Chapter 499: Chapter 499: Weird and Strange

"What is this for?" Bai Junjun asked curiously.

The Government Official in charge of leading the way said, "The wizard is releasing witch medicine to treat everyone’s illnesses."

"?" Bai Junjun’s eyes widened in surprise. This was a new experience; was there really such a method of treatment?

It was said that during the latter part of human civilization, nebulized treatments were invented. Could this be the origin of nebulized treatment?

Just as Bai Junjun was about to study closely what was in the mist, suddenly, a face towel was wrapped around her face.

Bai Junjun turned her head slightly and saw Li Wenli thoughtfully tying a mask for her.

"This wizard might have cast a spell in the fog. Be careful."

Li Wenli’s fingers moved swiftly as he quickly tied the towel around her face.

Meanwhile, Bai Sasa and the rest were also covering their faces with masks.

Bai Junjun glanced at everyone and silently touched the mask on her face, suppressing the unease rising within her.

Ning County City was not large, and the distance from the city gate to the County Yamen was not too far.

However, there was now a high platform in front of the Yamen, atop which a Cloak Person was chanting some strange incantations over a black pot.

The fog enveloping Ning County was emanating from this very pot.

Below the platform, many people lay scattered around, with the foremost ones seated on several Eight Immortals chairs.

Bai Junjun squinted for a while and saw that one of the people seated on the Eight Immortals chairs was dressed in an official robe of the seventh rank.

She was not unfamiliar with this attire.

In Dai County, there was a Fat Ball who would always swagger around in it.

But the County Magistrate here was different from Fat Ball; his cheeks were sunken, giving him a sickly appearance, and his arms, extending from his sleeves, had a suspicious spread of red spots.

Beside him, sat several wealthy-looking gentlemen who also appeared unwell, with some having red spots not only on their arms but also on their faces.

Beyond these few high-seat holders, there was a series of ordinary citizens. Those who paid attention brought small stools, while the less particular simply sat directly on the ground.

People both large and small bore red spots varying in severity.

"Our County Magistrate is just ahead." The Government Official from the city gate pointed in the direction of the County Magistrate and then saluted, "Please wait here for a moment; I will go and report on your behalf."

"Your effort is appreciated, Leader of the Guards," Ah Fu said, secretly slipping a pouch of money to the official.

The Government Official silently accepted it, nodded to the group, and then headed towards the front.

While the Government Official was whispering something to the County Magistrate.

Suddenly, a figure burst out from an alley and lunged directly towards the Old Monk guiding the horse carriage.

The Old Monk was startled, his hand almost drawing his sword.

But in the next second, the figure that leapt at him was held down by several people who emerged from behind him.

Only then did everyone see that the one who had suddenly lunged at them was a teenager of about fifteen or sixteen, and those who restrained him were likely his family members.

The teenager’s relatives apologized to the Old Monk with embarrassed expressions, "Apologies, young brother. Our brother is not well and has caused a disturbance."

As they spoke, they began to lead the boy to the back.

The teen had bloodshot eyes and faint red welt-like marks on his face; he seemed very uncomfortable and agitated.

His family merely led him away with resignation in their movements without a hint of disgust.

Still, their commotion caught the attention of those on the high platform.

The official in charge of maintaining order was indifferent to the appearance of three extra horse carriages, but upon seeing these people, he became furious, "How dare you show up here! Leave immediately, or don’t blame us for being ruthless!"

With that, he reached for a large plank to drive them away.
