Chapter 272 Professor
"My last name is Wen. They all call me Professor Wen. You can also call me Old Man Wen."
The old man said with a smile.
"Hello, Professor Wen!"
Su Tong greeted him formally.
Professor Wen took off his reading glasses, waved at her, pointed to a workbench next to him and said:
"Come here! Come here! You want to do a hemoglobin analysis, right? Do it here!"
Su Tong walked to the workbench and found all kinds of experimental supplies.
After Professor Wen finished speaking, he lowered his head and fiddled with a bunch of instruments and test tubes on his table.
He then took out the white paper and the test tube for the Qiang man and placed them on the table.
Su Tong sat down and started the experiment.
The room was very quiet. Professor Wen did not disturb her at first. Later, seeing that she was concentrating on the experiment, he came over to watch and asked questions from time to time.
It is obvious that Professor Wen is not proficient in medicine.
But Su Tong still answered him patiently.
It was such a large "laboratory", but no one else had come in since Su Tong came in. Except for her and Professor Wen's occasional conversations, it was always very quiet.
Except for stopping to watch her do an experiment, Professor Wen was concentrating on studying what he had in his hands.
After finishing the experiment, Su Tong put down the data in her hand and walked around the large room again. After a closer look, she found that -
Like the bookshelves in the "library", the workbenches here are mostly for physics, with quite a few for chemistry as well.
There were also several large tables with some broken stones, large and small, some even in powder form...
Su Tong couldn't help but wonder in his heart, is it possible that even geology is studied here?
She came back after a long walk, looked at Professor Wen who was still busy in the corner, and asked:
"Professor Wen, this room is so big and there are so many instruments. Are you using them all by yourself?"
Upon hearing this, Professor Wen stopped what he was doing, took off his glasses, stretched his neck, and then spoke:
"How is that possible! A bunch of old guys are using it! They stayed up all night last night and are catching up on their sleep now!"
"Oh!" Su Tong asked again: "Have you... worked here for a long time?"
Professor Wen's eyes showed a trace of confusion, as if he was reminiscing, "Has it been a long time? It's been a long time! I have been dealing with these bottles and jars all my life!"
"What...are you researching?" Su Tong asked tentatively.
"hey-hey!"
Professor Wen smiled childishly and said, "This is interesting! I won't tell you yet, you will know after a while."
"But..." Professor Wen smiled mysteriously and said, "When I was at the Beijing Institute, I didn't have the opportunity to come into contact with these experiments!"
Beijing Institute of Technology?
Was he really captured?
Su Tong was about to ask again, but Professor Wen stood up and stretched his body, then said:
"Oh, it's rare to see such a young girl. Would you like to have dinner with me, an old man?"
Su Tong was overjoyed when he heard this, and nodded in agreement, "Okay! I'm hungry too!"
Professor Wen walked to the window and pulled the same small string. Soon, he saw Yang Cheng standing at the door.
Professor Wen stepped forward, gave Yang Cheng a flattering smile, and said:
"Um, can I have lunch with this little girl?"
Yang Cheng looked at Su Tong, turned and went out. Not long after, he came back and motioned for the two to follow him.
This time there was no hood. Su Tong saw that there seemed to be another "laboratory" next to this large "laboratory". There were faint shadows swaying inside, but it was far away and could not be seen clearly.
She and Professor Wen followed Yang Cheng to another room, which also had windows and natural light.
There are several dining tables here, probably a place similar to a "canteen".
Professor Wen asked Su Tong to sit down with a smile, and then someone dressed in Qiang costume brought food.
It was just an ordinary meal, neither exquisite nor luxurious, and no different from what people in Xiaoya Village outside ate.
Professor Wen and Su Tong chatted about family matters, such as who was in their family, how old they were, and whether they had a loved one...
Su Tong answered cautiously and chatted with Professor Wen in a haphazard manner based on Ma Lan's information.
She could see that Professor Wen seemed to have not chatted with anyone like this for a long time, and was trying hard to find topics to talk about.
Many of the "professors" here were probably coerced or won over by Mr. Peng using various means. She also wanted to establish a good relationship with Professor Wen to see if she could get more information.
She tried several times to steer the topic back to the "experimental project", but Professor Wen didn't respond to her words, whether he was intentionally avoiding the topic or didn't want to talk about it.
When the last dish of soup came, Su Tong saw a familiar face.
Zhou Jin, wearing Qiang costume, walked up carefully carrying a bowl of soup.
The soup seemed to be very hot, and steam was rising. When Zhou Jin passed by Professor Wen, his hand suddenly twisted...
"Professor Wen! Be careful!"
Su Tong took a step forward, and the soup splashed out, just onto Su Tong's hands.
Zhou Jin turned pale with fright, and a string of words came out of his mouth, which should be an apology in Qiang language!
Professor Wen was also panicking, "Girl! Are you okay? You can burn an old man like me, but you are a young girl with delicate skin and tender flesh. What will you do if you get burned?"
Su Tong hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay! I'm glad you didn't get burned!"
Then he turned to Zhou Jin and said, "Forget it! Be more careful next time! Just take me to wash it!"
Zhou Jin nodded and bowed, pointed in a direction, and hurriedly led the way.
Su Tong said: "Professor Wen! You eat first! I'll be right back!"
Professor Wen sighed, "Go quickly! Check if you are burned."
Zhou Jin took Su Tong to a corner of the kitchen, where there was a large water tank.
Zhou Jin used a large ladle to pour water on Su Tong's hands. Su Tong's hands were a little red from the heat, but there were no blisters.
Zhou Jin deliberately let the soup cool down for a while before bringing it in.
Then he took advantage of the cover of his body to hand Su Tong something, and Su Tong put it into his inner pocket.
When she returned, Professor Wen was still waiting for her with chopsticks placed down, looking anxious.
Su Tong smiled at him, "It's okay! It's just red! It's not a burn!"
"That's good, that's good!"
But just as Professor Wen finished speaking...
"Bang!" A huge explosion sounded, deafening enough to cause dust to fall from the ceiling of the cave.
And the sound was very close to here.
Su Tong was shocked, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind at this moment.
Has Peng Zhi and his team’s rescue plan begun?
But her news had not yet spread. Did they know where Jiang Ying and Professor Zhai were being held? Did they know how many firepower equipment there were inside? Did they know if there were any other exits?
…
Professor Wen on the opposite side also frowned and said:
"Little girl, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat today!"
