I have been farming since I crossed over.

Yang Mingxi listened to the Yang family's discussion from under the window of Old Man Yang's room in the main house, tears streaming down her face. To avoid being discovered, she had returned to the new house early. So she didn't know what happened to the Yang family later, but it was definitely not a bad thing.

Returning to the new house, Yang Mingxi walked straight to the makeshift shed and found Uncle Wu busy at work. A smile spread across her face as she whispered, "Uncle, my grandparents are planning to build a few houses and then move out. If you have time, could you please go talk to my grandpa and learn more about the details?"

After hearing this, Uncle Wu's eyes flashed with surprise, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just nodded slightly to show his agreement. He replied calmly, "Okay, I'll go talk to the old man about this tomorrow. But why are you the only one here first?"

Yang Mingxi explained with a smile: "My brothers have other things to do, so I came over to tell you about the situation first." After she finished speaking, her eyes revealed a firmness and confidence.

Uncle Wu looked behind Yang Mingxi and didn't see anyone else. A hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes and he asked, "Why didn't the Lu family kid come over?"

Yang Mingxi smiled and said, "He had something to do today and didn't come to dinner. Did your uncle need him for something? I'll have him come to see you tomorrow."

Uncle Wu looked at his niece. She'd suffered so much as a child, and now everything was fine, except for her emotional state. Why was she so slow? The Lu family kid was clearly interested in her and was watching her closely, but what about Yang Mingxi? She seemed fine, even having a good business conversation with her. Why wasn't there anything else going on?

The boy from the Lu family looks like he comes from a big family. He is a nice person. As long as his family is not too bad, he can still be a good match for Xier.

Uncle Wu looked at Yang Mingxi without saying anything. After a while, he casually said, "It's nothing. I just see him following you every day, but I didn't see him today. Is that a bit strange?"

She hadn't said she hadn't felt anything, but after Uncle Wu explained it, Yang Mingxi realized it was indeed the case. No wonder she had felt like something was missing tonight. It turned out Lu Jintang hadn't come.

Yang Mingxi pretended to be calm and said, "She's not related to me. Why is she following me around every day? Go ahead and do your work, uncle. I'm going to rest now."

Uncle Wu looked at the sky. Are they going to rest now? It was just getting dark, and most people were probably still eating! He looked at Yang Mingxi, who looked a little unhappy, and said, "Okay, you've been tired for a while, go rest! Come over here, I'll tell him."

Yang Mingxi waved and left.

Yang Mingxi returned to her makeshift shed. Dragging her exhausted body, she sank limply onto the bed, her eyes hollow and lifeless, as if she had lost her soul. She stared at the ceiling, wondering what she was thinking. After a long, long time, she finally stood up, tidied herself up briefly, and lay down again, closing her eyes and lying quietly on the bed.

For some reason, Yang Mingxi, lying in bed, couldn't concentrate on anything. Her thoughts kept coming back to her, and she even thought about Lu Jintang eating and drinking with his friends. Finally, she felt a headache coming on, and she slipped back into the space.

The space had completely transformed. The original land had doubled in size, and golden rice awaited harvest. In the breeding area in front of the bamboo house, eggs were scattered everywhere, laid by chicks and ducklings. Later, Yang Mingxi suddenly realized that she only needed to raise animals for the first time, and she could continue to collect the output. For example, after raising chickens for the first time, she collected a box of eggs and started raising ducklings. However, the chicks she had raised were still there, and she could now collect the same number of eggs and duck eggs every day.

After Yang Mingxi collected the chicken and duck eggs, she harvested the rice and then planted the rice. Yang Mingxi felt that it took about the same amount of time as before, but she did obviously more things than before.

Back in the bamboo hut, I looked at the big screen. Oh my goodness, it had changed too. The weather forecast and the borrowing button at the top remained the same, but the four functions below had become noticeably larger. Upon closer inspection, I saw that each function had been upgraded by at least three levels. Perception had reached level 11, Precognition had reached level 6, and the other two had each reached level 3. No wonder I felt like I was doing things faster than before.

Looking at the small boxes, the daily number of chicken and duck eggs has also changed. It used to take 20 days to fill a small box, so if I came in every day, that would be 5 eggs a day. This time, I've only been in for four days, so I should have 20 eggs, but there are 40 eggs sitting in the small boxes. It seems the farm's production rate has increased, more than doubled.

