Chapter 63: My house, what I say

The heavy rain continued to fall, and the carriage was struggling on the muddy official road. {look at it}

In the last life, when he went to disaster relief, he had already received a secret report, and the plague began to spread, but under the urging and coercion of Yunyi and De Fei, he still stepped into the epidemic area. this life. The carriage was still bumping on the way to the epidemic area, but his mood was completely different from the previous life.

The wound on the lower back had just healed, and Yun Yi knew that he was seriously injured, but he still insisted on sending him to disaster relief. In this life, like the previous life, he never regarded himself as a younger brother. The small favors and favors he gave were just because he wanted more from himself and made him more determined to help him.

In Yun Yi's eyes, perhaps he was more like a dog he kept. What kindness. In that palace it was nothing but something to confuse people.

If he can't see through this life, then these two lives will really be in vain.

Brothers are like that, father and son. Isn't that the case between husband and wife?

After he ascended the throne in the last life. Even if there are not three thousand harem beauties, there are still three hundred, but who can say that they are sincere to him? Not a single person was all dressed up in front of his eyes, and they were all dressed up in front of his face. What about the back?

Are these women really ignorant of the slaughter they fought for the birth of 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 kill his unborn descendants with all kinds of methods, so in the last life, his sons were weak, and he always When he died, there was only one prince to accompany him.

In his heart, he only has that one son, and he protects and educates that child very well.

How can people who have experienced the wall of brothers and killed each other want to let their son 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 hint of sickness on his face.

"Go back to Your Highness, the carriage got stuck in the mud." The voice of the guard came from outside the car, Yun Ke raised his hand and gently lifted the curtain of the carriage, the heavy rain hung down from the sky like a curtain, and the guard who came to answer was wearing Water kept dripping down from the hood.

"It's Du Xia." Although his robes half covered his face, revealing only a smooth and elegant jaw, Yun Ke could see who he was at a glance. Yun Ke said slowly, "Then the king gets out of the car, you guys take it slow."

"Yes, my lord." Du Xia opened the 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 there was a wheel on the carriage. It fell into a mud puddle on the road, no wonder it shook violently just now.

Yun Ke stood on the side of the road and waited 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 as soon as he left the training camp. When he was terminally ill, Du Xia always took care of him, not afraid of life and death. So when Yun Ke recovered from his illness, he began to cultivate Du Xia deliberately.

Du Xia is also a high-spirited, Wencheng martial artist, who quickly stood out among the dark guards and became his most powerful help.

It was the first time that Yun Ke saw Du Xia outside since he bought him from the tooth market last time and gave it to the elders of the Dark Guard Battalion for training. So it will be released to perform the task.

The dark guards in the dark guard camp are not always hidden in the dark, and they will also wear the clothes of guards to follow the master, but they are very good at restraining their voices. They look more ordinary than the general guards, and they will not attract attention. .

Du Xia didn't know why the master suddenly stared at him, but he still straightened his back and stood in the rain like a sharp blade.

Gu Yuqi actually dared to compete with herself for Du Xia!

The corners of Yun Ke's lips twitched slightly. The dead woman didn't know what she wanted. If Du Xia followed her, would she still be the Marquis of Weiyuan in the future? Childish and ridiculous!

Thinking of this, Yun Ke couldn't help but snorted coldly in the bottom of 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? Simply ridiculous! He has already sent people to follow her. Gu Yuqi is considered cautious. If it weren't for the elites he sent to follow her, it would be difficult to find her trace.

In the last life, Gu Yuqi kept saying that she loved her, but what was she doing when she fell ill with the disease and fell into Jiangxia City? On the other hand, Zhang Wanyi found the prescription day and night and saved her life. Later, she shamelessly said that the prescription was read by her, and since she saw it, why didn't she take it out earlier? If she really saw it, with her character, why wouldn't she give credit? Maybe as soon as I was touched, I really fell in love with her. I didn't work hard beforehand, but afterward, I wanted to tell the truth and transfer the credit of others to myself.

Also, with her temperament, she even dared to disobey the imperial decree, which is nothing.

In this life, she has become even more aggressive. Yun Ke actually felt that it was light for Gu Huaizhong to expel such an unfilial daughter from the house. If it were him, he would have to strangle her personally, and he was also suspected of murdering his own mother.

I really don't understand why I still cared about her for decades after her death in my last life!

I thought that she would become a lady in this life and follow the rules, but I didn't expect that she would make such a big deal in just a few years.

Now the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion has become a joke in the eyes of the nobles in the capital. Everyone looked at Gu Huaizhong with a bit of schadenfreude.

