Run away from home?
Wei Xiyin was stunned. Why would anyone run away from home in this world? Did he think his life was too long?
Wei Xiyin was not familiar with Wei Xu. She only vaguely knew that he was from a branch of the family, had a talent for studying, and had a good relationship with his cousins.
There is enough food in the fort now and it is very safe. How could anyone want to leave?
Wei Xiyin pulled the person aside and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"
Wei Li made a bitter face and said, "I just received the news as well. We were planning to go look for our uncles together."
As soon as the words fell.
A cousin held up a letter in his hand. "Fifth cousin, this is from Wei Xu."
The letter was sealed tightly, and they had not yet had time to read it and were about to take it to Mingjingtang.
A few days ago, the clan was busy moving, it was chaotic and noisy, and the underground palace was very large, with people coming and going every day, so no one paid attention to the movements of the young men in the fortress.
After all, it is very safe here now, and no one would think that someone would sneak out secretly.
It was only after the cousins received the news that the wild boar had given birth that they remembered to look for Wei Xu.
Who knew that after searching for a long time in the underground palace, he didn't see anyone. After asking around, the servants didn't know either.
They were afraid that Wei Xu was still at home, so they ran to his house to look for him, but they only saw a letter on the table.
After seeing the letter, the cousins realized something was wrong and immediately went to the blacksmith shop to find Wei Li. They came down from the blacksmith shop and were about to go to the third district to inform their uncles.
Wei Xiyin nodded and said, "Then I'll go with you."
The secret passage of the fort was sealed after Wei Lang escaped, and there were guards guarding the main gate, so it was impossible for Wei Xu to go through the main gate.
She wanted to know how people got out.
If there is a loophole in the defense of the fort, it will be the fault of the troops.
The uncles and aunts of Mingjing Hall were confused when they saw the younger generations coming over. They asked, "What's going on?"
Wei Li quickly handed over the letter, "Uncles, take a look! Something big has happened!"
The uncle's face changed slightly when he received the letter. He quickly opened it and read it carefully. After seeing the content of the letter, his chest began to heave violently, and he was obviously very angry.
The letter was passed on, and the faces of every elder who read it became very ugly.
Wei Xiyin took the letter silently, and Wei Li and others immediately gathered around.
The letter was very long, a full three pages, but most of it was just some nonsense apologies, and only the last page got to the point.
Wei Xu is two years older than Wei Xiyin. His parents died when he was young, and he was raised by his clan and provided with education.
Last year, the clan arranged a marriage for him. His fiancée was from Fuyang County. Her family was related to the Wei family and she had lived in the fort for three years.
She and Wei Xu were childhood sweethearts and had a very good relationship.
After the zombie outbreak, he has been worried about his fiancée who is far away in Fuyang County.
Especially because of his injury, he stayed in the house all day long, thinking about all sorts of things. The more he thought about it, the more worried he became. Later, as the temperature dropped sharply, survival became difficult, and he finally couldn't sit still anymore.
Wei Xu pretended that his injury was not fully healed, wrote the letter and secretly left, going out alone to find his fiancée.
After reading the letter, Wei Xiyin was speechless, and her cousins beside her looked at each other in confusion.
No one knew what to say.
The clan raised him and taught him to read and write. Didn't he ever think about how his elders would deal with this irresponsible behavior?
No wonder the uncles were so angry after reading the letter.
Perhaps because his parents and brother were not around, Wei Xiyin could understand his feelings, but this did not mean that she would approve of this behavior of running away secretly.
Being brave but not wise, and acting on one's own will not only fail to save others, but will also most likely cost you your life.
No one in the room dared to say a word.
Wei Mingze turned pale with anger after reading the letter. It was freezing outside with snow and monsters everywhere. How could they go out to look for people? They couldn't risk everyone else's lives for Wei Xu.
He glared at the young men and said, "Don't spread this matter outside. Just do what you need to do. The clan will handle it."
The young men agreed, but they were afraid that their uncles would vent their anger on them, so they all felt insecure and quickly found an opportunity to slip away.
Wei Xiyin also said goodbye to her uncles. The elders would take care of the matter, so she just wanted to join in the fun. She should let Qin Shan take people to check the fort to see where Wei Xu had sneaked away from.
She turned her head and looked at Chang Ying.
Chang Ying immediately understood, turned around and left to inform Qin Shan to check for hidden dangers.
There was nothing to do at the moment, so she went back to the mud house alone. When she came back, the house on this side passage was empty.
My grandfather's health has improved and he can walk around. The earthen house is small and stuffy, so he would occasionally walk around in the underground palace when he had free time, or find a quiet corner with my third great uncle to play chess and pass the time.
The two elders gradually let go and handed some things over to the younger generations to handle on their own.
As for Wei Lang, he was being forced to copy books in the public kitchen, while Uncle Wu and Ningshuang were watching him from the side.
Because my grandfather was ill, there was no time to deal with the matter of him running away.
A few days ago, seeing that her grandfather was no longer seriously injured, Wei Xiyin severely complained to him. Knowing that he was naturally dull and illiterate, and would get a headache whenever he saw a book, she punished him by making him copy the family rules ten times.
If you don’t know it, just copy it. Anyway, you must copy it ten times.
Wei Lang tearfully acted like a spoiled child, trying to get away with it, but Wei Xiyin was unmoved.
…
Now that she had a rare moment to herself, she took off her cloak, went into the house, sat down, and poured herself a glass of water.
Once a person calms down, his thoughts will inevitably wander and he will easily think of many things.
Wei Xiyin thought of the doomsday novels she had read in her previous life. The protagonists in those novels had all kinds of superpowers, space rings and other powerful cheats, and she couldn't help but feel very envious.
