The heavy rain was still falling, and the carriage was struggling on the muddy official road. {Look at it]
When he went to disaster relief in his previous life, he had already received a secret report that the plague had begun to spread, but under the urging and coercion of Yunyi and Concubine De, he still stepped into the epidemic area. This life. The carriage was still bouncing on the way to the epidemic area, but his mood was completely different from his previous life.
The wound on his lower back has just healed, Yun Yi clearly knew that he was seriously injured, but still insisted on letting him go to rescue the disaster. This life is the same as the previous life, he never treated himself as a younger brother, the small favors he gave were just for him to ask for more from himself, and made him more determined to help him.
In Yunyi's eyes, maybe he is more like a dog he raises. What affection. In that palace, it was just something used to confuse people's hearts.
If he still can't see through this life, then these two lives will really be in vain.
This is the case between brothers, father and son. Why not between husband and wife
After he ascended the throne in the previous life. Even if the beauties in the harem don't have three thousand, they still have three hundred, but who can say that they are sincere to him? In front of his eyes, no one is all dressed up in beautiful clothes, and they are obedient in front of him. How about carrying it back
Did these women really not know the fight they had to give birth to his offspring
They all wanted to win his favor, and they all wanted to be the mother of the future emperor, but he didn't. He watched them use various means to kill his unborn offspring. Until his death, he was accompanied by only one prince.
In his heart, he only had that one son, and he protected and educated that child very well.
How can people who have experienced brotherhood and fighting each other want their son to fall into such a situation.
These women are so stupid.
The carriage jolted violently, and the shocked Yun Ke frowned slightly, his face was still pale, with a trace of sickness.
"Go back to Your Highness, the carriage is stuck in the mud." The guard's voice came from outside the car, Yun Ke raised his hand and gently lifted the curtain of the car, the heavy rain hung down from the sky like a curtain, and the guards who came to answer the conversation were wearing The coir raincoat kept dripping downwards.
"It's Du Xia." Even though his coir raincoat half covered his face, only revealing a smooth and elegant chin, Yun Ke could still tell who he was at a glance. Yun Ke said slowly, "Then I get off the car, take your time."
"Yes, my lord." Du Xia opened his umbrella to cover Yun Ke's body, raised a hand to support Yun Ke, Yun Ke jumped out of the carriage, looked back at the carriage, and sure enough a wheel of the carriage Falling into a mud pit on the road, no wonder there was a violent vibration just now.
Yun Ke stood by the side of the road, waiting leisurely for several guards to come and lift the carriage out of the mud pit. He set his eyes on Du Xia with great interest.
In the last life, Du Xia followed him to Jiangxia when he first left the training camp. When he was dying of illness, Du Xia always took care of him, not afraid of life and death. So when Yun Ke recovered from his illness, he began to deliberately cultivate Du Xia.
Du Xia is also a fighting spirit, Wen Cheng martial arts, quickly stand out among the hidden guards, and become his most powerful support.
Since the last time he was bought from the Renya Market and thrown to the elders of the Dark Guard Camp for training, this is the first time Yun Ke has seen Du Xia outside. It seems that he has learned in this life just like the previous one. That's why they were released to perform tasks.
Not all the dark guards in the dark guard camp hide in the dark all the time, and they also wear the clothes of the guards to follow the master to do things, but they are very good at restraining their voices, they look more ordinary than ordinary guards, and they will not attract attention .
Du Xia didn't know why his master would suddenly stare at him, but he still straightened his back and stood in the rain like a sharp knife.
Gu Yuqi dared to compete with herself for Du Xia!
The corner of Yun Ke's lips twitched slightly, that dead woman didn't know what her heart was, if Du Xia followed her, would she still be Marquis of Weiyuan in the future? Childish, ridiculous!
Thinking of this, Yun Ke couldn't help snorting coldly in his heart. He found out Gu Yuqi's whereabouts on the fourth day after she left the capital. She didn't go back to Jiangnan, but went all the way north. What does this woman want to do? Go to Rouran? Absurd! He had already sent someone to follow her, and Gu Yuqi was being cautious. If he hadn't sent out all the tracking elites, it would have been difficult to find her trace.
