Golden Greenery

Wang Yuanwai is a friendly and kind person, and he warmly invites Yang Yi to go with him.

As soon as Yang left Zhaowen Hall, he left without saying goodbye. He didn't say hello to anyone, he just took his luggage and left directly. After changing his Taoist robe and putting on a middle-aged human skin mask, Huang Shang immediately disappeared from Bianliang.

After much thought, Yang Yi decided to go to Xingzhou Wufeng Mountain because he concluded that Ruda might go there.

Lu Da resigned, and this sheep had nothing to do with him, but he probably recognized that he was the master "Zhou Tong", but he didn't say it clearly. Nineteen years have passed, and Yang Yi felt that he needed to go to Ruda to clarify the matter.

Lu Da is different from Wu Song. He is his real apprentice. "Zhou Tong" is just in name. In fact, he should not have any feelings for Zhou Tong.

So after leaving Bianliang City, Yang Yi walked towards the north, but met Wang Yuanwai and his motorcade outside the city.

Wang Yuanwai is from Qilin Village, Neihuang County, Xiangzhou, which is more than 350 miles away from Bianliang. Neihuang County is on the way to Xingzhou from Yangyi.

Compiling "Wanshou Taoist Canon" and annihilating Fang La, Huang Shang's fame is too great. In order to deceive others, Yang Yi dressed up as a middle-aged scribe, and he was indeed used to flipping through an unknown book in his spare time. When Wang Yuanwai invited the sheep to go with him, he invited not only him but also all those traveling north.

There is Mount Li to the north of Bianliang. There are often strongmen cutting grass on the mountain roads. Pedestrians are easily robbed, so people going to the north will gather as much as possible. The more people, the safer they are.

They have to walk no matter what, so Yang Yi, a cultural man, accepted Wang Yuanwai's kindness and walked with them.

There were more than fifty people in total, which was a lot, and most petty thieves would not mess with them. But perhaps the seven or eight large trucks loaded with goods in the team seemed to show off their wealth, so a few gangs of thieves gathered together more than 30 people and more than 30 steel knives on the road.

Thanks to Yang Yi, he just drew his sword and beheaded the three leading bandits. The other bandits knew they were in trouble and ran faster than rabbits up the mountain.

Wang Yuanwai, who had escaped, and other passers-by immediately knelt on the ground to thank Mr. Zhou, who was both civil and military. Everyone gathered together and prepared a fairly generous thank you gift for him. Yang Yi declined because he was neither short of money nor in need of money.

When they arrived at Neihuang County, Wang Yuanwai had to take the sheep to his house as a guest, which was very sincere. Without reaching out to hit the smiling man, Yang Yi followed him to Qilin Village.

Qilin Village is a large village, and Wang Yuanwai is not the only member of the village, but he is the leading wealthy household in the village, and he is also the village's guarantor, the village chief.

After three days of good food and drinks,

Wang Yuanwai expressed his feelings - he wanted to hire Yang Yi to be his son's teacher.

Wang Yuanwai admired Yang Yi for being both civil and military. He was also very sincere in seeking a teacher for his son, and the conditions he provided for money, meals, etiquette, etc. were quite generous. But in fact, Yang Yi was still not in a hurry, and his injuries after fighting with Fang La, Deng Yuanjue and others had not yet recovered and needed to be recuperated, so he agreed to Wang Yuanwai's appointment.

Of course, this is also a reason why Wang Gui, the six-year-old Wang Yuanwai's son, is quite clever. But even so, Yang Yi, who once again used the pseudonym "Zhou Tong", also stated that he would teach for one year first and there was no guarantee that he would still stay in Qilin Village after one year.

Wang Yuanwai fully agreed. After all, this was a two-way choice. If one year later it was discovered that Yang Yi was not a good private school teacher, he could use this reason to send him off.

