Is this thing that serious? It must be alarmist.

I could only hear someone talking in the crowd.

"Did you hear what they were shouting?"

"What are you shouting? I heard it. The county magistrate is telling us to get down the mountain."

"No."

"What was that shouting?"

"They said not to gather in groups, and that there was a confirmed epidemic. I don't care. The sooner I get down the mountain, the sooner I can get some food."

The other person was so frightened that he took three steps back, almost sat on the ground, and stumbled over his words.

"Ah? Well, I... I'm not in a hurry. You go first, you go first."

Some people didn't take it seriously. They thought that dying of starvation or dying of illness was the same thing, so it was the same anyway. It was better to have a full meal.

Another group of people slowed down, trying to stay away from the crowd.

I didn’t expect them to confirm it this morning. I thought it would be delayed for a few days, which shows that the situation is quite urgent.

There is no need to rush to go down the mountain at this moment. You may not leave anyone behind and you don't have to squeeze with so many people.

The crowd slowed down noticeably.

The night watchmen quickly went to find the government officials and explained the situation.

After County Magistrate Liu learned about this, he changed the original plan. He decided not to allow the scope to be expanded, otherwise many people would die.

Originally a boat could carry many people, but now each family takes one boat. Going back and forth several times takes some time and effort, but this is indeed the best way at present.

The old lady is extremely afraid of death. Last night she heard the night watchmen say that people should not gather in groups. When she woke up in the morning, she stared at her surroundings intently. She would not allow even a mosquito to fly over, let alone a human being.

If anyone wanted to pass by, they would be absolutely unable to do so. The old lady's reputation as a shrew over the years had intimidated people, and they all stayed far away from here, not daring to get close.

Jinshui and Xiuli woke up before dawn and had to go back before grandma woke up.

No matter how hard we tried, we finally got ahead.

Seeing her two granddaughters standing there like nothing happened, the old lady spat and said to herself, "They are such bastards. They are so tough. It's so cold at night, but they are still jumping around."

Jinshui and Xiuli looked at each other and pretended not to hear. They continued with their work, busy making breakfast for the family.

Suddenly she heard someone shouting, but she couldn't make out what was being said. Xiuli stood up and wanted to go take a look, but she stopped in her tracks and looked back at her grandmother. She could only go after getting her grandmother's consent. If she went without her consent, she would be beaten because the injury on her leg from the last time had not healed yet.

The old lady also wanted to know, and when she saw Xiu Li wanted to go, she raised her hand and let her go.

Fugui poked his head out from under the quilt, curious and wanting to take a look too.

The old lady was afraid that he would go with Xiu Li and get infected with the disease again. No one could guarantee that the girl was not infected with the disease. Besides, it wasn't just the girl, she might run into other people too. She was really worried.

"My dear grandson, listen to grandma. We won't go. We'll have dinner soon. You've run so much that you might as well get a stomachache."

Fugui really wanted to go, even if he was full of wind, he still wanted to go. He couldn't just walk around. He was really feeling suffocated, and he wouldn't let go of this opportunity.

Fugui pouted and begged, "Grandma, please let me go. I will definitely stay away from everyone and I will ensure that I will not get sick."

The old lady's heart softened. She really couldn't refuse her precious grandson who was begging her so much.

I looked at him a few times and confirmed that he really wanted to go, so I let him go, as long as he didn't come into contact with other people.

After giving a few instructions, Fugui left alone.

He didn't understand what the epidemic was; he just thought it was novel and interesting.

When he saw Xiu Li walking in front of him, he ran a few steps to catch up with her.

I wanted to pat her shoulder to scare her, but Xiuli had already heard the voice. She turned around and saw it was Fugui. She was a little surprised that grandma actually allowed him to run around.

He took a few quick steps to create some distance.

"Why are you following me? Stay away from me, if grandma finds out..."

Fugui blinked his eyes, "She won't know. It'll be fine if I don't tell her."

Xiuli felt that it was a hassle to bring him along. If someone saw them and told her grandmother about it, she would be beaten to pieces.

"Go on your own, don't follow me."

Fugui saw that Xiu Li was really annoyed with him, so he decided not to join in the fun. He pouted and walked away on his own.

Xiuli stopped and could clearly hear the man's shouting.

I was delighted. Oh my God, the county magistrate came to rescue us. This is great news. I should go back and tell them.

When Fugui saw that Xiuli had turned around, he didn't want to go alone. He would be hearing the same thing anyway, and his feet were a little tired.

Just follow Xiu Li back. I am not familiar with this forest at all. If I don’t keep up, I might not be able to go back.

Xiuli knew very well that she must never appear in grandma's sight at the same time as Fugui.

Knowing that Fugui was following behind him, he turned around and said to him, "You go back first."

Fugui was a little confused, but he estimated that they were almost there. He just wasn't sure which direction to go.

Xiuli pointed in a direction and Fugui went there without hesitation.

When the old lady saw her precious grandson come back, she finally felt relieved and could not get enough of looking at him.

"Did you hear what they said?"

Fugui actually didn’t hear clearly because he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to find the way, but he was in a good mood to take a walk.

Just tell the truth, grandma won’t say anything about herself anyway.

"I walked for a while, it should be quite far, but I still couldn't hear clearly. I'm not familiar with this place, and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to find it, so I didn't walk any further."

The old lady was very pleased and smiled brightly, "My dear grandson, you did the right thing. Anyway, Xiu Li is here, she will definitely hear it."

"When you encounter something in the future, you have to be like this. Protecting yourself is the most important thing at all times."

Fugui knew that grandma would say this, without any burden at all.

Xiuli stood there for a while, calculating the time. She thought that A-nai would not suspect that she had met Fugui before, so she appeared in front of everyone.

The old lady's kind eyes suddenly changed and became fierce.

"You're so slow. Fugui has been back for a long time. He left even later than you."

Xiuli was used to it. She let Fugui scold her as much as he wanted. Even if Fugui came back later than her, she would still be scolded. The only difference was the content of the scolding was different.

Seeing that Xiu Li hadn't spoken, the old lady was so anxious about what that person was shouting that she shouted at her, "What's wrong? Are you mute?"

Xiu Li shook her head, "No, grandma."

"Then tell me quickly."

He told her everything he had heard.

The whole family was very happy. The old lady had not wanted to take advantage of the situation enough and wanted to get on the boat as soon as possible.

But when I thought about how there must be a lot of people here, I started to worry again.
