As soon as the sky was getting light, the two groups of people packed up their things and hurried on their journey.
The wind still didn't stop.
The journey towards Qinghe County was very difficult as one had to go against the wind.
"The county ahead is Sangzhong. After that, we will pass Jiumen County and then arrive at Qinghe County." A servant of the Wei family who was familiar with the route introduced the situation to the people.
In fact, it is also to boost morale.
Only the second half of the journey is left, and victory is just around the corner. I hope everyone will cheer up.
Wei Xirou and Wei Xiyao looked worried. There were six counties between here and Ling County. The temperature had dropped now. If they moved any slower, they might get stuck on the way.
"Hurry up and get going!"
But things went against my wishes. The more I wanted to get back sooner, the more problems I encountered.
The grain carts had been running for nearly a month without breaking down early or late, but at this moment, several of them broke down. The team had no choice but to stop and either repair the carts or look for new ones nearby.
Food is precious. I don’t know if the tribe is short of food. Even if we are traveling quickly, we must take the remaining food with us.
Wei Xirou's son, perhaps frightened by the howling sound of the wind, began to cry incessantly.
Wei Xirou had no choice but to hold the child in her arms, coaxing him softly, and asked the servants to bring some swaddling clothes she had made herself to wrap the child.
"Cousin, why don't you put the child in the car and find a windproof board to cover him." Wei Xiyao suggested worriedly.
Children are weak and the swaddling clothes cannot cover their entire mouth and nose.
With such a strong wind, even adults can’t stand it for a long time, let alone such a young child.
Wei Xirou hesitated. They were transporting food in an uncovered cart. If they put the child on it, someone would have to be there to watch over it. Everyone was already having a hard time traveling, and it was impossible for her to ride in the cart with the child in her arms.
Wei Xiyao noticed her hesitation and stamped her feet anxiously, saying, "Why bother with all this at this time? My nephew's health is more important."
Regardless of whether she agreed or not, Wei Xiyao immediately turned around and made arrangements, clearing out a space on the cart and making a few baffles specifically for blocking the wind.
She said to the people pushing the carts, "Your efforts will not be in vain. Everyone pushing the carts will receive food. When we reach our tribe's land, we will distribute it to you so that you can have food to last through the winter."
The people were delighted when they heard this, "Sixth Lady, would you like to take a ride as well? I can push the cart."
"Yeah, yeah, we can all push the cart."
Wei Xiyao shook her head. "No, let's speed up and get going as soon as we're done. We can't delay any longer."
After hearing this, everyone had no choice but to give up and speed up the modification of the car.
Dong Zhiyao was helping to repair the car at first, but after seeing someone find two abandoned vehicles nearby, he stopped and moved to stand beside the official road.
Sudden.
He turned his head suddenly, his eyes fixed sharply on a spot behind him. "Who is it?! Come out!"
The two scouts were shocked!
This person is so alert.
The scouts discovered Dong Zhiyao and his group two quarters of an hour ago.
There were so many people that more than a thousand of them were pushing carts on the road. It was a team composed of a group of ragged civilians, women, young ladies, etc. The scouts even saw a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes in the team.
A team composed of such a structure is obviously composed of ordinary people.
But the scout was worried and planned to observe for a while before returning to report to the girl.
Because Erlang Jun had chased after them the day before, his subordinates had reported that the Shifang Sect had actually ambushed their advance troops on their way to set up military camp.
The Wei family members who followed the girl back became alert immediately after hearing the news, fearing that there might be activities of the Ten Directions Sect in Changshan County.
You have to know that they have now been separated from the main force, with only 300 people, and are still some distance away from Qinghe County. If they really encounter an ambush, there will definitely be casualties.
Unexpectedly, he was discovered as soon as he got closer.
Two scouts appeared and said, "Excuse me, we have no ill intentions."
Wei Xirou and Wei Xiyao were stunned when Uncle Dong shouted. When they saw a stranger appear, they cautiously retreated to the back with their children in their arms.
Dong Zhiyao's sharp eyes swept over the two scouts.
He was wearing special armor and holding a specially modified long tasseled spear. His equipment was very strange.
Dong Zhiyao asked coldly, "Who are you? Why are you following us?"
The two scouts exchanged a glance, hesitated for a moment, and then one of them replied, "We are from the Dragon and Tiger Village in Crow Mountain."
The girl said that when she goes out, she gives herself a name.
Of course, if you can avoid revealing your true identity, then don’t do it.
Anyway, the girl is indeed the boss of the Dragon and Tiger Village in Crow Mountain, and they didn't lie.
The people behind him felt as if they were facing a great enemy when they heard this, and they all huddled together.
Dragon and Tiger Village in Crow Mountain?
The name sounds like a bandit?
Could it be that they want to hijack their food?
Dong Zhiyao was unfamiliar with Yizhou's situation and didn't know about a small mountain stronghold. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a stern tone, "The second question has not been answered yet."
Naturally, the question is why we are following them.
"There are many monsters in the wild. Our boss and second in command are at the rear, and the two of us are exploring the way ahead. We are not intentionally following you." The scout answered fluently.
It sounds like there's nothing wrong with it.
But Dong Zhiyao subconsciously felt that something seemed wrong.
"Don't panic, sir. We have no ill intentions. We will leave now." The two scouts quickly found an excuse to slip away.
As long as they can confirm that the other party is not from the Ten Directions Sect, the scout does not want to cause trouble.
The two scouts returned quickly and reported the situation to Wei Xiyin.
"A group of a thousand survivors?"
Wei Xiyin was not surprised. They had encountered very few survivors from Changshan County. They were traveling outside at this time. Perhaps it was because winter was approaching and their original hiding place was no longer safe. It was also possible that those people wanted to move to another place.
She did not take this matter seriously. She had only 300 followers with her, and her strength did not allow her to recruit more people from outside.
Whether to recruit people back to work depends on whether the current conditions allow it.
If it snows heavily tomorrow, how can a group of 300 soldiers protect so many ordinary people?
Not to mention a series of problems such as eating, drinking and traveling on the road. I heard from the scouts that there were babies in that team. Isn't this asking for trouble?
"Then forget about it for now, hurry up and get back as soon as possible."
"yes!"
The zombies on the road that must be passed through Changshan County had been cleared once when they went to Hejian County. After nearly twenty days, some wandering zombies began to appear on the road again.
Fortunately, there were only a few of them and no impact.
A strong wind swept across the wilderness, bringing a slight coolness.
When the guards were cleaning up the front, they had already clearly noticed that the zombies were moving faster and becoming stronger.
Everyone was in a heavy mood and had to hurry and get on their way.
But the strange thing is that after passing through Sangzhong County, there were very few zombies along the way, but there were many fresh zombie corpses on the official road.
The scout returned to report, "My lady, it was the surviving team we found earlier who cleaned it out."
Looking at the path, everyone actually took the same route.
Wei Xiyin was stunned. You know, the next county is Jiumen County, which is adjacent to Zaoqiang County in Qinghe County.
Do those people want to go to Qinghe County?
