Walking into the "Mingde Building" of Sichuan University, the corridor is long and the doors are lined with. Welcome to read (

I have seen that in order to maintain the historical flavor of this old building designed and built by Liang Sicheng a hundred years ago, the renovations have not made much changes to the main structure. However, now in the room used as an office, the situation is different. Small changes such as pulling circuits and pulling wires made to achieve modern office conditions can be said to be everywhere.

On the spacious and bright Academic Affairs Office on the first floor of the Red Building, Deputy Director Wang Qiuli personally verified Zhang Lisheng's information and entered the directory of the invited scholars. He looked up at the young Dr. Stanford sitting on the sofa by the wall and said enthusiastically in fluent English: "Okay, Dr. Zhang, the procedures are completed.

Welcome to officially become a visiting scholar at Sichuan University. Next, we in the West Sichuan University will be fully responsible for the "food, housing and transportation" in your academic exchanges in China in the past six months.

Accommodation is in the university guesthouse, and the environment is the standard for star hotels;

For meals, you can choose to eat in the guesthouse restaurant or the international student cafeteria, and the buffet is provided for free;

Because of the tight vehicle in college, it is difficult to guarantee your car alone. All the "car stickers" that will be subsidized for you by one hundred and fifty yuan a day. Of course, it is Chinese currency, not Mi Yuan.

Other than that, as long as it is reasonable, you can just raise it."

"You can make another request," Zhang Lisheng blurted out and said, "No, no, Ms. Wang, I came to your school for academic visits, and there is no reason to be taken care of by you."

"General visiting scholars do not have this kind of treatment, but you are an invited expert in the academic exchange program of the Ministry of Education's '100 famous universities and 1,000 international experts', and all our universities have special regulations.

Such treatment has been the result of the central government's repeated reductions after the central government advocated "severe economy". I hope it will satisfy you?" Wang Qiuli said these words and felt a sense of inexplicable superiority.

"Satisfied, I'm very satisfied, thank you." After the procedures were completed, the purpose was achieved. Zhang Lisheng, who did not want to get involved in details, shrugged and stood up from the sofa. "If Ms. Li had nothing else, I would like to settle down and collapse the jet lag first, and then go to the primitive jungle in western Sichuan to do some field research..."

"Go to the primitive jungle to do a practical job and study it on the spot?" Wang Qiuli interrupted the young man's words with wide eyes and wide eyes.

"Yes, but don't worry. I have a very rich outdoor adventure experience and don't bother with anything at your school. In fact, if you have read it, you should guess that half of the papers I wrote were written in the harsh "different world" forest."

Wang Qiuli is an administrative official in the university. How could she have read the professional papers of visiting scholars? But at this time she said she didn't know that it was obviously impolite. She could only smile bitterly: "Of course I have read your wonderful papers. But, Dr. Zhang, are you considering it? Don't be so anxious to do field research? Our university also plans to ask you to hold two or three professional lectures during the summer vacation..."

"Oh, is it a 'biology lecture' for fellow social people and students in your school? I feel honored to be invited like this. Ms. Li.

However, in this case, I will be imperative to study the original forests in western Sichuan.

After all, as a biologist, I can't use the examples from the Hawaiian Islands or the "Shrimp B1 Island" to explain the wonders of this science to biology enthusiasts or local college students in China. This is an insult to a professional scholar."

"This, this..." Wang Qiuli was stunned and refuted by Zhang Lisheng's stubbornness and persistence often shown by scholars who are focused on academic research.

"If you have no objection, then I will say goodbye. Mess. Wang." Seeing her open mouth and speaking, Zhang Lisheng shrugged and turned his gaze to Li Mingjin beside him, "Miss Li, can you take me to the accommodation place to settle down first?"

"Of course, Dr. Zhang." The girl nodded to the young man, and said to the deputy director of the Academic Affairs Office, who wanted to laugh but did not dare to laugh, at Sichuan University, "Director Wang, then I will accompany Dr. Zhang to the guesthouse first." Then, she took Zhang Lisheng away with Zheng Tianliang, who had been laughing dryly after entering the Academic Affairs Office.

After leaving the Red Mansion, the three of them walked a long distance on campus and came to a hotel with a small area but a brand-name neon sign with a 'Wangjiangge Hotel'.

"Dr. Zhang, this is the 'Wangjiang Pavilion' that was just built on our Sichuan University Wangjiang Campus this year. It is also the guesthouse with the best accommodation conditions on campus. I hope you can be satisfied." Li Mingjin said, walking up the steps and pushing open the door of the hotel.

"I'm very satisfied, Miss Li," walked into the hall, Zhang Lisheng looked around pretending to be like a slight look, nodding repeatedly, "This kind of hospitality is beyond my imagination."

