Wei Xiyin dug up a few more plants to check their roots and found that they all had slight variations to varying degrees. She couldn't tell the difference at the moment, so she wondered whether she should go up the mountain and dig out the vegetables in the field to have a look.

When Xie Ruian heard that the girl was going up the mountain, he tried his best to stop her.

"Girl, why don't you go back first? I'll have someone dig it up from the mountain later." Xie Ruian was worried about the girl's safety. The mountain had not been completely blocked off. Although it looked safe and there were no zombies, what if there were plants that could hurt people?

Wei Xiyin was helpless, "I'm not that weak, you underestimate me." Having said that, she still followed the little girl's instructions and followed her back to the wall.

Because she suddenly thought that there was no need to go up the mountain, she could just dig up vegetables from her yard.

It is raining now and the mountain road is difficult to walk on. It is uncomfortable to get soaked all over. She is not a masochist and she will not go into the mountains to suffer for no reason.

Xie Ruian breathed a sigh of relief.

The two returned to the wall.

The bricklayer had just finished measuring the terrain. He thought that after he issued the drawings, he would have to give them to the girl for review. He might need to make some changes then, so he might as well show the data to the girl first.

It was drizzling outside and there was no place to shelter.

The group returned to the dock and went directly to the blacksmith shop.

Wei Xiyin frowned when she saw the data. "Eight fathoms across, five fathoms to the side. This place is way too small. The house needs to be built bigger, at least five times, no, ten times."

In ancient times, one xun was equal to eight feet, and the length and width of eight xun were only a dozen meters, which is only a little over one hundred square meters in area.

What can you do with such a small house? There’s no room left for two zombies.

She also wants to study animals and plants. I don’t say the research institute should be very grand, but at least it should be large.

What was Chu Yu doing? Didn’t he make it clear to the bricklayer?

The bricklayer explained sheepishly, "Mr. Chu said to produce the blueprints first, but he didn't say what the house was for. I thought it was a duty house for the patrol troops."

It was built right at the entrance of the wall, and no one told him its purpose, so the bricklayer naturally thought it was a duty point.

Wei Xiyin was speechless after hearing this. It was difficult to explain it directly, so she could only say, "It can be considered a duty station, but the area needs to be large. You can include all the ancestral fields next to the west wall in it."

One acre of land is more than 600 square meters, and there are at least three acres of land to the west of the gate. When the time comes, several lookout towers will be built above the wall to mount crossbow carts and observe the situation outside.

In this way, the west lookout tower can be built directly in the institute, and the guards can observe the situation outside while also on duty in the institute.

There are not enough people, so one person can do two things.

"Yes." The bricklayer quickly took the order and took his men to measure the data again.

Wei Ting stood aside without saying a word.

He followed his fifth cousin in as soon as she came in, but since they were talking about serious matters, he didn't interrupt them.

After the bricklayer left, Wei Ting stepped forward and conveyed his eighth cousin's wishes to her.

Hearing this, Wei Xiyin sighed and said, "It's my fault for not paying attention to my sisters. How about this? Starting tomorrow, after everyone goes out to work, let them go to the camp to train. I'll have Qin Shan arrange two people to teach them."

"As for killing zombies, it depends on their future training results. They can't joke with their own lives." The female members of the family should indeed exercise as well.

There were too many things to do, and she couldn't take care of every aspect, so she forgot about it for a moment.

As she spoke, she praised, "That's great, Eighth Cousin. Just tell me what you need."

Wei Ting smiled and said, "It's really good. My eighth cousin has already taken you as a role model."

"Isn't this good?" Wei Xiyin said without thinking, "I actually hope that my sisters can be independent in the future. In their free time, they can embroider and admire the moon at home, and in times of chaos, they can also pick up swords and kill the enemy. In today's world, it's better to rely on yourself than on others."

Wei Ting felt inferior to her. After hearing her words, he wondered whether he should also join the training with everyone.

Since he took charge of the blacksmith shop, he has been busy all day and has very little free time.

It seems I still need to find time to exercise.

Wei Xiyin was still anxious to go home and dig vegetables, and did not notice Wei Ting's thoughts. She asked a few more questions about the materials in the armory, and after getting an accurate answer, she said goodbye and left.

Unexpectedly, before she even walked into the house, she saw Gong Liulang coming back with his men from a distance.

When Gong Liulang saw her, he immediately walked towards her.

Wei Xiyin: “…” I just wanted to dig some vegetables to take a look, why are you making so much trouble?

Wei Xiyin sighed and invited people into the yard.

"The girl sighed as soon as she saw me?" Gong Liulang said in a cold tone, "Why? Do you think I can't find the salt mine?"

Come on, judging from the tone, he must have found it.

The problem is that she has no manpower left at the moment.

Wei Xiyin straightened her expression, saying, "Sixth Young Master, what are you talking about? I'm bothering you to lead the people out personally. I naturally believe that you won't return empty-handed."

Seeing that he wasn't wearing any rain gear, Wei Xiyin said, "Then let's go in and talk."

Gong Liulang looked indifferent and said nothing in the end. He followed her into the gate of the old house.

Bai Ri Ning Shuang was not at home, as she was busy with the female relatives. Wei Xiyin did not return to her own yard, but took her to the study to discuss something.

When Uncle Wu heard that the girl had brought Gong Liulang back, he hurried over to check.

When Gong Liulang left a few days ago, it hadn't rained outside, so he didn't bring any rain gear. Now he came back soaked, with rain all over his hair and clothes. He looked a little embarrassed.

But the girl acted as if she was blind and actually brought the man home.

Uncle Wu couldn't help but start to worry. Why did this nice young lady become more and more careless in her behavior?

He had no choice but to show his hospitality and ask someone to send him some clean clothes.

Wei Xiyin said, "Uncle Wu, there's no need to go to so much trouble. Let's just talk for a few minutes and don't waste time." How long would it take for Gong Liulang to finish cleaning up?

Gong Liulang gave her a cold look and said, "Then let's make it short."

"I've done what the young lady asked me to do." He took out an oil-paper bag and placed it on the table. "The map is inside, and the route is marked. The salt mine we found is of high purity and low in impurities. As for the amount of salt in stock, we won't know until it's mined."

Gong Liulang touched his soaked sleeves and said, "But I found that there seemed to be something wrong with the plants. I saw something interesting in the mountains and wanted to tell the girl about it, but now it seems that the girl is very busy. Let's talk about it another day."

Wei Xiyin: “…” When did this guy learn this from Chu Yu? Why does he speak in such a sarcastic tone?

Just let him go out and find a salt mine and help with some work.

Is the resentment so great?

Gong Liulang stood up and said, "I'll take my leave first."

Wei Xiyin held his forehead and said, "Liu Langjun, wait a minute."

"There have been some issues with the plants lately, and I was planning to dig up the vegetables growing in the yard to have a look."

Wei Xiyin looked serious, "What did Liu Langjun see in the mountains? Can you tell me in detail?"
