Wei Xiyin stared straight at him, not missing any subtle changes in his expression, and asked calmly, "I heard from my subordinates that you rescued those villagers outside, sir. It seems you know a lot about this epidemic, sir?"
Chu Yu raised his head upon hearing this and looked at Wei Xiyin in surprise, as if he was surprised by the undisguised temptation and suspicion in her words.
"I can't say I know much about it. I just saw a few people who were sick and crazy on my way back home."
"Last night, someone fell ill. Yu noticed something was wrong and immediately notified the villagers to take shelter in their cellars." Chu Yu sighed sadly, "Unfortunately, many villagers who didn't react in time still suffered..."
Chu Yu answered very seriously this time. After just a few words, he had discovered that this girl from the Wei family seemed to be different from the ordinary young ladies from wealthy families.
Wei Xiyin nodded when she heard this, and stopped there. Asking further questions would probably only backfire.
After a moment, she tapped her fingers unconsciously on the stone bench and asked, "I wonder what your plans are next, sir?"
Chu Yu bowed respectfully to her again and said, "I have relatives at home, so I plan to go back and visit them first."
This means that I will not travel with them.
What about the villagers outside?
Chu Yu seemed to know what she was thinking, and immediately added: "Those villagers are homeless. If they stay outside, they will die. Please give them a way out." The implication was that she should take these villagers back to Wei's Fort.
Wei Xiyin was not curious about how Chu Yu knew her identity. The clothes of the guards outside and the food piled in the temple all had the big word "Wei" printed on them.
In Yizhou, the Qinghe Wei family is well-known to everyone.
Wei Xiyin neither agreed nor refused.
This place is still a hundred miles away from the Wei family fortress. She can't even guarantee the safety of her own people, let alone those villagers who are powerless.
Furthermore, these villagers have no food. In addition to protecting their safety, her guards must also be responsible for their food and drink?
Seeing that she seemed reluctant, Chu Yu tried to persuade her again, "The disaster here wasn't serious before, and the villagers were quite well-off. According to my observation, almost every family has food stored. You just need to let them go home and get food..."
The implication of her words was that she had to take care of this.
The situation outside is unclear now, and it is unknown whether the virus can be controlled. If it is really as described in the novel, the zombie virus will be the end of the world, and the end of the world is most taboo for the Virgin Mary...
Thinking of this, Wei Xiyin didn't want to care about those villagers at all.
Before she could figure out how to refuse, Chang Ying came in to report that more than a dozen guards who had been lost last night had been found.
Wei Xiyin stood up excitedly, instantly forgetting Chu Yu's words, and got up to go out to check while apologizing repeatedly.
Because of the chaos last night, many guards did not follow them out the back door. Some were infected with the plague, and some got lost in the dark.
After coming out, Wei Xiyin quickly asked Chang Ying, "Have the guards who lured away the zombies last night returned?"
Chang Ying was stunned. "What are zombies?"
Wei Xiyin only then realized that she had accidentally called those monsters zombies.
"It's that group of monsters." It's just a name anyway.
Chang Ying nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He even felt that the girl's description was very apt.
Zombies?
They are probably similar to zombies, but more brutal than zombies. Zombies only suck human blood, but those zombies eat living people alive.
He replied: "Three people returned, and two others were unfortunately bitten by the monster."
Fortunately, Cheng Xiu's younger brother Cheng Qing returned safely.
Cheng Xiu's eyes were red. She punched her brother in the chest and choked out, "I'm glad you're okay."
Cheng Qing's eyes were red and he choked up several times. The situation last night was very dangerous and they almost died, but he did not regret it at all. Even if it happened again, he would make the same choice.
The two brothers chatted for a while, and when they saw the girl coming towards them, they quickly stood up and saluted.
Wei Xiyin waved her hands repeatedly, "No need to be so polite."
Wei Xiyin met the group of guards who had returned, made sure that they were all uninjured, and then said a few words to comfort them.
Before I knew it, it was completely dark.
The zombies at the foot of the mountain became active again. The roars of those monsters echoed in the valley. The noises they made while running were very loud, as if they were moving together in groups, frantically searching for living people.
Although people were hiding in the mountains, they could hear everything happening below clearly.
The villagers were so frightened that they trembled and kept moving towards the temple. No one dared to make a sound.
Chang Ying escorted Wei Xiyin back to the temple. The well-trained guards immediately dispersed and stationed in groups of two around the ruined temple. Their eyes were full of vigilance, and they listened carefully to any movement below the mountain.
When Wei Lang saw his sister coming back, he quickly pointed out the window and complained, "Sister, those monsters are screaming."
"Sister, I heard it." She looked into her brother's clear eyes and asked, "Are you scared?"
Wei Lang puffed out his chest and said, "I'm not afraid! I will protect my sister."
Wei Xiyin smiled, and when she saw Ningshuang covering her ears in the corner, she sighed helplessly.
*
The night passed peacefully.
As the day dawned, the zombies at the foot of the mountain gradually disappeared.
The tied-up guard was finally untied. Having escaped death, he knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.
Wei Xiyin was sitting in the dilapidated temple, discussing the time of departure with Chang Ying, when the guard at the door came to report that Mr. Chu had brought two villagers to ask to see the girl.
Wei Xiyin's expression remained unchanged as she asked the guards to bring people in.
