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

Chapter 133 Offering Sacrifices to Gods in the Wild
Lu Xingyao was increasingly dissatisfied with the two items in Lu Xingyan's hands, shaking his head repeatedly. "Also, Third Uncle, these two items are obviously for a young lady to wear. You have no taste at all."

It's more suitable to use it to coax young girls than to offer it to their great and fascinating ancestors.
Lu Xingyan glanced at what his nephew was carrying. Aside from the writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, there were pastries, but why was he also carrying a jar of wine?
"You have a good eye for choosing."

Lu Xingyao was very proud. "Of course, the boss said that this jar of wine is a fine aged wine, and our ancestors will definitely like it."

I reckon even my grandfather would be tempted if I brought it back.

Lu Xingyan fell silent.

Back in the group, the Lu family saw them coming back from afar and waved to them.

Lu Xingyao and the others immediately quickened their pace, "Grandfather! We're back!"

Lu Qing smiled as he looked at them. The clansmen behind him quickly stepped forward and took the things from Lu Xingyao's hands. "Oh! You even bought wine!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qing's gaze fell on the jar of wine. "???"

What do you need the alcohol for?

Lu Xingyao said with a smug look, "Since we have food, we can't be without drink. The shopkeeper happens to have a jar of aged wine, so I'll take it too. I'm sure our ancestors will like it."

Lu Qing: "."

He suddenly regretted letting his grandson watch him buy it earlier. Although he didn't know if his ancestors drank alcohol, he himself was tempted.

"Third brother, what's wrong with you? You only picked out a silver bracelet and a jade pendant. Why didn't you buy a piece of gold?" Lu Yang looked at the two items in Lu Xingyao's hand and clicked his tongue twice, thinking they were too stingy.

In his opinion, his nephew and brother didn't buy anything very good, and he should have gone himself.

Lu Qing immediately looked at his youngest son and saw that the jade bracelet in his hand was very suitable for a little girl to wear, and it would be appropriate to give it to the ancestors. The jade pendant was also nice, fresh and elegant, very good.

It seems that the decision to send the youngest son was the right one.

However, before he could say anything, his grandson spoke up, "That's right, I also said that Uncle San is really confused, picking these two things."

Lu Qing immediately glared at his grandson, "Do more and talk less."

Why take so much money and only buy a jar of wine? Didn't you know to buy another jar?
That afternoon, the Lu family chose a direction, spread a cloth on the ground to make do, and placed the things they had bought on it one by one.

Du Hangwu also came over, greeted Lu Qing, and placed his silver bowl on it. He had bought it with the only silver he had on him, and if the Lu family deity didn't like it, he wouldn't have any more.

Several officials who had asked for help to buy things also put their own things on the table and then stood there waiting, looking very excited.

The Liu family was poor and didn't have anything valuable on them. In the end, they could only take out some small, barely presentable items and put them on the table, thinking it was a token of their goodwill.

The other criminals watched from a distance, wondering, "What are they doing over there?"

"I do not know."

"I just saw the official leading the Lu family away. When they came back, they were carrying a lot of things. Could they have gone to the county?"

"Judging from this setup, they even have candles. Are they going to make offerings to the Lu family's gods?"

"Offering sacrifices!?" "But there's no decent place around here, so you're just putting them on the ground?"

Isn't this an offense against the gods?
Someone called out to the constable not far away, and couldn't help but ask, "Sir, may I ask what the Lu family people over there are doing?"

The official, who hadn't been able to go to Ji County with them and was now stuck here guarding these prisoners, was already annoyed. Being disturbed only made him more impatient. "Can't you see? Offer tribute!"

The prisoners had different expressions. The Lu family really wanted to make offerings to that deity here. Looking at those things, they weren't particularly valuable, just ordinary. What good things hadn't that deity seen? Would he even care about these?
One of the bolder men pulled out a silver lock from his pocket, moved it to the Lu family's house, and quietly placed it in the corner of the cloth.

This was a longevity lock he had prepared for his unborn child, but unfortunately he didn't have time to give it to his wife before he was imprisoned and then exiled. He didn't even get to see his wife on the day he left the capital.

He prayed silently in his heart: May the gods bless my wife to give birth to the child safely and smoothly.

Seeing this, the others followed suit. Although they had previously appeared to be penniless, with only a prison uniform and two flatbreads left, they were now able to pull out something and put it all on that surface.

Everyone was muttering to themselves, asking for all sorts of things.

The Lu family didn't stop them, after all, their own possessions were rather meager.

Lu Zhou, however, felt it wasn't too much. This was his own family's deity; how could it be worshipped by others?
"Father, isn't this inappropriate?"

Lu Qing stroked his beard. "It's alright. Since these people are willing to make offerings, why should we stop them?"

At this moment, Gu Xingzhao, who had just received a system notification, rushed back home and immediately turned on the TV to travel to ancient times. There was a piece of cloth on the ground, neatly piled with things. On the left was a bag of exquisite pastries, a jar of wine, a pair of candles burning, and incense sticks in the middle emitting wisps of smoke.

Gu Xingzhao's system was frantically prompting her to increase her offerings, and she was overjoyed.

There were many different things on it, including longevity locks for children, jade thumb rings, purses, knives, and even wooden combs. She was dazzled by the sight.

"Lu Qing, did you buy all of these?"

Upon hearing the voice of his ancestor, Lu Qing knew that his ancestor had arrived. He explained, "Some of these are gifts from others, and I would like to pay my respects to you to thank you for saving me on my two previous occasions."

Gu Xingzhao smiled, "There's no need to be so polite. There are just so many items, I really can't carry them all. I'll just pick a few at random, and I'll trouble you to return the rest to their rightful owners."

Lu Qing immediately agreed, secretly widening his eyes to see which ones his ancestors would choose.

Gu Xingzhao stood there for a while, feeling a bit hungry. He hadn't eaten lunch yet, so he took two pieces of pastry from the open paper package and ate them. They were soft, sweet, and fragrant, but not greasy, with a faint plum flavor. They were delicious!
Those around gasped, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets. "!!!"

Someone stammered, "There aren't enough pancakes!"

Two plum blossom cakes were missing from the bag that was just full!
At this moment, Gu Xingzhao had already stuffed the bag of plum blossom cakes into the large bag he had brought with him.

Then another exclamation rang in my ears, "It's gone!!!"

"The pancakes are gone!"

"..." Lu Xingyao finally couldn't help but glance at the person. What a fuss! He shouldn't disturb his great and fascinating ancestor.

Next to the plum blossom cakes were the inkstones he had carefully selected, the wolf-hair brushes were not cheap, and there was also a jar of wine.

He's still waiting for his ancestors to see his true feelings!
