Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

In the small courtyard, under the persimmon tree.

At this time, Widow Zhou was heartbroken.

If time could go back, Widow Zhou only wanted to go back to the day when she and Lu You drove into the city together.

That day, Widow Zhou felt sorry for Lu You and his sister, so she gave them two eggs.

Now that I think about it, I would have been better off shaking the yolks off the two eggs and feeding them to the dog.

Since that day of kindness, the relationship between him and the three siblings of the Lu family has become closer.

It was not until Lu You hired her with a generous monthly salary that Widow Zhou thought about following Lu You to seek a future, considering that Lu You and her two siblings had been educated since childhood, were sensible and smart.

But now, Fengmingyuan was burned down and Lang Hongyun was killed.

They're going to jailbreak right now!

What kind of future am I pursuing?

This is clearly a wrong move!

The key point is, who would have thought that the three siblings who were submissive and kind to others in the village were actually strong men who dared to kill people?

Over the years, Widow Zhou has endured countless sorrows and grievances.

But this was the first time he felt that the world treated him so unfairly.

"Where else can I go?"

Widow Zhou looked at Lu You with resentment in her eyes and said.

"A few days ago, the four of us went to the streets to sell pancakes. I'm afraid everyone in Qingshi Town has memorized our appearances."

"Now that Lu Ming has been arrested, you two siblings should go and break out of the prison."

"Even if I leave tomorrow and tell others that I don't know these things, do you think anyone will believe me?"

Seeing the pitiful look in Widow Zhou's eyes, Lu You quickly took out a handful of silver.

"Aunt, then you should run away. Take all the silver. Although it is not much, it is enough for you to leave Jianhe County..."

"But what happens after we leave?" Widow Zhou asked in a low voice.

Lu You was stunned: "Leaving Jianhe County, the sea is wide for fish to jump, the sky is high for birds to fly, there is always a place to go."

Hearing Lu You's words, Widow Zhou smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"Luyo, I am not you."

"I have never been to school, nor have I practiced martial arts, nor do I have any panacea or cure-all."

"Don't even mention giving me thirty taels of silver. Even if you give me three hundred taels, it will be useless."

"To have power without money is foolishness, to have money without power is sin."

"I am escaping with so much silver, it would be good if I was robbed. I am afraid that others will miss me and I won't be able to protect myself."

"So you should take the silver."

Lu You stared at Widow Zhou in a daze, and she suddenly realized that she seemed to have thought everything was too simple.

Even when she was talking about prison break with Lu Yi just now, she didn't have any psychological burden.

What happened to the prison break?

The worst that can happen is that we can just move to another place and start over.

Anyway, I have hands and feet, so I won’t starve to death no matter what I do.

But only now did she realize that this was only for herself.

I am a time traveler in the 21st century. The modern transportation network allows people to easily travel to cities thousands of kilometers away to study and work.

At that time, people were completely free both physically and mentally, and would never be trapped in one place.

But this is not the case in this strange world, whether it is the Widow Zhou in front of him or his original body.

The farthest place they have ever been to may be Qingshi Town.

Places further away represent the unknown and fear.

Lu You was particularly touched by Widow Zhou's words, "To have money but no power is a sin."

She has the means to make money, but isn't it because she has no backing that people are targeting her?

It’s really more fun to read novels about time travel. The protagonists in the novels can attract crowds of people by doing anything.

Those wealthy and powerful families seemed to have all been educated in the core socialist values.

Although everyone was jealous, they were also ruthlessly competing fairly.

It's not like now, where I am forced to use all kinds of dirty means.

After a little thought, Lu You stuffed the silver into Widow Zhou's hand.

"Aunt, today's incident happened suddenly. It was not my intention to involve you."

"But the situation is now settled. I'm sure you have your own thoughts. Why don't you talk to me about it?"

"No matter what choice you make, I will do my best to help you get out of it."

After hearing Lu You's words, Widow Zhou remained silent. She pondered for a long time before she made up her mind and actually returned the silver in her hand to Lu You.

"I don't want anything, just one thing."

"You say." Lu You asked solemnly.

"I will keep the prison break a secret for you, and I can even do some things to support you."

"But there is one thing. When you and your brother escape, you must take me with you."

Looking into Lu You's eyes, Widow Zhou said seriously.

"I know my own worth, and I can see that you and your brother are extraordinary."

"Since there is no place for me to live in Jianhe County, I can only follow you."

"I don't ask you to be nice to me. As long as you give me a sip of broth when you have meat to eat, I will be satisfied."

"If you think I'm a burden, that's easy. After I leave Jianhe County, as long as I find a way to make a living, you can just leave me behind. I will never bother you."

"That's all I ask, okay?"

Hearing these words, Lu You reached out and grabbed Widow Zhou's hand.

"Aunt, you can't just drink the broth, you have to eat the meat too!"

Looking at Lu You, Widow Zhou was slightly stunned, then she grinned.

But before she could say anything, a series of shouts were heard from outside the courtyard.

"The one in front! Hurry up!!"

bang bang bang...

There was a rapid knock on the door and someone outside shouted loudly.

"Open the door! Otherwise we will break it down!"

"It's someone from the government office." Lu Yi whispered, "What should we do?"

Lu You let go of Widow Zhou's hand and raised his head slightly: "Aunt, go open the door."

Widow Zhou didn't say anything when she heard this, but just walked quickly towards the door, while Lu You took out a powerful pill and stuffed it into Lu Yi's hand.

Lu Yi was just stunned for a moment, but then he saw Lu You looking at Widow Zhou's back with a serious gaze, and then he understood what Lu You was thinking.

From beginning to end, Widow Zhou had no idea that the two of them had a way to disguise themselves and did not reveal their true identities.

Lu You asked Widow Zhou to open the door at this time to see what decision the other party would make.

If you help to conceal it, then everything will be fine.

But if she exposed Lu You and the other two, Lu You would also have room for revenge.

After all, when they were in Fengming Courtyard, the constables, guests, and servants totaled more than a hundred people, and they all saw that the murderer was a soldier wearing a fat red coat.

Even if they wanted to convict the two of them, it would not be easy.

Even if the other party was unreasonable and insisted on taking him and his second sister away by force, with the pills in their hands, they would have a chance to break out.

With just a few simple words and actions, my second sister had so many calculations and back-ups.

It can be seen that he is indeed very cunning!

Lu Yi was sighing in his heart, but a trace of confusion flashed in the eyes of Lu You next to him.

What's going on with this kid?

Everything was fine just now, why is the system reminding him that he has negative emotions towards himself again?

What kind of trick is this?
