Cross catastrophe

Chapter One
"Wine and song, life geometry."

"For example, in the morning dew, it is hard to go to the sun."

"You should be generous, and your worries will be unforgettable."

"How to relieve worries, only Du Kang."

"Green Zijin, Youyouwoxin."

"But for your sake, I have been pondering until now."

"Yo Yo Lu Ming, eat the apple of the wild."

"I have guests, harp blowing Sheng."

"Tomorrow, the sun and the moon, when can we stop?"

"Worry comes from it and cannot be cut off."

"The more strangers pass through the Qian, the use of each other is in vain."

"Qi Kuo talked about the banquet, thinking about the old kindness."

"The moon and stars are thin, and the black magpie flies south."

"Walk around the tree three times, what branch can you rely on?"

"Mountains never tire of being high, and seas never tire of being deep."

"Duke Zhou vomits and feeds, and the world returns to its heart."

A loud child's voice came from a large and bright room. A dozen children of seven or eight years old were sitting at the desk, shaking their heads, reciting this short song. Feeling alive.

An old man, about 50 years old, wearing a gray cloth gown, with a thin face and a serious expression.

Walking around the room with hands behind their backs.

The old man's surname is Chu, his name is Yuanliang, his style name is Zhongliang, and his nickname is Mr. Taohua.

Speaking of this Mr. Peach Blossom, Chu Yuanliang, he was not young. He was born in an aristocratic family. He was knowledgeable and upright.

After Li Yuan raised troops, the Sui Dynasty collapsed, the Tang Dynasty was established, the capital was Chang'an, the country was initially established, the people began to walk out of the chaos of war, and gradually entered the era of peace.

Chu Yuanliang also came to Chang'an City to settle the situation here, and one of his younger brothers, Chu Suiliang, was even more extraordinary. He followed the emperor Li Shimin who had just ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. .

And very young, the future is naturally bright and limitless.

Coming from such a family and having such relatives serving as officials in the court, Chu Yuanliang's life in Chang'an City was naturally easy.

Rejecting the invitation to become an official again, Chu Yuanliang became a teacher in this famous private school in Chang'an City, and lived a happy life.

The name Mr. Peach Blossom was chosen by the old man himself. On the one hand, Chu Yuanliang loves peach blossoms very much. The yard in his house is full of peach blossoms. Every spring, when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, the garden is full of fragrance.

Make a pot of tea, sit on the rocking chair in the yard, let alone how comfortable you are on that day.

On the other hand, Chu Yuanliang has experienced wind and rain in his life, catching up with the change of dynasty.In this time of leaving the old and welcoming the new, the old gentleman became a private school teacher, so he naturally hoped that he could be everywhere in the world.

In order to avoid the "Li" surname of the current royal family, he called himself Mr. Taohua.

As for Mr. Taohua, he has taught in Chang'an City for seven or eight years. Among his disciples, there are naturally many outstanding students. There are already hundreds of scholars who have graduated from his school, and there are even seven or eight Jinshi.

But Mr. Peach Blossom's favorite is a seven or eight-year-old child!

Among this group of children, there is a very handsome little boy with red lips and white teeth. He is the smartest child Mr. Taohua has ever seen in these years!
Not only smart, but also very studious and motivated. He is polite to teachers, filial to relatives, and friendly to classmates.

It is simply the template of the ideal student in the teacher's mind!
The little boy's name is Ye Luo. If you think that he is only excellent in knowledge and conduct, but in other aspects... such as his body, he is as weak as those scholars, then he is wrong.

Not only is Ye Luo excellent in knowledge, but his physical fitness is also completely superior to those of his peers, not much worse than those twelve or thirteen-year-old boys!
Because Mr. Peach Blossom... is not the kind of weak bookworm!

The old man punches and fights short, and is excellent in riding and shooting!

Originally, there was no martial arts course in the academy, but because the old man loved Ye Luo very much and regarded him as his personal disciple, he opened a class for Ye Luo alone.

