Chapter 114: The Ten-Year Covenant

Today is the spring entrance exam for the Huaxia Military Academy, and the military academy exams twice a year have always been overcrowded. Compared with the Southwest Army Academy and the Kunming Army Noncommissioned Officer School, two newly established schools that have only been established in the past one or two years, the Huaxia Military Academy has long been famous in the land of China.

Every year, countless students from the north and south come to the southwest with luggage and packages on their backs, just to enter this China's No. 1 Military Academy, which is becoming more and more famous. Some people want to chase their dreams, and some people want to devote themselves to the great cause of reforming society. In particular, after the Southwest Army's great victory over Britain and France, some newspapers reported on this miraculous military academy in the past 10 years, and in the past 10 years, it has trained a large number of qualified modern soldiers, and the outstanding of them are the commanders at all levels of this border campaign. On the one hand, there is a great temptation of the future, on the other hand, the southwest at this time has replaced Guangdong and Shanghai, and has become a place of admiration for young people in China.

This year happens to be the 20th class of the Huaxia Military Academy Cadet Admissions Examination, and as in the past, there are long queues outside the tall school gate and outside the cordon, all of which are students who have passed the initial examination and will enter the Huaxia Military Academy for the most stringent re-examination from the written test to the interview. Students from all over the world are rich and poor, but the vast majority of them are firmly staring at the gate of the tall military academy, determined to win. The habit of the Huaxia Military Academy is that there are only a few hundred students in a class, especially in the command section, and even fewer people are recruited, and many people regard the infantry command department as their own major.

Unlike the nervous students around him, the student at the front of the queue was a little different.

His name is Chai Chun.

Chai Chun tightened the thin clothes on his body, revealing a calmness that did not match his age. As the first place in the preliminary examination, Chai Chun naturally stood in the first position, and behind him were several long queues of students taking the exam, it is conceivable that if these students who are either rich and noble, or from a military family, or from a scholarly family, they will definitely be a diligent genius.

Moreover, judging from the preliminary examination questions of the Huaxia Military Academy, they have been well-known for their quality over the years, and they must not be able to get good results just by hard work, but must be a person with superhuman memory or thinking ability.

Although Chai Chun's clothes were quite old, and even the clothes and pants on his body were full of patches, they were very clean, and he didn't care.

Standing in the first position, looking up at the gate of the Huaxia Military Academy close at hand, the huge gilded characters made him think about the four big characters of the Huaxia Military Academy. The soldiers of the Southwestern Army, who were holding steel guns with bayonets, also seemed to be calling him to join his ranks.

"I can do it myself!!"

Being stared at by one or two thousand people, Chai Chun could even feel the unusual scorching, they might not be convinced, or they might think that they were lucky enough to be the first in the exam. In fact, who knows how he has come through in the past ten years.

Back then, he was just a newsboy, running the streets and alleys, just to sell some life-saving money. My mother was bedridden, and when she was dying, she couldn't sell two newspapers.

It is him, the person he has never been a stranger to in the past ten years, the person he has always been grateful to Dade for, the good person who he has never known, like a savior who fell from the sky. Not only did he magically sell all the newspapers that he couldn't sell in half an hour, but he also helped himself sell more newspapers and earn money that he couldn't make in a month. His magic and wisdom, as well as the detachment between his conversations, even made his young self think that he was the most powerful person in the world.

If that's the case, then perhaps, he is just an idol of his childhood, but, he, he actually gave himself a miraculous pill, and it was this pill that made his mother's illness completely cured within half a month. Even the old doctor in the village said that his mother was not saved, and asked his eight-year-old self to go to the relatives in the village to prepare for the funeral, but he was unwilling to wait for his mother to die, and as a result, the savior actually gave himself a medicine to completely cure his mother.

I didn't even think to ask him to leave a contact information, and what was even more unforgivable was that people helped me so much, but I didn't even know the name of Engong. This alone made him feel guilty for a whole decade.

Engong is a strange person, not only his words and deeds are different from ordinary people, but even his attitude towards people is far beyond ordinary people.

After his mother recovered, she was also grateful to the Engong whom she had never met, and in order not to disappoint him, she paid off her debts by selling newspapers and the money left by Engong. Then he took himself to a landlord's house to be a subordinate, because this notorious landlord's family opened a Western school for his relatives to go to school in order to catch up with the fashion. And my mother is responsible for cleaning the West School, so I have the opportunity to audit.

