Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

Widow Zhou lowered her head and spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yi was like a frightened rabbit. He didn't know where he got the strength from, but he jumped out of the car with his hands.

"I...you...are not..."

Standing on the side of the road, Lu Yi's face turned red, as if it was about to bleed.

Her embarrassed look was even more unbearable than that of Widow Zhou.

"Pfft hahahaha..."

Seeing this scene, Lu You laughed out loud.

Who would have thought that such a strong-willed little brother would suffer a defeat here.

"I thought nothing in this world could scare you, but I didn't expect that just a leg could scare you like this!"

Lu You laughed and patted Lu Yi's shoulder, but in his mind, the mechanical voice of the system sounded again.

[Negative emotions from Lu Yi +30, +30, +30...]

Looking at Lu Yi's murderous eyes, Lu You waved his hands repeatedly.

"Isn't it through the skirt? It's not like you're touching her legs directly..."

"Deer Yo!!"

Lu You was interrupted by a scolding voice when he was halfway through his words.

Turning around, I saw that it came from the mouth of Widow Zhou.

At this time, Widow Zhou had already adjusted her skirt and was holding a basket of eggs tightly against her chest.

That rosy pretty face looked as if it was about to be buried in a basket, just like a frightened ostrich.

"Aunt, Lu Yi was rude, I apologize to you!!"

Lu Yi clasped his fists and bowed solemnly to Widow Zhou in the car.

Seeing this scene, Lu You put away his smile and took a deep breath helplessly.

This is not the 21st century after all, it's not that open.

Especially for scholars like Lu Yi and people of status like Widow Zhou, etiquette and laws are extremely important.

Not to mention that he touched her thigh through her skirt, in the original body's memory, a beautiful woman from the county was blocked in her home by a thief who wanted to commit a frivolous act.

After she screamed for help, the neighbors rushed into the house to rescue her, and the woman was just hugged for a while, but then she jumped into the river out of shame.

And the rest of the people actually praised this foolish behavior.

They even raised money to build a chastity arch at the place where the woman jumped into the river for future generations to admire and learn from.

It's totally off the mark!!

Thinking of this, Lu You's heart tightened, and he hurried over to Widow Zhou and whispered.

"Aunt, you're not going to die too, are you?"

Um? ?

Widow Zhou looked at Lu You in a daze, her eyes full of astonishment.

"Have I...broken any law?" Widow Zhou said in a panic, "What do you mean I have to die too..."

"Well..." Lu You patted his forehead awkwardly: "I just said... Hey? Uncle Li! Is your donkey okay?"

Seeing that he couldn't explain himself clearly, Lu You turned around and shouted directly at Uncle Li, leaving Widow Zhou aside.

But with her jokes like this, the awkward atmosphere between Widow Zhou and Lu Yi was mostly dissipated.

Although still a little reserved, it was not as awkward as before.

Uncle Li steadied the donkey cart and sighed helplessly as he looked at the direction where the two fast horses left.

"Two people, two horses, hurrying a thousand miles, I'm afraid something big must have happened!"

Following Uncle Li's words, the rest of the people also looked towards the direction of Qingshi Town.

"What else could it be but war?"

Qian straightened her clothes and snorted.

"The Jin Kingdom is also idle. It has been so many years. There is a small fight every three days and a big fight every five days. Don't they find it annoying?"

"If you ask me, it's better to have a big fight. The sooner it's over, the sooner it's over!"

Qian had a loud voice, and her words immediately attracted the attention of many people on the official road.

Seeing this, Lu Yi frowned and spoke hurriedly.

"Aunt, be careful with your words! The battle at the border is related to the safety of the three states in the western border."

"If someone with ulterior motives heard what you said, it would be fine if only you were convicted, but it would be bad if others were implicated."

Hearing Lu Yi's words, Lu You was suddenly shocked.

As far as I can remember, my aunt was well-known in the village for her big mouth, and she spoke without thinking.

If he gets the mood, even the current Martial Emperor would dare to spit at him.

But that happened in the village after all, so even if people listened, they just treated it as a joke.

But it’s not possible on this official road!

If she really said something outrageous, all the people in this car would probably be thrown into prison. Even if the crime was not punishable by death, they would definitely be skinned alive.

Qian also reacted at this time. Although she was unhappy about being scolded by Lu Yi in public, she just snorted guiltily and dared not say anything else.

Uncle Li clasped his fists and apologized to the people around him, then urged them to get in the car and drove towards Qingshi Town again.

But this time Lu Yi sat at the back of the car, and let Lu You sit next to Widow Zhou.

The remaining seven or eight miles were smooth, and at the beginning of the morning, everyone entered the city gate of Qingshi Town.

Uncle Li also has his own work in the city. The villagers of Heyuan Village can only take a bus here every time they go to the city.

"We were delayed on the road for a long time today. I'm afraid I'll have to wait until the sun sets to finish delivering the goods for them."

"If you can wait, wait for me here in advance. If you can't wait, go back on your own."

Uncle Li gave a few instructions and then hurriedly left with the donkey cart.

As for Lu You and his companions, they exchanged a few polite words and then went their separate ways.

The original body had been weak since childhood, and even in memory, he had only been out of the village a few times, so his knowledge of everything in Qingshi Town was very limited.

This was the first time that Lu You saw an ancient town. No matter where he looked, he felt a sense of novelty and was even dazzled for a moment.

But when Lu Yi saw this scene, his eyes turned slightly red.

It's only a few dozen miles away, but my second sister has only been able to come here a few times since she grew up.

My second sister has been busy around the stove and the paddy fields all the time, and her work is really hard.

Thinking of this, Lu Yi made a secret decision.

In the future, I must work hard, pass the imperial examinations, and move my family to Qingshi Town.

By then, my second sister won’t have to worry about a few coins anymore.

She can wander around this town however she wants!

Thinking of this, Lu Yi spoke slowly.

"Second sister, don't worry, we will definitely be able to move our home here in the future."

Lu You was looking around intently, and when he heard Lu Yi's words, he immediately turned around to look.

"here?"

Lu You frowned, nodded first, but then shook his head slightly.

“You can move here, but it doesn’t just stop here!”

"Look at the houses on the roadside. They have broken tiles, broken windows, rotten eaves, rotten wood, peeling paint, and old wall tiles..."

"This is so different from what I imagined!"
