Chapter 99 Disguise

Lu Muren was indeed very worried and disappointed about his current situation.

When his family needed him most, he got injured and had to be taken care of by them, becoming a burden.

Although he knew that it was already a great miracle that he had survived this time, and he was very grateful to his sister Lü Xinyan, Lü Muren still hoped that he could recover as soon as possible and take on the responsibilities of being the eldest son and the eldest brother.

Now, they must continue their journey, and they will certainly encounter various dangers along the way. He may become the weak point of their family, and Lü Muren must also try his best to protect himself and not hold them back.

After thinking in silence for a while, Lü Muren raised his head and continued to say to his father, Lü Daquan, "Father, I was able to save my life and recover thanks to my younger sister's timely treatment. My condition has improved a lot now. I have no fever and can stay conscious. I will try my best to pay attention to the surrounding situation. I will take over the guard duty."

“Although I can’t get up and walk on my own yet, I can still use my hands. Besides, I’m sitting in a stroller. I’ll be on high alert on the way and keep an eye on the surroundings, but it won’t take much of my energy. I can keep watch. You can rest while I’m catching them in the act.”

"If anything unexpected happens, I will call you immediately, so you don't need to worry."

"Since there will be many dangers on the way, we need to be more careful and conserve our energy. It is most important for you to take the time to rest."

Since he was temporarily unable to walk and didn't need to expend much physical energy, Lü Muren rallied himself and decided to share more of the burden with his family so that they could rest better and be in better condition to deal with any potential dangers on the road.

He has rested for so long, he is really not tired and can handle this kind of duty.

Upon hearing what Lü Muren said, Lü Daquan was slightly taken aback.

They had been taking care of Lü Muren as if he were a patient, so they hadn't assigned him any tasks. They only hoped that Lü Muren wouldn't bump into anything while traveling and worsen his injuries.

But now that Lü Muren has spoken up himself, Lü Daquan and the others have to reconsider these issues.

After thinking it over, Lü Daquan still felt that what his eldest son, Lü Muren, said made sense.

The way this family traveled made them a prime target, and they likely faced numerous dangers.

In order to better cope with all of this, they need to stay vigilant at all times and conserve their energy.

After exchanging a glance with his wife Xie Shulan, and seeing that she shared the same idea, Lü Daquan nodded and said to his eldest son Lü Muren, "Alright, Ren-ge, since you're so willing, then you can take charge of the guard duty first."

"Let's eat and rest quickly, and then continue our journey later."

"If anything happens, just call us and we'll handle it. Please don't try to do anything yourself, or you might worsen the injury."

They've been through so much these past few days. They started traveling last night and only got a short rest in the early hours of the morning. They're already exhausted, so they really need to get some rest.

This place is relatively safe for the time being, and it should be sufficient to entrust it to Lü Muren for guard duty.

Upon hearing his father's agreement, Lü Muren's expression relaxed considerably.

At least he is still useful and can still help his family; he is not a complete burden.

Therefore, it is not difficult for him to be responsible for guarding and guarding here; he is fully capable of doing so.

Nodding, Lü Muren smiled and said, "Father, don't worry, I'll handle it."

"At this time of day, not many people should be passing by here, so nothing unexpected should happen. You don't need to worry."

"You guys hurry up and eat and rest. I'll keep an eye on the surroundings."

After saying these words, Lü Muren immediately began to pay attention to the surrounding situation, not being careless, so that Lü Daquan and the others could rest in peace.

Actually, the situation is relatively better during the day; it's at night that all sorts of crimes occur.

Knowing this situation, Lü Daquan and Xie Shulan didn't say anything more and temporarily handed over the duty to their eldest son, Lü Muren.

Seeing that her elder brother Lü Muren wanted to take on the duty himself, Lü Xinyan wanted to help, but she didn't want to hurt his confidence and pride. She could only help when needed and didn't try to stop him from making these decisions.

The eldest brother, Lü Muren, has always been very responsible. He is used to taking care of other family members and sharing the burden of the family, but he rarely enjoys being taken care of by others.

Lü Xinyan understood this, so when she noticed that her elder brother had become more energetic after taking on this duty, Lü Xinyan was happy for him and naturally did not object.

After making the arrangements, Lü Daquan and the others quickly ate something.

At this moment, Xie Shulan looked at her daughter Lü Xinyan again, still somewhat worried.

Although Lü Xinyan had already disguised herself, making herself look withered and ugly, with pus-filled sores on her face, which would make unsuspecting people feel nauseous, Xie Shulan and the others felt very sorry for her when they saw her.

They all hoped that Lü Xinyan could always be beautiful and happy, and they wanted to provide her with a better life to make up for their regrets over the years. However, they had already left Ningshui Village and were on their way to Dongwei County, so they had to be extra careful and could only ask Lü Xinyan to make do for the time being.

Noticing her mother Xie Shulan's worried gaze, and knowing that her mother was looking at the pus-filled spots on her face, Lü Xinyan instantly understood. She shook her head and said, "Mother, you don't need to worry about me. I'm the strongest one in the family now, and I've even learned martial arts. I'm sure I can protect myself and you too."

"I've disguised my face like this to better protect myself and avoid attracting other people's attention. It's fine this way. There's nothing really wrong with my face, so you don't need to worry."

"We don't know what we'll encounter along the way, so it's always good to make these preparations."

"Once we arrive in Dongwei County and settle down, I will remove these disguises and stop scaring you."

"Now, please bear with me and don't keep staring at my face, or you'll all feel disgusted."