For three years in a row, he hid in the utility room next to the classroom of the West School, hiding behind the window and following the class. He is so hardworking, harder than all the landlord children and children in the classroom, whether it is hot or cold, he has never slackened half a point. I always remember what my benefactor said, "As long as you work hard, you will definitely be rewarded." As long as you are literate and willing to use your brain and think more, you will definitely have a superior solution to anything. ”

In this way, I was not bad at intelligence, and gradually embarked on an alternative learning path of diligence + thinking.

Later, because of his excellent grades, he completed a set of redundant primary school mathematics test papers given by his mother, the Yangxi School teacher, and obtained an absolute excellent score of full marks, the West School teacher who came back from Macau was shocked, and also praised the student who stood under the window of the grocery room and listened to his lecture for three years. In the end, the teacher inquired in many ways, and finally found out that there is free primary and secondary education in the area of Aizawa, he gave himself a sum of money, and he arrived in Huizawa and entered the local elementary school, because this Western teacher has laid a solid foundation and is talented, two years later, he successfully entered the first junior high school in Aizawa, and started the junior high school course at an age that is almost slightly older than his classmates.

There, he felt a sense of life, everything seemed new, and the school was full of hope. There, whether it was his classmates, teachers, or even the cleaning workers on campus, they gave him a different feeling and education, something that he couldn't feel at all in other places. Compared with those classmates, he worked harder and harder, and he was not in a hurry to finish junior high school, but read a lot of books, and spent all his spare time in the library with a rich collection of books. After three years, he not only entered the No. 1 Senior High School of Aizawa County with the first place in the third grade of junior high school, but also became the student who borrowed the most books since the establishment of the school. Subsequently, the three years of high school were also smooth sailing, he did not choose to enter an intermediate or senior technical school, nor was he prepared to apply for Southwest University and other institutions of higher learning like other students, but resolutely signed up for the entrance examination of the Huaxia Military Academy after completing his high school studies.

Use your wits and do what you want to do most. He still remembers the words of his benefactor. I will prove it through hard work and report to Eun Gong. The mother told herself that the benefactor had left her a ten-year covenant. At the end of the ten-year covenant, the mother will give herself what the benefactor has left behind.

He had a hunch that he would definitely see his benefactor again after ten years of hard work, and he would use ten years of hard work to tell Engong that he had not wasted himself in the past ten years, and he had not let his hard work go in vain.

And the best proof of this is the admission notice of this Huaxia Military Academy, which is already famous all over the country!!

"Spring Lady, Spring Lady...... Where are you, something big is wrong, something big is wrong......"

Just as Chai Chun saw a few people in military uniforms walking towards this side in the distance inside the school gate, a middle-aged man's panting voice sounded next to him, Uncle Masan, what is he looking for himself?

"Third uncle, I'm here!" Chai Chun didn't care about standing at the front, and ran out directly, Uncle Ma's voice was very sad, could it be that something happened to his mother?

"Chun Yanzi, hurry, go back and see, your mother, your mother is about to be killed!" Uncle Ma San gasped breathlessly, not forgetting to talk about the most important thing.

"What !!" When Chai Chun heard it, his mother had an accident, and this was okay. Suddenly turned around, stared at the gate of the Huaxia Military Academy, and then threw off his legs and ran home.

When Chai Chun rushed back to Uncle Ma's house more than 20 miles outside Kunming in Uncle Ma's carriage, there were already many people there. When he was on the road, Uncle Ma had already told him that his mother was worried about his exam, and he accidentally broke a vase in Chen Dashan's house because she was worried about her exam. She was beaten half to death on the spot, thrown outside the door, and threatened to let her go.

Poor Chai Ma was beaten half to death, if it wasn't for Uncle Ma San to save her back in time, he even invited a rural doctor from the township health center, which saved her, but the whole person was also half unconscious, and the appearance that she might die at any time was so frightened that Uncle Ma hurriedly went into the city and called Chai Chun back.

"Mother! ……”

When he saw his mother who was beaten insincerely, Chai Chun couldn't help it anymore, he knelt down with his legs bent, knelt down in front of his mother's bed, looked at his mother with her eyes closed and even her face with scars, she couldn't hold back anymore and cried loudly.

