I have been farming since I crossed over.

This inn is the largest inn in Meihe County, with twenty independent rooms and large bunk beds.

Mr. Zhang, who joined the group ten days ago, had no one to escort the goods on the road. Seeing that there were many male members of the Lu family, all of whom were skilled in martial arts, he took the initiative to ask them to help escort the goods to Meihe County. The escort fee was 100 taels, and food and accommodation were provided throughout the journey.

Since they happened to be going the same way, escorting was just a matter of convenience. The eldest grandson Lu Jinyan said he was willing to try it out, which would be a good opportunity to accumulate experience for other things, so he agreed.

Along the way, he brought several brothers and nephews to help escort goods in exchange for food for his family.

In the lobby of the inn, Old Master Lu was sitting at a table, drinking tea and glancing outside from time to time, obviously waiting for someone.

When he met Hu Buyan who came to greet him and his group yesterday, Old Master Lu knew that he would definitely see someone familiar today.

After arriving at the inn, I washed up quickly and went down to the hall to sit and wait while drinking tea. No matter who called me, it was no use.

As the sun gradually sets, the waiters in the inn have begun to busy themselves with setting up the tableware and serving the dishes, preparing for the arrival of dinner.

However, he never saw the person he'd been waiting for, and a sense of loss and helplessness welled up in his heart. Just as he stood up, feeling somewhat lost, and was about to go upstairs to call his wife down for dinner, a tall figure suddenly appeared at the inn's entrance. This figure seemed unfamiliar, but it exuded an undeniable majesty and imposing presence.

At the same time, Lu Jintang also walked to the door of the inn. He cast his eyes in the direction of the figure from afar, and an indescribable excitement surged in his heart.

When he looked closely, he found that the person he had been thinking about day and night and was worried about was actually standing up from his seat tremblingly, as if he was about to fall down at any time.

Lu Jintang hurried over, reached out and quickly supported Old Master Lu who was standing there, and said in a hoarse voice: "Grandfather, I'm late." As he spoke, he knelt down.

Old Master Lu was so excited that his body began to tremble. His voice was even hoarse than Lu Jintang's. He reached out and took the hand of Lu Jintang, who was kneeling in front of him and supporting his body, and said, "It's not...it's not late...get up...get up."

Lu Jintang held Old Master Lu's hand and was frightened by his trembling body. Coupled with his hoarse voice, he could not speak clearly. He was so scared that he quickly stood up, poured a cup of the medicine brewed by Yang Mingxi from his water bag into the empty teacup on the table, handed it to Old Master Lu and said: "Grandfather, what's wrong with you? Drink some of this medicine first to restore your energy." After that, he ignored the etiquette and directly fed the cup to Old Master Lu's mouth, forcing Old Master Lu to drink it.

After drinking a cup of medicine, Old Master Lu suddenly felt refreshed and comfortable. Looking at his youngest grandson who was supporting him, he said, "Tang'er has grown up. Go up and see your grandmother. She's not feeling well."

Lu Jintang reached out to help Old Master Lu, but was rejected: "Grandfather, it's okay. I was just a little excited to see you just now. Let's go!" After that, he took the lead and walked towards the stairs of the inn. His steps were sonorous and powerful, as if he was going to the battlefield.

Lu Jintang also hurried to catch up, and the two of them came to an inconspicuous room on the second floor of the inn. Old Master Lu raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door, saying in a deep voice, "A Xiang, I'm coming in."

"Okay... cough cough... come in." A series of coughs were heard from inside the room.

Old Master Lu pushed open the door, then closed it behind him. He quickly walked to the table, poured a bowl of water, and came to the bedside, saying softly, "Don't be anxious. Drink some water to moisten your throat first." As he spoke, he reached out to help the person on the bed up and fed him the cup of water.

Old Mrs. Lu looked at the teacup being fed to her mouth in surprise, and a warm feeling filled her heart. She had been with Old Master Lu for so many years, but she had never seen him do such a heartwarming thing so unruly. Something must be wrong when things are out of the ordinary. Old Mrs. Lu did not rush to drink the medicine, but asked first: "Ahua, what happened?"

Old Master Lu looked at his wife lying on the bed with a distressed look on his face and said softly, "Drink the water first to moisten your throat." He raised the cup of water to her lips again and this time fed it directly into Old Lady Lu's mouth. After watching her drink it, he put one arm around Old Lady Lu's shoulders and pulled her closer to him, while holding the cup of water in the other hand, he said, "Tang boy is here to pick us up. He's outside the door now."

"Tang'er is here... Is he okay?" Old Mrs. Lu was excited at first, then silent for a while and asked the question that concerned her most.

"Well, it looks good. I'll help you lean against the headboard and let him come in to see you."

Old Mrs. Lu supported herself, took Old Master Lu's hand, moved her body and leaned against the headboard, saying, "Okay."

After Old Master Lu had rested, he stood up, took a stool and sat beside the bed, then said to the door, "Come in."

Lu Jintang, who was waiting at the door, took out the water bag he had drunk from after Old Master Lu entered the room. He gulped down some medicine, tidied his hair and clothes, and then stood straight outside the door, waiting to be summoned by his grandfather.

The doors of the other rooms slowly opened a crack, and everyone listened to the noise outside, but no one came out. They didn't dare to act rashly. This was the Lu family's rule. They had to wait for the order from Old Master Lu or Old Lady Lu before they could come out to see Lu Jintang, the youngest grandson of the Lu family, who had left four or five months ago with the Lu family's hopes.

Lu Jintang also knew what was happening in the other rooms. They were all his relatives, and he also wanted to see how everyone was doing. But the rule of the Lu family was that when returning home from a long trip, one had to see the lady first, and then go see other people.

Lu Jintang stood obediently at the door of Old Master Lu's room, not even turning his head, waiting quietly and listening to the conversation in the room. His panicked mood slowly calmed down.

Hearing his grandfather's message, Lu Jintang stepped forward, slowly opened the door, and closed it. He walked to the bed, knelt down and said, "My grandson is unfilial. I'm late."

"Get up and pour some medicine for your grandmother." Old Master Lu didn't wait for his wife to speak, and while speaking, he handed the cup in his hand to Lu Jintang.

Lu Jintang didn't make any extra moves. He just stood up, took out the water bag he had just poured for Old Master Lu, and poured a cup of medicine directly into the cup that Old Master Lu was holding.

Old Master Lu didn't say anything. He handed the water cup to Old Lady Lu and said, "I just drank a cup of the medicine that Tang Xiaozi brought to replenish my energy and spirit. It worked well. You can have some."

Old Lady Lu took the cup, her eyes fixed on the youngest grandson she had personally raised. As usual, she lifted the cup and downed the medicine in one gulp. And then… then… she was stunned. She'd thought the medicine was unpalatable, but it actually tasted quite good. She immediately felt refreshed and comfortable.

"Pour another cup for your grandmother." Old Master Lu said as he reached out to take the cup from his wife's hand.

But after he finished speaking, his wife held the cup tightly and he couldn't take it away.
