Chapter 72: The Pearl Is Covered in Dust but Its Brilliance Cannot Be Obscured (24)

Realizing that the two of them seemed to know each other, Yun Gouer's face turned red with embarrassment from tears.

Embarrassed, he let go of the hand that was still holding Shen Minghuan's clothes and hesitated: "Teacher, you are back."

Shen Minghuan rolled his eyes: "I'm not back. Is the person you were holding and crying about just now a ghost?"

The other students also let go in embarrassment, feeling ashamed of their previous performance. They tried to change the topic to erase the memories of everyone present.

"Teacher, we are reading the book carefully. I have read all the content you assigned!" Zhao Jun patted his chest.

Zhou Xiaoya raised her head and blinked: "I've finished reading it too. Teacher, you can test me. If, if I get all the answers correct, teacher, can you agree to my small request?"

As she spoke, she gestured with her finger to indicate that the request was really very small.

Zhou Xiaoya pinched the corner of her clothes shyly. The already sensible child felt that her behavior was a bit embarrassing.

This was her own homework, so she didn't ask the teacher for help. Instead, she asked the teacher for payment. It was really a bit too much.

"What's the matter?" Shen Minghuan asked nonchalantly, looking at the restrained little girl.

Zhou Xiaoya struggled for a moment and mustered up her courage: "Teacher, don't blame brother..."

"Sister!" Zhou Dazhuang had already guessed that Zhou Xiaoya made this request for him, but he was the elder brother, how could he let his sister stand up for him?

Zhou Dazhuang squeezed up from the back of the crowd, walked up to Zhou Xiaoya, and said in a sonorous voice: "Everyone is responsible for the work. Teacher, I did something wrong, please punish me."

Shen Minghuan: "???"

"What did you do?" Shen Minghuan was curious.

Although the village chief always said that these children were naughty, they were all very well-behaved in front of Shen Minghuan. After being in this world for so long, Shen Minghuan had never experienced the feeling of cleaning up the mess for students, and it was a bit novel for a while.

The other students all looked guilty, obviously they were also insiders.

As the squad leader, Yun Gouer did his part and took advantage of himself to occupy the position closest to Shen Minghuan's right and explained to him in a low voice.

Shen Minghuan: "..."

"Teacher, are you angry?" Yun Gou'er asked anxiously.

Shen Minghuan nodded solemnly, took a deep breath, and said loudly and fiercely: "Zhou Dazhuang! Who allowed you to spread rumors about me!"

Zhou Dazhuang looked downcast, "I'm sorry, teacher... ah?"

He explained seriously, "Teacher, you are mistaken. I did not spread any rumors."

He is not a bad boy who loves to lie.

"You still say no? Your teacher is in very good health. He just got sick a few times! Haven't you ever been sick?" Shen Minghuan said forcefully.

Zhou Dazhuang really wanted to say that he had rarely gotten sick since he was a child, let alone frequently in a short period of time. But when he saw Shen Minghuan's dangerous eyes, his desire to survive prompted him to realize the high emotional intelligence communication method.

Zhou Dazhuang retracted his argument and simply said: "Teacher, I was wrong."

Shen Minghuan touched his head with satisfaction: "If you know you made a mistake, correct it and the teacher will forgive you."

He thought for a while and emphasized: "Be careful what you say in the future. I am strong and good at martial arts. It is impossible for me to be in poor health."

"oh--"

The students protracted their tones, and out of politeness and respect for the teacher, they did not refute, but their expressions were full of "I don't believe it", "You are so stubborn", "Okay, I'll just listen to you", "Just take it as it is" It's to protect the teacher's self-esteem." Shen Minghuan gritted his teeth.

Although the people around him had long been attracted by the excitement and were no longer reading, their noise was still considered a disturbance.

Shen Minghuan once again bowed his hands to the people around him: "I'm sorry everyone, I hope I will forgive you for offending me."

"It's not my fault. I asked this young comrade. He must have been worried for a long time." One of the young people said jokingly.

