Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

Chenzheng, Qingshi Town, Zhengyang Street, Changlefang Casino.

From the outside, the layout of the Changlefang Casino is similar to that of the Shuxiang Restaurant, except that its facade is larger.

Lu You looked up and down, but fixed his eyes on the wide open window.

It was clearly an open window, but there were wooden boards nailed inside. The boards were spaced very close together, just enough to put your arm in.

Not only that, even the door was covered with a door panel, leaving only enough space for one person to pass through.

“Is this closed?”

Lu You asked Widow Zhou curiously.

Widow Zhou shook her head slightly when she heard this: "This is to prevent those gamblers from escaping."

"The gamblers who come here to gamble will do anything when they lose money."

"I heard that someone lost money and then turned to robbery. There are so many evil spirits here, it's a mess!"

After hearing this explanation, Lu You glanced at Widow Zhou's face, but he began to have doubts in his heart.

In fact, Lu You noticed it last night when Widow Zhou suggested selling pancakes to the casino.

As a farmer, Widow Zhou knew too much about casinos.

If there was a rumor that gamblers in casinos were given borneol and musk to boost their energy, she heard it from a gambler who was buying eggs.

But right now, Widow Zhou couldn't pretend to be indifferent.

Just like Mr. Yang who used to sell tea in the market. Not to mention coming to the casino, even seeing Zheng Xiezi and those casino thugs, he was so scared that he bowed and begged for mercy.

But look at this widow Zhou, a woman, who was talking about the evil spirits in the gambling house while keeping her expression calm and composed.

Standing at the door of this gambling house, not only was there no fear at all, but instead I felt as at ease as if I was back home.

There is something absolutely wrong with this!

But even though he was grumbling in his heart, Lu You didn't intend to ask more questions.

After all, other people's past has nothing to do with me, and from the time I met Widow Zhou until now, all the negative emotions she has had towards me have reasons.

From this, Lu You could basically judge that Widow Zhou had no ill will towards him.

Just making sure of this is enough.

"Luming, go knock on the door." Lu You whispered.

Lu Ming said "oh" when he heard that, then walked to the door and gently knocked on it with his hand.

"anyone there?"

Seeing Lu Ming looking a little reserved, Widow Zhou turned to look at Lu You.

"Luyou, the casino is full of gangsters. If someone like Luming is so polite, it will be difficult to negotiate this deal later."

Lu You smiled slightly when he heard this: "Let him explore it himself first."

Lu Ming is honest and kind by nature, and has no bad intentions.

This character is fine in the village, but it doesn't work in the city.

Not to mention that Lu Ming is already sixteen years old this year, and it is time for him to get married, start a family and take on the responsibilities of his own.

If I continue to be as foolish as I am now and think everyone is a good person, I will probably suffer a great loss in the future!

This is also the reason why Lu You arranged Lu Yi to deliver the cakes and asked Lu Ming to follow him to the casino.

The purpose is to let Lu Ming see the dark side of this society and teach him a lesson.

As for Lu Yi, his character is already dark enough, and Lu You needs to see more warmth in this world.

This can also be considered a kind of teaching in accordance with the students' aptitude.

After hearing Lu You's words, Widow Zhou understood her intention and stopped talking. She just stayed with Lu You and watched Lu Ming knocking on the door "gently".

Soon, an impatient voice was heard from the gambling house.

"You come knocking on the door so early in the morning, do you know the rules?"

Along with the shouting and cursing, half of a body appeared from the gap in the door panel. It was a yawning man.

The man was stunned when he saw Lu Ming was a stranger: "I haven't seen you before? Who are you looking for?"

Lu Ming bowed to the man and said, "Big brother, please tell us that we want to see the manager here."

Seeing Lu Ming being so polite, the man was stunned for a moment, and then he burst out laughing.

"How can you, a grown man, speak sourly, just like those scholars?"

As he spoke, the man looked up at Lu You and the other person not far away.

The man's eyes only glanced at Lu You's face briefly, then moved away again and fell on Widow Zhou.

Looking at the man's undisguised greedy eyes towards Widow Zhou.

Lu You felt unwell all over.

What do you mean?

Although the man's eyes only glanced at her just now, she could clearly see the disgust and disdain in his eyes.

It’s just because I’m weak and haven’t developed well!

I got a little tanned because of working all year round!

I have grown a little skinny because I don’t eat enough!

Plus I didn’t buy any nice clothes, my hair was dry, split and had no luster…

The rest are still excellent, right?

You kid, you are praising one person and bullying another here. Who are you looking down on?

Lu You was just thinking about it when he saw the man looking at Widow Zhou with a lewd smile.

"Looking at you, your family members are running here to beg for mercy because they can't pay off their gambling debts, right?"

"Master Ma San is not here now, you should come back in the afternoon."

"You don't need to bring anything when the time comes. Just wash and dress yourself."

After saying this, the man smiled at Widow Zhou again, then turned around and went back into the casino, closing the only open door.

Lu Ming looked at Lu You in confusion.

"Second sister, what did he mean by what he just said?"

"What he said just now showed no respect for Aunt Zhou, nor for you, and certainly not for me." Lu You said coldly, "Lu Ming, do you want to be respected?"

"Of course!"

"Then keep knocking on the door, and use more force this time."

"How much force?"

"Use as much force as you can!"

"it is good!"

Lu Ming agreed, then raised his right hand and slammed the door panel!

Click! !

With just one palm strike, the door panel cracked.

The man who just entered was so scared that he shrunk his neck and hid under the gambling table. When he made sure it was safe and turned around, he saw Lu Ming standing at the door with a righteous look on his face.

"Is anyone there?!"

"I want to discuss business with your manager!!"

Seeing Lu Ming's foolish look, the man was completely numb.

Is there anyone here?

Didn't I just talk to you?

Also, are you here to discuss business?

It's obvious that they are here to mess things up, right?

As Lu Ming shouted, several curses suddenly rang out from the backyard of the gambling house.

"Who the hell is looking for trouble so early in the morning?"

"Someone actually came to my territory to make trouble. I think you are crazy..."

Outside the door, Lu Ming turned his head and looked in the direction of Lu You.

"Second sister, the people inside seem to have come out."

Lu You remained calm when she heard this: "No matter what, keep knocking on the door. Break it into pieces and I'll give you some sesame cakes."
