Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

Qingshi Town was in an uproar at this time.

In order to save Lu Ming, Lu You released all the prisoners in the county jail, including seven death row prisoners.

In order to bring these prisoners to justice, the three squads of detectives have been searching house to house like crazy.

Lu You, the instigator, was lying under a persimmon tree, eating dried dates comfortably.

"These dried dates are good, Auntie. If you have time, go buy some more."

Lu You said casually while looking at the dried dates in his hand.

Widow Zhou did not dare to delay upon hearing this. She stood up and was about to walk out the door, but was stopped by Lu You.

"Auntie! I'm not asking you to go now. It's dangerous outside with the police catching people everywhere."

"We still have a lot of dried dates. It won't be too late to buy some after the town settles down in a couple of days."

Widow Zhou looked at Lu You and his sister with complicated eyes. She wanted to say something but finally sat back down.

Are you afraid of danger?

The younger brother was usually well-behaved and obedient, but he went out in the middle of the night and killed the eldest son of the county magistrate.

The elder sister was even more ruthless. She directly attacked the Lang Mansion and the county government, killing countless people and turning the entire Qingshi Town upside down.

Now you complain that it’s too messy outside?

Isn't this nonsense?

Hearing the system prompt coming from his mind, Lu You looked at Widow Zhou in confusion.

"Aunt, I see you look a little unhappy, are you worried about something?"

Widow Zhou was slightly startled when she heard this, fearing that Fairy Lu would see what she was thinking.

"It's okay... I'm just thinking about the few acres of land at home."

"Luyou, it's almost time to harvest the rice in the fields."

"I was thinking, since the city is in chaos these days and you don't plan to sell pancakes, why don't I go back to the village first and come back after I finish my work in the fields in a few days."

After hearing what Widow Zhou said, Lu You thought about it carefully and then shook his head slightly.

"I want you to leave, but you can't."

"Look, the city is now catching escaped prisoners, and all four city gates are closed to people entering but not leaving."

"Besides, Lang Zhengping first lost his beloved son, and then such a big incident happened in the county government. He must have been so angry that he almost went crazy."

"If you leave the city at this time, you might be captured by his men and tortured."

"I have seen the torture instruments in the county jail. They are not something a human can endure. You won't be able to even die when that happens."

[Negative emotions from Widow Zhou +100, +100, +100...]

Widow Zhou looked at Lu You in panic: "Why did he arrest me? I didn't do these things..."

"We did it." Lu You said with a smile, "Among the prisoners, only Lu Ming disappeared. Lang Zhengping is not stupid and must have guessed that it was related to a warrior like me."

"It's just that Guan Shanyue is protecting me. He doesn't dare to touch me without evidence."

"But if you go out, he will definitely attack you and dig evidence out of you."

"You won't be able to run away then!"

After hearing Lu You's words, Widow Zhou felt an endless amount of grievances in her heart that she couldn't express in words. As she thought about it, she choked up and started to cry.

"Lu, I'm just a woman, I just want to make a few more taels of silver..."

Before Widow Zhou could finish her words, Lu You grabbed her hand.

"Aunt, you have to look at it more positively."

"To become an immortal, you must go through many hardships and tribulations. These are all tests from heaven!"

"If you are going to back down even with such a small difficulty, how can you become a disciple of the Immortal Family in the future?"

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

Widow Zhou looked at Lu You with tears in her eyes: "Are you serious? Can a mortal like me become a disciple of an immortal?"

"It's true!"

Lu You flipped his hand and produced a fragrant and crispy pancake.

"Look at this pancake. It was made by me, a beautiful and ordinary disciple of the immortal."

"I am the son of an immortal. If you pass the test in the future, I will accept you as my own."

"Aren't you the disciple of the immortal?"

"How can it not be considered as joining the immortal sect?"

Widow Zhou took the pancake from Lu You's hand carefully with trembling hands.

"I, a commoner named Zhou, am willing to go through fire and water for the Immortal Sect, even if I die!"

Lu You was delighted when he heard this: "You have such wisdom, it's only a matter of time before you can become an immortal!"

Lu You was just getting excited when he heard a light cough coming from the door.

When they turned around, they saw a middle-aged man in a green Confucian robe standing outside the gate, looking at the courtyard with a serious face.

"Uncle Zhao!"

Seeing the person coming, Lu You was slightly stunned and then quickly stood up to greet him, while Lu Yi followed closely behind, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.

The person who came was none other than Zhao Wenbo who was heading to Qingzhou City to take part in the Autumn Examination!

"Uncle Zhao, when did you come back?"

"We should have been the ones to see you, why did you come here in person?"

Lu You said respectfully as he welcomed Zhao Wenbo into the courtyard.

Widow Zhou on the side hurriedly poured Zhao Wenbo some cold tea and then stepped aside.

Sitting on a chair next to the wooden table, Zhao Wenbo reached out and picked up the book on the table.

"Salt and Iron Theory."

"The examination of asking questions covers a wide range of topics. I also have "The Book of Lord Shang", "Lun Heng", "Bo Wu Zhi" and "Qian Fu Lun"."

"Go get them some other day and read more. They'll all be useful."

Zhao Wenbo put the book down and spoke softly to Lu Yi.

Lu Yi bowed and said, "Thank you, Uncle Zhao."

"Let's not talk about that." Zhao Wenbo turned to look at Lu You: "I came here because I have some questions to ask."

Lu You was slightly stunned when he heard this. In his original memory, Zhao Wenbo had always been approachable and rarely so serious.

On the side, Widow Zhou tactfully stepped back, turned around and walked out of the door, closing the door behind her.

"Uncle Zhao, there is no one else in this yard." Lu You reminded softly.

Zhao Wenbo asked directly without any hesitation.

"I'm here for only one thing. Where is Lu Ming now?"

Hearing what Zhao Wenbo said, Lu Yi looked up at Lu You, only to see that Lu You had already bent over and approached Zhao Wenbo.

"Uncle Zhao, Lu Ming was arrested and taken to the county jail. We wanted to ask Mr. Guan to plead for him."

"But before the banquet was over, the county jail was inexplicably robbed."

"All the prisoners in the county government office have escaped, and the constables are arresting people everywhere. We don't know where Lu Ming has gone."

Zhao Wenbo looked at Lu You indifferently, then suddenly spoke in a deep voice.

"Gentleman, there is nothing to hide!!"

As Zhao Wenbo finished speaking, Lu You felt a buzzing in his head, and subconsciously wanted to tell Zhao Wenbo where Lu Ming was.

But at this moment, the undigested medicinal power in Lu You's body rushed along his spine to the back of his head, instantly restoring Lu You's mind to clarity.

Lu You stared at Zhao Wenbo blankly.

"Uncle Zhao, you scared me!"
