Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

what's the situation?

Lu You stared at the strange scene in the restaurant with wide eyes.

She wanted to find someone to ask, but for some reason, she felt that she had to keep her mouth shut and not make any sound.

That feeling is like being possessed by a ghost, which makes people's spine cold.

Everyone turned to look at Guan Shanyue, only to see the white-haired old man slowly put down his wine glass.

"It's just a knife I picked up. It's not a big deal."

"As for what you said, that Lu You might be related to the chaos in the city today, that's nonsense."

"Since noon today, Lu You and I have been drinking and writing poetry in this Shuxiang Restaurant. I am the witness."

As he spoke, Guan Shanyue looked coldly at Qian Zhaode and the others.

Qian Zhaode let out a long sigh: "Mr. Guan, this is the order of Lord Lang..."

"I will use my own good reputation as a guarantee for Lu You. If Lang Zhengping doesn't believe me, let him come to me himself!"

There was no politeness in Guan Shanyue's words, and it was obvious that he did not take County Magistrate Lang seriously.

Qian Zhaode wanted to say something, but seeing that Guan Shanyue was already angry, he had to bow and leave.

The detectives turned around and left, all with looks of indignation on their faces.

"Boss, are we just going to leave like this?" A constable stepped forward and asked unwillingly, "Isn't that old man just a teacher? He doesn't hold any official position, why should we be afraid of him?"

Qian Zhaode handed the blood-stained sword in his hand to the constable and spoke in a deep voice.

"You are young, and you don't know how terrifying Mr. Guan is."

"More than a decade ago, when Mr. Guan returned from his travels around the world and opened Shangpin Academy, our Qingzhou prefect, Mr. Wen, personally came to pay a visit with the magistrates of Qingzhou's thirty-six counties."

"Master Wen not only asked Mr. Guan to move the academy to Qingzhou City, but also regarded himself as a student."

"After being rejected by Mr. Guan, more than a hundred wealthy families sent their children to him, wanting to become his disciples."

"It's just that they were all rejected by Mr. Guan!"

Speaking of this, Qian Zhaode couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

Lu You used to sell cakes and gave him a lot of benefits.

But now the county jail was on fire and robbed, the jailer and the head of the prison were killed, and Lu Ming, the soldier and bandit accomplice, also disappeared.

Lord Lang would naturally not let go of the brother and sister Lu You and Lu Yi.

Qian Zhaode volunteered to lead the team to capture Lu You this time. His purpose was to capture Lu You, who had given him many benefits, and to show his loyalty to Lord Lang.

But who would have thought that Mr. Guan, a great scholar who had not done any favors for anyone in more than ten years, would actually come forward to protect Lu You.

I'm afraid I really offended the wrong person this time!

Qian Zhaode was just thinking about it when the voice of the constable next to him came again: "If we go back like this, will Lord Lang be angry?"

"There's no point getting angry." Qian Zhaode sighed and said, "With Mr. Guan as guarantor, unless there is solid evidence, even if the prefect comes, he will definitely not be able to touch the deer!"

………………

Inside the restaurant, the students were clapping their hands in celebration as the constable retreated.

After Lu You thanked all the students, he turned around and came to Guan Shanyue and bowed deeply.

"Thank you, Mr. Guan, for guaranteeing my sister and brother."

Guan Shanyue stretched out his hand and lifted Lu You up: "You asked me to come here, isn't that what I am doing?"

Hearing this, Lu You’s body suddenly stiffened.

Guan Shanyue's words clearly told him that he knew what was happening outside was related to him.

"Mr. Guan, what do you mean?" Lu You asked, pretending to be calm.

But Guan Shanyue chuckled and spoke in a low voice.

"Do you really think that I came to this banquet just for the poem I gave to Master Guan?"

"You are underestimating me!"

Guan Shanyue patted Lu You's shoulder gently, then turned and walked out the door.

Seeing this, all the students bowed to see him off, while Lu You looked at the departing figure with mixed feelings in his heart.

This fork is installed by you!

I almost believed it!

If it wasn't for the poem I dedicated to Master Guan, would you have come to the banquet?

This old man is so old, why is he not real at all?

The banquet started in late afternoon and had lasted for half a day by this time.

As Guan Shanyue left, the other students also gradually left. By the time the last person left, the sun was setting.

There were six tables of banquet in total. Lu You calculated the expenses for the food and drinks, left four taels of silver for Liu, and then took Lu Yi and Widow Zhou to thank them and left.

When they returned to Buhou Street, the three of them saw from afar that the entrance of their courtyard was surrounded by neighbors.

"Sister Lu You is back!"

Tiantian shouted loudly in the crowd and then ran straight to Luyou.

"Sister Lu You, you're finally back. A group of detectives just came and stormed into your yard and turned it upside down."

"Did something happen?"

Seeing Tiantian's anxious look, Lu You patted the back of her hand and comforted her softly.

"It's okay. It's all over."

Hearing Lu You's words, Tiantian's mouth pursed and tears as big as beans fell from her eyes.

"Sister Lu You, please stop lying to me."

"I know everything. Brother Luming is in cahoots with those soldiers and bandits. They killed the county magistrate's son last night."

"All these things happened because of me. If it weren't for protecting me, Brother Luming wouldn't have made enemies with them..."

As she spoke, Tiantian was already sobbing uncontrollably.

Lu You had no choice but to hand her over to Aunt Wei's arms and let Aunt Wei take her away.

In fact, Luyou wanted to tell Tiantian that Luming was fine.

But jailbreaking is a death penalty after all, and the fewer people who know about it, the safer it is.

After seeing everyone off, Lu You and the other two closed the door and began to clean up the yard bit by bit.

These detectives are more like destroying a house than searching it.

From beds, tables and chairs to pens, ink, paper and inkstones, the things in the yard were broken or lost.

The three of them worked until midnight before they finally tidied up the three rooms and finally had a place to live.

"You must be hungry."

Looking at Widow Zhou with messy hair, Lu You flipped his wrist and three steaming pancakes appeared out of thin air in his hand.

Lu You also figured it out at this time.

Lu Yi knew that he was not the original Lu You, while Widow Zhou believed that she was the descendant of an immortal.

Anyway, in the eyes of both of them, I am not a normal person, so why should I install a yo-yo?

"I'm too tired today, so I can't make too many pancakes. Let's each have one first to fill our stomachs."

As she spoke, Lu You gave a pancake to Lu Yi and Widow Zhou respectively, while she herself sat on a chair and began to eat with big mouthfuls.

Lu Yi looked at the pancake in his hand without moving, obviously worried about something.

Widow Zhou was already frightened by Lu You's methods. Seeing that Lu Yi refused to eat the food, she only dared to take it timidly, obviously because she was afraid of causing dissatisfaction from the 'Deer Immortal' in front of her.

Looking at the two of them like this, Lu You sighed helplessly.

"Auntie, you've been tired all day, go and rest early."

"Remember to eat the cake before going to bed. It won't taste good if it gets cold."

At this time, Widow Zhou had become Lu You's most devout believer.

After hearing Lu You's instructions, Widow Zhou held the sesame cake in both hands and bowed respectfully, then carefully retreated.

Hearing the sound of Widow Zhou closing the door in the yard, Lu You turned around and looked at Lu Yi.

"Now that we're alone, don't hide anything. Just ask whatever you want to ask."