"This is nothing, you are too polite." Li Mingjin smiled and walked to the counter with a generous manner to explain the situation to the deputy director on duty. He then took the room card to return to Zhang Lisheng. "Dr. Zhang, the room 'a0166' on the top floor, can overlook the entire campus. You will live in the past six months."

As soon as she finished speaking, she followed closely behind the vice chairman of the Sichuan University Student Union. The young and beautiful deputy director of the lobby also showed eight teeth and said in English, "If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Dr. Zhang at the front desk. I am honored to be able to serve you."

"Oh, thank you so much." Zhang Lisheng took the room card, glanced at Li Mingjin and the hotel lobby assistant yawned, and said with a smile.

Seeing the young man's tired look, Li Mingjin took Zheng Tianliang to say goodbye and left, while Zhang Lisheng walked into the elevator alone and came to the guest room prepared for him by Sichuan University.

Although the room is just a standard room and then a 'big bed' is replaced by a comfortable double bed, and there is no room for a living room, the huge floor and area of ​​more than 30 square meters will not make people feel cramped.

Zhang Lisheng locked the door and habitually pulled the two curtains up. Then he sat cross-legged on the bed and closed his eyes, trying to use the secret method to practice and kill time. But suddenly, his heart moved, lowered his head and murmured, "Be careful to sail for ten thousand years...", and fell on the bed, and fell asleep in a short while.

I slept for three or four hours, and when the young man woke up again, the sun was gradually setting.

He quietly walked out of the room, left the hotel, mixed in a bunch of college students on the green road on the Sichuan University campus, and left the university inconspicuously, getting into a taxi parked outside the door, "Brother, are you going to Qu County, Hengze City?"

"Hiss, Qu County, Hengze City, that's far away. If you take the expressway, you will have to travel back and forth with a bridge fee of two 'little lambs'.

When he came back, it was probably dark and he couldn't pick up a repeat customer. Oh, it's hard to leave, it's hard to leave..." The taxi driver was a tall and fat middle-aged man. He saw Zhang Lisheng's thin appearance and came out of Sichuan University again, so he did not refuse, but said a lot of difficult words.

"Brother, I'll give you a thousand five-day trip, I'll take a trip." Zhang Lisheng was no longer the simple mountain village boy. He smiled after hearing the driver's words, took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket, counted out fifteen, and handed them over.

"Oh, my little brother is very proud, I'll run away this job and I'll guarantee you to deliver you to the destination safely. Let's go." Seeing the red 100-dollar bill, the driver cracked his mouth, took the money, and slapped his chest, started the car, and turned onto the street.

After walking and stopping in the traffic in Chengdu, I finally drove onto the expressway. The taxi finally increased its speed and arrived in Hengzequ County in the evening when the sun sets.

In a few years, the county town has more than doubled, and there are high-rise communities and commercial buildings with more than 20 floors on the street. At night, the whole city is shining neon lights, and it is no longer the brightest scene in the center of the county.

"Qu County has developed enough by relying on tourism and selling wood. I saw a friend come here once half a year ago, and there were not such high-rise buildings at that time.

By the way, little brother, the county town has arrived, where are you going?"

"Brother, just park here." Zhang Lisheng looked at the street outside, which was still a little impressed, and was silent for a while, and said in a faint voice.

"Okay." Gao Fat's driver parked the taxi on the side of the road, and the young man said, "Thank you, Brother." He walked out of the car.

Although it was already night, the hot crossing wind was still blowing in the air.

"I really don't know you anymore..." Zhang Lisheng said to himself with emotion, walked along the bustling street for a while, entered a Sichuan restaurant with a clean appearance, ordered some spicy chicken, Mao Xuewang, spicy sesame fish and other hometown dishes. After a satisfying meal, he stopped a local taxi on the street and rushed to the mountain village he remembered.

The country road, which could only barely accommodate two cars when walking, has been built into four lanes, but even this road seems to be not enough. When passing the intersection of Damu Town Central Street, it was even a few minutes of traffic.

The dramatic changes in his hometown were much beyond Zhang Lisheng's expectations. A taxi drove past the town station. He looked at the dense jungle on the roadside, which seemed to have never changed and was stunned. He didn't come back to his senses until his car stopped in the open space of the threshing farm at the entrance of the village of Zhuwanwo that he came to his senses.

A bonfire party was being held on the threshing ground. It looked similar to the barbecue party that Zhang Lisheng attended in the United States, but it was a little more wild. The young man looked at the flames outside the car and took out a hundred-dollar bill and threw it to the driver. He got off the car directly, stepped on the mountain road and walked towards the direction of the Zhang family's old house.
Chapter completed!
