Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

It was not until the lights came on and Widow Zhou had used up the last bit of batter that Lu You apologized to the onlookers and closed up his stall.

Seeing everyone's disappointed looks, Widow Zhou quietly leaned close to Lu You's ear.

"Luyo, why don't we make some batter."

"There are many young masters coming to the brothel at night, and maybe more will be sold than during the day!"

Upon hearing this, Lu You took Widow Zhou's arm.

"Aunt, during the day, did you see any young masters coming to buy cakes?"

"I didn't pay much attention." Widow Zhou shook her head and said, "But judging from their clothes, it seems that there are no children from wealthy families here."

"Yup!"

Lu You said with a smile.

"Even if those young masters wanted to buy something, they would definitely ask others to do it for them. There is no need for them to queue up themselves."

"And those subordinates they sent out must have lined up early because they were afraid of not being able to complete their master's tasks."

"Otherwise, how could there be so many people in this city who are willing to spend three coins to eat a pancake?"

A few people packed up their stalls and went home, but just as they walked out of Xing'an Street and turned into a narrow alley more than ten feet wide, they saw several figures coming towards them.

Although this strange world is not like the modern world, there are no street lights.

Fortunately, there was no haze, and even the moonlight allowed Lu You to see the person in front of him clearly.

There were four people in total, and they were all masked!

"Second sister, there's a blockage behind us!"

Lu Yi's voice came from behind. Lu You turned around and saw that there were also four or five people at the entrance of the alley, and they had formed a pincer attack with the people in front.

A masked man took two steps forward.

"Ms. Lu, hand over the pancake recipe and we won't make it difficult for you..."

"Shut up first!" Lu You said, "Let me see if the four of us can run away."

As he spoke, Lu You actually began to carefully observe the walls on both sides.

"It's a bit high. I can go up there, but can you guys?" Lu You asked the other three.

The three people behind Lu You had strange expressions on their faces at this time.

Being blocked in a narrow alley under the moonlight should have been extremely brutal, but after being disturbed by Lu You, the three of them did not feel nervous at all.

"I can't go up." Lu Yi spoke first.

Widow Zhou said nothing and just shook her head slightly.

Lu Ming next to him took two steps forward, leaped hard, and then hit the wall hard.

Hearing the muffled sound, even Lu You couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart. On the other hand, Lu Ming stood up and casually patted his clothes.

"Second sister, I can't climb up this wall, and I can't break it open!"

Who asked you?

Lu You complained in his heart, but raised his head and looked behind the person who spoke.

"It seems like we can't escape. In that case...eh? Who's that person behind us?"

Following Lu You's words, the four people facing each other subconsciously turned their heads and looked, but where did they see a human figure?

"How dare you play tricks on me..."

The man sneered and shouted, but when he turned around, he saw a black pancake griddle getting bigger and bigger in front of him.

when!

With a muffled sound, the man with the veil leaned straight back.

[Negative emotions from Chen Dahu +100, +100, +100...]

As the prompt sounded in the system, Lu You bent down to avoid the sweeping whistle stick and raised his foot to go straight to the second person's lower three paths.

Along with a sharp wail that pierced the night sky, the system prompt sounded again.

[Negative emotions from Qin Dazhuang +100, +100, +100...]

The remaining two people had no time to react at all before Lu You rushed in front of them.

The pancake griddle was swung, and the two men flew backwards, holding their heads and rolling on the ground.

[Negative emotions from Li Cheng +100...]

Lu You turned his head to look at the people behind him, only to see several masked men blocking the road. They were standing there blankly, at a loss as to what to do.

It really happened too quickly. From the time Lu You took action to now, only three or four breaths had passed, and Lu You had knocked down four people easily and neatly.

With such skills, he is definitely a martial artist.

How dare they move?

Lu Yi walked forward and reached out to pull off the veil of one of the masked men.

"It's Mr. Qiu's guard. He's the one who dismantled our father's mourning shed last time."

Hearing Lu Yi's words, Lu You hurried forward to check, and sure enough, it was just as Lu Yi said. This was the person who brought people to collect debts and cause trouble on the day she traveled through time.

"Chen Dahu, right?"

Lu You doesn't have as good a memory as Lu Yi, but she does have a record of negative emotion income.

"Did Mr. Qiu ask you to come?"

"Who is Chen Dahu? I don't understand what you are saying..."

Chen Dahu was hit in the face by Lu You with a pancake pan. His face was covered in blood and he could not even speak clearly.

But when he heard Lu You mention Mr. Qiu's name, he still gritted his teeth and chose to deny it.

"We failed tonight. We are doomed. If you have the guts, kill me..."

As Chen Dahu was speaking, he heard Lu You suddenly speak.

"Can I interrupt you for a moment?"

Chen Dahu was slightly stunned, and after thinking for a while, he said in a muffled voice: "Okay."

"Thank you."

Lu You said politely, then raised the pancake griddle and smashed it hard on Chen Dahu's calf.

Click! !

With that crisp sound, Chen Dahu's calves bent into a strange posture.

Really interrupt?

Everyone stared at Lu You with wide eyes and felt a chill in their hearts.

Chen Dahu howled miserably. Under the pain of broken bones, he seemed to be crazy, pinching his broken leg and twisting it continuously.

Lu You stood up and threw the pancake pan on the ground.

"This pancake pan is stained with your blood, so I'm giving it to you."

"Your leg is broken, so you can't be a guard in the future. If you practice making pancakes more, maybe you can still find a way to survive."

"By the way, please tell Mr. Qiu not to bother me again, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

After saying this, Lu You took the lead and walked outside.

Lu Yi and his companions followed closely behind. As for the remaining few guards of the Qiu family, they did not even dare to move and could only watch the four people leave.

After returning home, Lu You turned around and bolted the door, then squatted on the ground and began to take deep breaths.

"Second sister, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Lu You like this, Lu Ming hurried forward and asked.

"I'm too nervous. Just wait for me to calm down..." Lu You said breathlessly.

Hearing this answer, Widow Zhou hurried to the wooden table in the middle of the yard and poured a bowl of herbal tea for Lu You.

"Drink some water quickly!" Widow Zhou brought the herbal tea to Lu You.

Lu You took it with both hands, raised his head and poured the big bowl of herbal tea into his mouth, and finally he calmed down a little.

"Drink slowly, don't get excited." Widow Zhou comforted Lu You softly, "You hit me so skillfully just now, I thought you weren't afraid!"

Upon hearing this, Lu You looked up at Widow Zhou.

“I am not afraid of beating others or being beaten.”

"But I'm afraid of death!"
