Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

Even though he had long known that Lu Yi was intelligent, when Lu You heard these analyses, he still couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Talking to smart people is so easy and you can understand them instantly.

"When you go buy food, tell Uncle Zhao and the others so they can prepare it."

"By the way, remember to buy more salt and then go home and wait for me. Don't run around outside."

Lu You instructed the two of them, then contacted the system to exchange five powerful pills and stuffed them into Lu Yi's hands.

"Take this medicine. Take it in advance if you encounter danger. It is important to save your life."

Lu Yi took the pill in his hand, as if he remembered something, and looked up at Lu You.

"Second sister, do you want to go back to the village?"

"Yes." Lu You nodded and said, "I will go to the west gate to find a donkey cart and go back to pick up my uncle and aunt."

"I'll go with you!" Lu Yi said.

"No!" Lu You refused directly, "I came back to the village just to pick someone up. I don't need any help with anything."

"You stay in town and prepare food for your escape. We are a big family here, so we can't be careless about this!"

After hearing this, Lu Yi thought for a moment and then nodded slightly.

"Don't worry, I will get it done."

Lu You nodded slightly when he heard that, then turned around and ran outside.

Just as she walked out of the door, Lu Yi's voice sounded again from behind.

"Second sister, don't forget your eldest sister!"

Upon hearing this, Lu You turned around and agreed, but he felt dazed in his heart.

As for the elder sister Lu Yao, Lu You had only met her once after he came here, and almost all of his memories of her came from the original body.

Lu You woke up in her arms that day, but because Lu Yao had only a two-year-old son and could not be left alone, she waited until Lu Dejin was buried and hurried back to her husband's home in Songpo Village.

For so many days, Lu You had been facing Lu Ming and Lu Yi, and the three of them rarely mentioned this married elder sister when they chatted.

To be honest, if Lu Yi hadn't reminded her just now, Lu You would not have even remembered that he had an older sister!

It’s not a big problem. Songpo Village is not far from Heyuan Village. It’s less than ten miles away along the mountain road, so it won’t take much time.

While searching through his original body's memories and making plans, Lu You had already run all the way to the west city gate.

Outside the West City Gate, there were many donkey carts parked on the roadside, waiting to be hired.

Lu You didn't even look for it, he just raised his hand and took out some silver coins.

"Five cents of silver, find a car and go with me to Heyuan Village to pick up someone, is there anyone willing?"

Hearing this shout, the lazy drivers suddenly perked up and jumped off their bikes and rushed to Lu You.

"I'm leaving!"

"Girl, hire my car, mine is new!"

"Your car just pulled cow dung, can you take someone in it? Girl, you should take my car..."

Seven or eight rickshaw drivers surrounded Lu You, trying their best to win this business.

It’s not that they are so enthusiastic, it’s just that Lu You gave too much.

On weekdays, these donkey carts are mostly used to help freight stations or passing merchants to pull things, and they can only earn less than a few dozen coins a day, and even make no money when there is little work.

Now Lu You came up and offered five cents of silver for the fare. Who wouldn't be tempted?

But when facing several car owners, Lu You took a big step back.

"If you want to earn these five cents, you must walk fast."

"This trip not only requires us to go to Heyuan Village, but we also need to go to Songpo Village. We must also rush back to the town before curfew today."

Upon hearing this, several car owners were suddenly speechless.

Heyuan Village is nearly thirty miles away from Qingshi Town, half of which is official road and the other half is mountain road.

At the normal speed of the donkey cart, even if it arrives at the destination without delay to pick up the person and leave, the round trip will take at least three or four hours, and it may not return until dark.

If we take into account the twenty-plus miles of detour to Songpo Village and back, the donkey cart would have to drive very fast the entire way in order to get back before curfew.

Although he made some money after running for dozens of miles on the mountain roads, this little donkey is not as strong as a horse. He definitely can't stand running such a long distance!

Although this trip can earn a lot of money, if the donkey is really tired, it will cut off the family's income.

Everyone can still figure out this account.

Lu You was not stupid either, so he naturally understood what everyone was thinking. He immediately reached out and took out a few more pieces of silver.

"I only have this little over two ounces of silver here. Whoever takes this trip will get all of it!"

In fact, there are still more than ten taels of silver in Lu You's space. Not to mention compensating the donkey, she can even afford to buy an entire donkey cart.

But now Lu You doesn't dare to spend money too lavishly. After all, once he brings his uncle and aunt together, the family expenses will definitely not be low.

Especially in times of war and other situations where prices are rising, the role of silver will be infinitely magnified!

"I go!"

A driver stepped forward and said.

"At worst, I can finish this trip and take a half-month break..."

As the man spoke, he reached out to grab the silver in Lu You's hand, but at this moment, a puzzled shout came from the city gate.

"Luyo? Why are you here?"

Lu You subconsciously looked back and saw that the person who spoke was Uncle Li from the same village.

"Uncle Li? Are you going home?" Seeing Uncle Li driving the donkey cart, Lu You hurried forward and asked.

"Back!" Uncle Li nodded.

Lu You jumped onto Uncle Li's car in just three or two steps without even thinking.

"Uncle Li, we have to hurry up, the sooner the better, I'll give you money!"

Uncle Li reached out and pushed Lu You's hand back: "What's the matter with money? Sit tight! Go!"

As Uncle Li swung the whip, the little donkey felt the pain and ran away along the official road happily, leaving only a few coachmen at the city gate standing there in a daze.

"Isn't this old Li too unrefined?"

"I've already talked to that girl, how can he pry her out?"

Watching the money he had earned disappear just like that, the coachman said indignantly.

Someone nearby chuckled when he heard this: "Come on, didn't you see that the girl knew Old Li? This is not your money!"

"I don't care. Anyway, he'll be here tomorrow and I'll have to talk to him about it. He has to give me some of the money."

As the coachman was speaking, more than a dozen people walked out of the city gate, led by Zheng Xiezi.

"Old man! Where did that little bitch hire a car to go?"

The driver looked back and saw Zheng Xiezi, their faces changed and then they hurriedly walked forward with smiles on their faces.

"Master Zheng, that little girl said she was going to Heyuan Village, and she seemed quite anxious."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Xiezi casually pointed at three drivers and said, "You three drive the carts and catch up with the one in front."

The driver was unhappy when he heard this, but he didn't dare to show it on his face.

"It's my honor that Mr. Zheng uses my car."

"In this case, we will only charge half of the fare. For this thirty-mile round trip, we will charge eight cents per person..."

Snapped! !

Before the driver could finish his words, Zheng Xiezi raised his hand and slapped him in the face.

"How dare you ask me for money?"

"If you lose me today, I'll kill you and make dumplings for you!"
