After dressing up as the wife of the hero of the imperial examination, I ran away

Chapter 168
"Your Excellency, you can tell me anything, as long as it is within the scope of my ability, I will definitely do my best."

I won't talk about the "before I die" behind Gu Jingcheng.

"Later, the old man will send an official to take charge of this matter. You will coordinate with him to handle it. He will discuss with you anything. You are also familiar with this official. His surname is Wu."

"That's indeed familiar, so it's not too late, I will go to solve this matter with Mr. Wu."

Wu Shu, Gu Jingcheng is indeed very familiar with him.

When there was an accident in Su Xiaomu's shop, he asked Wu Shu to help.

The teacher of the county magistrate also has some unclear relationship with Wu Shu.

After Gu Jingcheng and Wu Shu greeted each other, they went to find Su Xiaomu first.

On the way, Gu Jingcheng couldn't help thinking, in fact, he knew why the magistrate did this, but he just wanted to take this opportunity so that he could accumulate more achievements in Fucheng before the imperial examination.

Gu Jingcheng received the kindness from the magistrate, and of course he knew that if it was in the past, he might think highly of himself and would not accept the kindness from the magistrate.

But now, all he thinks about is becoming an official as soon as possible, so that Su Xiaomu can live a good life as soon as possible.

A shortcut taken by one's own ability is not a shortcut.

After Gu Jingcheng figured this out, he and Wu Shu happened to arrive at Su Xiaomu's small courtyard.

"The county magistrate said that we will go to the farm to kill insects together, starting with your farm."

Gu Jingcheng talked to Su Xiaomu without blushing, and immediately explained after seeing the astonishment on her face: "After all, you made the medicine, and no one in Fucheng understands it better than you."

"That's right, then pack up and let's go together."

Su Xiaomu thought about it for a while, and this is indeed the truth. Now that time is running out, if we go to wipe out the locusts as soon as possible, the crisis facing the farmland will be lessened.

So Su Xiaomu and Gu Jingcheng took a carriage together, and Wu Shu and other captors followed them on horseback.

After arriving at the farm, Su Xiaomu and Uncle Shi immediately organized people to strangle the insect eggs. If there were not enough people, Gu Jingcheng and the headhunters would make up for it.

It's just that their side is in full swing, and the villagers who wandered here from the next village came around to laugh at them with nothing to do.

"Don't think I'm too talkative. The last time I was talking about locusts was decades ago. We haven't heard of them in the past ten years. I'm afraid you don't know what locusts look like?"

It was the one who led the trouble last time, not to mention, although Su Xiaomu was a bit face-blind, he quickly remembered his annoying face.

"I don't think you are very old. Since you have never seen a locust, why do you think it does not exist? You say that we are worrying unnecessarily. I think you don't know what it means?"

Holding the hoe in his hand, Su Xiaomu looked at him jokingly and said, "Why don't we make a bet together? If there are locusts, how about eating all the locusts in your field?"

"You know what you're talking about?"

"Then do you know what you have a long head for?" Su Xiaomu was speechless when he saw him, rolled his eyes and waved to him.

"Hurry up, don't waste my time here, anyway, I heard that the locusts should eat people after eating the crops in the field. I see that you have so much meat, it should be enough for them to eat."

"you you!"

The troublemaker's face turned blue from Su Xiaomu's anger. Just when he was in a state of desperation and wanted to fight Su Xiaomu, Gu Jingcheng, who heard some movement not far away, came with the arrester.

Seeing the villagers in the next village and his movements, his expression sank instantly.

Wu Shu, who was following him, also hated this kind of people who didn't know what to say and made a fuss. He showed the notice stamped by the magistrate himself for everyone to see, especially for the troublemakers.

"My lord, keep your eyes open and see clearly. The county magistrate personally ordered all the fields in the prefecture to be sprayed with insect repellent. The locust plague is coming. If any of you don't cooperate and cause the locust plague to expand, it will be a great crime for the Jiuzu clan!"

All the people present were stunned after listening, and they dared not speak any more.

Oh my God, that was a plague of locusts, a truly terrible disaster!

Zhu Jiu Clan... As far as the in-law relationship of these villages is concerned, I am afraid that this area will be killed, right?

The villagers were worried about their lives, and worried that they would be displaced and have nothing to rely on, so all of them were full of enthusiasm for the prevention and control of this locust plague from the beginning.

With the incident just now, Gu Jingcheng will not be separated from Su Xiaomu either.

"I want to be with you. If there is another person who is as short-sighted as before, I will protect you and never let you suffer any harm."

When Gu Jingcheng's words fell, he was decisive, causing Su Xiaomu to see the firmness in his eyes, and nodded in agreement in a daze.

The two of them worked together to control insect eggs in the farm, and most of the people in the farm had seen Gu Jingcheng before.

Even those who have never seen him know that Su Xiaomu has a husband who studies.

Before, there were people who talked about Su Xiaomu behind her back, saying that she is so capable in doing business, so she is not afraid of being too capable and causing suspicion from her husband's family?
But now, seeing the two of them getting along well, no one who doesn't have long-sighted people discusses in private anymore.

It's just that everyone whispered behind their backs that the two of them have a good relationship as husband and wife, which arouses the envy of others.

In this case, Su Xiaomu really listened to a lot when he put the insect repellent in front.

But no matter how much she listened to, she didn't feel embarrassed. This proved that the two of them had done a good job of saving face, and they both knew how to act.

The insect repellent in the field was almost done, so Su Xiaomu and Gu Jingcheng went to the stream to check the situation together.

The two of them went up and down, almost a hundred meters apart.

Su Xiaomu has to see if there is any problem with the water source. After all, water is the foundation of human beings. If there is a problem with the water source, even if the locusts are solved, it will only treat the symptoms but not the root cause of the disease.

Su Xiaomu kept poking her head towards the river. The river was not very deep, so she didn't take her very seriously.

It’s just that at this moment, it just happened to confirm a sentence: How can you not get your shoes wet when you often walk by the river?

She couldn't stand still, stepped on a mossy stone by the river, and threw herself straight into the river.

"what!"

A shrill scream pierced the sky, Gu Jingcheng immediately ran over from a hundred meters away when he heard the movement, he stretched out his hand to fish Su Xiaomu out of the water without the slightest hesitation, and before she could react, he pulled Su Xiaomu out of the water. He took off his coat and put it on her.

"Ah!"

Suddenly getting out of trouble, Su Xiaomu still hadn't recovered.

She opened her big wet eyes and looked at him pitifully, making Gu Jingcheng unable to utter a word of accusation at this moment.

Gu Jingcheng picked her up, pressed her small head against his chest with his hand, his voice came out of his throat muffled: "Be careful next time."
