Her brother's treatment went smoothly, putting Wei Xiyin's mind at ease.
These days, the spring plowing in Huaili County has been completed, and County Magistrate Zhao has been busy with the people of the city storing water in preparation for the upcoming drought.
At the same time, the matter of the meteorite has been announced to the whole county, and the Xie and Liu families began to send people to search for the meteorite.
But what do meteorites actually look like?
No one has ever seen it before. There are stones everywhere outside, and it feels like you don’t know where to start.
It just so happened that news came from Hongnong County that they had discovered the first meteorite, and they drew a picture of the meteorite and sent it over.
Wei Xiyin opened the painting and found that it indeed looked like an ordinary stone, the size of a fist and dark brown in color. Because she didn't dare to get too close, she only had a rough idea of its shape but no specific data.
But this piece of meteorite fragment alone cannot define the overall structure.
Wei Xiyin had watched many documentaries about the mysteries of the universe, and it was mentioned in them that meteorites have irregular shapes. In addition to being round, meteorites can be of almost any shape.
Because there is no air in the universe, the dense structure of stone generally does not form foamy, porous or slag-like structures, and no gaps can be identified with the naked eye.
The meteorite had been cut into various fragments by the Ten Directions Sect, and the scroll could only provide a little information.
She wrote all these special conditions next to the scroll, asked someone to copy it, and then made the scroll public.
The entire Huaili County was mobilized. Some people were busy storing water, while others were digging deep into the ground to search for meteorites based on the images and content in the paintings.
Wei Xiyin finally made time and planned to go to Qichuan.
Mrs. Yu knew that her daughter was busy with something, so she didn't stop her. She just said, "Go ahead, don't worry about here. Mother and your brother will take good care of the house." Besides, there are so many things to do.
Wei Xiyin had nothing to worry about, so she said with concern, "Don't worry too much, mother. Tell Chang Ying if you have anything to do. Have the guards watch over father and eldest brother at night."
Wei Jie has regained feeling in his legs these days. The spring weather is damp and cold, and the pain is so severe that he can't eat.
Mrs. Yu felt sorry for her son, so she gritted her teeth, ground some flour, and made some noodles and snacks.
Her cooking skills were average, but Wei Jie, considering his mother's hard work, endured the pain and ate it all every day.
"Okay, mother will listen to you. Go early and come back early." Yu reluctantly sent the person to the city gate.
Bubai was led over by the guards and ran to Wei Xiyin humming.
Wei Xiyin patted its head, jumped on his horse, and led a thousand soldiers to Qichuan.
The temperature has been rising slowly in recent days.
The spring rain stopped, weeds grew wildly on the roadside, and the crops along the way that had only been planted a few days ago had already sprouted green shoots.
Everyone still lives in a camp built on the Qichuan border.
First, he agreed to help build the Gongjiawu Fort, and second, the granary would be held in the hands of Mr. Chu after it was recovered, and it could only be distributed after the zombie tide was cleared.
In addition, the food has not been obtained yet, and he is jealous of Wei's little black ball, so he wants to wait here for the follow-up.
Of course, it doesn't take 40,000 people to build a dock. Most of the soldiers are outside clearing zombies and looking for meteorites.
A piece of meteorite fragment has been found, but we are still stuck on how to deal with it.
No one dares to touch this thing, or even get close to it.
Finally, Chu Yu said, "Establish an isolation zone in a sparsely populated, cool place. Dig a deeper reservoir. Wrap the meteorite with water and throw it into the reservoir for temporary preservation."
There is no other way but to do this for now.
When drought comes, you might also try covering it with soil to prevent the water in the box from evaporating.
Everyone had no choice but to do as they were told.
They found a box in Hongnong County, used two very long bamboo poles as chopsticks, clamped the meteorite into the box filled with water, and then sealed the box.
After discussion, the three major families decided to set the quarantine area in the neighboring Xin'an County, which had long been deserted. If meteorite fragments were found in the area in the future, they would also be placed there.
Mr. Chu said that the power of the meteorite is weakening over time, and it may take decades for the virus to disappear before the crisis can be completely resolved.
King Cheng'an was very unhappy.
He had no share of the little black ball, nor of the silkworms, and they still wouldn't let him go back even after all this.
Some time ago, Chu Yu received a reply from the girl and informed the two princes that the two armies needed to go to Kyoto. Prince Cheng'an was so angry that he didn't even eat dinner.
Do we really have to squeeze all the labor force out before releasing grain?
Jiang Xun had no choice but to advise: "Your Highness, please be more patient and don't fall out with Wei at this time."
Wei did not keep any of the grain for herself. She took the grain from the granary but did not take any of it. She distributed it all to them.
Recovering Kyoto is a good thing for everyone in the world.
Now that we are here, we have to go and take a look. If there are too many monsters, we can leave the rest to King Hedong and the three major families.
King Cheng'an had no choice but to continue waiting.
There are wild vegetables everywhere outside in spring. He has waited for a whole winter, and the fiefdom should be able to hold out until he returns.
Wei Xiyin came here today to lead troops to the capital with the two princes.
Chu Yu also went with them.
He said, "Over 100,000 zombies escaped here during the winter, and now there are only a few left in Kyoto City."
Wei Xiyin thought so too. "Things in the city are easy to deal with, but the main thing is the palace. I wonder if the two teams that came to the capital to rescue the emperor have opened the palace gates."
Chu Yu nodded: "We'll talk about it when we get there. If we can't get in, we can only trouble the Prince of Hedong and Gong Chun."
This is one of the conditions for distributing grain.
Prince Cheng'an and they would not be able to stay for long before they had to leave, but the people in Sizhou had enough time to clean up slowly.
Wei Xiyin rode on the horse and said nothing more.
The two vassal kings' armies sent a total of 10,000 people, plus a thousand Wei's troops, and arrived in Kyoto six days later.
There were many monsters along the way, and it took them some effort to finally stand at the city gate.
The once prosperous capital city has now become lifeless.
Standing outside the broken city gate covered with dried blood, one could see the messy streets inside, with twisted and terrifying zombies staggering around. The buildings in the ruins collapsed one after another due to lack of care, like graves of souls.
Sunlight streamed through the clouds, revealing a scene tarnished by time and death.
The army's movement attracted the attention of the zombies inside, and sporadic monsters rushed out of the city and were quickly eliminated.
Prince Cheng'an stared at the plaque on the city gate in a daze.
He was deeply moved and sighed, "The last time I came to Kyoto was twenty years ago to celebrate Your Majesty's birthday."
Unexpectedly, things and people have changed.
In the blink of an eye, the Yuan family's empire was gone like a passing cloud.
The same was true for Yuan Jing. He had lived in Kyoto longer than in Hedong Kingdom. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Wei Xiyin.
If I remember correctly, Miss Wei also grew up in Kyoto.
Wei Xiyin is not as sentimental as them. Mainly because being sentimental is useless, it is better to do something practical.
"Send scouts in to take a look, and if they can, then go in."
