The man holding the child had hot eyes, and knelt down for Gu Yunji on the spot, kowtowing again and again: "Thank you, son!" Thank you, Childe! Your great kindness and virtue will never be forgotten in your life! ”

Gu Yunji hurriedly helped him up: "Okay, okay, don't talk about this, it's important to take the child to see a doctor first." ”

Perhaps seeing that the officers and soldiers made an exception, the displaced people in the distance gathered around to plead with Gu Yunji, all of them described sluggishness and stiffness, stretched out their hands and muttered unconsciously, their voices were like ghosts: "Son, it's good." Childe, it's good. Childe, do a good job......"

The officers and soldiers at the gate of the city reacted quickly, and in an instant, they all drew their swords and lined up in front of the homeless, shouting: "Stand back! All stand back! ”

The homeless people were so frightened that they retreated several steps in a row, and when they saw that there was no hope of entering the city, they dispersed again.

Looking at these wandering corpse-like homeless people, Gu Yunji felt very uncomfortable in his heart. Cheng Yan sighed helplessly and said, "You can save one or two, can you save tens of millions outside the city?" Yunji, you didn't have to do this today. ”

"I don't have much power, saving one is one." Gu Yunji tightened his hand at his side, his eyes were full of sadness, "Let me just watch this child die of illness, I can't do it." ”

After speaking, he closed his eyes, sorted out his emotions, and stuffed a few ingots of silver into the man's arms: "Well, this money is for you, take the child to see a doctor." ”

"Thank you, Childe!" The man said that he was about to kneel down for Gu Yunji again, but he stopped him.

Gu Yunji wanted to leave like this, but when he saw that the man looked at a loss after entering the city, he was a little uneasy, so he simply helped others to the end: "Forget it, you are not familiar with Hangzhou Fucheng, I will take you to find a doctor." ”

The man had no reason to refuse, and after thanking him for his kindness, he followed Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan straight to the pharmacy.

In the pharmacy, after the doctor methodically finished grasping the pulse and grasping the medicine, he advised: "This medicine is fried in the morning and evening, and if you drink it for seven days, it should be about the same." Although the wind chill is not a big problem, the child is weak, and the care on weekdays should be more thoughtful. ”

Gu Yunji hesitated and said, "Doctor, is there a faster way?" decoction...... It's not easy for them to stay up. ”

Hearing this, the doctor glanced at the father and daughter dressed as homeless people behind him, and sighed: "Okay, then I'll change to pills and take one pill every morning, noon and evening." But the decoction should be safer after all, so let's stay in my pharmacy for a while, and I'll go and fry a pair of medicines now, and let the child drink it before leaving. ”

Gu Yunji looked overjoyed: "Thank you, doctor!" ”

While waiting for the decoction, several people were silent. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, the man looked up and asked, "Haven't asked for the name of the benefactor yet?" If I have the opportunity in the future, I will be a cow and a horse to repay the great kindness of the two! ”

Gu Yunji chuckled, didn't take this to heart, and replied casually: "My name is Gu Yunji, and his name is Cheng Yan." You don't need to repay anything, you just need to live well with your daughter. ”

As he spoke, he looked up at the man: "What about you?" What is your name? Where did it come from? What about the rest of your family? ”

"The little one's name is Liu Dazhuang, my daughter's name is Liu Yaya, and we are from Baoding Mansion. In addition to us, there were my mother and old mother, and a thirteen-year-old son, but ......," the man's expression darkened, and his voice was a little choked, "but they all starved to death on the way. ”

Gu Yunji's expression froze, and he said a little curtly: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." ”

Liu Dazhuang's eyes were red, he touched a few handfuls of tears, and pulled the corners of his lips to squeeze out a smile: "It's okay, at least I still have a maid, and I still have a home." ”

Hearing this, Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan's hearts swelled with soreness and fell silent.

