Chapter 168 Husband and wife are of the same mind

"Sir, if you have anything to do, please tell me. As long as it is within my ability, I will do my best."

Let’s not talk about the person behind Gu Jingcheng who is “only after death”.

"I will send an official to take charge of this matter later. You and he will handle it together. He will discuss anything with you. You are familiar with this official. His surname is Wu."

"That's indeed familiar. Since it won't be too late, I'll go solve this matter with Mr. Wu."

Wu Shu, Gu Jingcheng is indeed very familiar with him.

When something happened in Su Xiaomu's shop before, he asked Wu Shu to help.

The county magistrate's master also has some unclear relationship with Wu Shu.

After Gu Jingcheng and Wu Shu said hello, they went to find Su Xiaomu together.

On the way, Gu Jingcheng couldn't help but think that he actually knew why the county magistrate did this. He just wanted to take this opportunity to make more achievements in the capital before the imperial examination.

Gu Jingcheng accepted the county prince's kindness. Of course, he knew that in the past, he might have thought too highly of himself and would not accept the county prince's kindness.

But now, all he thinks about is becoming an official as soon as possible and letting Su Xiaomu live a good life as soon as possible.

Shortcuts taken by one's own ability are not considered shortcuts.

After Gu Jingcheng figured this out, he and Wu Shu happened to arrive at Su Xiaomu's courtyard.

"The county magistrate said that we should go to the farm to kill insects together, starting with your farm."

Gu Jingcheng spoke to Su Xiaomu without blushing or heartbeat. Seeing the shock on her face, he immediately explained: "After all, it was you who made the medicine. No one in the city knows better than you."

"That's right. Let's pack up and go together."

Su Xiaomu thought about it and this was indeed the case. Now that time was running out, if we eliminate the locusts as soon as possible, the crisis facing the farmland would be lessened.

So Su Xiaomu and Gu Jingcheng rode in a carriage together, and Wu Shu and other head catchers followed them on horseback.

After arriving at the farm, Su Xiaomu and Uncle Shi immediately organized people to kill the eggs. If there were not enough eggs, Gu Jingcheng and the catchers would make up for them.

It was just that they were in full swing here, and the villagers from the next village who wandered here came around and laughed at them with nothing to do.

"Don't think I talk too much. The last time there was a locust outbreak was decades ago. We haven't heard of it for more than ten years. You don't even know what locusts look like, right?"

It was the same one who led the trouble last time. Not to mention, although Su Xiaomu was a bit face-blind, he still quickly remembered his annoying face.

"I see that you are not very old. Since you have never seen locusts, why do you think they don't exist? You say we are worrying in vain, but I think you are just sitting in a well and looking at the sky and don't know what to say?"

Su Xiaomu held the hoe in his hand and looked at him jokingly: "How about we make a bet together? If there are locusts, how about you eat all the locusts in your field?"

"You know what you're talking about?"

"Then do you know what your head is for?" Su Xiaomu was speechless when she looked at him, rolled her eyes and waved to him.

"Let's go quickly, don't waste my time here. Anyway, I heard that after the locusts have eaten the crops in the fields, they will eat people. I see that you have so much meat on your body, it should be enough for them to have a full meal."

"You! You!"

The troublemaker was so angry that Su Xiaomu turned blue in the face. Just when he was so angry that he wanted to fight Su Xiaomu, Gu Jingcheng, who heard the movement not far away, came over with his head catcher.

When he saw the villagers from the next village and his actions, his face suddenly darkened.

Wu Shu, who was following him, also hated people who came to make trouble without knowing what they were talking about. He took out the notice signed by the county magistrate himself and showed it to everyone, especially the person who made trouble.

"My lord, please open your eyes and see clearly. The county magistrate has personally ordered that all fields in the city must be sprayed with insect repellent. The locust plague is coming. If any of you do not cooperate and cause the locust plague to expand, it will be a serious crime against the nine tribes!"

Everyone present was stunned after hearing this, and they were too embarrassed to say anything more.

Oh my God, that was a locust plague, a really fatal disaster!

The Zhujiu Clan... Based on the in-law relationships in these villages, I am afraid that all of them will be killed, right?

The villagers were worried about their own heads and that they would be displaced and have no one to rely on, so everyone was very motivated to prevent and control the locust plague from the beginning.

After what happened just now, Gu Jingcheng was no longer separated from Su Xiaomu.

"I want to be with you. If there is someone as blind as before, I can protect you and never let you suffer any harm."

Gu Jingcheng's words were decisive when he finished speaking, causing Su Xiaomu to see the determination in his eyes and nodded in agreement.

The two of them worked together to control insect eggs in the farm. Most of the people in the farm had met Gu Jingcheng before.

Even those who have never seen him know that Su Xiaomu has a husband who studies.

There were people talking about Su Xiaomu behind her back before, saying that she was so capable in doing business, and she wasn't afraid of being too capable to arouse the suspicion of her husband's family?

But now, seeing the two of them getting along so well, no one who is not discerning can discuss anything in private anymore.

Everyone just whispered behind their backs that the two of them had a good relationship as husband and wife, which aroused the envy of others.

In this case, Su Xiaomu really listened a lot when he was putting out insect repellent in front.

However, she didn't feel embarrassed no matter how much she heard. This proved that both of them were good at putting on a show and were good at acting.

The insect repellent in the fields was almost complete, and Su Xiaomu and Gu Jingcheng went to the creek to investigate the situation.

The two of them went up and down, almost a hundred meters apart.

Su Xiaomu had to see if there was any problem with the water source. After all, water is the foundation of human beings. If there was a problem with the water source, even if the locusts were eliminated, it would only be a temporary solution to the disease but not the root cause.

Su Xiaomu kept poking her head towards the river. The river was not very deep, so she didn't pay much attention to her.

But at this moment, it just happened to confirm a saying: If you often walk by the river, how can your shoes not get wet?

She couldn't stand still, stepped on a mossy stone by the river, and threw herself straight into the river.

"ah!"

A shrill scream pierced the sky. When Gu Jingcheng heard the noise, he immediately ran over from a hundred meters away. Without any hesitation, he stretched out his hand to fish Su Xiaomu out of the water. Before she could react, he pulled himself out.

He took off his coat and put it on her body.

"Ah sneeze!"

Suddenly escaping from the trap, Su Xiaomu still had some time to recover.

She opened her big wet eyes and looked at him pitifully, making Gu Jingcheng unable to say a single word of reproach at this moment.

Gu Jingcheng picked her up and pressed her little head on his chest with his hands. His voice came out muffled from his throat: "Be careful next time."