In just one year, Ye Luo grew from a brat with no strength to restrain a chicken, to an outstanding young man who could write poems and compose Fu, and was able to fight with martial arts.

Although Mr. Taohua refused to be an official, it doesn't mean he doesn't care about the outside world.

The establishment of the Tang Dynasty, a vibrant country, is advancing at a high speed. Mr. Taohua even asserted that within 50 years, the Tang Dynasty will become the strongest country in the world.

In this kind of prosperous age, although he didn't personally participate in it, he wanted his disciples to be able to come out with a character who "can write the pen to secure the world, and use martial arts to determine the world".

Think about it, if this wish can really come true, then this life is really not in vain.

Therefore, Mr. Taohua's expectations for Ye Luo are not generally high, and treating him is completely different from treating other children.

Ordinarily, under such circumstances, the group of children around Ye Luo would inevitably feel disappointed. They were all ignorant children, and they were even more intuitive about the expression of this loss.

But what comforted the old man was that this little guy, Ye Luo, used some kind of trick to make the group of classmates around him not only not jealous of her to reject him, but instead centered on him one by one.

It seems that he has become the king of children among this group of children!

"This is definitely an extraordinary talent!" Chu Yuanliang once talked about Ye Luo to his younger brother Chu Suiliang, and concluded that this son will become a great talent when he grows up.

The young Chu Suiliang also loved Ye Luo very much.Chu Suiliang was good at calligraphy, so when he was free, he would often come to the academy to teach Ye Luo how to write.

Ye Luo was born in a merchant family. Although he was not considered a wealthy family, the Ye family was well-known in Chang'an City.

In addition, there is Ye Luo, a child prodigy who can be favored by Mr. Peach Blossom, many people are very envious of the Ye family, and even now there is a saying that "children should be like Ye Luo".

"Okay, today's class is over, this short song is enough, tomorrow morning class, I will take the school test, if I can't recite it, one word is missing, one ruler!"

Mr. Taohua said with a blank face, and a group of little urchins in the classroom suddenly let out a sound of lamentation.

It is conceivable that many people will not be able to hold bowls and chopsticks at lunch tomorrow...

After Mr. Peach Blossom finished speaking, he immediately turned and left.

Although there is pressure to recite Duan Gexing tomorrow, but the nature of children makes this group of little guys get together and play together.

A little fat man approached Ye Luo, and said with some distress: "It's over, I will be punished again tomorrow, really, how could such a long poem be memorized in one night, I really envy you, Ye Luo, you It must have been memorized, right?"

Another well-dressed child came over and said with a smile: "Ye Luo, when you recite tomorrow, can you remind me in a low voice?"

Surrounded by a group of children, Ye Luo scratched his head and said, "I reminded you before, that I was caught by the master, and my hands were hit by more and heavier boards than you..."

"Oh, you are our boss, the boss naturally has to take care of his brothers, isn't it?"

"Yes, yes, you are our boss, you will protect us for the rest of your life..."

"Ye Luo, even if I become a high official in the future, you will still be my boss!"

A group of brats made a promise here, and Ye Luo, who was surrounded in the middle, had no choice but to agree.

Although he is young, he is very concerned about the friendship between classmates.

In fact, Ye Luo also understood in his heart that although Mr. beat him every time because he helped his friends cheat, even more and more severely than others, his eyes were full of admiration.

Cheating is certainly not a good habit, so you have to be punished.

But it is a rare quality to fight against the board and help your companions.

In other words, Ye Luo is very smart. A child of seven or eight years old can see this, and it will give people a kind of monstrous feeling.

A group of little guys, after getting the promise from Ye Luo, they quickly dispersed.

Ye Luo is also preparing to go home.

From the academy to Ye's house, it was only two or three miles away. Ye Luo was alone every day.

The Tang Dynasty had just been established not many years ago, and the iron and blood atmosphere in the army was still there. Therefore, the security of Chang'an City was generally quite good, so there was no need to worry about any accidents.

However, some petty theft is inevitable in any era and anywhere.

And Ye Luo in Chang'an City, also has the title of Ye Shaoxia.