After a while, the medicine was boiled. After Liu Yaya drank the medicine, the fever quickly subsided, and her face finally became a little normal rosy. Seeing this, Liu Dazhuang gently stroked his daughter's head and breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Yunji's eyebrows remained worried, and he asked, "What are your plans now?" Looking for a job in the city? ”

Liu Dazhuang smiled bitterly: "I want to take my daughter back to the outside of the city." ”

Cheng Yan frowned, a little incomprehensible: "Back outside the city?" You've finally come to town, why do you want to go back? Wouldn't it be nice to find something to do in the city and settle down there? ”

Liu Dazhuang said: "I am a foreigner, and people can hear my accent as soon as they hear it, and no one will want to hire me." What's more, I am dressed like this, and I don't know when, I will be arrested by the officers and soldiers as a homeless person who has sneaked into the city, so it is better to go back to the city and stay with my fellow villagers to be safe. ”

He glanced at Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan, and his tone was distressing and cautious: "I was guaranteed by the two sons when I entered the city, and it is nothing that I was arrested, I am afraid that if one is careless and implicates the two benefactors, that is the real crime and deserves death." ”

Gu Yunji's heart was complicated, he opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't make a sound, and finally he could only turn his head to hold back his tears, and said bitterly: "That...... Then you should be careful. ”

After saying goodbye, Liu Dazhuang bowed solemnly and slowly to the two, and then left with his daughter in his arms.

Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan stood in place, looking at Liu Dazhuang's back as he gradually moved away, and did not speak for a long time. It wasn't until the figures of the two of them were completely invisible that Cheng Yan gently said to Gu Yunji: "Yunji, let's go, let's go back to the academy." ”

Gu Yunji didn't react, as if he was still in a trance. Cheng Yan didn't urge, just accompanied him quietly.

I don't know how long it took, Cheng Yan felt that his clothes were pulled violently, and a cold and hard voice came from his ears: "Go, go to Hangzhou Mansion!" ”

Gu Yunji's eyes were full of ink, and there was anger in his eyes that couldn't be hidden, he tightened his fist on his side, gritted his teeth and said, "I want to ask Lu Xianzhi, how does he sleep peacefully these days!" ”

A moment later, outside the yamen of Hangzhou Mansion.

Gu Yunji had a cold face and said to the guard at the door: "Gu Yunji, a student of Luxi Academy, please report if you want to see the prefect." ”

At the amusement fair before the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, Gu Yunji was in the limelight in the competition with Ren Yingze, and it spread throughout Hangzhou for a while.

The guard also followed Lu Xianzhi to the amusement club at that time, and naturally heard of Gu Yunji, so he didn't dare to slack off at this moment, and said in a good voice: "Gu Gongzi, the prefect is not here, you can come back another day." ”

Gu Yunji was angry at the moment, just thinking that this was the guard's excuse, when he heard this, the momentum around him suddenly sank, and his eyes burned as if there was a fire burning: "Not here?" Thousands of homeless people outside are so hungry that they eat bark and grass roots, and Lord Lu, who should have been sitting in the government, is not there? You're afraid you're not coaxing me! ”

The guards were so frightened by him that they shrank and told him again and again: "Gu Gongzi, how dare the little one lie to you?" The prefect is really not there, he goes out early and returns late these days, and the little one doesn't know where he went. ”

Cheng Yan was afraid that Gu Yunji would go too far, so he hurriedly reassured: "He is just a guard, don't embarrass him." It seems that Lord Lu should really be here, let's go back first and ask Xu Shanchang's opinion. ”

"What can you do when you see Lord Lu at this moment? Scold him to his face, or ask him why he didn't settle the homeless? Does that make sense? I'm afraid that one of them will accidentally anger him and put yourself in it. ”

Hearing this, Gu Yunji took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the anger in his chest, and tried to calm himself down.

After a while, he closed his eyes a little tiredly, and said to Cheng Yan weakly: "Let's go, go back to the academy." ”
