Finish this promise.

When Zhao Xuanqi left the restaurant, he was already relaxed, and his body was inexplicably much more relaxed.

He thought about it, it should be responsibility.

Some responsibilities are missing from my shoulders.

The promise that used to be is a send-off for oneself, and the promise is no longer a simple promise, but a part of the responsibility.

The insignificant little joke in the eyes of Chen Buchang and others is a responsibility that must be done for himself.

Thankfully, it was finally done today.

This promise has been fulfilled.

As for Chen Buchang and the others, their identities have become leap earth and young masters.

Everyone has everyone's considerations and thoughts, Zhao Xuanqi can't change this matter, and he can only go with the flow.

Next, Zhao Xuanqi went to the academy to thank Master Zhou of the academy, and brought many valuable thank-you gifts by the way.

After doing all this.

Zhao Xuanqi looked up at the sky and said, "It's time to go back to the village..."

The so-called homesickness.

The closer he got to the village, the more he didn't dare to return to it, his heart was filled with an inexplicable emotion, excitement and joy, but also inexplicable fear and melancholy.

Therefore, he will stay in the county seat for some time, and after solving the affairs in the county first, he will think about returning to the village, and he wants to return to the village after unloading all the burdens.

The child is determined to go out of the countryside, and if he can't learn to become famous, he vows not to return, why bury his bones, and life is full of green mountains.

The inspirational teenager who studied was finally standing at the apex of the imperial examination.

Now, after returning from school, becoming famous, and being named on the gold list, it is time to return to the countryside to meet the villagers.

Looking back, the reason why I was able to enter the academy was because the village chief carried a lantern and knocked on the door to borrow money in the middle of the night, so that the whole village was able to enter the academy with the help of the whole village.

The villagers did not send their children to study, but they were willing to pool money to send themselves to the academy, this kindness is unimaginable and cannot be expressed in any words.

There was infinite emotion in his eyes.

In the end, all emotions turned into two words: "Go home!" ”

A group of people and horses ran out of the county town and headed towards a remote mountain village.

Zhaojia Village.

The villagers are working in the fields or busy with various farm tasks, and everyone has something to do.

At the head of the village chief's house, the village chief was chatting with Zhao Asan, including several respected villagers in the village.

"A few days ago, I sent someone to the county town to take a look, and the weeds not only passed the exam, but also won the champion mile!"

Compared with others, they pay more attention to Zhao Xuanqi, always pay attention to the time of the list, pay attention to Zhao Xuanqi's name all the time, and worry about this name.

Therefore, at the moment when the world released the list, some villagers had already gone to check the name for the first time and successfully discovered the name of Zhao Xuanqi on the list.

Only then did the villagers know that the child who used to be lonely and grew up eating hundreds of meals has become an unprecedented champion in the examination and has become a big man who stands up to the sky!

The old village chief stroked his white beard, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Indeed, I thought that the village would fund him to study, at most it would be very powerful for him to take the test as a child. ”

"Even if you are admitted to the Jinshi, you still rank first among them and get the title of champion, which is really terrifying!"

Zhao Asan muttered to himself: "I can't believe that this is the skinny kid I once led to the academy, and he was able to achieve such an achievement, which is really beyond my expectations!" ”

In fact, things not only exceeded Zhao Asan's expectations, but also exceeded the expectations of the entire village, and countless people could not predict this kind of thing.

Someone said, "Wild... Zhao Xuanqi is now the champion of fame, and he should still stay in the capital now, the capital is prosperous, and there are countless good things, do you think he will return to the county? Will you come back to the village to see us? ”

"Yes, I don't know if he will go back to the village and take a look at us fellow villagers, our poor and remote land is not as good as the prosperous big city, he may have forgotten about us." Someone lamented.

The village chief inhaled a puff of dry tobacco, spit out a long smoke ring, and said solemnly: "It's good not to come back, it's good not to come back." ”

"You also say that we are in the middle of nowhere here, why is he a champion returning to a mountain pimple like ours? How is it possible to stay in a real dragon in shallow water? He should display his ambitions in the capital and make a great career! ”

"If he wants to come back, I will definitely break his leg and drive him out of the village!"

Uncle Zhao also said: "Indeed, when Zhao Xuanqi was the first person in the examination, the county took care of our village, not only reduced taxes, but occasionally the imperial court would send people to send some gifts, and these benefits had already repaid our kindness for sponsoring him to study." ”

"And because of Zhao Xuanqi's Wenqu star name, in recent years, there are many yellow flower girls in Lijia Village, Wangjiagou, and various villages next door, and many beautiful girls are willing to marry into our village."

"The surrounding gangs and bandits did not dare to come to our village to make trouble, did not dare to collect more taxes, and treated us with great courtesy......

"It is precisely because of Zhao Xuanqi that everyone can live such a stable life now, can get so much preferential treatment, and is much richer than other villages, speaking of which Zhao Xuanqi doesn't owe us anymore, why do you want him to come back? Do you want to come back and farm like us? Isn't that dragging him into the water to make him suffer? Or do you want him to do things for us? Shame on you! ”

The person who had lamented before blushed, and said angrily, "Aren't we still allowed to miss him?" Anyway, he is also a child who has gone out of the village, I don't know if he will be bullied outside, and if anyone will help him......"

The voice became smaller and smaller, and when it came to the last word, the sound was basically the size of a mosquito, but unfortunately it clearly penetrated everyone's hearts.

His words silenced everyone.

Who's to say they don't want to?

Who doesn't have to worry?

Who doesn't feel distressed?

The villagers are short-sighted.

The biggest person they have come into contact with in their lives is basically Xiucai, and they are courteous to Xiucai.

As for the people of the higher class, they have never seen each other, they have only heard of the famous name, and they don't even dare to look directly at the frame from a distance.

Needless to say, the legendary champion didn't even dare to dream about it, and he couldn't imagine such a scene.

Just like some poor people can't imagine the luxurious life of the emperor, they simply think that the emperor is a peasant who hoes the land with a gold hoe.

They only knew that Zhao Xuanqi had won the champion, but they didn't know the weight of the champion, and they couldn't imagine the huge energy brought by the champion, and the worldview limited their imagination.

They only know that the poor children who went out of the village, the children who have been raised by everyone for more than ten years, walked out of the village alone, studied hard outside, and finally struggled to achieve a big career that was difficult for generations in the village to earn, but how big the cause is, they can't understand, they only understand that the child has made so much effort outside, and has definitely suffered a lot of grievances and suffering, and has paid unimaginable effort and suffering, more heartache, and missing.

However, the villagers did not give the child any help, and they didn't even know where to send the letter, they couldn't give words of concern, and they may even unconsciously drag him back, and the villagers felt more inferiority and shame in their hearts.

There is no way to give the child more conditions, not to give him more help, otherwise, with a person as talented and intelligent as him, he should be able to stand on a higher place!

It is precisely because the villagers really care about Zhao Xuanqi and sincerely regard Zhao Xuanqi as a member of the village, so they were able to pool the money to send him to the academy at the beginning, and everyone did not hesitate.

Speaking of this, the villagers had mixed feelings and fell silent for a while.

I look forward to Zhao Xuanqi's return, but I don't want Zhao Xuanqi to come back.

Under the interweaving of various complex emotions, everyone's faces are no longer so good, and they look a little gloomy.

However, at this moment, the sound of gongs and drums came, and a voice suddenly broke this calm: "Zhao Xuanqi is back, Zhao Xuanqi is back!" ”

In an instant, the silent village was set on fire, and countless villagers who were busy with their work pushed the door one after another, expectantly and anxiously looking for a certain figure!
