The next day.
At daybreak, two servants who were part of the dowry led twenty common people on their journey with light luggage.
The main force set off following closely behind.
There are also very few monsters in Changshan County, which is very strange. Since entering Changshan County, they have almost never seen a large army of monsters gathered together. Occasionally, they encounter scattered or dozens or hundreds of monsters, and they can deal with them on their own.
With only this little distance left, the two cousins must want to get back as soon as possible.
But after all, we are traveling in the wild, no one can guarantee safety, and we must stop and rest after dark.
It is an unwritten rule that you cannot walk on the road at night.
Two days later, when they were resting at night.
Wei Xiyao keenly noticed that something was wrong with Uncle Dong in the past two days. His mood changed significantly and he seemed a little irritable. Occasionally, he would walk away alone and stare blankly.
The people in the team all knew that this person should not be provoked, so they generally stayed as far away from him as possible and were very discerning and did not dare to disturb him.
Wei Xiyao knew that Uncle Dong was a cold-looking man with a warm heart. Although he often had a cold face and rarely showed his emotions, he actually acted with great principles.
She thought for a moment and walked over. "Uncle Dong, my third uncle and the others have returned with 3,000 soldiers. The clan land must be very safe now. Let's stay in the fortress for the winter after we return."
Wei Xiyao was afraid that Uncle Dong would want to leave after sending them back to the fort.
Just yesterday I agreed with my eldest cousin that we will treat Uncle Dong as our own elder in the future.
It was very dangerous outside, but she had long seen Uncle Dong's skills. He could handle her and her nephew with ease in winter.
Dong Zhiyao's face was expressionless, as if he was standing there like a stone, motionless.
"Our Wei family's fortress has sufficient defense capabilities. We have our own tribe and the Wei family army..."
Dong Zhiyao frowned and interrupted, "What do you mean by 'we'? You belong to the Wei family, what does that have to do with me?"
Wei Xiyao was choked up immediately. Fortunately, she had long been accustomed to Uncle Dong's cold attitude. "I was wrong. Uncle Dong, please don't leave without saying a word. Xiyao and my eldest cousin have not yet repaid your kindness..."
Dong Zhiyao was speechless. "So you came here and said all this nonsense because you were afraid that I would leave without saying goodbye?"
"Winter is coming, where can I go?" he asked.
Wei Xiyao heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that. "It's good that you don't leave."
As for why Uncle Dong was in a bad mood, she didn't ask.
Uncle Dong has many secrets, such as why he appeared in Bingzhou, where his family is, why he was willing to save her and her nephew when they met by chance...
Since he didn't say anything, Wei Xiyao didn't want to ask.
Then.
It was not until the evening that Dong Zhiyao said "winter is coming", and the temperature suddenly dropped in the middle of the night.
The temperature suddenly went from hot summer to early winter overnight.
It's really too weird.
In the second half of the night.
A strong wind blew outside the house, making the tiles on the roof rustle. The already dilapidated abandoned village was windy from all sides, making people feel cold.
Wei Xirou was woken up by the cold. She didn't sleep well because she had her one-year-old son beside her.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she felt the temperature of her son's body and wanted to get up to get the quilt.
There were knocks on doors outside.
Considering that there was a baby, everyone spoke very quietly for fear of disturbing the child and making him cry.
The people on night watch outside were notified one by one, "The temperature has dropped, take out your quilts before going to sleep."
They had no medicine, so getting sick was a very troublesome thing.
Someone outside pushed a vehicle loaded with bedding over and started distributing the blankets.
Wei Xiyao had also woken up. She got out of bed, pointed at the baby lying between the two sisters, and whispered, "I'll go out and get the quilt. Big cousin, please stay in the room."
The two cousins slept in the same room, next door to where Uncle Dong and Wei Xiyao's nephew slept.
The mud house they lived in had been abandoned for a long time. They found beds on the spot, without any distinction between wing rooms or ear rooms, as long as there was a place to sleep.
To go out, you have to pass by the next door house. There is no light on, so you can't see what's going on inside the house.
But there was a slight movement when she passed by, but there was no reaction from the bed. Wei Xiyao realized that Uncle Dong might be outside again.
really.
She opened the shabby wooden door and saw Uncle Dong coming over with several quilts.
Dong Zhiyao divided the quilt and handed it to her, "Go back to sleep. It looks like winter is coming soon. Let's set off as soon as possible tomorrow."
"I'll listen to Uncle Dong." Wei Xiyao thanked him and lent him the quilt. After thinking for a moment, she said with concern, "Uncle Dong, you should also go to bed early. Don't get sick."
Dong Zhiyao said "hmm" lightly, and the two of them walked back into the house and closed the wooden door that was about to fall down and creaked when touched.
………
At the same time.
Wei Xiyin and others who were in the other direction of Changshan County also felt the temperature drop.
The soldiers were already accustomed to sleeping in the wild and did not look for any abandoned villages for accommodation.
The village also needs to be cleaned, which, in the girl's words, is a waste of time and energy.
Therefore, when resting at night, people usually look for a place that is sheltered from the wind and has open space on all sides so that they can observe the situation easily.
The fields along the official road just met their requirements.
In the second half of the night, people keenly noticed that the humidity was almost condensing, the temperature was dropping rapidly, and the barren soil in the dry land began to release weak moisture.
Soon, a strong wind blew.
The coarse cloth they used as padding was blown everywhere. There was not a single intact tree around, only some sparse dry branches, making the wind come silently.
The noise had already woken everyone up.
Qin Shan led his troops to pick up the items that were blown away. They put away what could be put away, and moved some stones to press down the items that could not be put away.
