My spirit appeared on the road to exile, and I was treated as an ancestor.

Chapter 111 I Want to Make a Will

Gu Xingzhao looked at Du Hangwu with amusement, worried that he would get too much heat from eating hot pot, and thinking that the box he had given him last time should be almost used up, so he sent him a new one.

It's just a box of hemorrhoid cream, it's not like we've never seen it before, why are you making such a big reaction?

Du Hangwu, who had been killing without batting an eye while carrying a knife, was now blushing to the roots of his neck. Why was the Lu family deity bringing him medicine at this time, when he was still eating?
Besides, if people knew that he stuffed this thing down his ass every day, what authority would he have left in front of his subordinates?
Du Hangwu stuffed the medicine into his pocket and continued eating his food in silence. Only when he realized that no one was paying attention to him did he feel at ease.

He couldn't help but think that he had just finished the medicine yesterday and hadn't even had a chance to tell Lu Qing yet, but the Lu family deity had already sent the medicine first.
Could it be that the deity is constantly watching to see if his hidden ailment is improving?

Thinking about it, his hand holding the chopsticks stiffened. Could it be?
Gu Xingzhao: "???" Help!!!
No! Who's going to keep an eye on your hemorrhoids all the time?
Seeing that Du Hangwu was still thinking, Gu Xingzhao really wanted to strike him with lightning to wake him up and tell him to think more about serious matters instead of filling his head with so much nonsense.

She walked around for a while, and then looked at the Lu family for a bit more. Seeing that they were eating with gusto, they obviously enjoyed it.

Gu Xingzhao suddenly thought, why not cooperate with Mo Li in the future and order some vegetables every day, so that they can be sold in the new supermarket and also provide extra meals for the Lu family.

We can also find suppliers for ready-made food containers. When the new supermarket opens, it can take care of Lu Qing and the others' meals, so they won't always have to eat compressed biscuits and instant noodles.

She wondered how much longer Lu Qing and his group would have to travel. With that in mind, she asked Lu Qing, "Lu Qing, how much longer will it take you to reach the Northern Lands?"

Lu Qing estimated, "In reply to our predecessors, the team was delayed quite a bit due to injuries. If the delay is short, it should take another month and a half. If there are further delays, it will probably take another two months."

Gu Xingzhao was shocked, "It's going to take this long?"

She looked around at the prisoners scattered in various places. Dozens of them had died along the way, and the rest were all exhausted from traveling for more than a month.

No wonder historical records show that almost all those exiled for three thousand miles died on the way. Who could withstand that?
Lu Qing explained, "This is how far a prisoner can travel. If an ordinary person were to travel by horse, it would only take a month to get there."

Gu Xingzhao sighed, "I'm sorry to trouble you all."

If it weren't for the difficulty of managing so many people, she would have even considered bringing her own car and driving Lu Qing and the others directly to the North, but unfortunately, that wasn't possible.

Gu Xingzhao asked Lu Qing for the e-reader and power bank back, planning to return them to them later that evening after they were fully charged.

Thinking about how there was nothing in ancient times, she couldn't help but feel fortunate: life in ancient times was unbearable just to look at. Luckily, she lived in modern times. If she had traveled to ancient times with modern memories, she would have become depressed in no time.
That night, Gu Xingzhao brought two large bags of groceries to the Lu family's house. When she entered, she saw Lu Bingwen still busy in the kitchen, so she immediately went in to help.

Lu Bingwen, holding a spatula, smiled and told her to go outside and wait, "The kitchen is smoky, so it's best for a young lady like you to stay here. Just serve the dishes later."

Gu Xingzhao then sat down in the living room and looked around. He felt that nothing had changed, except that the teapot that was originally in the middle of the cabinet had been moved to the bottom, and now the ink dropper was placed in the middle.

She remembered that Lu Bingwen used to really like that teapot, so he always kept it in the middle. Now, he's put the ink dropper there instead, which shows that he likes the ink dropper even more.

Gu Xingzhao's lips curved into a smile. He hadn't expected Uncle Lu to like it so much. He would ask He Zhen to keep an eye out for it and see if she could help him find one of even better quality.

Just then, Lu Bingwen's voice came from the kitchen, "Xiao Zhao, come quickly and bring the dishes, it's time to eat."

Gu Xingzhao then got up and went into the kitchen.

Lu Bingwen was an excellent cook; he prepared three dishes and a soup, all of which Gu Xingzhao liked to eat.

He used serving chopsticks to put food on Gu Xingzhao's plate several times. "Xiao Zhao, have you thought about what you want to do in the future?" Gu Xingzhao looked puzzled, not understanding the meaning behind his words. "?"

Lu Bingwen asked, "Would you like to work at a big hospital in the city? Uncle Lu can arrange it for you."

Gu Xingzhao shook his head. "I didn't expect that. Why would you suddenly ask such a question?"

She had already been in town for three years, and her supermarket was doing quite well. She still had money in hand and was about to open a large supermarket. She had no intention of going back to work at the hospital, especially since she had 26 people in the Lu family to support and couldn't spare the time.

She looked at Lu Bingwen with a puzzled expression. Uncle Lu had never asked her about work before, so why was he suddenly asking now?

Lu Bingwen deliberately avoided Gu Xingzhao's gaze and explained, "It's not that I'm thinking you're young and can go out and try your luck while you're still young. But the pressure in big cities is too great, so staying in town is fine too. Everyone here knows each other, and we can look out for each other."

Originally, he thought that while he was still alive, he would do his best to pave the way for Gu Xingzhao's future, but this matter still depended on her own wishes.

From that question, it's clear the young girl has no intention of venturing out into the world.

Gu Xingzhao didn't think too much about it, assuming that Lu Bingwen was just asking casually.

"I'll stay in town, so I can have meals with you and see Aunt Wang and the others. That's good enough."

She doesn't consider herself to have any grand ambitions; as long as she can get along well with the people around her, that's enough for her.

Lu Bingwen was slightly taken aback, his furrowed brows relaxed, and he ladled a bowl of soup and placed it next to Gu Xingzhao. "Then stay in town."

If she stays in town, at least if the girl gets into trouble again, even if I'm not around in the future, there will still be acquaintances in the police station who can help her.

It wasn't until after dinner, while the two were playing chess in the living room, that Lu Bingwen brought up his own affairs, "By the way, Xiao Zhao, I'm retiring early and planning to travel and see the world."

Gu Xingzhao was surprised. Lu Bingwen still had a year before retirement. He had always been a workaholic, but now he was going to retire early.

"Early retirement is fine, but will you be traveling alone?"

Lu Bingwen: "I've arranged to meet two retired friends. We'll be leaving next month and won't be going back to town for a while."

Knowing that he had friends with him, Gu Xingzhao was relieved. "Then please send me more photos later so I can see them too."

"Okay." Lu Bingwen repeatedly touched the chess piece in his hand with his fingertips, and said in a joking tone, "Come and have meals with Uncle Lu more often this month, otherwise you won't be able to eat there anymore."

Gu Xingzhao smiled and agreed, "Okay!"

She didn't leave the Lu family until almost nine o'clock.

Lu Suo stood on the balcony, coughing with a tissue over his mouth. He watched Gu Xingzhao leave the community before dialing a number on his phone. The call was answered quickly.

"Attorney You, would it be convenient for you to come over tomorrow? I'd like to make a will."
