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

Chapter 48 The Glowing Cane?

Not to mention Lu Zhou's surprise, Lu Qing was also shocked and hadn't recovered yet.

After realizing what had happened, he gripped the new walking stick tightly, his heart pounding with emotion. It was a gift from his ancestors, placed directly into his hands…

He didn't even look at what the cane looked like, but he held it in his hand and couldn't bear to put it down.

Suddenly, he seemed to understand his second son's feelings.

Gu Xingzhao blinked, his gaze puzzled: How does Lu Yang feel?
[Lu Yang, the ward, is extremely proud of being struck by lightning by the host today, and takes great honor in it.]

The system even replayed for Gu Xingzhao the scene from earlier that day when Lu Yang was being chased by Lu Qing and hid behind Lu Xingyan.

"Pfft..." Gu Xingzhao almost burst out laughing. How could someone be so happy after being struck by lightning?
In the scene, Lu Yang looked smug, as if he had obtained some rare treasure.

She shook her head repeatedly and looked at Lu Qing, "I saw that your previous cane was broken, so I'll get you a new one. It's adjustable in length. See if it's easy to use. If the height isn't right, I'll adjust it for you."

For a walking stick to be easy to use, it also needs to be the right height, so she bought one that was retractable and had small anti-slip corners at the bottom.

After listening to his ancestor's words, Lu Qing put the cane on the ground to test it. The cane was not heavy but had a great weight to it. He didn't know what material it was made of, but it felt very good to the touch, much better than the previous one.

He held it in his hand, reluctant to put it down.

Lu Qing: It was just a convenient gift. I am very grateful to my ancestors for bestowing it upon me. I will cherish it as my own life.

As long as the cane is there, the person is there; when the cane is gone, the person is gone.

Gu Xingzhao suppressed a laugh. It was just a cane, but the old man's reaction made it seem like he had obtained an imperial sword.

"If it fits well, that's fine. There's a protrusion at the bottom of the handle; you can press it to see."

Lu Qing was puzzled, so he reached down and found a protrusion below the handle. Following his ancestor's advice, he pressed it down... A beam of light shone from the head of the cane, instantly illuminating nearly half a zhang of the path in the pitch-black night!

Seeing everything before him, Lu Qing gripped his cane tightly, not daring to blink. The light before him was very bright, like daytime, just like when the ancestor treated Liu Xiangbai in the village last time, but it seemed to not shine as far or over as wide.

"!!!" Lu Zhou's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. The Lu family members next to him caught a glimpse of this and also widened their eyes, wondering if they were seeing things, and rubbed their eyes hard!
Good heavens! Am I seeing things? It's clearly night, but it looks like it's dawn!?

The key issue is that only the old man's area is illuminated?
Seeing a light as bright as day in the dead of night made Lu Qing extremely nervous, afraid of being discovered by anyone other than the Lu family.

Lu Qing: Ancestor... did you use magic?

Gu Xingzhao laughed, "I guess so. The mountain road is rugged and it's dark at night. You need light to see the road clearly."

When she bought it, she specifically chose a smart cane for the elderly. The cane handle has a small flashlight embedded in it. Pressing the switch will illuminate the light, and the flashlight head can also be adjusted. At this moment, the light shines on the ground. Although it is not very bright, it can illuminate the road about one meter ahead. There is no need to worry about not being able to see the stones that trip you in the dark at night. It is just right for Lu Qing to use now.

Looking at the light before him, Lu Qing felt reluctant, but still said, "Ancestor, please take back your magic."

Gu Xingzhao was slightly taken aback. "What's wrong?"

Judging from Lu Qing's expression, he didn't seem very keen on using the small flashlight.

No way... a cane that lights up! The old man doesn't like it? If there weren't TV stations or anything like that in ancient times, she would have even wanted to buy the one with a radio. She saw an old man in town using one last time. He said his granddaughter bought it for him, and he walked around the park twice before going home. All the other grandpas and grandmas were so envious.

Gu Xingzhao had already planned it out. When the old man arrived in the north, he would get him a four-wheeled vehicle. There was an old lady in his town using one. At night, the wheels even had LED lights, and an old man would ride in the back. It was so cool!

I just don't know if the old man will be able to accept this new thing...

Lu Qing sighed, wondering how much his ancestors had considered for him: "Ancestors, it's dark at night, and this light is too bright. Anyone who looks here can see it..."

Such a treasure will likely cause a lot of trouble.

He had already troubled his ancestors so much today, and he really dared not cause them any more trouble.

Having understood the old man's concerns, Gu Xingzhao laughed out loud, "It's just a light to guide you. Since I've given it to you, just use it. Why worry about the trouble? If anyone covets it, the heavenly lightning won't be blind."

Lu Qing was stunned. This...

Seeing that Lu Qing was still hesitant, Gu Xingzhao's smile faded, and his tone became serious and displeased, "Don't you think I can't protect you?"

Lu Qing was so frightened that he hurriedly explained: "Please forgive me, my ancestor! I had no such intention!"
Our ancestors were deities with the ability to communicate with the heavens. I am already grateful to have received their protection, so how could I dare to question them?

Gu Xingzhao was very satisfied. "Use it."

"It's getting colder at night, and it's likely to snow heavily again later. The hand warmers I gave you earlier probably won't be enough. I also brought some other warm clothing, which I'll give to you when the team rests."

"When the time comes, have someone send Du Hangwu a piece of clothing and some hand warmers, and teach him how to use them."

“Once Du Hangwu puts it on, and the officials also start using heat packs, then you can put on those clothes without worrying about what others will say.”

Hearing Gu Xingzhao's words, Lu Qing's throat tightened and his eyes stung.

Our ancestor always spoke casually, seemingly giving things away lightly, but in reality, she was always thinking of the Lu family. She would send clothes when the weather turned cold, and when her walking stick broke, she would send it again in the middle of the night without us even asking. She even provides light for us to travel at night now...

Lu Qing was grateful for his ancestors' thoughtfulness. Because of the careful care and concern he received, he felt as if sand had gotten into his eyes, making them water.

Meanwhile, the Lu family members around them stared intently at the light in front of Lu Qing, filled with envy. Their ancestor treated the old man so well; they wondered how they could receive such treatment and have their ancestor personally perform a spell.

Lu Zhou was also envious at this moment, but after thinking about it, he realized that he had a note written by his ancestor!

Lu Xingyan carried a safety buckle and a small porcelain bottle, but he was not envious.

Lu Yang said he wasn't envious. If we're talking about who's better, he's the only one in the entire Lu family who's been cleaved by the ancestor and had a note personally stuck on his head. Not everyone gets that honor!
Standing to the side, Mrs. Xu could tell what her husband was thinking from his expression. She sighed inwardly, tightened her grip on her daughter's hand, and held onto a sliver of hope... that her daughter would not grow up to be like her father.

At this moment, people other than the Lu family had already noticed the light in front of Lu Qing!
"Look! What is that!?"

I also want a four-wheeled electric mobility scooter that flashes colorful lights...