The conscience of heaven and earth made him break out in a cold sweat when he saw Zhou Dazhuang confessing his mistake to Shen Minghuan. He was very worried that his curiosity would harm this child.

Fortunately, Shen Minghuan didn't care at all.

Also, he didn't want to use the other person's birthday and horoscope to stab the villain. He didn't even know the name, so what should he care about?

I'm afraid these children misunderstood their parents' instructions and made too much of a fuss.

Yun Gouer frowned: "Teacher, is it really okay?"

Even though Shen Minghuan was laughing and joking with them like he was insignificant, the students who already understood a lot of things still regarded this as reporting good news rather than bad news.

They thought that the teacher must be pretending to be relaxed and relaxed on purpose, just to prevent them from worrying about guilt.

Wow, Teacher Shen is really the best teacher in the world!

Shen Minghuan gave Yun Gou'er a headache, "Children should behave like children. If the sky falls, it will be a matter for adults to consider."

He glanced at the other students who were also worried: "You only have to do one thing - trust me."

The purpose of hiding their information was to create suspicion among the spies of Country M, but not to mention that Zhou Dazhuang only mentioned an insignificant sentence, even if they really went to Han Aimin and introduced Shen Minghuan to the whole story.

As long as the betrayal was not intentional, Shen Minghuan felt that there was nothing unforgivable and he could solve it anyway.

Shen Minghuan raised his eyes and looked at the sky.

They went out early in the morning, and now the sun has risen to the sky, making its presence known brightly.

"Are you hungry? I'll take you to eat first." Shen Minghuan said casually, and then looked at Gu Wenjing and the other two who were always hesitant to speak, and politely invited: "Sir, do you want to go together?"

Gu Wenjing pondered for a moment, and he felt that it was okay to agree. It was just the right time to find an opportunity for Shen Minghuan to persuade these children. They seemed to listen to Shen Minghuan. If this person asked, the children would be willing to go to Kyoto with him.

They are a group of geniuses with unlimited potential. It would be a big delay for them to stay in this border town.

"Okay..." However, as soon as Gu Wenjing opened his mouth, he saw the children's vigilant eyes, obviously worried that this strange old man had bad intentions and tried to deceive their teacher after deceiving them.

Gu Wenjing had no choice but to change his tone, "It's not easy to come to Tongxian, I still want to go around more, you go."

Anyway, we already know that they are in Mutian Village. The monk can run away, but the temple cannot. There is a long way to go, so we should plan for the long term.

He and his colleagues are old, but China is full of vitality. Such a young country needs stronger arms and new strength. Only the flowers of brilliant youth can embellish her glory, and these dry old trees must let every flower bloom without scruples and to the best of their ability.

This is his promise to the motherland, and perhaps... it is also the last thing he can do for his beloved motherland.

The international blockade of their technology is very strict. He has no ability and no time to accompany the motherland out of the predicament. I hope that the later generations will carry on the past.

China will not continue to be weak.

What if there is a blockade? They will open up a new path in the thorns.

Shen Minghuan did not force it. After all, important talents should have the awareness of being a national treasure, and it is normal not to agree.

Although he didn't know that Gu Wenjing had just encountered an assassination before coming here, he could guess that this person was not peaceful around him, otherwise there would not be so many people arranged outside.

Shen Minghuan thought for a moment, then tilted his head and said, "Gou'er, bring me your paper and pen."

The demand for paper and pen in Mutian Village was rising sharply. In order to save money, Shen Minghuan had to make a paper machine again. The output was not large, barely enough for his own use.

The clever old lady in the village bound them into books, and everyone in Mutian Village, whether adults or children, had one. When they were done, they could go to the village chief to get another one.

Yun Gou'er responded, and ran to the table to get his own book and pen and handed them to Shen Minghuan.

The first few pages were all neat formulas and calculations. Although the handwriting was not very good because of the short learning time, it could be seen that the other party had tried his best to write it fairly.

Yun Gou'er opened his eyes wide and looked at Shen Minghuan expectantly.

