Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

In the forest, Lu You held a knife in his right hand and a five-spice pancake in his left hand, chewing it in big mouthfuls.

Although Lu You still had plenty of energy thanks to the powerful pill, for some reason he still felt extremely hungry and tired.

This hunger and fatigue comes from mental exhaustion.

If I had to describe it...

It's like those patients living in hospital wards. Although doctors can mix all the nutrients needed by the human body and inject them intravenously, patients still need to eat and relax.

In this mountain, Lu You had been walking blindly for more than two hours.

Lu You split the grass and trees in front of him with great force. He could no longer hold back the frustration in his heart and suddenly shouted!

"what!!!"

After the hoarse voice spread in the forest, it was quickly eliminated by the rustling sound of leaves shaking in the mountain wind.

After running for more than an hour, Lu You was completely lost in the mountains.

This otherworldly forest is by no means the mountain peaks that are tourist attractions in the 21st century. There are no beautiful and magnificent scenery here, only endless vines, weeds and dead leaves.

In his previous life, Lu You had gone mountain climbing with his college roommates, and they took the so-called "wild roads".

The narrow path hidden among the grass and trees had left a very deep impression on her.

With every step you take, knee-high grass sweeps across your thighs, giving you an exciting feeling of groping your way forward.

Her roommates also agreed that compared to the stairs that most people take, the difficult path they took was the real mountain climbing.

But thinking about that path now, Lu You simply feels that it was a "happy elementary school student outing"!

What Lu You was looking at now was a real deep mountain forest, with weeds growing all around him. In some dense places, the grass and trees were even taller than Lu You. He had to chop his way through with a long knife almost every step he took.

Perhaps it was because it was too quiet, or perhaps it was because the water vapor from the plants under the scorching sun made my body sticky and tight.

Walking here for a long time will make people feel more and more anxious, depressed and terrified, fearing that some wild beasts or wolves will suddenly jump out from the surroundings.

Lu You also thought about returning the same way she came, but she had run too far, and she didn't remember the direction carefully while escaping.

The Zuojia Fist moves she copied did not contain any method of tracking and identifying traces like a hunter, so she could only accept her fate and grope forward aimlessly.

To Lu You, these two hours seemed to be extended indefinitely.

At this moment she shouted loudly, she was emotionally broken, and what she hoped more was to hear some response, even if it was just a response from the Jin soldiers.

At this moment, Lu You felt that if he fought against those Jin soldiers now, even if he was killed, it would be a relief from this kind of oppression.

But to her disappointment, there was no response.

All she could hear was the endless rustling of the trees in the mountain wind, like the sound of ocean waves.

"System! Say something!"

Lu You grumbled in grievance.

But what appeared before her eyes was only the light blue curtain.

"There's not even a system assistant! Ugh! Rubbish!!"

Lu You scolded unhappily, then put away the system panel again and began her mission of clearing the way.

Go up the mountain!

You must first see the surrounding terrain clearly!

Having made up his mind, Lu You continued to wave the long sword in his hand to clear the way!

Half an hour later, Lu You finally climbed up a ridge.

Although there are still many shrubs on the ridge, there are no longer layers of tree canopies blocking the sky like below. Lu You finally let out the breath that he had been holding in his heart.

"At least it's 5 p.m."

Looking at the sun hanging slantingly in the sky, Lu You murmured, and his heart became anxious.

I left the city at the beginning of the morning, and it has been almost a day now.

During the time in the mountains, Lu You also carefully analyzed the origins of the Jin soldiers.

The thirty-odd riders were obviously here to hunt down the postmen. They were most likely scouts sent by the Jin soldiers to prevent the Wu State from delivering battle reports.

But since they appeared in Jianhe County, the main force could not be too far away.

When the postman appeared, he shouted that ten counties in Xijiang Prefecture had fallen, and the Jin army's attack must be from west to east.

That is to say, when the postman left with the battle report, the ten counties on the western front of Xijiang Prefecture had already been occupied by the Jin soldiers, but how many counties were there in Xijiang Prefecture?

Lu You carefully sorted out the original body's memories, but did not find any information. It seemed that the original body was not interested in these things, so he did not deliberately try to understand them.

But she knew that Qingzhou Prefecture had thirty-six counties, and she thought that Xijiang Prefecture should be not much different.

However, these counties are not arranged in a straight line. If it is assumed that the Jin soldiers rushed forward just to catch Qingzhou off guard, they would definitely pass through Xijiang Prefecture and would not deploy their troops to the north and south on a large scale.

If this is true, then the straight-line distance between them and Jianhe County is probably only three or four counties at most.

If you take the official road, it would be at most three or four hundred miles!

If the cavalry ran at full speed at this distance, they would reach Qingshi Town in a day or two.

And I have already wasted half a day!

The Jin soldiers' scouts had chased the postmen to a place more than ten miles west of Qingshi Town. This proved that the official road had been blocked by the Jin soldiers and no one could enter Qingshi Town from the west.

Zheng Xiezi and others are all dead. Currently, only myself and Uncle Li know this news, and it is very likely that I am the only one left.

"We must take this message back, otherwise everyone will die!"

"I don't have much time left!"

Lu You murmured, and then was stunned.

I seem to have heard the last sentence when I was watching football in my previous life!

Pooh!

What time is it, and you are still thinking about those irritating things?

The most important thing now is to find the way!

Lu You spat, then began to carefully observe the environment below, and then fixed his gaze on the back of a low hill opposite.

There was black smoke rising there!

After confirming the drifting smoke again and again, Lu You was overjoyed. Then he roughly looked in the direction and rushed down the mountain with a knife in hand.

No matter whether it is a hunter or a Jin soldier, as long as someone makes a fire, there is hope of escaping.

For Lu You at this moment, this was like a beacon guiding her out of the sea of ​​suffering!

Once people have goals and hopes, all the irritability and depression will disappear, and they will feel like they have endless energy.

This time, Lu You moved very quickly through the mountains and forests.

In just half an hour, Lu You had climbed to the top of the mountain he had just been looking at.

But just after climbing over the ridge, Lu You was startled by the scene below.

How can this be called a hunter making a fire?

At the foot of the mountain on the back, there is a small mountain village with dozens of houses.

The source of the black smoke was several thatched huts that were on fire!

At this time, Lu You was standing on the top of the mountain, several miles away from the foot of the mountain. In addition, due to the rising smoke, he could not see the situation in the village at all.

But for some reason, an idea suddenly emerged in Lu You's mind.

Golden soldiers!!