In the previous life, Gu Yuqi kept saying that she loved her, but what was she doing when she was suffering from an epidemic and fell into Jiangxia City? It was Zhang Wanyi who found the prescription day and night and saved her life. Later, she shamelessly said that she read the prescription, since she saw it, why didn't she take it out earlier? If she really saw it, with her personality, why wouldn't she offer it up to take credit? Maybe once I am moved, I will really pay attention to her. I didn't work hard before, but I want to tell the truth afterwards, and transfer other people's credit to myself. She has no shame, but she is really shameless enough to dare to do so.
That's right, with her temperament, she even dared to defy the imperial decree, so that's nothing.
In this life, she got worse and worse. Yun Ke felt that Gu Huaizhong's expulsion of such an unfilial daughter from the house was an understatement. If it were him, he would have strangled her to death with his own hands, and he was also suspected of murdering his mother.
I really don't understand why I still cared about her for decades after her death in my last life!
She thought that she would become a lady in this life and follow the rules, but she didn't expect that she would cause such a big incident in just a few years.
Now the Dingyuanhou Mansion has become a joke in the eyes of the nobles in the capital. Everyone looked at Gu Huaizhong with gloating eyes.
How unfortunate is the family that there is such an unfilial daughter.
"My lord, you can get in the carriage." Seeing that the other guards had lifted the carriage out of the mud pit, Du Xia said to Du Xia with downcast eyes.
"Okay." Yun Ke supported Du Xia's hand, and walked slowly towards the carriage. "Du Xia, do you still remember what happened when you were a child?" He asked seemingly unintentionally.
Du Xia was slightly taken aback, but still replied respectfully, "I don't really remember the humble job."
A delicate and charming figure appeared in his heart, and his heart felt a little hot, but he still restrained his mind, and focused on helping Yun Ke get into the car.
"Really?" Yun Ke looked at Du Xia with a half-smile after getting into the carriage, those cold eyes seemed to look into his heart.
"My lord is asking me about my childhood. I really don't remember much about my childhood." Du Xia said with eyebrows raised, "It's just that I can't remember being resold by others, and I can't stop resisting. In the end, it was my lord who saved me. I got a place in Humble. Humble only remembers so much."
What he said was neither humble nor overbearing, Yun Ke nodded secretly, as expected of the future Marquis of Weiyuan, these few words were impeccable, but he also knew that Du Xia was hiding something.
The car curtain was slowly lowered by Du Xia, blocking Yun Ke's sight.
What he was hiding was the memory about Gu Yuqi. Yun Ke took a deep breath, and his eyes darkened. Yun Ke didn't believe that Du Xia didn't remember Gu Yuqi back then. He asked himself that if he and Du Xia's identities were switched, he would never forget the girl who once gave him a glimmer of hope, let alone Gu Yuqi. What kind of heart does she have, but in such a situation, what she left for Du Xia must be an indelible memory.
Yun Ke suddenly remembered one thing. In the last life, when Gu Yuqi married into the palace, he asked Du Xia to go to the church for him that night in order to break Gu Yuqi's arrogance.
Yun Ke raised his brows slightly, revealing a somewhat intriguing gaze.
When she was in Renyazi Market, it was impossible for Gu Yuqi not to recognize Du Xia, so she deliberately robbed Du Xia from herself. why? She knew that Du Xia would become Marquis of Weiyuan in Daqi in the future, and that Du Xia would only marry one woman as his wife and love her very much. So, she wanted Li Daitao to be stiff? She wants to strike first
An inexplicable anger rose from the bottom of Yun Ke's heart, and his expression became more and more serious, so it makes sense! Why did Gu Yuqi avoid him all the time, just to stay away from him, so as not to repeat the mistakes of her previous life.
Not only did she want to attack Du Xia, she also wanted to change her fate against the sky and leave the capital before becoming his concubine and flee to the north.
Gu Yuqi, that's great! After the anger subsided, Yun Ke's brows slowly relaxed. He wanted to see if she could escape from his palm!