Shen Minghuan flipped through two pages casually and looked at him with amusement: "This theory is well learned. The experiment you wanted to try last time can be done."

"Great!" Yun Gou'er jumped up excitedly.

Song Youcai raised his hand high: "Teacher, I want one too."

"You are allowed to watch, but you can't do it yourself. The materials are very expensive." Shen Minghuan said seriously.

Shen Minghuan paid for all the experimental equipment "out of his own pocket". He didn't think it was a big deal. Money is meant to be spent. Anyway, it will come back after all.

However, every time the village chief saw the students doing experiments, he would hold his chest in pain and almost faint. Shen Minghuan was helpless and had to take into account the fragile hearts of the adults in the village.

The students cheered and celebrated on their own. Shen Minghuan took the notebook and turned to a blank page. He looked intently at the pistol on Xu Yi's waist, and then quickly started writing.

Although there was only an outline, weapons were the same no matter how they changed. He had already disassembled all their guns at Han Aimin's place, so he probably knew which one Xu Yi used.

Shen Minghuan put down the last stroke, and then tore off the page of paper casually, "Sir, this is an apology. Have they caused trouble for you?"

Perhaps because of what he saw and heard recently, Shen Minghuan firmly believed that China was poor, so his design was just a minor improvement on the original gun, and the additional expenditure was negligible.

A good cook cannot cook without rice. With limited funds, the effect that can be improved is naturally limited. Shen Minghuan glanced at it with disdain, not very satisfied.

He wanted to give the design of the protective shield to Gu Wenjing, so that the other party's safety would be more guaranteed, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was foolproof.

But the materials for making the protective shield are very expensive and time-consuming. Although the gift is valuable, it may not be as useful as this one now.

Let M country do it, and then just grab it directly, Shen Minghuan nodded secretly.

It has to be said that M country is really rich, and we have to think of a way to cheat more.

"No trouble, they are all very obedient, you taught them very well." Seeing that it was not a valuable item, Gu Wenjing took the thin paper with a smile.

*

After leaving, Yun Gou'er told Shen Minghuan about the things in the library, and the students also supplemented it.

In the chaotic scene, Shen Minghuan heard the key points he wanted to hear.

"That old man also wants to take us to Kyoto, hum, who wants to go to such a far place, I don't want to leave our village for the rest of my life."

"Not only that, teacher, do you know? He also wants us to recognize him as a teacher. I think he just thinks we are young and wants to deceive children!"

The students did not think it was because they were too outstanding. They had never come into contact with students outside. The only yardstick for measuring their level was the classmates around them who were not much different. Naturally, they thought this was the progress of normal students.

Moreover, they have a very smart monitor and an all-powerful teacher who loves to dislike them. It is remarkable enough that they do not feel inferior. How dare they have the idea of ​​being complacent.

Shen Minghuan thought thoughtfully: "He said he would take all of you to Kyoto?"

So in the plot, Gu Wenjing only accepted Yun Gou'er as a student. Is it because he didn't meet anyone else?

Ah, it doesn't matter. Although there is a slight mistake in the plot now, it is obviously developing in a good direction. Professor Gu can accept one student or a bunch of students, as long as there is Yun Gou'er among them.

"You don't want to? Why?" Shen Minghuan asked.

He didn't want to go back to Beijing because he had already seen the scenery there, it was nothing special, and his treasury was still here.

But these children should be looking forward to traveling far away. They are so excited to even enter the county town, let alone the more prosperous Kyoto?

Song Youcai pursed his lips: "I just don't want to go. My parents, the village chief's grandfather, and my uncles are all here, so we don't want to leave."

"It's not like you will never come back. You miss your relatives and you can come back. When you grow up, you can take your parents to Kyoto." Shen Ming said with a smile: "I can have that old gentleman as my teacher, but How many people dream of it, but you still don’t appreciate it.”

In this world, Shen Minghuan is obsessed with science and has no intention of doing tasks, but he still likes China. If he doesn't want this world to disappear, he must complete the task.

