Because I met my younger brother and sister during the Chinese New Year, the two sides did not distance themselves because of the changes in recent years, which made Xu Er feel heartbroken, and then I thought in my heart that I should treat my younger brother and sister better in the future.

As for the parents, try to stay as far away as possible if they don't see each other in the future.

Although the third uncle Xu Yanzhen didn't say it, Xu Wei had already guessed it. Ever since he arrived in Shanghai, his father Xu Yanbin never said that he wanted to come to him.

For some reason, Xu Ni and Xu Qian never went home and said anything about Xu Er.

This is probably a habit left over from the past. What Liu Yunhua dislikes the most at home is when her child mentions Xu Er, the 'heterogeneous' who lives at home.

Xu You also tried his best. He even ran to the door of Xu Yanbin's supermarket once, and stood across the street from the supermarket. Xu Yanbin was outside to pick up the goods.

As long as he looked up, he could see Xu Wei standing opposite, but the two of them were still missing.

If you miss it, miss it, anyway, Xu Wei now has her own home, and no longer needs to seek the comfort of family affection.

Because every day, as long as he needs, Chen Zhibei will appear by his side at any time, even if they don't do anything, the two of them can still feel happy while sitting quietly.

Emotionally, Xu Er is very rich now, more is better, he welcomes it; less is fine, he doesn't care.

In this way, life gradually returned to normal.

Xu Wei goes to Dongtai Road every day, or stays in the school library for a whole day.Chen Zhibei, on the other hand, continued his drug research. The Institute of Biology's research had already begun to take shape, and it was only a step away from achieving historic achievements.

But a peaceful life does not belong to Xu You. When Xu You was worrying about what topic to choose for his research paper after school started, he suddenly discovered something that completely diverted Xu You's attention.

When Xu Wei was traveling in Europe, he bought a very old notebook. At that time, Xu Wei realized that this notebook was unusual, and it should be made of parchment.

But at that time, he and Chen Zhibei were glued to each other. This notebook was put in the luggage after buying it, and it has not been touched. In the back of my mind, I saw it when I was packing my luggage today, and then I remembered that I bought such a thing.

Speaking of which, the reason why I bought the notebook back at that time was that besides the halo of the notebook, and the halo was very bright, the most important reason was that Xu Wei not only did not recognize the text in it, but also could not see it. Which language family does the text belong to.

Finding out now just gave Xu You a research direction. Xu You had a hunch that he had something to do this semester.

Although it is said that Xu Er can know many things as long as he sleeps with his notebook in his arms, but Xu Er did not do that, but searched for answers by himself in the library.

Tocharian, an ancient language that has disappeared for centuries, originated from a special language in Northwest China.

Although this language was discovered in China, it was German linguists who studied this language the most in the world.

In China, there are only a few sporadic studies. Currently, there is only one retired old professor from Kyoto University who is studying Tocharian, and he is still doing part-time research. His main research direction is Sanskrit.

As an independent language in the Proto-Indo-European language family, Tocharian has its unique research value and has a very far-reaching effect on the study of the society, humanities and history of the ancient Xinjiang region before the Tang Dynasty.

The Western Regions during the Sui and Tang Dynasties had a very unique social form, as well as art and religious culture, but in China, research on this period of history has always been very scarce.

Although Xu Er was not very interested in studying the culture of the Western Regions during that period, with the 5000-year history of China, Xu Er felt that it would be very good if he could have a general framework in his mind in his life. Forget it, experts.

At least, so far, Xu Er feels that he does not have that ability.

However, it is a good idea to study this lost language.

After all, I am a linguistics major, although I can't say that I can take over the teacher's class and become a linguist.

But as a graduate student, I always have to write a few passable papers.

And Tocharian is obviously a good choice.

Xu Wei took out all the materials about Tocharian that he could find in the school library, and then asked Mr. Guo for help to get some internal materials.

Although Mr. Guo likes antiques, for him, it is a pastime and hobby, and cannot be regarded as his main business.

Xu Er had always attached great importance to antiques before. Although Mr. Guo didn't say anything, he was actually very worried that Xu Er would be "playing with things and losing his mind" if he continued like this.

This made Mr. Guo very happy, and at the same time he was quietly relieved.

It's just that my little disciple is not too good at choosing a research direction. This kind of "prime forest" that hasn't been developed at all is something that a rookie like Xu You can study.

Mr. Guo told Xu Wei very euphemistically that this language is difficult to understand. Since it was discovered in the last century, only a few linguists in Germany have made this major breakthrough in this area. In China, only one scholar has ever When I was studying in Germany, I was exposed to this language, and now I am doing research with difficulty, but none of his students have set foot in this field.

But Xu Wei didn't care. Although he listened carefully to Mr. Guo's teachings, he still walked in the wrong direction when he did it, and continued to move towards the 'prime forest'.

Xu Wei thinks that he just has such a thing in his hand now, so he happens to be interested in studying it, and his interest is greater than research, so he won't be deeply involved in it.

However, in this world, the beginning of many things is just a curiosity.

