Pharaoh told everyone what he and Moses had promised.
Let the people gather all the Hebrews together and wait for him to deliver the Hebrews into Moses' hands and fulfill his promise.
The news spread like wildfire, and the people erupted in waves of excited cheers and tears.
For the civilians who have been living in fear and despair for a long time,
This is not only a signal of liberation, but also the dawn of rebirth.
They hugged each other and cried, their tears reflecting both the release from past suffering and the desire for future freedom.
Under the Pharaoh's order, an unprecedented assembly operation quietly began.
The slaves seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, gathering from all directions at a speed that was astonishing.
Most of the slaves were reunited within just one day, and the power of unity and hope shook the entire royal city.
However, not everyone is willing to let go of this "wealth" easily.
A few plantation owners held on to their slaves tightly; after all, they were their wealth.
But their persistence soon collapsed under the Pharaoh's wrath.
The soldiers were like a torrent of steel, ruthlessly carrying out the Pharaoh's will and conquering the stubborn farmers one by one.
…
Two days is enough to change a lot of things.
The scale of the temporary gathering place used as a retreating Hebrew settlement gradually grew.
In the slave camp.
Those corners that were once shrouded in illness and despair.
Now there are only a few lives left who need special care due to injuries, pregnancy or young children.
What gleamed in their eyes were no longer tears of despair, but longing and expectation for a new life.
The evacuation was carried out in an orderly manner, and every Hebrew's face was filled with excitement and gratitude for regaining their freedom.
The deal between Moses and Pharaoh was like an invisible shackle that restrained the Egyptians from using cruel methods against the Hebrews.
They knew that if the previous atrocities were repeated, it would not only anger Moses, the leader with divine power.
It is more likely to cause the entire transaction to collapse in an instant and become empty talk.
Therefore, even though they were unwilling, the Egyptians could only suppress their anger.
Instead, with unprecedented patience and caution, he helped the Hebrews embark on their journey home.
However,
There are often undercurrents beneath the calm.
As the Hebrews gradually withdrew, the tense situation began to relax and people's attention shifted.
In this rare leisure time.
Some details that were previously covered up by tension and anxiety quietly surfaced.
Deep in the palace.
In that solemn hall, the Pharaoh's figure appeared particularly solemn.
He half leaned on the throne, his upper body leaning forward involuntarily, as if he wanted to verify the incredible miracle himself.
There was a tremor in his voice:
"Is what you said true? Has the water of the Nile really become much clearer?"
"Those disgusting frogs, flies, and those torturous lice have almost disappeared?!"
“Even the boils on the people’s hands and the plagues raging among the livestock have been greatly alleviated?”
When the soldier heard this, his eyes sparkled with excitement.
He nodded vigorously, his voice trembling slightly with excitement:
"Yes, Your Majesty! This is all true! The entire country is undergoing an unprecedented transformation, and the disaster is about to pass!"
…
Feng Feng and the other six people who had been following Pharaoh were not surprised at all.
Jin Shile took out a piece of hard dried meat from his storage bag and took a big bite.
He chewed and mumbled:
"It's been almost two weeks and they finally found out!"
There was a hint of subtle excitement in his tone.
It seemed as if the long wait and hard work had finally been rewarded at this moment.
They worked so hard to deal with the blood disaster, but these Egyptians were able to ignore the changes as big as a river for so long.
After the ice on the Nile melted, the color was so diluted that it took two days for the color to show up.
This slowness made Feng Feng and the other six feel helpless and amused.
Seeing this, Feng Feng gently patted Jin Shile's shoulder.
Then he took the remaining dried meat from the other person's hand.
"We don't have much food, and you don't have the hunger buff, so stop eating."
There was a mixture of seriousness and concern in his voice.
"Otherwise, wait and see what you'll eat later!"
Upon hearing this, Jin Shile showed an apologetic smile on his face.
There was a mischievous glint in those bright eyes.
"Hey, Old Feng, you've been stuck in this fantasy world for over a month now, your mouth is almost dry!"
“Indulge yourself occasionally and give your soul a break.”
There was a hint of self-mockery in his words, but he also revealed his helplessness at being in such a tense state for so long.
Although he doesn't feel thirsty or hungry, psychologically he wants to eat something heavy-tasting because he hasn't eaten meat for a long time.
Jin Shile continued, with a touch of emotion in his tone.
"Moreover, as the blood disaster gradually recedes, the restrictions we face are also decreasing. Perhaps in a couple of days, we can return to that detached state."
However, Feng Feng's face did not relax after hearing these words.
Instead, his brows were furrowed, and his worry was evident in his words.
"If only it were as smooth as you say."
"There are three more disasters waiting for us, and none of them will be easy to deal with."
"If it could go as smoothly as you said, I would be more than happy to do so, but..."
His words were filled with worry about the unknown and deep concern for the safety of the team.
Seeing this, Jin Shile gently patted Feng Feng's shoulder to comfort him.
"Old Four, don't be so pessimistic. Along the way, we've always escaped danger."
"Perhaps, it was because of our influence on the illusion that scared the three disasters into taking a detour!"
There was a hint of joking in his words, but they also revealed his firm belief in the future.
…
Outside.
Upon hearing the news that the river water had finally returned to clearness, Pharaoh was so excited that he could not express it in words.
He could hardly wait to lead his attendants, hurriedly stepped out of the majestic palace gate, and headed towards the Nile River.
Feng Feng and six others followed closely behind.
As the group approached the river.
Everyone saw with their own eyes that the river water, which was once as red as blood, had now become crystal clear and sparkling.
It was like the purest tears of nature, washing away the haze and fear of the past few days.
Pharaoh stood on the river bank, looking at this miracle, and his knees bent involuntarily.
He knelt on the ground, gently touching the cold river water with his hands, tears and hope flashing in his eyes.
"Good, the blood is gone, the disaster is over!"
His voice was soft but full of power, echoing in everyone's heart.
