"Unreasonable!" Lu Jianzhong was furious, flicking his sleeves and saying: "Who do you think I am? Am I the kind of selfish person who only cares about myself? Your grandmother is not my biological mother? Your mother is not my sister-in-law? Your son
Not my grandnephew? Your third uncle is not my biological brother? I don’t swear this oath! You are insulting me! It’s too much!” If he doesn’t swear this oath, what can Lu Mian do to him?
Lu Yan looked at him steadily, his face getting paler and his eyes getting darker: "It doesn't matter if the second uncle doesn't dare, I will come back no matter what." After saying that, he turned to leave, but heard Mrs. Lu say loudly: "Second uncle, you
Kneel down!"
Lu Jianzhong looked at Old Mrs. Lu aggrievedly: "Mother!"
Mrs. Lu had a straight face and said calmly: "Erlang can't ask you to swear, I'll ask you to swear, okay?"
Even if Lu Jianzhong said ten thousand words of no in his heart, how could he dare to say no in front of his son, children and grandchildren? He knelt down in front of Mrs. Lu aggrievedly and raised his hands to the gray sky.
Swear: "Huang Tian is above, I, Lu Jianzhong, swear that I will try my best to protect my family..."
Lu Yan interrupted him: "My mother, my sister-in-law..."
Lu Jianzhong hated him so much that he could only grind his teeth and said: "I will try my best to bring my mother, sister-in-law, nephew, nephew's wife, grandnephew, third brother, and third sister-in-law back to the old house safely, and take them with me
I came back to pick up my brother. But I had selfish motives and violated my oath by telling me..." While hesitating, when he met the cold eyes of Mrs. Lu, he couldn't help but lower his head and said inaudibly: "You told me to die badly."
"Okay!" Mrs. Lu raised her head and looked at Lu Yan majestically and said: "Erlang, good boy, let's go first! Take care!"
Lin Yuzhen walked over to look at Lu Jianxin, looked at Lu Yan and said softly: "Be careful, we will wait for you to come back together." At this time, she believed that Lu Yan's earlier statement that he would not leave them alone was true.
Lu Yan nodded vigorously.
Lin Jinrong walked over with Yilang in his arms and asked Yilang to say goodbye to him. Then he gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't come back, I will never forgive you."
The wind was blowing, the clouds were low, and the night was rising from the horizon. Lu Jian stood in the snow and mud and watched Lin Jinrong, who was sitting on the bullock cart and hugging Yi Lang tightly. Lin Jinrong, who was looking at him attentively, was getting farther and farther away from him. When he heard Yi Lang
Lang suddenly burst into tears, his voice resounding throughout the sky.
This brat never cries unless he cries. Once he has an attack, he is always very difficult to coax and his voice is extremely loud. Lu Yan raised the corners of his lips with a wry smile, and he couldn't help but want to rush after him.
"Second Master, it's almost done." Zhu Jianfu's voice brought him back to his senses in time.
Lu Yan wiped his face and said softly: "Let's go."
The mule cart turned back along the way it came, and groups of people came towards it. He turned around and saw that the figures of the Lu family had been lost in the crowd. He then
Lin Jinrong, mother and son are not visible.
"Second Master, Second Mistress and the others will be fine. Han Gen and the others are following. My wife and the boy are not stupid at all." Zhu Jianfu admired Lu Mian very much. He didn't expect that Wen Wen was weak and taciturn on weekdays.
, and Lu Jianxin and Lu Jianxin can be soft-coupled and hard-coupled from time to time. Lu Yan will make such a choice at this critical moment. Sure enough, the critical moment can see people's hearts, and the master has made the right choice as the heir. The reason is that his attitude towards Lu Yan is
There has been a slight change. In the past, he was fawning and trying to please because of his status, but now he has sincere admiration.
Lu Yan didn't know what Zhu Jianfu was thinking. He only looked at the unconscious Lu Jianxin with worry and said: "My father is seriously injured. I don't know if the family named Qiu in front of me is willing to help. Is there any?"
