Chapter 44: Another way out of town(1/2)
There is a saying that goes, 'Ideals are full, reality is skinny.'
Li Ye had never been out of the city. He thought it was wonderful to live outside the city, but when he actually went to see it, he was disappointed. He didn't like Sanqiao Town at all. There were too many prostitutes and ruffians were rampant.
The personnel composition is extremely complex, a typical urban-suburban fusion area.
As for the villages to the south, they were very quiet, just like a paradise in the world. But he came to the Tang Dynasty not to be worldly, but to join the world.
More importantly, since he couldn't find his home, what else was he going to do outside the city?
Li Ye went to the palace in the afternoon and handed over Mo Jinma to Steward Qiao, then got on an ox cart and went home.
The driver, who was all black and fat, was very talkative and well-informed.
"What are you doing outside the city? You don't know that once the city gate is closed, you feel like a child who has been kicked out of the house by his parents. The city of Chang'an no longer belongs to you. I have lived outside the city for twenty years, and it took a lot of effort to fight for it.
After squeezing into the city, I haven’t heard of anyone willing to move outside the city.”
"You think the river water in the city is too dirty? Let me tell you, there are many clean rivers in Chang'an City. Have you ever been to the quarters where the powerful live? Go check out these four quarters: Wubenfang, Xingdaofang, Guanglufang and Taipingfang.
, the river water inside is so clear that you can drink it directly.”
"Young man, you are still young. You have to live in the city to have any chance. Outside the city is a place for retirement, and the people in those villages are very xenophobic. If you, an outsider, move here, you will be stared at like a thief."

Along the way, Balabala also completely gave up Li Ye's idea of moving outside the city.
During dinner, Pei Sanniang asked with a smile: "How was your inspection trip outside the city today?"
Li Ye sighed and said, "Mom, I don't want to move outside the city!"
Pei Sanniang and Mu Auntie looked at each other. They were not surprised at all. Pei Sanniang said with a smile: "If you don't want to go, don't go! We bought the land by the river at the back. The house also has an acre of land, and then we renovated the mud walls.
If it becomes a brick wall, you will be satisfied."
Li Ye quickly added: "Make the courtyard wall higher and fill it with broken glass!"
"What is glass?" Aunt Mu asked strangely.
Only then did Li Ye remember that the glass of the Tang Dynasty had not yet entered ordinary people's homes. He scratched his head and said: "Glass is colored glaze!"
Pei Sanniang shook her head, "You are talking crazy, Liuli can only be used by high-ranking officials, and it has nothing to do with us. But you have a good idea. You can use arrows to insert them upside down in the cracks of the bricks. I have seen someone use it, and no one dares to climb the wall.
Already."
Pei Sanniang never mentioned the matter of studying. She read her son's calligraphy practice manuscript today and found that his calligraphy was actually very good, even better than hers. He also knew a lot of calligraphy. There was no need to go to elementary school anymore.
After dinner, Li Ye began to sit at the table and practice writing. In fact, he had practiced calligraphy in another world. Although he knew how to write, his hands were not in control, so he wrote like earthworms crawling.
Starting yesterday, he tried to practice calligraphy by controlling his mind. In other words, he let his hands write according to his own consciousness. As long as he controlled the stability and strength of his hands, what structure should a word have and how to write it well?
The consciousness is clear.
After he practiced three hundred words last night, his technique became more and more proficient, and he gradually recovered most of the level of his previous life. This is the wonderful effect of controlling the mind in calligraphy.
Of course, the method of controlling the mind is not omnipotent. It does not mean that you can practice whatever you want in an instant. The premise is that you have worked hard and know how to write the words.
Li Ye had thrown away his copybook and began to write about some poems he had memorized in his previous life, but he was very cautious and tried to write poems that had already appeared. The poems and articles he had memorized in his previous life were all masterpieces by famous writers, and any one of them could shock the literary world.
If it spreads, it will bring him endless trouble.
The tide of the Spring River reaches the level of the sea, and the bright moon rises together on the sea.
The twinkling waves follow the waves for thousands of miles, but there is no moon on the spring river!

Pei Sanniang brought over a plate of snacks. Li Ye was so focused on writing that he didn't notice his mother's arrival.
Pei Sanniang looked at his handwriting and was surprised. Why was it better than yesterday's handwriting?
"Ah!" Pei Sanniang suddenly exclaimed, "Why is it "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night", Ye'er, where did you learn it?"
Li Ye rolled up his sleeves and said calmly: "I visited a bookstore a few days ago and saw this poem. I read it a few times and memorized it."
"Do you still have a photographic memory?" Pei Sanniang was even more surprised.
"I didn't have it before. After practicing the mental method with my uncle and taking the medicine he gave me, I feel that my memory is getting better and better, and the same goes for practicing calligraphy. I can write well in just a few days by practicing the mental method.
And the more you write, the better.”
Li Ye downplayed everything and attributed everything to the method of controlling his mind. Others may not believe it, but Pei Sanniang believed it.
The mental method that my son talked about was a secret skill that had been lost for many years in the Pei family. For some unknown reason, my cousin Pei Min managed to learn it successfully. Could it be that his son also has this talent?
But her son's surname is Li, not Pei! Thinking of his surname Li, Pei Sanniang suddenly thought of the handsome and gentle young man from more than ten years ago.
She slowly walked out of the room, sat on the well platform, and looked at the golden full moon in the sky. For a moment, she was lost in memories of the past.

At the first watch, Li Ye came to the backyard of the temple and saw Zhang Xiaopang chopping like crazy. He was going to move tomorrow. He didn't know if he could learn martial arts again. He vented all his anger on chopping.
middle.
Pei Min still tutored Zhang Xiaopang as usual, but Xiaopang had already practiced very well.
"I heard from Fatty that you also want to move to Sanqiao?" Pei Min asked in a deep voice as he walked to the side.
Li Ye shook his head and said: "I don't want to leave the city, and I don't want to move."
"Why?"
"No reason, I don't like outside the city!"
Pei Min was silent for a moment and asked, "Are you still going to practice swordplay in the well?"
Li Ye still shook his head, "I plan to go to Wubenfang. I heard that the water there is very clean. I can sneak into the village from the bottom of the river."
"No! The water over there is too shallow and it's easy to be seen."
Pei Min thought for a while and said to Li Ye: "Go down into the well, then climb up and show me!"
Li Ye took off his coat and jumped into the well. In just a moment, he threw the club up first, and then climbed up the well wall. When he first practiced swordplay underwater, he couldn't climb up at all. The well wall was very
It was so slippery that I could only climb up to the wellhead by pulling on the well rope.
But after practicing for a month, he gradually discovered that it was not difficult to climb the well wall. As long as there was a little gap for him to use his strength, he could easily climb up with his bare hands.
Pei Min saw him climbing up and said again: "Climb down again and don't jump!"
It was easier to climb down, and Li Ye went down in three clicks.
"Okay, come up!"
Li Ye climbed up, and Pei Min pointed at the clothes, "Put on the clothes and follow me."
"Uncle, where are you going?"
Pei Min ignored him, turned around and left.
Li Ye had no choice but to put on his coat and follow Pei Min with his club.
