After leaving Privet Drive, he went to the girl Louise's house with an umbrella as planned. Unsurprisingly, the alley in the rain was still blocked. Although it was not as strict as on Tuesday, the no-passing order on the nearby street was also revoked, but all residents in the alley were not allowed to leave until it was finally confirmed safe.
The incubation period of corpse plague is as short as 12 hours and as long as 5 days, which is slightly different according to each person's constitution. So if Louise wants to go out to sell flowers, she has to wait at least until next Monday, which means that the family's income is actually zero during this period.
Because of the special pass given by the church, Jenkins was allowed to enter the alley after confirming his identity.
Compared with the street outside, the alley was terribly deserted. The torrential rain washed everything here, and the doors of every house were tightly closed, and there were seals from the city hall and the safety, health and epidemic prevention departments on the doors.
Only Yazui doctors and policemen in heavy protective clothing are allowed to walk through the alleys. The latter will deliver a day's worth of food and clean drinking water to each household every morning, and then replace the seals with new ones.
The police leading the way quickly led Jenkins to the door of Louise's house. Both of them were holding black umbrellas, so they couldn't get too close. The policeman wearing a crow's beak mask knocked on the door with extra strength to cover the sound of the rain. It took a long time before he heard a voice from inside:
"who is it?"
"Someone is coming to visit you, remember, don't say what you shouldn't say."
After saying this, the policeman bowed slightly to Jenkins with an umbrella, then stepped back ten steps, and stood by the wall to wait for Jenkins' visit to end.
Jenkins nodded to him too, and pushed open the door that opened a crack at some point.
Because of the location, the lighting in Louise's house is poor, and today is a rainy day, and the oppressive feeling of darkness came to my mind immediately after entering the house.
Glancing to the side, there was an outdated gas lamp on the wall. Presumably in order to save some gas bills, this family is reluctant to turn on the lights.
Because he was wearing heavy protective clothing, Jenkins didn't know if there was a strange smell in the house. But at least he knows very well that the owners of the house are not very willing to talk. After entering the door, the family sitting in a circle around the square wooden table turned their heads to look at Jenkins like a resurrected corpse. , startled him.
"I'm looking for Louis, I have something to talk to her about."
The strange scene made Jenkins a little puzzled, but he didn't see any aura when he opened his eyes of reality. I think that the recent days of closure have caused some psychological problems for the family, but Jenkins has no good way to solve it. He can only hope that they can return to their previous appearance after the closure is over.
Although the girl Louise has been haggard a lot, at least she is in good health. The city hall and the health and epidemic prevention department are distributing free food and water to the residents here these days. Although it is not very delicious, at least it is no problem for the little girl to eat enough.
The two conversed in a bedroom-like room that was as modestly furnished as the living room outside. Just judging from the style of the big bed, it can be guessed that this is the bedroom of the hostess and hostess, so it seems that the economic conditions of this family are worse than Jenkins estimated.
"Finito, I send my greetings to you. You know, she can't leave the church for a while, so she can only let me visit you. She doesn't know what happened to you yet, but don't worry, Louise, I've got With the news, you can return to normal life as soon as Monday."
Jenkins tried to speak in a cheerful tone, because of his "equipment" he couldn't sit and talk. But when standing, I always feel that the cat on the chest inside the protective suit is sliding down, but because the clothes are too thick, Jenkins can't lift the cat up.
"Is chocolate asleep again? Why doesn't it climb up?"
Jenkins thought suspiciously.
"Thank you, sir, and good health to you and Finny."
The girl's lacklustre little face finally had some humane look, she looked at Jenkins in a daze, and said in a low voice:
"You tell Fenny that she doesn't have to worry about me, I'm fine."
Although young, the girl is very sensible. Jenkins was a little curious about how Fenny and Louise met, so he inquired a little bit, and got a slightly sad story.
Fini and Louise had known each other a long time ago. Feeney's parents hadn't died then, and although she sold flowers on the street, her life was at least a little easier than when Jenkins knew her.
The first time the two little girls met was also on a rainy day in spring. Louise, who just came to the street to sell flowers, was at a loss for the teasing and making things difficult for the customers.
She stood on the street dazed and scared, while the middle-aged woman holding an umbrella said some vulgar words in front of her.
The despair and sorrow of the little girl at that time can be imagined, but at this moment, Louise's arm was pulled up by the people behind her, and then they ran towards the alley next to her with little strength.
"It was the first time I met Fini, and even though she was only 11 months older than me, Fini really helped me a lot."
The teenage girl said, and then bravely raised her head to look at Jenkins:
"Sir, maybe you think I envy Fenny's life now, but that's not the case; she deserves it, and a kind person like her deserves this kind of life. Fenny is a kind girl, please treat her well Some… "
Louise seems to have misunderstood the relationship between Jenkins and Fenny.
"I am Fei Ni's friend, and I am also the one who stands behind her and is protected by her shadow. I hope Sister Fei Ni is healthy, sir, please don't tell her what happened here..."
The suffering life makes these children more mature and more sensible. When saying goodbye to the Louise family, Jenkins felt a little heavy in his heart. He really wants to help those in need, but there are too many people in need in this world.
Individual power is really weak, changing the times and even the world requires stronger power.
After coming out of the alley, he had already changed out of his heavy protective clothing, and exposed his wet clothes to the rain again. Umbrellas are of little use in such stormy weather.
"Hathaway and Britney have probably sent back the reply, let's go home."
He decided in his heart that he would have more time to see Louise in the future, and then he said this to the cat hiding in his clothes to avoid the rain, and the cat would naturally have no objection.
