Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

In the inn room, Widow Zhou walked out from behind the bamboo screen in the corner of the room with her sleeves rolled up.

"My Lord, the water temperature is just right. You can take a bath now."

Looking at Widow Zhou's respectful look, Lu You put down the teacup in his hand.

"Aunt, in our own little courtyard, if you occasionally call me a fairy, I won't pick on you."

"But once you get out of that door, what should you call me?"

"Deer!" Widow Zhou said hurriedly and respectfully.

Lu You chuckled when he heard that, then reached out and pulled Widow Zhou, moving her to the seat next to him.

"Aunt, I am here to survive the calamity of the earthly world. My identity as an immortal cannot be revealed."

"We are walking outside, you must not call the wrong name again!"

Widow Zhou nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "I know. I will never talk nonsense outside. Aren't we just the two of us now?"

"Be careful, the walls have ears!" Lu You said with a smile, "When we go out, we must be cautious in everything."

After hearing Lu You's words, Widow Zhou nodded repeatedly, but then she spoke again with a conflicted look on her face.

"Luyo, I know what you said makes sense, but I also have something to ask of you."

"You say." Lu You asked curiously.

Widow Zhou lowered her voice and spoke softly.

"You are a fairy, but you always call me aunt and take advantage of me. I am afraid this will shorten my life."

"Why don't you change your name? I had a nickname when I was at my mother's house, Cui'er. You can just call me Zhou Cui or Xiao Cui'er from now on. Otherwise, I'll always be scared."

Little Cui'er?

Lu You frowned as he looked at Widow Zhou in front of him, but couldn't help muttering in his heart.

Is it possible that this week's widow is destined to be a maid?

How come even the nickname is so appropriate?

In fact, Lu You had discovered this problem a long time ago.

Ever since she got this system, she discovered something very special.

That is, in the income records, the negative emotions of men all start with their names.

Most of the negative emotions coming from women are from Zhou, Liu, Wang...

Only a very small number of women have direct names, such as the original body's second sister-in-law Wu Xiu Lian, or Wang Tiantian who is very close to Lu Ming and others.

This difference made Lu You curious for a long time. Later, she summed up the general rule, that is, the name marked by the system is actually the society's recognition of a person.

This alien world is a typical agricultural feudal society. In such an environment, physical labor occupies a major position.

Men with more strength naturally become the dominant forces in society, while most women are subordinate.

Therefore, men have names since childhood, and even if women like Widow Zhou have their own names, everyone...even herself, is more accepting of her own surname.

This consensus should be the source of the negative emotion income labeling.

Now Widow Zhou asked Lu You to call her by her name, which was what Lu You wanted.

After all, after such a long period of contact and experiencing so many things together, Lu You had already regarded Widow Zhou as one of his own.

And according to the current situation, Lu You will definitely keep it with him all the time and will not let it face the chaos alone to fend for itself.

Under such circumstances, Widow Zhou's original identity as a product manager was no longer valid, and she became more like her own personal assistant.

In such a relationship, it is indeed not appropriate to call the other person "Auntie" all the time.

But the name Zhou Cui is too stereotypical, and it always feels a bit weird when you call it.

"Aunt, does your name have any special meaning? I always feel it's a bit hasty."

"Have you ever thought about changing your name?"

"Change your name?" Widow Zhou shook her head slightly. "No one in my family has ever been educated. I chose this name simply because I was born in spring."

Having said this, Widow Zhou seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes were filled with desolation.

"There's nothing worth reminiscing about my mother's family. Lu You, you're a scholar, why don't you help me pick a name?"

Seeing the other person's expression, Lu You vaguely guessed that this widow's past might not have been easy.

However, Lu You didn't intend to ask about other people's sad past, so he nodded and agreed.

"Why don't you just call yourself Zhou Shuyi!"

"She is virtuous and graceful. It is definitely a good name."

Widow Zhou's eyes lit up immediately when she heard this: "Virtuous and virtuous... graceful and elegant... it's a good name, but I'm afraid I don't deserve it!"

"Not only is she graceful, she also has the aura of a phoenix, and is the mother of the world!" Lu You said jokingly, holding Widow Zhou's arm.

This made Widow Zhou feel so ashamed: "Don't dare to say anything nonsense. The title of Mother of the Country refers to the Queen. How can a widow like me have such a blessing?"

"Why not?" Lu You said with a smile, "Don't forget, I am an immortal. When you become my disciple, you will naturally become an immortal, too. Why can't you be the mother of the country?"

"Stop talking!"

Widow Zhou said with a red face as she patted Lu You's arm.

"I don't dare to have these beautiful dreams, but I do like this name. From now on, I will be called Zhou Shuyi!"

Lu You was extremely happy to hear that Widow Zhou approved of the name he had given.

"The village is gone now, and we are not related. Since you feel it is awkward for me to call you aunt, then we should address each other as equals from now on."

"You are a few years older than me, so I will call you Sister Shuyi from now on!"

"It's settled now, don't regret it!"

As he spoke, Lu You did not give Widow Zhou any chance to refuse. He stood up, walked behind the bamboo screen, and began to take off his blood-stained clothes.

"Oh, Sister Shuyi, the world is in chaos right now. When we go out, we need to be cautious and strengthen ourselves."

"Even though you are running for your life now, you must not neglect your training in Zuojia Quan. I will take a shower, and you can stand in the room to strengthen your muscles and bones."

After hearing Lu You's words, Widow Zhou, who was still smiling, suddenly fell into a frown. Then she reluctantly walked to the open space next to her and began to squat and stand in a posture.

"Already standing!"

[Negative emotions from Zhou Shuyi +60, +60, +60...]

Hearing the system prompt sound, Lu You was slightly stunned.

Has this been changed?

Is it so immediate?

Through the gap in the bamboo screen, Lu You saw Widow Zhou standing there with a look of grievance on her face, and he felt relieved.

Sure enough, happiness is also conserved.

Happiness doesn't disappear, it just moves to your face.

After taking off all his clothes, Lu You gently sat in the bathtub filled with warm water.

The comfortable feeling permeated every pore of Luyou, making him feel relaxed all over and wanting to stop time at this moment forever.

But just a moment later, Lu You opened his eyes again and began to wipe his body carefully.

Although taking a bath is fun, it depends on the time.

In this situation, accidents can happen at any time, so it is safer to wash it quickly.

There was so much blood on Lu You's body that when she finished washing, the bucket of water had changed color.

And when she changed her clothes and walked out from behind the bamboo screen, Widow Zhou looked at Lu You in a daze.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lu You looked at Widow Zhou and asked hesitantly, "Is there something you didn't clean?"

"no no……"

Widow Zhou looked Lu You up and down and replied.

"It's pretty clean, but looking at you now, I always feel like something is different..."
