Professor Norman smiled and sat down in a rocking chair covered with a thick blanket and gestured to the couch opposite.

Chen Peng looked in the direction he was pointing, and then casually found a single sofa to sit down.

The two bodyguards were about to sit down next to Chen Peng, but the next moment, the butler was already in front of them.

"The lord wants to talk to the distinguished guests alone. The meal is already ready next door, so please move over there and wait. ”

Although the words were quite polite, judging from the tone of the butler's expression, this was an unquestionable order.

Looking at 47, who was standing next to the housekeeper, the two bodyguards moved their eyes and looked at Chen Peng.

Chen Peng waved his hand and motioned for them to follow the housekeeper out: "You guys go over first, it'll be fine, I also have something to talk to the professor alone." ”

Seeing that Chen Peng also had this attitude, the two bodyguards could only helplessly follow the housekeeper out of the room.

47 Go last, and close the door when you go out, and you should be guarding the outside.

"It's really unimaginable, I thought it was already a rare genius in a hundred years, but I didn't expect that nearly a century later, there will be a better you, it's really unpredictable." Seeing that no one else was present, Professor Norman sighed and opened the conversation.

Chen Peng knew that what Professor Norman was talking about was the late Professor Chang, who was also the leader of the original domestic supernatural world.

"You have won the award, Professor Chang is not comparable to me," Chen Peng said modestly.

"Hehe, in my opinion, Chang when you were young is definitely not as good as you. At that time, I was still working as my assistant, and I was frizzy all day long, and you have already made such a career at such a young age, which is really terrifying in comparison. ”

Hearing the secret history revealed by Professor Norman, Chen Peng asked with some curiosity: "Professor, there is still this relationship between you and Professor Chang?" ”

"yes, it's been a long time since I think about it, and if you don't mind my bad old man nagging, I can tell you more."

"Of course not, I'm very interested in your past with Professor Chang, and it's great that you can say it's a very precious moment in your life." Chen Peng complimented, he was indeed very interested in the past that was sealed in time.

"Then I'll say it." Professor Norman showed a look of remembrance, and after a long time, he slowly recounted: "It was after the end of the First World War, when I returned to Paris to teach. At that time, the University of Paris had not yet been dismantled, and the great war that had just been experienced also affected the faculty, and the faculty was very insufficient, so that we professors had to juggle several disciplines, and my work was very busy, which squeezed my personal research time, and my eye injury during the war had not yet healed, so I wanted to find an assistant to help me share some of the work pressure. The day after the recruitment notice was released, Chang appeared in my office, and I remember very well how Chang looked at that time, tall and thin, as if he had put a layer of skin on a skeleton model, but his eyes were very bright and full of curiosity, and it was easy to ignore his appearance......"

In the old man's narration, the wonderful story of an old man who was originally like ashes and a young man who came to study alone in a foreign land from the first acquaintance to the establishment of a father-son relationship is told.

“…… In one accident, I discovered his talent, it was the first time I had seen my kind, it had never been so pleasant since I found out that I was different, I confirmed that I was not alone, so I decided to train him. ”

“…… Chang has a strong ability to learn, but in a few years he has become an excellent ability, and he has learned everything I can teach. From then on, he was no longer willing to be a scholar alone, and began to have frequent contact with other groups of students and workers who were also from China, and joined an organization called the Youth League in Europe, where he became an assistant to the leader of the organization, John Knight, who returned to China in 24 to lead the organization. ”

In '29, John came to Paris again, and this time he was determined to follow John back to China and join the tide of that great era. Although I don't like any kind of revolutionary, I still express my support and blessing for Chang's choice, the eagle always has to fly, otherwise it will never become an eagle. ”

"After returning to China, Chang and I were often able to communicate through letters at first, but as the war began to spread in Asia and Europe, the situation became chaotic, and the communication of letters became more and more difficult, and finally we lost contact."

"The next time I received Chang's letter, it was when I returned to my home in Paris after the defeat of the Nazis. In the letter, he said that his dream was about to be fulfilled and that we would soon see each other again, and that he would introduce his wife and children to me...... However, this meeting lasted for several years, and when the founding of China was announced on Tiananmen Square, I came to Beijing and finally met Chang, who was already very mature and high-spirited, but also much older. ”

"Although I was often invited to settle in China, I declined, and after living for a while, I returned to Paris. Of course, we resumed correspondence and began to share and discuss the results of our research, and Chang had grown from an ignorant teenager to a comrade who could truly explore the mysteries of the world with me, which was very gratifying, and it was also the most enjoyable time for me. ”

"But more than a decade later, things have changed again."

Speaking of this, Professor Norman sighed, then took out a photo album from the side of the recliner, turned to a page, and unfolded it for Chen Peng.

Chen Peng looked at it and saw that there were several black-and-white photos on it, and the main subjects were two old men, one was Professor Norman in front of him, and the other was the face of a Chinese person, which should be Professor Chang. In the photo, Professor Chang does not seem to be in good spirits, obviously Professor Norman is much older than Professor Chang, but in the photo he looks even older than Professor Norman.

“…… I don't know what happened to him, but I decided to meet him to see if I could help him, and this photo was taken with Chang after I arrived in Beijing. ”

"I remember it was the autumn of '65, and I went through a very complicated process to meet Chang, and it was our first and last photo shoot. He said that this was his choice, that he would not shrink back when he should bear it, and that since his family had enjoyed everything that his position had brought to it, he could not run away when it was time to pay the price, and that only his grandson, a baby who was less than half a year old, was innocent, and he asked me to take this child away.
