Chapter 916: Duofu is in danger and requests to go to the island (3rd update)
Dense leaves?
Jiang Fuyue was stunned.
I didn’t expect it was her!
After the competition ended that year, Fan Ye's ranking was high enough to get her admitted to any university in the country, including University B and University Q.
There are even several top-ranked foreign universities in the world that have extended olive branches to her.
But Fan Ye refused.
She said, "I'm still young. I want to go back to Duofu."
Many people didn’t understand at that time, including my friends who were competing with me.
Duofu was so remote and so poor. Fanye was so lucky to have the opportunity to leave that place, but she actually gave up?!
Fan Ye didn't explain anything and packed her luggage silently, still using the snakeskin bag even though she already had a better suitcase.
"Sister Yue," Jiang Fuyue sent her to the station. Fan Ye suddenly smiled at her. "Others may not understand me, but I know you definitely do, right?"
Jiang Fuyue was stunned.
"Everyone says how poor and backward we are, and they all think I should leave. But it is precisely because we are so poor and backward that I should go back!"
"I've seen the outside world; it's so beautiful, splendid, and colorful. But the people of Duofu haven't. They don't know how wonderful it is out there, so they cling to their old ways and are hostile and xenophobic. If those who have seen the world leave, Duofu will always remain that poor, backward island, and the people of Duofu will never have access to electricity for lighting, running water for washing clothes, and cooking."
"So, Sister Yue, I have to go back! That's my hometown. There are my family, friends, and many other islanders who haven't enjoyed the benefits of modern society."
At that moment, there seemed to be light in Fanye's eyes: "I know that I am very small and naive, but I still want to give it a try to see if I can help Duofu improve a little bit, even if it's just a little bit."
"Like my father, he is so knowledgeable and knows much more than I do. He seems to have had a wonderful life experience outside the island, but he still chose to stay in Duofu to protect his people."
"I'm not as great as my father. Maybe one day I'll leave the island to learn more, or I might gradually lose my determination to persevere in the hopeless days ahead. But—"
Fan Ye smiled, a vibrant energy on her dark, thin face: "That's all for the future. At least I don't want to leave now, and I haven't lost hope for the future. So I want to do it!"
Jiang Fuyue touched her head: "You are very brave."
"Yeah! I think so too! Sister Yue, can we...see each other again in the future?"
"Don't worry, I'll go to Duofu to see you."
"Really?! You're really coming?!"
"Yes, I will come."
This was a promise made by Jiang Fuyue himself.
In her previous life, she promised Fan Sheng, and in this life, she promised Fan Ye.
It must be fulfilled!
now……
"Fan Ye, what happened? Tell me slowly."
A choked sob came from the little girl on the other end, "Sister Yue, please save our people, they are dying!"
Jiang Fuyue's eyes suddenly turned cold: "Tell me carefully."
"Since November last year, people have been falling ill on the island. Those who contracted the disease initially had chills and shivering, then developed fever, convulsions, and vomiting. After a few days, some recovered, while others died, especially children. Almost no one survived."
Jiang Fuyue turned on the speaker and Xie Dingyuan was also listening.
Chills all over the body, chills, fever, and convulsions are symptoms of many infectious diseases. This alone is not enough to determine what specific disease it is.
Jiang Fuyue pondered for a moment and asked her, "Is the mortality rate high, sir?"
"half."
"So many..." Jiang Fuyue frowned and looked at Xie Dingyuan. Both of them realized that something was wrong.
"Have you informed higher authorities? Have you sought medical assistance?"
Fan Ye: "When some people first started to get sick, I called and they sent a medical team to the island, but the people were very resistant and unwilling to receive treatment. Plus, people kept dying during that time, so they became even more distrustful..."
In fact, she was being quite tactful.
When the medical team first arrived on the island, dozens of villagers armed with weapons blocked the dock, which scared the group of young doctors.
It was Fan Sheng who stepped in to stabilize the situation and prevent anyone from being killed.
After much persuasion, they agreed to let the medical team stay on the island temporarily to treat the tribesmen.
After a period of time, the treatment was not effective and the sick people died one after another. The tribesmen who had been patient for a long time completely exploded, and this time even the tribe leader Fan Sheng could not stop them.
The medical team was driven away, and the patients went to witch doctors for treatment, but a large number of babies and adults still died.
Fan Ye tried to seek help from the government again, but the ignorant tribesmen refused to accept it and even spoke ill of her.
Some said that she had become wild after going out and no longer had much ambition. Some extreme people even directly called her a traitor and demanded that she be dealt with strictly.
Fan Sheng was not someone to be trifled with, so he dealt with a few troublemakers and tried his best to protect his daughter.
But the disease is still raging, and the entire Duofu Island is shrouded in the shadow of death.
Fan Ye wanted to do something for everyone. She tried to popularize the advanced modern medical technology and wanted them to believe in doctors and science, but the tribesmen simply didn't listen.
They stubbornly stuck to traditions and refused to accept new things. Fan Ye almost cried and begged them.
Unfortunately, it is of no use at all.
Seeing more and more people dying, she had no other choice but to grit her teeth and call Jiang Fuyue.
"I'm sorry, Sister Yue, today is New Year's Day. Your whole family must be celebrating happily, but I... I really have no other choice..."
"Fan Ye, listen to me."
