Chapter 138: One for those who have no contributions

I don't know if my good luck has been exhausted, or if I have just been affected by the two of them, and in the next twenty minutes of carpet search, I didn't find a clue card!

It's not fair or scientific!

Time passed quietly, and at 11:35, it was almost the agreed meeting time.

Wen Tao appeared at the door very punctually, and said with a smile: "Xiao Yan, it's almost time, let's go to the dance hall to gather now!"

"Oh, good. "I was a little frustrated, like a kid who was heading to a candy house but had no money in his pocket.

"After discovering the pattern, the clue cards are still easy to find!" Wen Tao didn't notice my depressed mood for a while, and while walking towards the dance hall, he reported the results to me, and said: "I found a total of 18 clue cards, but unfortunately I don't have enough time, otherwise I might be able to find more ......."

"Oh......" What's worse than having no money in your pocket is that there is a rich second generation with a huge amount of money standing next to him!

This doesn't seem to be quite accurate?

But my strong inferiority complex that arises from comparison is real!

"Xiao Yan, what's wrong with you, why do you look so listless?" Wen Tao's mind was delicate, and he quickly saw that something was wrong with me, and comforted me: "Isn't it difficult, so you don't find much?" Seeing that I had a reaction, Wen Tao thought that he had guessed the reason, and continued: "Xiao Yan, it's okay, although you don't find much, it may be the most useful clue!"

I turned my head to look at Wen Tao with a bright eye, and said lightly: "But I didn't find a single ......."

Wen Tao: "......"

Soon, all six members of our treasure hunt team came to the ballroom as scheduled, and everyone reported the results of the first stage.

"Ah Fei and I are in charge of the first layer, I found 8 clue cards, Ah Fei found 6, a total of 14!" Mao Mao was the first to speak, his eyes full of excitement.

"Su Jin and I are in charge of the second layer, and I found 9 clue cards!" Mei Can also couldn't wait to invite credit: "I found that I and the dean really have a good heart, find one accurate!"

"Okay, Meimei, hurry up, I'll hear you more later!" Su Jin decisively interrupted Mei Can's tirade about to exit, and took the initiative to explain: "I only found 5 tickets, so Mei Mei and I also found a total of 14 on the second floor!"

"Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan, what about your third layer?" Mao Mao asked as she took Su Jin and Mei Can's loot and began to count the contents of the card.

"Xiao Yan and I are in charge of the third layer, and we found a total of 18 cards!" Probably afraid of my embarrassment, Wen Tao replied first, took out the 18 clue cards he found alone from his pocket, and sorted them out with Mao Mao.

"Wow, it's worthy of Xiao Yan and Wen Tao's seniors, their combat effectiveness is very good!" Mei Can didn't know the truth, and admired it with great admiration.

"No, people are men and women, and they don't get tired of working!" Su Jin also smiled ambiguously.

Me: "......"

It's obviously Wen Tao's combat effectiveness alone, okay, what does it have to do with me?

"Su Jin, it's not right for you to say that, Ah Fei and I are also a male and female match!" Mao Mao took the time to look up at Su Jin, who was standing and chatting, and muttered: "In order to improve efficiency, Ah Fei and I deliberately searched separately, but I didn't expect Xiao Yan and Senior Wen Tao to look for it together, and they actually looked for more......"

Me: "......"

Actually, we also looked for it separately!

However, should I clarify such a misunderstanding? If I take the initiative to clarify, wouldn't I want to tell you that I, who was envied and jealous by everyone, actually didn't bring back a single card, and I didn't have a contributor?

Misunderstanding, sometimes beautiful, isn't it?

……

Wen Tao and Mao Mao's movements were very fast, and a total of 46 clue cards had been sorted out and released according to their contents.

"Counted, a total of 46 cards, there are 3 with the word 'place', 3 with the word 'in', 3 with the word 'guest', and 3 with the word 'thought'. Mao Mao said while making notes on the notepad, and continued: "The next is to write 4 sheets of the word 'each', 4 pieces of the word 'brother', 4 pieces of the word 'person', 4 pieces of the word 'section', and 4 pieces of the word 'less'. ”

Everyone: "......"

"It's so complicated, I don't remember it at all!" Mei Can's originally excited expression froze and distorted when she heard the long list of clues reported by Mao Mao.

"I haven't finished talking just yet!" Mao Mao quickly wrote the last word on the notepad, and then looked up and said: "Finally, there are 5 pieces of the word 'one' and 9 pieces of the word 'different'!"

"So, although we found 46 clue cards, there are a lot of duplicate information?" Su Jin took Mao Mao's notepad and frowned: "Especially this 'different' word, there are actually 9 of them!"

"Repeating information......" Ah Fei chewed these words silently, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said: "I have a bold guess, I don't know if it's right." The dean once said that there are a total of 140 clue cards, could it be a sentence of 14 words, and then each word has 10 clue cards, so we will find 9 'different' words?"

All:!!!

It makes so much sense that there is no one!

It's just a mouthful, isn't it!

Ah Fei, why are you so smart!

"So, since it's a repetitive message, we can simply ignore the number of each word, just bring up each word, and reverse the order, and we can get the key hint of where the treasure is?"

