Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is the day of departure. A team of more than a hundred people line up in an orderly manner at the entrance of the dock.
The 150 men were divided into two columns. Each of the men on the inner column had a wooden ox or horse in front of them, responsible for pushing the vehicle. The guards on the outer column wore armor, wielded long tasseled spears, and wore masks. Their uniform black garb looked quite imposing.
Wei Xiyin stood at the front of the team, wearing the winter clothes that Ningshuang had made over the past few days. In order to facilitate movement, the winter clothes were changed into a short shirt style, and the gold-thread soft armor given by her grandfather was worn close to her body.
Not many people from the tribe came to see him off. Firstly, most of them were currently cutting wood in the mountains and busy preparing for winter. In addition, the tribe was distributing grain today, so many people went to Mingjing Hall to register for grain. Secondly, because this matter was not easy to publicize, the departure date was not told to the tribe members.
As the suspension bridge in front of them slowly descended, the main gate of the fort was opened, and more than 150 people, carrying 100 wooden oxen and flowing horses, slowly walked out of the fort.
Uncle Wu stood at the door with his body bent, having come specially to see us off.
Wei Xiyin waited for a while, but did not see her grandfather appear, so she waved to Uncle Wu in a casual manner, turned around and left with his people without any reluctance.
………
After the group walked out of the dock, the door behind them closed and everyone instantly became alert.
Wei Xiyin walked on the inside, with five guards in front to explore the way, and Chang Ying and Qin Shan followed her on the left and right.
"Girl, go up from Crow Mountain and rest in the mountains tonight." The route had been studied long ago and would not be easily changed unless an accident occurred along the way.
Wei Xiyin nodded and said, "Let's follow the plan we originally made."
The two nodded in agreement, and no one in the team spoke again.
After walking about two miles, zombies began to appear on the road. The zombies in the daytime were not to be feared, and the guards in front easily dealt with them.
Soon we arrived at the foot of Crow Mountain. There were many zombies wandering around in the forest. The jungle on the mountain was dense and the trees were thick, so it was difficult to find the zombies hiding in it.
For safety, the group acted quietly along the way without making any noise. They had to travel as quickly as possible and reach their first destination before dark.
Wei Xiyin walked in the middle of the team. She had amazing physical strength and was extremely fast, which surprised some guards who were not familiar with her.
The advantage of the wooden ox and flowing horse is that it can be used on mountain roads. Now, except for the five carts of dry food and drinking water, the rest of the carts are empty, and the speed is much faster than expected.
The group did not rest on the way and finally arrived at the first destination ahead of time at 5:00 p.m.
It was called a resting place, but it was actually a flat area on the top of a mountain. Because it was difficult for zombies to get up there, as long as everyone kept quiet at night and tried not to make any noise, they would be safe.
Chang Ying and Qin Shan stayed by Wei Xiyin's side the entire day, and the three of them gathered together to discuss in the evening.
"After we go down the mountain tomorrow, we need to pass through a village, go around Yimu, pass Dongwu and go up the mountain again, and we will arrive at Qingyang County." Qin Shan reported in a low voice.
There was no fire in the camp in the dark, so the expressions on their faces could not be seen.
Wei Xiyin responded silently, thinking that they still had to travel tomorrow, so the group took the time to rest.
After all, she was the wife of a big family, and there were differences between men and women. Qin Shan and others still had some concerns. When she was resting, the guards almost all turned their backs to her. Qin Shan quietly pushed over several wooden oxen and flowing horses, surrounded her in the middle, and blocked everyone's sight.
A dreamless night.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened her eyes in the morning, Wei Xiyin was almost pissed to death by the scene in front of her.
She had just woken up and noticed that Qin Shan and Chang Ying had very abnormal expressions. She felt a little puzzled and asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen last night?"
But looking at their expressions, it didn't look like anything had happened, but rather like they had encountered some unspeakable secrets.
Before anyone could reply, Wei Lang pushed aside the wooden ox and horse that were blocking the way and suddenly appeared in front of her.
Wei Lang excitedly called out to her, "Sister!"
Wei Xiyin: “…”
She was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and felt the veins on her temples throbbing.
Wei Xiyin suppressed her anger, stood up and asked, "Who asked you to follow me?!"
Yesterday, Wei Lang took advantage of Uncle Wu going to the door to see him off, and then he took his long tasseled spear and sneaked away through the secret passage of the fort.
He wanted to find his sister, but he didn't know where she and the others were going. After coming out of the secret passage, he kept wandering around nearby, but didn't find anyone until dark.
Wei Lang hesitated for a long time, and vaguely remembered that when he followed his sister back to the fort, they stayed on the mountain at night. When he saw that it was getting dark, he set off and walked up the mountain.
He didn't know how long he had been walking, but in the second half of the night, Wei Lang finally noticed that there seemed to be a shadow shaking on the top of the opposite mountain, so he ran to the top of the mountain excitedly.
Wei Lang sneaked up to the top of the mountain in the dark, but was discovered by the guards on duty as soon as he reached the edge of the camp.
It was pitch dark at night, and the guards thought they were zombies sneaking up the mountain, so they attacked without mercy, aiming their weapons straight at their heads.
Wei Lang also quickly used his long tasseled spear to block it.
The guards soon realized something was wrong. How could a zombie use weapons?
When they discovered that the person coming was not a zombie, but Erlang Jun, the guards were all scared and broke out in a cold sweat. If they had hit the target with their first strike, wouldn't that have directly cost Erlang Jun his life...
Thinking of this, the guard who took action felt his legs go weak, and secretly thanked God that Erlang Jun reacted quickly enough.
The commotion here naturally alarmed the two commanders.
Chang Ying and Qin Shan also gasped when they saw Erlangjun.
But the girl had already gone to bed, and it was difficult to make any noise at night, so the two men had to stay with Erlang and report to him after the girl woke up in the morning.