How unfortunate the family is to have such an unfilial daughter.

"My lord, you can get on the carriage." Du Xia said to Du Xia with his eyes lowered when he saw that the other guards had already lifted the carriage out of the mud pit.

"Okay." Yun Ke supported Du Xia's outstretched 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 stunned for a moment, but still replied respectfully, "I don't remember very much about my humble job."

A cute and charming figure appeared in his heart, and his heart was slightly warm, but he still restrained his mind and focused on helping Yun Ke to 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 see into his heart.

"Your Highness is asking about Beizhi when he was a child, and Beizhi really doesn't remember much when he was a child." Du Xia said with a frown, "I just remember being resold and resisting constantly. Finally, Wangye saved Beizhi and gave him to him. A place in the humble office. The humble office only remembers so much."

He said neither humble nor arrogant, Yun Ke nodded secretly, worthy of being the future Marquis of Weiyuan, these few words were not leaking, 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 if he and Du Xia changed their identities, he would never forget the girl who once gave him a glimmer of hope, not to mention Gu Yuqi pressing What kind of heart does she want, but in such a situation, what she left to Du Xia must be an immortal memory.

Yun Ke suddenly remembered something. In the last life, when Gu Yuqi married into the palace, in order to reduce Gu Yuqi's arrogance, he asked Du Xia to worship for him that night.

Yun Ke's brows were slightly raised, revealing a somewhat intriguing look.

When she was in the Renyazi Market, it was impossible for Gu Yuqi not to recognize Du Xia, so she deliberately tried to rob Du Xia from herself. The reason? She knew that in the future, Du Xia would become the Marquis of Weiyuan in Daqi. Du Xia would only marry one woman and love his wife, so she wanted Li Dai Taozhang? Does she want to strike first?

An inexplicable anger rose from the bottom of Yun Ke's heart, and his expression became more and more stern, so it made sense! Why did Gu Yuqi keep avoiding him, in order to stay away from him and not to repeat the mistakes of the previous life.

Not only did she want to start with Du Xia, but she also thought about changing her life against the sky, leaving the capital and fleeing to the north before becoming his concubine.

Gu Yuqi, you are really good! After the anger passed, Yun Ke's brows slowly stretched out. He wanted to see if she could escape from his palm!

In order to avoid herself, even the Hou Mansion had the courage to set it on fire, she was really a ruthless and cunning woman!

Gu Yuqi energetically took Runying to tour the farm she built. After a few days of arrangement and arrangement, there were many people and great strength, and this gorgeous mansion had 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, which act as alarms. Zhao Wu incorporated Zhang Lan and the others into the team of guards, arranged shifts, and carried out various inspections of the house. Intermittent patrolling.

The twenty or so villagers who live in the front yard are also living in an orderly manner under the leadership of Zhang Lan. The land in the garden has been turned over, and rapeseed has been sprinkled. The rain is so heavy that the villagers are afraid of the ground When they couldn't grow vegetables, they also built a simple shed with oilcloth, which was very similar to a modern vegetable greenhouse, but it was much simpler than modern things. They also spontaneously rectified all the drainage in the house. Now that the yard will not accumulate water, it will immediately flow down the culvert at the foot of the wall.

The lotus leaves in the fish pond had already exposed sharp corners, and Gu Yuqi did not let them pull the lotus flowers. After all, lotus root is also a kind of vegetable. Gu Yuqi asked them to catch all the koi inside and take them to the city to sell. There are still people in Jiangxia City who are arty, and it won't take long. When the food is tight, they will not spend money to buy them. These boring things are gone. The lotus ponds are now full of edible freshwater fish.

Gu Yuqi also thought about whether it would be bad for her to do this, but she quickly got rid of the idea. She didn't hurt the world, and she didn't force others to buy it. It wasn't her fault that those people didn't have a long-term vision. Moreover, she never felt that she was a kind-hearted Virgin, and wanted to let the halo of the Virgin cover the entire Daqi.

Everyone has their own lives. In the last life, her mind was on Yun Ke, so she couldn't care about the lives of others. In this life, she only wants peace and stability, as well as her own mother's happiness and auspiciousness. As for the life and death of others, she is not in her control.

No one has stipulated that people who transcend must save all sentient beings. When it is difficult to protect oneself, it is more practical to protect oneself first.