"We have found a total of 11 words of 'place, in, guest, thought, each, brother, person, section, less, one, and different'!" Su Jin read out one by one according to the notepad.

"Out of a total of 14 words, we found 11 words, so it should be easy to guess the complete sentence!" Mei Can guessed optimistically.

"But these words are hard to put together, let alone sentences!" I went through the permutations and combinations in my mind over and over again, but unfortunately there was no progress.

"But no, it doesn't seem to make sense no matter how you put it together!" Mao Mao stared at the notepad at a loss and muttered, "Is this really a human sentence?"

"Mao Mao, you're talking nonsense again!" Ah Fei doted on Mao Mao's shoulders and laughed: "If this is not a human word, can it still be a book from heaven?"

"Maybe it's the 'Book of Heaven'!" Wen Tao, who had been thinking calmly on the side, suddenly said in a loud voice: "Maybe we thought wrong from the beginning, the hint is not 14 words at all, but 28 words, and each word will repeat the clue 5 times?"

"But doesn't the word 'different' appear 9 times?" Mei Can shook his head in disagreement and said, "This one alone is very contradictory!"

"No, it's not contradictory at all!" I quickly figured out the trick and explained: "If there are 2 'different' words in the 28 words prompted, then there will be a total of 10 clue cards for the word 'different', and we will find 9 of them, so it is not surprising!"

"That's right!" Wen Tao smiled gently at me and nodded with satisfaction: "28 words, combined with the fact that the dean was originally from teaching Chinese, what do you think these 28 words of prompt will be?"

"Seven Words Poem!" I blurted out, as if the veil of mystery had been lifted layer by layer, and I was finally about to get a glimpse of the true face of the treasure?

"It's so smart!" Wen Tao praised without hesitation, and continued: "And there will be two 'different' words in a seven-character poem, I think the range is very small!" Wen Tao frowned again and sighed: "I always feel very familiar, the answer is in my mouth, but I can't remember for a while, which poem is it?"

……

When the book is used, it is less hated!

Why didn't I study ancient Chinese well and memorize a few more Tang poems and Song lyrics?

Just as our treasure hunting team fell silent, the dean's voice sounded on the radio again: Students, it's 11:50 now, and there are still 10 minutes left before the game ends, please hurry up and win the treasure!

I'm really afraid of something!

This is like the exam when I was a student, every 15 minutes before the end of the exam, the invigilator will remind you: students, there are only 15 minutes left before the end of the exam, please fill in the answer sheet as soon as possible, and check whether the name and test number are written correctly......

If you're done answering the questions by this time, you won't feel much. And when you are still struggling to write, and there are still a few questions that have not been answered, the last kind reminder from the invigilator will make you upset and more nervous!

Just like us at this moment!

What came to my mind, though, was my joy at finding the only clue card, the anger at Shino's unceremonious snatching of the card from my hand.

And that card, I didn't seem to see it clearly, but it seemed that the first time I got it, I subconsciously glanced at it?

"That...... I once found one in the restaurant on the third floor, but unfortunately I didn't see it too clearly...... "I thought about it carefully in my mind, and said uncertainly: "The moment before I was snatched away by Xiao Xiang, I seemed to have caught a glimpse of the word "萸" on it?"

I really don't see it!

"Dogwood?" Wen Tao's tangled brows finally relaxed, and he took my hand and ran out, but said in his mouth: "Xiao Yan, we will discuss the matter of Xiao Yan snatching your clue card later, now, I will take you back the treasure first!"

Me: "......"

What's going on? Is the puzzle solved?

"Do you know where the treasure is?" I asked suspiciously, wasn't it just a moment when I was at a loss, and then a flash of inspiration struck?

"Yes, thanks to your most critical one!" Wen Tao held my hand unconsciously tightened, pulled me upstairs, and explained: "The dean's poem is Wang Wei's poem "Remembering Shandong Brothers on September 9th" by Wang Wei of the Tang Dynasty!"

"Being alone in a foreign land as a stranger, thinking of relatives every festive season. Brother Yaozhi ascended to the heights, and there was one less person in the dogwood?" I silently read this very familiar poem, and in my mind I corresponded to the clue cards we found with it. Sure enough, it all matched!

"I thought the words on those clue cards were very familiar, but I couldn't remember them for a while. Fortunately, you have found the word '萸' in '茱萸', this character is not common, except for Wang Wei's poem, which one could it be!" Wen Tao pulled me to speed up my pace and ran towards the top of the boat.

"Xiao Yan, I said a long time ago, what you found must be the most critical, and sure enough, I said it!" Wen Tao's gentle smile shone with pride.

Me: "......"

Why is Wen Tao's expression like a father who showed off my successful admission to the university?

"Then why do we keep climbing the stairs now, and where are we going?" slowed down slightly, and I finally had a chance to kick my breath, and hurriedly asked the biggest question in my mind.

"Let's go to the highest place of this ship!" Wen Tao raised his hand and looked at his watch, and said confidently: "Wang Wei's poem, 'Brother Ascending the Heights', reminds us that the treasure is at the highest point of this ship! It's 11:55, and the time is just right!"

Is the treasure really hidden at the top of this ship?

The secret of the treasure has been cracked by a few of us?
