Chapter 8

At the beginning of May, the weather has gradually started to be sultry, and the crowds on the street are bustling, and the crowds are even more boring.

Even though this is a season of messy dressing, Tong Wu's attire still attracted a lot of heads - a black long-sleeved jacket and black trousers wrapped him up tightly, and the shoes on his feet were all black. If it weren't for his fair skin, I'm afraid the whole person would look like a coffin board...

In fact, he was no better than a coffin board like this.

Some people passed by him, they all looked at him a few more times at the same time, some guessed whether he was hot or not, and some lamented that it was a pity, it's a pity that this pair of good skin and a consumptive look on his face seemed to be going down the next moment It seemed that he was dying, and some people felt that he was looking at the bad luck gloomyly, and planned to walk around from a long distance.

Moving the coffin board, Tong Wu was completely unaware that the people on the street had different views on him, his face was calm and composed, and his heart had already exploded.

I don't know if Tan Xin is a road idiot. He can't understand what kind of map he drew. After leaving Tan's Lane where the Kunlun Internet Cafe is located, he can't tell the difference between south, east and north, let alone find a station to take a bus to the library.

"I don't know the way, so I just went back like this?" Tong Wu thought to himself, it's a rare vacation, so it's a pity to just go back like this.

He thought about it, looked around, and saw a girl waiting at the traffic light at the intersection. She was cute and seemed talkative, so he wanted to ask for directions.

He walked over in two or three steps, and at this moment, he jumped on the street lamp, and the girl stepped down the sidewalk, and was grabbed by Tong Wu.

He appeared so quietly that the girl was taken aback.

"Ah!" the girl screamed shortly.

Tong Wu didn't expect that he would scare people, so he quickly apologized and explained why he came, his expression and tone were 12 points of sincerity.

The girl sized him up a few times, but she didn't know whether it was lack of heart or something, but she didn't notice his gloominess and bad luck, but said cheerfully: "I was scared to death, I thought someone was robbing me in broad daylight, so I was just asking for directions." of."

"Sorry, I scared the girl."

The word "girl" made the girl froze, and then said: "You are quite interesting, go to the library, right? I am going too, so come with me."

Tong Wu hurriedly thanked and followed, and the two walked all the way, chatting with each other, mostly the girl was talking.

She was unsuspecting, and her cheerful thinking jumped to an unbelievable level. In the previous sentence, she was still telling Tong Wu which restaurant nearby made good noodles, but the next moment she suddenly said: "Look carefully, you are quite handsome."

"Yes, thanks for the compliment."

"The speech is also quite interesting and well-mannered."

Tong Wu touched his face, but he didn't feel that he was any more polite.

"But, are you in poor health?" After complimenting him on his handsomeness, the girl became concerned about his physical condition again.

"No, I'm fine." Tong Wu said.

"Oh..." The girl nodded, "When you grabbed me just now, your hand was cold, like a dead person, it scared me."

"I've been in the air-conditioned room for a long time, and I haven't recovered yet."

"Ah."

At this moment, the two arrived at the station, and there happened to be a car coming into the station. The two got on the car one after another to buy tickets, and stopped talking after standing still.

The car bumped all the way to the library station. After entering, the girl said that she wanted to find a book. She pointed out the way back to Tong Wu and said goodbye. In the public reading area, you can overlook the hall on the first floor by leaning on the central railing. Opposite the railing is the reading room separated by transparent glass. There are neat rows of bookshelves inside, and there are groups of simple and clean desks near the window. Chairs are almost full.

At the end of the reading room, there is another open space, which is the electronic reading room.

Tong Wu stood by the railing and looked down for a while. There were many people entering and leaving the library. In a daze, he seemed to see the girl who showed him the way just now standing at the door and smiling at him. There are still figures...

Probably dazzled...

Tong Wu shook his head and laughed at himself, wondering if it was because he was old and his eyes were dim.

He walked into the public reading room, and was immediately attracted by the rich collection of books here. He didn’t feel it when he stood outside and looked at the flowers just now, but now he stood at the end of the bookcase and looked over, and immediately felt a sense of excitement. Scholar Zhuangyuan Lang, what is more important to him than reading, the former nerd is still a top student, seeing a book is like seeing his own father——

Maybe it's not that a real father is better than a real father.

He plunged into the bookshelf, first glanced through it, and then picked out a few books related to computers as if obsessive-compulsive, and then ran to get a book or two of ancient literature to fill the number, and sat down on the seat Read it carefully.

His careful reading is different from others. He opened a book with ten lines at a glance, turning pages in three seconds, and only paused for a second or two when encountering difficulties. The reading speed was so fast that people could not notice that he had stopped. The book was flipped through within a few minutes, and the six books I took just now were quickly read.

After reading the last page, Tong Wu closed the book with a snap, picked up the stack and was about to return it—of course he had to bring a new batch back.

Just as his butt was about to leave the stool, the person sitting opposite him spoke.

"Young man, don't be so impetuous when reading a book. It's wrong to just turn a few pages and throw them away."

