Princess Zhongshan probably didn't expect that she had been arranged so clearly.
Life in the granary is boring, but there is no shortage of food and drink.
The last time the gentlemen came, they brought some supplies for the princess, including fresh wild vegetables, many women's products, spare clothes, etc.
Mr. Wei came from a noble family. Although they often played and laughed in private, the rules and etiquette ingrained in their bones would not be lost.
There was a difference between men and women. When Wei Li handed the things to his attendants, he politely said, "The things were selected by the women of the clan. We don't know what they are. I hope the princess doesn't mind."
After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for his followers to pass on the message. The group packed up the food and said goodbye and left.
Therefore, Princess Zhongshan did not see anyone, and did not know who was responsible for transporting the food.
Just now, the soldiers suddenly opened the door of the granary and ran out.
Leaving them all confused.
Princess Zhongshan didn't know what was going on, so she had to tell her attendant, "Xiang Qi, go out and take a look."
The follower named Xiang Qi bowed and responded.
He took the order and walked outside the granary, only to see many corpses lying on the ground, but no one from the Wei family was in sight.
There were a bunch of survivors nearby.
Xiang Qi was very alert at first, but seeing that the people were crowded together and did not come close, he picked up his weapon and destroyed the heads of all the corpses before dealing with the group of people.
"Who are you?"
At this time, Ji Yao walked near the granary under the protection of a group of people. He was so scared when he saw the dead bodies on the ground that he trembled.
"We are from the county magistrate's office, and this is our eldest son." Someone explained.
Ji Yao's face turned pale as he asked, "Can we go in and talk? It's too scary outside."
When Xiang Qi heard this, he looked at him as if he were a fool.
No one knows each other, no one knows whether he is an enemy or a friend, and all the subordinates are not there, so how could they let anyone into the granary?
He refused decisively, "The guards are not here. We need their permission to enter the granary. You guys just wait."
So what if he is the county magistrate’s son? The princess is still in there.
After saying that, he ignored these people, returned to the granary and closed the door.
Ji Yao: "..."
The servants had no choice but to take their men to protect the eldest son in the middle, and a group of people stood guard outside the door, waiting for the person who could make the decision to come back.
How could a dignified young man from the county magistrate's mansion have ever felt so aggrieved?
This wait lasted for two hours.
It was not until the messenger reached Dongwu that the soldiers escorted the men back to the granary.
When I came back, I saw a large group of people sitting on the ground at the door.
The people who had been rescued by Ji Yao and others hurried forward to express their gratitude.
"If you want to thank someone, thank our eldest son. It was my eldest son who ordered the rescue." said the servant.
The little fat boy looks fair and clean. Even in today's environment, he still keeps himself clean, well-dressed and tidy.
Hearing this, he straightened his chest and prepared to accept everyone's gratitude.
Wei Lang blinked and blurted out, "You look so plump."
Ji Yao's face instantly fell. Calling him plump just means he's fat. He hated being called fat the most!
He was furious and glared at Wei Lang, "Do you know how to speak?"
"My cousin is ignorant, please don't take it to heart." Several cousins hurriedly apologized to Ji Yao.
Wei Lang was completely confused and didn't know what he did wrong. He was telling the truth.
My sister said that children should not lie.
Ji Yao was not in a position to argue, so he suppressed his anger. After a while, he remembered the main matter, "We are here to look for someone. The soldiers said they came to the granary to ask for food, but the person disappeared..."
Wei Li patted his head upon hearing this, "Ah! I know that."
The fifth cousin did give him a letter, saying that it was for the soldiers stationed at the granary, and that if anyone came to look for the yamen soldiers, they should give it to them.
………
The guard who was supposed to go back to report the news had not arrived yet.
Wei Xiyin found Gong Liulang and explained her purpose.
"Sixth Young Master, since you have nothing to do anyway, why don't you help me look for a salt mine nearby?" She was not polite at all.
Mining iron ore requires manpower, and there is a shortage of manpower now, so it can be postponed.
You can go look for the salt mine first, and then send people to get salt after the high wall is built.
When Gong Liulang heard this, his hand trembled and the water in the cup spilled out, scalding him so much that he quickly put the cup down.
"Did the girl find the wrong person?"
Wei Xiyin caught a glimpse of his scalded fingers from the corner of her eye. "You're right. Everyone in the fortress has their own duties and things to do. This is a good opportunity for you, Mr. Liu, to get some exercise."
You can't even hold a glass of water, you are so weak.
Gong Liulang: “…”
He immediately understood her look of disdain and could only say, "Rock salt is indeed more convenient than sea salt for the girl you want, but rock salt deposits are hard to find, and Ling County may not have any."
Wei Xiyin was pleased to hear this and said, "Sixth Young Master knows a lot. It seems that it is right to entrust this matter to you."
Gong Liulang took a deep breath, and the expression on his face almost couldn't be held tight.
"Crow Mountain is so big and rich in mineral resources. How can you know there are none if Liu Langjun doesn't go out and look for them?"
Wei Xiyin patted herself and stood up, saying solemnly and seriously, "Well, it's settled. Tomorrow I will send twenty guards to accompany Liu Langjun up the mountain to conduct an investigation."
With that she said goodbye and left.
He came and left in a hurry, leaving Gong Liulang no chance to refuse.
Gong Liulang stood there in a daze, and it took him a long time to calm down.
It seems that when dealing with Miss Wei, what you say and do is not important, you need to be thick-skinned.
Wei Xiyin walked out of the house, lowered her eyelids, and thought about the next arrangements as she walked.
The first batch of vegetable seeds have been planted in the farmland on the mountain and the ditches have been built.
Those fields were new, the soil was average, and there was no telling how much we could harvest. The weather was unpredictable, so we had to prepare for summer droughts and store water in advance. It would be best to dig a few reservoirs in the shade of the mountains and store some drinking water in the fort.
Since it is a survival challenge, food, clothing, housing and transportation are all indispensable.
The houses outside the wall must also be built as soon as possible so that all the people can move in to live outside.
After thinking about it, it seems that there is still a lot that needs to be done and there is a shortage of manpower everywhere.
Wei Xiyin sighed deeply. The world is already so difficult. Even if she doesn't have a golden finger, some labor will do.
After clearing out zombies outside for several days, no survivors were found.
Where did the survivors of Ling County go?
God, please give us some more people.
As they were walking, Wei Xiyin suddenly stopped.
A light bulb went off in her head, and she suddenly remembered her grandfather's hot spring villa. It seemed that after bringing the children back, no one had visited the villa again...
Could it be that it's dark under the lamp and people are hiding there?
Thinking of this, Wei Xiyin hurried towards the camp and ordered the guards to go to the villa immediately to check.
It was also at this time that the two guards who reported the news finally rushed back to the fort.
When I entered the dock, I happened to see the girl standing at the entrance of the camp.
The guard hurriedly reported, "Miss, the gentlemen were ambushed in Changlan Village. The sergeant, out of consideration for the safety of the gentlemen, ordered his subordinates to return and report the news!"
