After walking for two days, they finally walked out of the forest.
Looking at the ferry in the distance, everyone's eyes were filled with tears of excitement.
Finally, finally here.
Just as everyone was about to go over to take the boat, Suman noticed the officers and soldiers stationed at the ferry.
Su Man stopped the impatient villagers and said, "Village chief, please wait a moment. Look, there are many soldiers stationed there."
The village chief also noticed this, but at the moment his heart was filled with the excitement of going south, so he casually said, "I guess they are helping refugees cross the river."
Su Man frowned. She always felt that things were not that simple.
Previously, Wang Laowu and his family encountered soldiers and officers. The soldiers killed people and robbed their goods without even asking any questions. It really didn’t seem like they cared about the refugees.
Su Man thought for a moment and said, "Village Chief, since we're already here, there's no need to rush. Let's take a look first and make sure there's no danger before we go over."
Although the village chief felt that Suman was being overly cautious, after all, Suman had helped everyone a lot along the way, so he still respected Suman's opinion and found two people to explore the way.
After a while, the people who went to explore the way came back.
"There were two boats on the river. The soldiers were guarding the larger one, while the smaller one belonged to the common people."
"Is there any danger?" Su Man asked.
"It's dangerous to be there with soldiers. We'd better hurry over. If it's too late, the boat will leave and we won't be able to cross the river."
"Now that the boat has left, we don't know how long we have to wait before we can cross the river. We better hurry over."
"Yeah yeah."
Seeing that there was only a river between them and the south, everyone was anxious.
The village chief also advised Su Man, "Man girl, I know you are cautious. But Lao Wu and the others were killed by the soldiers because they were thought to be bandits. We are all good citizens, and the soldiers will not harm us."
"Yes, maybe the soldiers who killed people were fake, or maybe they weren't real soldiers."
Everyone said so, Su Man had no choice but to give in, "Okay, let's go over there."
-
A lot of people had already gathered at the ferry, but the area near the dock was guarded by soldiers and no one dared to go over.
The people in front couldn't get in, and the people behind kept squeezing in. Su Man almost couldn't stand, so she quickly pulled the child to stand in front of her.
Seeing more and more people coming, the village chief felt scared.
"It's a good thing we came early. If we were late, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to get on the boat."
At the dock, men, women, young and old were crowded together, mixed with the cries of children and the curses of men.
As time went on, the refugees became noisy.
"What's going on? Why are the officers and soldiers surrounding the dock?"
"You won't let us cross the river, will you?"
“…”
When they thought of this possibility, everyone fell into panic.
Getting here has cost them almost everything they have.
If you can't cross the river,
