The next morning, Chu Changfeng set out with the three little ones. However, when they arrived at the city gate, the guards would not let them out.
He was stunned.
The little ones were also stunned.
"Why? Why don't you let us go out? People outside the city are not in danger, they are all farming!"
"Someone outside the city is infected. You can go out if you want, but don't even think about coming back in once you're out."
Chu Changfeng frowned. From what he said, it seemed that the disease contracted by the people outside was not an ordinary disease.
"Is it an infectious disease? How did they get it? They've been here for so long, and they just discovered it now?"
The guard shook his head. "There are wars going on in the Central Plains every day. Last month, there were heavy rains for more than half a month. I heard that there is a plague raging. It may have come from there."
Chu Changfeng's expression changed suddenly.
The three little ones didn’t know what the plague was. They were still young and had never encountered one in the years since they were born.
"Daddy, what is the plague?"
"Dad, is the plague a disease? Can we really not go out?"
The guard said sternly, "Don't come to the city again in the near future. Go back quickly. The closer you are to the city gate, the more unsafe it is."
Chu Changfeng took a deep breath and said, "Thank you. I'll take them back right away."
On the way back, the three little ones hung their heads, looking very lost.
Chu Changfeng didn't care about them, his mind was full of what the guard had just said.
plague……
This is not a joke.
If the refugees outside the city were really infected with the plague, it would probably spread into the city in no time.
Thinking of this, his heart tightened.
Shen Zhi hadn't left with Chu Xiaolin Zheng yet. Seeing that the father and son had just gone out and came back not long ago, she asked in confusion: "What's going on? Why are they all so dejected? Are they not going?"
Before Chu Changfeng could speak, Chu Jinnian pouted and said, "Mother, we can't leave the city. The guards at the city gate won't let us out."
Mumu: "They said...something about the plague..."
Shen Zhi's expression straightened instantly. Chu Xiao and Lin Zheng hurried over, "Mumu, what did you just say?"
Mumu was confused for a moment, but still answered obediently, "Grandpa and grandma, the guards said there is a plague outside the city. What is the plague?"
After hearing this, their legs suddenly went limp and they sat down stiffly.
Shen Zhi swallowed hard and looked at Chu Changfeng, "Mu... Is what Mumu said true? Is there really a plague outside the city?"
Chu Changfeng sighed, "It's still uncertain now. It's just that there may be an infectious disease outside the city, but the guards said that there is a war and heavy rain in the Central Plains, and there is an outbreak of plague. It is very likely..."
He paused, "If that's the case, it's very likely to be transmitted..."
Occasionally, one or two refugees would come from outside the city.
Since there were not many of them, the government did not take it seriously and just let them open up wasteland and cultivate the land outside, just like they did with other refugees in the past.
But no matter how many people there are, as long as one person is infected with an infectious disease, the final result will be unbearable for everyone.
Shen Zhi's face turned pale for a moment. Plague...
She had only heard of this disease and had never seen it, but in history, if someone got this disease, they would die...
Seeing her body shaky, Chu Changfeng hurriedly hugged her, "Zhizhi, don't worry, it's possible that things haven't reached that point. Maybe the people outside the city don't have an infectious disease at all, and the guards have stopped people from entering the city. Even if it's a plague, it can't be transmitted in."
Shen Zhi shook her head gently, "I'm fine."
Nowadays, several forces in the Central Plains are fighting every day, and no one has the time to deal with the plague.
Even though the Northern Territory is far away, it is impossible not to be affected.
I finally have a peaceful life, but it seems that this world won't allow us to live in peace.
"Zhizhi... just listen to me and don't let your imagination run wild. Everything will be fine."
Shen Zhi sat down and began to think.
The authorities have discovered the epidemic outside the city, and since the guards said so, it is probably true.
That means the disease existed earlier. Before they discovered it, people in the city would occasionally leave the city, and who knows if they would bring the virus back...
This county town is not necessarily safe now.
Restaurants and barbecue shops receive so many guests every day. It would be a terrible thing if someone among them was infected with the disease.
After thinking for a while, she looked up and said, "Restaurants and barbecue restaurants are closed for the next few days, and Uncle Lin's stinky tofu is also closed. Let's see what happens first."
As she spoke, she looked at the three little ones and said quickly, "Children, don't go to school yet. Ask the teacher for leave."
Chu Changfeng also knew that this was a critical moment, and what she said was the best way.
"Then mom and dad, go notify the barbecue restaurant, and let the restaurant know while you're there. I'll take the three little ones with me to ask for leave."
Chu Xiao and the other man nodded quickly.
When I left the house and walked onto the street, I could clearly feel that there were fewer people on the street, and everyone's behavior became a little panicked.
It seems that the news of the epidemic has spread.
It wasn't like this yesterday, which means it's the same as their family, and they just found out about it today.
No one dared to delay. When they arrived at the restaurant, Chu Xiao told the waiters to go home quickly and not to run around in the next few days. He also told them about the plague.
After hearing this, how dare you continue to contact customers? !
Chu Xiao posted a notice of temporary closure at the entrance of the restaurant, and that was the end of it.
Qin Jiuan packed his luggage and followed them out. Just as he reached the door, he thought for a moment and went back into the store. He opened the locked drawer at the counter and stuffed the purse and bracelet inside into his arms.
After another trip to the barbecue restaurant, they went back.
On the other side, Chu Changfeng also smoothly asked for leave for the three little guys, and by the way, told the teacher about the situation outside the city.
Grandpa Lin was setting up his stall when he suddenly saw Chu Changfeng and the three kids coming over. He smiled and said, "Would you like some stinky tofu? Grandpa will grill it for you now!"
Mumu ran to him and said, "Grandpa, please stop selling stinky tofu. Daddy and mommy said it's very dangerous outside now. I might get some disease!"
Chu Changfeng explained a few words to him. After listening, Grandpa Lin was shocked. He quickly packed up his things and followed them home.
Nothing is as important as life!
Qin Jiuan went directly to his courtyard. Anyway, he was the only one in the courtyard and had no contact with others. It was a good opportunity for him to clean up his house during this time.
There was nothing in the main room, but the room he lived in was quite well-equipped.
The beds were neatly made, and there were tables, chairs and benches.
Coming to the table, he put the purse and bracelet in his arms into the drawer.
The girl hasn't come these days. How can this meal not be worth her bracelet?
Don’t know when it will come?
But if she went there in the next two days, she wouldn't meet anyone...
