Chapter 3: Murphy's Law
The sky was already a little dark, and looking at the collapsed tree in front of him, Lu Yu didn't feel any guilt at all because of the fact that he had fooled the old man to help him cut down the tree before.
Jokes, everyone loves to hear good words, isn't it, besides, it wasn't him who asked him to help cut down trees, he himself said that he didn't want the old man to take the initiative to teach by word and deed, but the old man didn't say that he could learn quickly while talking.
If the old man hears Lu Yu's thoughts, I estimate that the next second the old man's axe will not be cut on the tree, but on his body.
"System, mission accomplished. Calling the system, in fact, Lu Yu was also a little worried, he was afraid that these trees that he had cut down with his own hands would not be able to complete the task.
The task is complete, the system has collected the tree, and the host can view the relevant furniture and placement through the inventory after returning to the inn. β
Fortunately, the system's reply relieved him.
When I returned to the inn, I carried a bucket of water, after all, I almost didn't die of thirst after a day, so I delayed a little longer, and at this time the sky had been completely pressed.
Lu Yu checked the miscellaneous bar, and sure enough, there were already many tables, chairs, bedboards, etc., but he first took out the candlestick.
Suddenly, the candlestick appeared in Lu Yu's hand, and a swaying light lit up the inn again, but then Lu Yu did not put out the other furniture, after all, it was not early, and he was going to rest in the inn for a night.
The evening breeze carried a trace of coolness, but it did not make Lu Yu feel cold, because of the system, he knew that his life would not be ordinary.
So much so that he couldn't sleep with some excitement all night, so when the sun rose in the morning, he was just about to sleep, but the dazzling sunlight seemed to tell him - if you don't want to sleep, don't sleep.
Lu Yu, who had a panda eye, was a little annoyed, annoyed that he was too uncompetitive, too unreserved, too uncalm, just a system, and he couldn't sleep all night.
Speaking of the system, "Oh yes, the reward for cleaning the inn hasn't been claimed yet. β
After a while, looking at the certain big ingots in his hand, Lu Yu smiled happily, it seemed that it was no big deal if he didn't sleep all night.
Lu Yu, who had money, naturally had the spirit again, and after placing all kinds of furniture and so on early, Lu Yu went out with ten taels of silver.
Not far from the post station, there is a newly built town, which is one of the reasons for the diversion of the official road at that time, this town is called Lijia Town, I heard that a rich merchant returned to build a foothold here, but now after a few decades, it has developed from a small village to a town, which is really a bit unexpected.
However, I heard that there is another reason for this, that is, the son of a wealthy businessman surnamed Li seems to have worshiped the Jianghu sect in his early years, and he is quite valued.
However, these have nothing to do with Lu Yu for the time being, and the main purpose of his coming today is to buy some ingredients in order to complete the second side quest given by Xi.
As long as this side quest is completed, the series of quests to fully clean up the inn will be completed, and the system will reward a recruitment opportunity, and I don't know what kind of recruitment method this reward is.
Ten taels of silver, not much, a lot less, for some rich people may be a few meals or even one meal may not be enough, but for some rural farmers, it is also a few years of income.
Ten taels of silver is not much, but the things that Lu Yu wants to buy are not very expensive, and this large ingot of silver is also quite inconvenient to use, so he simply went to the silver number or the money bank to exchange some scattered silver.
"Thank you for your patronage, you go slowly!"
The shopkeeper of the silver number had just sent off a guest who had deposited money, and when he looked up, he saw Lu Yu who had entered it.
"This guest, do you need anything, this silver number is a silver ticket semicolon with a history of thousands of years, and you can be absolutely assured of all the business dealings that happen here. β
"I want to exchange ten taels of silver. Lu Yu didn't say much and took out the silver directly.
