Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

Shouting all the way, Lu You soon arrived at a valley.

"Second sister! Over here!!"

Following the sound, Lu You walked around a patch of dense bushes and finally saw Lu Ming's figure.

And in front of Lu Ming, there was actually a person lying.

"What happened? Are you hurt anywhere?"

When they got closer, Lu You pulled Lu Ming aside and looked at him carefully.

"I'm fine, second sister!"

Lu Ming opened his arms and gestured to Lu You.

Seeing that Lu Ming was fine, Lu You finally let go of his worries and turned to look at the person lying on the ground.

The man's hands and feet were tied with bandages, a dagger was inserted into his waist, and there was a quiver hanging on his waist. There was also a curved bow scattered on the ground not far away.

Judging from his attire, he should be a hunter.

However, this person's eyes were closed at this time, and it seemed that he had fainted.

"What's going on with this guy?"

Lu You squatted on the ground and looked at the hunter and asked.

Lu Ming came closer and scratched his head in confusion.

"I don't know. I was carrying firewood and walking home. The grass and trees here were so dense that I couldn't see clearly where I was stepping. I almost stepped on him. I was so scared that I dropped all the firewood!"

Lu You turned his head and looked at the scattered firewood beside him, thinking that this should be the loud shout he heard just now!

But at the same time, a doubt arose in Lu You's mind.

This is the northern hillside of Heyuan Village, very close to the village. Even though there are some mountain products such as pheasants and rabbits, they are not enough for the villagers of Heyuan Village to catch.

As for large wild animals, such as wild boars and wolves, they are generally found in deep mountains far away from villages.

How did the hunter appear here?

Compared to Lu You's confusion, Lu Ming next to him was much simpler.

"Second sister, this person is still breathing, but he can't be woken up at all. I'm afraid he has fainted."

"How about I carry him back and ask someone to take a look at him?"

As he spoke, Lu Ming was about to help the hunter up.

But as soon as he stretched out his hand, Lu You hit him directly on the back of his hand.

"What for? What if he's a bad guy?"

Lu You is a child who grew up in the social melting pot of the 21st century. She didn't even dare to help a harmless old lady who fell on the side of the road.

Not to mention the hunter in front of him who is armed with weapons and knives!

As she finished speaking, the system's voice suddenly rang out.

[Negative emotions from Hu Laojiu +5, +3, +2...]

Ok?

Lu You was so scared that he quickly stood up and looked around.

The range within which my system can sense malicious intent is only ten meters.

The view here is wide. Although the grass is lush, it is only knee-high. If you look carefully, you can see that no one can be hidden.

Lu You looked around and made sure that there was no one around before he set his gaze on the unconscious hunter again.

There is no one around, so the malicious intention of Hu Laojiu can only be directed at this hunter.

This guy is pretending to be dizzy!!

After figuring out the whole thing, Lu You was horrified.

I just stopped Lu Ming from carrying the person back to the village, and immediately felt negative emotions afterwards.

In this case, this person's purpose is probably to pretend to be injured in order to sneak into Heyuan Village, right?

Lu You was thinking about how to get out of this situation, but Lu Ming next to him was rubbing the back of his hand with a look of grievance.

"Second sister, what are you doing?"

"What am I doing?" Lu You kicked Lu Ming's thigh in annoyance. "What are you doing? You don't even know why the other person fainted, and you're reaching out to help him!"

"Look at this man. He has no wounds on his body. He fainted here for no reason."

"What if it's plague? You'll take him back and bury him with the whole village?"

[Negative emotions from Hu Laojiu +20, +20, +18...]

Following Lu You's words, the system prompt sounded again.

Lu Ming, who was standing by, was also frightened by Lu You's words and quickly took a few steps back.

A few years ago, there was a flood in the neighboring Xijiang Prefecture, killing many people. Because it was the middle of summer, the bodies that could not be dealt with in time rotted and caused an epidemic.

That time the plague swept through the five counties of Xijiang Prefecture and more than 70,000 people died before it was stopped. It was truly terrifying.

With some fear in his eyes, Lu Ming looked at the hunter on the ground, turned around and ran to the side, picked up some dry firewood and began to surround the hunter.

"What are you doing?"

Lu You looked at his older brother in a daze.

Lu Ming waved his hand and told Lu You to step back quickly.

"Second sister, please stay away!"

"I've heard that if you burn the body of a person with the plague, the plague will be burned away."

"The firewood I collected is all dried from dead trees, so it will catch fire as soon as it touches the fire..."

Having said that, Lu Ming looked at Lu You with some confusion.

"Second sister, do you have a flint?"

"Why would I bring that thing up the mountain?"

Lu You shook his head and then squatted down and reached out to pull out the dagger from the hunter's waist.

Now that we know that Hu Laojiu is pretending to be unconscious, we must first disarm him.

Otherwise, if he really turns against me, both I and Lu Ming would be in real danger.

[Negative emotions from Hu Laojiu +30, +30, +30...]

Hearing the prompt sound coming from his mind, Lu You was slightly stunned, then he held the dagger directly against the hunter's neck.

[Negative emotions from Hu Laojiu +50, +50, +50...]

Lu Ming, who was standing by, was also shocked by his second sister's actions.

"Second sister, what are you doing?"

"I'm afraid he'll come back to life." Lu You said calmly, "Hurry up and take off the quiver from his body. It's all valuable stuff. It would be a shame to burn it all together."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming obediently did as he was told and took off the quiver and put it aside.

Listening to the constant reminders in his mind, Lu You sneered in his heart.

Pack!

I wonder how long you can keep pretending!

"Luming, hunters usually carry flints with them. Look inside his pockets and if you have any, use it. This will save you the trouble of drilling wood to make fire."

And at this moment, Hu Laojiu, who had kept his eyes closed, finally let out a weak groan.

"water……"

Seeing Hu Laojiu talking, Lu Ming next to him was stunned at first, and then hurriedly took the water bag from the hunter's waist.

"Are you not dead yet?"

As he spoke, Lu Ming opened the water bag and stuffed it into Hu Laojiu's mouth, and Hu Laojiu cooperated very well and began to drink it in big gulps.

After taking a few gulps of water, Lu Ming wanted to take the water bag away, but Lu You pushed it back again.

"Look how weak he is. He's obviously been thirsty for a long time. He needs to drink more water!"

Gulu gulu gulu...

Under Lu You's control, the remaining half of the water in the water bag was poured into Hu Laojiu's mouth.

By the end of the drink, Hu Laojiu was almost choking and rolled his eyes, but the water bag was held tightly in Lu You's mouth, and Hu Laojiu couldn't say a word of no.

After forcing himself to drink up all the water in the water bag, Hu Laojiu looked at Lu You and the others weakly.

"Did you save me?"

"You guys are really kind people!"
