At noon, someone from Mingjingtang came running to the old house with a look of panic on their faces.
This matter is of great importance and must be consulted with the clan leader.
"Chief, word has spread in the fortress that corpses need to be cleansed of evil spirits before they can rest in peace. What should we do with the clan members who were buried there before?" Hearing that reincarnation would be impossible if the evil spirits were not exorcised, the Wei clan members panicked.
Wei Ji was silent, knowing immediately that it was his granddaughter who did it.
What else can we do? We can't dig out the bodies of our tribesmen and then cremate them.
The bodies of the clan members were processed, placed in sealed coffins, and buried in the Wei family's ancestral tomb, with little impact on the outside world.
But now we need to stabilize people's hearts first.
Wei Ji said: "First, have someone go to the ancestral hall to copy the scriptures and give them to the clan members, and then perform two rituals to calm them down."
If it really doesn't work, just plan it.
Wei Ji agreed with his granddaughter's proposal of cremation. The epidemic was too contagious, and many of the fields and water sources outside were contaminated.
If the corpses are not handled in a unified manner, the outside world will be full of viruses in the future, which will accelerate the deterioration of the living environment.
The people from Mingjingtang immediately took the order and arranged for people to go to the ancestral hall to copy the scriptures.
Wei Xiyin comforted the people and returned home feeling relaxed.
Find an excuse for cremation and lay the groundwork so that it can be promoted justifiably in the future.
Sure enough, only magic can defeat magic in this world.
………
Time passes quickly.
Four days later.
A guard came to report that all the traps outside the county gate had been set.
Wei Xiyin went to the county gate again two days ago and ordered people to add two new sheep and horse walls outside the city gate.
The overall wall is in an arc shape. When the city gate is broken, the zombies rushing out can be diverted to prevent a large army of zombies from pouring out in an instant, breaking through the defense line and making the situation uncontrollable.
There are currently 310 people in the southeast camp, including the Wei clan members participating in training, and 240 people in the southwest camp.
But two hundred soldiers were transferred from the grain transport department, along with a hundred tribesmen who were building the city wall.
They have too few people to use.
"My lady, there are a total of 300 soldiers in the camps on both sides. They are ready to go and will set off at dawn tomorrow." Qin Shan said, "In addition, the Yizhou army will also go together." Chang Ying is not here, so the southwest camp is temporarily arranged by Qin Shan.
I don’t know what Gong Liulang said to Zhang Yuanyan to make him give up the idea of going to Guangping.
Since returning to the dock, Zhang Yuanyan never mentioned leaving again. He became listless, full of worries, and rarely appeared in public.
Wei Xiyin thought for a moment and said, "Once we leave, the fort's defenses will become weak. We might as well take all 130 prisoners with us to prevent them from taking the opportunity to cause trouble."
By piecing together these people, there are more than 500 people.
As for the clansmen and people who stayed in the fort, she had already discussed everything with Mingjingtang.
It is impossible to clear the entire city of zombies in one day. The subsequent supply issues will be transported by the people in the dock.
"yes!"
Wang Tie and the yamen soldiers and others just learned last night that they don’t have to go out to quarry today and can take a day off.
Who would have thought that before they could breathe a sigh of relief, a guard came to inform them that they would follow the Wei family's troops to attack Ling County tomorrow.
Wang Tie: “…” I really want to curse. I’m not a donkey pushing a millstone, and you don’t let me rest for a moment.
The captain was thinking a lot. As soon as the guard who delivered the message left, he turned around and asked his subordinates, "Is the Wei family planning to clean up Ling County?"
Having stayed in the fort for a few days, the high walls outside rose up at a speed visible to the naked eye. The excavated foundations and the farmland passed by on the way to the quarry every day showed that the Wei family wanted to expand the security range and ensure people's livelihood.
Wang Tie sarcastically said, "What does it have to do with you? Could it be that the government still wants to rely on the Wei family?"
The two groups of people stayed together all day long. It was like enemies meeting each other with jealousy, let alone seeing each other every day. Wang Tie felt uncomfortable unless he said something to them.
Unexpectedly, what Wang Tie said came true.
The captain rarely spoke back and lowered his head in thought.
Qingyang County is the seat of Qinghe County. When the monster broke out, the captain happened to be ordered by the county governor to follow Dalangjun out of the city on business. As it was getting late, the group stayed overnight in a nearby village.
Unexpectedly, something happened in the middle of the night.
After they ran out, they rescued villagers from nearby villages.
It was common knowledge that there were troops stationed in the granary. Qingyang County was very close to the granary, and they wanted to go to the granary to hide, but when they arrived, they found that the outside of the granary was full of monsters wearing Yizhou Army uniforms.
The group had no choice but to avoid it.
Later, the temperature dropped sharply. In order to avoid the wind and snow, their hiding place changed again and again, getting farther and farther away from the granary.
The previous trip to ask for food was actually the captain's second visit to the granary. At first, he didn't dare to get too close. Only when he saw the figures of Wang Tie and others did he realize that there were still living people in the granary.
Ji Dalangjun and the people waited for a long time for no one to return, and wondered if they would send someone to the granary again.
The captain had his own considerations. After all, the Qinghe Wei clan was a prominent family, with many of their members serving in the imperial court. If the Wei clan intended to stabilize Qinghe County, then as soldiers serving in the county magistrate's office, why couldn't they follow them?
At least it is very safe here, and the people who have been hiding with them can have a safe place to stay.
We still have to think of a way to notify Dalangjun.
The next day.
Mingjingtang issued a notice yesterday that everyone in the fortress should stay indoors today.
It was a rare day off, so everyone stayed indoors and there were very few people walking on the streets.
Before daybreak, Qin Shan had already assembled the team. In addition to some necessary bows, crossbows and weapons, he would also bring all twenty heavy crossbow carts.
