Jiang Youfei asked him, "Do you know where the Jiang family went?"

The wonton stall owner frowned and thought for a moment, "I haven't heard of this. Have you been to Jiang's house? If no one is there, they must have left, right?"

Jiang Youfei nodded, "Yes, there is no one left."

"You said they were pitiful. Not only were their wealthy families robbed, but the plague also spread in Daizhou City. If they had not been infected before leaving Daizhou City, it would have been fine. If they were infected, I'm afraid no place would take them in."

Jiang Youfei paused holding the chopsticks, feeling heavy in his heart.

"Boss, give me a bowl of noodles." Another passerby sat at the table next to Jiang Youfei and Jiang Youcai.

"Okay." The wonton stall owner stood up and started kneading the dough.

Jiang Youfei looked at Jiang Youcai with a serious look in his eyes, but he didn't dare to say anything bad.

Jiang Youcai looked at him without much concern. He felt that if his father, mother and grandmother took the whole family away and went to seek refuge with other relatives, there would definitely be someone willing to take them in.

"Why do I feel that Daizhou is a lot quieter now? Are all the shops along the street closed? And no one comes out to buy things?" The vegetable vendor carrying a basket on his back looked around and was very surprised.

The vendors came from outside the city and sold vegetables on the street every morning, and left the city to return to the village in the evening.

Because of the plague, Daizhou City was under martial law and he had not been able to go into the city to sell vegetables for a long time. The family could only rely on the vegetables they grew themselves to survive for a few days.

He just came into the city today to sell vegetables.

But after selling for a whole morning, his vegetable basket was still full. There was no one to be seen on the street, let alone anyone buying vegetables.

"You're out of money, right? There's a flood and an epidemic in this state capital, and all the businesses are closed!"

"But we can't not eat, right? I see the food store is closed, and I want to exchange some rice and noodles to take home!"

"You don't know, do you? There is no food left in this grain store. It was all looted by the soldiers." The wonton stall owner handed the noodles to them and said casually.

"Ah? What about the people in the city? What do they eat?"

The wonton stand owner shook his head, "I'm afraid there aren't many families left. I heard that the plague killed half of the people in the city. Look at those houses in the west, no one lives there. If the soldiers hadn't seen that there were still people in my family and threatened to increase taxes, I wouldn't have wanted to set up a stall. Where would I get food to sell?"

No one in the west?

Jiang Youfei suddenly raised his head and looked at the owner of the wonton stall.

“Did this plague kill so many people?”

He remembered that when he was helping Jiang Yunxi in Juzhou, although the epidemic was raging, many of the sick people were at most bedridden, dragging their bodies and barely living day after day, and only three out of ten people died. It was not as severe as in Daizhou City, where so many people died.

The wonton stand owner nodded. "I live alone. When I heard about the plague, I hid in my cellar early. I was afraid that if one of my neighbors got sick, everyone else would get sick too. I was also afraid that those soldiers would throw me into the epidemic area. Oh, there would be so many sick people there. It's scary just thinking about it."

"Now that I think about it, I did the right thing. None of my neighbors came back, and the alley is empty!"

Jiang Youfei leaned his head closer to Jiang Youcai and whispered, "When we were in Juzhou, not so many people died, right?"

"No. But I think that since the disease first came from Daizhou, it's normal that there are many people infected in Daizhou."

Jiang Youfei nodded, reluctantly accepting this statement.
