The timing was just about right when two people dressed in black officials' uniforms came out to maintain order.
Meanwhile, someone opened the gate to the cattle pen behind, leading a cow out one after another.
Each cow was showcased in turn, then marked with wooden signs displaying prices for those interested in purchasing.
Of course, everyone had to negotiate the price a bit.
Qin Yao didn't see any cows being slaughtered and knew what she was looking for wasn't there, so she kicked Liu Ji, who wanted to go forward and look at the cows.
"Let's go, to the slaughterhouse!" Qin Yao said.
Liu Ji endured the pain in his calf, first shaking his head at the cows as if to express dissatisfaction before turning to follow the steps of Mother and the four children.
Qin Yao stuffed Sanlang and Si Niang into his arms, "There are a lot of people, watch the children and wait for me by the side."
