Chapter 60: A Pearl Covered in Dust Cannot Obscure Its Brilliance (12)

Shen Minghuan barely finished a bowl of wontons and was full. The buns were full of greasy fat. He was always picky when he had the conditions, so he didn't plan to eat them. Seeing that the two children were eating happily, he wanted to split them in half, but he hesitated for a moment and didn't want to dirty his hands. Shen Minghuan simply pushed the buns and the bowl to them, saying concisely: "You can share them, I'm full." Song Youcai put down the bowl hesitantly, his eyes full of suspicion. Don't think he doesn't know that these adults always like to tell lies like "I'm full" and "I don't like to eat." "Teacher?" Yun Gou'er had the same doubt. Shen Minghuan glanced at them indifferently, his attention still on the newspaper, and he said casually: "Don't think too much, if you don't want to eat it, find a way to get rid of it." He originally wanted to say throw it away, but in this era of food shortage, it is indeed a bit irritating for him to say this. Shen Minghuan sighed. The poverty of some or even most people will make bystanders feel sad and pity, but if the whole country, from the leaders to the peddlers, can only have one meal a day, it is a very respectable and admirable thing.

Yun Gou'er keenly noticed that the teacher seemed to be absent-minded. He looked up and found that Shen Minghuan was still holding the newspaper.

And his eyes always stayed on...

"Spy." Yun Gou'er silently read, silently remembering these two words in his heart.

Teacher Shen's mood is very wrong now. Is it related to spies?

Song Youcai scratched his head, he thought about it and said: "Why don't we take it with us, teacher, you can eat it when you are hungry."

"Good idea." Shen Minghuan snapped his fingers, and then packed up the remaining 23 buns in the restaurant in front of Song Youcai's stunned eyes.

Shen Minghuan planned to take it back to the villagers of Mutian Village. He has been taken care of by the villagers these days.

Then he went to the next door to buy three people enough rice and flour for a month. After all, the Yun family was not rich, and he couldn't just stay at the Yun family and eat for free.

Grandma Yun took care of most of the housework at home, and even Yun Gou'er would help after school. Only Shen Minghuan was like a young master, with clothes and food provided for him.

Shen Minghuan didn't argue about this matter. First, Grandma Yun didn't let him do it, and second, he knew that he would probably only cause trouble, so he decided to repay her in another way.

During the purchase process, Yun Gou'er was hesitant to speak, but Shen Minghuan ignored him and said something like thrifty and frugal.

Although the sparrow is small, it has all the organs.

Tong County is a small county town. In response to the call of the country, the county magistrate squeezed out a part of the limited funds to build a library.

In fact, it was just to vacate an empty room of suitable size, put up bookshelves, and put books that the county magistrate had found from somewhere.

In order to show off, the county magistrate stuffed all the papers with words into the library, so that although there were many books in the library, they were messy and mixed.

The library was located in a remote location and there were not many people in it, but there were always a few familiar faces that appeared every day, so it was not considered to be bleak.

"Wow, teacher, there are so many books." Song Youcai shouted excitedly, and when he reacted, he quickly covered his mouth and bowed apologetically to the person who was reading seriously but was disturbed by him.

He was still a child, and he was so polite. Or was he so excited because he saw the books? Under the triple filter, everyone around him smiled and nodded to him.

Some people looked at Shen Minghuan curiously. He must be an excellent teacher to be able to teach students so well?

China needs such teachers now. Maybe one day he will cultivate a world-renowned genius and lead China's science and technology to take off in the world.

Yun Gou'er's face flushed with excitement, and he whispered, "Teacher, I like it here."

"Teacher likes it too." Shen Minghuan looked around with satisfaction: "Find a chance to bring your other classmates here."

With so many books, they can study on their own, just thinking about it makes it easier.

Yun Gou'er was stunned.

Watching the moment when the wheat harvester was formed under his hands, a huge sense of accomplishment filled the hearts of every Mutian student. Yun Gou'er was sure that no one would not crave more after touching the beauty of knowledge.

Yun Gou'er judged others by himself. As a teacher who was far superior to them in knowledge and talent, Shen Minghuan would only love learning more than them.

But he didn't expect that the first thought of this person when he saw this place was to let all his students come here.

Is this the teacher?

Yun Gou'er felt an indescribable shock. He thought that just this broad and selfless mind and transcendent attitude were worth his life to follow and learn.

Gu Wenjing leaned tiredly on the train seat and rubbed his sore legs.

Guard Xu Yi brought him a cup of hot water, observed the surroundings vigilantly, and then sat down calmly, saying softly: "Professor, don't worry, we have contacted the Tongxian base, and someone will pick you up when you get off the car."

Gu Wenjing needs to complete a research and must leave Kyoto to go to a suitable place to conduct experiments. In the original plot, he chose Tongxian, met the protagonist by chance, and the magnificent story unfolded.