Good doctor."
"Second Master, isn't there a saying that knows everything about destiny? Maybe the master will wake up later and nothing will happen, and we can go after the old lady and the others." Seeing that Zhuangzi was approaching.
, Zhu saw Fu and ordered the other three servants who were following him: "When the second master goes to ask for help from the master, remember to act polite and polite. Don't make others look so fierce that they dare not let you in."
Those few people all agreed, and Lu Yan tidied up his clothes and hat and went forward to negotiate with the people. At this time, the sky was already dark, and there were not as many people outside Zhuangzi as before, only a few scattered people.
A few groups of people gathered around the fire to warm themselves up and talk. Lu Yan bypassed those people and went to the back door to ask for help. After a long time, someone lit a torch and climbed up the stairs to the wall to take a photo. He said in a rough voice impatiently: "You want hot water?"
Go to the front and don’t come through the back door, otherwise you’ll be stoned to death!”
Lu Yan knew that at times like this, there would be someone guarding the back door. The reason why he was willing to pay attention to him at this time was because he couldn't bear to be thick-skinned. But he was not angry, and he didn't feel that he was rejected or humiliated.
He could only endure it and said with a smile: "Brother, I am the person who asked the owner of the village to facilitate the female family members in the family during the day. My surname is Lu Mingjian and my courtesy name is Minxing. I want to see Master Qiu for some business."
There were two more torches on the wall, as if someone was looking at him carefully by the light of the fire, but the voice of the person who spoke before did not become gentler because of this, and instead became more impatient: "How do you want to be? Already.
I’ve given you convenience, but you’re still not satisfied? Go quickly, go quickly!”
Lu Yan was afraid that he would leave without listening to her, so he quickly told what happened and bowed deeply: "My ancestors are considered to be from a well-known family in Pingzhou City, and the books they have read about sages are not very good."
I have a family, so there is no need to worry that I am a bad person who will do evil things that are ungrateful and ungrateful. I hope that the government will give me a helping hand to save my father. I am very grateful and I will thank you very much in the future!"
The man was silent for a moment and said: "We have heard about your Lu family. We know that you are a serious family. It is a great filial piety for you to come back for my father. But you are not the only family outside the wall. This rule cannot be broken. Once it is broken,
Then we can no longer refuse others. Our family is weak and has few manpower, so we can’t stand it. Doctor, how can there be a good doctor in such a rural place?"
Lu Yan begged again and again, but the man just refused and didn't even bother to report it to the owner. He just said that it was late at night and the owner had already rested. Lu Yan was already desperate, but he heard a young man's voice suddenly ring out.
: "Which Lu family is it?"
Lu Yan's eyes lit up and he hurriedly announced the door of his house clearly.
The young man pondered for a moment and said: "You have a young man in your family who brought plow horses and rice-planting horses to Pingzhou City in the early years. I heard that this man later passed the Jinshi examination..."
Lu Yan couldn't care less about being self-effacing and said hurriedly: "It's just a mere incompetence. The year before last, I went home to guard the system due to the death of my ancestor. Unexpectedly, I encountered this disaster. I hope you can make it easier for me."
I just heard the man whisper a few words to the people around him, and then there was no sound, and even the torch on the wall was extinguished.
Lu Yan stood alone in the cold wind and darkness for a while. No one answered him. He thought to himself that he had done everything he could do, and there would be no results if he delayed any longer. He might as well go somewhere else to try his luck. He made up his mind and turned around.
When he returned, Zhu Jianfu and others were still waiting for him eagerly, but his expression turned pale as soon as they saw him.
Several homeless people watching the excitement were squatting by the fire with their hands folded and talking to each other: "A few military lords knocked on the door today, but they didn't pay attention. Just give up."
Lu Yan felt uncomfortable. When he asked that Lu Jianxin was still alive but there was still no movement, he said, "Let's try our luck elsewhere."
