So since your horses are not sick, why are our horses the only ones infected with the disease, and where did they catch the disease? "Wei Ci is aggressive.

"This..." This person was probably a newly recruited actor who was not familiar with the business. He obviously couldn't answer Wei Ci's question and was left speechless by the question.

"We don't care about this. In short, if your horse is sick, you must take it to the epidemic clinic, otherwise you will never leave Baihe County." The epidemic official insisted.

"The horse didn't get the disease at all. It was just dismounted and choked. Where did the disease come from?" Xu Qi walked out of the crowd and stood in front of the man.

"Besides, do you know what a disease is? Do you know the symptoms of a disease in a horse? Do you know whether the disease can be transmitted between humans and livestock?"

After asking a few questions, he was already sweating profusely and looked at the people around him with a guilty conscience, for fear that he would be exposed.

"I......"

"Whether it's a disease or not, your horses must be taken away." He glanced in the direction of the shopkeeper and said firmly.

"This is the territory of Baihe County. How do you, a small epidemic official, get the right to collude with the shopkeeper? What is your county magistrate's name? I want to ask where you got the courage." Wei Ci sneered.

"You are talking nonsense. Believe it or not, I will put you in jail." His eyes turned red with anger, he waved his sleeves, picked up the tea cup on the table, and threw it towards Wei Ci.

Wei Ci stretched out his hand and caught the flying tea cup. He sneered and broke the tea cup without hesitation. Water splashed all over him. The epidemic officer's face was particularly ugly.

"How dare you openly attack an official of the imperial court? You are so courageous. When I go back and report to the Lord, you will be rewarded." He did not dare to come forward and confront Wei Ci, so he could only threaten.

"I want to see how big an official you are, and whether you can really pull out the sky." Wei Ci snorted coldly.

The epidemic officer was choked. He didn't expect this young man to be so arrogant. Ordinary people should be frightened and weak when encountering such a situation. This man was very calm.

"Let me tell you, this is the territory of the county magistrate. Our county government will naturally take care of things that happen here. You'd better be sensible. If you don't cooperate, don't blame me for being rude to you."

Wei Ci sneered when he heard this and said, "Show me how powerful you are?"

This man's face turned red after being told by Wei Ci. He was mumbling and speechless.

He didn't speak, and Wei Ci continued: "Wei Yi, go and bring the horse out, let's go."

"Yes, Master." Wei Yi took the order and left. Not long after, all the horses were led over by Wei Yi and the others. Everyone checked the things on the car. Fortunately, there was nothing missing.

"Your horse has a disease, so it should not be able to walk. But now it is acting wild in front of the court officials. Do you want to challenge the authority of the county magistrate?"

Everyone ignored him and left with the carriage, leaving him alone and jumping in anger.

Originally, he had made up the epidemic, so he naturally did not dare to go to the county magistrate to tell him. Moreover, these people were very arrogant, and he was afraid of encountering difficulties, so he had to watch them leave.

When Wei Ci and his party arrived at the location agreed upon with the villagers, everyone had basically packed up and was waiting for them to arrive.

"Is everyone ready?" Wei Ci looked at everyone and asked.

"Ready, I've bought all the things I want to buy." Everyone said in unison.

"Well, in that case, let's set off." Wei Ci made the final decision.

The group got on the carriage, took their luggage, walked out of the city gate, and rushed west to Lingzhou.

After leaving the city gate and walking for about half a day, they turned into a trail.

The trail is very narrow, and only one carriage can pass at most. Everyone has to be more careful when driving, otherwise if the horse slips and gets frightened, they may not be able to control the carriage.

Once such a road gets bumpy, the consequences will be disastrous.

The group of people traveled for a long time and found an open space to set up camp at night.

"Ouch!" As soon as the carriage stopped, Sanwa stepped on a stone, slipped, and sat down on the stone again, causing the flesh on her butt to hurt.

"How are you, are you okay?" Ono was close and ran over immediately, asking with concern.

"It's okay." Sanwa held back the pain and shook her head.

Shen Yue carried the child into the carriage and opened the curtain to check on Sanwa. Seeing that she was not injured, she felt relieved and said, "Sanwa, please be careful when walking next time."

"Sister, I wasn't careless, it was this stone that hurt me. Who knows when it got under my feet." Sanwa kicked the stone unconvinced.

"You're just making fun of me. This is a stone. How could it be that I had to grow my own feet and run to your feet? It's obvious that you didn't see your feet clearly. My mother has told you so many times." Nian scolded with a smile.

Sanwa lowered his head and said nothing, not daring to refute at all. At this moment, he noticed that the stone he had just kicked away cracked, revealing the yellow color inside.

It can’t be gold! He secretly thought and ran over to check.

When I got closer, I saw that there was no gold here, it was just a yellow stone.

"Tch!" He threw the stone aside in disappointment and curled his lips, "I thought it was gold, but it turned out to be a broken stone. It's really boring."

"Ouch!" Unexpectedly, he didn't see anyone behind him. The stone suddenly hit Shen Nan's feet, and the splashed stones hit Xu Qi's calf. Xia Tian was already wearing thin clothes, and this stone didn't count. Damn it, it hurt so much that she grinned.

"Are you okay?" Shen Yue heard the sound and immediately turned her head.

"It's okay." Xu Qi waved his hand, enduring the pain and rubbing the hit area.

"Sister Xiaoqi, are you okay? It's all my fault." Sanwa heard the sound and hurried over, saying with concern.

"It's okay!" Xu Qi waved her hands quickly, fearing that Sanwa would blame herself.

"It's okay, sister." Sanwa breathed a sigh of relief, "Open it and take a look. If the skin is broken, you need to apply medicine."

"You stinky boy, you are really..." Nian slapped Sanwa on the head, "You stinky boy will cause trouble."

"Oh, mother, please be gentle. I know I was wrong." Sanwa covered her forehead and said aggrievedly, "Mother, please be gentle."

"You little brat, if you dare to talk too much, I'll apologize to your sister, Xiaoqi, if my mother doesn't tear your mouth apart." Nian raised his hand in a gesture, and Sanwa immediately apologized to Xu Qi.

"Wait a minute. This is... realgar." Xu Qi's attention was immediately attracted by a few small gravels nearby.

She picked up a piece from the ground, put it under her nose and smelled it, with an excited look on her face, "Yes, this is realgar. I didn't expect to see this thing in such a barren mountain."
