Chapter 167: Solving Riddles

At this time, there was still some time before the moon rose, and there was plenty of time, so Mototo decided to figure out the riddle first, and then it was not too late to go to the beach. Yuan Dou took out his notebook, looked at Lian Yan, and decided that it was better not to look for Lian Yan now. Yuan Dou turned his head and said to Ye Xi, "Ye Xi, I still have one last problem that has not been solved, that riddle, I don't know if you have any ideas?" ”

Hearing Yuan Dou's words, Ye Xi came to Yuan Dou's side and looked at the riddle on the notebook with Yuan Dou. After looking at it twice, Ye Xi said: "This riddle seems to be quite easy to understand, the first sentence 'perfect moon' is the moon tonight." And 'Stars Shine' is talking about the beach tonight, right? ”

Yuan Dou nodded, and said with a smile, "I think so too, it seems that we want to go together." ”

Ye Xi learned Lian Yan's white eyes, and by the way, he rewarded Yuan Dou, and then said: "Basically, most people who have seen the scenery last night will think like this, right?" ”

"That's true, but you have to see it." Yuan Dou said. Ye Xi's eyebrows curled slightly, and Yuan Dou hurriedly said, "Forget it, I won't say it, you go on." ”

"I don't know if the word 'she' is translated accurately, but if it is correct, can I think that this moon refers to a person, and it is a woman?" Ye Xi said.

"And then?" This is something that Yuan Dou didn't pay attention to before, but he didn't expect Ye Xi to notice it.

"Compare the moon to a man." Ye Xi paused for a moment, then suddenly his eyes lit up and continued: "Or, is it someone under the moon?" Isn't that the reflection of the moon we saw in the water last night? So, does 'only prostrate' mean that we should lie down in the seat where the figure is? And 'I can only see a trace of poignancy' does not mean that people look around the figure, and the shadow can be seen in the afterglow, so a trace of poignancy is also said to have passed. ”

Ye Xi said his conjecture while thinking, and Yuan Dou listened carefully. However, hearing this, Yuan Dou felt a little different from what he thought, but he didn't interrupt Ye Xi's train of thought. Ye Xi continued: "And then the "inseparable" and "can't catch it" mean sea water? The figure was a reflection in the water, and the sea water was indeed inseparable and could not be grasped, so it seemed to be right to think about it. Chasing it, sinking deeper and deeper, does it want us to swim into the sea? Does 'far away from you' mean the direction in which the sea recedes? Finally, "chasing the moon", "losing a part" and "guiding the way", these together do not mean swimming to a place where the moon is just blocked, and then swimming in the direction of the moon. And where is the treasure? ”

Ye Xi asked and answered to herself, and saw that she had finished explaining the riddle, of course, this was also her own opinion. "Well, how do you see my understanding?" Seeing that Yuan Dou didn't say a word, Ye Xi asked.

"Very good, about the same as I thought, and there are even some things that I don't care as much as you think." Yuan Dou said.

Ye Xi smiled and said to Yuan Dou, "Then what do you think?" ”

Yuan Dou didn't say what he thought, but first reorganized what Ye Xi said. Yuan Dou said: "What you just said, I'll repeat it, you listen to what I said if it's what you just thought." ”

Ye Xi nodded. So Yuan Dou said, "What do you mean: just tonight, when the moon is right in the middle of the sky, that is when the impression is the clearest. Then we lay down next to the figure under the moon, and we looked for the right position next to the figure, and swam from that position into the sea until we stopped at a place where we could see half the moon, and then swam in the direction of the moon, and the treasure was in that direction. When I say this, do you think it's the same as what you just said? ”

Ye Xi thought about it and found that there was generally no problem, so she nodded.

Seeing Ye Xi nodding, Yuan Dou smiled and said: "I'm a little different from what you think, that is, at the 'creeping', I think prostrate means that even if you bend down and lie down, you can only see part of the position of the figure." And the 'inseparable' thing I think is my shadow, so the rest is not in the sea, but in the cave behind me. ”

Listening to Yuan Dou's thoughts, Ye Xi didn't understand, and then asked, "What do you mean, I didn't understand?" ”

"Originally, I still hadn't figured it out, but thanks to your inspiration, I've roughly found the context now. I'll tell you all over again what I'm thinking. Yuan Dou said that he couldn't wait for Ye Xi to agree. As for the time, it is also the time when the moon is at its highest tonight. When the scene comes out, look at the shadow behind you where you can only see a small figure even if you bend down. Then walk in the direction of the shadow until the shadow disappears. At that time, the Moon will continue to guide you. Yuan Dou said.

"It seems more plausible to hear you say that." Ye Xi said.

"Of course, I've come here, and I've been studying this riddle since I've seen the beach." Yuan Dou was very happy and couldn't help but feel proud.

At this moment, Lian Yan suddenly interjected: "Then where do you think the place where you can only see a little bit of a human figure?" ”

Whenever Yuan Dou was proud, Lian Yan would come out to fight Yuan Dou, as if he couldn't get along with Yuan Dou sincerely. But now it's different, Yuan Dou has already figured it out, seeing Lian Yan's provocation, he didn't panic, he confidently took out his notebook, and then arrogantly said to Lian Yan, "Look at it, let me answer your questions." ”

As he spoke, Yuan Dou scribbled and drew on the notebook. Lian Yan pursed her lips and looked at the picture drawn by Yuan Dou with Ye Xi. After two or three strokes, Yuan Dou simply sketched out the general place, then handed it to Lian Yan, and said, "How is it, do you understand?" ”

Lian Yan didn't answer, but picked up the notebook and looked at it again. Yuan Dou saw Lian Yan holding the notebook and looking left and right, up and down, looking upside down, and asked a little speechlessly: "What are you looking at, do you need me to explain it?" ”

"By the way, who can understand your ghost drawing, you let Ye Xi take a look, do you see that she understands?" Lian Yan said angrily.

Ye Xi was very cooperative with Lian Yan and shook her head vigorously. Yuan Dou suddenly regretted why he wanted to put on a score and draw, and directly explained that it would be over. Yuan Dou took back the notebook, and then said to Lian Yan: "All in all, in short, I think that location is some cave under the rock wall. As for the whole beach, I only think of caves to see only a few people. ”