Daozi's small box also showed that there were 40 units. This was consistent with the space prompt. From now on, I should come in at least once every three days. Yang Mingxi cleaned up the space, took a shower, and then left.

After leaving the space, he lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

On the Qianhuang Mountain side, Lu Jintang had a meal with all the people in Qianhuang Mountain. Looking at many familiar faces, Lu Jintang had a complicated expression.

He recalled the brief but fulfilling years he had spent with these people. Due to many reasons, he had not been able to go to the Northwest battlefield for a long time, only three years in total! Seeing these people, those days of fighting side by side together seemed to be right in front of him.

They had undergone rigorous training together, and every morning when they opened their eyes, they were greeted by an intense and fulfilling training schedule. They learned from each other and constantly improved their skills. Every fight was a life-or-death struggle, but also an opportunity for mutual growth.

When facing an enemy, they charge without hesitation, disregarding life or death, with only one goal in mind: to kill their opponent. Their resolute determination and ruthlessness make them invincible on the battlefield.

However, life isn't just about fighting; it's also about sharing joys and sorrows. They cheer after victory and encourage each other after defeat; they support each other in difficult circumstances and laugh and play together in their spare time. The years they spent together, whether happy or sad, have become precious treasures in their lives.

Now, as he recalled these past events, his heart was filled with emotion. After his grandfather and father were recalled, the 50,000 cavalrymen who had once fought together against the enemy were all disbanded, leaving only about 30,000 ordinary soldiers. They were recruited by the General Zhenbei who had taken over and were stationed in the northwest and north.

Many of the disbanded generals, both big and small, have been scattered all over the world. Lu Liu, Lu Qi, Lu Ba, Lu Jiu and Lu Shi, have been out for so long, and only 300 of the 20,000 were found. Especially the personal guards of my grandfather and father, each of whom had 3,000 personal guards, a total of 6,000 people, but none of them have been found so far. I heard that they were hunted all the way after they were disbanded, and then disappeared without a trace.

Once a member of the Lu family joins the army, they will be accompanied by a dedicated personal guard. These personal guards are elite warriors who have been strictly screened and trained. They will become the solid backing of the Lu family members on the battlefield.

The number of personal guards assigned to a Lu family member varied depending on their rank. For example, a Lu family member holding the position of Grand General could command a personal guard of up to 3,000 men. These guards were battle-hardened soldiers with exceptional martial arts skills. They would accompany the general on his side, protecting his safety and playing a vital role in battle.

Lu Jintang had only been in the army for a short time and lacked a dedicated position, so he was assigned a 20-man personal guard. When he later left the army, they followed Lu Jintang out, serving as both personal guards and secret guards, with each team consisting of 10 men. The 10 personal guards (Lu Eleventh through Lu Twenty) stayed with Lu Jintang and his family when they were placed under house arrest, leaving only Lu Jintang behind when he was released. Lu Da through Lu Shi were secret guards, following Lu Jintang throughout his journey out of the capital. The first five served as personal protection, while the remaining five were assigned by Lu Jintang to rescue the implicated cavalry.

Lu Jintang was recalling and pondering, and suddenly he thought of Yang Mingxi, a little village girl, but smart, kind, responsible, and there were many things about her that he himself did not understand, which always attracted him and made him slowly stand up and be full of energy.

Originally, when I came to Qianhuang Mountain, I just wanted to build a house, cultivate some land, and live a quiet life here with my family.

Ever since I met Yang Mingxi, under her influence, I have considered and thought a lot. I really can't give up the ideas that my grandfather instilled in me since I was a child and do everything for ordinary people.

My grandfather often said: The sons of the Lu family can join the army and use their hands and abilities to protect the homes of ordinary people. Or they can retire and use their brains and knowledge to help the people of Nanling live a healthy life.

I have thought this way and done this since I was a child. But when I grew up, I found that the emperor was incompetent and treacherous ministers were in power. How could loyal ministers have a good end?

Many of the like-minded uncles that I knew were exiled or died unjustly. If it weren't for my eldest sister who died to protect my family and the loyal people who leaked the information, how could my family be demoted to commoners and remain intact?