In order to avoid herself, even the Hou Mansion had the guts to set fire to it, what a ruthless and cunning woman!
Gu Yuqi vigorously led Runying to inspect the farm that she had built by herself. After a few days of arrangement and arrangement, with more people and more strength, this gorgeous house has undergone earth-shaking changes.
The courtyard wall has been heightened and reinforced by Zhang Lan and the others with their own barbed wire. There are many bells hanging on the barbed wire to act as alarms. Zhao Wu will recruit Zhang Lan and the others into the team of guards, arrange shifts, and conduct regular inspections of the house. Intermittent patrols.
The 20 or so villagers living in the front yard are also living in an orderly manner under Zhang Lan's leadership. The land in the garden has been turned up and ridge by ridge, and rapeseed has been sprinkled. The rain is too heavy, and those villagers are afraid There were no vegetables to grow, so a simple shed was built with oilcloth, very similar to a modern vegetable greenhouse, but much simpler than modern things. They also spontaneously tidied up all the drainage in the house. Now there will be no water in the yard, and it will flow down the culvert at the foot of the wall immediately.
The lotus leaves in the fish pond had already exposed their sharp corners. Gu Yuqi didn't ask them to pull out the lotus flowers. After all, lotus root is also a kind of vegetable. Gu Yuqi asked them to catch all the koi inside and sell them in the city. There are still people in Jiangxia City who are arty, and it won't be long. When the food is tight, they won't spend money to buy them. These boring things. The lotus pond is now full of edible freshwater fish.
Gu Yuqi also thought about whether it would be bad for her to do so, but she quickly got rid of this thought. She didn't do harm to nature, and she didn't force others to buy it. It wasn't her fault that those people didn't have a long-term vision. Besides, she never felt that she was a kind-hearted Madonna who wanted to let the halo of the Madonna cover the whole Daqi.
Everyone has their own destiny, and in her last life, her thoughts were all on Yun Ke, so she couldn't care about the lives of others. And in this life, she only wants peace and stability, as well as her mother's happiness and auspiciousness. As for the life and death of other people, she is not in her control.
No one stipulates that people who travel through time must save all sentient beings. When it is difficult to protect themselves, it is more practical to protect themselves first.
It was as if she knew that such heavy rain would cause the dikes to burst downstream and tens of thousands of people would die, and she just let it happen. First of all, she is not a saint, even if she yells all over the world that there will be a flood, who will listen to her? Secondly, her ability is limited, she can only protect a small group of people around her, so she is already very satisfied.
After inspecting the yard, Gu Yuqi was very satisfied. The warehouse in the backyard was already full of food and other daily necessities.
Now what Gu Yuqi wants to solve is the problem of clean water.
The question troubled her to the core.
As a former time traveler, although Gu Yuqi was a rich girl who did not worry about food and clothing in modern times, her daily activities were traveling, eating and posting photos, but she was also a well-educated person after all. She knew the reason why the plague was rampant in ancient times , One is because of the poor medical conditions in ancient times, and the other is because of the poor sanitary conditions in ancient times.
After every catastrophe, the outbreak of the plague is accompanied by the problem of water quality in the final analysis.
Gu Yuqi has already improved the toilet in the yard, but the problem of drinking water is a headache for her.
There are four large wells in the house, so I don't worry about running out of water. What Gu Yuqi worries about is whether the water is clean.
After the plague broke out, there must be problems with the water in the affected area. Although the well water is groundwater, who knows if it will be polluted? There is no special instrument to detect. Although she has a prescription to deal with the plague in her hand, it doesn't mean that everyone will not get other diseases. So having clean drinking water is the biggest problem she has to solve now.
Gu Yuqi wanted to make a water purification device to filter it to some extent. After she finished her inspection, she took Daimei into the kitchen.
"Will it be burning charcoal?" Gu Yuqi asked her head and face, her eyebrows were confused.
"What do you want charcoal for?" Dai Mei asked.
"Of course it's useful." Gu Yuqi said with a smile.
