On the way back to see Angel, neither of them spoke.

Hu Xiaoyan didn't know where to start, and Angel was silently thinking about Hu Xiaoyan's changes.

When he was about to arrive at the door, Hu Xiaoyan suddenly grabbed Angel: "Angel, do you remember when we were children, we went to the woods where there was no grass?" ”

Angel shook her head in confusion.

Hu Xiaoyan finally watched in disappointment as Angel disappeared into the tavern door.

That forest was accidentally entered by Hu Xiaoyan when he was playing hide and seek with his children, and there was a strange place in that wood, there was no grass and there were some black traces on the land. He didn't take it seriously.

It's just that when I was in China, I was thinking about money all day long, and suddenly one day I dreamed back to my childhood, when he was happily playing in the woods, and then suddenly stepped on the air, and then woke up.

Hu Xiaoyan's return to the UK so soon is also related to this dream. But unfortunately, it was a very young man after all, and he remembered the dream, but he couldn't remember the exact location of the woods in the dream. He only remembered that there were a few vague figures at that time, and one of them was Angel.

The next day, Hu Xiaoyan took Huo Yuanjia and Chen Xin to London and found his mentor Mike. Mike now works as a teaching assistant at the University of London.

This is not surprising at all, in general, Mike is a strange person and a talented person, he is a German-British, and his talent in natural science has been praised by many universities, but this person is not keen on scientific research, but is very persistent in education. For his achievements in education, even the Minister of Education has heard about him. Hu Xiaoyan and Angel are just one example of his educational achievements.

Mike is easy to find, he goes to the café in front of the school for a cup of coffee before going to work and then takes his lessons.

When Hu Xiaoyan found him, Mr. Mike was holding the textbook and swaying into his own world.

This time, Hu Xiaoyan brought Huo Yuanjia, Lev Davidovich and Angel. Angel went to class. The three of them sat down, but Mike still didn't notice anything. After ordering three cups of coffee, the three of them waited for Mike to come back to his senses.

"This Mr. Mike is special." Lev Davidovich said seriously.

Every persistent person will be a successful person, but they will be known for being weird before they succeed, like Albert Einstein. The same goes for Mike.

"Nope! It's not that he's special, it's that this world is too ordinary. Hu Xiaoyan replied.

It's an ordinary world, so geniuses are always not understood, such as Galileo and Copernicus.

Lev Davidovich was convinced that he made all sorts of statements in Russia aimed at urging Russia to carry out reforms, but the results were not satisfactory. The Russian nobles not only did not understand, but arrested him and exiled him to Siberia. Twenty-year-old Lev Davydovich would have spent the rest of his life in Siberia if it weren't for help.

Mike eventually completes his reverie and returns to the mortal world.

"Oh, see who this is? The handsome Hu finally knows that he is still a student? Ready to get back to the classroom? "Mike was very upset.

"Sorry, Mr. Mike!" Hu Xiaoyan looked apologetic, "I have something to ask for." ”

"What's wrong? Is it an economic issue? Mike was concerned, knowing that the student's parents had long since died, and the family's business was not making much money.

"Not really. That's right, teacher. I have the equivalent of a city councilor in China. Hu Xiaoyan brought the conversation back to the right path, "and at the same time has his own mining company. But now talent is too scarce, so there is a need for some mining professionals. ”

"Mining companies? In China! The course of the natural sciences there is really worrying. Mike suddenly realized, "So, are you trying to invite me over?" But I don't have a deep knowledge of chemistry. ”

"Mr. Mike, I also built a new university in Asia there. The university is now under construction. The number of teachers is very small, and I hope that teachers will be able to contact professors from some majors to go there. The University is located in Shanghai, China. Especially the teachers related to mining. I hope they can provide technical support to my mining company outside of school. ”

"Well, I'm afraid it's hard." Mike frowned, "You know, science is developing with each passing day, and China is a scientific desert. There is not even the bare minimum of laboratory equipment. ”

"Laboratory equipment, the school is in contact with the United States. It is said that the US Congress has agreed to this request. Hu Xiaoyan immediately explained. The U.S. Congress, of course, agreed, but President McKinley did not. President McKinley proposed an open-door policy earlier this year, hoping to have rights in other countries' concessions. His intentions against China are even more disgusting than the ambitions of the capitalists. He only wants China to buy American products, but he is wary of the export of high-class culture.

