Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run

These numbers were a little difficult, so Luo Yu pretended to think, but she couldn't let everyone know that she had already memorized these algorithms.

After a long while, no one had figured out the answer. An older businessman muttered, "Could it be that these four numbers simply don't add up to the number 24?"

Qin Luoyu shook his head. "I heard the girl who brought this deck of cards say that any four numbers in this deck can be added, subtracted, multiplied, or divided to get 24. I'm sure she's right."

As he spoke, he stretched out his fingers and pretended to calculate in his mind.

一会，她笑着道:“我算出来了，大伙听听对不对。先用13减去8得到数字5，再用5乘以7得到35，35再减去11就是数字24。”

Master Wu calculated it silently and said with emotion: "Oh, your mental arithmetic ability is really amazing. I admire you very much."

"No, no, I'm just helping my dad with his small pork business and doing the accounting."

An uncle nodded repeatedly: "So the girl is in the pork business. No wonder, doing these small businesses is the most challenging for mental arithmetic skills."

Another uncle echoed, "Indeed, indeed. However, this game involves calculating the process based on the results, which is much more difficult than doing arithmetic in business. The girl is truly remarkable."

Luo Yu smiled awkwardly. It didn't matter whether she was good at math or not. What mattered was that she had a good memory and all the conversion processes were memorized in her mind.

After several rounds, except for one question that she gave to Mr. Wu to answer, Luo Yu was the first to answer the others.

Perhaps because they were so noisy, many people came over after hearing the noise. However, the cabin was too small to squeeze in any extra people. Master Wu was having a great time and asked everyone if they wanted to go out on deck to play. None of the others could answer, so naturally, unwilling to admit defeat, they also agreed to go out on deck to play. So, the group sat in a circle on the deck and played blackjack.

Fortunately, there were a lot of straw mats on the boat. The people playing in the middle sat on the straw mats, and the people watching from the back either stood or squatted. After a while, there were twelve people joining in the poker game.

Qin Luoqie had an even happier time, as she answered most of the questions. She touched the shoulder bag she was carrying and realized that she had earned more than 800 coins. If she lived frugally, her living expenses for the next few days would be covered.

While everyone was having fun, Luo Yu said she had a stomachache and wanted to walk away for a while. She thought that the people in the next room might come out for some fresh air after hearing the hustle and bustle outside, so she had to go inside and wait.

When he entered the cabin, he found that the door to the next room was still locked. Luo Yu frowned slightly. Could this person just be an ordinary social anxiety? Besides, the boat was rocking, and it was easy to get seasick if you stayed in the room alone. Luo Yu didn't believe that he wouldn't come out to get some fresh air.

The noise of playing cards outside was growing louder and louder, and I was afraid that everyone on the ship had been attracted to the deck.

Luo Yu leaned against the wooden wall of the room and listened attentively to the sounds next door. When there was some movement on the opposite side, she immediately paid attention and heard that the door opposite seemed to be opened and someone walked out of the room.

She grabbed a feather duster placed beside the bed, quickly opened the door, and swung the feather duster out. The man leaned back, tilted his head, and easily dodged the feather duster.

Qin Luoye took the opportunity to take off the mask on his face. The man was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and quickly grabbed her wrist with one hand, but Qin Luoye's other hand flew out a silver hairpin and shot towards the mask on his face.

The man used his free hand to grab her flying hairpin, but he didn't take the initiative to attack. He just kept dodging Qin Luo'er's attacks.

Qin Luohe chuckled awkwardly. It seemed that this person was very familiar with her moves. Who else could it be but Murong Huaijin?

"Why are you following me?"

The man remained silent, probably not wanting her to know who he was.

Luo Yu almost burst out laughing, trying his best to hide his smile, his tone very cold: "Master Murong, I know it's you. Do you think I can't recognize your figure because you covered your face?"

When the man saw that she had seen through him, he slowly took off his mask, revealing a perfect and handsome face.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, his face showing unconcealable embarrassment, but his eyes looked straight at Qin Luoqi without any hesitation.

"Miss Su Xiaoxiao, you seem to have lost a lot of weight."

"Yes, life on the run is hard!" Luo Yu smiled and bent down to pick up the feather duster he had just thrown away.

When Master Murong saw her sweeping towards him with the feather duster again, he took several steps back, but the smile on his face did not fade.

"Tell me, what are you, a grown man, doing with me?"

"The girl misunderstood. We met purely by fate."

Qin Luosheng put his hands on his hips and said, "I heard from Miss Seven that you went to the capital to start work a month ago. How come you're suddenly on my way here after being in the capital for a month?"

"I encountered something on the way and was delayed. I didn't meet Miss Su until I reached Wangzhou City. But I was afraid that she would misunderstand me, so I covered it up."

"Oh, what a coincidence! You're actually the one staying in the room next to mine in the Wangzhou City Inn, right?"

Qin Luoqi looked suspicious. It seemed that Murong Huaijin had already inquired about Su Xiaoxiao's background. Perhaps, he had even found out about it from Lord Li, the governor of Wangzhou.

"I just saw that it was unsafe for the girl to go out alone, so I followed her and wanted to protect her secretly. I didn't expect that the place she was going to was also in the north, which happened to be on the same route as mine."

"Who said I went north?"

Qin Luoyi thought it was inconvenient to talk outside, so she simply pulled Murong into her room, closed the door, and pointed a feather duster at his face and asked, "Tell me, how much do you know about me?"

When Murong Huai saw her sneaky look, she really looked like the thin and weak Qin Luoqi at that time. It turned out that even if they were not in the same body, her nature was still so lovely.

"Murong, why are you laughing when you answer my question?"

"You finally called me Murong again."

Qin Luosheng had countless questions in his mind. Could it be that he had called him Murong before?

"When did I ever call you Murong?"

"When you were angry before, you would call me by my last name. It seems that you have forgotten something."

"I've only met you a few times, how could I have forgotten? It's really funny."

Qin Luoqi threw the feather duster on the table and sat on the edge of the bed, wanting Murong Huaijin to explain himself clearly.

"Tell me, what are you thinking? Have you tried to find out anything about me?"

Young Master Murong felt very aggrieved. He walked to her bedside, pointed at it and asked, "Can I sit down?"

"No, this is a girl's bed, sit on the floor."

Mr. Murong had no choice but to sit obediently on the floor beside the bed. Seeing how obedient he was, Luo Yu didn't know how to get angry with such a well-behaved person.

"Su Xiaoxiao, you are actually Qin Luosheng himself!"