Speaking of this name, one has to mention a famous yamen servant in Chang'an City—Xue Wulie!

Xue Wulie was considered a legend in Chang'an City.

He originally joined the army and was under the command of the former prince Li Jiancheng, so he can be called a warrior.

But because of a serious leg injury in a battle, he had to leave the army and return to his hometown.

After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Xue Wulie came to Chang'an, and because he had no other means of making a living, he became a government servant.

Iron-blooded methods, meticulous thinking, and powerful skills, the combination of these three makes Xue Wulie completely different from other government servants who are just waiting to die. It didn't take long for him to solve many major cases.

For a while, the city of Chang'an became famous.

If the Xuanwu Sect hadn't happened, Xue Wulie's future would certainly not stop there.

But the world is impermanent, and a change in the Xuanwu Gate caused the death of both the prince Li Jiancheng and the fourth king of Qi Li Yuanji.

Li Shimin, king of Qin, was established as the prince. A few months later, Li Yuan abdicated, and the prince Li Shimin ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.

As a result, many people who originally belonged to Li Jiancheng's family were liquidated.

But Li Shimin is also considered a broad-minded emperor. While liquidating, he also accepted many people who originally belonged to Li Jiancheng.

Although Xue Wulie didn't have any identity, he was once labeled as Li Jiancheng.

Therefore, although he was not liquidated, he was not promoted either, and continued to be his servant.

But Xue Wulie didn't care about these things, he was alone, his family had already died in the war, as a government servant, although his salary was not much, it was more than enough to support himself.

Moreover, he can also help the people in Chang'an City arrest bad guys, and seeing the people live and work in peace and contentment is also Xue Wulie's greatest satisfaction and achievement.

The acquaintance between Xue Wulie and Ye Luo also came from a chance.

At that time, Xue Wulie was chasing a thief. This thief was very capable. His martial arts were not high, but his legs were very strong - he ran extremely fast!
This thief committed more than a dozen major crimes in Chang'an City and stole a lot of treasures. Xue Wulie has been following him for more than a month.

It was so easy to catch him this time, so naturally he refused to let it go.

However, although Xue Wulie's martial arts is high, he has a little disability in his leg. It was because of a serious injury to his leg that he was discharged from the army.

Therefore, it is not an ordinary difficulty to catch up with this thief.

Moreover, the thief also knew the crime he had committed. If he was caught, his life might be in danger, so he ran desperately.

The thief was still waving a sharp weapon in his hand. The pedestrians on the road saw him and dodged one after another.

At that time, Ye Luo was coming out of the private school, and within a few steps, he encountered this incident.

Over there, Xue Wulie was chasing wildly, while yelling to remind pedestrians to be careful not to be hurt by the thief.

Suddenly seeing a handsome little boy with red lips and white teeth appearing in front of the thief, he immediately reminded him loudly.

But Ye Luo... stood there dumbfounded as if he had been frightened, watching the thief who was wielding a bright dagger getting closer and closer to him.

"Little guy, get out of the way! It's dangerous!" Xue Wulie was burning with anxiety at the time. He would rather not catch the thief this time than see anyone get hurt.

Especially a child.

The thief was also red-eyed at the time. Seeing a child standing in front of him, he shouted loudly: "Little brat, get the hell out of here!"

As he spoke, he raised his leg and kicked Ye Luo.At the same time, the sharp dagger in his hand slashed towards Ye Luo's face.

At that time, the people around were all stunned, and Xue Wulie behind was beyond his reach.

Seeing, a tragedy...is about to happen.

At this moment, Ye Luo, who seemed to have been stunned by fright, suddenly ran towards the thief's flying feet...

"what!"

The people around suddenly let out a burst of exclamation, some were timid, and even closed their eyes in fright.

"Oh my god, is this child scared stupid?"

"Is this courting death?"

"It's over..."

"Thief... don't hurt that child!"

There were bursts of exclamations from the crowd.

And the thief is at the end of his rope at this time, so who cares whether the other party is a child?There was a fierce light in his eyes, not only did he not stop his movements, but rushed towards Ye Luo even more fiercely!

boom!
A muffled sound.

