Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run

At midnight, Luo Yu sneaked into the bamboo forest, and Xia Liang was surrounded by more than a dozen big dogs, who were very respectful to her.

When they saw Luo Yu, they all made way for her as if they knew her.

The most capable assistant, the lackey, welcomed Luo Yu's arrival with a wagging tail, and was almost on his knees to lick him.

Luo Yu smiled and stroked the dog's head. He thought that the dog must understand more than other dogs, otherwise it would not be closest to Xia Liang.

"Sister Luo Yu, what do you think of this lackey? He is very much in my heart."

"It's a good big dog, but the dog-legged barking is not pleasant to hear!"

"Sister, how about we give it a name?"

Luo Yu hesitated for a moment and asked Xia Liang, "If you hadn't decided to take it with you, you wouldn't have had too much attachment to it. Even though it's just a puppy, it probably has the IQ of a three or four-year-old child. Could you bear to let it carry the memories of its own name with it?"

Xia Liang remained silent and rubbed her head against Luo E's body. She was afraid that Brother Bingrui would be able to pick her and Sister Luo E away in a few days. She didn't know how to say goodbye to the dogs one by one then.

Luo Yu touched her head, told her about his experiences over the past two days, and also told Xia Liang that he wanted to help Chunhua's family.

Xia Liang thought for a moment and said, "Sister, I think it's okay for you to do this, but I think you should know better than me whether you can guarantee Chunhua's family a good life in the future, or whether these skills can be passed down.

If this truly makes money, there will always be those who will envy and harbor ill intentions. Sister Chunhua and her family might not be able to keep this wealth. It would be great if Uncle Gong could take on an apprentice to pass on the skills, but I'm afraid they'll encounter profit-driven merchants who, blinded by profit, will buy these skills and then monopolize them. How much hope do you think there will be for them to serve ordinary people?"

"I've thought about everything you said."

"So, sister, do you have an idea?"

"If one person can't defend it, how can a village or a city be defended?"

Xia Liang was stunned for a moment and said, "Sister, do you think the people of Qingshui Village can unite?"

Luo Yu shook his head and said thoughtfully: "I don't know, not to mention that these people have never been to school, there are not many who can even read.

Even if there is family strength to unite, if there is no respected and wise elder in the family, it is unlikely that they can unite and maintain their original intention.

We can't think about these things now. With just technology, but without the support and background of power, even a small fry can easily kill the poor in this dynasty."

Xia Liang breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that Luo Ke would say that he wanted to stay and help the people in this village. Fortunately, Sister Luo Ke was a person who considered the overall situation.

"Sister, if this dynasty doesn't work, why don't we take the time-space machine and try to go back to the 21st century?"

"What if there is only failure? You and I don't know how many parallel worlds there are. We can't waste all our time trying." Luo Yu sighed and continued,

"We've spent a year trying to time travel, and another year refining the time-space chassis. I'm afraid by the time we find the right time and space, we'll all be old and frail. But in this dynasty, even if we spend decades trying to change, even if we fail, we'll still be the same age when we return to the present world. It won't affect our actual age."

"That's right!" Xia Liang yawned. "Sister, let's just play around in this era for a while. When Brother Bingrui comes, we can talk about it!"

"Okay, you take a rest first. I'll grill some meat for you." Luo Yu saw the uneaten raw meat next to him and asked in surprise, "Did you steal meat again?"

Xia Liang laughed foolishly, and the earth shook.

"No, it's just that the Xu family is always arguing with everyone and the dogs. They even organized a group of people to get rid of the dogs and even drugged their meat to kill them. Luckily, I smelled something strange. They want us dead, so we can't just sit there and wait for death. We might as well continue to go to the Xu family to steal some edible food, haha."

"..."

Come to think of it, if Xia Liang was poisoned to death by the Xu family, Luo Yu would be so angry that he would wipe out the entire family, no matter what laws or life for life are involved. After all, there are only three of them in their world.

