Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

As he shouted, Lu You struggled and tried to rush towards the door.

This scared Aunt Yang so much that she hugged Lu You's waist tightly with both hands.

"Deer Yoya!!"

"We can't do anything stupid!!"

"Your father just passed away, you three siblings can't let anything happen to you guys again!!"

Although Aunt Yang is a bit gossipy and likes to gossip behind people's backs, she is not a bad person.

During the day, when the Qiu family guards came to cause trouble, she held Lu You in her arms, fearing that Lu You would suffer any harm.

Seeing Lu You crying and trying to commit suicide, Aunt Yang was also filled with grief and kept trying to dissuade him with tears in her voice.

While the two were arguing, villagers from Heyuan Village also came into the courtyard one after another.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know? I was just falling asleep when I heard the shouting!"

"Eh? The one on the ground... seems to be Lu Sanhu from Lu Decai's family?"

"Isn't it? This kid is lying here in the middle of the night. I'm afraid he has a stealing disease again!"

There was a lot of discussion in the courtyard, and at this moment, a hoarse scolding voice sounded behind everyone.

"what happened?"

As this voice sounded, the discussions in the courtyard suddenly quieted down.

The crowd separated, and a lame old man who was staggering and leaning on a wooden stick slowly came forward.

This person was none other than Sun Mantang, the head of Heyuan Village.

Sun Mantang joined the army in his early years. Later, he was injured in the right calf by the enemy on the battlefield, leaving him lame.

Because he had accumulated some military merits in the army, he managed to get the position of village head after some lobbying.

Most of the people in Heyuan Village are honest farmers, and many of them have never left the area within a hundred miles from birth to death.

Therefore, the people in the village admired and trusted Sun Mantang, who had been to the battlefield and traveled all over the country. What he did was right, and it was what people wanted.

When he got closer, Sun Mantang ordered his men to light torches.

With the light of the fire, Lu Sanhu's miserable appearance with blood all over his face was more clearly displayed in front of everyone.

Looking at the blood on the ground, even though Sun Mantang had been on the battlefield before, he was still shocked.

Although Lu Sanhu's injuries at this moment were not life-threatening, they were not much better.

Even if it is cured, I am afraid that it will cause chronic illness in the future.

He looked at Lu You who was crying in Aunt Yang's arms, and then looked at Lu Yi who was standing silently beside her.

Sun Mantang finally set his eyes on Lu Ming next to him.

"Luming! What the hell is going on!!"

Looking at the eyes of the people around him, Lu Ming pointed at Lu Sanhu on the ground. For a moment, he didn't know where to start.

"This...he...I don't know how to say it!!"

It’s not that Lu Ming can’t speak, he just doesn’t dare to speak now!

Just now he wanted to explain the whole story to Aunt Yang, but Lu You glared at him back.

Although his second sister was right, she didn't let him explain any more. Even if Lu Ming was dumb, he could understand that his second sister must have other plans, so he didn't dare to say anything more.

Seeing Lu Ming hesitating, the surrounding villagers began to discuss in a low voice again.

Everyone knows Lu Sanhu's character. He is a sneaky and dishonest person who does things that are not worthy of being shown in public.

Now that he's been beaten like this, no explanation is needed and everyone can guess what happened.

Sun Mantang sighed and looked at the young man next to him.

"Go, call Lu Decai and his wife over!"

The young man did not dare to delay upon hearing this and turned around and ran out of the yard.

Not long after, the young man returned, and behind him, a middle-aged couple followed.

It was none other than the original body’s uncle Lu Decai and aunt Qian.

The two men ran over breathlessly. The moment they separated the crowd and saw Lu Sanhu, Qian's legs went weak and she fell to the ground.

"My son... who the hell beat you into this state..."

Lu Decai was standing nearby at this time, and his expression became extremely ugly.

Just now someone knocked on the door and said that Lu Sanhu was beaten up. He guessed that this bastard must have been caught again because of his dirty deeds.

But he never expected that Lu Sanhu would be beaten like this.

Looking at Lu Ming and Lu Yi standing beside him, Lu Decai clenched his fists tightly.

"Luming, were you the ones who beat up Sanhu?"

Hearing Lu Decai's question, Qian, who was kneeling on the ground crying bitterly, quickly spoke.

"Isn't it obvious? Sanhu was lying in their yard. Who else could it be but them?"

"Boss! Beat these bastards to death! You have to avenge our Sanhu!!"

As Qian cried out, Lu Decai no longer hesitated, raised his hand and rushed towards Lu Ming's direction.

"Stop him!!"

With Sun Mantang's loud shout, several villagers nearby rushed up and pressed Lu Decai to the ground.

When Qian saw her husband suffering, she screamed and stood up to help, but was so frightened by the crutch raised by Sun Mantang that she sat back on the ground.

"Aren't you two embarrassed enough?"

Sun Mantang pointed his crutch at Lu Sanhu, who was beaten half to death, and scolded him in a low voice.

"This bastard, it's okay that he usually has dirty hands and feet."

"Now they have actually stolen from our own family, and on this day of mourning."

"Lu Dejin was just buried this afternoon, and the mourning hall hasn't been cleared yet. His nephew dared to break into the door and steal things."

"Even if you get beaten to death, you deserve it!!"

Hearing what the head of the village said, Qian, who was standing nearby, suddenly clapped her hands and burst into tears.

"Oh my God! Please open your eyes..."

"You keep saying that Sanhu stole something, but who saw it with their own eyes?"

Hearing Qian's shouting, Lu Decai suddenly had an idea, and then he also struggled and shouted.

"Yes! They say to catch a thief, catch the stolen goods; to catch a traitor, catch both!"

"You said Sanhu stole something. What did he steal? Why don't you take it out and show us!"

Hearing what Lu Decai and his wife said, the villagers of Heyuan Village all showed disgust on their faces.

Lu Sanhu's character has long been famous in the surrounding villages.

He was not at home sleeping in the middle of the night and came here to get beaten. Even if he didn't have any stolen goods, who wouldn't know that he was here to steal?

Although Sun Mantang knew that Lu Decai and his wife were making trouble, since they mentioned stolen goods, he, as the head of the village, naturally had to ask about it.

"Lu Ming, did this Lu Sanhu steal anything?"

Lu Ming frowned and spoke when he heard this.

"He was stealing in the middle of the night, but was discovered by my sister and I in time. He was not able to steal anything, so there was no stolen goods to speak of..."

It didn't matter what Lu Ming said, but Qian, who was sitting on the ground, started wailing loudly.

"Listen everyone! My Sanhu didn't steal anything at all, but he was beaten like this by these three little bastards!"

"Just wait for me. I'm going to sue the officials. I'm going to sue you for falsely accusing good people and abusing lynching..."

Hearing Qian's words about suing the authorities, Lu You finally raised his head slowly from Aunt Yang's arms.

I have been trying to commit suicide and crying and playing the victim for a long time, just waiting for these words!

Looking at the savage Qian, Lu You spoke slowly with a sad expression.

"Sue the authorities? Great! Let's go now. I'll go with you!"
