Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

Looking at Lu You's innocent eyes, Hu Laojiu's mouth twitched twice before he forced out a smile.

"These two coins were originally meant for you..."

"Then I'll be disrespectful!"

Before Hu Laojiu could finish his words, Lu You had already stuffed the silver into the secret bag around his waist.

At this moment, Lu Ming, who was standing aside, had a look of confusion in his eyes.

It is really despicable that my second sister accepted money for such a righteous act.

He wanted to persuade her, but when he thought about how Lu Yi had knelt for a whole night just because he had questioned his second sister a little, he wisely gave up the idea.

Squatting down, Lu Ming reached out and hooked Hu Laojiu's neck.

"Uncle, please sit up first!"

With the help of Lu Ming, Hu Laojiu struggled to stand up, but just as he raised his head, a hand pressed directly on his forehead and pressed him to the ground again.

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

Lu Ming looked at Lu You with confused eyes: "Second sister! What are you doing..."

Lu You raised his head and smiled widely.

"This uncle fell and was injured. If he broke his bones, moving around like this would probably make the injury worse."

"Oh!" Lu Ming suddenly realized: "Second sister is right."

Hu Laojiu stared at Lu Ming with eyes wide open.

Isn't this child too easily persuaded?

Is there any truth in what your sister said?

I don't have any external injuries on my body, how could I be hurt worse?

But thinking that Lu You and the others had agreed to let him live in their house, Hu Laojiu still endured it.

"Girl, I just broke my leg, it's nothing serious..."

As he spoke, Hu Laojiu was about to prop himself up and stand up again, but Lu You reached out and pushed him down again.

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

Hu Laojiu: “…………”

Lu You squatted on the ground and slowly withdrew his hand.

"Uncle, please don't be polite!"

"We have simple folk customs here. Just lie down quietly. I will make a stretcher and carry you home."

"Stretcher?" Hu Laojiu looked at Lu You with some confusion: "What is that?"

"It's a frame for carrying people."

Lu You said with a smile, then looked up at Lu Ming.

"Go find two strong wooden sticks that are more than one meter tall, stick them into the ground about shoulder width away, and then tie the hemp rope around them."

Although Lu Ming didn't understand what his second sister was going to do, he was very obedient.

Upon hearing the order, Lu Ming directly opened the bundle of firewood and began to pick out sticks from it.

On the ground, Hu Laojiu forced a smile and looked at Lu You.

"Little girl, let me get up, I can help him."

Lu You shook his head slightly when he heard this: "You are injured, you need to rest more."

"how about you?"

"I want to take care of you."

[Negative emotions from Hu Laojiu +30, +30, +30...]

…………

Under Lu You's command, in less than a quarter of an hour, Lu Ming finally made the world's first simple stretcher.

After lifting Hu Laojiu, Lu You and the other man walked towards the village.

Because of everything that happened before, Hu Laojiu had always suspected that Lu You was playing tricks on him.

But when he was carried away on the stretcher, Hu Laojiu began to blame himself in his heart.

The girl was so thin that every step she took was extremely strenuous, but she insisted on carrying herself home.

Such a pure and kind person is rare!

Looking at Lu You's flushed face, Hu Laojiu made up his mind.

When we attack Heyuan Village in the future, I will definitely tell my brothers to let the brother and sister go.

Consider it just returning their favor!

Lu Ming, who was walking in front, was also moved at this moment.

In his opinion, Lu You insisted on making this stretcher just to help him share the weight.

Although the second sister is greedy for money, she always thinks about herself and Lu Yi.

Thinking of this, Lu Ming turned and looked at Hu Laojiu.

"Uncle, please move closer to me so that my second sister can be more relaxed."

"Okay!" Hu Laojiu said a little embarrassedly, "Thanks to you two sisters this time, I will definitely reward you handsomely in the future!"

Seeing Hu Laojiu's sincere look, Lu Youlian said it was not necessary, but his mind was all on the surrounding mountains and forests.

The range of this system is only about ten meters, which is still a bit small. There is no way to determine whether there are any accomplices of Hu Laojiu around.

Otherwise, why would I have to endure this suffering?

Seeing that there was no movement in the surrounding woods, Lu You felt uneasy and couldn't help but quicken his pace.

This Hu Laojiu is most likely a roving bandit spy. Although he looks kind, no one can predict when he will suddenly attack and hurt people.

It definitely won’t work if I really take it home!

But if she didn't take him away, Lu You was worried that he would turn against her.

After much thought, the only way to save my life is to take the only way back to the village: Hengya Bridge!

"Little girl, why don't I just get down and walk!"

Seeing beads of sweat dripping down Lu You's face, Hu Laojiu couldn't bear to speak again.

"My leg is really not a big deal. It will recover in two days. There's no need to be so careful."

Hearing what Hu Laojiu said, Lu You smiled and shook his head.

"Uncle, just lie down and relax. The cliff bridge is not far ahead."

"After you cross the bridge, you will be not far from the village. The road over there is relatively flat. You can walk on your own and save yourself the effort."

"Cliff Bridge?" Hu Laojiu was puzzled when he heard it: "This name is strange."

"Isn't that uncle from nearby?"

Hearing this, Lu Ming smiled and took over the conversation.

"You may not know that our Heyuan Village is the uppermost village along the Qingshui River. Further in, we enter the mountains and are not suitable for farmers to live in."

"This place is different from the villages and towns downstream. The river water is relatively turbulent, and this cliff bridge was built by the river."

"The old people in the village said that the bridge was originally a hill, and the water used to flow around it. But one year there was a flood, and half of the hill was washed away."

"What a coincidence! On top of that hill, there is actually a large bluestone that is dozens of feet long."

"Because the mountain below was washed away by the water, the bluestone that protruded out was like a cliff lying across the river."

"Besides, the river course changed after the flood, and the original bridge could no longer be used. So our ancestors used the large bluestone to build this new cliff bridge."

"This bridge, which is half bluestone, half wood, half man-made, and half natural, is probably the only one in the world!"

When saying these words, Lu Ming's voice was full of pride, as if the cliff bridge was built by him.

At this time, Hu Laojiu was also attracted by Lu Ming's story and became very interested in the Cliff Bridge.

"This is the first time I, Old Hu, have heard of a half-stone, half-wood bridge in my life. It seems like today is the day for me to open my eyes!"

Looking at Hu Laojiu's expectant expression, Lu You's eyes were full of smiles.

"Uncle, we are just ahead."

"Once we get to the bridge, we'll take a break so you can take a good look at the scenery on the bridge!"
