In the early morning of autumn, the weather in the east has just revealed a slight light, the milky white mist floats in the ancient city, and the painting boat on the Qinhuai River drives slowly, hidden in the dense fog one by one, like the Yuyu Qiong Palace floating in the sky.

In the dense fog of late autumn, Ning Yi ran along the road by the Qinhuai River while humming a song, such a workout program has been fixed every morning, anyway, for him, there is time to move forward, there are more and fewer brick and wood structures on both sides of the road, all kinds of trees, painting boats drifting on the Qinhuai River, and occasionally seeing boatmen or tired fireworks women appear on the bow of the boat.

This time period is the most interesting period of metabolism in Jiangning City, the chaos and prosperity of the night have been dissipated, the new vitality has just begun, the city gate outside has been opened, the vegetable farmers or hawkers who enter the door to catch the morning market come in one after another, go to the market one after another, there are not many people who can meet, but they all give people a feeling of green and vitality. Occasionally, you can see people who are tired, hurriedly walking on the side of the road, or even disheveled, most of them spend the night in a green building, and leave early when they have something to do during the day. The shop was half open, and the beggars had not yet risen.

Happiness often comes from unhappiness, and prosperity always comes from contrast, for Ning Yi, who has seen a modern big city, no matter how prosperous Jiangning is, it is just like that. But these things don't need to be taken seriously, after all, the simple and natural taste is real, and those who live here are always some people who are easy to satisfy, and they can smile when they have enough food and clothing.

Ning Yi occasionally talked to Qin Lao about these things, Jiang Ning is a very good city, but in fact, it is also beggars walking around, in groups, and the phenomenon of selling children and daughters is not uncommon, of course, there are many rich families here, if you can sell your children into a good mansion and become a boy and maid, you will not have enough food and clothing in the future, and you can be regarded as an ancestor who has accumulated virtue. In the future, if you can learn poetry and singing, the old bustard can also run a good business, or you can sell your art without selling yourself to become a famous prostitute, and if you are lucky, you may marry into a rich family in a big mansion as a concubine. But the vast majority of those who are unlucky, can only sell their bodies for a lifetime, to get old and decrepit when the old bustard is kind-hearted, let people free, fortunately in these places more, you can form rules, if you can abide by the rules, you can always be good and not bad in this life, of course, the good and bad here is also relatively speaking, if the old prostitutes have no money, most of the brothels will also take in the years after doing some miscellaneous cleaning, and will not be thrown out directly. After getting along for a long time, this conscience and welfare are still there, if it weren't for cities like Jiangning and Yangzhou, then even these things could not be guaranteed.

There are also thin horses, Yangzhou thin horses in later generations are famous all over the world, it is since the Ming Dynasty, but in fact, there are similar lines at this time, the scale is not large, but it is always an investment associated with the land of fireworks, as a thin horse to raise girls than the general prostitute girls have a better life, there is hope in the future, because they can at least have the opportunity to learn piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, singing and music, and they are more likely to become famous prostitutes in the future.

If the year is bad, such as the flooding of the Yellow River every few years or other natural and man-made disasters, the city will always be tense for a period of time, so that the army guards the city gate, and the victims are not allowed to enter the city...... In winter, people will always freeze to death, but also look at the year, the year is good and the death is less, if it is not good, it is self-evident, beggars are sad to survive the winter, if it snows, the next day will always see those who are frozen to death together, it is not uncommon.

You will get used to these things when you see them a lot, but Qin Lao will occasionally say, "This is not a good age." "There are good years, the first years of the Wu Dynasty can be regarded as singing and dancing, Emperor Wu Heng and Wu Huizong are very talented, Ning Yi is always a little dizzy when he listens, but any dynasty will have some years of singing and dancing. At this time, the Wu Dynasty was very similar to the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, leaving the relatively rich place in the south of the Yangtze River, several groups of peasants were rebelling, strongmen and bandits were by no means uncommon, the country called Da Liao ruled by the Wanyan clan in the north committed several times, and the border was negotiated and the peace was negotiated, and the contract was signed a few years ago, and each other was called a brotherly state. ,

Ning Yi is not worried about this, the shame of Jingkang has not yet come, although the emperor is different, if it happens, it will definitely be different, the emperor has not moved the capital to Jiangning, this country still has national strength, if you want to fight, you can always support the fight, even if you move the capital, and replace the Wu Dynasty into the Southern Song Dynasty model, the Southern Song Dynasty has not also supported it for a long time, and if the Jin State calls again, you should have finished this life. The four hundred and eighty temples of the Southern Dynasty, how many buildings are in the smoke and rain, it can be seen that the Southern Song Dynasty - uh, it doesn't seem to be the Southern Song Dynasty, Ning Yi thought about it in his heart, but there was no result, so he put it aside - whatever, anyway, the life of the Southern Song Dynasty is indeed passable.

