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

Chapter 6 Our Lu family ancestors actually appeared!
Lu Qing's curses were quite loud. Lu Zhou nervously looked around, and thankfully no one was looking at him. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Song gave half of her share of the pancake to Lu Qing, saying, "Father, your daughter-in-law has a small appetite and can't eat that much. Please help share some of it."

The grandchildren nearby also gathered around, some of them finding large leaves to fetch some water, because the flatbread was too dry and had to be eaten with water.

Lu Qing didn't take it, glaring at me with a huff, "Eat it yourselves, what are you giving me?"

He knew the children's filial piety, but there was only so much food distributed, how could he eat more?

In the Lu family, the old man was the oldest, and he had suffered in prison, which saddened the younger generation.

Gu Xingzhao had been busy all day and went upstairs to check on things. As soon as he arrived in the ancient world, he saw the old man blowing his beard and glaring at him.

What's going on now?
She didn't say anything, but moved closer and saw her youngest granddaughter, Lu Youtang, leaning against Lu Qing with red eyes, clearly having just cried.

“Grandfather, please eat. We all know that they don’t give you anything to eat in those prison cells. You must be hungry…”

The others chimed in, "Grandfather, please eat."

"Yes, Father, this is all from your children to show their respect."

Lu Qing stroked his white beard and comforted his granddaughter, "Although those people don't give Grandpa anything to eat, our Lu family's ancestor who ascended to heaven a hundred years ago has been showing his spirit and has been sending Grandpa food all along!"

Gu Xingzhao laughed. How could these people believe Lu Qing's words?

After the crowd dispersed, while warming themselves by the fire, Lu Yang sighed, "Father, why did you have to bring up such a ridiculous thing as ancestral miracles just to appease You Tang?"

My daughter is ten years old this year, how could she still believe in these things?

No one else believed it either, thinking that the old man was just coaxing his granddaughter.

Looking at his son and daughter-in-law, Lu Qing said earnestly, "I'm not just trying to appease You Tang. Our Lu family ancestors have indeed shown their power."

He told his son and daughter-in-law about his experiences in prison over the past few days, repeatedly emphasizing how the ancestors of the Lu family had appeared to him and sent him food and medicine to heal his wounds.

The group exchanged glances, then chuckled dryly and replied, "We never expected that our Lu family ancestor would actually appear. It's truly a blessing from heaven for our Lu family."

"Yeah yeah……"

Seeing that they believed him, Lu Qing took a bite of the flatbread in his hand. It was cold and hard, and he immediately remembered the flatbread his ancestors had given him on the day they appeared to him—fragrant, soft, and melt-in-your-mouth…

I was imprisoned at the time and had no time to think about it, but now that I think about it carefully, the food my ancestors ate was truly a delicacy I had never tasted before.

But since last night, my ancestors haven't come to see me. Could it be that I have offended them in some way?
Lu Qing was a little uneasy. He had just told his son and daughter-in-law about the ancestral manifestation without thinking. He wondered if the ancestors would blame him if they found out.
Gu Xingzhao laughed and said, "I won't blame them, but they won't believe you if you tell them that."

Hearing the familiar voice, Lu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, but when it came to whether he believed it or not, he was full of confidence: "My ancestors may not know, but my sons and daughters-in-law have always respected me, and they believe everything I say without a doubt."

Behind him, Lu Zhou whispered to his wife, Song, and his younger brother, Lu Yang, "Father has probably suffered a shock and developed hysteria. We need to keep an eye on him these next few days."

Lu Yang: "My father is getting old after all."

Mrs. Song sighed, "Father has suffered."

If he hadn't suffered in that imperial prison, how could he have uttered such self-comforting nonsense as the manifestation of his ancestors?

Gu Xingzhao almost burst out laughing; the Lu family's children were indeed adorable.

She looked at Lu Qing with amusement, observing the old man's reaction, "But they're saying you have hysteria and they need to take extra care of you." Lu Qing's face turned red and stung: "..."

He turned and glared at his sons and daughters-in-law, saying that they didn't even care about saving face for their old father in front of their ancestors.

Gu Xingzhao found the old man adorable. She gave Lu Qing the prepared wound cleaning medicine and anti-inflammatory medicine, saying, "I see you have quite a few injuries on your back. Find someone to come over, and I'll teach you how to use these medicines."

Lu Qing's gaze swept over his son and daughter-in-law, and finally he called over his eldest grandson, Lu Xingyao.

Lu Xingyao looked at the things in front of him and, upon learning that they were medicine for treating wounds, asked in surprise, "Grandfather, where did these things come from?"

He looked at his grandfather and realized that he didn't think he could hide so many things. The cloth used to bandage the wound was spotless white, and this roll of stuff, in particular, could stick to the skin as soon as it was torn open, and it was even better than the best glue!
The Lu family used to be a prominent family in the capital, with excellent food, clothing and daily necessities, but he had never seen these things before.

"Good stuff, huh? Someone gave it to you."

Seeing his grandson's reaction, Lu Qing felt smug. He was the most composed grandfather, unlike these younger generation who were so easily agitated by the gifts bestowed upon them by their ancestors.

But he didn't explain much, lest even his grandson think that his grandfather was delirious.

Lu Xingyao didn't ask any more questions. His grandfather used to hold a high position in the court and had a wide network of connections. Presumably, some important person had asked the officials who escorted him to give it to him.

Gu Xingzhao laughed. This old man was quite competitive, but he couldn't blame his son and daughter-in-law for not believing. After all, he wouldn't believe in ancestral miracles if they happened to him.

After treating the sticky wounds, Lu Qing felt much better and took out the remaining half of the rough cake to eat.

Gu Xingzhao glanced at the flatbread, looked around, and saw that many people were also only holding one flatbread. "You've been walking all day, and this is all you've eaten?"

Lu Qing swallowed the mouthful of food in his mouth. "Our ancestors didn't know that in the desolate wilderness, it was already a blessing to have a flatbread to fill one's stomach."

Besides, they are still guilty, so there's no reason to criticize them.

Gu Xingzhao frowned. Three thousand miles, even if he walked like this every day, it would take at least four months. How could his body withstand such a small amount of food?

She originally thought that as long as she prepared medicine and some warm clothes, it would be enough. Now it seems that she also needs to prepare food.

"Wait for me a moment."

Lu Qing: "?"

A short while later, Gu Xingzhao returned, carrying a bag of compressed biscuits, a bag of bread, Snickers bars, and several portable thermos cups filled with hot water.

She placed the food in front of Lu Qing, saying, "A single flatbread won't keep you full. Make do with these for now, and I'll bring you more food tomorrow."

As she spoke, she demonstrated to Lu Qing how to use the thermos again, "I've filled it with hot water, so it won't get cold even by tomorrow morning. It's cold, so you can share it."

That way, you won't have to drink the cold river water and risk getting an upset stomach.

Lu Qing stood there, his eyes stinging, but his heart was warm. He hadn't expected that his ancestors would even consider such a small thing as hot water.

He immediately knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face, his voice full of gratitude, "On behalf of all the descendants of the Lu family, I thank our ancestors."