It was as if she knew that such a heavy rain would cause the downstream **** to burst and tens of thousands of people would die, she just let it happen. As soon as she is not a saint, even if she goes around the world to shout about the flood, who will listen to her? Second, her ability is limited, she can only protect this small group of people around her, so she is 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 Gu Yuqi wants to solve the problem of water purification.

The question grieved her.

As a former traveler, although Gu Yuqi was a wealthy girl who did not worry about food and clothing in modern times, her day-to-day activities were traveling, eating and taking photos, but after all, she was also a well-educated person. She knew 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 major disaster, it is accompanied by the outbreak of plague. In the final analysis, it is the problem of water quality.

Gu Yuqi has already improved the latrine in this yard, but the problem of drinking water makes her very troubled.

There are four large wells in the house, but she is not worried that there will be no water, but Gu Yuqi is worried about whether the water is clean.

After the outbreak of the plague, there must be a problem with the water in the affected area. Although the well water is groundwater, who knows if it will be polluted? There is no special equipment to detect. Although she has a recipe for dealing with the plague, it doesn't mean that everyone will not get other diseases. So having clean drinking water is her biggest problem now.

Gu Yuqi wanted to make a water purification device and filter it a little bit. After her inspection, she brought Dai Mei into the kitchen.

"Will you burn charcoal?" Gu Yuqi asked, covering her face, covering her eyebrows.

"What do you want the charcoal to do?" Dai Mei asked.

"Of course it's useful." Gu Yuqi said with a smile.

"I have charcoal, is charcoal ok?" Dai Mei pulled out some black charcoal from the bottom of the cabinet and showed it to Gu Yuqi.

"Yes, yes." Gu Yuqi's eyes lit up, and she took the charcoal over. She asked Dai Mei to help, smashed the charcoal and poured it on a clean cotton cloth, put it all in a steamer, and added water to steam it.

Dai Mei obeyed Gu Yuqi's instructions and used a steamer to cook the charcoal, but she didn't understand why Gu Yuqi did this.

"Miss, are we going to eat charcoal?" she asked with a smile.

Gu Yuqi laughed, "Do you think charcoal can be eaten?" She asked rhetorically.

"Of course not!" Dai Mei shook her head. "I've heard of people who eat soil, but I've never heard of people who eat charcoal." After she finished speaking, her expression turned gloomy, "When I was a child, there was a famine in our hometown. I bought something to eat. The family couldn't support me, so I sold it. Fortunately, the lady bought me. "

Seeing Dai Mei's desolate expression, Gu Yuqi felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She walked over and gently embraced Dai Mei's shoulders, softly consoling, "Okay, don't think about the past. The important thing is We are living well now, aren't we?"

"En." Dai Mei gently wiped the tears from the bottom of her eyes and took a deep breath, "Yeah, so slaves will follow Miss for the rest of their lives." She was moved, and she looked at Gu Yuqi's eyes. With firmness and warmth.

"Cut, stop bragging, if you see a young man who makes you tempted 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 head Itchy, the hurt Daimei suddenly jumped away from Gu Yuqi's side, a little blushing like a boiled shrimp, "Miss!" She said angrily, but she couldn't help laughing at first.

Just smile, Gu Yuqi secretly relieved, the life and death of outsiders have nothing to do with her, but the people around her must live happily.

"By the way, miss, how long does this charcoal take to steam?" Dai Mei asked. The two were talking and fighting together. The time passed quickly, and a thick layer of steam appeared on the steamer after a while.

Gu Yuqi was stopped now. She scratched her head and said that she had accidentally seen the manufacture of activated carbon in modern times. She just said that it should be steamed with high-temperature steam, but she did not mention how long it took to steam. Her memory is super powerful, but she was lazy at that time, and she only glanced at everything, and now she is stumped.

"Steam it!" No matter, Gu Yuqi said, "Steam until the charcoal looks different!"

"What can charcoal become?" Dai Mei asked in confusion.

"It's...it looks more delicate and brighter than charcoal." Gu Yuqi scratched her head. A whimper from the bottom of my heart, why do other time-travel girls do all kinds of things! Mixed up, why is it so difficult for her to turn! It's true, she hates little when the book is ready. If she had known that she would travel through time, she should have memorized a large set of encyclopedias. This half bucket of water is really uncomfortable to shake.

The story of Gu Yuqi's steaming charcoal was seen by the village women who came to the kitchen to cook, and spread the word. After everyone had eaten, they came to the kitchen to see the charcoal steamed by this little lady. Gu Yuqi knows that she can't make the high-quality activated carbon of modern times with this earthy method, but it doesn't matter, as long as it has 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 had steamed for a long time, and the surface layer of the charcoal particles had become very smooth and shiny.

