Chapter 58 Divine intervention and special care
Seeing what Lu Xingyao had in his hand, the officials were eager to grab it, but they were restrained by Du Hangwu, so they could only turn their attention to their boss.

Du Hangwu nodded. "Mr. Lu, you are very kind. Please thank your grandfather for me."

As he spoke, he gestured to his two subordinates to fetch the items.

Despite his feigned indifference, he had been keeping an eye on the Lu family ever since he saw them set up their tents. However, given the immense power of the Lu family's deity, he dared not show any emotion whatsoever.

I'm afraid of getting struck by lightning again.

If he survived the first strike, it was because the god was merciful; he might not have survived the second.

Du Hangwu's attitude was vastly different from when he was first exiled; he was now so polite it was as if he were a completely different person. However, Lu Xingyao was already used to it. "You're too kind, sir."

He handed the things to the two people who came to pick him up, and then wanted to leave, eager to go back to the tent he had set up.

Du Hangwu, who was behind, examined the item and found it to be quite different from ordinary tents. His two subordinates were completely at a loss. They looked at Lu Xingyao, who had already taken a step forward, and asked with a frown, "Young Master Lu, how do you use this?"

Lu Xingyao had no choice but to stop and turn around to teach them.

However, what happened next left Du Hangwu and the other officials speechless.

Lu Xingyao picked up one of them, pulled it open like an umbrella, gently pushed it up, and a large tent appeared!

Is that a tent?!

Du Hangwu couldn't sit still any longer, so he got up and walked over, examining the tent on the ground closely. Finally, he bent down and crawled inside. It was indeed a good thing, able to protect against wind and snow!

It's much more convenient to open it like Lu Xingyao's tent than a regular tent, and it's also easy to pack up and carry. If we had such a good thing from the start, why would we have to spend the night in the wilderness?

The subordinates beside him were also eager to try, imitating Lu Xingyao's earlier actions, opening and setting up the tent, only to find it effortless, and exclaimed in surprise, "That's amazing!"

Having lived for over twenty years, this is the first time I've ever seen something like this. It's truly an eye-opener!

People nearby immediately crowded around, wanting to get a closer look. They reached out and touched the tent, wondering what material it was made of, but it looked quite sturdy.

"Such a convenient and wonderful object exists, like an umbrella, much more convenient than the marching tents we've seen before."

"I have no idea how it was made; it looks incredibly complicated."

"Whatever, I'm sleeping here tonight."

"Why should I? I still need to sleep!"

"Third brother, you're on night watch tonight, don't forget."

The officers argued over the tent, and some even wanted to fight. They hadn't had a good night's sleep lately due to the wind and rain, and now that they had such a nice place, everyone wanted to go in and sleep.

Seeing that these people knew how to use it, Lu Xingyao ran back without stopping, hoping to get into the tent and get some sleep as soon as possible.

However, when he returned, all five tents were already full of people, leaving only five people to keep watch at night.

He stood outside, completely dumbfounded, "???"

No, they didn't even reserve a single spot for me?
Song, who always doted on her son, was already fast asleep along with Xu and the other women.

Lu Zhou pulled open the tent and poked his head out to look at his son. "Ayao, the elders are all tired. You can keep watch for the first half of the night, and your second uncle will switch with you for the second half."

At this moment, my second uncle was snoring inside the tent.

Lu Xingyao's lips twitched. "Son understands."

If the father has said that, what can the son do?
Lu Xingyao sat alone to the side, thinking of using the charcoal fire to warm his hands, but found that there wasn't even a spark left. His heart was broken.

A bottle of water was handed over; it was from Lu Xingyan.

Lu Xingyao was deeply moved and took the water. "You're such a good person, Third Uncle, coming to keep me company. Unlike my parents, who are already asleep and don't care about me at all."

However, Lu Xingyan said, "You've misunderstood. I just came out for a drink of water." Lu Xingyao: "?"

He stared wide-eyed as Lu Xingyan crawled into the tent at the back. Lu Zhou had opened the tent, and the three brothers and their grandfather were all sleeping inside. The brothers were harmonious, and the father and sons were kind and filial. Only he, the younger generation, was outside in the cold wind.

Lu Zhou glanced at his restless son and said, "Don't talk there, or you'll wake your grandfather up."

As he spoke, the tent was pulled up again, leaving Lu Xingyao only with the sound of wind and snow swirling in his ears.

Gu Xingzhao was in the bedroom, having just finished showering and come out of the bathroom. He was about to go to sleep when he saw this scene and burst into laughter on the bed.

What a poor child.

She thought for a moment, got up and rummaged through the wardrobe, pulled out a scarf and gloves she had bought last year, and teleported to ancient times. Looking at the figure curled up on the ground, she stuffed the scarf into Lu Xingyao's arms.

Lu Xingyao was feeling sad when he suddenly felt something being stuffed into his arms. He looked down and took it out, and saw a long, soft thing. He didn't know what it was for, but the touch was very comfortable.

"!!!" His eyes widened suddenly. A gift from our ancestors!?

There were also two gloves, each with five distinct fingers, and the workmanship was very fine, even better than the ones he had worn before.

Lu Xingyao hurriedly looked around and found that it was quiet all around. The other four people on night watch were also not moving. He suddenly realized that he was the only one left!
Gu Xingzhao smiled, took out a sticky note, wrote something on it, and stuck it on Lu Xingyao's forehead.

Suddenly, his view was blocked by a note. Lu Xingyao recognized it and immediately took it off to read. It read: "It's cold at night. The long ones are called scarves. Wrap them around your neck to keep warm. Wear gloves too, or you'll get frostbite."

Waaaaaah... Lu Xingyao was almost crying.

Even your own father, mother, and grandfather weren't as considerate as your ancestors!

He immediately took the long strip and wrapped it around his neck several times haphazardly, then put the gloves on his hands, and his heart felt warm as a result.

Lu Xingyao felt no longer sad; in fact, he felt a little fortunate and proud. He was glad he hadn't been able to sleep, otherwise he would have missed his ancestors.

This was given to Lu Xingyao by his ancestors, and it is absolutely unique!

Gu Xingzhao frowned as he looked at Lu Xingyao, whose neck was tightly wrapped as if he were about to hang himself. He wanted to say something, but then remembered that Lu Xingyao couldn't hear him.

The man was right in front of her, and he looked like a simpleton. She sighed, squatted down, and took the scarf off Lu Xingyao's neck twice.

Lu Xingyao froze, too afraid to move, watching helplessly as the scarf was pulled away from his neck. "!!!"

The little head was racing with thoughts. Had the ancestors gone back on their word and wanted to take the things back?!

Gu Xingzhao gently crossed the scarf he had taken off in front of Lu Xingyao's chest and tied it, making him look less bulky and even somewhat handsome.

It was the first time she had ever tied a scarf for someone. She squinted at him, her eyes full of affection. Not bad, not bad, much more handsome than those little internet celebrities.

Realizing that his ancestor was tying a scarf for him, Lu Xingyao's ears burned and his face flushed red. His ancestor was so kind.

Not to mention his grandfather, even his father and mother never dressed him like this.

Gu Xingzhao: "?"

No, why are you blushing when I tie a scarf around your neck?
There are tents to sleep in.

Lu Xingyao: Hehe!

The tent was full of people sleeping there.

Lu Xingyao: No, not at all.

Our ancestors appeared and gave us scarves and gloves.

Lu Xingyao: Hehehehehe!!!