The shopkeeper didn't say much, and after checking it, he said directly: "Your silver ingot is very beautiful, but this amount is lighter than the silver ingot used by ordinary people." β
When Lu Yu heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he said in his heart, "It's not this shopkeeper who wants to say that his silver ingot is fake, and the system naturally can't give him a fake." β
"You misunderstood, just because ordinary silver ingots will inevitably be mixed with some other metals in the casting process, and the natural fineness will be worse, but yours is quite good, so I conclude that this should be extremely difficult to forge sterling silver, but I can only exchange it for 12 taels for you. As soon as the shopkeeper saw Lu Yu's face, he knew that he had misunderstood.
Lu Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, this thousand-year-old store is really worthy of this signboard, he once thought that the other party was greedy for his silver, but then he laughed again, how could such a big silver number damage its reputation for ten taels of silver.
Lu Yu thanked him and left, but before leaving, the shopkeeper also told him that if there was such silver in the future, remember to come here to exchange it, and he could give a good price.
Lu Yu kept this in mind, and couldn't say that this was also a good way to make money, who made the silver given by the system higher than the forging process of this era.
I took a casual look along the way, and I didn't have the heart to go shopping for the time being, but now Lu Yu still felt that he had to get the inn up first, and it would be bad if he messed around and caused some trouble, so he should hurry up and buy it and go back to hand in the task.
It's just that man is a very strange animal, and the more you don't want to have trouble, the more trouble will find you.
He was careful all the way for fear of bumping into people, but he didn't want to be hit by someone, Lu Yu couldn't help but say: "Damn Murphy's law." β
"What, damn it, donkey. Originally, the other party was also going to do something, and after glaring at Lu Yu, he was about to leave, but because of Lu Yu's words, he turned around and dragged Lu Yu.
"No, you heard me wrong, I'm talking about Murphy's Law. Lu Yu had the heart to explain.
But the other party was stunned and insisted on hearing the words wrong, and this time he was more determined.
"Wow, you dare to say that I'm a donkey, right, you see I beat you into a donkey. Saying that, the other party grabbed Lu Yu's collar and was about to do it.
Lu Yu was shocked, looking at these five big and three thick men, he was definitely not an opponent, and he couldn't break free with such great strength, and he called the system for a while.
'Leave it up to the host to fix it themselves. β
"I'll fuck you system. Lu Yu, who heard the system's reply, said angrily again, but forgot to blurt out directly.
This can't help but make the person who is angry even more angry, "Okay, wow, you kid is really not afraid of death, right, if I don't beat you all over the peach blossoms today, you don't know why the flowers are so red." β
"My life is on the line. As soon as the words came out, Lu Yu knew that it was not good, and he really couldn't explain it clearly, so he immediately held his head with his hands and closed his eyes.
However, there is always a scene in the story where the male protagonist is about to be beaten, but a person comes out to rescue the male protagonist who is about to be ravaged.
"Stop, in broad daylight, why do you commit murder on the street. The person who came was dressed in black linen, with a pair of curved eyebrows, a pair of big eyes, and a very delicate appearance.
Lu Yu, who raised his head when he heard this, suddenly found that the person dressed as a man did not have an Adam's apple, and immediately knew that the other party must be a woman pretending, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a while.
"Where did you come from, wild boy, looking for a fight. The two were stunned, and when they saw that someone dared to intervene, they immediately swung their fists away.
It's just that who thought that the other party actually had kung fu, just listened to the sound of 'drink ha', and the second stunned person was beaten into the crowd of onlookers, and the person who came did not make a heavy hand, the second stunned got up and checked that nothing was going on and walked away.
The crowd couldn't help but burst into boos, and suddenly the people who wanted to watch the show dispersed in a hurry.
"Are you alright? The gentle words instantly pulled Lu Yu back to reality.
Looking at the life-saving benefactor who stretched out his hand towards him, Lu Yu also stretched out his hand and asked: "Dare to ask Engong's surname, where he lives, and he will have a good guarantee in the future." β
The man seemed to have something unspeakable, but as soon as he saw Lu Yu's sincere eyes, he said directly: "Contemptible Li Jiangang, home is hereγγγγγ β
"Poof~~~"
I saw a water arrow splashing out of Lu Yu's mouth, and the man couldn't help but turn his head to look back and find that Lu Yu had already walked away.