"There is charcoal, is charcoal okay?" Dai Mei dug out some black charcoal from the bottom of the cabinet, and said to Gu Yuqi.
"Yes, yes." Gu Yuqi's eyes lit up, and she took the charcoal. She asked Daimei to help, smashed the charcoal and poured it on a clean cotton cloth, put it all in the steamer, and added water to steam it.
Daimei obeyed Gu Yuqi's order and steamed the charcoal in a steamer, but she didn't understand why Gu Yuqi did this.
"Miss, do we want to eat charcoal?" She asked with a smile.
Gu Yuqi laughed, "Do you think charcoal is edible?" She asked back.
"Of course not!" Dai Mei shook her head. "I've heard of people who eat dirt, but I haven't heard of people who eat charcoal." After she finished speaking, her expression darkened. The family really couldn’t support me, so they sold me. Fortunately, the young lady bought me.”
Seeing Daimei's lonely expression, Gu Yuqi felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She walked over and gently hugged Daimei's shoulders, and said softly, "Okay, don't think about the past. The important thing is We have a good life now, don't we?"
"En." Dai Mei gently wiped the tears in her eyes, and took a deep breath, "Yes, so the servant has to follow the lady for the rest of her life." With firmness and warmth.
"Cut, don't brag, if you meet a young man who makes you fall in love in the future, I'm afraid you will forget me in a blink of an eye." Gu Yuqi deliberately joked, she raised her hand to Daimei's armpit, and scratched her Itching, the evil eyebrows jumped away from Gu Yuqi's side at once, her face was as red as a cooked shrimp, "Miss!" She said angrily, but she couldn't help laughing.
Just laughing, Gu Yuqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the life and death of outsiders has nothing to do with her, but the people around her must live happily.
"By the way, Miss, how long does it take to steam this charcoal?" Dai Mei asked, the two of them were chatting and squabbling together, the time passed quickly, and after a while, a thick layer of steam rose from the steamer.
Gu Yuqi was stopped by this question, she scratched her head and said, she had accidentally seen the manufacture of activated carbon in modern times, she just said to use high-temperature steam to steam, but did not mention how long to steam. Her memory is super powerful, but she was very lazy at that time, and she just glanced at everything, but now she is stumped.
"Steam it!" No matter what, Gu Yuqi said, "Steam until the charcoal looks different!"
"What can charcoal turn into?" Dai Mei asked puzzled.
"It's just... it looks more delicate than charcoal, and it looks brighter." Gu Yuqi scratched her head and said. There was a whimper in my heart, why do other time-traveling girls do all kinds of things! The chaos is so prosperous, why is it so difficult when it's her turn! It's true, when the books are ready to be used, she hates less. If she had known that she would time travel, she should have memorized a large set of encyclopedias. The half-bucket of water really shook uncomfortably.
Gu Yuqi's steaming of charcoal was seen by the village women who came to the kitchen to cook, and spread the word. After eating, everyone went to the kitchen to take a look at the charcoal this young lady steamed. Gu Yuqi knew that she couldn't make high-quality activated carbon like modern ones with her simple method, but it didn't matter, as long as it had the filtering function.
The charcoal was continuously activated by the steam, and gradually changed its appearance. Although the pressure of the steamer could not meet the production requirements, Gu Yuqi steamed it for a long enough time, and the surface layer of the charcoal particles had become very lubricated and shiny.
Probably almost, Gu Yuqi took out the charcoal debris, rinsed it with clean water, and washed away the layer of floating ash on the surface, and the carbon particles became more moist and clean.
Gu Yuqi used the bamboo tube that Zhang Lan had prepared to block one end of the cotton gauze that had been sterilized by high temperature, then wrapped the charcoal in gauze and poured it in, and put a layer of gauze on the other side, repeated several layers, and it was done. , you're done! Gu Yuqi made several such simple water filters in one go. While she was doing it, the others were watching quietly.
After Gu Yuqi was done, Dai Mei couldn't help asking, "Miss, what is this for?"
