Lu Qing looked calm, but he was actually embarrassed in his heart. He thought that the ancestors had killed all three people. It was really disrespectful for him to speculate about the ancestors like this. He didn't know if the ancestors would be unhappy about this?
He coughed twice, "It's not advisable to stay here for long, Xingyao, leave with grandpa."
Lu Xingyao looked left and right, and always felt that there seemed to be a lot of things missing in this room, "Grandfather, this room doesn't seem to be so empty."
Lu Qing: "?"
Lu Xingyao touched his chin, "I remember there were two strings of copper coins hanging on both sides of the bed, and there were several porcelain-like ornaments on the shelf in the corner!"
Gu Xingzhao stuffed two strings of copper coins in her pocket and held a bunch of rare treasures in her arms. She pursed her thin lips into a line and stared at Lu Xingyao who was chattering. The young man had a good memory.
Lu Xingyao: "And on that table, I clearly remember there were two jade paperweights, and a purple clay inkstone is also missing!"
Lu Qing looked around and found that it was just as his grandson said, there were many things missing in the house, and all the valuable items were gone.
But he didn't remember if the things had always been there, so he glanced at them and thought that maybe someone had just taken them away.
Lu Xingyao lowered his voice, "Grandfather, do you think that our ancestors took..."
"Nonsense!" Lu Qing interrupted his grandson and scolded him coldly, "My Lu family's ancestor was a fairy, respected and virtuous, and he even looked down on the offerings outside. How could he do such a sneaky thing!?"
He frowned and was very dissatisfied with his grandson. Who was the ancestor? How could he make random guesses?
Gu Xingzhao lowered his eyes and glanced at the things in his arms, silent: "..."
Why do I feel guilty for letting down the old man?
Lu Xingyao frowned, "But I clearly remember it was there just now..."
If he hadn't been holding so many things in his hands, Gu Xingzhao really wanted to give Lu Xingyao two thunderbolts: The house is not yours, why do you remember it so carefully?
Lu Qing knocked the ground twice with his cane, only to find that the cane had cracked and half of it was almost broken. He immediately signaled his grandson to come and help him.
Lu Xingyao didn't bother about the missing things in the house anymore. He stepped forward to help the old man to go out. Lu Qing looked down at the road and suddenly found that the knives dropped by the two personal attendants on the ground were gone?
Suddenly realizing that his grandson's words were true, Lu Qing: "..."
No, no, no, why do ancestors need people? They must have other uses for these things!
Thinking back to the time when the ancestors took a piece of clothes from Xingyan, Xingyan turned around and didn't feel so weak.
Lu Qing nodded repeatedly. It was the work of the gods. There were many ways in it. How could ordinary people like us understand it?
Gu Xingzhao silently hugged the baby in her arms, feeling more and more guilty. She ran away in embarrassment, because Lu Qing had praised her too much.
If she continued to listen, she would be ashamed.
…
The strange celestial phenomenon disappeared, but the people still surrounded Yu's mansion for a long time and refused to leave. They did not leave until the government came to drive them away.
When Du Hangwu stood up, his knees were aching. He pulled the sword on his waist and looked at the grandfather and grandson of the Lu family. His eyes changed and he was no longer as bossy as before.
On the way, Lu Qing hesitated for a long time and said, "Lord Du, we can't stay in Laiyuan Town for long. I think we can hurry on
the road tonight when there is no snow." According to what Yu Heng said, the Prince of Su was on his way here. If they set off to the north at this time, they could avoid each other.
But these things could not be told to Du Hangwu. Today, Du Hangwu sent himself here because he was worried about the power behind Yu Heng. If he knew about the Prince of Su, it was hard to guarantee that he would not send himself to the Prince of Su to seek credit in exchange for glory and wealth.
Du Hangwu must be dissatisfied with leaving Laiyuan Town overnight, and he would definitely refuse, but it didn't matter, he had already thought of how to persuade him.
But to Lu Qing's surprise, Du Hangwu not only didn't ask any more questions, but also agreed, and his attitude was unusually good. When crossing the stairs, he even helped Lu Qing. After sending the person to the door of the house, Du Hangwu turned around and told his men to pack up, organize the team, and set off overnight.
Lu Qing's cane was completely scrapped. Lu Xingyao supported his grandfather and was escorted back to the previous house, waiting for the team to gather and set off.
Lu Qing patted the back of his grandson's hand, "We haven't seen each other for a whole day, your father and mother must be very anxious, you should talk to them later."
Lu Xingyao nodded, "Grandson understands, I will tell my father and mother what happened today later."
Now the appearance of the old ancestor in the family is no longer a secret. Either it is guessed or it is unbelievable from the bottom of my heart. Judging from Du Hangwu's reaction, he is obviously convinced that there is a god
in the Lu family. Lu Qing thought that the Lu family might not have to be as secretive as before, but he didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
He sighed slightly. When he saw the official unlock the door, he immediately thought of his sons and daughters-in-law who must have been worried about him all day. He felt warm and comfortable in his heart. Although they suffered, the family could still be together, which was a blessing in disguise.
The moment the door opened, Lu Qing's smile froze on his face. In the room, the second son and daughter-in-law were teasing the little granddaughter, the eldest son and daughter-in-law were whispering and laughing from time to time, the third son closed his eyes and rested, and the clansmen were even more happy for the New Year.
The old man, who was nearly seventy years old, felt very disappointed.
Lu Xingyao was also stunned. He turned his head to look at his grandfather. The family members didn't seem to be in a hurry.
Lu Qing coughed twice, "Cough-cough cough!"
The people who heard the noise in the room raised their heads and looked at the door. Song stood up first, smiling, "Father, you are back!"
The couple walked in two steps, one holding the old man and the other pulling his son into the house.
The clansmen all came over, and their faces couldn't hide the joy.
Being surrounded by people who were asking about his well-being, Lu Qing felt a little better. He stroked his beard with a smile and said earnestly, "Something happened today. It's not very important. I'll tell you about it later..."
Lu Zhou and Song looked at each other and said with a smile, "Father, if your matter is not important, we can talk about it later. But I have something important to tell you."
Lu Qing and Lu Xingyao looked at each other. They were staying in this room today. What could be a big deal?
Lu Zhou took out three notes from his sleeves and showed them to Lu Qing one by one. "Today, you didn't come back for a long time, so we thought about saving you. Unexpectedly, the ancestors came and knocked down my second brother!"
Lu Qing was shocked, and Lu Xingyao exclaimed, "The ancestors came!?"
Song nodded repeatedly, "They left some food and these three notes!"
Lu Qing read the notes and felt warm in his heart. He didn't expect that the ancestors would still consider sending food to their family members, but didn't tell him about such a thing.
"Have you thanked our ancestors?"
"Of course, we bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to thank our ancestors."
Lu Qing nodded, very satisfied. Lu
Xingyao, however, felt something was wrong and asked Lu Zhou, "Father, why did our ancestors kill my second uncle?"
Everyone in the room: "..."
