Compared to the cruelty outside, Wei's Fortress can be described as a paradise, secluded in a corner.

The fortress has towering walls, and the underground palace is enclosed and warm.

Wei Xiyin was a little afraid of the cold and really didn't want to go out, but when she thought of the zombies trapped in the camp, she had to get up and put on thick clothes and a cloak.

After all, the current comfort is only temporary.

After winter is over, she will have to leave the fort again sooner or later, whether to go to the granary to get food or to inquire about the news of the tribesmen outside.

Especially from Shangjing, thousands of miles away, there has been no news at all...

Wei Xiyin shook her head, calmed herself down a little, and tried hard not to think too much. She suppressed the chaotic thoughts in her heart, lifted the bamboo curtain and walked out of the earthen house.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the curtain was lifted, his eyes met Wei Li's outside the house.

Wei Li was just about to go to the blacksmith shop. On one side of the corner of the passage was a newly built stone staircase. Going up the stone staircase led directly to the blacksmith shop, and he just had to pass by Wei Xiyin's house.

Wei Li saw that she was wearing a cloak and asked in surprise, "Are you going out, cousin?"

Wei Xiyin could only respond vaguely: "Well, let's go check out the situation outside."

When Wei Li heard that she was also going out, he warmly invited her, "That's perfect. The sow we raised is about to give birth. Would you like to go and see it with us, cousin?"

The two wild boars, one male and one female, were captured and were said to be pregnant when they were brought back.

The gentlemen doted on the blacksmith very much and never let the servants interfere. They took turns to feed the blacksmith in the backyard of the blacksmith shop every day. Today was Wei Li's turn.

Wei Xiyin couldn't help but be a little surprised when she heard that, "She hasn't given birth yet?" She remembered that when she just came back from transporting grain, Uncle Wu said that she was about to give birth.

"Well, a servant saw her before and said she was going to give birth, but it's been several days and there's still no sign of anything." Wei Li thought she was interested, "Cousin, do you want to go and take a look? What if you happen to see her giving birth?"

Wei Xiyin hesitated for only a moment, then smiled and replied, "Okay, let's go and take a look together."

There were tribesmen guarding the entrance to the underground palace, and entering and exiting would be too conspicuous. She might as well follow Wei Li to the blacksmith shop, and then go directly to the camp after coming out of the blacksmith shop.

Seeing that she agreed, Wei Li happily led the way. The two of them went up the stone stairs and went straight into the blacksmith shop.

Wei Ting was sitting at the table. When he saw Wei Xiyin coming over, he immediately stood up and went forward to greet her and said, "Why are you here, Fifth Cousin? I was just about to look for you."

The hot water bottle in the blacksmith shop has been completed, and now the furnace cannot be stopped in order to heat the underground palace.

He then thought about discussing the matter of modifying the weapons with his fifth cousin.

Wei Xiyin hadn't been here for some time, so the furnishings in the shop had changed slightly.

Rows of fire tunnels were half-built and half-dug, with half exposed outside, occupying some interior space. Several original racks were moved and placed in the backyard.

Because of the cold weather, a roof was added to the yard at the back to block the wind and snow, and the large furnace in the center of the yard continued to work.

Without waiting for her to answer.

Wei Li excitedly rushed to the backyard and came to the pigpen at the back, pointing it out to Wei Xiyin, "Look, cousin, this is the one. Look how big its belly is."

Wei Xiyin could only smile apologetically at Wei Ting and followed him into the enclosure. She looked inside and couldn't help feeling disappointed.

The two black wild boars looked almost the same, and she had no idea which was male and which was female.

Didn't you say she was going to give birth? Why can't I see anything?

Moreover, the smell of this wild boar is too strong.

Wei Xiyin wondered whether she should find a reason to withdraw first, as the people at the camp were still waiting.

Wei Li was very excited and shared the production knowledge he had learned from books in recent days.

"I heard that the baby will need to be delivered. My cousins ​​and I have already discussed it. We will take turns to come over and watch. Whoever is there will be responsible for delivering the baby."

"Wei Xu was injured when he was catching a wild boar. He was just able to walk two days ago. We have already decided that when the sow gives birth, we will give him a piglet as an apology."

"Once these piglets grow up, they'll be good for meat. The book says sows can give birth to two litters a year. As long as we feed them well..."

Wei Xiyin was too embarrassed to interrupt him and could only be forced to be a listener.

A good scholar, but now he seems to have completely lost his way, and can't stop talking about wild boars.

"Oh, Fifth Cousin, how about I give you one when the time comes? Do you know how to take care of it? It's actually very easy to raise. You just need to feed it some pig grass mixed with coarse grains, once in the morning and once in the evening."

Wei Li's eyes lit up, and he became more and more excited as he spoke. "For example, it's hard to find pig grass now, so we just feed it coarse grains."

Wei Xiyin: “…” Can she refuse?

"But it's best to let sows eat freely after giving birth. The book says that the feeding frequency also changes before and after breeding." Wei Li gave a passionate speech. "Oh, and piglets need to be fed six times a day, but they don't eat much..."

Wei Xiyin: “…”Are you crazy?

She could only look at Wei Ting beside her for help.

Wei Ting found it a little funny. He had never seen his fifth cousin look so embarrassed.

"Fifth cousin, I was just about to discuss with you the matter of modifying weapons..." Wei Ting spoke up to help her out.

Wei Xiyin immediately interrupted him with a serious expression, "Then let's go in and talk, Cousin Ting. Please tell us in detail what you think. Weapon modification is extremely important."

Although wild boars are important, we really can't stay here.

With that, she fled from the pigpen without looking back, and Wei Ting followed her, trying to hold back his laughter.

Wei Li called out from behind, "Hey, why are you guys leaving? Are you still going to watch?"

Wei Xiyin was in a dilemma. What was she still looking at? If she had known that her cousin Li would be so crazy when he encountered his hobbies, she would never have come with him even if she was beaten to death.