But one of the deviations in the plot made him choose the neighboring Pingxian from two destinations that are almost the same.

Although the distance is not far, the transportation is inconvenient nowadays. For safety reasons, Gu Wenjing will not run around on a whim, and the protagonist, who is poor and a half-grown child, has no chance to go far away. The plot can almost be said to have collapsed.

It is not difficult to correct it. Shen Minghuan only needs to bring Yun Gou'er to Gu Wenjing a few more times.

Even if he does not know the other party's location, he can wait in Kyoto. Gu Wenjing will return to Kyoto after completing his research.

But it is not easy to say that it is simple. Professor Gu, a national treasure, is always accompanied by people. It is impossible to get close to him, let alone introduce anyone to him.

After Shen Minghuan came to this world, he was devoted to learning and only wanted to study airplanes and cannons. He was not interested in the mission for the time being. Not to mention creating a chance encounter, he did not even think about investigating the location of the target person.

However, the unintentional planting of willows has led to the shade of the willows. Thanks to his fever and the seriousness and responsibility of his comrade Jiang Yiwen, Gu Wenjing decided to come to Tongxian.

—— When he was preparing to return to Kyoto, he was attacked by spies and finally escaped under the cover of the guards. After that, the group was separated. Only Xu Yi followed him and did not dare to expose his tracks easily.

Gu Wenjing rubbed his forehead, "My whereabouts are confidential, and not many people know about it. How could I happen to encounter a spy?"

What a coincidence, when he left the heavily guarded research institute and was about to board the train to Kyoto.

It was as if the other party had been watching him, waiting for him to reveal this flaw.

Who knew he went to Ping County? Who knew he was returning today?

The only ones who knew this were either his old friends or a few powerful leaders. Did someone reveal all this?

It was a hot summer day, and Gu Wenjing felt a piercing chill while sitting on a crowded train.

The guard obviously thought of these things, and he hesitantly comforted the old man: "Maybe it was accidentally discovered, don't think too much."

Gu Wenjing sighed, "The more domineering the M country is, the more I worry about Xiaoshu."

Pei Shu, Gu Wenjing's most proud student before Yun Fan appeared.

China started late, and there was a technological blockade from the outside world. It was difficult for the new generation of scientific researchers to make progress. The country would subsidize a group of students to study abroad every year.

Pei Shu was intelligent and studious, and was also among the selected personnel, but perhaps he was too intelligent, and he stood out from the crowd, so he never came back after he went there.

Country M placed him under house arrest.

Not only Pei Shu, but there were many outstanding scientists in Country M who were dedicated to the country. Sometimes they just went to participate in academic exchanges and were forcibly detained afterwards.

But these exchanges were necessary. Otherwise, if they were hesitant because of fear, wouldn’t it be another kind of isolation?

China never gave up on them, but it paid a lot of price and failed to let them return home safely.

At the same time, many students still left the embrace of their motherland one after another every year, willing to take risks to learn from the barbarians to defeat the barbarians, and struggled to preserve themselves and strive to bring the knowledge they learned back to the country.

China could not refuse their patriotic enthusiasm, nor could it not consider future development. Pei Shu was one of them, but he would not be the last.

"You forgot that I just talked to Mr. Pei three days ago. He is an important talent, and Country M still treats him very courteously." Xu Yi himself did not believe this.

Gu Wenjing also knew that the other party was just comforting him, and he shook his head: "These young people only report good news and not bad news. Jiang Li's student was the same. He didn't say he was sick, and Yiwen knew it himself." Xu Yi smiled and responded: "Otherwise, why would Professor Jiang ask you to go and see him?" Gu Wenjing also laughed and scolded: "This old guy said he was worried about my safety, but I think I was just passing by. He really thinks about his students, right?" After Gu Wenjing and Xu Yi temporarily contacted the threat, they immediately contacted Kyoto. Kyoto had also received the news that they were separated after being attacked by spies, and was anxious like an ant on a hot pot. After the two parties contacted each other, the most urgent task was how to bring the people back. It was obviously not convenient to return to Kyoto at the moment, and Ping County was no longer safe. Tong County happened to be nearby and there was a military base stationed there. The leaders asked Gu Wenjing to go to Tong County to meet up with their own people first. After they made arrangements, they returned to Kyoto from Tong County. Jiang Li was there at the time, and in order to ease Gu Wenjing's anxiety, he pretended to be relaxed and said, "I have a student who is also near Tongxian. His name is Shen Minghuan, and he is a teacher in Mutian Village. Yiwen said he had a fever two days ago. As an elder, you have to help me take care of him and supervise how he is doing as a teacher." Gu Wenjing couldn't help laughing when he thought of Jiang Li's words, "Then I'll go and run errands for him." He had a vague impression of the name Shen Minghuan. An He and Shen Yan's child seemed to be... Pei Shu's classmate. Thinking of Pei Shu, Gu Wenjing sighed deeply again.