The master and his servants feebly drove up the mule cart and braved the cold wind and moved forward. After waiting for about a stick of incense, they heard someone hurriedly chasing after them, shouting at the top of their lungs: "Brothers from the Lu family in front of us are here.
Stop, stop.”
The person who came was a boy in Tsing Yi who was sixteen or seventeen years old. He smiled and said: "Second Master Lu walked away so neatly! I think I am easy to catch. My master, please go back."
Lu Jian was overjoyed, feeling like he was in a new village. He immediately asked someone to turn the mule cart in the opposite direction. The boy hurriedly said: "If you don't go this way, go this way." He led the way while chattering.
He said authentically: "We can't break the rules. There are so many pairs of eyes outside watching... It was my young master who heard that it was Mr. Lu himself. He knew that the family has always done good deeds, so he specially begged the master to let me chase him out.
, it’s not good for others to see.”
Earlier, Lu Yan secretly muttered that they were willing to keep someone but refused to say anything. Now he understood what was going on. He had no choice but to cooperate and quietly follow the boy around another road and send Lu Jianxin off at a corner door.
Got in.
The person who came out was a young man about 20 years old. He claimed that his surname was Qiu Mingzhen, and he was the second son of the owner of the village. He first ordered his subordinates to carry Lu Jianxin into the wing, and then asked people to arrange food and lodging for Lu Mian and others.
, said apologetically: "We had wanted to help each other earlier, but my father told me the truth, and when this happened, for the sake of the safety of the whole family, I had to be careful and cautious, and I didn't dare to make the decision privately, so I had to do the tactful thing and call Brother Lu
What a joke."
Lu Yan was well aware of the famous families in Pingzhou City, but he was really unfamiliar with the Qiu family. Lu Yan responded with a few words and tactfully expressed his doubts.
Qiu Zhen said with a smile: "My father is not in good health and likes to be quiet, so the children in the family farm when they are busy and study when they are free and do not go out easily." After Lu Jianxin was settled properly, an old man with white hair and beard came out in a moment and said
: "This is my third uncle. He has some knowledge of Huang Qi's art. My father relies entirely on him for medicine. If Brother Lu doesn't dislike it..."
Lu Yan was going to treat a dead horse as a living horse at this moment, how could he refuse? Besides, this man was probably speaking out of self-effacement, and he quickly bowed and thanked him: "Thank you for your help, sir."
Mr. Qiu accepted the courtesy politely and immediately washed his hands and checked Lu Jianxin's injuries behind closed doors. After that, he just shook his head and sighed. Lu Yan asked anxiously, but he couldn't answer: "Everyone knows his destiny. I think he fell down and the back of his head is swollen."
It's a big piece. I don't know what's inside, let alone whether he can survive it. It depends on his own luck." He added: "I'm going to say something ugly first. The people I saw falling off their horses earlier were lacking.
Many have broken arms and legs, and some have been paralyzed ever since. Your Majesty is old, fat, and unprepared. He fell very hard, and I'm afraid it's a disaster. If it doesn't happen, you can't blame me."
Lu Yan said sternly: "How can I dare to do such an unjust thing if I haven't repaid my life-saving grace? I'll just do it."
The decoction was poured down, and the golden needle was pricked. At dawn, when Lu Jian was drowsy, Lu Jianxin finally took a deep breath.
Lu Yan breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly stepped forward and asked him: "Father, what's wrong with you? Does your body hurt?"
But Lu Jianxin just looked at him with wide eyes, his throat was ringing loudly, and he couldn't say a word.

I'm really sorry. It was too late last night and I didn't finish the draft, so I didn't set the time to update. As a result, I was caught in a meeting until 11 o'clock this morning as soon as I entered the office, and I had to postpone it until now...
If there are no accidents, there will probably be more updates. Keep praying for pink. Thank you everyone. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian () to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest support.
