Chapter 424 Being chased all over the street
On the second and third days, Luo Yu's small street stall business was still doing well.
By the fourth day, the crowd had suddenly dwindled to half its size. Most of the people who showed up were young men who refused to admit defeat and had plenty of money. They challenged and failed time and time again, yet they were quite content.
Luo Yu saw that this was not going to work. He was afraid that these young masters would not come tomorrow, so someone had to come to pass the game.
She carefully observed the people passing by by their clothes, words and behavior. When she saw a scholar, she hurried over and called out, "Young man in blue, it's you..."
Before he could finish his words, he discovered that the man walking with the scholar in green was actually the man who had a free trial on the first day.
"Mr. Luo, I'm talking about this girl who's setting up a stall and writing number games. Do you want to try it? If you can't do it, then it proves that this game is definitely a scam."
The smile on Luo Yu's face suddenly froze. This wasn't about introducing business, this was someone deliberately trying to ruin things!
When the scholar surnamed Luo heard this, he walked over to look at the rules of the game on the sign, and then looked at the young students who were writing. He suddenly understood and expressed his willingness to give it a try.
Luo Yu wanted to pray to the Buddha to bless him to succeed. Even if he only succeeded in this one thing, her business would be able to continue well. She could just hold on one day at a time!
Luo Xiucai wrote 300 words in one breath without stopping, and he didn't make a single mistake. Luo Yu was overjoyed, thinking that he might succeed.
The other failed students and young masters were attracted over and stared closely at Mr. Luo writing, feeling even more nervous than when they were writing themselves.
As he wrote to 550, the crowd gathered together, holding their breath and not daring to disturb this young man.
Seeing that more and more people were gathering around him, Luo Yu wanted to lift them up and throw them far away one by one. Wouldn't this obviously increase the pressure on Luo Xiucai?
Luo Xiucai lived up to everyone's expectations. When he finally wrote 596, someone said, "Oh, this time it worked."
As soon as the sentence was completed, the 597 written by Luo Xiucai involuntarily had an extra hook, becoming 2.
At that moment, time around them stopped, and all the people watching the trick seemed to be motionless, with frozen expressions on their faces.
Luo Yu leaned over to take a look, and he wanted to pick up the young master who had just said "It's done this time" and throw him into the sky.
"Oh! What a pity!" After one person said this, everyone else sighed, feeling even more regretful than if they had made a mistake themselves.
Mr. Luo was fine, but his friend beside him was so anxious that he crumpled up the neatly written paper and threw it at Luo Yu's head.
"Liar, liar! No one can succeed at all."
Luo Yu was also quite speechless. He silently picked up the piece of paper that had fallen to the ground and laughed innocently: "Isn't this almost done? It proves that there is still a success rate, just not for people like you!"
As she finished, another hot-blooded young man pointed at her nose and said, "Then can you finish writing it without making any mistakes? If you can't make any mistakes, then it will prove that this game is not a scam."
Luo Yu's face was full of melancholy. Not to mention making mistakes, she had written these numbers several times, and each time she paused for half a minute before continuing. She didn't dare to guarantee that she was foolproof.
Seeing her hesitant, someone in the crowd took the opportunity to shout: "She is a liar, ask her to pay back the money, liar, pay back the money!"
"Pay back! Pay back!"
Those students who had just blamed their own distraction for their failure also started shouting. After all, no one could succeed, so that didn't prove that it was their own problem.
After a while, the noise became louder and louder, and more and more people came to watch the fun.
Luo Yu was speechless and wanted to take the opportunity to run away with the flag and the stand that showed the rules of the game, but it wouldn't work here, so he tried to find another place!
"Look, she's trying to take the things and run away. She must be a liar!"
"Yes, we smashed her things and stopped her from cheating people."
Luo Yu originally thought that he could make money from educated people, as at least scholars were respectful and reasonable. However, he never expected that when provoked, this group of people would be no different from rioters.
The tables and chairs she borrowed were all lifted up and smashed by the angry crowd. Luo Yu protected her purse. Fortunately, she had the foresight to make a bag, otherwise the money box would have been smashed by the crowd.
Fortunately, Su Xiaoxiao was strong and few people could do anything to her. When Luo Hong pushed a few people away and was about to run away, someone grabbed a corner of her skirt from behind. There was a hissing sound, and Luo Hong looked back and saw that the hem of her skirt was torn into two pieces.
It's just bad luck, the more important thing is to run away with the money.
She was running in front, and the people behind her were chasing her holding broken legs of tables and chairs. It was so lively.
It is said that people in Tanzhou all like to fight. After a while, someone hit Luo Ke in front of his eyes with a stool leg. Fortunately, Luo Ke dodged quickly and his feet were not hit.
It was just a pity for these tables and chairs, which had been dismantled completely. Luo Yu calculated that he would have to pay two taels of silver as compensation, and would also have to buy an extra set of clothes, which would waste a few hundred coins.
She didn't know how far she had run. There were originally a dozen scholars chasing her, but she didn't expect that more and more people would join her as she ran. It turned out that these people were all those who had written several times in the past few days but had not finished. They were holding their breath and had to ask Luo Yu for an explanation.
Luo Yu was at a loss for words, thinking that even if he moved to another location, he wouldn't be able to escape these people's pursuit. He simply steeled himself, stopped, turned around, raised his hands, and said, "Stop, stop, stop. I'd rather prove my game is not a scam than give in easily."
"Okay, if you have the ability, write it down for us to see."
"Write if you want to. No one is afraid of you."
Luo Yu looked at the broken stools and table legs that had been thrown along the way and couldn't help but curse: "You broke my table and chairs, so you have to compensate me for my losses first. Otherwise, I will drag you to see the authorities."
"You liar, you dare to report it to the police? Try writing it out for us first. If it's good, we'll compensate you with the table and chairs."
After hearing this, Luo Yu had nothing to say. He couldn't just continue to be unreasonable.
"Alright, let's find a place to sit down and write. I don't believe I can't write well."
After Luo Yu finished speaking, she led a group of scholars to a wonton shop to have lunch first, and then take a short rest. Once she had regained her energy, she didn't believe that she couldn't write well.
As Luo Yu was running around the city, Murong Huaijin and Li Feng rode in from outside the city. Tanzhou City seemed to be more lively than before. Along the way, people were shouting, "Catch the liar, catch the liar!"
Young Master Murong slowed down his horse and saw a group of people chasing a figure in the distance. People on the whole street were discussing this farce.
Li Feng chuckled and muttered, "Finally, someone has stolen the limelight from our Master Murong."
Murong had no interest at all, but suddenly he heard someone following the crowd ask another person: "Hey, man, what's going on?"
"Don't you know? This liar uses Arabic numerals to defraud customers."
“How is this a scam?”
"that is……"
The man talked a lot, and Murong only heard a few Arabic numerals. His expression was solemn and his eyes were blurred. He immediately asked Li Feng to go with him to see what was going on.
