Wei Xiyin was caught in a dilemma for a moment. If she really sent the man back by force, what if he sneaked out again and wandered around outside alone and encountered danger?

It’s not that she doesn’t trust Uncle Wu. The current situation is the best example. Uncle Wu can’t keep an eye on him at all.

"In that case, why don't you take Erlangjun with you?" Qin Shan, who was standing by, seemed to see her hesitation and said silently, "I noticed when we were clearing out the zombies before that Erlangjun is quite skilled and won't affect our operations."

"No!" Wei Xiyin retorted subconsciously, "If I give in to him this time, what about next time?"

This child is indeed stupid sometimes, but he is extremely smart in some aspects. If he succeeds once, he will use the same method to force others to submit next time.

This has already happened twice.

Seeing that his sister still refused to agree, Wei Lang burst into tears and tugged at her sleeves, crying very sadly, "Wow - I just want to follow my sister and not be separated from her."

Seeing him crying so hard, Wei Xiyin was slightly shaken. What should she do since her brother was too clingy?

Chang Ying also said: "Girl, take Erlang with you. It's too dangerous outside. It's better to keep him by your side and take care of him instead of letting him run around."

"Chang Ying is right, girl, think twice." Qin Shan agreed.

He didn't want to be halfway through transporting grain when he suddenly learned that Erlang was missing. Given how much the girl doted on her brother, she would definitely abandon the grain and go looking for him.

Wei Lang cried with his eyes closed, and when he saw someone speaking for him, his tears stopped. He secretly opened one eye and looked at his sister's face.

After all, Qin Shan had not had much contact with girls before, so it was not easy for him to repeatedly advise her, so he could only wink at Chang Ying.

Chang Ying understood and immediately said, "Girl, it's getting late. If you delay any longer, I'm afraid you won't be able to reach your next destination tonight."

Wei Xiyin sighed deeply upon seeing this, feeling helpless but having to succumb to reality.

With a stern face, she said to Wei Lang sternly, "There will be no next time."

"I will report the truth to my grandfather after I return. He will be punished if necessary." She immediately ordered people to return to the fort to report that she was safe, so that her grandfather and the others would not worry about not being able to find anyone.

When Wei Lang saw his sister compromise, he immediately became happy again. He wiped the tears from his face and ran over to stick to his sister.

As for what punishment was mentioned, he didn't pay any attention to it at all.

Seeing that Erlangjun only brought out a long tasseled spear, Qin Shan hurriedly took off his armor and let Erlangjun put it on.

The group ate some dry food and set off again.

The road to Crow Mountain was different from the one Wei Xiyin and the others had taken when they came back. There was only a narrow path heading straight north, and the hump road was steep and narrow.

There are ridges at the bottom of the mountain, and not far away is a large and flat official road. A small number of zombies are wandering on the official road. In the distance are two small villages under the jurisdiction of Ling County. The villages are quiet and lifeless.

As they crossed the mountain, Wei Xiyin looked down and squinted her eyes slightly, "I'm afraid this mountain road will be difficult to walk on when we come back."

After two days of traveling, the group safely bypassed Yimu, passed Dongwu County, and finally arrived near Qingyang County. There were no more mountains or forests to hide nearby, so they had to go down the mountain today.

It's very strange. They didn't find any survivors along the way. Where did those who were still alive hide?

Qin Shan suddenly mentioned, "The Yizhou granary is located north of Qingyang County. It is usually heavily guarded with garrisons nearby. It is not ruled out that there are still people alive inside."

Qin Shan had mentioned this matter before, but at that time they didn't know the situation outside. Their main focus was on studying the route and where to stay every night.

Now that this matter was suddenly mentioned, Wei Xiyin felt her breathing stagnate, and her hanging hands trembled slightly.

Breaking into the warehouse to transport grain is done in secret. Once the news leaks out, it is very likely that the whole family will be implicated. If there are really living people inside, will she kill them or not?

Even though she kills zombies as easily as chopping watermelons, how can this be compared to killing living people?

Wei Xiyin calmed herself down a bit and asked, "Do you know the information about the garrison?"

Qin Shan glanced at the two of them and replied in a low voice: "The granary garrison belongs to the Yizhou Army, and the number of people stationed here permanently is about 3,000."

There are three thousand people, even if only five hundred survive, it is still a considerable number.

Wei Xiyin pondered for a long time and took a look behind her. She saw that the Qinghe Wei family's logo had been erased from the guards' clothes and the vehicles they were carrying before they set off.

After a moment, she came up with an idea and raised her hand, saying, "Inform everyone. Before leaving the mountain, all guards must wear masks. If they encounter a living person, they must not harm them. They should call us..."

"We are from the Dragon and Tiger Village in Crow Mountain!" Wei Xiyin randomly made up a name.

Chang Ying was stunned. "What is Longhu Village?"

Qin Shan couldn't help but roll his eyes at him and replied kindly, "A den of bandits."

Chang Ying: “…”

In recent years, due to food shortages caused by natural disasters, food prices have soared. Many people have become bandits out of desperation. In Yizhou alone, there are dozens of bandit dens of all sizes that occupy the mountains and act as kings.

Is the girl trying to pretend to be a bandit and break into the granary?

Qin Shan thought this was a good idea. Firstly, it could hide his true identity. Secondly, there were monsters everywhere outside and no one would come to Crow Mountain specifically to investigate.

The matter was settled and everyone began to prepare to go down the mountain.

All the guards put on masks, including Wei Xiyin, Qin Shan, Chang Ying and others.

Wei Lang looked confused and pointed at the masks on their faces, "Sister, where is mine?"

Upon hearing this, a guard immediately took out a mask from the wooden ox behind him and gave it to him. He was well prepared for this trip. In addition to armor, he also had spare weapons, masks, knee pads, etc., just in case something unexpected happened on the road.
