Chapter 721: Escaping From Marriage

However, the only improvement was that his memory was actually preserved, and Erdan came in soon. When he saw Zhang Zhiwen, he immediately said, "Zhiwen, good news, the village chief asked you to be in charge of teaching!"

"Really?"

Lin Mingyue seemed to be more excited than Zhang Zhiwen. Obviously, this matter seemed to be extremely important to Lin Mingyue.

But Zhang Zhiwen was confused. When did he become a teacher? Could it be that he had forgotten his previous memory again? He felt that his memory was restored, but why did it disappear again?

"Husband, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and see the village chief."

Lin Mingyue pushed Zhang Zhiwen, and Zhang Zhiwen came back to his senses. Then he didn't say much. Now he took one step at a time and then saw the next step. He followed Erdan to see the village chief.

After coming out, Zhang Zhiwen found that the village was extremely beautiful. It was located at the foot of the mountain. Some houses were sparsely standing around. Between the green mountains and green waters, it was like a fairyland on earth.

He took a deep breath. The air was filled with the fragrance of flowers and soil, which was really refreshing. He gradually relaxed. Since he was here, he would take a good look at what was going on here.

Although the previous encounter was still vivid, it seemed like a long time ago. Zhang Zhiwen was a little confused about the difference between the present and the past. This secret realm was really powerful. It made him feel like a dead leaf falling into the river and could only go with the flow.

It seemed that everyone's life was like this, drifting and going with the flow.

Zhang Zhiwen followed Erdan and walked forward. Walking on the bluestone road, he felt a slight pain under his feet, and there was some silky feeling after the rain, but Zhang Zhiwen's mind had been cleared long ago. It was rare for him to have such a peaceful mood. He didn't plan to say anything. He just walked quietly on this country road.

But Erdan beside him liked to talk. Not long after he came out, he started to chatter.

"Hey, Zhiwen, although you have just been here for a short time, our village is really good. You will know it after living here for a long time."

Erdan said, but he also looked down at the road. The bluestone road was actually bumpy and uneven. If you are not careful, you will trip.

Zhang Zhiwen was a little surprised when he heard this. It turned out that his family was new, but why did they move to this place? Did they think that the scenery here was pleasant and suitable for living?

Seeing that Zhang Zhiwen didn't say anything, Erdan said to himself: "But since you are here, our village is much better. In the future, there will be someone to teach the children to read and write, and they don't have to stay in this mountain for the rest of their lives."

Erdan's words made Zhang Zhiwen unable to refute anything. He came here with his wife and children, while the people here wanted to leave this place and go to the colorful world outside, because it was too poor and people lived a hard life.

Just look at Erdan's patched clothes and you will know that even in the secret realm, this guy is still a poor man. It seems that he will never be able to get rid of the label of poverty. Zhang Zhiwen also sighed slightly and said, "I hope so."

"Haha, that's for sure, Zhiwen, when you become a teacher in the future, I can only call you Mr., but I dare not call you by your name anymore."

Erdan's eyes gradually became a little restrained when he looked at Zhang Zhiwen. Obviously, since Erdan knew that Zhang Zhiwen was a scholar, he began to respect Zhang Zhiwen.

"Oh? Why is that?" Zhang Zhiwen asked casually. He didn't understand their mentality. Why do you have to be polite when you see a teacher?

This is just a secular shackle. There are so many people to respect. Any profession is worthy of respect. Why is it that teachers are so worthy of respect? Why is it that doctors are so worthy of respect?

Is it because their profession is sacred? But in Zhang Zhiwen's view, farmers like Erdan are also great. Without farmers, how can everyone have a bite to eat? Without those carpenters and bricklayers, how can everyone live in a shelter from the wind and rain?

Aren't these people great? Aren't they worthy of respect? It seems that only teachers and doctors are worthy of respect. What kind of bullshit is this?

Anyway, Zhang Zhiwen doesn't think so. Although he is now employed as a teacher by the village chief, he never thinks that he is superior to others, and he doesn't need others to respect him so much.

"Hey, you are a teacher, I am a rough man, uneducated, illiterate, we are all illiterate. If the teacher hadn't come to our village, our village would have to stay here for generations, and no one could leave here..."

Erdan explained as a matter of course.

But the more Zhang Zhiwen listened, the more he felt uncomfortable. This so-called respect turned out to be based on greater interests?