The thief's body, after flying high, fell hard on the bluestone paved ground.

Dang!

The sharp dagger also fell to the side, jumped on the ground a few times, and jumped in front of Ye Luo.

"Oh...it hurts...it hurts me to death!"

The thief kept hissing and struggled on the ground for a long time, but he couldn't get up.

The thief's eyes were full of panic, but what's more, it was an extremely unlucky expression.

The people around were also stunned at this moment, they couldn't believe their eyes, that little child was fine!

On the contrary, the thief who was waving the sharp blade, for some reason, fell to the ground... unable to move!
"Am I dazzled?"

"Hahaha, this kid is so lucky, that thief is so unlucky!"

"It's amazing, the kid is so lucky!"

The group of people who were lucky for Ye Luo didn't realize at all that the thief didn't fall because of bad luck.

It was Ye Luo who found a weakness at a critical moment, and used a single trick to pull a thousand catties, and fell there directly!
Ye Luo bent down, picked up the sharp dagger, and couldn't help but praise: "Good knife!"

The knowledge learned from the teacher on weekdays is varied. Therefore, although Ye Luo is young, his vision and insight may not be comparable to that of many adults.

Xue Wulie over there finally rushed over and subdued the thief who was still struggling on the spot. Hearing Ye Luo's words, he couldn't help laughing and said, "You're a good boy too!"

Others thought that Ye Luo was lucky and the thief was unlucky, but Xue Wulie's eyes were very vicious, so how could he fail to see that at the critical moment, the child vehemently touched the thief's ankle, causing the thief to lose his balance and directly fell down hard. there.

And in fact, what Xue Wulie saw at that moment just now was far more than that.

It is a rare quality for a seven or eight-year-old child to be able to remain calm in the face of a vicious lunatic, and he must have a strong psychological quality to do this.

Taking the initiative to attack, it shows that this child is far more courageous than countless peers, even adults... much bigger!

This is still not enough!
This child is not only very courageous, but also a practicing family.

Skill is not weak!

And pretty smart!

Knowing that he was weak, at this critical juncture, he calmly made use of his strengths and avoided his weaknesses, taking advantage of the thief's contempt for him, and easily released the thief.

It can be said that the thief fell so hard, he asked for it entirely!

Four or two strokes of a thousand catties are used skillfully, the more force the opponent uses, the stronger the backlash will be!
And up to now... I'm afraid that thief didn't feel that he was being tricked by a little boy.

I'm afraid I'm still shouting in my heart that it's unlucky!
The combination of these things makes even Xue Wulie feel terrible.

He is a person who has been on the battlefield and has experienced too many battles of life and death. It is rare for an adult to be so calm and wise like this child!

You can only see it on those real generals!
Therefore, Xue Wulie fell in love with this child almost immediately.

"This is definitely a material that can be made, and the future achievements are limitless!"

Hearing Xue Wulie's praise, Ye Luo was a little shy, smiled embarrassedly, and said nothing.

Xue Wulie quickly tied up the thief, then stood up, and cupped his fists at Ye Luo: "Little brother, thank you very much, dare to ask your name?"

The people around were taken aback, they didn't understand why this well-known yamen servant in Chang'an City was so polite to a child?

Although the thief fell to the ground because of the child, it was mainly because the thief was unlucky!
Ye Luo was also taken aback. The teacher repeatedly told him not to show his kung fu indiscriminately.

The old man once said: Heroes are prohibited by martial arts, and those in power actually don't like those heroes in the arena...

Ye Luo remembered this sentence and was always very careful, but this time, it seemed that she couldn't hide it anymore.

"Hi uncle, my name is Ye Luo!"

"Haha, it turned out to be Ye Shaoxia. Thanks to you today, I will treat you to a drink later!" Xue Wulie was in the army since he was a child, and he has no education. This opening made many people who knew him laugh.

"Xue Yaguan, don't talk nonsense, how can you invite a seven or eight-year-old child to drink?"
