The three seriously injured candidates all traveled long distances to come to Kyoto, and they didn't have much money to carry with them, so they had to squeeze into a small and crowded inn.
There were two people in the same inn, and Gu Yu went to them first.
As soon as Gu Yu arrived, the innkeeper knew that Gu Yu's demeanor was not ordinary, so he hurriedly greeted him.
Some candidates in the lobby recognized this as Mr. Gu and went over to salute him one after another.
Gu Yu didn't pay much attention and just said to the shopkeeper: "There were two burnt candidates yesterday, but are they here with you?"
The shopkeeper said: "Yes, yes, they are from the same hometown, and they live in the same house because they can't afford the rent."
The shopkeeper hurriedly led Gu Yu upstairs, followed by a group of candidates cheering behind him.
Before entering the door, Gu Yu heard two candidates inside moaning in pain.
When I opened the door, I saw that the two candidates were both ashen-faced. The medicine on their bodies was the same as the one they had been given in Gongyuan yesterday, and some wounds had already suppurated.
The moment they saw Gu Yu, a glimmer of hope ignited in the two desperate eyes.
They wanted to stand up and salute Gu Yu, but Gu Yu stopped them.
Gu Yudao: "You can rest in peace and recuperate. I have asked the Holy Spirit for grace for you. No matter how you answered the questions before, your name will be on this year's spring list."
The candidates following Gu Yu had different expressions.
The two seriously injured candidates were so excited that they forgot to react for a moment.
It was the innkeeper who clapped his hands and called loudly: "Greetings to Mr. Jinshi!"
A group of students who followed also said: "Congratulations."
The two people just woke up from a dream.
When they were in Gongyuan, Mr. Gu asked them to wait for news, but they thought it was just a polite word.
Now Mr. Gu personally came to tell them that they would definitely be on the list, how could they not be excited.
Regardless of their injuries, the two men insisted on getting up and saluting Gu Yu.
One of them shed tears and said, "Young Master Gu is so kind and kind, but I can't repay you even if I tie a grass ring around my head."
Gu Yudao: "If it weren't for the burns, you would definitely be on the list."
Can I just say it again? After all, every exam in the imperial examination is a battle without smoke.
Gu Yu said this to stop the mouths of some of the candidates who were taking the exam, so that they would not burn out like this and be envied by others.
Those two people naturally knew Gu Yu's good intentions and felt even more grateful.
Gu Yu looked at the burns on their bodies, gave some money to the shopkeeper, and said, "Go hire a doctor and treat them well."
In the Gongyuan, there were doctors treating them, but after they came out, no one took care of them anymore.
The shopkeeper said hurriedly: "Yes, yes! I will go and find a doctor for the two Jinshi masters."
Gu Yu turned around and said to the two of them: "You guys take good care of your injuries. I'll leave first."
After saying that, Gu Yu went out.
And the fact that she obtained Jinshi status for two injured poor candidates also became publicized.
Combined with last year's symposium, the reform of the imperial examination, and this year's Chunwei specifically for poor families, students from poor families seemed to see hope.
Everyone knows that Gu Yu is different from those noble families and is a person who truly cares about them.
Gu Yu also achieved a high reputation among poor families.
Gu Yu rushed all the way to the inn where the last seriously injured person was. This person's name was Lin Kang. He was very poor and the inn he stayed in was Datongpu.
Gu Yu briefly explained the matter. The shopkeeper knelt down to Gu Yu in a cold sweat and said, "Damn it, little one. The guest was burned too badly. He kept convulsing in the middle of the night last night. I had to move him out."
A businessman on the side who was about to check out couldn't stand it any longer. He directly exposed the false face of the shopkeeper and said: "You fart! It's obvious that you think Lin Kang can't be saved and don't want him to die in the inn and let the waiter kill him."
He was thrown out and you still said he was unlucky."
Gu Yu's face darkened and he said, "Where is the Lin Kang people now?"
The shopkeeper was trembling with fear. Who would have thought that a man who was about to die could suddenly become a Jinshi.
The shopkeeper said tremblingly: "After we moved Mr. Lin out last night, the little one fell asleep. This morning, he disappeared."
Gu Yu frowned and said to Pingsha: "Take people to look for him. If you want to see the person alive, you want to see the body if he is dead."
It was also her negligence yesterday that she did not arrange the three students properly.
Pingsha agreed and hurried out.
When the students in the inn heard about this incident, they started talking about it. The one who regretted it the most was the innkeeper. Why did he throw Master Jinshi out in a short-sighted moment?
Although this Jinshi is in name only, he is not something that ordinary people like him can offend.
After a while, Pingsha rushed back and said: "Lin Jinshi was rescued by a few beggars and is now in a ruined temple on the street of Dongyi."
Gu Yu got on the carriage and came to the ruined temple Pingsha said.
Pingsha said: "All the beggars in this area gather here."
Gu Yu walked in. This dilapidated temple was indeed very dilapidated. Probably because of the daytime, there were not many people. Gu Yu saw Lin Kang lying on the ground at a glance.
He was motionless and covered in blood.
Gu Yu was startled. Ignoring the curious looks of some beggars in the ruined temple, he walked over and squatted down, calling: "Lin Kang! Lin Kang! Are you still alive?"
Lin Kang remained motionless.
When Gu Yu got closer, he realized that the blood on Lin Kang's body was all on the surface and was not flowing from his body.
Just when he was wondering, an old beggar with unkempt hair and lameness came in, holding a rooster in his hand.
The old beggar didn't care when he saw Gu Yu. He took the knife at his waist and wiped the chicken's neck, and the chicken's blood dripped down instantly.
The old beggar quickly poured the chicken blood on Lin Kang's burnt area.
Gu Yu didn't think the old beggar was dirty either, so he quickly pushed his hand and said, "What are you doing?"
The old beggar raised his eyelids and said, "What are you doing? I'm saving people, can't you tell?"
Gu Yu said in a deep voice: "Nonsense! Where can anyone use chicken blood to save people?"
With that said, Gu Yu said to Pingsha: "Move Lin Kang into the carriage."
Pingsha was about to carry Lin Kang with other guards, but was blocked by the old beggar.
Instead, the old beggar showed a strange smile and said: "He has become like this. If he is moved around by you again and gets frightened on the way, he will never survive again."
Gu Yu frowned and said, "Pingsha, get on your horse and bring back a doctor."
The rooster in the old beggar's hand fluttered painfully, and blood came out like spring water.
The old beggar said: "By the time you call the doctor, he will be dead already."
Pingsha ignored the old beggar's words and walked out.
At this time, a beggar on the side was picking at his feet and said: "This man was dead when he came here in the morning, but he was saved by this doctor from the Beggar Clan."
Gu Yu could see that Lin Kang was wandering around the gate of hell now, so he pushed the old beggar's hand and loosened his grip.
The old beggar took the opportunity to use his strength and drenched Lin Kang with the blood of his cock.
Gu Yu frowned more and more when she saw that Lin Kang was covered in rooster blood.
The old beggar said quietly: "You rich people have a rich man's rule of law, and we poor people have a poor man's rule of law. No matter what kind of rule, people just need to survive."
Gu Yu looked at the old beggar and said, "I have never heard that chicken blood can save people."
The old beggar smiled contemptuously and said: "Human blood can save people, why can't rooster blood save people?"