However, Zhang Zhiwen was too lazy to argue with him about this matter, but Zhang Zhiwen had such a thought in his mind, and for a while he felt that he did not agree with Erdan's statement.

"How many children are there in the village?"

Zhang Zhiwen finally asked. In fact, he had no interest in teaching, but since the matter had already happened, he would definitely continue to look at the situation.

"Oh, there are not many children, only about 100 or 80!"

Erdan said, but this made Zhang Zhiwen speechless. What do you mean by not many? 100 or 80, this is a large group of children, noisy, he can't stand it.

Obviously, he moved to this desolate mountain valley, he didn't come here to join in the fun, let alone to teach and educate people, he came here for peace and quiet.

This is no wonder why Lin Mingyue is very happy. It turns out that Zhang Zhiwen doesn't like to be a teacher, but if he is not a teacher, what can Zhang Zhiwen do? Going to work in the fields? It seems that Lin Mingyue is not willing to let Zhang Zhiwen work in the fields.

Obviously, being a teacher is a job with a promising future and is relatively decent. It can not only educate the children in the village, but also provide food and clothing for Zhang Zhiwen's family. Lin Mingyue is naturally very happy and agrees with this matter.

At this point, Zhang Zhiwen has a headache. He doesn't know what the future direction of development will be, or what this secret realm requires him to do, but he can feel that he will probably be in a hurry for a while.

Unknowingly, Erdan brought Zhang Zhiwen to the village chief's house.

The village chief's home is no different from other homes. It is also a small bungalow with a small yard. After entering, the smell of pig feces hits your nose. This is generally the case in rural areas anyway, raising pigs, chickens and ducks. , and there was a lot of feces and urine in the cowshed on one side.

For farmers, these are natural farmyard manures, which can be accumulated for a period of time and then fertilized after fermentation. But for Zhang Zhiwen, he is not used to the smell.

He rarely lived in the countryside and almost always lived in the city. Even when he was at his most depressed, he had never experienced this kind of life in the countryside. At most, he only had the smell of feet and urine, but these things in humans are actually not It's not too smelly, but it's naturally much cleaner than domestic animals.

But when these domestic animals saw Zhang Zhiwen appear, they stopped immediately, and then looked at Zhang Zhiwen blankly. Then, a domestic dog ran out. It also looked a little confused. It looked at Zhang Zhiwen, then looked at After looking at other livestock, it suddenly turned around and ran away.

Seeing this scene, Erdan was a little strange, but he immediately laughed and said: "Oh, these beasts also know that the nobleman is here today? Hahaha, are they all dumbfounded?"

These domestic animals were awakened by Erdan's words, and then they continued to eat grass and sleep. Zhang Zhiwen also withdrew his gaze, but he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

But he didn't think much about it. Erdan had already pulled him in. The village chief's house was not big, just the front and back yards. When they came to the backyard, the village chief was still busy cooking pig food. There was a big pot of pig food. It tastes quite disgusting, but pigs are the only domestic animals that eat these things, so the taste is quite strong anyway.

Zhang Zhiwen frowned slightly, but he still greeted the village chief. When the village chief saw Zhang Zhiwen coming, he was immediately overjoyed, put down his work, and quickly showed Zhang Zhiwen and Erdan their seats.

"I don't have to sit down. There's nothing to do. I have to go. My mother-in-law is urging me to go back and do some work." Erdan had no intention of staying, and he didn't have anything to do anyway.

The village chief waved his hand, signaling him to go back quickly, and Erdan said goodbye and left.

At this time, the village chief and Zhang Zhiwen were the only ones left in the backyard. The village chief was none other than Zhang Wensheng, but Zhang Wensheng was the village chief at this time.

Naturally, Zhang Zhiwen had a very deep impression on Zhang Wensheng. Without Zhang Wensheng, there would be no Zhang Zhiwen now. After Zhang Zhiwen met Zhang Wensheng, it was the moment when Zhang Zhiwen made a major change in his path to immortality. From then on, he had extraordinary adventures. Later, Zhang Zhiwen met Zhang Wensheng. The journey is like breaking bamboo, reaching the realm of golden elixir.

But what does Zhang Wensheng’s appearance mean? Zhang Zhiwen wasn't too sure, especially since what was happening in a village was so he didn't have any other clues to refer to.

