Wei Ting was confused, "Who is Mr. Chu?"
"How did he get here?" Wei Xiyin was shocked when she heard this. She immediately put down the work in her hands and hurried out of the shop.
You have to know that there are zombies everywhere outside now. Chu Yu is just a strategist, and it is not known whether he can fight or not. He doesn’t have any guards around him, but he actually came to seek refuge.
How on earth did he get here?
Wei Xiyin had previously inferred that Chu Yu would come to the fort because she had not expected the virus to spread so quickly.
She had lost hope since returning to the fort, but she never expected Chu Yu to be so capable.
"Please ask Mr. Chu to come in. I'm going to report to my grandfather!" Wei Xiyin quickly turned around and ran towards the old house.
The people in the blacksmith shop were also surprised when they heard this and stopped what they were doing.
You know, since the zombie outbreak, the fort has been isolated from the world. How long has it been since they heard any news from the outside world?
Now that there are guests suddenly here, everyone is full of curiosity.
Who exactly is that Mr. Chu?
Wei Ji stood up immediately after receiving the news. After listening to his granddaughter's description of Chu Yu, the usually calm expression on his face almost couldn't hold back.
After a long pause, he said with a twinkling gaze, "This Mr. Chu is truly capable. He was able to come back all the way from Jingzhou in the south alone, and he even dared to walk outside where zombies were rampant."
The south is where the zombies first appeared.
There are too many suspicious points about Chu Yu, but his granddaughter has already said it, and Wei Ji will never let his granddaughter lose face.
Wei Ji thought for a moment and said, "Then go and invite him in. If he has great talent, he can also help the clan."
Soon the drawbridge was slowly lowered, and Chu Yu, accompanied by an old woman and two servants, appeared at the entrance of the fortress.
Upon hearing the news, the tribesmen swarmed over and were secretly looking at the middle-aged man in ordinary clothes outside.
If it weren't for the sake of not losing face for the Qinghe Wei family, they would have rushed forward and pulled him aside to ask what was going on outside.
It’s not surprising that everyone behaved this way; it’s simply because they haven’t seen outsiders for a long time.
Facing the public's gaze.
Chu Yu was very calm. He glanced at the dried bloodstains and crops that had rotted in the fields on both sides.
The crops were leaning to one side and had obvious signs of being trampled on by humans.
His gaze shifted and fixed on the member of the Wei clan who was craning his neck to look out the door.
They all had a white scarf tied around their waists.
After a moment, Chu Yu lowered his eyelids and looked away, pretending nothing had happened, and helped the old woman walk straight towards the suspension bridge.
Soon, Chang Ying returned to greet him, clasping his fists and saying, "Mr. Chu, how are you?"
Chu Yu bowed and replied, "Commander Chang."
"The master and the lady are very surprised to hear that you are coming. They are waiting for you at home. Please follow me, sir." Chang Ying quickly turned sideways and led the way.
Chu Yu's appearance had not changed at all from when they first met. He was still wearing coarse clothes and cloth shoes, with calm features and a refined temperament.
Upon hearing that there were outsiders in the fort, Wei Zhongxun also rushed over.
When Chu Yu came in, he saw two elders sitting at the top. The one on the left was sitting cross-legged on the couch. He looked dignified without being angry, and had the aura of a superior.
The old man on the right has silver hair and a sallow complexion, as if he has just recovered from a long illness.
Wei Xiyin was sitting at the bottom and nodded to him when she saw him come in.
Chu Yu nodded slightly in response, then bowed to the upper left and said, "Chu Yu greets Lord Wei."
"Mr. Chu, there's no need to be so polite. Please take a seat." Wei Ji smiled and raised his hand to invite him.
Uncle Wu stepped forward and served the guests new tea.
After exchanging pleasantries, Wei Jicai politely asked, "Where are you from, sir, and how did you get to our Wei's Fortress?"
Wei Xiyin also stared at him with curiosity.
Chu Yu smiled calmly and replied, "I'm from Pingxiang, Julu County. It's only seven or eight days' journey from here. The monsters move slowly during the day, so it's not difficult to shake them off. All we need to do is find a safe place to stay at night."
Julu County in Yizhou is adjacent to Qinghe County, to the west of Anping County, and Qinghe County is to the north.
So he was not going the same way as Wei Xiyin and the others at that time.
But when Chu Yu came, there was a ready-made mountain road. He took his mother and two servants with him, crossing mountains and ridges along the way, and the danger was greatly reduced.
The difficulty lies in finding a safe place to stay at night.
The mountains are not safe now. After these days of fermentation, some people who fled to the mountains started to fall ill, or the noise was too loud, causing some zombies to follow the smell and walk into the mountains at night.
Therefore, Chu Yu only traveled for half a day every day, and started looking for a place to spend the night after noon.
It took him almost a month to walk the seven or eight day journey before he successfully arrived at the Wei family fort.
Fortunately, all the monsters outside the dock had been cleared out, and he did not encounter any danger when he came here.
Wei Ji stroked his beard and praised, "Sir, you are so brave to travel at this time. I admire you very much."
Chu Yu said modestly, "I don't deserve the praise from Lord Wei."
As he spoke, he stood up, bowed deeply to Wei Ji, and said, "I came here this time to ask Lord Wei to take me in."
"The world outside is in chaos and full of dangers. Yu is not afraid of life or death but can't let go of his old mother at home..." Chu Yu spoke sincerely.
Wei Ji quickly raised his hand to stop him from speaking.
"Sir, you are too kind." Wei Ji said with a smile, "It is an honor for my family that you can come to the fortress for refuge. Please feel free to stay here."
Wei Xiyin never opened her mouth from beginning to end.
After they finished talking, Uncle Wu took Chu Yu downstairs to settle him in. Seeing that the third great-uncle seemed to have something to say to grandfather, she immediately withdrew.