Seeing his little disciple plunge into the pit of Tocharian language, Mr. Guo had no choice but to dampen his disciple's hard-earned enthusiasm, so he had no choice but to pull favors, find a relationship, and get in touch with that student. An old professor at Kyoto University borrowed copies of two books, "Tocharian Fragments" and "Tocharian Grammar", which are very original research materials obtained by the old professor when he was in Germany. , let Xu You study it carefully.

It would be great if he had a reputation, and he would be honored to be a teacher. If he didn’t achieve anything, it would be good. Let Xu Wei gain some experience, and study Latin with him in the future, so he won’t be at a loss.

With the materials borrowed by the teacher, Xu You had a clearer understanding of the Tocharian language.

In fact, the name Tocharian is in an uncertain state, because this name was given to it by his original researcher, and its real name is still to be determined.

Now Xu You’s problem is that the Tocharian characters that were first discovered were written on birch bark, while the notebooks that Xu You found were written on parchment.

Tocharian, as one of the Indo-European languages, is closer to the writing of Sanskrit. At that time, Indians mainly used bark and paper for writing, and sheepskin was the habit of Europeans.

This notebook completely aroused Xu You's curiosity.

Xu Wei felt that he should change his research direction, for example, study this notebook first.

The outside of the notebook is covered with a layer of cowhide. The cowhide has begun to crack, and there is a dry streak on it.

Xu Wei guessed that this notebook should have been placed in a sealed place before, it was well hidden, and it was only taken out in the last few decades.

Xu Wei remembered that the person who sold this notebook was a Frenchman, but the other party said that he found this notebook in a box at home, and that box was originally brought back from China by his great-grandfather.

Calculated from the time, it should be before the First World War, that is, at the end of the Qing Dynasty.

And the foreigners who came to China at that time were not good people.

Although a bit arbitrary, Xu Wei thinks that the chance of being wronged is less than [-]%, which can be completely ignored.

Although the parchment is well preserved, in some places, the content is still unclear.

But even so, this notebook also has a very high historical research value.

The existing fragments of Tocharian language are all incomplete, not even a complete sentence.

And the notebook in Xu You's hand was not only well preserved, but also very rich in content.

There are a total of thirty notebooks, each of which has rich content.

The most special thing is that there are four pieces of parchment on the top, with words written in relatively large fonts. Xu Wei guessed that it was something like a title or a name.

After spending more than ten days researching the existing information, Xu You finally had to face a reality.

Tocharian characters are too difficult, and it is not something that a rookie like myself can figure out by himself.But the only consolation is that I still have a learning tool that is useless. Although the dream of the notebook may not allow Xu Wei to learn anything, it is better than nothing.

Ever since, Chen Zhibei began to feel depressed.

Since Xu Er planned to sleep with his laptop in his arms, it was taken for granted that Chen Zhibei couldn't share the bed with him.

This kind of thing happened before, every time Chen Zhibei said he didn't do anything but just sleep, but when he went to bed, the noun became a verb.

Once or twice can only be said to be easy to deceive, but if you believe this kind of thing three or four times, then Xu Er is really a fool.

Of course, Xu Wei would have been fooled if it was 20 years ago, but now it is 20 years later.

Therefore, Chen Zhibei had no choice but to tell Xu Er in grief and indignation that he was going to the Northeast, and it would take about a week before he came back. .

After Chen Zhibei left, Xu You insisted on lying on the bed for a whole day before getting up. During the meal, Xu You called for takeaway, which was delivered by Qu Feng who was staying at home now.

The dream of the notebook is divided into two parts, to be precise, it belongs to two people.The first person, that is, the author of this notebook, was probably a monk in a monastery. The monk was originally a traveling merchant who walked between the Sui Dynasty and the Dashi Dynasty. The tea and porcelain were transported to Dashi.

But later, during the business period, he was robbed by Turkic people. Not only was the goods lost, but he was also taken as a slave for two years. After returning home, his wife and others ran away and took all his belongings.

Afterwards, the businessman realized that he had nowhere to hide, so he became a monk.

The notebook is full of his business notes, such as something in a certain place, which can be exchanged for a certain luxury in another place.

The few pages with the title, these are the few Buddhist scriptures he copied, short and easy to remember, and they are the magic weapon he used to pass the morning class examination after he became a monk.

Fortunately, the businessman can speak Chinese because he has been traveling in the Sui Dynasty all year round. Although the pronunciation is a bit weird, Xu Wei is not troubled by this.

The second owner of the notebook is a young novice, a young apprentice who was accepted by a businessman after he became a monk.

This little apprentice yearned for Tai Sui very much, so the businessman gave the notebook to the little novice when he was old, and handed it to the other party in Chinese.

This passage is very important, because the businessman speaks Tocharian and uses Tocharian to teach Chinese to the little novice.

Xu You couldn't understand Tocharian, but he could understand Chinese.

In the following week, every time Xu You fell into a dream, he would get up quickly and write down the few words he learned in the dream in his notebook.

Although it is fragmented and requires reverse scrutiny, Xu You is still extremely happy.