He originally wanted to wait until the matter at hand came to an end, then he would take Yun Gou'er and Song Youcai to Kyoto and drop them at the door of Gu Wenjing's house. Now that Gu Wenjing is here on his own, Shen Minghuan must seize the opportunity.

Why not do something that can reduce your workload?

And if Gu Wenjing wants to take away all the students this time, wouldn't he have more time to do his own things? Although it is a pity to lose a lot of labor force, there are better quality ones at Han Aimin.

Shen Minghuan thought happily.

The students never imagined that their teacher could be so ruthless. Zhao Jun hugged Shen Minghuan's arm and said coquettishly: "But we have a teacher. Teacher Shen, in my heart you are the best teacher in the world!"

Shen Minghuan acknowledged this sentence and then pushed him away expressionlessly.

Yun Gou'er never lags behind others in this kind of flattery work, but he is very sincere: "Teacher, no matter who that old gentleman is, I just want to be your student, and I will serve you well when I grow up." your."

Students in Mutian Village use the "Three Character Classic", "Disciple Rules", "The Analects of Confucius", Poems and Books, Li Yi Chun Qiu...

As the old saying goes: The king of heaven and earth is the master.

The ancients attached great importance to "teacher", which is more or less reflected in their writings. So the students learned that "serving a teacher is like serving one's father", "the teacher has something to do, and the disciple has to do his work", and "study depends on respecting the teacher". No wonder Yun Gou'er would say the word "serve".

Shen Minghuan also learned this knowledge. Although he had no need for it, he didn't think there was anything wrong with Yun Gouer's words.

But if an outsider like Professor Gu hears it, he will definitely think that Shen Minghuan has ulterior motives.

They would probably suspect that Shen Minghuan deliberately taught the children to be like this in order to deceive the young geniuses into benefiting him. After all, the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Permanent Rules have long been abandoned.

It's hard to say which one is better. In Shen Minghuan's opinion, both are fair. Nowadays, the requirements for disciples have been lowered, but correspondingly, the responsibilities that teachers need to bear are also no different than in ancient times.

No matter how much you do, you will bear the same honor. Even today, if there is a teacher who treats students as if they are parents and children, students will definitely treat them like father and mother.

"No one stipulates that there can only be one teacher. It is normal to change teachers after learning to a certain stage." Shen Minghuan glanced at them and said against his will: "I have nothing to teach you anymore."

Shen Minghuan didn't take Yun Gou'er's words to heart. It wasn't that he didn't believe in the character of these children. It was just that he had seen good teachers who truly deserved to be remembered and respected, so he didn't feel that he was qualified to enjoy the same treatment as them.

Although he was arrogant, he also admired the nobility of those people from the bottom of his heart.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Gouer's eyes turned red quickly, and the other students looked at Shen Minghuan as if they were a scumbag, "Teacher, don't you want us anymore?"

Shen Minghuan was shocked: "Don't talk nonsense, don't slander me... wait! Don't cry yet."

"Then why did the teacher lie to us? You obviously haven't taught us how to build airplanes and cannons."

"Last time you said you would bring us to electrify the village. Now you just want the light and don't want us anymore, right?"

"I saw you chatting with my dad yesterday, and he asked you questions. Teacher Shen, do you want those adults to be your students?"

When Song Youcai said these words, the students were stunned for three seconds today, adding a bit of anger to their grievances: "Okay, it turns out that Teacher Shen wanted to drive us to Kyoto because there are other students."

Zhou Xiaoya struggled to speak for Shen Minghuan: "Teacher Shen is not this kind of person. Teacher Shen is so kind to us. My parents must have instigated this."

"That makes sense. My parents are really bad, but Teacher Shen actually..."

"stop!"

Shen Minghuan took a deep breath and said sadly: "Go back to the village."

Shen Minghuan was puzzled as to why these students weren't afraid of him without saying anything like "Kyoto" or "changing teachers"?

The students burst into laughter instantly, but they did not calm down. "Teacher, are you familiar with that old gentleman?"

