Lu Yan avoided the broken branches on the ground and walked inside. The cold wind outside was almost unstoppable from the outside, so he could only hide inside.

He continued walking inside until he reached the innermost room.

He saw a child holding a wooden stick, looking at him warily. His clothes were tattered, but one could still tell through the fabric that they were very valuable. His shoes were lost, and he was wearing straw sandals that he had picked up from somewhere. His fingers and cheeks were red from the cold.

There were some black marks on the face, which looked like they were deliberately smeared.

Lu Yan frowned as he watched. He seriously suspected that he might have been frostbitten. His cheeks were red and he might even be sick.

"What are you doing here? Who are you?" The child stared at the man in front of him with vigilance. The man in front of him was well-dressed, and from his clothes it was obvious that he was no ordinary man. Even though he was so scared that his fingers were trembling, he still looked at Lu Yan fiercely.

Lu Yan knew that the other party would definitely not believe him. "I accidentally took the wrong road. Can you take me out?"

"It's very complicated here. I've never been here before. Of course, as long as you take me out, I can repay you." Lu Yan said as he took out a few copper coins from his arms and placed them on the shelf next to him, then stepped back a few steps.

The child rolled his eyes. He hadn't eaten for a long time. If he had these copper coins, he wouldn't be hungry in the next few days.

Lu Yan noticed that there were many marks of beating on the other person's exposed arms.

The boy was small in stature and he carefully took the copper coin. Regardless of whether Lu Yan was really doing this or not, he wanted to give it a try.

Lu Yan: "You just need to take me out, and then I will give you a few copper coins."

"Okay, but you can't come near me. I'll take you out." The boy finally agreed.

Lu Yan nodded. "Of course, I keep my word. Actually, I just came back and don't know the way here. Do you know the Lu family here? Just take me there."

"Lu family? Are you from the Lu family?" The boy looked at Lu Yan.

Lu Yan nodded, "Yeah."

The Lu family is considered a wealthy family in this town and is deeply trusted by the people here. They also have a very good reputation, so he chose to come here when he couldn't find his way home.

Otherwise, if he had gone to another town, he might have died.

"it is good."

Lu Yan clearly felt that the other party relaxed after hearing that he was from the Lu family.

The boy might not have eaten for a long time, and Lu Yan felt that he was very weak.

'Host, I have detected that the other party is now running a high fever, and his body temperature is dropping rapidly. He is also weak. He is still a child and will not be able to hold on for long.'

He turned and walked out first. "Let's go."

The boy followed Lu Yan, keeping a certain distance.

"What's your name?" Lu Yan tried to keep the boy awake, because he himself didn't notice that he was already walking unsteadily.

If he wasn't afraid of being misunderstood, Lu Yan would have wanted to pick the person up and leave quickly.

"Pei Yanche." The young man hesitated and spoke.

"Well, my name is Lu Yan."

The boy was about to fall to the ground the next second, but Lu Yan caught him with his quick eyes and hands, preventing him from falling to the ground.

After catching the other person's body, Lu Yan discovered that the boy was really cold all over as the system said, but his forehead, cheeks, and even his breath were hot.

Lu Yan didn't care about the other person's very dirty clothes. He lifted his cloak and wrapped him in his arms.

Pei Yanche closed his eyes and looked with great effort at the person who was holding him and his face, especially the constant heat coming from the other person that enveloped him.

"It's so warm." Pei Yanche thought before he fell into a coma. He felt the long-lost warmth.

Lu Yan walked quickly towards the Lu Mansion.

"Master, you're back?" Zhi Jing, his companion who had taken care of him since childhood, came over and said, "Master, where did you pick up this child?"

"I found it on the road. Let's go to the clinic and ask a doctor to take a look." Lu Yan carried Pei Yanche into his room and put him on the bed.

Lu Yan pulled the quilt over him and walked out to tell someone to "get some hot water, and keep the stove in the room warm."

The hand warmer fell on the way, and Lu Yan didn't go back to pick it up. He warmed up after entering the house, but there was a child in the room, so he had to ask someone to make the stove warmer.

The doctor came quickly and sat down beside Lu Yan's bed with a medicine box.

Lu Yan sat down and drank tea. The room was warmer and he felt a little hot and thirsty, so he asked someone to prepare tea.

After a careful examination, the doctor came to Lu Yan.

"Mr. Lu, it's nothing serious. You're just a little cold. I'll prescribe some medicine to get rid of the cold. Don't get cold again in the near future."

Lu Yan nodded, "Zhi Jing, send the doctor out."

Zhijing took out a purse from his bosom, gave the copper coins, and left with his men.

Lu Yan stood up and said to the servants in the room, "Go prepare some clothes for the children, and get their shoes and socks ready."

"Yes."

The room finally became quiet, and his cloak was placed on the chair next to him.

Lu Yan personally picked up a wet cloth to wipe Pei Yanche's cheeks clean. "You look so good, no wonder you made your face so colorful, maybe you're afraid of meeting bad guys."

The servants in the house acted quickly and brought clean clothes in a short while. Lu Yan took advantage of the fact that he was sleeping and changed his dirty clothes, and only put on his underwear.

However, he had two valuable jade pendants on him. Even though he was in a very poor state, he was reluctant to sell the jade pendants. It seemed that they were very important to him.

Lu Yan placed the jade pendant on some clean clothes beside him.

Lu Yan stood up and walked out, Zhi Jing had already returned.

"Master, what's wrong with this kid?"

Zhijing is the son of the family's housekeeper. He grew up with Lu Yan and was also his study partner, so the two have a good relationship.

Lu Yan said, "I found it on the road. I felt sorry for him so I brought it back."

Zhi Jing also saw the other person's dirty cheeks and frozen red hands and feet. "I have prepared the medicine. I will send it over when it is ready."

Lu Yan nodded, "Then I'll leave him to your care for the time being."

Zhi Jing: "Don't worry, I will take good care of him."

It has been a long time since there were such young children in the mansion. Lu Yan is the youngest, but he has already gone to school. He is the youngest of this generation.

Now that the little one is here, the mansion should be a little more lively.

Lu Yan's room was occupied by Pei Yanche, and he temporarily lived in the side bedroom of his room. The decoration of the side bedroom was the same as his bedroom, and it was also filled with various collectible items.

Lu Yan even saw several famous paintings. "Things from this time are still very well preserved."

He looked at the bed lying on his side. "Too hard."

After saying that, he turned around and left.