Probably almost, Gu Yuqi took out the charcoal debris, rinsed it with clean water, and washed off a layer of floating ash on the surface, and the carbon particles became more moist and clean.

Gu Yuqi blocked one end of the cotton gauze that had been sterilized with high temperature with the bamboo tube prepared by Zhang Lan, then wrapped the charcoal in gauze and poured it in, and put another layer of veil on the other side. , you're done! Gu Yuqi made several such simple water filters in one go. While she was doing it, the others watched silently.

After Gu Yuqi was done, Dai Mei couldn't help but ask, "Miss, what is this for?"

"Let's do an experiment." Gu Yuqi said with a smile, she asked Runying to bring two big wrists over, they 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 brought a simple water filter and poured the bowl of mud and sand into it. After a while, water slowly flowed out from the other end of the bamboo tube.

"It's Shimizu!" Dai Mei said in surprise and joy.

"Yeah." Gu Yuqi was very satisfied with the results of the first experiment, which proved that her water purifier had no problem filtering out some impurities.

Not only was Dai Mei surprised, but everyone else in the crowd thought it was amazing. It was just that the water flowed through this bamboo tube, and the water became clear! Everyone looked at each other, and then looked at Gu Yuqi with a bit of admiration in their eyes.

The maids and guards who originally followed Gu Yuqi saw the admiring expressions shown by the villagers who added in 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 she poured it out. She added another bamboo tube under the bamboo tube. The bottom flowed out, and the people present burst out in amazement. This inconspicuous thing can actually turn ink into clear water.

Some villagers already want to kneel and worship Gu Yuqi. Isn't this the legendary Daxian? Chi Lai is talented.

Gu Yuqi was really relieved when she saw that the water with the ink added became clear water, her water filter was really successful.

She handed the rest of the water purifier to Zhang Lan for safekeeping, and explained to him that from now on, after the well water is pumped out of the well, it must be placed in the water tank for water storage, and then use a bamboo tube to remove the water from the water tank. After the pumped water is filtered by such a water purifier, it can be used for cooking, cooking and tea. They cannot drink raw water directly. Gu Yuqi has observed them, and these men from the village like to drink water directly from the water tank. This bad habit must be corrected.

Hearing that Gu Yuqi forbade them to drink raw water, the faces of several men showed a bit of displeasure.

"You people in the city are poor and fastidious, so why can't you drink the clean water!" One couldn't help shouting. "Drinking hot tea is too much trouble! You have to wait for it to cool down, which is better than drinking it directly." After he finished speaking, several people around him nodded in agreement.

Gu Yuqi's face sank. Naturally, she would not talk to these people about bacteria, microorganisms, etc. Here, these people must obey her words unconditionally.

"What? Have an opinion?" She said in a deep voice, glancing at the crowd, "Don't forget, in my house, you have to listen to me. If you don't want to, you can leave!" Gu Yuqi's tone was very serious , The men who said that shrinked their heads, but they didn't dare to speak.

"I know you may have dissatisfaction in your heart." Gu Yuqi sneered and continued, "But there is nothing to disapprove, either you are better than me, or listen to me!"

As soon as she said this, the men's expressions froze, and they all stood up straight, and then bowed respectfully, "Yes." They lowered their heads in unison.

Seeing that they had taken it, Gu Yuqi slowly revealed a slight smile, "Don't let me see you drink raw water again. If you see it once, be careful of your skin!"

"Don't dare." The men laughed when they saw Gu Yuqi, and the dark color loosened up. If they started to have some contempt for this little girl, Gu Yuqi, after getting along for the past few days, they have all been right. Gu Yuqi was convinced. So when Gu Yuqi said that she was better than her, all these people respected her.

They have already seen Gu Yuqi's martial arts. Under her arrangement and protection these few days, they have experienced unprecedented peace of mind, so how could they disobey Gu Yuqi.

The days passed, and that night, Zhang Lan came back from outside shopping, and ran to the study in a panic and knocked on Gu Yuqi's door.

"Little miss, it's not good, as you expected, the downstream bank burst!" He wiped the rain off his face and looked at Gu Yuqi in horror, "I heard that a lot of people died and a large number of refugees came here. The county governor of Jiangxia City has ordered the gates to be closed!"

Gu Yuqi was slightly startled, and sighed deeply, "It's time to come." The refugees have come to Jiangxia City, which means that the embankment has burst a few days ago.

She murmured, looking up at the dark night sky outside, "He should have come too." She said silently in her heart.
