Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

A few days later, at the construction site where the government built temporary shelters for the refugees, Gu Yunji was very busy.

"Master Zhifu said that the straw added to the mud should not be too broken, otherwise it will lose its stability and make it a little bigger."

"I've already rushed over to the timber side, and it should be here soon, so there won't be a long delay."

"Be careful! You need someone to help you climb this ladder. There was only a light rain yesterday evening. The ground is very slippery, so you have to be very careful when walking, let alone building a ladder. You must ensure safety and don't take chances."

Gu Yunji didn't have any fixed job, he would just stare here and there for a while, and if there was a temporary need, he would go there to help, running around all over the construction site.Even the two yamen servants that Lu Xianzhi sent to serve him were dismissed by him with various trivial matters, so there is no one to help him now, and he can only do everything by himself.

Here, a new batch of lumber has just been delivered, perhaps because it was soaked in water, the lumber was extremely heavy, and the peasants struggled to move it, so they turned around and shouted: "Hey! Someone help me What! This wood is too heavy, just one or two more people!"

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

He lifted one end of the wood, and with the joint efforts of several people behind him, he successfully put it on his right shoulder.This piece of wood was much heavier than Gu Yunji had imagined. The moment it was placed on his shoulders, the huge gravity made his knees bend, and he almost fell down, but fortunately, he managed to support it in the end.

Seeing his legs trembling, the man behind asked worriedly: "Can you do it, Mr. Gu? If you can't, let it go first."

Gu Yunji pursed his lips, held back his breath and adjusted the wood to the proper position, blushing and said from between his teeth: "Yes... yes, let's go."

After walking a few steps, Gu Yunji slowly found the rhythm of walking in Heminfu's pace, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.Feeling that his breathing was much heavier than that of the civilian husbands, he felt helpless in his heart: It seems that the words of a scholar who are useless are not completely unreasonable.

The road was muddy, Gu Yunji was forced to tilt his head by the wood on his right shoulder, and his vision was blocked. He didn't notice that his right foot just stepped on a puddle of soft mud. 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 Gu Yunji, supporting the wood and straightening it in time. Then the man got in front of Gu Yunji, bent over and pushed the wood upwards slightly with his right shoulder, and the pressure on the group of people suddenly eased. .

Gu Yunji raised his head and looked forward. When he saw the familiar side face, he couldn't believe it: "Ren Yingze? Why are you?"

The wood was much heavier than expected. Ren Yingze's face was flushed from holding back, and the veins on his forehead were bulging. He groaned under the pressure, and replied with great difficulty: "First... don't talk, carry the wood to the... place before we talk." ..."

Seeing this, Gu Yunji immediately concentrated on it, concentrating on continuing to lift the wood.

When they reached the place, the wood was thrown down without hesitation, and bounced slightly on the ground, making a "dong" sound of collision.

Gu Yunji breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly felt lightness all over his body after the heavy weight was removed, but when he turned around, he found that Ren Yingze was grinning and rubbing his shoulders, his legs were trembling, and he seemed to be more unbearable than him.

Gu Yunji was a little funny, walked over and teased: "Yo, Mr. Ren, your body is a little weak, you can't go on like this."

Ren Yingze panted heavily, and didn't recover for a while. Hearing this, he glared at him, and retorted intermittently: "You, you are no better than me... If I hadn't helped you, you would have fallen. It's..."

"That's true, thank you very much." Gu Yunji raised his eyebrows, then changed the topic, "Speaking of which, why did Mr. Ren come here?"

Ren Yingze said unhappily: "You Luxi Academy are only allowed to show off, but we Hangzhou Academy are not allowed to contribute? Isn't it just to help, who can't do it."

These days, all the students of Luxi Academy have been mobilized, and they are busy in various places. Everyone can see it. The people's evaluation of these aristocratic princes has improved a lot. When they are mentioned, they can only praise them. They are in the limelight for a while. heyday.

Naturally, it was impossible for Hangzhou Fuxue to watch them earn their fame, so they joined in, not to be outdone.

At this time, there was a burst of laughter from behind: "Hahahahaha, good! As expected of the young talents of Luxi Academy and Hangzhou Fuxue, Mr. Gu and Mr. Ren have such perseverance to endure hardships and stand hard work. They are not arrogant or impetuous at all. There's a lot to do."

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 puffing out his chest, showing a proud look.

It's strange to say why he is so active today, it turns out it is to show off in front of the magistrate.Seeing Ren Yingze's beaming expression, Gu Yunji silently cursed in his heart.

Having not seen Gu Yunji for several days, Xu Chengyu was very concerned about it, and at this moment, the eyes looking at him could not help softening.

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

Gu Yunji didn't realize it. Hearing this, he walked towards him with a bright smile on his face: "What's the matter, teacher?"

Xu Chengyu's eyes were filled with distress, and he took out a small medicine bottle from his arms and handed it to him: "This is medicine for wounds. I will wipe it on my neck when I am free. Although it is to ask you to help, it is not to make you work hard. , not to mention that you are my apprentice, even if you do less, no one will say anything, you still have to take care of your body."

Listening to Xu Chengyu's protection and love inside and out, Gu Yunji felt a warm current in his heart, and replied: "Yes, teacher."

Seeing that it was noon, Lu Xianzhi said to the crowd: "It's getting late, so I won't go back to the city for dinner. I sent someone to deliver lunch to the gate of the city, and we'll deal with it there. I haven't entertained you well in the past two days. Please bear with me, everyone."

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 shed has already started distributing porridge, and the refugees lined up in a long line, waiting in an orderly manner to receive the porridge.

Gu Yunji was about to follow the crowd to lunch, when he passed by the refugee's shack, he saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl huddled in a corner alone, and did not go to get the 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 get the porridge? Are you not hungry?"

The girl shrank her body, and her voice was like a mosquito: "I feel a little uncomfortable..."

"Uncomfortable? Where is it 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 on guard, she wrapped her arms around her knees, and said in a low voice, "No, it's not that I'm sick..."

"Isn't it sick? That's..."

Gu Yunji was puzzled, and was about to ask again, but from the corner of his eye, he glanced at the changed clothes beside the girl.

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