"In the same way, all the mentors will be treated twice as much. Again, the funding needed for their research will be at the top of the list of schools. Hu Xiaoyan made a guarantee.

"That's a good idea. I can try to put you in touch with the school. But you have to know that our school itself doesn't have much strength. I think you should go to Oxbridge and try it. Mike said, figuring out his pocket watch.

"It's not early. I'll go to class first. In the afternoon, after class, we will have dinner together, and I will introduce a few interested tutors to come with us. And of course, bring your Angel baby. Mr. Mike blinked.

"Definitely. Thank you. Mr. Mike. Hu Xiaoyan hurriedly stood up.

"You're welcome, you're my student! It is the teacher's duty to help the students. Mike put on his hat, picked up the civilization stick (umbrella), and walked out.

"Hu, your teacher is a good person." Lev Davidovich not only sighed.

"Of course!" Hu Xiaoyan nodded.

The two chatted happily, only Huo Yuanjia, who didn't understand English, was drinking bitter coffee with a bitter face. Hu Xiaoyan forgot to tell the waiter to add sugar.

was chatting happily, when suddenly the table was knocked and almost turned sideways, but fortunately, Huo Yuanjia pressed the table with his hand.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." It was a yellow man who spoke in English.

Hu Xiaoyan looked at the coffee on the table and the Chinese who were crying and absent-minded.

"Are you alright, sir?" Hu Xiaoyan asked worriedly. Although he didn't learn physiognomy, he has seen a lot of things related to the five elements of yin and yang, who told him to have a teacher Chen Xin who is busy writing Taijiquan theories? Hu Xiaoyan is often the first reader of each of the teacher's books.

This Chinese's face is very bad, if Hu Xiaoyan is not mistaken. Yintang blackening is the kind of person he is talking about.

The Chinese youth bent over and apologized repeatedly, and was finally helped out of the café by the waiter.

Hu Xiaoyan thought about it, and still called Lev Davidovich and Huo Yuanjia to follow.

Out of the café, Lev Davydovich said embarrassedly: "Hu, it's a pleasure to meet you, but I want to do my own thing first, how many days will you stay in England?" Will we meet again? ”

"Of course, at least half a month." Hu Xiaoyan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this Liv Davidovich put a lot of pressure on him, and every time he had the urge to pull out a gun and kill him.

"Well, I'll go to you in a while. Then I'll go first. Lev Davidovich took off his hat and bowed.

Hu Xiaoyan was dumbfounded.

Out of the café, Hu Xiaoyan and Huo Yuanjia searched for a long time but did not find the Chinese figure. Finally he stood on the Thames Bridge. Looking at the crowds of people and vehicles coming and going and the scenery under the bridge, Hu Xiaoyan and Huo Yuanjia had no interest in looking for it.

Standing on this stone bridge that has been running for decades, they look down like gods looking down on all beings. The rivers have not changed in any way, and they have flowed slowly for thousands of years, witnessing Britain step by step from backwardness and barbarism to civilization, and finally becoming an empire on which the sun never sets. It will also witness the collapse of the empire on which the sun never sets.

After going to the newspaper office to register for the recruitment advertisement and leaving the address of the embassy, Hu Xiaoyan came to the Thames Bridge again, and when they walked to the center, they saw the Chinese young man they were looking for along the way.

At this moment he was standing on the Thames Bridge, jumping into the cold and unforgiving Thames River.
