Wu Laoxianer stood up, put the kettle in Wu Gong's arms, straightened his clothes, walked to Lu Wensheng, and said firmly:
"I am Wu Xian, the 38th generation descendant of the Dongchang Wu family. Miss Meng has not abandoned me, so I swear here that I will be loyal to you for the rest of my life. No matter what happens, I will put you first. I am willing to use my life to protect you. As long as you need me, I will do my best and never back down! If I break this oath, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"
Wu Xie and Wu Gong also stood with Wu Laoxian and raised their hands to swear.
"I am Wu Xie, the 39th generation descendant of the Wu family of Dongchang."
"I am Wu Gong, the 40th generation descendant of the Wu family in Dongchang."
"We hereby pledge..."
"Stop, stop, stop! Are you done yet? If you keep doing this, I won't treat you anymore!"
Lu Wensheng felt sad at this moment. He didn't know what he was thinking. His heart was beating like a drum, as if it was about to jump out. He could only pretend to be disgusted and interrupt them.
Then he turned to the sick Wu Xie and said, "Go to bed quickly, why are you coming down?"
With the help of Wu Laoxian'er and Wu Gong, Wu Xie lay down on the bed and said firmly: "Miss, please stay for lunch!"
Lu Wensheng: ...What lady?
After enduring for a long time, he finally opened his mouth to correct her: "My last name is Lu, Lu Wensheng, you can just call me Xiaolu."
Wu Laoxianer and Wu Xie looked at each other and said at the same time, "Okay."
Lu Wensheng thought for a moment and asked, "Mr. Wu, can I go see your treasured things?"
Wu Laoxianer nodded: "Of course, Xiaolu, come with me."
Lu Wensheng nodded to the father and son and went to the east wing with Wu Laoxianer.
Inside the room, Wu Xie looked at the things on the floor. There was a small bag of rice, a bag of cornmeal, and a piece of lard. He said to Wu Gong:
"Go cook. Miss Lu will be kept here for lunch."
Wu Gong nodded, took the things away and prepared to cook, leaving Wu Xie alone in the room to carefully feel the changes in his body.
He had already lost all hope and felt that he would not be able to survive the winter, but fate is always full of drama and unpredictability.
Who would have thought that things would take an unexpected turn for the better! This sudden change rekindled his hope and also made him start to think: since even death can be avoided, then are the ideals and ambitions that were once out of reach no longer just fantasies?

Here, Lu Wensheng followed Wu Laoxianer to the east wing. He first moved a cabinet away, then lifted up the bricks on the ground, cleaned the dirt on top, and revealed a bluestone slab.
Under Lu Wensheng's shocked gaze, Wu Laoxianer opened the mechanism on the bluestone slab and took her into the cellar.
"Ah... this!" A pure craftsman...
Wu Laoxian looked at her eyes widened in shock and said proudly, "Well, you didn't expect it, did you? Although our Dongchang Wu family has declined, we still have everything we need.
This mechanism was set up by my father. If you force it open, it will trigger the self-destruct device, and everything here will be gone."
Lu Wensheng followed closely behind, silent. At this moment, she was completely stunned by the scene before her eyes - it was as if the entire underground space of the Wu family had been completely hollowed out!
Looking around the walls, you can see all kinds of amazing cold weapons hanging on them; and in the center of the spacious hall, there are a wide variety of forging tools and various raw materials.
These weapons are either sharp and piercing, or heavy and steady, majestic. Each one seems to tell of the past glory and honor, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere. Some weapons are inlaid with gems or runes, and they are obviously carefully carved and blessed, making them even more precious.
As for the forging tools, they were all of different sizes and shapes, but all of them were extremely exquisite, from hammers to pliers to whetstones.
The raw materials are also varied, including iron, copper, silver, etc., as well as some rare ores and metal powders. They are neatly piled together, waiting for skilled craftsmen to turn them into amazing works.
Seeing all this, Lu Wensheng couldn't help but sigh: "It's so spectacular!"
She had never thought that a family could have such a large and complete armory and forging workshop. This place undoubtedly embodies the hard work and wisdom of several generations of the Wu family. Standing here, it seems that you can feel the passion and strength of those blacksmiths who worked hard and sweated.
These crossbows, bows and arrows, and knives all exude the breath of time.
"These are treasures passed down from the ancestors of the Wu family." There was pride in Old Fairy Wu's eyes.
Lu Wensheng gently touched a Tang sword, feeling its sharpness.
"Mr. Wu, these weapons are well maintained." Lu Wensheng exclaimed.
Wu Laoxianer said proudly, "This is a skill that has been passed down from generation to generation."
Lu Wensheng looked around, and a feeling of admiration welled up in her heart. She seemed to see the scene of her ancestors fighting bravely on the battlefield.
"Little Deer, if you are interested, I can teach you some archery skills." Wu Laoxianer suggested.
Lu Wensheng's eyes lit up, "Really? That's great!"
Wu Laoxianer smiled and nodded, then took Lu Wensheng to the trial area, picked up a bow and arrow, and demonstrated basic shooting movements.
Lu Wensheng studied hard and gradually mastered the essentials. She drew the bowstring to its full extent, aimed at the target, and shot an arrow.
The arrow hit the target in the distance, and Lu Wensheng cheered excitedly.
"Not bad, Xiaolu is very talented." Wu Laoxianer praised.
