At Kang Ningxia's request, Shu Jiaying prepared a large table of delicious dishes in the evening. After dinner, everyone went home. Shu Jiaying also prepared some things because she decided to go to Fengyun Town early the next morning.
the next day
Shu Jiaying arrived at the ferry early in the morning. Because Fengyun Town was closed, there were very few villagers coming to the ferry. After waiting for a long time, Shu Jiaying finally waited for a boat from outside.
Shu Jiaying hurried to the ferry and waved.
When the boatman approached the ferry, he asked Shu Jiaying.
"Girl, where are you going?"
"I want to go to the ferry terminal in Fengyun Town. Uncle, is it on your way?"
The boatman asked in surprise, "You're going to Fengyun Town at this time? Miss, don't you know that Fengyun Town has been sealed off?"
"I know, but there's a seriously ill patient at home, and I have to go to Fengyun Town to get some medicine, so please give me a ride, uncle."
Although the boatman sympathized with Shu Jiaying's situation, he still advised, "Miss, it's not that I won't give you a ride, but even if I take you to Fengyun Town, you won't be able to enter the town then, right? I think you should give up this idea. If you go to the town and can't come back, you'll also make your seriously ill family member worry about you."
"Uncle, thank you very much for your reminder, but I really want to go to Fengyun Town, and I have made up my mind. Can I get on the boat now?"
Since Shu Jiaying had said so, the boatman didn't know what to say. He could only nod and agree, "Go ahead! Alas...you, girl, you are just a little stubborn."
Faced with such comments, Shu Jiaying just nodded, paid the fare, and walked silently to the stern and sat down.
The boat sailed on the water for nearly twenty minutes before finally arriving at Fengyun Town. Similar to Guangming Village, there were not many people at the Fengyun Town ferry at that time.
Shu Jiaying got off the boat and walked to a nearby shore. She saw a security fence at the entrance to the town, and soldiers were standing in front of the fence.
Knowing that it was not easy to enter the town, Shu Jiaying casually walked to the guardrail, and the soldiers guarding the fence immediately stopped her.
"What are you doing? Go away quickly. Fengyun Town has been sealed off. No one is allowed to enter the town."
The soldiers' voices alarmed the trapped homeless people in the town. They rushed to the guardrail and pleaded with the soldiers, "Brother Bing, please let us go. We are not residents of Fengyun Town at all. Now you have locked us up in the town. We can't go home and we don't have a place to live in Fengyun Town. Isn't this asking for our lives?"
"Brother Bing, my mother is still waiting for me. If I don't get the medicine and bring it home to my mother, she will be in great danger."
The young man swarming in the front had red eyes and bloodshot whites. Unwilling to be locked up here, he finally grabbed the hand of an officer and shook it hard, then he suddenly fainted on the ground.
Soon, voices came one after another from the crowd.
"It's over. There's someone here who's infected with the plague. He's so close to us. Will we get infected too?"
"It's death, death! We're going to be arrested and quarantined. Those people in quarantine are all sick. I don't want to be contaminated by them. Let's run away... let's run away!"