He didn't have the idea of saving the Chinese nation or building some kind of achievements in ancient times, he was already tired, as if he had unloaded the burden of blood, and he was used to seeing many injustices and many darkness, and modern society was also dark, even if the world was miserable, it could not arouse his sympathy and resonance - not that there was none, but that it was not enough. As for the thousand-year-old feat of becoming an emperor, it is pure naïve for a person who can only live for sixty years to think about things that will last for one hundred and twenty years. But then again, when he was bored, such as standing on the edge of the relatively secluded Qinhuai River with sweat after just running and walking, Ning Yi would also irresponsibly think about things that would be slightly more positive in the eyes of others.

For example, if you really want to do something, the identity of the son-in-law is actually very troublesome, but the problem is not big, and there are business opportunities everywhere these days. There is no MSG in eating, and he knows how to make MSG, which is simple but actually a little complicated, but it takes about a year to mass-produce, and then gather some new dishes and modern cooking concepts to make a food city, how much can always make a profit.

There is no music these years, everyone who has lived in the world where you can download all kinds of music infinitely every day and listen to the past can imagine how boring it is, the performances of those Qinglou may not be good-looking, and the singing of famous prostitutes may not be good, but if you can't hear it at all, you will suddenly feel like a natural sound when you listen to a song that is slightly up to standard, if you can get an entertainment city or something, there is a lot to do, songs, dances, and all kinds of play, the lyrics of modern songs are probably not available, but the localization of tunes and singing is still no problem, a little more subtle, in line with the style of the dance concept, or copy some poems for people to sing.

He was also bored for a long time before he always thought about eating, drinking, and having fun.

As for things like getting rid of eating, drinking, and having fun, spending decades making guns and cannons to lay the foundation for an industrial revolution, and making a rebellion to be an emperor so that people in two hundred years can get on planes, etc., you can't enjoy it yourself anyway, it's really stupid to think about it, it's not as meaningful as opening a food city and an entertainment city.

The morning breeze was cool, and he was standing by the rocky bay, throwing the stones into the water, and the ideas were spinning in his head.

In fact, for the time being, I can't get any of this.

The people who have entered the Su family have basically no idea about opening the Qinglou, so they can put it back first. For example, you can first give the Su family's cloth shop a few ideas to prove your worth, and then ...... Oh, and then he will be assigned to the cloth shop as a shopkeeper or something, and then prove it more, and it will become the same profession as in his previous life, and then he can use the funds to open a tavern, and under their puzzled eyes, tell them that this is very profitable, and then next, you need to find someone to get a series of equipment, use your brains to do all kinds of tests, and get out of the assembly line, and the reason for doing this is simply because I miss the fact that I miss less than one gram of MSG in each meal, isn't this an egg pain......

Humming the melody of the blue Caribbean Sea in his mouth, Ning Yi couldn't help but laugh at his own idea. It may not be so troublesome to do, but when I think about it, I think it's very interesting, it's better to buy a few hundred catties of kelp and boil it to dry the crystals, but kelp is easy to buy, but if you do experiments in this area, on the one hand, they will say that they are wasteful, on the other hand, maybe someone will tell them that the gentleman is far away from cooking......

The blue Caribbean Sea hummed at the beginning, and the rest was forgotten, so it became "Two Tigers", and when it hummed "Two Tigers Run Fast" for the second time, there was a rooster cry on the road behind.

"Brother Brother Brother Brother ......"

"Giggle ......"

Two voices, one for a woman and one for a hen. Looking back, in the looming mist, a hen was running around the road and trees over there, and then a woman in a gray and white cloth skirt also appeared, holding a kitchen knife in her hand, persevering to chase and kill the hen, a person and a chicken were desperately spinning in the fog, appearing and disappearing. ,

Ning Yi stood under the tree by the river, holding his chin and watching this scene.

