Chapter 179: Miss Kou Really Knows How to Look

There was a group of people kneeling in front of him, so that Xin Yu had nowhere to hide.

"Hurry up, neighbors, eat porridge to cushion your stomach, and don't go home for the time being."

After Xin Yu finished speaking, Liu Zhou shouted loudly again.

One by one, people got up. Some people just threw the basket out of fright, and more people subconsciously protected things, and the porridge was still there.

But at this time, how can everyone be in the mood to eat porridge, look around blankly, and start discussing.

"It just moved, right?"

"I guess, I felt the ground move."

"But why is it that only our house has collapsed, you see that over there, everything is fine." Someone pointed into the distance.

There didn't seem to be any change, except that more and more people were coming out of their homes to check the movement.

"I see!" A young man pointed to the collapsed house and shouted, "It's snow, it's snow!"

"It's snow!"

After a moment of silence, many people in the crowd burst into tears.

"Oh my God, we are already too poor to live, and we have to take away the house we live in......

"Woo woo, the poorer we are, the less we can get better......

Several wagons with barrels approached slowly, leaving deep indentations in the snow.

The smell of roast meat wafted as the lid of the wooden barrel was lifted, and people smelled the meat and cried slowly.

"Neighbors, people are stronger than anything else, eat meat first!" Liu Zhou said loudly.

Perhaps it was the long-term poverty that made these people accustomed to sad things and tempered their tenacity, and after a short period of emotional control, they quickly accepted the facts, skillfully lined up and waited for the meat.

"Thank you, Miss Cole."

"Thank you, Miss Coo!"

Everyone who received the roast meat thanked Xin Yu from the bottom of his heart.

Gu Yu stood in the crowd, looking at the girl who was in the spotlight, and resisted the urge to ask her.

He studied in Guozijian, and she opened a bookstore near Guozijian, and there were many opportunities to ask after that.

That's right, Guozijian!

Gu Yu's face changed, and she said to Gu Yuniang, "Mother, I want to go back to the country to take a leave of absence first."

Guozijian has a rule that points will be deducted for absenteeism without reason, and if it reaches a certain number of times, it will be withdrawn from school.

"Let's go."

Gu Yu was not at ease, and told her mother again: "Mother, I will come back immediately after taking leave, don't rush home to rummage things first, wait for me to come back."

"Mother knows, you can go quickly."

Gu Yu ran away, from a ruined home to a row of shops, the more he ran to a prosperous place, the more he looked no different from usual.

If anything, it's that more and more people are taking to the streets, talking about the light shaking of the ground.

In Guozi Prison, teachers and students are also discussing this matter.

"Gu Yu, you're late to come back today." A prisoner was very surprised to see Gu Yu who came in a hurry.

In the eyes of the inmates, Gu Yu is a good student who is never late.

"May I ask where is Eunuch Wen?"

Someone who saw Supervisor Wen pointed out where to go for Gu Yu.

Gu Yu ran over and found that in addition to Wen Jiancheng, there were also Meng Xijiu and others.

Meng Xijiu was explaining to Supervisor Wen and the others: "You appease the students, I'll go and inquire."

Although the ground movement just now was so slight that it made people feel that it was an illusion, Meng Saijiu looked solemn.

Although he had not experienced it, the books he had read had taught him that when they only felt a slight shaking, there must be a landslide and a hell on earth.

Gu Yu saluted Meng Saijiu and walked up to Wen Jiancheng: "Sir, student Gu Yu, I want to ask for a leave."

"Why take a leave of absence?" Supervisor Wen asked gently.

Guozijian is relatively strict about personal leave, and most students take personal leave because they encounter bad things.

Gu Yu lowered his head and said, "The ground shook this morning, and all the houses in the student's house were crushed by the snow."

Meng Xijiu was stunned when he heard this

turned around and strode in front of Gu Yu.

"Where do you live?"

"The student's family lives in the area of Beiloufang."

"You're from home? That...... What about the casualties?" When Meng Xijiu asked this, his heart was like a stone.

Gu Yu hesitated, "There may not be any casualties."

"How is that possible!" Several gentlemen present couldn't help but shake their heads.

Meng Saijiu's expression was strange: "No casualties?"

"The students aren't sure." Gu Yu hesitated slightly, but still told what Xin Yu had done, "When the house collapsed, the neighbors were waiting for the roast meat, and no one went back...... But there may also be those who don't go out, and the students don't know."

Meng Saijiu's face looked much better.

If what this student said is true, even if someone doesn't go out, it's a very small minority. Compared to the large number of casualties, this is an excellent result.

"Is that Miss Kou from Qingsong Bookstore?"

"Exactly."

Meng Xijiu gave Gu Yu a leave of absence for Wen Jian Cheng, and got into a carriage and went to Beiloufang with Gu Yu.

When he saw a ruin, Meng Xijiu was shocked.

The house collapsed like this, and if people were all at home at that time, how many people would have died are unimaginable.

"Where's Miss Kou?" Meng Xijiu recognized Liu Zhou, a young man from Qingsong Bookstore, and asked.

"The proprietor went back first, and told us to stay and see if there was anything we needed help with."

Meng Xijiu nodded, looking at the collapsed house in silence.

After waiting for some time for the ground to shake again, the neighbors had returned to their homes and began to rummage through the rubble for usable objects, almost with their bare hands.

Meng Sai Jiu didn't stay too long and went into the palace.

At this time, there were also many ministers who entered the palace, and they gathered together while waiting for the emperor to summon them, discussing today's changes.

Emperor Xingyuan's expression was also extremely serious when he saw his courtiers, and he immediately arranged for various yamen to understand the situation in Beijing.

At this time, the students of Guozijian didn't realize that there was any concern about the little shaking in the morning, and as the news of Gu Yu's leave spread, their attention was focused here.

[In view of the general environment,

"Did you hear about it, the houses in the Gu Yu family's area collapsed, but fortunately, Miss Kou was there to give porridge, so many people escaped."

"Why did Miss Kou go to Gu Yu's house to give porridge?"

"Who knows......

"Brother Duan, aren't you Miss Kou's cousin, do you know why Miss Kou is giving porridge there?"

Duan Yunlang, who was surrounded by the group, looked dazed: "What soup kitchen? I don't know."

In a room, Zhang Xumeng patted his thigh: "I know!"

A few younger brothers hurriedly asked, "Why?"

Zhang Xu's voice trembled with excitement: "Have you forgotten what Miss Kou said?"

"She said Gu Yu was going to have a bloody disaster—"

"That's right! Think about it, if Gu Yu hadn't been at home at that time because of Miss Kou's porridge, the house would have been pressed down as soon as it fell!"

"Hey, isn't that dead!"

"So, Miss Kou went there to give porridge just to save Gu Yu?"

"It doesn't matter!" Zhang Xu didn't care whether Gu Yu was alive or dead, "The important thing is that Miss Kou can really look at her face!"
