Travel through troubled times and escape famine with the system

one two three four……

Two, two, three, four...

Thank you for your patronage?

Come again!!

Green light flowed, and Lu You drew three games in a row again, but all he got was the system's emotionless mechanical prompt sound.

Ten thousand points just gone like that?

Lu You sat on the bed in a daze, looking at the green roulette wheel in front of him with a look of despair.

Let's draw again...

I’ve already drawn ten times, maybe I’ll get a burst of gear next time?

Looking at the lottery button, Lu You felt his lips dry, and even his outstretched hand was a little hesitant.

In fact, the system panel can complete the lottery just by thinking.

But for some reason, Lu You still felt that reaching out and pressing was an indispensable part of the process.

That feeling is just like in the Hong Kong God of Gamblers movie, where before everyone opens their cards, they have to stack two cards together and look at the cards bit by bit.

Obviously the result will be no different from just turning over the cards, but you still insist on doing so!

It is precisely the huge gap between the sense of expectation in this process and the actual results that causes those gamblers to always expect to make a comeback in the next round!

I just don’t believe it…

It's my turn now...

With the influence of these thoughts, Lu You didn't even realize that he had fallen into the gambler's dilemma.

smoke!

As the thought came to his mind, Lu You pressed his finger hard on the lottery button.

Green light flowed, and the system prompt sounded again.

【Thank you for your patronage! 】

…………

Dang Dang Dang!

There was a crisp knock on the door, and Lu You, who was lying on the bed, turned his head slightly and looked towards the door.

"what?"

Lu You asked casually, with a deep sense of fatigue in his tone.

She couldn't sleep again last night!

But this time it was not because of the uneasiness of traveling to another world, nor because of the annoying mosquitoes.

It was because of the regret that was suppressed in my chest and tortured me in the middle of the night!

No miracle!

No flipping!

Last night Lu You spent 15,000 points and drew 15 Thank You for Your Patronage.

The 11,000 points spent earlier were not too bad. After all, it only took a dozen minutes in total and was a typical impulse purchase.

But from the twelfth time, Lu You realized that something was wrong.

So she turned off the system, wanted to sleep, and no longer care about Goudan’s lottery.

But after half an hour, Lu You found that he couldn't fall asleep at all. As soon as he closed his eyes, the green halo would appear in front of him.

The urge to pull out again was constantly conflicting with my desire to stay rational, making Lu You's heart feel like it was being scratched by a cat and couldn't calm down.

Almost every one of the subsequent four draws was completed in such torture.

It was not until she wanted to exchange an Asan Da Li Pill to refresh herself because her head was heavy that she realized that she had less than 5,000 left out of her 19,000 yuan "huge sum".

Even the Asan Dali Pills were only enough to buy two more.

I don’t smoke anymore!

But he spent half the night regretting his unbridled behavior.

"Second sister, the porridge is ready, it's time to get up and eat!"

Lu Yi's voice sounded softly outside the door.

"it is good……"

Lu You sat up and agreed with a sigh.

After sleeping in his clothes all night, it was easier now. Lu You got out of bed and opened the door.

"Second sister..."

Seeing the door open, Lu Yi nodded and greeted but was stunned.

[Negative emotions from Lu Yi +30, +30, +30...]

Hearing the system prompt sound, Lu You subconsciously clenched his fists, and then he realized that he was too sensitive.

"Second sister! What's wrong with you?"

Not far away, Lu Ming put down the porridge bowl and almost trotted over to Lu You.

"Ok?"

Lu You looked down at his clothes and saw that they were just a little wrinkled and there was nothing wrong with them. Then he looked at the two of them in confusion.

"What's wrong with me?"

"Your hair..." Lu Ming said hesitantly.

hair?

Lu You reached out and touched the top of his head, only to find something was wrong.

Turning and entering the house, Lu You looked down at his own reflection in the basin, and finally understood the reason why Lu Ming and the others reacted like that.

Because of tossing and turning all night, his hair, which was already a little dry, was now completely tangled like a bird's nest.

If a stranger saw me in this state, I would probably be thought of as a lunatic!

"You guys eat first, I'll wash up first!"

Lu You closed the door and said.

There was no shampoo in those days, and poor families almost all used soap nuts to wash their hair.

However, although this thing cleans very well, it also has a disadvantage. That is, using it to wash your hair for a long time can easily damage the hair.

Take Lu You for example, although her hair is dry, it has lost its luster.

As for washing your hair with rice water, it can nourish the hair, but it is only used by wealthy families.

After all, the prerequisite for rice washing water is to have a large amount of refined rice to wash!

Nearly quarter of an hour later, Lu You finally dried his long hair roughly, tied it with a hemp rope, and opened the door.

Seeing Lu You coming, Lu Yi and the other man stood up together, and only sat down again after Lu You sat down.

"Why don't you eat?"

Looking at the vegetable porridge in the large coarse porcelain bowl in front of the two people, Lu You asked casually.

"Wait for my second sister." Lu Ming said with a smile.

The vegetable porridge was made by Lu Yi. It was made by blanching wild vegetables in water to remove the bitterness, then adding them into the almost cooked porridge and stirring them. Although it was simple, it was an indispensable food for every family in the village.

Lu You picked up the bowl, took a sip, then looked up at Lu Yi.

"Xiao Yi, didn't you just buy so much refined rice yesterday? Why didn't you put more? This porridge is too watery!"

Lu Yi put down his bowl and chopsticks and looked at Lu You.

"Second sister, I calculated last night that we don't have much money at home. We don't know how we will live in the future without our school land, so we should save some money."

Lu Ming, who was sipping porridge at the side, nodded in agreement when he heard this.

"Yes, yes! Second sister, although this refined rice is delicious, it is not something that people like us can afford."

"I'd better buy yellow rice from now on! One pound of refined rice costs six cents, which can buy one and a half pounds of yellow rice. Not only can you buy more with the same money, but it's also more filling!"

Aren’t you really hungry?

The yellow rice in this other world does not refer to the modern rhubarb rice or millet, but coarsely ground rice. Because it still has a lot of tender shells inside, it looks a little yellow when piled together, hence the name.

It is precisely because of the difficult-to-digest tender shell that people often cook it into porridge.

Doing this, firstly, by adding water, you can save some rice, and secondly, the yellow rice will be difficult to swallow after being steamed into dry rice.

Lu You was an orphan in his previous life, so he wasn't very particular about food and drink. However, he really couldn't like this tasteless vegetable porridge.

After finishing the bowl of vegetable porridge in big mouthfuls, Lu You wiped his mouth and put the large coarse porcelain bowl on the table.

"Lu Yi washes the dishes! Lu Ming makes the fire!"

"My second sister will cook for you today, let me show you how it is."

"Shenma... this is the real delicacy!!"
