Wei Xiyin slept until dawn.
Seeing that it was bright outside, she hurriedly got up from the bed, put on her clothes, and asked Ning Shuang: "What time is it outside? Why didn't you call me?"
As a junior, she naturally had to go to keep vigil. Except for her cousins who had not yet returned from transporting grain, everyone else was there, but she slept alone until dawn.
This is so rude.
Ning Shuang hurriedly said, "Don't worry, young lady. It's only the morning hour now, it's still early. The head of the family said that no female relatives are needed for the first night's vigil, so everyone can go there during the day."
The only child left in the fourth room now is the five-year-old Wei Guqiu. The child is too young and there are concerns that he may not be able to endure the night, so the uncles and aunts of the Ming generation stayed there to watch over him on the first night.
Wei Xiyin was slightly surprised, "It's only the morning of the 11th? It's dawn so early?"
"Girl, have you forgotten? Summer is coming soon." Ningshuang thought that the girl was confused in her sleep.
Wei Xiyin nodded when she heard this. She had been so busy all day that she had indeed forgotten.
She washed up, ate two steamed buns, and called Wei Lang to go to the mourning hall.
Before, because every household had someone die and the fort was unstable, they were busy surviving and didn't need to keep vigil. But now everyone is here, the fourth old lady is gone, and as the younger generation, they should follow the rules.
When Wei Xiyin and Wei Lang rushed over, several uncles were discussing the issue of the child in a low voice.
Wei Mingkuan said, "Let Gu Qiu follow me. My cousin entrusted Fourth Aunt and the child to him before his death. I feel so ashamed of my cousin. I will definitely raise Gu Qiu into a man."
Wei Mingze frowned slightly. "How can a grown man like you take care of your little niece? Don't forget that Gu Qiu still has Ming Yuan, his uncle. As the only military commander in the clan, Ming Yuan will definitely be safe."
Wei Mingkuan fought hard, "There's no news from my third cousin now. Gu Qiu has lost many relatives one after another, so he needs someone to take care of him."
"Then can you take care of the child?" Wei Mingze asked, and then continued, "What Gu Qiu needs most now is someone to care for him. The women are attentive and can take care of him easily. And even if you can take care of him, do you think you will just stay in the house to take care of the child and not come out to work for the clan?"
Wei Mingkuan was speechless.
But he was still worried. "The child was born in Yuyang and has never met any of the tribe members. My cousin is also worried that she won't be able to get used to living with unfamiliar relatives."
Upon hearing this, Wei Mingze's expression became heavy, and he sighed, "You'll eventually get used to it."
They are just discussing this matter now and cannot make a decision yet. They still have to consult the clan leader.
The second branch, which was originally a large family, now has only one child left, Wei Wenkang; the fifth branch has only one child left, Wei Ting; and the fourth branch now has only one child left, Wei Guqiu.
I just hope nothing happens to Mingyuan.
………
And at this time.
Wei Mingyuan, who was far away in Liangzhou, immediately launched a rescue operation in the country after the beginning of spring. He led 3,000 soldiers to capture Cangsong County and spent more than a month to clear the entire county and complete the rescue of surrounding villages.
The monsters at this time had become much stronger and were no longer as easy to deal with as before. Everyone felt heavy-hearted when they thought of their relatives at home.
The Wei family troops stationed in Liangzhou come from all corners of the country, and almost all states and counties have them. In the current situation, no one can rush back and can only obey the general's arrangements. I hope my family is safe and sound.
After clearing the city, all the surviving people moved into the county town. The two city gates were closed and the city became very safe. They began to spontaneously clean the streets, repair houses and look for supplies.
Wei Mingyuan selected a group of capable people to manage the surviving people and set regulations before leaving with his soldiers and rushing to Jincheng.
Jincheng had already been destroyed, and the fourth brother's family was nowhere to be found. It took him several days to finally find them.
A blessing in disguise.
When the zombie outbreak occurred, Wei Mingsheng happened to be on vacation that day, so he took his family to a mountain resort to escape the summer heat.
Knowing that there was chaos in the city, he was worried about the situation in his jurisdiction and wanted to go down the mountain to check, but the people who had fled to the mountain told him that Jincheng had fallen and all the nearby villages had suffered, and there was nothing they could do to save the situation.
Seeing Wei Mingyuan rushing over with his men regardless of the danger.
Wei Mingsheng excitedly stepped forward and saluted, "Third cousin."
He turned his head and only saw Wei Ling, but not Wei Mingyuan's other wives and children. His face turned slightly pale and he quickly understood.
Wei Mingyuan didn't explain anything, and said in a deep voice: "Pack your things, we will rush back to Yizhou tomorrow."
The world is in chaos and all people are suffering.
They are just mortals. They have to take care of themselves first before they can take care of others.
………
The view returns to the dock.
A few days later, the young men came back with food and learned the situation. Since their fourth uncle's grandmother would be buried the next day, as the younger generation, they should wear mourning clothes and keep vigil.
The next day.
After the fourth old lady was buried, all the clan members left the fort.
The long team arrived at the ancestral cemetery, with the soldiers escorting them along the way.
Yuyang government soldiers and many civilians also came out to see the old lady off.
In today's world, it is a blessing for an old man to return to his roots.
Also buried together were Wei Mingyan and Wei Minghuai, as well as the female members of their family and their children. Since there were no remains, a cenotaph was built, an empty grave was set up, and a tombstone was engraved.
Enter the ancestral cemetery.
The rows of new graves in the outer circle are so suffocating.
Wei Xiyin then remembered that Qingming Festival had passed. At that time, she was taking people to Changlan Village and did not come to sweep the graves.
Wei Ji seemed to read her thoughts and said, "Those who achieve great things don't care about trivial matters. Rules are dead, and the living are more important. No one in the tribe will blame you for taking risks outside. Even those who died in the afterlife wouldn't hold it against you if they knew about it."
Wei Xiyin nodded, "My granddaughter knows, and she's not dwelling on it."