Theoretically, learning to crow is to give the chicken a sense of security and tempt it to come, but now the hens are scared like this, what's the use of calling my brother again, and it's useless to call my sister.

Thinking so in his heart, he watched this man-chicken fight for a while, and just when he felt that the woman was in good shape, the hen suddenly turned around, rushed over to this side, rushed past Ning Yi's side, and decisively threw herself into the river.

The woman also followed anxiously, the morning fog was very thick, Ning Yi stood under a tree and was not very conspicuous, the woman should not have paid attention to the person next to her, seeing that there was a river bank in front of her, she slashed down with a kitchen knife, this knife was very hard, and the woman also made a "hum" sound in her mouth, but it was not chopped at all, but the kitchen knife took off her hand and flew into the water.

Ning Yi was taken aback by the decisive momentum of this knife, and then found that the woman's body had leaned forward and was about to fall into the river with her arm waved, and he subconsciously shouted: "Hey! Reaching out and grabbing one of the woman's hands, the woman turned around, and the other hand subconsciously grabbed it, Ning Yi was about to pull her back with force, and the stones under her feet were loosened......

"Ahh

Bang –

Then there was the sound of fierce splashing, fluttering, fluttering, and churning on the surface of the river under the thick fog.

Ning Yi was still good in his previous life, but unfortunately he couldn't bring this thing. This body was originally a weak scholar, and the water nature was not very good, and the physique was injured before, although Ning Yi had been conditioning for a few months and exercising, but the time for a few months to improve was limited after all, and the woman seemed to be not very good in the water, the two of them were desperately tossing in the not very deep water, Ning Yi calmed down several times and wanted to speak, but the other party pulled him into the water.

"You...... Gollum ......"

"Hey...... Gurgling ......"

"Don't ...... Gurgling ......"

It is said that many righteous and courageous people who are good at water are affected by panicked drowning people and die together.

I don't know how long it took, Ning Yi dragged the woman up on the stairs on the bank of the river dozens of meters away, he was soaked, embarrassed, lying on the bank and spitting several mouthfuls of water before he eased up, and then went to see the rescued woman, the woman had already drunk enough water and fainted, and there was no movement.

"Hey!" Ning Yi slapped the woman's face several times, the woman's long hair was like algae, and she looked extremely desolate and unresponsive.

"Three lotus lotus floating pools...... You live by the Qinhuai River and don't know how to water, you ......" Ning Yi sighed a few times helplessly, then flattened the woman's body and began to do first aid according to the steps he had learned before.

Even if the other party is a woman, this first aid may not be a beauty difference, and it is not a swimsuit beauty, at this time, this woman is wrinkled, and her hair is like a legendary drowned water ghost, embarrassed. Ning Yi was anxious, and did several chest compressions in a row to make her vomit a lot of water, and then went to pat her face, but found that there was still no response, and pinched the other party's cheeks to do artificial respiration.

After doing it for a while, the woman woke up in a daze, and Ning Yi was about to lean over, when a slap sounded on the face, and the slap in the morning breeze was extremely crisp. The woman was crying, and her voice was desolate: "Dengzi, you ...... Cough...... What are you doing......" hugged her chest and retreated desperately, her whole body was clinging to her limbs at this time, and her slender legs were kicking on the ground, desolate and thin, to the point of feeling a little pitiful.

If there were other pedestrians passing by at this time, maybe Ning Yi would be beaten up because of this scene.

"That's what you know......," Ning Yi tilted his head for a while, slumped his shoulders, let out a long breath, and then sat down on the road behind him. The two stared at each other by the river for a while, and Ning Yi raised his hand: "It's okay, right?" ”

The woman glared at him and did not speak.

"It's okay." He replied to himself, got up from the ground with all his might, Ning Yi pursed his lips, turned around and walked in the direction he was coming from, the cool breeze was blowing, it was really cold.

Behind her, the woman also sat hunched up, watching his figure disappear and gradually disappear on the other side of the road......

The woman was so pitiful, she lost the hen and folded the knife, and walked back soaking wet, Ning Yi thought gloatingly. It was a painful thing to blow a cold wind in this situation, but the thought of others being more pitiful made his pain lessen a little.

For small things, he has always had his own open-minded way, and since things can't be changed, he has to use this method to make himself happy for the time being.
