Chapter 222 Competition
As more and more guests came, the Wangyuan Tower became more and more lively.
Everywhere you can hear students talking and reciting poems and composing couplets. Some of them are even discussing the past and present in one second and fighting with each other in the next.
This made the two children, Ye Chao and Er Cheng, feel itchy.
"Since you can't sit still, go play! Be careful not to cause trouble, Xia San, remember to follow them."
"Yes, ma'am!"
"I know, mother"
"Don't worry, mom, we won't cause any trouble!"
Although Sicheng had no interest in fighting and killing, watching others compete was better than watching others talk about poetry and football, so he followed Ye Zhao and Ercheng closely and did not stay with Xia Shengsheng and the others.
Xia Shengsheng was relieved when he saw Sicheng had also gone and asked Xia Qi to follow as well.
Yiyi had been looking at the third floor, where several students dressed as scholars were making couplets, and she felt like joining in on the fun.
Xia Shengsheng directly pulled Yiyi and Shanshan and went to the third floor.
The rest of the people followed suit, and in the end, no one sat there obediently.
The closer you get, the clearer you can hear.
Those students who were writing couplets didn't look very old, around fifteen or sixteen years old, except for one who seemed a little special among them.
He looked to be in his thirties or forties, but he was just like everyone else, wearing a school uniform, standing in the middle of a group of students, and occasionally saying a word or two.
Maybe this person is in his thirties or forties and has not yet achieved much fame, but he still does not want to give up and does not feel ashamed to study with students who are much younger than him.
As the saying goes, learning never ends! If your family conditions allow, it is not a big deal to continue studying.
"Mom, would it be a bad idea for us to go over there?" Yiyi gently pulled the corner of Xia Shengsheng's clothes, not daring to move forward.
Xia Shengsheng covered his eyes with his hands, quietly approached Yiyi and said, "It's okay. Just treat yourself as a man now. Aren't you interested in them? If you have any ideas, speak them out loud. Just treat it as practice! Treat this as a normal cultural exchange. Don't make it too complicated and burden yourself."
Yiyi really wanted to give it a try. After listening to Xia Shengsheng's words, she calmed herself down and stood aside to listen carefully to their conversation.
A student just happened to come up with the first line of a couplet.
"The ink is fragrant in the blink of an eye."
"Okay, this first couplet is great! Who among you can come up with the right answer?"
While everyone else was thinking hard, Yiyi unconsciously recited aloud!
"I miss you so much, I am heartbroken by your thoughts under the moon and snow."
Although the sound was not loud, others heard it.
Everyone's eyes turned in Yiyi's direction.
Although Yiyi was a stranger, he didn't think anything of it.
"This brother is right. Yiren Nian Nian? Why didn't I think of it?
Several of us are students of Nanlu Academy.
I wonder which academy you are studying in?"
When asked this, Yiyi looked at Xia Shengsheng nervously.
Xia Shengsheng stepped forward and said, "We are here to study. We haven't had time to study in any academy yet. When we saw everyone making couplets, we wanted to come over and have a discussion. Please don't mind!!"
The Wangyuan Tower has always been like this. Anyone with aspirations can come here to exchange ideas. Everyone has naturally gotten used to it and there is nothing to mind.
"We are being abrupt. Since you guys are interested, why don't we come up with a few more pairs? How about one pair each?"
Yiyi was naturally willing. She had never tried this before, so she was naturally very interested in it.
So with someone taking the lead, Yiyi followed the others to make a few pairs, and Xia Shengsheng, Shanshan and others were always by their side.
Shanshan would occasionally interject a few words, but she couldn't think of a neat second line quickly. However, she enjoyed it because she was accompanying Yiyi.
Ye Chao and Er Cheng went straight to the martial arts arena and watched the people on the stage practicing martial arts, feeling itchy and excited.
I saw a muscular man knocking his opponent down with just one punch!
Ye Chao and Er Cheng looked at each other and both felt that this man was very powerful.
Several more people came up to fight, but none of them lasted more than ten moves, and they were all defeated in the end.
Ye Chao whispered a few words into Ercheng's ear, and Ercheng looked ahead and nodded.
Sicheng was confused by what his two brothers were talking about. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Ye Chao.
Ye Chao said to the big man in the middle of the martial arts arena:
"Uncle, can we challenge each other?"
The burly man looked at the two children, thinking that they were some naughty kids playing a joke on them, so he paid no attention to them and looked in other directions.
"Is there anyone else who wants to challenge me? Are you defeated already? I haven't had enough fun yet!"
Seeing this, Ye Chao and Er Cheng took another step forward and asked loudly, "Uncle, can we have a sparring match?"
The whole place fell silent in an instant, and everyone's eyes were focused on the two people.
The burly guy in the middle was also a little surprised!
If only these two kids had been driven away earlier.
It’s just that there are many people fighting right now, and no one else dares to go on stage. So I’ll just take the two kids to play, it’s no big deal!
"Hahaha! You two little brats, come up if you want to play! I won't care if I hit you if I can't control my strength! Don't go crying to your mother when the time comes!!"
After hearing this, Ye Chao and Er Cheng did not go on stage directly, but stood there and played rock-paper-scissors to see who would go on stage first.
In the end, Ye Chao won, and Ye walked to the front of the stage himself, while Er Cheng stayed behind.
"What's wrong? Is the kid scared? Why did only one of them come up?" the big man said indifferently.
"Uncle, a martial arts exchange is only effective when done one-on-one. How can we possibly fight together? We have already discussed it. I will spar with you first, and then my brother will come on stage.
We understand that we cannot beat you with your martial arts, but we two brothers have practiced martial arts for many years and want to give each other a chance to practice. Please help us, uncle! ! "
Ye Chao's words not only gave face to the big man, but also made their purpose clear.
The big man felt a little embarrassed when he found out that there was only a little kid on the field.
When he heard Ye Chao's next words, his expression changed again instantly.
"Okay, then let me see how good you are. Come on! Make your move!!"
The two figures stood opposite each other, with a huge gap between them, but they did not make people feel nervous. The people around them were just watching the fun, wanting to see whose child was so brave to challenge such a powerful opponent.
While everyone was talking, Ye Chao had already taken the lead in launching the offensive.
Seeing this, the big man on the opposite side also took it seriously and wanted to teach the two kids a move or two.
So he used the boxing style that he was best at. His boxing style was like an iron hammer, each punch was incredibly powerful, and each kick was like an iron whip, making it difficult for people to resist.
