In famine years, the whole country is hiding from drought corpses. I have space and I am worthy of i

Lying in bed at night, about to fall asleep, Shen Nan was suddenly awakened by the sound of slight footsteps in the corridor.

During this period of time, he was living in the wild. Although Wei Yi and the others were keeping watch, Shen Nan still didn't sleep to death and would easily wake up when he heard any noise.

She didn't wear any shoes, so she tiptoed to the door of the room, squatted under the door, put her ear close to the wooden door, and listened to what was going on outside.

There were indeed people walking around in the corridor, and their cautious movements did not appear to be upright at first glance.

Shen Nan quietly poked open the oil paper on the wooden door, wanting to secretly see what was going on outside.

However, her fingers were almost pricked, but the paper was not torn. She had no choice but to open the door slightly and take the opportunity to observe what was going on outside.

I saw a man sneaking down the stairs, holding a candle in his hand. He was afraid that the candle would go out, so he blocked it slightly with his hand, but there was still a breeze that swayed the candle wick as he walked.

Shen Nan frowned, secretly thinking that he was here to rob.

Yes, they were a group of people with cars and horses, and they looked relatively wealthy. This group of people must have been eyeing them.

It stands to reason that the food they ate today should be fine. After all, Xu Qi is the doctor. If there is a problem, she will be the first to see it. But she didn't say anything, which proves that there is no problem with the food.

But there is no problem with the food, so why is this person sneaking in the corridor at night?

Could it be that he wanted to seek revenge, or wanted to light some incense?

Shen Nan felt more and more that her guess was probably correct.

The man was thin, his body looked very weak, and his walking posture was very strange, as if he had some disease.

Shen Nan became more and more curious. She quietly approached the window and walked quietly from the eaves beside the window to the outside of Wei Ci and the eldest sister's room.

"Dudu!" She lightly knocked on the window frame, and soon there were light footsteps inside. She was afraid that her brother-in-law would accidentally kill her, so she quickly whispered: "Brother-in-law, it's me!"

Hearing the sound, Wei Ci dropped his guard and put the dagger in his hand into the scabbard.

Opening the window, he looked at his second sister in the dark under the eaves, and quickly pulled her in.

"Don't light the lamp." Shen Nan whispered, "I saw someone sneaking upstairs just now. I was worried that there was something wrong, so I ran out to take a look."

Wei Ci frowned, "Then did you see who it was?"

"No." Shen Nan made a negative sound with a nasal tone, "It's a man, a bit stooped, with his back to me, holding a candle and going downstairs. He walked in a hurry, he must be looking for something."

"Well, I'll notify Wei Yi immediately and ask them to step up their vigilance. Go back quickly and don't alert the enemy."

Shen Yue also woke up at this time. She comforted the two children in the darkness. When Wei Ci approached, she asked, "Is it for money?"

Wei Ci shook his head and told Wei Yi and the others to step up patrols at night and not to let down their guard.

Unexpectedly, after one night, they were all safe and sound. Even Shen Nan felt that she was making a fuss out of a molehill. After all, they were about to pack up and leave after breakfast. If this group of people didn't take action, it meant that she had made a mistake.

There was no problem with breakfast, and they were relieved.

After eating, everyone was about to leave. Unexpectedly, when they were going to lead the horses, Wei Yi and the others found that something was not right with two horses. They called the young man to ask, but he was confused and kept saying he didn't know.

Although it sounds like nothing is wrong, everyone is keenly aware that there is indeed something wrong with this inn.

Dear guests, maybe the grass given to the horses yesterday was not fresh, which is why they are like this now. Don't worry, I will ask the waiter to ask the epidemic officer to come back and take a look at these horses. "

The shopkeeper smiled and said to everyone, "If something goes wrong, our inn will definitely try our best to compensate. I hope you don't worry."

"Okay!" Wei Ci nodded, "That'll be troublesome." He turned around and winked at everyone.

The waiter hurriedly left and went to ask for the epidemic officer.

Aunt Sufen's family are all smart people. Although Wei Ci didn't tell them what happened last night, they saw the problem in his eyes, so they stood aside without saying a word and tried to lean as close to the Shen family as possible.

The epidemic officer came very quickly because he had just taken office and lacked experience. It would take a lot of diagnosis and treatment to gain experience. So when he heard that the horse was in bad condition, he brought tools to check the horse's condition.

"If they are really infected with the epidemic, I am afraid that these horses will have to be brought back to the inn and have to be cured by the epidemic officials before they can leave. Otherwise, once the horses escape, other horses will definitely become sick." The epidemic official said solemnly.

The shopkeeper nodded and said to the epidemic officer: "Sir, please take all these horses back to the epidemic hall. Please treat them well. The horses must be cured."

The epidemic official said: "Don't worry, I will try my best to treat them, but this horse is suffering from a serious disease. If it is not treated in time, I am afraid it will cause a plague."

The shopkeeper was startled, and then said distressedly: "What should I do..."

Everyone looked at the two people's back-and-forth responses, which seemed quite normal, so they were even more confused about what was going on here.

Shen Nan lowered her head and quietly observed the surrounding environment. She always felt something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

Seeing that Shen Yue remained silent, Sanwa gave her a gentle push.

Shen Nan raised her head to look at him and saw Sanwa winking. She understood instantly, pretended not to understand anything, and looked at the epidemic officer with a blank expression.

The epidemic officer looked at her with an upright face, pondered for a moment, and said: "Let's do this! These horses are temporarily under my care. I will take them away first. After they recover, they will be transported back to the inn."

The two communicated throughout the whole process, completely ignoring Wei Ci and his party, and were about to take away their horses. When the epidemic officer turned to leave, Wei Ci blocked his way.

"Wait a minute, this is our horse. You two have not asked us for our opinion, so you are going to take our horse away by force. What does this mean?" Wei Ci stared at him closely.

"If your horse is sick, it naturally needs to be taken away. This is the rule of Baihe County." The epidemic officer said matter-of-factly.

"Oh, it seems that there are epidemic diseases everywhere in your Baihe County, but I have been in the city for so long and I haven't found anything unusual. If you go by what you said, my horse contracted the epidemic after being parked here overnight. , then why are we okay, and the horses in your stables, I don’t think there is anything wrong with them." Wei Ci said.

"That's because the infected horses have been sent to the epidemic station by us. The horses left here are naturally fine. If you don't believe it, you can go to the stable and have a look." The epidemic officer snorted coldly, his tone was very arrogant.
