A few days later, Gu Yunji was busy on the construction site where the government was building temporary shelters for the displaced people.

"The prefect said that the straw added to the mud should not be too broken, otherwise it will not be stable and make it a little bigger."

"I've already urged the timber side, it should be there soon, and it won't be too long."

"Be careful! Climb this ladder to someone to help, yesterday evening only a light rain, this ground is very slippery, you have to be very careful when walking, let alone take a ladder, you must ensure safety, don't take chances. ”

Gu Yunji doesn't have any fixed job, he often stares at it for a while, and if there is a temporary need, he will go to help wherever he goes, and run around the construction site. Even the two officials sent by Lu Xianzhi for him were sent by him with all kinds of trivial matters, because now there is no one to help him, so he can only do everything himself.

Here, a new batch of timber had just arrived, perhaps because it was wet, the timber was extremely heavy, and a few people couldn't move it with all their strength, so they turned around and shouted: "Hey! Can anyone help! This wood is too heavy, just one or two more! ”

"I'm coming!" Hearing the shout, Gu Yunji immediately turned his head and ran towards a few people, "I'll help you!" ”

He lifted one end of the timber and, with the joint efforts of several people behind him, successfully pressed it against his right shoulder. This piece of wood was much heavier than Gu Yunji imagined, and the moment it was put on his shoulder, the huge gravity pressed his knees and almost fell, but fortunately it was finally supported.

Seeing that his legs were trembling, the man behind him asked worriedly, "Is it okay Gu Gongzi?" If it doesn't work, put it down first. ”

Gu Yunji pursed his lips, took a breath to adjust the wood to the right position, and blushed and spit out words from between his teeth: "Can you...... Okay, let's go. ”

After walking a few steps, Gu Yunji slowly found the rhythm of marching in the pace of the people, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Feeling that his breathing was much heavier than that of the people, he felt helpless in his heart: it seems that it is useless to be a scholar, and this sentence is not completely unreasonable.

The road was muddy, Gu Yunji was forced to tilt his head by the wood on his right shoulder, his vision was blocked, and he didn't notice that his right foot just stepped on a puddle of soft mud, and suddenly the sole of his foot slipped, his center of gravity shifted, and he was about to fall.

At this moment, a pair of hands suddenly appeared in front of him to prop up the wood and straighten it in time, and then the man got in front of Gu Yunji, bent down and slightly touched the wood up with his right shoulder, and the pressure of several people was suddenly reduced.

Gu Yunji looked up and looked forward, and when he saw the familiar side face, he was a little incredulous: "Ren Yingze? How are you? ”

This wood was much heavier than expected, Ren Yingze's face was flushed, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out, he was pressed and snorted, and replied with great difficulty: "First ...... Don't talk, lift the wood to the ...... Places to talk about ......"

Seeing this, Gu Yunji hurriedly contemplated and continued to carry the wood with full concentration.

When they arrived, the wood was thrown down without hesitation, and it was thrown to the ground and bounced slightly, making a "bang" sound.

Gu Yunji breathed a long sigh of relief, and suddenly felt the lightness of his whole body after the heaviness was removed, but when he turned around, he found that Ren Yingze was grinning and rubbing his shoulders, his legs trembling again and again, looking more unbearable than him.

Gu Yunji was a little funny, walked over and teased: "Yo, Ren Gongzi, your body is a little weak, it's not okay to go on like this." ”

Ren Yingze gasped, and he didn't recover for a while, he glared at him when he heard the words, and retorted intermittently: "You, you are not much better than me...... If I hadn't helped you, you'd have fallen......"

"That's right, thank you." Gu Yunji raised his eyebrows, and then changed his words, "Speaking of which, why did Ren Gongzi come here?" ”

Ren Yingze said angrily: "You are only allowed to be in the limelight in Luxi Academy, and we are not allowed to contribute to Hangzhou Mansion?" Isn't it just helping, who won't. ”

These days, all the students of Luxi Academy have been dispatched, busy in various places, everyone is in their eyes, and the people's evaluation of these sons of the family has improved a lot, and they can only praise them, and they are in the limelight for a while.

Hangzhou Fuxue naturally couldn't watch them earn their reputation, so they were not willing to lag behind and joined in, no matter how much practical things they could do in the end, they had to do a good job in the opposite way.

At this time, there was a burst of laughter behind him: "Hahahahaha, good! is worthy of being the young talents of Luxi Academy and Hangzhou Fuxue, Gu Gongzi and Ren Gongzi can have such hard-working perseverance, not arrogant or impatient, and they will have a lot to do in the future. ”

Gu Yunji turned around and found that Lu Xianzhi and Xu Chengyu were leading the officials of Hangzhou Mansion and walking towards them. Hearing Lu Xianzhi's praise, Ren Yingze beside him couldn't help but straighten his chest and show a proud look.

It's strange why he is so active today, it turns out that he is trying to show himself in front of the prefect. Looking at Ren Yingze's eyebrows dancing, Gu Yunji silently scolded in his heart.

I hadn't seen Gu Yunji for several days, Xu Chengyu was very worried in his heart, and his gaze looking at him at this moment couldn't help but soften.

Touching the skin on the side of Gu Yunji's neck that was red from the wood, Xu Chengyu's eyes darkened, and he beckoned to him: "Yunji, come here." ”

Gu Yunji didn't realize it, and walked over to him when he heard the words, with a bright smile on his face: "What's the matter, teacher?" ”

Xu Chengyu's eyes were distressed, and he took out a small medicine bottle from his arms and handed it to him: "This is wound medicine, wipe your neck when you are free for a while." Although it is for you to help, it is not for you to make a dead effort, not to mention that you are my apprentice, even if you do a little less, no one will say anything, you still have to cherish your body. ”

Listening to Xu Chengyu's maintenance and love, Gu Yunji's heart swelled with a warm current, and he responded: "Yes, teacher." ”

Seeing that it was almost noon, Lu Xianzhi said to everyone: "It's not early, so I won't go back to the city to eat first." I sent someone to bring lunch to the city gate, and we will deal with it there. ”

Naturally, no one would pick and choose at this time, and everyone had no objection to this, so the group walked back.

Outside the city gate, the porridge shack has already begun to give porridge, and the homeless people are waiting in a long line, methodically waiting to receive the porridge.

Gu Yunji was about to follow everyone to lunch, but when he passed by the shack of the homeless people, he saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl huddled alone in the corner, not going to receive porridge like everyone else.

Gu Yunji was a little worried, and after saying hello to Xu Chengyu, he stopped and talked to her: "Girl, why don't you go to get porridge?" Aren't you hungry? ”

The girl shrunk and said like a mosquito: "I'm a little uncomfortable......"

"Uncomfortable? What's uncomfortable? Gu Yunji took two steps forward and squatted down in front of her, "If you are sick, I can take you to see a doctor, don't hide here alone, the illness will get worse and worse." ”

Seeing him approaching, the girl seemed to be a little defensive, hugged her knees with her arms, and muttered, "No, it's not sick......"

"Not sick? That's ......"

Gu Yunji was puzzled, and was about to ask again, but he glanced at the clothes that the girl had changed from her side.

Looking at the few red blood stains on it, he suddenly understood something.
