Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

"Actually, it's nothing!"

Hearing Hu Laojiu's praise, Lu Ming scratched his head naively, but then he was stunned and his face became nervous again.

"Uncle, why did you fall here?"

"You are not sick with the plague?"

[Negative emotions from Hu Laojiu +15, +15, +15...]

Following Lu Ming's question, a reminder sound rang again in Lu You's mind.

But at this time, Hu Laojiu's face was full of pain.

"I was hunting in the woods before and encountered a huge wild boar."

"That beast was covered in black skin. Ordinary swords and arrows were useless. I had no choice but to run for my life. I didn't know how I missed a step and fell down."

There was a hint of fear in Hu Laojiu's words, and he really looked like he was still frightened.

But with the system's prompt sound as a warning, how could Lu You believe his nonsense?

Lu You put the dagger against Hu Laojiu's neck and turned to look at the hillside next to him.

The terrain around this valley is flat, and there are no steep cliffs at all, so how could he miss a step?

Besides, the knee-high weeds around were swaying in the wind, with no signs of being pressed down by anyone.

Where did he roll from?

Could it have fallen directly from the sky?

He doesn't pay attention to any details at all. Even a fool can't be fooled by such a lie, right?

Lu You was complaining in his heart, but Lu Ming next to him came up to Hu Laojiu with an excited look on his face.

"I hope it's not the plague!"

"Um... Uncle, where did you learn this hunting skill? Can you teach me?"

Looking at Lu Ming's shy smile, Lu You felt a lump in his heart.

Now Lu You finally understood why Lu Ming never showed any negative emotions no matter how he teased him.

You can even believe such a crude lie!

Isn't this a complete fool?

When Hu Laojiu heard that Lu Ming was interested in hunting, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

But his face showed a generous look.

"Why can't you teach me? It's not a rare skill."

"You saved my life. If you want to learn, I will teach you all my skills. I promise I won't hold back at all!"

But when he said this, Hu Laojiu took a breath of cold air.

"hiss!!"

Seeing Hu Laojiu's painful expression, Lu Ming asked nervously.

"Uncle! What's wrong with you? Are you hurt somewhere?"

"My right leg seems to have hit a tendon..."

Having said that, Hu Laojiu frowned and looked at Lu Ming.

"Little brother, I can't go home in this condition. I wonder if your village is far from here so I can rest for two days."

"Don't worry, I'm not staying here for free! Give me some money!"

As Hu Laojiu spoke, he reached into his bosom, took out two silver coins and handed them to Lu Ming.

Seeing Hu Laojiu like this, Lu Ming immediately waved his hand.

"Uncle, what are you doing?"

"You are about to teach me how to hunt, so why should I ask for your money?"

"We are from Heyuan Village ahead. You can recover at my house and leave when your leg is healed."

"As for this money, keep it quickly. My father taught us that a gentleman should not pursue wealth for the sake of justice, right, second sister..."

Lu Ming was talking excitedly, but when he looked up he was met with Lu You's cold eyes.

"........."

Seeing Lu You’s unfriendly expression, Lu Ming felt a chill down his spine.

"Um... Second sister... Is it okay for this uncle to live in our house?"

Looking at Lu Ming's somewhat embarrassed look, Lu You chuckled.

"What's not okay?"

"You finished talking before you remembered to ask me if it was okay."

"Luming, how about you take charge of this family from now on?"

Lu Ming: “…………”

Although Lu You had a cold expression on his face at this moment, he was actually very panicked in his heart.

There was a system prompt, and Hu Laojiu just said that his leg was injured and he wanted to go to the village to recuperate.

Lu You could basically conclude that this person should be a spy released by an organization such as bandits.

The usual routine is to send people to keep watch around the village, or to enter the village dressed as vendors.

One is to see whether the village is prosperous and whether there is any money to be made.

Another thing is to find out how many able-bodied men there are in the village so as to decide whether to attack the village.

Lu Dejin told these things to his siblings as stories when he was alive.

If Lu Yi were here, he would be able to see through Hu Laojiu's lies at the first moment.

But Lu Ming is a guy who gets sleepy when he sees a book and gets distracted when he listens to a lecture. He is extremely obsessed with things like wielding swords and guns.

Hu Laojiu had just agreed to teach him hunting skills. At this moment, Lu Ming's mind was probably full of bow and arrow shooting. Even if he hinted to him, it would be useless.

This is how to do?

Although Lu You knew the truth, he didn't dare to expose it on the spot.

Although Hu Laojiu is alone.

But after all, they are doing a bloody business.

Once Hu Laojiu found out that he knew the truth, he and Lu Ming, two half-grown children, might not be his match.

Holding the dagger against Hu Laojiu's neck, Lu You gritted his teeth and calmed himself down.

Kill him?

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Lu You's heart began to beat wildly as if it was about to jump out of his throat.

Although I am not a good person, at most I just fought with others in my previous life.

At most, they would slap you on the face or pull your hair, and the worst that could happen was just smashing a wine bottle.

It really made her kill someone.

Not to mention traveling here, even if she traveled back to the primitive tribe where people ate raw meat and drank blood, she was afraid that she would not be able to bring herself to kill the primitive people wearing animal skins.

Even if Lu You had a strong character, he could have cut Hu Laojiu's neck with a single blow of his knife.

But there was one thing she had to consider!

The system's radiation distance is only about ten meters. Who knows if there are other accomplices hiding in the grass and trees ten meters away?

Killing Hu Laojiu is just a matter of skill.

But what if a few big men really jump out from the bushes and shout "Demacia"!

That's the real dead end!

No!

This play has to go on!

Looking at the deer Ming opposite him, Lu You’s mind was in a state of confusion.

Since the other party has already asked to live in his house, it means that he doesn't want to take action now.

If you want to appease him, you must follow their train of thought!

Thinking of this, Lu You slowly put away the knife, squinted his eyes and revealed a smile.

"My brother is right, our meeting is fate."

"These days, with all the chaos and war, it's not easy for everyone. Everyone has their share of hard times."

"If you can help, you should help."

After hearing Lu You's words, Hu Laojiu sighed and looked at the silver in his hand.

"You two siblings are so righteous, but I took out such a vulgar thing. I am really ashamed!"

Lu Ming laughed when he heard this: "Uncle, it is said that a gentleman loves money but gets it in a proper way. My sister and I..."

Before Lu Ming could finish his words, Lu You grabbed the two cents of silver.

Lu Ming: “…………”

Hu Laojiu: “…………”

[Negative emotions from Hu Laojiu +50, +50, +50...]

Looking at the confused looks of the two men, Lu You held the silver tightly in his hand and handed it to Hu Laojiu.

"How about... return it to you?"