Wang Yuan's maternal ancestor was not a local, but he had lived in Qilin Village for three generations and had accumulated a huge family fortune. His ancestors were from Chang'an, and there are still some relatives in Guanzhong who have not yet entered the fifth service.

As a result, Yang Yi became a private school teacher in Qilin Village, Neihuang County, and soon had three jobs.

There is another Tang member in the same village. His son Tang He is also six years old this year. He has also reached the age of enlightenment. With a smile on his face, he asked Tang He to come with him to study and practice martial arts.

Zhang Xian, the six-year-old son of Zhang Yuan from the next village, entered Yang Yi's private school for the same reason. The three members have a good relationship with each other, and the three "second generation members" are also close friends since childhood.

Wang Gui, Tang He, and Zhang Xian are no different from other boys of the same age. They are naughty as young children, but also smart as they should be. Whether they are studying or practicing martial arts, their talents are average.

To be honest, Professor Yang Yi and the others didn't have any intentions and were just muddle along, because he really didn't want to stay in Qilin Village for a long time. Once his injuries were fully recovered, he would leave immediately.

But the appearance of Yue Fei made Yang Yi stay in Qilin Village for eleven years.

Less than two months after the private school opened, the widow of the Yue family, Yao, led her seven-year-old Yue Fei to kneel at the door of the school for a whole afternoon, praying to Yang Yi to accept Yue Fei as a student.

Yang Yi didn't want to agree at first, because everything must be done according to the rules. If you study and practice martial arts, you have to pay for tuition. Otherwise, it would be unfair to the members of the Wang, Tang, and Zhang families. Poverty makes people sympathize, but the way to live a poor life does not necessarily involve comparing education with children from rich families.

What made Yang Yi change his mind was a water tank in his in-law's house.

Mother-in-law Yao and Yue Fei are not from Neihuang County. The ancestors of the Yue family lived in Yuejiazhuang, Tangyin County, more than a hundred miles away. They were originally considered well-off families. But everything changed due to the once-in-a-century flood in the Yellow River seven years ago.

The flood suddenly came in the middle of the night, and Yue Fei's father only had time to push his wife and the infant Yue Fei into the vat, before he himself was washed away by the flood.

The flood was so severe that the whole city of Bianliang was hit, and the Yellow River changed its course. Yao held Yue Fei in his arms and sat in a large tank drifting with the current. He drifted to Qilin Village before being rescued by Zhuang Ding, who was outside the Wang Yuan.

The original home, Yuejiazhuang in Tangyin County, has turned into a river. Almost all the people in the village have died, and those who survived have lost their homes and land.

Wang Yuanwai was a kind man. He gave Yao a small house, rented her three acres of land, and often gave Yao some sewing work, so that she could support Yue Fei until she was seven years old.

It turned out that the Yue family was from a good family, and Yao was a literate woman who was far more knowledgeable than the average village woman. She knew very well the importance of education to Yue Fei. However, the family was so poor that they could only kneel down and beg Yangyi.

The big vat that saved the lives of mother and son was in the main room of Yue's family. There was no water in it, but it was wiped clean. On the wall above the water tank, in a niche is enshrined the Immortal Tablet of Ancestor Chen Tuan.

More than 160 years ago, Fuyaozi Chen Tuan passed by Yuejiazhuang in Tangyin County, had a meal with the Yue family, and gave the Yue family a large water tank.

Chen Tuan said to Yue Fei's ancestors: Keep this vat alive. A hundred years from now it will be an opportunity for the descendants of your Yue family.

Yao said that it was not the water tank that kept their mother and son alive seven years ago, but Patriarch Chen Tuan.

Because of Chen Tuan, Yang Yi accepted Yue Fei.

He said to Yao: "I will not accept Fei'er as a student, I will accept him as a disciple."

Note: The water tank at Yue Fei's house was indeed a gift from Fuyaozi Chen Tuan. This matter is recorded in detail in "The Complete Biography of Yue Fei".