Tong Wu's movements stopped, and he looked at the middle-aged man sitting opposite him.

The middle-aged man was wearing a shirt and trousers, his body was thin instead of fat, his hair was combed meticulously, and the glasses on the bridge of his nose perfectly reflected his elegant temperament. An intellectual aura that had gone through the vicissitudes of the times came over his face. Jiao Tongwu couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic to each other.

As a scholar, you always have some feelings.

"What advice do you have, sir?" Tong Wu put down his book and addressed the middle-aged man opposite him with honorifics.

"Don't dare to advise." The man smiled and said, "When you were reading just now, I have been observing you."

"Huh?" Tong Wu raised his eyebrows.

"Flipping through the books so fast, did you catch a single word?" As he spoke, he tapped the spines of the books in Tongwu's hand, "Besides, these books belong to the two subjects of arts and sciences, even if you Clever in both literature and science, can you understand everything in such a short time?"

"Understood." Tong Wu said truthfully.

The middle-aged man immediately showed an expression of disbelief, "This is impossible! You are simply flipping through the book instead of reading it, so why are you talking about understanding it!"

Tong Wu thought that this person is really nosy, can't read a book at a glance?

"No, you must not understand, I want to test you."

Tong Wu: "..."

The middle-aged man didn't believe in evil, so he took a book from Tong Wu and turned to a random page, reported the number of pages, and asked him to recite it from the second paragraph to the fourth line.

Tong Wu wanted to buy some peace, so he didn't refuse, and opened his mouth to recite that page backwards.

The middle-aged man was even more surprised after hearing it, but he still didn't believe it. He changed two or three pages and continued the test.

"!!!" The middle-aged man's expression showed some signs of being torn apart.

Tong Wu thought, let me go this time!Seeing that he hadn't recovered from the shock, Tong Wu took the book on his own and wanted to leave, but he was stopped by a middle-aged man again, who said: "Computers are science subjects, and I'm not familiar with them. Give me this ancient text, and I'll test you again."

It's not over yet...

Although Tong Wu was a little impatient, he still didn't refuse and took out a book and handed it over.

The middle-aged man is also tricky, so he picked out a few remote ancient texts and asked Tong Wu not to mention them, and asked him to explain the meanings word by word. If there was any discrepancy with his understanding, he would discuss these points with Tong Wu. They would never give up until they were convinced. If the two of them hadn't been sitting in the corner, they would have caused the people around to roll their eyes several times.

After some back-and-forth "debates", the middle-aged man finally resigned himself to being defeated.

He handed the book back to Tong Wu, and couldn't help but praise: "The child is young but has such profound knowledge of ancient Chinese, I don't know which college to study in, and what major he is studying in."

Tong Wu rolled his eyes—can you believe that he taught himself?

The middle-aged man saw that he didn't want to say anything, so he immediately changed the topic and introduced himself, "My name is Zhou Zhongyuan, do you dare to ask the kid's name?" Zhou Zhongyuan already thought of "Zhaoan" when he asked this question.

However, Yaoxiu, a regular customer who came to the Kunlun Internet Cafe recently introduced Tong Wu to the movie "A Chinese Journey to the West". He was deeply impressed by the classic "your mother's surname", and now he can't even look directly at the word "your mother" , not to mention "your surname", and what made him even more concerned was that he was a little familiar with the name Zhou Zhongyuan!

He was thinking about it, and he couldn't remember where he saw the name.

At this moment, Zhou Zhongyuan handed over a business card, not paying any attention to his indifferent attitude, "I usually do archaeological research, and I was responsible for the excavation of several ancient tombs in a small way, and I followed a few graduate students , but their understanding of ancient literature is not as deep as yours."

The implication is that he wants Tong Wu to do research with his team and be a non-staff member of the archaeological team.

After seeing his business card and carefully reading the long list of identities on the back of the business card, Tong Wu finally realized - Zhou Zhongyuan, isn't this grandson the one who dug himself out!

The son of a bitch thought he was a dead man and couldn't hear him, so he loudly instructed the students to strip off his shroud, saying that he was going to use it for research!Study your sister, you can take those funeral objects as you like, at least leave a layer of underwear for me, take off a /silk/not/hang from the inside to the outside, and don't fear the dead's revenge.

Tong Wu squeezed his business card and smiled strangely, "It turns out to be Professor Zhou, who has known his name for a long time."

"Don't dare, it will be even more powerful if children join in."

"You're welcome." At this time, the basic respect that Tong Wu had for him just now has long since disappeared, and what is left is the straightforwardness of Yuanjialu. Get an answer."

"But it doesn't matter."

Tong Wu laughed again, more sinister than before, his face actually looked ghostly in broad daylight, "Professor Zhou, I heard that the body of the owner of the Qing Dynasty tomb that you presided over the excavation some time ago disappeared. Yet?"

Zhou Zhongyuan's expression became very ugly in an instant, and his facial muscles twitched unconsciously.