"Let's do an experiment." Gu Yuqi said with a smile, she asked Runying to bring over two big men, both of which were filled with water, some ink was poured into the first bowl, and some ink was poured into the second bowl. The mud and sand were mixed, and then she took a simple water filter and poured the bowl of mud and sand into it first. After a while, water slowly flowed out from the other end of the bamboo tube.
"It's clear water!" Dai Mei said in surprise and joy.
"Yes." Gu Yuqi was very satisfied with the results of the first experiment, which proved that her water purifier can filter out some impurities without any problem.
Not only Daimei was surprised, but the other people onlookers felt that it was amazing that the water just flowed through the bamboo tube, and the water became clear! Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and then looked at Gu Yuqi with a bit of admiration in their eyes.
Those maids and guards who followed Gu Yuqi before saw the expressions of admiration shown by the villagers who joined later, and they were very proud and proud in their hearts.
The second bowl of water was filled with ink. Gu Yuqi was really a little uneasy when pouring it. She added another bamboo tube under this bamboo tube. After a while, the water that had been filtered twice slowly flowed from the second bamboo tube. The lower end flowed out, and the people present burst into a burst of amazement, this inconspicuous thing can turn ink into clear water.
Some villagers already wanted to bow down to Gu Yuqi, isn't this the legendary immortal? Chi Lai has talent.
Gu Yuqi was really relieved when she saw that the water with ink turned into clear water, her water filter was really successful.
She handed over the rest of the water purifier to Zhang Lan for safekeeping, and told him that from now on, after the well water is pumped out of the well, it must be placed in the water storage tank and then drained from the water tank with a bamboo tube. The pumped water can only be used for cooking and tea after being filtered by such a water purifier. They cannot drink raw water directly. Gu Yuqi observed them, and the men from these villages like to drink water directly from the water tank. This bad habit must be changed.
When they heard that Gu Yuqi forbade them to drink raw water, the faces of the men showed a bit of displeasure.
"You people in the city are poor and fastidious, why can't you drink the clean water!" One of them couldn't help but yelled out. "Drinking hot tea is too troublesome! You have to wait for it to cool, which is better than drinking it directly." After he finished speaking, several people around him nodded in agreement.
Gu Yuqi's complexion darkened. Naturally, she would not say anything about bacteria and microorganisms to these people. Here, these people must obey her words unconditionally.
"Why? Do you have an opinion?" She said in a deep voice, scanning the crowd with her eyes, "Don't forget, in my house, you have to listen to my words. If you don't want to, you can leave!" Gu Yuqi's tone was serious , Those men who were talking about shrank their heads, but they didn't dare to speak.
"I know you may be dissatisfied in your heart." Gu Yuqi sneered and continued, "But there is nothing to dissatisfy, either you are better than me, or you can listen to me!"
As soon as she said this, the faces of those men turned serious, and they all stood up straight, and then saluted respectfully, "Yes." They all lowered their heads in unison.
Seeing that they were convinced, Gu Yuqi smiled slowly, "Don't let me see you drinking unboiled water again, once I see you, be careful of your skin!"
"Don't dare." Seeing Gu Yuqi smile, those men relaxed their dark colors. If they still had some contempt for Gu Yuqi, a little girl at the beginning, after getting along with each other for the past few days, they have all agreed with her. Gu Yuqi was convinced. So when Gu Yuqi said that she was better than her, these people all respected her.
They have already seen Gu Yuqi's martial arts, and they have lived with unprecedented peace of mind under her arrangement and protection these few days, so how could they not accept Gu Yuqi.
Days passed day by day, and that night, Zhang Lan came back from shopping outside, ran to the study in a panic and knocked on Gu Yuqi's door.
"Miss, it's not good. As you expected, the embankment broke down!" He wiped the rain off his face, and looked at Gu Yuqi in horror, "I heard that many people died, and a large number of refugees flooded in. The governor of Jiangxia City has ordered the city gates to be closed!"
Gu Yuqi was slightly taken aback, and sighed deeply, "The one who should come has come." The refugees have already poured into Jiangxia City, which means that the embankment has burst a few days ago.
She murmured, raised her eyes and glanced at the dark night sky outside, "He should be here too." She said silently in her heart.