The sobbing sound on the other end became quieter.
Jiang Fuyue: "You should ask your father to calm everyone down first. We must not panic at this time. I don't know if the three major families on the island still exist. If they are still as ambitious as they were twenty years ago and want to seize power from your father, then they are the first ones to be guarded against!"
Fan Ye was stunned.
How did Sister Yue know that there were three big families on the island?
This can’t be found on the Internet!
Even ordinary islanders don’t know...
How did she know?
Outside the house, separated by a leaky door, Fan Sheng was also stunned.
Sister Yue... Yue...
Agta!
Is she back?!
"Secondly, seek help from your superiors as soon as possible. You should have special communication channels. Even if doctors cannot come to the island, you must ensure the supply of basic medicines."
Even if people don't go to the island, medicines must be delivered.
Fan Ye nodded: "Okay!"
Jiang Fuyue: "Finally, have your father go find the witch doctor and warn him not to prescribe medicine recklessly and incite the tribe. If he doesn't listen, take action if necessary!"
Fan Ye was stunned.
Sister Yue actually knew about witch doctors? And... she took action directly?
Are you serious?
The witch doctor enjoyed a very high status on the island, and her father usually had to be polite to him when he saw him.
"Are you really going to do it?"
Jiang Fuyue laughed: "Just tell your father, he knows what to do."
"...Ah? Okay! Um, Sister Yue, do you know my father?"
Jiang Fuyue paused.
Xie Dingyuan also looked down at her.
After a while, she hummed softly: "I know him."
But Fan Sheng probably wouldn't recognize her now.
Outside the door, the man's body suddenly froze, and the next second, hot tears burst out of his eyes.
"Also, please keep indoor ventilation, avoid drinking raw water, and prevent mosquito bites. After the fever-reducing medicine arrives, each household will be given some, and the dosage will be clearly stated."
"Okay!" Fan Ye seemed to have found his backbone and cheered up again, "I'll do it right away."
Jiang Fuyue: "I will apply to my superiors and personally lead the team to the island."
…
After answering the phone, Jiang Fuyue and Xie Dingyuan returned to the private room.
Two old men were sitting around a chessboard, playing against Han Ting. It was two against one, but the situation was not optimistic, because the two old men's brows were so twisted that they could kill a mosquito.
Fu Wanxiu, Shi Qingzhi, Han Yunru and Xie Yunzao gathered together to play mahjong. The two old ladies were obviously "old mahjong masters" and their every move showed composure.
Xie Yunzao is not bad either. He usually plays with those young ladies and practices at any time.
Han Yunru was unfamiliar with the card-drawing technique and her reaction was not as fast as the other three.
But she has good luck and can get almost any card she wants.
Even if you lose money, you can only bet small amounts; but if you win, you will definitely win big!
Xie Yunzao: "If I had your good luck, I would have been invincible long ago."
Shi Qingzhi smiled and nodded: "Xiaoru has been lucky since she was young. She can even guess the right answer in exams."
The women were chatting and laughing, playing mahjong.
On the men's side, Zhong Yunyi, Han Shen and Han Ke were playing Landlord.
The three men all wanted to light a cigarette, but no one dared, so they could only play with it in their hands. When they were addicted, they would smell it.
Han Heng took Jiang Chenxing to play a mobile game that he had just endorsed.
Everyone has their own fun, and everyone has a smile on their face.
"Hey, Yueyue, Ayuan, you guys are back? Have you chosen your wine? The restaurant has already started serving the food."
The two exchanged glances, and finally Xie Dingyuan spoke: "Sorry, there's an emergency that needs to be attended to. Yueyue and I need to leave soon."
"Huh? Why are you leaving before you even have dinner?"
Xie Dingyuan took their coats and handed Jiang Fuyue's over. "This is an emergency. I can't say more."
Jiang Fuyue got dressed and picked up her bag: "You guys have a good time during the festival and have fun. We're leaving first!"
After saying that, the two of them left like a gust of wind.
"W-what's going on?"
"Maybe the higher-ups are urgently recruiting..."
Everyone's heart sank.
The Han family and Jiang Da were still frightened by the last time Jiang Fuyue went to the Shenkewo virus epidemic area in Continent F. At this moment, their faces were full of anxiety.
In the end, it was Fu Wanxiu, who had seen many storms, who stepped forward to calm everyone down.
"...Over the years, A-Yuan has been coming and going in all weathers, leaving at a moment's notice. I've gotten used to it. Our children are dedicating themselves to the country and working for the well-being of the people. As parents, we shouldn't hold them back! Today is a holiday, and they must be hoping we can be happy too."
The atmosphere warmed up, but it was not as lively as before.
…
Xie Dingyuan immediately reported the situation of Duofu Island to his superiors.
The organization attached great importance to it and held an emergency meeting immediately.
It was finally decided that Xie Dingyuan and Jiang Fuyue would lead the team to the island together.
The departure time is scheduled for three days later.
During this time, Jiang Fuyue and Xie Dingyuan began preparing medicines, arranging supplies, and counting personnel...
Everything was ready soon.
But late at night the day before departure, Xie Dingyuan was called away by a phone call.
At dawn, Jiang Fuyue received a notice——
Xie Dingyuan can't go to the island! She has to lead the team alone!
Three o'clock.
