This matter has been mentioned before. The young men will be responsible for the grain transportation routes in the future, and they already knew it.
Wei Li hurriedly said, "I know. We were about to report to Mingjing Hall a while ago, but Wei He said he had spotted a flock of sheep on the mountain, so the brothers went up the mountain to take a look."
"Yes, fifth cousin, you don't know, we chased them all the way from the other side of the mountain to here. These sheep run really fast." A cousin said hurriedly.
Wei Xiyin remained silent. She no longer wanted to delve into the matter.
Perhaps the cousins were so popular with animals that they were able to catch pheasants and wild boars first, and now they can easily come across normal sheep.
You know, she had been outside several times, and all she encountered were zombies, not a single normal one.
She could only say, "They probably got frightened and fled into the mountains. Don't waste any more time, the guards are still waiting."
The young men quickly apologized and led the newly captured sheep down the mountain.
Wei Xiyin felt it was unfair, but at the same time, she stared at the flock of sheep with greed. Now, the tribe had goat milk to drink.
After the people left, she walked around the reclaimed fields. There was no shortage of water on the mountain for the time being. The spring water flowing down from the top of the mountain was not polluted. When the time comes, ditches can be built to divert water to irrigate the fields.
After not staying there for long, Wei Xiyin followed the guards to the quarry in the mountains.
The quarry is located at the foot of a steep cliff. There is a road leading directly to the bottom. The road leading to the outside on the ground is surrounded by a wall to prevent zombies from running in.
Wei Xiyin walked down the steep path.
Hundreds of people were standing at the foot of the wall, using iron tools to chisel and cut the rocks, separating the stones from the wall, and then putting ropes on them to drag them aside.
Wang Tie, the head of the yamen soldiers and others looked like they had lost all hope in life. The guards did not beat or scold them, but if they slacked off a little, someone would immediately take out a small notebook and write it down, otherwise they would have no food to eat.
In order not to go hungry, everyone had to work hard.
Chu Yu tucked his hands into his sleeves, standing under a makeshift thatched shed. He raised his eyelids and said indifferently, "The girl is fine."
Wei Xiyin nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, sir."
Chu Yu snorted lightly, "It's more than just hard work. Not only do I have to manage the quarry, I also have to keep an eye on Ling County at all times, supervise the construction of the wall, define the area, and conduct on-site surveys..."
Wei Xiyin hurriedly said, "Sir, those who are capable should work harder. The Wei family will remember this."
Seeing that her attitude was okay, Chu Yu softened his tone and sighed, "Never mind. Only those who endure hardships can become the best. Yu will just treat it as a way to strengthen his will."
Wei Xiyin agreed in her heart, "You are right, sir, you will find that as long as you are willing to endure hardships, there will be endless hardships to endure."
Chu Yu: “…………”
What the girl said makes a lot of sense.