"Then you better be careful. I'm afraid they are not so easy to mess with."

"Haha, how could they have guessed my resourcefulness? I was able to lead the dogs to steal a lot of meat by using the tactic of luring the tiger away from the mountain. Next time, I plan to split the operation into three groups. If it doesn't work, I can personally go out and scare them to tears."

"Fortunately, the Xu family is wealthy, so getting some food isn't a big deal. Besides, we'll be leaving in a few days, so they won't lose much. You don't have to show up in person, as I'm afraid the Imperial City Division will hear about this and come."

Luo Yu could only convince herself that she couldn't go into the city to buy meat, Xia Liang couldn't eat enough and couldn't live well, and they couldn't find the time and space chassis, so what could they use to develop this dynasty?

Besides, give the Xu family some benefits and see if they dare to bully the weak in the future.

On the second day, Luo Yu took the drawings he had finished overnight to Uncle Gong. Uncle Gong was an expert after all, and he knew the creativity and value of these things at a glance. If he did it well, not to mention becoming famous overnight, it would not be impossible for him to become a small wealthy man.

"Are you really going to give me all these blueprints? I wonder which master this young lady learned from. Would he really not mind you passing the blueprints to a stranger?"

"The master's surname is Lu, and he is a great talent. You don't know him."

Luo Yu could only speak vaguely.

Seeing that Uncle Gong didn't ask any more questions, he carefully explained the important technological principles in the drawings to Uncle Gong, and patiently turned the drawings over and over again to mark them with easy-to-understand annotations.

Who knows whether Uncle Gong’s memory will be good in the future? It will be troublesome if he can’t read.

Uncle Gong was deeply moved, and his hands holding the drawings couldn't help shaking.

"Girl, you are handing me a huge fortune for free. Whether it is a blessing or a curse, I am afraid I can't bear it alone."

Luo Yu was secretly surprised. Uncle Gong could think deeply and was not a greedy person. He must have weighed the pros and cons before he dared to say anything.

"Uncle Gong, if one person can't protect it, a group of people, a clan can. What do you think? I can give these things to outsiders, naturally hoping to pass them on. Inheritance cannot be accomplished by one's own strength. If it is developed on a large scale, and the entire world is occupied by this industry, it will surely be passed on better."

"What the young lady said is absolutely right. If one does not covet and contributes to the benefit of the whole community with one's own efforts, it will surely become a large-scale project. I hope the people of Qingshui Village can understand the young lady's intentions."

Luo Yu felt more and more that Uncle Gong was a wise man, so she sat down and discussed her ideas with him seriously. When she mentioned that inheritance does not distinguish between men and women, old and young, Uncle Gong looked surprised.

Luo Yu knew that he couldn't convince him with moral principles in a short time, so he smiled and said, "Look, if my master despised me because I was a girl and didn't pass on his skills to me, how would I have the chance to pass it on to others, right?

"My master has had only one concern in his life: to ensure that his skills are passed down through the ages and benefit future generations. We have suffered so much in this life, do we think our descendants will have to live like this? My master is knowledgeable and open-minded. He is a capable man. He taught me to read and understand, and he also allowed me to pass on my skills. I am sure Uncle Gong will understand his intentions."

"You, who is this immortal master?" Uncle Gong was only forty-five years old and had seen a lot of things, but nothing had ever been as shocking as what Luo Yu said. He knew that there were many extraordinary people in the world, but he didn't believe that there were people who did not ask for anything in return but only wanted to help the world.

"My master is just an ordinary citizen. He once suffered untold hardships and hoped that people would wake up and no longer suffer. I am only fulfilling his lifelong wish."

Uncle Gong remained silent, his heart surging with emotion. Even though he had not read much, Luo Yu's encouraging words could not be erased from his mind.

Luo Yu smiled faintly. The ancients were indeed easily influenced by words.
