Especially at the beginning of the year, the activities of demons in Tongtian Prefecture became more and more frequent. During that time, there were even two significant murder cases, and this place once became completely desolate, turning into a forbidden zone for humans. Even if it was necessary to cross the river, people would choose to take a detour to the south, even if the distance was dozens of times longer, as it was better than losing their lives.
It wasn't until April that the Hou Clan reached cooperation with Tongtian Prefecture, and the east and west banks were no longer blocked. The ferry began to operate again, but since Hedong was in a wartime state and only Hou Clan's boats were allowed to pass, there were still not many people coming and going.
The restoration of the ferry was not as optimistic as one might have hoped.
