Hearing this, Li Yashi's jaw almost dropped, and he stumbled back.

"Gu Langjun is serious? Nowadays, flood fighting is a torturous hard work, and if it weren't for the face of the son here, you would have gone to the dam to move sand a long time ago. ”

Gu Yanqing's face was still indifferent, and his tone was light.

"Adults don't need to say much, it was Gu who went voluntarily, and the prince will not blame."

With that, he arched his hand.

Li Yashi didn't dare to accept such a salute, so he had to take him to the strong Ding team.

Most of this strong man team is from a village, and they all greeted Gu Yanqing when they saw it.

"Teacher Gu is here."

"Hello Teacher Gu, that kid from my family said a few days ago that he came to your class."

"Can you stand it? Why don't you pay some money and go back? ”

Whether it was questioning or caring, Gu Yanqing's attitude was equal and ignored.

At this time, there was also a familiar figure in the team, which was Shen Shilang.

When the official went to the Thirteen Villages to ask for a strong man, Boss Liu didn't want to offend the government and didn't want to hand over people, so he immediately pulled Shen Shilang out to take the head.

Shen Shilang thought he could breathe a sigh of relief after working hard for so long, but when he heard that it was a deadly job to fight the flood, he almost fainted with black eyes.

Now that he is mixed in this flood fighting team, seeing Gu Yanqing's neat and somewhat graceful appearance, he naturally hates his teeth and touches it while the people around him are not paying attention.

"I said, Gu Langjun, why did you come to fight the flood in despair? Could it be that my rebellious girl was unwilling to give you the fifty taels of silver for disaster relief, so she pushed you out. ”

Shen Shilang gloated with a gloating face, after all, it was written in the regulations that he could be exempted from forced labor if he paid fifty taels of silver, and when he saw Gu Yanqing, he knew that Shen Jinan had not paid him the silver.

"My lady is not short of money, I came voluntarily, but in your eyes, it is normal to have no righteousness."

Gu Yanqing's voice was calm, but he did not hide the disdain and disdain in his tone.

Shen Shilang was angry, and there was smoke on the top of his head, and he wanted to do it but was pushed by the officials.

"What to do, what to do? Want to make trouble? ”

The official was fierce and vicious, where did Shen Shilang still have the courage to make trouble, so he hurriedly put on a flattering smile and returned to his team in a gloomy manner.

After the team was assembled, the official surnamed Li set off with everyone and prepared to build a new dam on the Mingjiang River next to Puzhou.

When I arrived at the riverside, there were already more than 100 men carrying sandbags into the turbid river water, building a defense line little by little, but the water flow of the Ming River was very turbulent, and if I was careless, I fell into it, and the kung fu man who blinked an eye was gone.

Seeing this scene, everyone who had been mentally prepared retreated, and a few timid even wanted to escape.

But he was immediately caught by the official and taught a hard lesson with a whip.

Li Yashi glanced at everyone, his face was serious, "This is not as good as being an uncle at home!" Be careful with each of them, if any of them fall into the river without long eyes, I will be too cold to feed the fish! ”

After some reprimand, the crowd was driven to the dock like cattle and sheep, and one of them received a sandbag.

Gu Yanqing naturally received one, he carried it and checked it, but it was not too heavy.

Just when everyone was carrying sandbags and didn't dare to step forward, Gu Yanqing was the first to walk into the muddy river with sandbags.

The muddy water was not up to his waist little by little, and there was a resolute look on his grim face, and he put the sandbag on the nascent dam, and soon went to get a second bag.

Everyone looked at him stunned, and then slowly reacted, and their eyes gradually became firm.

Since Gu Yanqing can carry it, why can't they?

As if inspired, more than 20 men quickly carried sandbags in and out.

The one from Li Chunhua's family carried two sandbags at once, and was walking with his head buried in it, when suddenly the soles of his feet slipped, and he saw that he was about to fall into the river.

Everyone exclaimed, but the speed of the river was too fast, and no one reacted.

Just when he was about to be swept away by the river, a big hand grabbed him.

"Brother Xiong, hurry up!"

Gu Yanqing stood in the river water, his clothes were soaked in the muddy water, and his body shook with the waves, but his hands did not move at all.

Xiong Wei also reacted at this time, standing up little by little along Gu Yanqing's arm, and when the two of them were firmly standing in the river, a layer of sweat appeared on their foreheads, frightened.

The people around also breathed a sigh of relief for the two of them, and then praised Gu Yanqing, you said a word to me, and forgot the work in hand.

The commander surnamed Qiu, who was in charge next to him, was immediately unhappy when he saw that he had stopped here.

"Hey, what are you doing then? Chat without work! ”

Commander Qiu was in a bad mood when he received such a drudgery, and he was even more irritable at the moment.

Everyone saw that the whip in his hand was waving continuously, and they didn't dare to say anything, silently carrying the sandbag and continuing to move forward with difficulty.

More than 100 people worked by the river for a day, finally rested, and had dinner, but the weather was not beautiful, a monstrous wave swept over, and the dam that had worked so hard was destroyed in an instant.

Everyone's mood was heavy, and Gu Yanqing was naturally worried, it was completely useless to build a dam like this, even if it was built, it would be twice the result with half the effort, and when it came to the rainstorm, it would still flood the crops.

His mind was racing fast, and it was mentioned in the water conservancy road he had seen before that if the water was to be controlled, he must first start from the source, curb the middle stream, and dredge the downstream.

Now Puzhou is indecent, and it should be dredged first, but the government only wants to block it, which is not a way at all.

At this time, Commander Qiu wiped his mouth, stood up and scolded something, and flicked his whip at everyone, "What are you doing in a daze?" Didn't you see the dam collapse? It's all for Lao Tzu to make up, and if you don't make it up, you're not allowed to sleep! ”

When he commanded like this, everyone was inevitably resentful, but they didn't dare to resist because of his obscenity.

More than 100 people were busy until midnight, and finally the dam was replenished again, and Commander Qiu looked at it and felt satisfied, so everyone went to rest.

The so-called resting place is just a grass shed, dark and damp, Gu Yanqing frowned, picked up some clean straw and spread it under him, wrapped himself in his clothes and barely lay down.

The overwork during the day made many people fall asleep on the ground, but Gu Yanqing pillowed his small burden and touched the clothes that Shen Jin'an had prepared for him inside, and a warm feeling rose in his heart.

I don't know if Shen Jin'an was already asleep at this time.

On the Gu family's side, Shen Jin'an was afraid that the two children would sleep alone, so he went to their room to sleep with the futon.

After comforting the two children to sleep, Shen Jin'an couldn't sleep, she kept thinking about Gu Yanqing in her heart.

The moon in the sky was unusually bright, and the silver light shone through the window lattice, sprinkling on Shen Jin'an's slightly sad face.

But no matter how much he thought, it was useless, Shen Jin'an sighed, hugged the child and fell asleep.
