These people were dressed in simple clothes, wrapped in cloth strips, and wearing straw shoes. Their clothes were covered with dust, dirt, and other stains, making them look very desolate and miserable. In contrast, their spirits were very energetic, and their eyes were shining as they stared at them with hostility.

Wei Xiyin noticed the weapons in their hands.

Similar to a spear, it is made of a sharpened bamboo shaft with an iron tip inserted at the sharp top.

It's obviously been remodeled.

It seems that there are still talented people in Qinghe County.

Wei Xiyin said calmly, "We are just passing by here, there is no need to panic."

"However..." She glanced at the young man in the front, "I'd like to kindly remind you all that a large army of monsters is heading towards Zaoqiang. I'm afraid you can't stay here any longer."

Are there a lot of monsters coming?

The people opposite paused when they heard this and looked at each other.

The young man did not let down his guard and asked doubtfully, "How did you know?"

Wei Xiyin answered confidently, "Because I plan to lure them here, through Zaoqiang County, and then to Changshan County."

youth:"………"

Wei Xiyin was afraid that he didn't understand, so she thought for a moment and added, "There are probably hundreds of thousands of them. I don't know how many will come."

“Tens…tens of thousands?” The young man’s face turned pale when he heard that.

The people behind him were in an uproar.

With such a huge number, no grass will grow wherever they pass, and Zaoqiang County cannot withstand it at all.

Wei Xiyin didn't care about their reactions at all and hooked her finger at Chang Ying.

Chang Ying understood and immediately took out the list of relatives and friends and handed it to her.

There were too many things to carry, so apart from the map, he temporarily helped to keep the rest of the girl's belongings.

Wei Xiyin flipped through the list of relatives and friends in front of everyone, "Oh, I came here to look for someone. I wonder if there are any Wei family members here. Let me see. Oh, there are also the Zaoqiang Han family and the Zaoqiang Qu family."

When he heard that she was looking for someone, the young man's eyes immediately became alert again, "What do you want to do with them?"

Wei Xiyin understood. Seeing his attitude, she knew that there must be relatives or friends around.

After several attempts, she simply revealed her identity, "I am Wei Wuniang from the Qinghe Wei family. I am out looking for my lost relatives and friends."

As soon as the words fell.

The young man looked surprised and asked, "Are you from the Qinghe Wei clan?"

"Isn't the Wei family in Ling County in the south? Why did you come here?" Zaoqiang is very far away from Ling County. You should know that if you go further from here, you will be completely out of the scope of Qinghe County.

Wei Xiyin couldn't help but glared at him when she heard that. "Didn't I just say I was out looking for someone? Why would I come out looking for someone when I'm already in Ling County?"

Young man: “…” This girl is so fierce.

Wei Xiyin was getting a little impatient. The weather was hot and she couldn't take off her clothes like Chang Ying and the others. Standing under the scorching sun, beads of sweat kept coming out of her forehead.

It really makes people feel restless and irritable.

Besides, she had to hurry to confirm the route and had no time to waste.

Wei Xiyin was just about to ask about the whereabouts of her relatives and friends when a large group of people came over from a distance, each holding a weapon. It seemed that the people who had just picked wild vegetables had returned to report the news.

When the young man saw the man in the lead, he quickly ran out and saluted, "Mr. Qu."

He whispered in the man's ear: "This group of people call themselves the Qinghe Wei family, and they are here to look for you and the Wei family." Oh, and the Han family too.

The man called Mr. Composer raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and after scanning around, his eyes fixed on Wei Xiyin.

It is rare in the world for a woman to lead an army.

He bowed politely and said, "My name is Cookie. May I know who this young lady is?"

Cookies?

biscuit?

Wei Xiyin's thoughts were a little vague, she seemed to have forgotten what the cookies tasted like.

The young man was afraid that she would get angry again, so he quickly whispered, "She said it was Wei Wuniang from the Wei family of Qinghe."

Cookie was slightly surprised that it was someone from the Qinghe Wei family who came to see him.

Ranked fifth? Wouldn't that mean he's from the eldest branch of the family...

The Qu family is indeed related to the Wei family by marriage. His great-aunt is a daughter of the Wei family. In theory, Wei Wu Niang should call him cousin, but after all, they are a generation apart, so Qu Qi doesn't dare to shamelessly establish a relationship with them.

After confirming their identities, since they were not enemies, everyone relaxed.

Knowing that she was looking for someone, Cookie took the initiative to say, "So it's Miss Wei. Almost all of our relatives and friends are here. When the disaster broke out, we fled the county and lived in a nearby villa..."

He was about to elaborate.

Wei Xiyin interrupted him and nodded, "We'll talk to Mr. Qu later. You need to get your people out of here quickly. The zombie army is coming."

It gets dark late in the summer, and she and Zhang Yuanyan agreed to light the gunpowder together at 11:00 a.m. They must not delay here and miss the time.

She kept her story short and explained the situation.

He said to the people behind him: "If you have nowhere to go, you can follow me to Wei's Fort. Ling County is very safe now."

When Cookie heard this, he didn't expect the situation to be so urgent. He turned around and whispered something to the young man, asking him to notify the people in the village to evacuate.

He walked in front, leading the way, and said as he walked, "In that case, let's work with the girl to clear out the monsters behind us. In fact, we have almost cleared out all the monsters nearby. We started to save ourselves after escaping the city, but we are sandwiched between several cities here, so there is really no place to move."

The situation in the surrounding counties is the same, so it’s better to stay where you are than to go anywhere else.

Wei Xiyin was slightly touched. Zaoqiang was the first county town she had encountered that had started to save itself. And if she had heard correctly, the young man called Cookie "Sir"?

You should know that in this dynasty not everyone can be called "Sir". Only people with great talents can be worthy of such a title.

She thought for a moment, then pointed at the weapons in the people's hands and asked, "Mr. Qu, may I ask who forged the iron plates on these weapons?"

Noticing her change in address, Cookie smiled and said, "It's me. I've read some books before, so I tried to refine some iron myself. As for where the iron came from, it was from a batch of government supplies intercepted on the official road. At that time, we..."

Cookie began to talk non-stop, starting from how they discovered the supplies and how they forged the weapons...

Wei Xiyin's face was filled with black lines. Could it be that this Mr. Biscuit was a chatterbox?

"Then we built a furnace ourselves and tried to smelt iron. Little girl, you don't know that the iron forging method isn't actually recorded in detail in books. Most blacksmiths inherit the craft from their ancestors and never pass it on to others. I only came across that book by accident when I passed by a bookstore while studying in Kyoto..."

"I spent three years at Arashiyama Academy in Kyoto, but I couldn't get used to Kyoto's food habits, so I returned to Zaoqiang. Zaoqiang is good in every way, except that there aren't many scholars there, so it can't compare to the bustling cities. Fortunately, it's close to the government, so I can enjoy visiting friends there occasionally..."

Cookie started talking about refining weapons and then turned to his good friends, and he showed no intention of stopping.

Wei Xiyin's face was expressionless. She had only asked who forged the weapon.
