Chapter 396: Five Books
Chapter 396 Five Books
Actually, Ji Ran is looking in the right direction. Ji Xunge did leave something behind. Clues are also those clues, yes. It's just that it's not those five books, it's another book. The key is for Ji Ran to understand the meaning of these five books together.
So she couldn't find anything at all when she searched for them one by one, but in vain. On the contrary, if she didn't eat because she was looking for something in the book, it would attract Cao Mo's attention. If you don't eat one meal, it's nothing, and if you don't eat two meals, the housekeeper won't be able to watch it first.
The butler felt the temperature of the bowl with the back of his hand, which was obviously cold. looked at Ji Ran, who was reading on the bed, and had no intention of getting up to eat at all. He shook his head and went out with his cold dinner. Reheated it and then turned back again.
This time, the housekeeper did not put the dinner plate on the table, but directly held the plate and came to Ji Ran. However, because Ji Ran was too serious about "reading", he didn't notice the arrival of the key at all.
Seeing this, the butler's brows furrowed even more. Turning his head to the side, he cleared his throat and said, "Miss, no matter how interesting the book is, you can always spare a little time to eat." If these things don't suit your taste, just say it. If you can, we'll prepare something for you. But now, you haven't eaten a meal, even if you don't have an appetite, you can eat a little more. ”
"Put it down, I'll eat." Ji Ran replied without raising his head. After speaking, he still buried his head in the book, and his eyes kept shooting.
"Miss, I advise you to eat it when you can. Otherwise, let the young master know that it is you who suffers. The housekeeper stood motionless, reminding Ji Ran with a serious expression.
The housekeeper's sentence of "let the young master know" finally woke up Ji Ran. It's easy to say anything else, but it just can't arouse Cao Mo's suspicion. How could she forget that her every move was under the watchful eye of others. Cao Mo's suspicion was so heavy, if he noticed something, then he would no longer be able to study it.
Ji Ran, who realized this, hurriedly raised his head, and his fingers were clipped to the page he had just read. He raised the corners of his mouth and said gratefully: "Thank you for the reminder, I'll eat now." It's so interesting that I haven't read it before, so I'm fascinated by it. ”
"Really? Miss, didn't you say that you have read the book here a few times. Do you want us to remember to change the book? The butler asked suspiciously. For him, Ji Ran is still Ji Xunge. And after Ji Ran became Ji Xunge, this was the first time in five years that he was sent here. Of course, the housekeeper's impression of "Ji Xunge" only existed five years ago.
Originally, the housekeeper found out that he was different from the usual, and Ji Ran should be worried. But this problem for housekeepers. She has a better answer to answer. Moreover, even if he went to Cao Mo afterwards, I am afraid it would not arouse any suspicion. Because, her standard answer is that she was in a car accident and she doesn't remember most of the things.
"Because of the aftermath of this car accident, I always forget what books I have read and what books I have not read. Sometimes there is often a situation where I am very familiar with a book, and I can even guess the plot in the future. When I asked, I found out that this book was something I had read before. Alas. You say it's funny. Ji Ran deliberately made up such a reason and laughed.
"The eldest lady has suffered." The housekeeper heard Ji Ran mention the car accident, coupled with such a self-deprecating joke, he naturally relieved his doubts. There is even some distress in the words.
"It's okay, I'm used to it. Then I'm eating, do you want to accompany me? Ji Ran asked with a smile along the steps.
"No need, the eldest lady will eat first, and I'll collect it after eating." The butler politely refused and left the room. Cao Moke has explained, don't talk to her more if you have nothing to do. Eating with her is even more impossible.
Ji Ran saw that the housekeeper left without waiting for her to answer, so he had no choice but to shrug his shoulders and clip the bookmark on the page he had just seen. After putting the book away, I got out of bed and moved around and gobbled up my dinner. Throw the empty bowl aside and return to the bed again. Sit and read with a book. Just finished eating and went to bed, Ji Ran didn't indulge himself so much.
Ji Ran just started to read a few pages, and the housekeeper came in and took away the empty bowl. The time difference in between is simply the time it takes for the housekeeper to go from watching her room to her room. Ji Ran also knew that this time was the time when the housekeeper monitored him the most, and he pretended not to see anything, and even didn't say a word and only cared about his own reading.
Soon. The last book was also read by her. But no clues were found. Ji Ran threw the book aside in disappointment and headache. Rubbing his sore neck, he lay down on the bed. Staring at the ceiling, his face was expressionless, but his heart was full of sorrow.
Five books, "The Biography of Nan Ke Taishou", "Pride and Prejudice", "Huaisu's Autobiography", "Alice in Wonderland" and "The Gadfly". Since there are no clues in the book, the only way to find a connection between them is to find them. But what exactly is the connection between them?
"The Biography of Nan Ke Taishou", Nan Ke A Dream, Philosophy. Pride and Prejudice, Love, Class, Reality. "Huaisu Self-Narrative Post", cursive, calligraphy, iron painting silver hook. Alice in Wonderland, fairy tale, children. "The Gadfly", struggle, faith, sacrifice.
I still can't beat it!
"It's all books? Are they all masterpieces? It's all written by people? ”
Hehe, Ji Ran thought about it, and his thoughts seemed to start to deviate to an abnormal track.
"What the hell is going on? Five books, divided into five lines, if not meaningless writing. That must be to treat these books as coded texts. If it's a password, then you have to know which decryption method is. I can't look so aimlessly. If you want to decrypt it, you can only know what method Ji Xunge used to encrypt it. ”
"Although she is Cao Mo's sister, she shouldn't have learned any Morse code so coincidentally. Moreover, she must have left this one so that people could discover the secret she was hiding. The password that Cao Mo understands will definitely be discovered. But Cao Mo doesn't know what password? If he doesn't understand, will I understand? Alas, I only expect Ji Xunge's thinking pattern to be similar to mine, so that I can quickly guess what the books she left behind mean. ”
"Nan Ke a dream, arrogant, Huaisu, Alice, gadfly...... South, pride, love, cow...... Nan Ao loves cows? Hard, love cows? Hiss - Is this a book? It's not a sentence like that, is it? Ji Ran recalled the five books in Ji Xunge's notes in his mind, and repeatedly recited their titles, but he still frowned and couldn't think of a reason. (To be continued.) )
