Chapter 151 Explosives
The train stopped in Dingshi and Professor Sun was carried off the train and taken to a nearby hospital.
Ye Rou and her friends knew that the train would stop at this station for three hours, so they got off the train and bought some Dingshi specialties and tried the famous donkey meat hotpot.
After dinner, the group returned to the train. As soon as they got on the train, Ye Rou frowned slightly.
She smelled a very strange smell, a little pungent but not smelly.
Ye Rou helped Grandma Song sit back in her seat. She frowned, wondering what the smell was.
Zhao Ming returned to the train one second before it departed. He took off his military cap, his hair wet with sweat, and stood in front of Ye Rou to thank her solemnly.
"Professor Sun has been sent to the hospital. The doctor there said that if you hadn't intervened in time, he might have..."
He paused for a moment, then spoke again in a more serious tone, "Thank you, Comrade Ye Rou."
"You're welcome." Ye Rou is a doctor. Treating and saving lives is her job. Seeing this was just her normal thing to do. She felt a little embarrassed when Zhao Ming thanked her so solemnly.
Zhao Mingdao thanked her and decided to write a letter of commendation to Ye Rou when he returned.
Professor Sun is an important technical talent in the country and there must be no mistakes. Ye Rou saved him, which is a real great achievement.
He sat back in his seat and turned to see Professor Li.
Professor Li is the key protected person in his line of work.
Half a month ago, Professor Li experienced an assassination attempt by a foreign spy in Beijing, and the central government sent him to protect Professor Li.
Seeing him silent, Zhao Ming comforted him, "Professor Sun is fine, you don't have to blame yourself."
"Why should I blame myself?" Li Ping raised his eyes and asked calmly.
Zhao Ming was speechless. He was confused.
Professor Li is aloof and aloof. Even if he argued with Professor Sun and made him faint, he would not blame himself or reflect on himself. He would only think that Professor Sun was not able to withstand strong blows.
Zhao Ming laughed awkwardly and stopped talking.
Li Ping turned his head to look at the back seat of the carriage, where sat his father whom he hadn't seen for nearly 30 years. He heard the girl calling his father "Grandpa". She was his sister's daughter and his niece.
He withdrew his gaze, frowned and remained silent.
The train rattled onwards and it would take half a day to reach Beijing. It was so boring that everyone started playing cards.
"Xiao Rou, do you want to play?" Wang Guoping greeted Ye Rou.
Zhou Yuqing smiled and said, "Come here quickly, Miss Ye."
Ye Rou is a simple-minded person and she doesn't play tricks when playing cards. When these old men play cards with Ye Rou, they often use the sauce she makes for Jiang Chen as a bet.
Jiang Chen went to Beijing, and the next day Zhou Liang took people to install a telephone in Ye Rou's room.
Jiang Chen would call her every night at the exact time, asking about her whereabouts during the day, who she met, what she said, what she did, and he would also ask her many times if she missed him.
Ye Rou would occasionally send some pickles and clothes to Jiang Chen in an attempt to reassure him.
Originally, Ye Rou planned to wait until school started in March and go to Beijing with Zhou Nian, Zhou Liang and others.
After Jiang Chen knew her decision, he called her for two consecutive days. He didn't say anything and didn't allow Ye Rou to hang up the phone.
Ye Rou had to advance the time of going to Beijing before he was satisfied.
"I don't want to play anymore." Ye Rou didn't go over.
Ye Rou was excited to see Jiang Chen after two months.
She hoped the train would go faster, faster, preferably with wings, and fly directly to Beijing Railway Station. Jiang Chen said he would come to the train station to pick her up.
Li Weijun was so bad at playing cards that Zhou Yuqing despised him. Wang Guoping couldn't stand it and snatched his cards and pushed him out.
He stood up and saw Ye Rou lying on the chair with a smile on her lips and sparkling eyes. She looked innocent and easy to be deceived.
This little girl is too pretty, and Beijing is too big and full of evil spirits, so she should learn to protect herself.
Li Weijun said to Ye Rou, "Go to Jing City and continue learning the spear."
Ye Rou knew that Grandpa Li was doing this for her own good. She was about to nod when her head paused and her face turned pale.
She knew what the smell was that made her uncomfortable.
Li Weijun saw the little girl's face suddenly turned ugly, frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Ye Rou shook her head and whispered, "I smell gunpowder."
When Grandpa Li mentioned shooting, she remembered what that familiar pungent smell was.
Li Weijun's face changed. He knew that the little girl had a good nose, so he didn't ask her if she was sure. He immediately took Ye Rou to find Zhao Ming.
Zhao Ming saw Commander Li and Ye Rou coming over and saluted, "Commander Li."
He was about to ask Commander Li what was going on when he heard Commander Li suddenly say, "There are explosives on this train."
Zhao Ming's open jaw dropped with a bang and could never be closed again.
He said with great difficulty: "Explosion, dynamite?!"
Ye Rou explained, "Captain Zhao, my nose is very sensitive. I smelled the smell of gunpowder as soon as I got on the bus from Ding City."
Zhao Ming's expression relaxed. This statement sounded too unreliable. He smiled and said, "Did I smell it wrong?"
Seeing that he didn't take it seriously, Commander Li frowned and ordered, "Stop the train immediately and inspect the entire train."
Zhao Ming looked at the first-class carriage in embarrassment. If there was no gunpowder, and he suddenly stopped the car and delayed the professors from returning to Beijing, his superiors would blame him.
Seeing that he wouldn't give in, Ye Rou thought he was worried that the train was too big and would be difficult to search, so she immediately said, "I can determine the location of the explosives."
In fact, Zhao Ming didn't think there were explosives on the train at all. Even if Ye Rou said it with certainty, he couldn't believe a girl who said there were explosives on the train just by smelling it.
"Stop the train." A cold voice sounded.
Zhao Ming turned around and saw that it was Professor Li.
Li Ping said calmly: "If anything goes wrong, I will take responsibility."
Seeing that Professor Li had come forward, Zhao Ming did not hesitate and immediately led his men to the front of the car.
Accompanied by the screeching sound of brakes, the train whistled and stopped on the tracks.
There was a lot of discussion on the train, and many people opened the windows to look out.
Train attendants went out together, going from car to car to calm the agitated passengers: "The tracks ahead are being inspected. Please don't worry and stay seated."
In the second-class carriage next to the first-class carriage, two people dressed simply looked at each other with serious expressions.
They chatted in hushed voices.
"Will they find out?"
"How is it possible..."
The door of the first carriage opened and Ye Rou followed Captain Zhao out of the car.
Captain Zhao's face looked unhappy because he was afraid that everything was Ye Rou's illusion.
Ye Rou was walking beside the first-class carriage. When she was about to reach the second-class carriage, she stopped, took two steps back, and finally stopped at the end of the first-class carriage.
She bent down and looked at the bottom of the train, her eyes searching for a while, and suddenly stopped at a certain position.
"Captain Zhao, we found it."
Zhao Ming's heart was beating like a drum. He looked at Ye Rou and saw that her eyes were calm and her tone was light, as if what she found under the train was not explosives but a bag of candy.
He squatted down to look, and when he saw the bundle of gunpowder, his heart beat so fast that it almost jumped out of his chest.
Really... there really is explosives!
