The next day.
People walked out of the fort and re-engaged in the construction of the city wall.
The uncles and aunts of Mingjingtang handed over their newly opened fields to tenant farmers. The farmers went up the mountain to renovate the fields, apply base fertilizer, and sow seeds, mainly soybeans, wheat, and seasonal vegetables.
The tribesmen then continued to cultivate new fields and dig ditches to bring water to irrigate the fields.
Ever since they learned that there were no survivors in Ling County, the outsiders worked extra hard. They understood that they were lucky to have the Wei family to shelter them from the wind and rain and provide them with a living.
The current stability of the fortress is hard-won. Only by working together can we survive in this world.
Therefore, I also want to contribute my own strength.
Such a working atmosphere was full of vitality and hope. Even the prisoners were gradually influenced and became more proactive in their work.
At least Wei was not harsh on them and provided them with meals every day.
Wang Tie and the captain seemed a little out of place at this time.
The first thing Wang Tie said when he came out to work every day was: "Let that kid come out for a duel!" He was still muttering about Wei Lang hitting him with his round shield.
The guards were too lazy to pay attention. Erlangjun was simple-minded and was tricked by Lilangjun into transporting grain.
Not to mention that the person is not in the dock now, even if he is, it is impossible to compete with a prisoner.
Do they think these guards are just decorations?
The captain said nothing and buried his head in his work, but he was full of thoughts. He kept thinking about the letter he had sent out. He wondered whether Mr. Ji would send someone out to look for the person, and whether he could receive the letter he had handed over.
I just hope the girl didn't lie to him.
At this time, the young men's grain transport team was reaching Dongwu City.
If the first time was a bit novel and I couldn’t help looking around, then the second time was like being familiar and very easy.
There are clusters of forsythia on the roadside, with green tender branches intertwined and overlapping, petals stretched out, branches green and flowers yellow, clusters of flowers, and the whole way is full of scenery.
The roads and villages along the way were cleared by Wei Xiyin and others. Occasionally, there were a few zombies that strayed over, but they were dealt with by the guards exploring ahead and would never run in front of them.
Wei Lang walked in front, pouting and looking very unhappy. He said to Wei Li, "I won't follow you out next time. You guys play by yourselves." He still wanted to follow his sister.
The cousins found it funny and nodded in agreement, "Okay, thank you for protecting us, Erlang."
This time Wei Li didn't have any red eggs, so his cousins coaxed him by saying it was too dangerous outside and everyone was scared, so they coaxed and tricked him into coming out.
When he first came out, Wei Lang vowed to protect his brothers.
But after walking for a whole day and not seeing even a single zombie, he became a little unhappy and wanted to go back to find his sister.
Wei Li coughed lightly and said, "The two eggs I gave to Erlang were given to my grandfather by the clan. My grandfather was very angry when he found out that I took them away." He said that he was punished for stealing his grandfather's red eggs.
"But I ate all the eggs." Wei Lang looked confused.
"So he's already eaten it." Wei Li continued to complain, "Has Erlang ever been punished? My grandfather is really cruel when it comes to punishing people. I only gave the eggs to Erlang because I saw that he liked it."
Wei Lang didn't understand his hidden meaning and said confidently, "You gave it to me yourself, so grandfather won't punish me."
Wei Li: “…”
Well, you can't beat around the bush when talking to Jilang.
He could only say, "I know, it was my cousin who gave it to you voluntarily, so I don't blame you. But you also voluntarily agreed to come with us. If you run back now, you'll be breaking your promise, and my fifth cousin will be angry."
Now Wei Lang understood that his elder sister would be angry and would punish him by drawing the painting rules, but he didn't want that.
Wei Lang said reluctantly, "Okay then, I will protect you."
The cousins laughed secretly in their hearts, but replied: "Of course, Erlang is the best."
The group walked to a place not far from Changlan Village.
The guards who were investigating ahead returned and reported urgently, "Gentlemen, survivors have been found ahead!"
"I guess they are the villagers hiding in Changlan Village." The person leading the way this time was a sergeant from the southeast wing named Zhou Yongfu, who had a lot of experience and had accompanied the group on several previous trips to the granary.
The young men were very happy to hear this. You know, the fort is short of workers now. When they bring back survivors, they may even get praise from their elders.
Wei He couldn't wait to ask, "Where are the people? How many people are there?"
The guard replied, "Gentlemen, there are about 500 people sitting at the intersection ahead."
"Let's go! Let's go and take a look!" Wei Li waved his hand and walked forward with his cousins, and the guards quickly followed.
There is a slope at a corner in front, and the village entrance is at the other end of the slope. Now it is full of spring, and the slope is covered with green grass.
Soon, they saw many people sitting on the open lawn.
The people were also very excited when they saw them. They stood up one after another, rubbed their hands embarrassedly, and looked timid and did not dare to step forward.
Wei He was only thinking about finding labor for the tribe, so without thinking too much, he walked towards the crowd.
He had just taken two steps when he was stopped by Zhou Yongfu.
Zhou Yongfu felt something was amiss, but couldn't quite place what, so he shouted, "Who are you? Tell me your names!"
A man with a simple and honest look was pushed forward.
He looked around for a while and replied honestly, "My dear gentlemen, we are all villagers from Changlan Village."
The gentlemen nodded when they heard this. The village entrance was at the other end of this intersection, and it was normal for villagers to appear in their own village.
Zhou Yongfu did not let his guard down. He always felt that this group of villagers seemed a little different from those they had met before, but he could not tell exactly what was different.
You must know that the young men are the descendants of the Wei family. Before setting off, the Qin commander repeatedly instructed them that the safety of the young men should be the top priority.
It’s better to stay away from this group of people until you find any discomfort.
Seeing no response after the reply, the villagers looked at each other in confusion for a moment.
The two parties confronted each other inexplicably.
The gentlemen were puzzled, but they knew in their hearts that the guards must have a reason for doing this.
The surroundings were quiet and the atmosphere was a bit weird.
"Why are you so fat?" Wei Lang suddenly spoke up, pointing at the honest villager and asked innocently.
Zhou Yongfu suddenly realized.
right!
No wonder he felt something was wrong!
Monsters are rampant, natural disasters have caused food shortages, but this group of villagers all have rosy complexions and are fatter than the other.
The guards around immediately became alert and protected the gentlemen behind them.
Seeing that they had been discovered, the villagers stopped disguising themselves. The expressions on their faces changed from timidity to ferocity, and they picked up the weapons they had hidden in advance from the grass on the ground.
He surrounded his men and ladies.
Zhou Yongfu's face changed drastically, "It's the enemy!"