"He is my teacher's friend." Shen Minghuan answered every question.

"Teacher's teacher? Wow——"

I don't know what they are "wow" about.

Gu Wenjing was also escorted back to the military base.

He put down the gun in his hand that he had modified according to Shen Minghuan's design, and said admiringly: "Old man Jiang is still modest to me. Shen Minghuan is not as mediocre as he said? In my opinion, he is very talented."

Zhang Jingchang took it before Xu Yi. He took a closer look and echoed: "It is obviously only such a small change, but it can actually reduce the recoil of the gun. Teacher, this junior brother Shen knows a lot about guns."

Indeed, if you are not familiar with every part inside, you can't just draw the design, let alone improve it.

They don't think this is the result of Shen Minghuan's idea in a short period of time. He should have studied it for a long time and just took the opportunity to draw it.

Xu Yi originally thought so, but he remembered Shen Minghuan's glance at his waist, and inexplicably had a little doubt about it.

He also felt that this guess was too far-fetched. How could someone guess the type of firearm based on just an outline and improve it in such a short time?

He shook his head, trying to get rid of this absurd idea.

"Xu Yi, what's wrong? Do you have a headache?" Gu Wenjing saw his movements and asked with concern.

Xu Yi waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, I'm fine... I just feel that teacher Shen seems to know my identity."

"What's so strange about this?" Zhang Jingchang said with a smile: "He knows the teacher, and it's normal to know that there are guards around the teacher."

"And it is said that Shen Minghuan and Yiwen have a good relationship. I think this should also be the reason why he knows about firearms." Gu Wenjing also added with a smile.

Xu Yi nodded hesitantly. He knew Jiang Yiwen, a legendary figure in the army. So it should not be surprising that Shen Minghuan could detect the hiding places of his colleagues... right?

Xu Yi still had doubts about this.

Zhang Jingchang was very excited: "Teacher, the wheat harvester came from Mutian Village. Do you think it is also the credit of this junior brother Shen?"

"It's possible." Gu Wenjing thought about it and smiled: "It's almost certain. Let's go and call old man Jiang. This old guy even hid it from me."

Although what Shen Minghuan made surprised them a little, they were not too shocked. Whether it was the design drawings or the wheat harvester, they were novel rather than profound. They belonged to the level that people present could do if they wanted to.

After all, Shen Minghuan was different from those children who were less than ten years old. He had graduated from university and was also a student of Jiang Li. If he had no results, he would be unqualified.

Jiang Li was at the Kyoto Research Institute.

Although the older generation of Chinese scientists were forced to be more versatile, they still had their own areas of expertise. Jiang Li focused on military weapons.

Some time ago, the M country drove a fighter plane to invade the Chinese airspace. Although they didn't know why they retreated quickly, the new fighter plane that they had never seen before still became a thorn in his heart.

Du Xingwei considerately handed him a glass of water, "Teacher, Professor Gu called you, can you take a break?"

If the seniority is determined by the time of entry, Du Xingwei is undoubtedly Jiang Li's eldest disciple. He is diligent and studious, and he is kind and tolerant. He is Jiang Li's favorite student besides Shen Minghuan.

Three years ago, Du Xingwei and Pei Shu went to study in M ​​country. A year later, Du Xingwei returned to China after completing his studies, but Pei Shu never came back.

Of course, they would not be angry with Du Xingwei for this, but sometimes they could not help sighing.

Du Xingwei is not as good as Pei Shu. Not only him, but no one in the younger generation of China can compare to Pei Shu.

Jiang Li sighed quietly, rubbed his eyebrows tiredly, and said with a smile: "It's really strange that old man Gu would take the initiative to find me. Go and see if it's raining red in the sky."

The water was warm. Jiang Li nodded to thank the student, and then temporarily put down his clueless work and slowly walked towards the phone with the enamel pot in his hand.

That old man Gu was always so slow in answering his calls, and now that he finally took the initiative, he wanted Gu Wenjing to wait a little longer!
