Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

War bow?

Lu You looked at the longbow in a daze, and felt that even his heartbeat slowed down a beat.

"Second sister, I guess you recognized the man's identity when you saw this bow, right?"

Stroking the longbow, Lu Yi said proudly, his eyes full of admiration for Lu You.

"Uh...that's right!"

"It's exactly as you guessed!!"

Lu You sat up straight and looked at Lu Yi with a look of relief in his eyes.

"Go on, what is the difference between this war bow and the earth bow?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yi picked up the longbow, placed his right hand directly on the bowstring and began to exert force.

But even though his face turned red from holding it in, the bowstring was only pulled into a very small arc.

"call!!"

Letting go of the bow, Lu Yi let out a long sigh.

"The biggest difference between this war bow and the earth bow is the power, and the reason for the difference in power is the material."

"The materials of earthen bows are mostly bamboo and wood stacked together, tied and bent, and the bowstrings are mostly tough hemp ropes."

"And the bow of this war bow is made of black wood, and the bowstring is made of animal tendons!"

"You can't find this kind of thing at the market!"

At this point, Lu Yi frowned and his tone became much more serious.

"Second sister, that man is probably not just a simple bandit, but a deserter who ran away from the battlefield after being defeated!"

Hearing this, Lu You's heart suddenly tightened.

Ever since kicking Hu Laojiu into the Qingshui River, Lu You has been in a drowsy state.

It was an instinctive reverence for life and disgust for the kick he had given.

Perhaps Hu Laojiu was familiar with the water and went ashore where the water flow was gentle downstream.

Or maybe he was swept to the bottom of the river and became a cold corpse.

In short, after that kick, Hu Laojiu was like "Schrödinger's cat", in a superposition state of both life and death.

Lu You's self-definition also began to fluctuate between the two extremes of "brave and clever" and "murderer".

It was not until Lu Yi's words at this moment that finally pulled Lu You out of the chaos and restored his former clarity!

"deserter……"

Lu You repeated Lu Yi's words somewhat mechanically, but his mind seemed to explode with a large amount of information pouring out.

In the 21st century, she was obsessed with various time-travel novels, and she had fantasized about what kind of life she would live if she really traveled through time one day.

For this purpose, Lu You also joined a chat group called 'Crossing Reserve'!

Those who joined that group chat were all bookworms who liked time-travel stories. They shared books and discussed the stories together.

As long as the topic is about time travel, they can talk about anything.

The one that left the deepest impression on Lu You was a discussion in the group on the relationship between the probability of survival of a time traveler and the environment in which he lives.

In that discussion, after discarding the objective conditions of super plug-ins such as the system, everyone gradually came to a unified conclusion.

As a time traveler, the easiest scene to survive is the palace fighting in the Northern Territory!

As long as you don't fight or compete for attention, it is very easy to make a living.

The most likely environment for death is an extremely severe natural disaster, or...

War disaster!!

Needless to say, the great disasters of heaven and earth are similar to severe droughts that leave no grass growing for thousands of miles.

Or maybe it was a strong wind, an earthquake, or a flood...

These are absolutely impossible to reverse with the power of one person. Even if one has a golden finger that can defy fate, he can only struggle to survive in the disaster.

As for this military disaster, it is war!

A time traveler is still a human being. No matter how intelligent and talented he is, and how much modern technology he has mastered, he is still a mortal with flesh and blood.

If you really get stabbed like that, you will bleed to death!

The same person, if he traveled back to the heyday of the Tang Dynasty and became a plagiarist, might be able to create a new world for himself.

But if I traveled back to the Warring States Period, I would probably not survive for a month and would become a corpse.

The ancients might not have had the technology and knowledge that modern people have, but when it came to killing people, they were definitely much cleaner and more efficient than the office workers in modern metropolises.

As he sorted out the memories in his mind, Lu You's expression became more solemn.

She traveled through time and space, lost her father and owed money, which was already a very adverse start.

But with this crappy system, I can have enough food and drink and follow the farming path.

Now that such a deserter has appeared for no apparent reason, it is definitely not a good sign.

No matter which dynasty, fleeing from a battle or being cowardly is a crime punishable by death.

Once you become a deserter, you will not be able to reveal your true identity to others, let alone sneak back to your hometown to live.

The only way out is to become a bandit in the mountains and rob people on the way!

Under such special circumstances, most deserters would gather together for warmth, and very few would escape alone.

If this is true, then as long as Hu Laojiu is alive, this matter will be difficult to resolve.

Thinking of this, Lu You began to pray in his heart.

Allah, Jesus, Buddha, Bodhisattva, Hawking, Hubble, Galileo, and all the great sages, I made a wish before that you would bless Hu Laojiu to survive.

I am too young!!

This man is a deserter. He has left the people in dire straits and he really shouldn't be alive in this world.

Let him die!!

He must die!!

"Second sister?"

Seeing Lu You still in a daze, Lu Yi opened his mouth and called out softly.

"Ok?"

Lu You answered a little absentmindedly, but then he reacted again.

"By the way, Xiaoyi, have you heard about the Wu army's defeat recently?"

Lu Yi shook his head slightly when he heard this.

"I copy books at home every day, how can I hear these?"

"If Second Sister is interested in these, she can find out more about them when she goes to the town to hand in the books tomorrow."

"But our Qingzhou Prefecture is not a border prefecture. The deserters are most likely to have fled here from the border of Xijiang Prefecture. I don't think there will be too many of them."

"Second sister doesn't avoid worrying too much!"

After hearing Lu Yi's words, Lu You felt a little relieved, but he no longer had an appetite for food.

"You and your brother can share my porridge and sesame cakes."

As Lu You spoke, he stuffed the sesame cake in his hand into Lu Yi's hand.

"What about you?" Lu Yi asked with a frown.

"I have to go to the village head's house and tell him about the deserter."

"Although the probability of large-scale desertion here is low, it's always better to be careful."

After leaving these words, Lu You took the bow and walked out of the yard, heading straight for the headman's house.

After Lu You left, Lu Ming carefully stuck his head out of the door of the main house and looked into the yard.

"My second sister is gone?"

Lu Ming looked around and asked in a low voice, until he saw Lu Yi nod, then he ran back to the dining table again.

"My second sister doesn't want to eat anymore. She gave you her porridge and sesame cakes."

As Lu Yi spoke, he pushed Lu You's bowl of porridge and sesame cake in front of Lu Ming.

Looking at the sesame cake on the table, Lu Ming licked his lips reluctantly, hesitated for a few moments, and then pushed it in front of Lu Yi again.

"You're growing, so I'll give you the bread. I'll just have the porridge!"
