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

Chapter 10 This tastes like meat!
"Why buy so much? It's such a waste if we can't finish it. Here, have two servings. We only have two left."

As Mr. Li spoke, he placed 26 servings of steamed bread on Gu Xingzhao's plate. He was joking, wasn't he? He didn't even have that many in his freezer downstairs. If he wanted to steam them, he would have to run upstairs to get them, which was too much trouble.

Gu Xingzhao was a regular customer, buying breakfast here at least three or four days a week. He knew Mr. Li quite well; he owned a building and collected rent, so he wasn't short of money. He just started a breakfast stall out of boredom, and sometimes when he was too lazy to run it, he would tell customers that he was sold out.

"Uncle Li, stop being lazy and hurry up and steam it for me. I'm in a hurry to eat it."

There are people who open a business and don't make money even if they have it.
Mr. Li: "..." 26 servings of steamed buns, nearly two hundred in total. Is this girl possessed by a starving ghost?

After waiting for twenty minutes, Gu Xingzhao paid, picked up the 26 portions of steamed buns, thanked them with a smile, and went home while munching on a meat bun.

At this time in the ancient world, the exiles had been traveling for more than an hour and were starving. They finally got food from the officials, but each person only got one cake, which was not enough. Some prisoners began to complain bitterly.

The officials didn't tolerate it and simply confiscated the cakes, scoffing, "Does he really think he's some kind of nobleman from the capital?"

"You're lucky to have any pancakes at all, why are you being so picky!"

Some prisoners were indignant and tried to argue, but were whipped several times. Seeing this, the others dared not cause any more trouble. They lowered their heads and ate their pancakes. They could not imagine what the future held and could only live one day at a time.

When Gu Xingzhao arrived carrying the things, he was somewhat troubled.

It's pitch black at night, so it's easier to divide things without anyone noticing. But now, in broad daylight, carrying such a large bag is really eye-catching.

She wondered if Lu Qing could get her something to cover herself up, but after looking around and not seeing anyone, she focused her attention and called out, "Lu Qing, are you there?"

"!!!" Lu Qing, who was squatting on the toilet, suddenly felt his legs go weak and he almost fell to the ground. His ancestors really came at the worst possible time.

Not receiving a response from Lu Qing, Gu Xingzhao was puzzled and called out a few more times, "Lu Qing?"

"..." Lu Qing was helpless, but he didn't want to keep his ancestors waiting, so he could only pull up his pants and wait until he came out before replying, "Yes, yes!"

Gu Xingzhao then noticed Lu Qing. "I brought some food for you. It might be discovered in broad daylight. See if you can find something to cover it up. It will be easier for me to deliver things to you in the future."

Lu Qing pondered for a while before going to discuss it with Changsun. The main problem was that the area was deserted and it would be difficult to find something like a bamboo basket to put things in.

Some prisoners' family members came along, carrying bags or bamboo baskets, but those belonged to others. If they were to ask for them now, some people would inevitably become suspicious...

It's true that even a skilled cook can't cook without rice.

In the end, Lu Xingyan took off his outer garment, casually tied the sleeves and hem together, and used it as a cloth bag.

He was in poor health and had a handsome appearance, so when he entered the prison, the officers couldn't help but feel sorry for him and didn't make things too difficult for him. When they changed him into prison clothes, they even left him an outer garment, which unexpectedly came in handy at this time.

When Lu Qing brought the cloth bag, he explained, "There's really nothing else, just my son's clothes. If it offends our ancestors, please forgive us."

Gu Xingzhao took the cloth bag, examined the material, and recognized it as Lu Xingyan's clothes. "It's alright."

She suddenly realized that if she could bring ancient things back to the modern era, they would be worth a lot of money!
Given the current situation of the Lu family, they can't offer anything of value.

Thinking that she should have finished eating what she ate last night, she took a lot of compressed biscuits and chocolate, which could replenish her energy.

Gu Xingzhao packed the food and medicine into a cloth bag and placed it on the ground for Lu Qing. "Traveling is not easy. If any of the clan members are injured, you know how to use the medicine in this bag." Holding the heavy bag in his hand, Lu Qing couldn't help but feel grateful again.

Lu Xingyao, once a stranger, became more familiar with the old man. Seeing him acting suspiciously, he immediately got up to greet him. The moment he opened the cloth bag, a fragrant aroma wafted out!

Lu Xingyao's eyes lit up, and he almost drooled. This smelled like meat!

Lu Qing himself did not expect that the food given by his ancestors this time would contain meat.

One serving for each person, Lu Xingyao delivered them one by one on an empty stomach, whispering his instructions no less than a hundred times.

The Lu family members all understood that the other prisoners couldn't even get a pancake, and that the fact that someone was secretly sending food to the Lu family must not be revealed. But when they tasted the food, the long-lost flavor of meat brought tears to the eyes of many.

They ate secretly while wiping away tears. In fact, they had been harboring resentment all this time. If the old man hadn't offended the emperor, they wouldn't have had to suffer like this.

But when I saw the old man yesterday, covered in injuries, with wounds of all sizes, all my complaints had quietly vanished.

On the road to exile, although they didn't know where the food came from, they knew how precious it was. The old man was willing to share the meat with them, which showed that he truly regarded them as family.

Many people choked up, but tried to hide it, afraid of being seen.

At this moment, the twenty-six members of the Lu family were truly united as one.

After they had secretly divided everything up, Lu Xingyao was finally able to sit down next to Lu Qing. The grandfather and grandson ate together secretly. When he tasted the steamed bun, he almost cried out. It was so delicious... so incredibly delicious!
How can something be so delicious!
Standing behind the two, Gu Xingzhao saw the old man and the young man sneaking around and laughed out loud. How cute!

Unbeknownst to her, her laughter was clearly heard by Lu Xingyan, who was sitting not far behind her, leaning against a tree trunk.

Lu Xingyao wasn't stupid. He observed the old man for a day and didn't see him come into contact with anyone. Just by walking back and forth, so much food appeared out of nowhere in his bag, and it was still piping hot.

Seeing the mixture of suspicion and curiosity in his grandson's eyes, Lu Qing knew that there would be many more things for his grandson to do in the future, and he couldn't keep it a secret any longer.

He looked around and whispered, "Actually, our Lu family had an ancestor who ascended to heaven a hundred years ago. He recently appeared and sent all of these things."

Lu Xingyao's eyes widened, his mouth agape, unable to utter a word for a moment: "..."

An ancestor of the Lu family appeared to them and even brought them food.
Although the food was delicious, the idea of ​​his ancestors appearing was simply unbelievable, and he was hesitant to believe it.

Seeing his grandson's expression, Lu Qing knew that it was not so easy to believe in ghosts and gods.
Seeing that the old man was about to sigh again, Gu Xingzhao walked up to the two of them, squatted down, and reached out to tug at Lu Xingyao's sleeve.

Feeling a tug, he looked down and saw that his sleeve seemed to be being pinched and pulled. Lu Xingyao thought he was seeing things and rubbed his eyes...

The next second, he saw the water bottle in front of him float up on its own!

"!!!" Lu Xingyao's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

He stiffly tugged at the old man's sleeve, stammering, "Grandfather... I think I saw Great-Grandma..."

(Subtle hint): Ugh, I really want recommendation votes, I really want monthly votes, I want them so badly, I'm frantically wanting them...
