MTL - Ci Jinzhi-Chapter 178 collapse
There were too many people, Xin You looked around, not sure if Gu Yu was among them.
Judging from the time, Gu Yu should have had an accident when he left home and returned to the Imperial College, and there is still some time before now.
But whether this time is a quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour, or longer, no one knows.
If Gu Yu goes out at the same time every time, then he should be able to judge, which is why Xin You subconsciously looked for Gu Yu's figure just now.
She quickly gave up her plan to call Gu Yu forward in full view to inquire.
There are too many accidents in this world, and a person's fixed behavior will suddenly change. At this point, he is still reliable.
Xin You tilted her head and nodded slightly to Liu Zhou.
Liu Zhou shouted: "The neighbors line up and start eating porridge."
The first person in line took the bowl of porridge, and looked straight into the other vats: "Uh... no roast meat today?"
Liu Zhou's voice was louder: "Isn't it because we bought a lot of chicken and meat for several days in a row, and the vegetable market couldn't supply it? Our girl specially ordered it from Zhuangzi, but it was delivered late, and the meat had just been processed when we went out. Okay, it will be delivered in a while, everyone, wait a little longer."
"Then you have to line up again?" The person who was first in line was a little reluctant.
Of course, this is not dissatisfaction with such good people as Miss Kou, but resentment for waiting in the snow.
Liu Zhou smiled and comforted: "Today is the last day to give porridge and meat, and we guarantee that everyone who comes to line up can get it."
When the man heard this, he was indeed comforted.
Since the meat is sure to be distributed, let's wait a little longer.
Fortunately, because it has been snowing for the past two days, everyone has experience. Those in better condition carry a covered wooden bucket, and those in poorer condition carry a bamboo basket, just to prevent snow from falling into the porridge bowl. Wait like this, nothing but cold.
Xin You watched silently. No one left after getting the porridge. They all chose to queue up again and wait for the braised pork.
She quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Giving porridge and meat for three consecutive days has built up the trust of these people in her. They believed that they could get the roast meat, and they had tasted the aroma of the meat, so they were naturally willing to spend some time waiting.
During the snowy winter, for the vast majority of ordinary people, time is the least valuable.
"Good morning, Miss Kou." It was Gu Yuniang's turn, and she warmly greeted Xin You.
She really didn't expect that she would get such a big benefit just by helping this girl find a cat that day.
"Morning, Auntie." Xin You rolled her eyes and landed on Gu Yu, showing surprise, "Master Gu and Auntie are the same family?"
"Miss Kou and Yu'er know each other?" Gu Yuniang was surprised.
Xin You smiled: "I run a bookstore near the Imperial College, and have met Young Master Gu a few times."
"Yu'er is my son." Gu Yuniang saw that Xin You was more affectionate, and punched her son with her elbow.
This kid, why doesn't he know how to say hello!
Gu Yu greeted politely: "Miss Kou."
"My cousin is studying in the Imperial College. I remember that the Imperial College's ten-day holiday was yesterday. Is Mr. Gu going back to the Imperial College?" Xin You asked naturally.
"Yes." Gu Yu didn't want to say more because she couldn't figure out Xin You's intention.
Gu Yuniang is talkative: "It's about this time that I usually go out. Thanks to Ms. Kou, I can have a mouthful of hot porridge..."
at this time-
Xin You said these words silently in her heart, and raised her eyes to look at the sky.
The heavy snow only stopped last night, and it started to fall again at some point, profusely and boundlessly.
Even though there are so many people gathered here, she can still feel the cold of the wind and snow.
Xin You felt a slight shaking feeling immediately, and her heart tightened.
Gu Yuniang shook her hand holding the bowl, some of the porridge spilled out, thinking she couldn't hold it steady, her heart ached.
Most people didn't react, either thought it was an illusion, or thought they were dizzy.
"No!" Gu Yu's face changed drastically, "It's an earthquake!"
As soon as these words came out, the crowd was in an uproar.
The ground shook slightly again, and everyone noticed it now.
"The earthquake, the earthquake is coming!" Someone shouted in panic, trying to run.
Some experienced people shouted: "Get down, get down!"
More people were not frightened by the slight shaking, and were even suspicious.
Suddenly there was a loud noise.
"Look!"
"Collapsed, the house collapsed!"
Some people who lost their minds subconsciously ran home, and were grabbed by the people next to them: "Don't die!"
Panic is spreading, but people seem to be immobilized, looking in the direction of their homes motionless.
In that area, houses one after another collapsed in an instant, and the snow splashed, and together with the falling snow, the broken walls and ruins were covered.
I don't know how long it took, someone knelt down and cried bitterly: "It's all collapsed, it's all collapsed!"
Crying everywhere, heartache lost shelter.
A young man hugged his wife, fearful but thankful: "Damn it, it's a good thing you and the child came out to get the porridge, otherwise—"
The young woman embraced by the man held the child in her arms, tears streaming down her face: "Well, it's a good thing it came out, it's a good thing—"
Her voice stopped suddenly, and she looked at Xin You.
If Miss Kou hadn’t come to present the porridge and asked to share the meat by the head, she would definitely not have taken the child out on a snowy day, so she and the child—
Looking down at the ignorant toddler, the young woman knelt down in Xin You's direction: "Miss Kou, thank you for saving the lives of my family and my child..."
The words of the young woman brought people back to life.
Yes, if Miss Kou was not here to serve porridge, and it was snowing in such a cold day, and they were still lying under the covers, wouldn’t they all be crushed to death?
More and more people knelt down.
"Benefactor!"
"Thank you, Miss Kou!"
Gu Yuniang also knelt down, but found that her son was still standing upright.
She tugged hard, pulling Gu Yu to kneel down.
Gu Yu was in a daze, even if she was pulled to kneel down, she still straightened her upper body and looked at Xin You without blinking.
Because it was their mother and son's turn to make porridge, the girl was right in front of his eyes.
She was wearing a fox fur coat, with snow fox fur around the hood and collar, revealing only her palm-sized face.
That face was snow-white from the cold, and the eyes were as dark as black jade, black and pure.
That day the girl’s words rang in his ears: Mr. Guan Gu will suffer a **** disaster, and it will happen when he returns home—
What did he do then?
He thought she was making fun of a poor student like him, and regarded her as the kind of naughty girl who liked to tease people, so he turned and left.
Just now, he was still thinking about the purpose of Miss Kou coming to give porridge and meat.
And now, he finally understands!
But a bigger doubt arises: How did Ms. Kou know that the houses here will collapse? Is it really visible?
Gu Yu's mind was in such a mess that she felt dizzy and was about to get up.
Gu Yuniang had quick hands and quick eyes, and grabbed her son tightly.
What does this kid want to do when the neighbors in the neighborhood are kneeling!
Some book friends feel that cheating is too frequent, please tell the babies. Just like the writing style of gourmet writing with the high skill of the female chef, and the writing style of medical female writing with the heroine's medical skills, the heroine can see ghosts, understand the words of animals, and perceive the emotions of plants, etc. Goldfinger unfolds the plot, and so does Xiaoyuzi's different pupils. There will still be a lot of plots in the follow-up due to different pupils. If you don't like this kind of thing, let me disclose it here in advance. I personally like this setting quite a lot, and I am more enthusiastic when writing (less is purely because there are too many things in reality and physical reasons). Sorry for the book lovers who don't like it, you can read other books that suit your taste or my old books. But you can also look at Xiaoyouzi again, maybe you will like it again after watching it.
