dust that was swept up, he sneezed, and muttered to himself: "Hey? Who is thinking of me?" All three of them laughed.

Chen Xingyang asked Yu Fan again solemnly: "Old Yu, tell me, why are there so many superstitious people in this world?"

Standing at the door of the room, Yu Fan looked at the endless mountains and said, "Skinner's Operant Conditioning Theory."

Chen Xingyang was stunned again, and asked, "Old Yu? Please speak humanly."

Yu Fan disagreed and continued: "Skinner's operant conditioning theory can better explain the external reasons for the generation and maintenance of superstitious behaviors, that is, accidental interdependence makes individuals believe that certain behaviors will bring about certain results. After the superstitious behavior is formed, it is intermittently strengthened. Although the individual's single behavior is not necessarily accompanied by the reinforcement result, it is always possible to obtain the reinforcement result, which makes the individual unwilling to give up the effort to obtain the reinforcement result again. The internal psychology of superstition behavior generation and maintenance The reason can be explained by human instinct for meaning and attribution theory.”

Chen Frameyang shrugged, saying that I don't know what you are talking about.

Guo Na concluded: "That is to say, once you believe in the possibility of ghosts and gods, then you will continue to convince yourself that ghosts and gods do exist."

Yu Fan nodded: "Well, that's about it."

At this time, the two young men came to the room, and seeing Yu Fan standing at the door, they explained their purpose in strong dialect: "The village chief called us to bring things to make room for you." After speaking, the two of them went into the room to get some The hoe and the loader left.

One after another, people kept coming to the room to pick up things.Chen Xingyang also helped them to count things out.

As more and more things were taken away, Chen Jianyang opened the farm tools and found a relatively new metal bucket with a volume of about 20L. Chen Jiayang opened the bucket curiously, only Seeing that the inner wall of the barrel was covered with a white plastic bag, Chen Xingyang opened the mouth of the plastic bag, and saw that there were pieces of white solid inside, a bit like lilies.

Chen Xingyang didn't know what this was, maybe it was game from the mountains?He scraped open the sundries next to the bucket with his hands, revealing the label of the bucket, which reads "Gushi's". What is this?Never heard of it, is it delicious?While twisting a piece with his hand, Chen Xingyang was about to put it in his mouth to taste it, while asking Yu Fan and Guo Na: "What is brother's? Is it delicious?"

Guo Na yelled: "Brother Chen! Don't!!!"

Chen Xingyang was taken aback, and the piece of cloth in his hand fell to the ground.

Yu Fan walked towards Chen Xingyang angrily, patted Chen Xingyang on the head, and said, "Aren't you stupid? You dare to eat my brother's? Can it be packed in this bucket if it is really edible?" ?”

Chen Xingyang was still very puzzled, and said: "When I was a child, the lily slices and powder slices at home were all packed like this? Not only are they packed like this, but they are also tightly sealed, so I am afraid that we will steal them."

Guo Na explained to Chen Xingyang: "Brother's is not for food, this is caustic soda! The chemical name is sodium hydroxide, also known as caustic soda, caustic soda, white translucent flaky solid, with extremely strong alkalinity. .As basic chemical raw materials, it is widely used in papermaking, synthetic detergent and soap, viscose fiber, rayon and cotton fabrics and other light textile industries, pesticides, dyes, rubber and chemical industries, oil drilling, refining petroleum oils and refining Tar oil industry, as well as national defense industry, machinery industry, wood processing, metallurgical industry, pharmaceutical industry and urban construction, etc. It is also used in the manufacture of chemicals, paper, soap and detergent, rayon and cellophane, and processing bauxite Alumina is also used in mercerizing of textiles, water treatment, etc."

Chen Xingyang pretended to understand: "Oh, soda ash is very corrosive, I know, but what are they doing in the countryside?"

Guo Na first corrected Chen Xingyang: "Brother Chen, soda ash is not sodium hydroxide, soda ash is sodium carbonate. Caustic soda in rural areas is generally used for cleaning-related matters."

Chen Xingyang oh oh twice, took two steps back away from the elder brother, and continued to pack other things.

Guo Na shouted to Chen Xingyang again: "Brother Chen, you need to close the lid of the brother's and tighten it tightly. Have you never seen Conan? Sodium hydroxide will be absorbed quickly as long as you take it out and put it in the air." The water molecules become liquid and highly poisonous. In such a humid room, if you leave the caustic soda open, we will all be poisoned in less than half a day." Chen Xiangyang hurried over to cover the lid of the bucket, giggling twice.

Chen Xingyang was stunned by Guo Na's training these two times, and knowledge is power was fully demonstrated at this moment.

Seeing this funny scene, Yu Fan also burst out laughing, but Yu Fan felt something was wrong in his heart. "Geshi's" is of course sodium hydroxide, and it is not unusual to appear in rural areas.However, the name "Caustic Soda" is the Hong Kong transliteration of English (Caustic Soda), which is generally not called in the mainland, let alone the label on the barrel.

Where did this strangely called caustic soda come from?Will someone take it away later?What is its real function?

He looked at Chen Xingyang and Guo Na who were still playing around, and at the people who came in to get things in an endless stream.Yu Fan fell into deep thought.

　Horses are prone to stumble on soft ground, and people are prone to wrestling in sweet talk. - Geshi's
