Under the oil lamp, Yue Ya was slightly stunned by Jiang Ning's categorical words. It took a long time to react and wanted to say something, but Jiang Ning's unquestionable eyes and the temperament radiating around him were like a pair of invisible hands.

Those words were choked back.

Jiang Ning was a little surprised by Yue Ya's reaction. When she came to her senses, she added, "Since you don't like playing chess, let me tell you a story. Do you want to listen?"

"My uncle can still tell stories?" After Yue Ya heard these words, her previous displeasure was immediately wiped away.

"But that kind of story about a talented man and a beautiful woman?"

Jiang Ning felt like he had stabbed a hornet's nest and regretted saying this very much. But looking at Yue Ya's cheerful look, he couldn't bear to refuse, so he could only smile and said: "It's not a talent or a beauty, it can only be said that they are together.

The Story of Stone.”

"The story of a stone? What's that story?" Yue Ya had already moved the stool and sat down at Jiang Yuan's table happily. He placed his hands neatly on the table, put his head on his hands, and his eyes widened.

Looking at Jiang Ning, waiting for the story of Shitou.

When Jiang Ning saw this scene, he seemed like a primary school student who was about to attend a lecture. He was a little funny and said with a smile: "A long time ago, there was a man named Jia Yucun..."

…

Just when Lin Daiyu was about to appear, Yue Ya slowly closed her eyes and fell into a drowsy sleep.

Jiang Ning was stunned. Could it be that the story he was telling was too boring? The Four Great Classics, that's impossible. He studied history and had some research on literature, but he made people fall asleep while talking about them?

Seeing Yue Ya lying on the table, his nose following the body's slow breathing, quiet and beautiful, he couldn't move, so he stood up, took a small quilt, put it on Yue Ya's body, blew out the oil lamp, and walked towards the back room.

.

"Ah..." Yue Ya's voice suddenly came from outside the hall. This voice was obviously a shy mix of surprise and surprise.

Jiang Ning was not yet asleep, so when he heard this sound, he knew that Yue Ya had woken up. A moment later, he heard the door branch opening again, followed by the sound of closing the door, thumping footsteps and the sound of the door opening next door.

Jiang Ning smiled slightly, didn't care, turned around and fell asleep.

Yue Ya's face was red, and she didn't know if the lingering power of summer had not faded away. She covered her cheeks with her hands, but they were cold: "Damn it, why did you fall asleep... Where did you hear that? Lin Daiyu? Lin Daiyu? Yes, I am sure.

I got angry and told Yue Ya a story for the first time, but Yue Ya actually fell asleep...ah..."

Yue Ya let out another exclamation and hurriedly looked at her clothes. They were all still there, and her thumping little heart gradually stabilized.

Yue Ya went to bed full of guilt, but couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning. Lin Daiyu, is there really such a beautiful woman in the world? Is she more beautiful than the oiran of Yufeng Tower? At least she should be about the same as a young lady... Wait until she falls asleep

, already has an oriental belly white.

This day happened to be the first day of the eighth lunar month, and it was also the first day Jiang Ning started running. After a set of anaerobic exercises in the early morning, he changed out of his robe, went out, and ran along the Yudai River towards the West Lake. According to his

Calculate, if you run around the Yudai River, it will be exactly ten kilometers.

On the Yudai River in the early morning, the sunlight reflects back along the sparkling river surface, occasionally dazzling the eyes. There is a girl walking down the stone steps by the river, squatting next to the bluestone with a basin of clothes; there are also small vendors selling breakfast.

Lighting a fire, green smoke curled up; some people opened the windows along the street and were busy moving around in the kitchen.

Everything is calm and peaceful in Hangzhou, with weeping willows fluttering, everyone is busy with their own affairs, and they live in peace and harmony. Those who get up early in the morning are farmers and merchants. Those talented people and beauties are sleeping soundly after a night of hustle and bustle.

Jiang Ning started his first long-distance run along the Yudai River. After a simple warm-up, he gradually increased his speed. Under the surprised eyes of everyone, the runner seemed out of tune with the world, but he didn't care.

From a distance, I saw a woman wearing coarse clothes and a square scarf wrapped around her head, chasing a duck. The duck fluttered its wings, stretched out its snow-white neck, and quacked to avoid the woman's pursuit.

The woman blocked the duck on the left and right, blocking it to the river. She pinched her waist with both hands, but she held them tightly and walked towards the duck angrily step by step.

The duck quacked, flapped its wings, and retreated into the water. The woman was obviously frightened by the squawk. When she reacted and tried to catch the duck, the duck had already fallen into the water, and the woman had already made a move to pounce forward.

The duck obviously didn't expect it when it entered the water, but at this moment it had lost its center of gravity and headed towards the water.

There was only a splash, and the woman fell into the water. The duck splashed twice and swam away quickly.

The woman drank some water in the water and struggled to call for help. It was obvious that she didn't know how to swim. It was still early in Hangzhou at this moment, and there was no one near the river. There was only one person in Jiangning in sight.

Jiang Ning didn't think much, jumped into the Yudai River, grabbed the woman's arm, and swam towards the shore with her backhand.

Fortunately, Jiang Ning was a strong swimmer in his previous life. Although his body was new and his skills were compromised, he could still save someone.

The woman seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, tightly holding on to Jiang Ning's body. Fortunately, the fall was not far away. Jiang Ning made several efforts and reached the shore.

The woman was brought up. Her clothes were covered with water plants and her shoes had been kicked off, revealing her naked feet. The feet were covered with mud from the shore and her hair was in disarray.

He spat out a few mouthfuls of river water and almost fainted.

"Miss..." A woman who looked like a maid suddenly stood on the two floors not far away, exclaimed through the kitchen window, and hurried downstairs in a panic.

Jiang Ning pressed his hands on the woman's chest and hurriedly performed artificial respiration. After two cycles, the woman finally opened her eyes suddenly and felt her chest sink. She spit out a few mouthfuls of river water before she regained consciousness.

But seeing a man lying next to her, also soaked to the skin, she immediately knew what had happened. She also knew this method of breathing to save people, but she didn't expect to use it on herself.

"ah……"

"Pa..."

When the woman exclaimed, she slapped her. Jiang Ning had no time to hide and was slapped hard on the left side of his face.

"You...you..." The woman became angry and wanted to take action again. Jiang Ning hurriedly stood up, frowned, and suddenly remembered that this was the Great Xia Dynasty, but gave a slight bitter smile and said with a smile: "No thank you, no thank you..."

After saying that, I continued running along the Yudai River without looking back. Since I was running, I only wore a single coat. It didn’t matter whether it was wet or not. Anyway, after running around for a while, I would be completely soaked.

, I don’t really care.

The woman was left half-sitting on the ground with slightly red cheeks, watching the strange man gradually run away.

"Miss, why did you fall into the water..."

"Ping'er, who saved me just now..."

"That's the man just now. What happened to Miss?"