"Sir, I have thought about it and I think that I am really suitable for teaching children. As for money, don't worry, sir, we will all chip in."

Zhang Wensheng's speech was not as sophisticated and shrewd as in real life, but he also had a touch of calmness. It was obvious that he was the village chief. After being the village chief for so long, he was still somewhat dignified.

Zhang Zhiwen was a little strange. He couldn't help but said: "Village Chief, actually I don't have any skills, and I can't teach children."

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Wensheng was stunned. Obviously, he did not expect Zhang Zhiwen to say this in front of him.

"No, the village chief may have had some misunderstandings before..." Zhang Zhiwen didn't know what happened in the past. When he saw the village chief's reaction, he probably guessed that he might have promised the village chief something before.

But he really doesn’t want to be a teacher. He comes here for the sake of purity. As for how to maintain his life, he can just farm the land and chop wood. He understands this anyway, so he doesn’t have to teach. He would definitely not be able to stand teaching such a child.

"No, no, what did you just say, that you have no ability?" Zhang Wensheng waved his hand, interrupting Zhang Zhiwen.

Zhang Zhiwen was slightly stunned. Obviously, he didn't expect the village chief to care about this word, but he still said: "Yes, I really have no ability..."

"Hahaha……"

Zhang Wensheng laughed loudly, then stroked his beard and said, "Sir, if you want to use other excuses, I may still understand. You said this... Well, you are obviously teasing me..."

When Zhang Wensheng said these words, he obviously looked very disapproving, which made Zhang Zhiwen even more stunned. He didn't understand what happened before.

"Sir, you are the top scholar, but you actually say that you have no ability? Don't let me scare you, okay? Is there anyone in the world who is more capable than you?"

Zhang Wensheng said, and then waved his hand to prevent Zhang Zhiwen from continuing, but Zhang Zhiwen was speechless because he did not expect that his identity this time was actually the number one scholar.

If this is the case, then it will not be easy for him to come to this village.

"Village Chief, you must have heard this from hearsay. I am not the number one scholar..." Zhang Zhiwen also tried to quibble and confuse the village chief's thinking.

But the village chief waved his hand, not bothering to say anything more. He stood up and brought out a somewhat old notice. This notice was just a piece of paper, and Zhang Zhiwen's portrait appeared on it.

Zhang Zhiwen was speechless again. Is he a wanted criminal?

"Is this you?" Zhang Wensheng asked, with an unconscious smile on his lips. Zhang Zhiwen was speechless. He had no idea what had happened before.

"Zhang Zhiwen, male, twenty-four years old. This time he was a Jinshi in the Imperial Examination. He was the top scholar in the imperial examination and ranked first on the gold list. He was rewarded by the princess and promoted to be the Prince Consort..."

Zhang Wensheng began to read out the contents of the notice. It was obvious that this old guy was literate. No wonder he could become the village chief.

But Zhang Zhiwen didn't pay too much attention to whether Zhang Wensheng was literate. He was even more surprised by the content of the announcement. He didn't expect that he actually escaped from the marriage, but this engagement was a decree from the emperor. If Zhang Zhiwen escaped, it would be a serious crime of deceiving the emperor. !

No wonder Zhang Zhiwen wanted to take Lin Mingyue and escape to Shangougou, and he and Lin Mingyue had children. If the current Holy One knew about this, what would it be like?

"Are you speechless? In fact, I don't want to tell you this matter so directly. After all, it's not easy for you. You know, our current princess is not a good man and a woman, and her honor is really unflattering. You escape Come out, everyone can actually understand and sympathize..."

Zhang Wensheng continued, while Zhang Zhiwen had nothing to say. What happened in the secret realm this time would probably be even more outrageous.

Otherwise, why would such ridiculous things suddenly appear?

He even ran away from marriage, and he was running away from the marriage of the current princess... This is a serious crime.

"But don't worry, Sir, we are very safe here, and the Holy One does not really want to kill you, at most he is just showing up. Our Holy One is not that kind of mediocre person, but Sir, I am afraid that he will stay here with us for the rest of his life. …”

Zhang Wensheng continued, but Zhang Zhiwen still listened quietly.

"If that's the case, then why can't you be a beautiful man? We support you here, and you teach the children. Isn't that a good thing that kills two birds with one stone? Otherwise, how can the old man explain to the villagers?"
