Chapter 559 -511, Deciphering (Two in One Large Chapter)_2 Chapter 559 -511, Deciphering (Two in One Large Chapter)_2 Xiao Yeyang was completely at a loss, “So what?”
Daohua said, “Take another look at what I’ve written.”
Daohua copied down the characters from the piece of paper, but beneath each character she wrote, there were two sets of Arabic numerals.
Xiao Yeyang pointed at the numbers and said, “This is the language of foreigners, which I recognize.” While speaking, he looked at Daohua with surprise, “You also read books by foreigners.”
Daohua was silent for a moment, “… I don’t read them often, these numbers, I just think they’re convenient for recording, so I learned them. Anyway, let’s not dwell on these trivial matters.”
Xiao Yeyang held the piece of paper with Daohua’s copied writing in his hand, “What could these numbers represent? ”
Daohua said, “They could represent that it might correspond to another character.”
Xiao Yeyang glanced at Daohua, “How do we find out the other character?”
Daohua shrugged her shoulders, “I don’t know that.” Seeing Xiao Yeyang furrowing his brow, she thought for a while, then asked, “Do you know anything about Prince Ba?”
Xiao Yeyang shook his head, “After the emperor grandfather passed away, Uncle Prince Ba was sent by the emperor to guard the Imperial Mausoleum. He hasn’t returned to the capital for many years. Why do you ask?”
Daohua said, “I want to know about Prince Ba’s preferences, like what books he likes to read?” As she spoke, she called Wang Manman over to bring the newly acquired storybook “Dream of the Red Chamber” and personally demonstrated it for Xiao Yeyang.
“Look at this ‘good’ character, two sets of numbers, the first 3 might signify the page number, and the subsequent 3 might be the third character on this page, which, in ‘Dream of the Red Chamber,’ corresponds to the character ‘dai’.”
After finishing her explanation, she looked toward Xiao Yeyang, “Do you understand what I mean now?”
Xiao Yeyang’s eyes lit up with amazement, looking at Daohua with delight, “How on earth did you come up with this? How did you manage to discover it?”
Daohua held her chin up proudly. How did it come about? She learned it from watching television.
Xiao Yeyang quickly used the method Daohua described to find the corresponding characters for the remaining words in “Dream of the Red Chamber.” When linked together, they didn’t make any sense, but he couldn’t hide his excitement.
No matter what, this was a brand-new lead.
