Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

"Can, can, can..."

The tall and thin man shouted for mercy, and at the same time, the system prompt sound finally rang in Lu You's mind.

[Negative emotions from Jiang Feng +10, +10, +10...]

[Negative emotions from Zhao Shan +10, +10, +10...]

There are only ten points of negative emotions. It seems that these two people are really cowardly. They are really just errand boys.

Letting go of the two men, Lu You reached into her skirt with her right hand, pulled out a dagger, and thrust it forcefully into the ground between the two men.

"You... one of you is called Jiang Feng, and the other is called Zhao Shan... am I right?"

Following Lu You's words, Jiang and Zhao's cries for mercy came to an abrupt end, and the fear in their eyes intensified even more.

Having worked as a handyman and run errands in casinos for years, they are very familiar with the process of arresting people.

Once the names of those gamblers who borrow money are called out, their financial details have basically been known. Unless they abandon their families, it is impossible for them to escape.

The two of them were just low-level errand boys in the casino. They were usually ordered around and had never done anything to stand out.

But at this time, Lu You, a stranger, called out the names of the two accurately. It seems that he had been keeping an eye on them for a long time!

With this thought in mind, the tall and thin man who was originally lying on the ground quickly knelt up.

"My dear lady, we are just errand boys. Apart from beating people and destroying houses, we have never done anything bad! Please have mercy on us and forgive us!"

"Yes, yes!" The short and fat guy next to him quickly knelt down and shouted, "Except for flirting with the blacksmith Wang's Erya, I didn't do anything bad!!"

Beating people and destroying homes...

Flirting with Erya...

This guy didn't do anything bad?

What else do you want to do?

Lu You complained in his heart, but was too lazy to talk nonsense with the two of them.

"Let me ask you, how do you get to Shangpin Academy?"

Hearing Lu You's words, the tall and thin man quickly stood up and pointed forward.

"Auntie, go straight along this road. When you see Langfang Bridge, cross it. Then go along the small road and turn left after three intersections..."

The tall and thin man hadn't finished speaking yet, but Lu You was already feeling a headache.

"Forget it, just send it to me later, so I don't have to go through this boring journey."

Upon hearing this, the tall and thin man's face suddenly turned bitter: "Auntie, please forgive me..."

The tall and thin man wanted to say something else, but he saw that Lu You had already grabbed the dagger on the ground.

"Auntie, come this way, I'll lead the way for you!"

Seeing that Lu You was about to take action, the two of them hurriedly stood up and led the way.

Originally, he was frail and sickly, so he stayed at home all the time and seldom went into the city. Although he had been to Shangpin Academy, that was several years ago and his memory was no longer so clear.

With the two of them leading the way, Lu You didn't have to bother asking for directions.

But just as they were about to reach Langfang Bridge, Lu You saw a familiar figure coming towards him, it was Lu Yi.

"Xiao Yi!"

From a distance, Lu You shouted loudly.

Lu Yi was walking with his head down. When he heard Lu You's shout, he was startled. Then he looked for the sound and walked towards this side.

"Second sister? You have this..."

Before he got close, Lu Yi had already frowned.

Lu You looked down at his clothes, then waved his hand casually.

"It's okay, I just had a fight with someone!"

[Negative emotions from Lu Yi +10, +10, +10...]

Just as Lu You finished speaking, he heard the reminder sound in his mind ring again.

Looking at Lu Yi's slightly frowning face, Lu You felt a toothache.

It is indeed not appropriate for this brother to stay for long!

Lu Yi naturally didn't know that his second sister was thinking about him again. At this moment, his eyes fell on the two people who were smiling apologetically beside Lu You.

"Second sister, if I remember correctly, they should be people from the casino. Why are they following you?"

"You beat up the people at the casino?"

Lu You stared at Lu Yi with eyes wide open!

"Have you ever been to a casino?"

"I haven't been there." Lu Yi said calmly, "Half a year ago, my father and I went to the city to deliver books. We passed by the entrance of the casino and saw them basking in the sun."

hiss……

Looking at Lu Yi's always calm poker face, Lu You's heart was shaken.

"I took a quick look at it half a year ago. Can you remember it now?"

Lu Yi looked puzzled when he heard this: "Isn't it very simple?"

"It's not easy at all, okay?"

Lu You sighed speechlessly, it is true that if you compare yourself to others, you will die, and if you compare goods to others, you will throw them away.

She knew that Lu Yi had been knowledgeable and had a good memory since he was young, but she didn't expect him to be so good.

If such a monster had not been born in a remote place like Heyuan Village, he would have become famous long ago and become a retainer of high-ranking officials.

But it’s not too bad now. After all, I’m a time traveler and I have an unreliable system.

I can't do anything else, but it wouldn't be difficult to just give Lu Yi a push from behind.

Fantasizing about the beautiful life in the future, Lu You gently patted Lu Yi's shoulder.

"Xiao Yi, I've always seen you as someone who can accomplish great things!"

"Okay, give me the manuscript fee... the writing fee."

Lu You spread her hands and said to Lu Yi that as a "parent", she had to collect all the money and spend it together.

But after hearing Lu You's words, Lu Yi frowned slightly, then reached into his waist and took out a small piece of pitiful silver.

"that is all!"

Taking the silver coins in his hand, Lu You looked at Lu Yi in confusion.

"As I recall, we seem to have been delivering books for about a month. I copied two books before, plus the three you copied, so five books should cost about three cents."

"Why is it only one penny? Are you hiding some of your own money?"

Lu Yi shook his head slightly.

"It was Manager Ma from the library of Shangpin Academy. He said the handwriting on these books was illegible and he only offered one penny."

Hearing this, Lu You frowned.

Although Lu Yi is small, he can write powerfully and his handwriting is unique, with a hint of the style of a great master.

Because the copies were neat and clean, they had always been popular among students, and there was absolutely no possibility of sloppy handwriting.

"Xiaoyi, is your copying really so sloppy?" Lu You asked.

Lu Yi stood with his hands behind his back, looking calmly into Lu You's eyes.

"Second sister, now that Dad is gone, our family has no one to rely on."

"This Manager Ma is just bullying us like Mr. Qiu. We can only endure it."

“Hold on!” Lu You raised his hand, grabbed Lu Yi’s collar and ran straight to the bridge: “Dad is dead, but you still have a sister, go find him!”

At the bridge, the two thugs, one tall and one short, were in a dilemma when they saw this scene.

"Um... Auntie, then we won't follow you!"

The tall and thin man asked Lu You carefully, but all he got in return was a simple "get out!"

Lu You and the other person walked forward for a quarter of an hour before they saw a huge gate tower.

Shangpin Academy!

Looking at the tightly closed door, Lu You raised his foot and kicked it!

"Ma! Get out here right here!"
