Chapter 179 Miss Kou really knows how to read faces

Author: Willow leaves in winter

There were people kneeling in front of her, leaving Xinyou with no place to hide.

"Neighbors, get up quickly. Let's eat some porridge to satisfy our stomachs. We don't want to go home for the time being."

After Xin You finished speaking, Liu Zhou shouted again at the top of his lungs.

People got up one after another. Some people just threw the basket away because they were frightened, and more people consciously protected their things, and the porridge was there.

But at that time, no one was in the mood to eat porridge, looked around blankly, and started talking.

"Did the earthquake just happen?"

"Should I? He felt the ground move."

"But why are the houses in our area collapsed? Look over there, everything is fine." Someone pointed to the distance.

There seemed to be no change there, but more and more people came out of their homes to check what was going on.

"He knows!" A young man pointed at the collapsed house and shouted, "It's snow, it was crushed by snow!"

"It's actually snow!"

After a moment of silence, many people in the crowd burst into tears.

"Oh my God, they are already too poor to survive, and they really want to take away the house they live in..."

"Uuuuuuuah, the poorer they are, the harder it will be for them..."

Several carriages dragging wooden barrels drove slowly, leaving deep indentations in the snow.

The aroma of roasted meat spread as the lid of the wooden barrel was opened. People's cries subsided when they smelled the aroma of meat.

"Neighbors, people are better than anything else, eat meat first!" Liu Zhou said loudly.

Perhaps the long-term poverty has made those people accustomed to seeing sad things and tempered their toughness. After a brief moment of losing control of their emotions, they quickly accepted the facts and lined up skillfully to wait for their meat to be divided.

"Thank you, Miss Kou."

"Thank you, Miss Kou!"

Everyone who received the roast pork thanked Xinyou sincerely.

Gu Yu stood in the crowd, looking at the girl who was attracting everyone's attention, and resisted the urge to ask her.

He was studying in the Imperial College, and she opened a bookstore near the Imperial College. After that, she had many opportunities to ask.

Wrong, Imperial College!

Gu Yu's face changed, and Gu Yuniang said, "Mother, please go back to the Imperial College to take a leave of absence."

The Imperial College has regulations that points will be deducted for unexcused absences, and students will be expelled if they reach a certain number of times.

"go quickly."

Gu Yu was worried and warned her mother again: "Mom, he will come back immediately after taking leave. Don't rush home to look for things. Wait until he comes back."

"Mom knows, I'll go quickly."

Gu Yu ran away, from his ruined home to row upon row of shops. The more he ran to a prosperous place, the more he looked the same as usual.

If there is any difference, more and more people are walking on the streets, talking about the shaking of the ground just now.

In the Imperial College, teachers and students were also discussing this matter.

"Gu Yu, I'll be late coming back tomorrow." A supervisor was surprised to see Gu Yu running towards him in a hurry.

In the eyes of the supervisors, is Gu Yu a good student who is never late?

"Excuse me, where is Mr. Wen?"

Someone who saw Wen Jiancheng gave Gu Yu directions.

Gu Yu ran over and found that besides Wen Jiancheng, there were also Meng Jijiu and others.

Meng Jijiu was explaining to Wen Jiancheng and others: "Let's appease the good student and let him go and inquire about it."

Although the earthquake just now was so slight that it seemed like an illusion, Meng Jijiu's expression was solemn.

Although he has never experienced it, the books he has read let him know that when they feel a slight shaking, there must be a landslide and a hell on earth.

Gu Yu saluted Meng Jijiu and the others, and walked up to Wen Jiancheng: "Sir, student Gu Yu would like to take a leave of absence."

"Why are you asking for leave?" Inspector Wen asked warmly.

The Imperial College has a relatively strict policy on personal leave, and most students who ask for personal leave will encounter something bad.

Gu Yu lowered his head and said, "The ground will shake tomorrow morning, and all the houses in the student's area will collapse under the weight of the snow."

After hearing those words, Meng Jijiu turned around suddenly and strode up to Gu Yu.

"Where do I live?"

"The student lives in the Beiloufang area."

"Did I come from home? Then... what are the casualties?" Meng Jijiu asked those words, and his heart felt like a stone was weighing on him.

Gu Yu hesitated and said: "Keke has no casualties."

"What the hell!" Several gentlemen present couldn't help but shake their heads.

Meng Jijiu looked strange: "There are no casualties?"

"The students are not sure either." Gu Yu hesitated for a moment before telling what Xin You had done, "When the house collapsed, the neighbors were all waiting for the meat to be roasted, and no one went back... But there were also people who didn't go out.

, students don’t know clearly.”

Meng Jijiu's face looked much better.

If what the student said is true, even if there are people who did not go out, it is still a very small number. Compared with a large number of casualties, it is already very good.

"Is that Miss Kou from Qingsong Bookstore?"

"True or not."

Meng Jijiu approved the leave for Gu Yu on behalf of Wen Jiancheng, and followed Gu Yu in the carriage to Beiloufang.

When he saw the ruins, Meng Jijiu was shocked.

The house collapsed like that. If people had been at home at that time, I can't imagine how many people would have died.

"Where's Miss Kou?" Meng Jijiu asked as he recognized Liu Zhou, the boy from Qingsong Bookstore.

"My boss is going back first and asked them to stay here and see if they need any help."

Meng Jijiu nodded and silently looked at the collapsed houses.

After waiting for a period of time without any further ground shaking, the neighbors had returned to their homes and began to rummage through the rubble for usable items, almost all with their bare legs.

Meng Jijiu didn't stay too long and went into the palace.

At this time, many ministers entered the palace. While waiting for the emperor's summons, they gathered together and discussed Mingyue's unusual movements.

Emperor Xingyuan's expression was extremely serious when he saw his ministers, and he immediately arranged for various government offices to go to understand the situation in the capital.

At that time, the students in the Imperial College were not aware of the significance of the small shaking in the early morning. As the news of Gu Yu's request for leave spread, their attention was focused on that.

"Have you heard that the houses in the area where Gu Yu's house collapsed? Fortunately, Miss Kou was there giving porridge, so many people escaped the disaster."

"Why did Miss Kou go to Gu Yu's house to give porridge?"

"Then who knows..."

"Brother Duan, am I not Miss Kou's cousin? Do you know why Miss Kou is giving porridge there?"

Duan Yunlang, who was surrounded by people, looked confused: "What are you giving porridge to? He doesn't know."

In a room, Zhang Xu slapped his thigh fiercely: "He knows!"

Several boys quickly asked: "Why?"

Zhang Xu's voice trembled with excitement: "Have we forgotten what Miss Kou said?"

"She said that Gu Yuqiu suffered a bloody disaster——"

"That's wrong! Let's think about it. Gu Yuqiu was at home because Miss Kou was giving porridge. If the house fell down, it would definitely be pushed to the east!"

"Hiss, wouldn't that be life-threatening?"

"Then, if Miss Kou goes there to give porridge, will she be able to save Gu Yu?"
