After making up their minds to leave, people from all over the county mobilized to help transport food.
Since they were leaving, they naturally had to take everything with them, but there was too much food and it was impossible for such a small number of people to transport it.
Seeing this, Wei Xiyin asked the guards to go out and help.
It just so happened that all the things they had brought with them, except for some spare equipment and a few hundred remaining small black balls, had been almost used up. They had more than a thousand trucks of supplies going out, but only a few hundred were brought back.
Everyone followed suit and got busy.
Dong Zhiyao received the news and led his team into the city to rest.
They still live in several adjacent courtyards in the west of the city.
It was only then that Wei Mingzhang and others learned that Wu Niang had found the eldest family and some relatives.
They finally let go of their grudges, walked out openly, greeted familiar relatives and friends, did not hide their past mistakes, and said they would return to their hometown to atone for their sins.
When the tribesmen saw the crazy Wei Minglun and Wei Jie in a wheelchair getting off the carriage, their faces suddenly became solemn.
Wei Mingzhang asked about the situation worriedly.
Wei Xiyin passed it off vaguely, and seeing this, no one asked any more questions.
Wei Jie's legs are recovering. The pain has eased in the past few days and he is in the healing period. However, his legs are still unable to move, so he can only sit in a wheelchair to greet his uncles.
It warms my heart to see so many relatives in a foreign land.
Lingqiu County was bustling with activity that night.
The reunion of relatives and friends did not end until late at night. Wei Mingzhang and others did not have time to rest and went out to check the grain loading situation.
The same is true for Wei Xiyin.
Summer was approaching, and a lot of water and saltpeter needed to be carried. She went out with Chang Ying and Dong Zhiyao to rearrange the troops.
"Silkworms cannot be exposed to the sun, so we need to prepare more carriages." She originally planned to get supplies in Lingqiu County.
Taking into account some elderly people in Lingqiu County, the number of horse-drawn carriages needs to be increased. Fortunately, Chu Yu used the small black ball to exchange a few more horses from the Dou family, so there should be enough horses to pull the carriages.
However, all the horses were used to pull the carriages, so the grain carts could only be pushed by the guards and the people.
It is also necessary to arrange troops to clear out zombies in the front and protect the long line of civilians in the rear.
The female army led by Dong Zhiyao stayed in Fufeng County for more than a month, and achieved remarkable training results and made rapid progress.
But the female army consisted of only a hundred people, and they were responsible for taking care of the silkworms and finding edible mulberry leaves along the way.
During the dry season, mulberry leaves become extremely difficult to find, and their task is not easy.
The three of them discussed for a long time before they rearranged the team.
When Wei Xiyin returned to the yard, Yu had not yet gone to bed.
She has seen her daughter's hard work these days. Apart from taking care of her father and brother, she is busy outside all day long. She often gets up before dawn and returns to her room to rest late at night.
This made Mrs. Yu very sad.
She couldn't help with the things outside, so she wanted to make her daughter feel more relaxed. She and Erlang would take care of her husband and Dalang, so her daughter didn't have to do anything by herself and stay here all the time.
But after several persuasions, my daughter agreed and came over the next day.
Yu was somewhat helpless.
Wei Xiyin saw that her mother had not yet gone to bed, so she walked forward and said, "Go to sleep, mother. We will go back tomorrow."
Yu responded subconsciously, "Mother can only sleep when she sees you back. Your uncle is guarding your father tonight. Just go back to your room and rest. Don't go over there."
Wei Xiyin naturally agreed.
The next day.
The people of the entire county packed up their things, pushed the supply carts, and followed Wei on the road.
The long team of carriages looked quite spectacular. The guards leading the way in front and Dong Zhiyao who was staying behind firmly protected the dozens of carriages in the middle.
Wei Lang was a bit unreliable after all and didn't know how to take care of others at all. Even though Wei Jie tried to be patient with him, he was still tormented by him.
Fortunately, Wei Xiyin came over to take a look out of concern, otherwise his brother would probably continue to endure it.
She glared at her brother, not wanting him to suffer, so she had to arrange someone else.
Wei Xu, who was traveling with him, perhaps felt guilty because he was about to leave, so he volunteered to take care of his cousin.
A few days later.
The weather suddenly became hot, and another dry season was approaching.
The troops in front cleared the way and continued to search for saltpeter.
The saltpeter they brought out has not been touched, but now there are too many people in the team, plus there is a batch of silkworms. If the temperature is too high, all these silkworm pupae may die on the way.
Therefore, only physical cooling can be used.
As the temperature gets higher, the travel time becomes shorter. At noon when the sun is at its hottest, we find a place to stop and rest.
Whenever passing through a county.
Wei Xiyin led the guards to clean up. After the arrival of summer, the zombies' speed slowed down again.
Killing one more zombie means there will be one less zombie in the world.
By June.
The temperature has reached very high, the ground has become dry and cracked again, and the water levels of ponds and streams along the way have dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The people on the road had flushed faces, sweat flowed down their necks, and their clothes were all wet with sweat.
Even with ice to cool them down, some people in the team still suffered from heat stroke.
Wei Xiyin was worried about her father and brother's health and asked about them several times every day.
The roof of the carriage was covered with layers of sunshades to prevent the roof from getting too hot due to the sun, and there were several ice basins placed in the carriage, so the two of them were fine.
It’s just that the carriage is narrow, and Wei Minglun sometimes makes a lot of noise and doesn’t want to stay in the carriage.
When he was crazy, Yu was unable to comfort him at all.
Yu Hongrong and some Wei clan members had to take turns accompanying him out of the car and walk for a while.
Because of this, the journey was extremely slow.
After a few more days, the temperature became higher and higher.
There was no other way, so Wei Xiyin had to order to adjust the time difference, rest during the day, and travel at risk at night.
We are already moving slowly enough. If we stop now, we will have to wait until winter to move again, and I don’t know when we can get home.
Just walking and stopping along the way.
After a long journey, the group finally entered Yizhou at the end of July.
After entering Yizhou, the scouts immediately noticed something different.
Wherever you look, even in the surrounding counties, there is no zombie to be seen.
"It seems that my third uncle and the others have already done the cleaning." Wei Xiyin was eager to go home and couldn't wait to learn about the changes in the house.
She was afraid that her grandfather would worry, so she ordered her guards to ride back on horseback to report the news.
But before going home, she had one more thing to do.
Wei Xiyin turned over and got off the horse and got into the carriage where her brother was.
Seeing this, Wei Xu, who was waiting in the carriage, moved his seat and found an excuse to get off.
The carriage was small, so the brother and sister sat close together.
Wei Xiyin was organizing her words when she felt a hand rubbing her head.
"Sister, is this what you want to say?" Wei Jie withdrew his hand, pointed at the clan leader's seal on her waist, and said gently.
