Catching up with Lu Xianzhi's stunned gaze, Xu Chengyu smiled faintly: "Although my students are pampered on weekdays and have not suffered much, they are half a young man after all, and they also have the strength to do it." Running errands should be no problem for adults to send them daily. ”

Lu Xianzhi hesitated a little: "Mr. Xu, the students of Luxi Academy are all the pillars of my future, how can they condescend to do such a rough job?" What's more, the homeless people who came from other places are not very obedient, and if there is an accident that makes the students of your academy bump into each other, it will be my sin. ”

Most of the students of Luxi Academy are from families, they are sons and brothers who grew up with a golden spoon, and their backgrounds are not small, if there are three long and two short, and the elders of the family come to the door, Lu Xianzhi A small prefect can not afford this responsibility.

Xu Chengyu saw his concerns and said: "Lord Lu, don't worry, I am the mountain chief of Luxi Academy, and I raised this first, if there is a problem in the process, it will naturally fall on my head, and it has nothing to do with adults." ”

"What's more, most of them will be officials in the future, if they can't really know the people's hardships and difficulties, how can they talk about being a good official and a clean official for the sake of the people in the future? I'm afraid that if I hadn't worked hard for many years to teach, I had raised a group of moths in the imperial court! ”

Xu Chengyu's eyes were scorching, and his tone was gentle but contained determination: "Lord Lu, how about giving them a chance to hone and grow?" ”

When Lu Xianzhi was shaken, Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan stood up at the right time, and said loudly: "Gu Yunji and Cheng Yan of Luxi Academy are willing to take the lead in making a statement and obey the dispatch of adults!" ”

Seeing this, Lu Xianzhi breathed a sigh of relief, and did not hesitate: "Okay!" Luxi Academy is worthy of being a famous school in the south of the Yangtze River and the supreme institution of our Hangzhou Prefecture, with Mr. Xu as a mountain chief who understands righteousness so well, and young talents like Gu Gongzi and Cheng Gongzi, why is Luxi Academy not prosperous? Why should students not succeed? ”

As he spoke, he held Xu Chengyu's hand tightly, and his eyes were red with excitement: "Mr. Xu, don't worry, when the matter of the displaced people is over, I will definitely write a book for Luxi Academy and commend it well!" ”

If you can't get real profits, you can only give your name, Lu Xianzhi is not a fool, he can't let Luxi Academy really work for nothing, there is no reward. It is better to give some praise and praise, so that the people know their glorious deeds, so that the good name can be spread far and wide.

Xu Chengyu smiled slightly, did not refuse, and said to a few people: "Then it's decided." Master Lu and I will stay here and make some arrangements, Cheng Yan, you go back to the academy first, inform everyone to pack up and get ready, and go down the mountain as soon as possible to help. Yunji, go to the porridge shed, there should be the most shortage of manpower. ”

The two responded in unison: "Yes." ”

Time is precious, and everyone stops chatting and starts to go about their own business.

Outside the city of Hangzhou, a government official beat gongs and drums, walked in the forefront of the soup kitchen, and shouted at the homeless people: "The government has released porridge!" The government is putting porridge! Don't squeeze or grab, it's all there! Line up, the old and weak, women and children in front! ”

Hearing this, the hungry and weak homeless people suddenly had their spirits, and they staggered to their feet with bright eyes, wanting to rush over quickly, and they were afraid of the officers and soldiers around them who were looking solemnly and fiercely, so they had to slow down their pace and did not dare to rush wantonly.

There was a riot last night, and now the young and middle-aged people among the homeless people are scattered and strictly guarded, and the only people who can drink porridge at this time are the women and children who are loosely guarded.

The rest of the adult men were all watched by the officers and soldiers around them, and their bodies were also searched, and there was not even a broken bowl. Although he was very hungry at this time, he didn't dare to act rashly, so he could only lick his chapped lips and stay in place, staring at the steaming porridge bucket in the distance and swallowing saliva.

But not everyone is so honest, for example, a young man with a pockmarked face in the pile of displaced people is very unconvinced, and tentatively shouts: "Why can they receive porridge, but we can't?" If the porridge runs out later, won't we go hungry! ”

"What are you arguing about!" An officer and soldier next to him frowned and reprimanded, "I said that the women and children will come first, won't they be there for you soon?" Don't worry, the porridge is enough, as long as you are honest, you can drink it. ”

After being yelled at, this pockmark was still restless, shrunk his head and muttered in a low voice: "I'm afraid it's not coaxing us." Something like that happened yesterday, the government came today regardless of the previous suspicions, how can they be so kind? Could it be that he poisoned the porridge and wanted to take the opportunity to poison us? ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the homeless people changed, and the lively atmosphere of receiving porridge just now cooled down.

The officers and soldiers were enraged by Mazi, kicked him to the ground, pulled out half of the bright and dangling blade from his waist with a bang, and shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about!" If you dare to incite people's hearts again, Lao Tzu will kill you on the spot! ”

He bluffed people, frightened the homeless people together, and became more and more frightened, and did not dare to come forward to receive the porridge.

Gu Yunji, who was assisting in the soup kitchen, stared at the pockmarks in the crowd, and said coldly to the official beside him: "Pull him out for me!" ”

The official moved neatly, walked to the pile of people in three or two steps, grabbed the clothes behind the neck of the pockmark, and took him out without saying anything, and then kicked him in the crook of his knee, forcing him to kneel down towards Gu Yunji.

Gu Yunji examined the pockmarks up and down, and found that although he was dressed in tatters, his cheeks still had meat, and judging from the way he was struggling, his strength was not small, not as thin and thin as other homeless people, and not as if he hadn't eaten enough for several months.

With a playful expression, he asked with a smile, "Are you also a homeless?" ”

Mazi was inexplicably looked at by him, and his eyes fluttered and said, "Yes...... yes, how, not like? ”

"Not really. I haven't seen a homeless person go all the way south from the north, trekking thousands of miles, and there can still be a ......" As he spoke, Gu Yunji moved his gaze downward, stretched out his foot and kicked Mazi's thigh muscles that were so strong that he held his pants tight, "You have such a good food, and you can raise your body so well." ”

Mazi swallowed his saliva and glared at him angrily: "You, you care about me!" Anyway, I'm an exile from the north, why do you say I'm not! ”

Hearing this, Gu Yunji did not refute in a hurry, but took a long time to fold his arms and said slowly: "Then tell me, which state capital in the north are you from?" Where do you live? Do you have any of your countrymen here? ”

Mazi choked, and only after a while did he stalk his neck and said nonsense: "I...... I came from Baoding Mansion, the locust plague came and confiscated it, so poor that I sold all the houses and fields, and I had no home! My family and neighbors all died in the middle of the road, and I was the only one who came here, and I didn't have any fellow villagers! ”

"Oh? Is it, such a coincidence, there is not a single fellow villager left? Gu Yunji raised his eyebrows, his posture calm, "But I'm listening, your accent doesn't look like Baoding Mansion." ”

As he spoke, he paused, and his tone cooled down suddenly: "It seems to be local to Hangzhou Mansion." ”