"Mother, why, why...... Mother, don't leave the child alone. Chai Chun only felt that the world was spinning for a while, and he saw that he was about to dream of a small success, but his mother was beaten like this by Chen Dashan. Although I have often suffered in the past, I have not been as strong as this time.

"Uncle Ma, let's go call the police!! I don't believe that Chen Dashan can be more powerful than the New Deal Axe. Chai Chun's first thought was to call the police, arrest the murderer first, and then slowly serve his mother to recover.

"No, no. The nephew of Chen Dashanren, but the director of the town police station, how can we, the Diao people, beat them, alas!! When Uncle Ma heard this, he was so frightened on the spot, how did he get it, when the mother was just beaten half to death, can the kid be sent to the door again?? For Chai's mother, Uncle Ma has been secretly in love for a long time over the years, and the two even agreed that when Chai Chun succeeds in his studies, he will treat him to do things. For Chai Chun, he regarded him as his son, an honest middle-aged farmer, how could he bear to let him die. Although Chai Ma was beaten to death, after taking the medicine given by the doctor, she was temporarily fine, and she was fine if she lay down for a few months. How could he let him take the plunge.

"No, it's impossible, there will never be such a New Deal Axe, I, I'm going!"

"Son, the New Deal is good, but, you know? Almost the entire Wanghe Township is the land of Chen Dashan's family, can we, the Diao people, take care of the new deal? If you want to be a submissive citizen, you will naturally be in charge of the political axe, and if you want to be a disobedient citizen, I am afraid that you will die miserably. "Uncle Ma resolutely disagrees with Chai Chun's idea, thinking that the student baby has been reading for a few days, which is too arbitrary." By the way, before your mother passed out, she gave me an envelope, saying that it was left for you, for fear that something would happen to you......"

Third Uncle Chai took out an old yellowed letter and handed it to Chai Chun.

"Huh?" As smart as Chai Chun, he naturally guessed something, and opened the envelope with a slight trembling hand. This is a letter that has been silent for ten years, and it is also something that I have been looking forward to for ten years, but I didn't expect it to be handed over by my mother at the same crisis.

After a long time, Chai Chun finally finished reading this short letter, a few very simple sentences, but it was like a hammer hitting his heart...... People live a lifetime, how many people do not go well, the sky will descend on the people, will suffer their minds, we have fate, against the sky to help you and how. When you read this letter, it must have been ten years since your mother had kept the promise. I can't let you soar or make you rich, but I leave you with a hope, whether you need help or are in crisis, you can take my autograph to ......"

"Son, what's written on it?"

"Third uncle, you help me take a look at my mother, I'll go to the city!!"

Chai Chun finally made up his mind, put away the incomparably precious ten-year covenant, and set off for the city.

"Report! Chief, here's a letter from your own handwriting. ”

In the office of the chief of the southwest political axe, Mao Yun first handed a yellowed envelope to Zhang Shusheng. Zhang Shusheng just glanced at it, and from the two big words in the above column: Ten years, he already understood what was going on.

"Time flies so fast, ten years in the blink of an eye." Zhang Shusheng was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but smile, that child doesn't know what is happening now, it's time to grow up, what problems will he encounter that can't be solved?

After leaving him with this indefinite request for help, he occasionally remembered the scene on the streets of Kunming back then. Even some time ago, I wondered, when will that child come to ask for help?

At that time, he was even just a small militia leader, but he not only had confidence in that child, but also in the development of his own power, otherwise, he would not have let him go to the Kunming Police Station ten years later to find him. At that time, Kunming's surname was Tang.

I didn't expect that I would see that child again today, it was really a time passing, I was already the chief of the southwest, I don't know if this child would let me down. It's okay to be poor or poor, I just hope that he won't become indifferent and unkind.

"Yun Xian, you notify the Kunming City Police Department, and say that I will go over immediately and let them receive the young man first. Also, don't tell him who I am. Zhang Shusheng couldn't help but look forward to it, he hadn't done anything out of the ordinary over the years, and like those successful heroes in history, he would expand his territory and operate his territory in a down-to-earth manner. But today, he has to do something he must do.

Even this day and this place, I can change myself, can't I fulfill my promise ten years ago?
