Looking for you in reincarnation

At this time, Ning Ji had already returned to the deserted village.

Si He saw it from afar, jumped off the roof and walked to the entrance of the village.

At this moment, the moonlight is bright and you can see things around you clearly.

Ning Ji dismounted, but soon noticed a faint smell of blood in the air. "Are you okay?"

He frowned, looked at her, and then looked around warily.

"I'm fine." Si He pointed to the house at the side of the village entrance and said, "A group of people came earlier. I scared them away, but one person died."

She said it calmly. Now she has gradually become accustomed to killing people and no longer has the fear she had when she first killed someone.

She was not afraid of letting him see her cruel side, after all, he knew that she had killed people more than once.

Apart from the two thieves she had killed before, he should have guessed that she had used some means to kill Sun Qiquan, but he never asked.

Ning Ji looked towards the house and frowned even more tightly.

"Didn't I tell you to hide?"

He seemed to be deliberately keeping a straight face, but there was a hint of helplessness in his tone, and she could feel his worry.

She reached out and held his hand, looking at him eagerly, and he was reluctant to lecture her.

She said, "If I hide, you'll have to confront them when you come back, which will be troublesome. They're the bandits from Jiulian Mountain. I heard their conversation earlier. They just escaped from the government."

Although they had not fallen out with the bandits before, they were captured after the robbery failed and never returned to Jiulian Mountain. But the fact that they had not fallen out before did not mean that they would continue to keep up the mask.

They are bandits, not good people. There are too many dangerous factors. She doesn't want to have to guard against these people while escaping from the government.

He sighed imperceptibly and said, "Be careful next time. Hide if you can. I'll take care of it."

"Okay." She agreed with a smile.

He took her hand and walked towards the house.

The door of the house was open, and through the moonlight, you could see some of what was going on inside the door.

Ning Ji let go of Si He's hand, walked into the house, took out a fire starter, and illuminated the space in front of him so that he could check the situation in the house.

By the window in the room, a man was lying face down on the ground with a pool of blood.

Ning Ji raised his leg and kicked the corpse over, revealing its face.

It was Wei Bao. There was a hole on his forehead, which was a fatal wound. It showed how severe the impact was. When he died, his eyes were wide open and his face looked a little dazed. His death looked weird.

Si He walked in, glanced at the dead body on the ground, and pursed her red lips.

Ning Ji didn't ask anything. He put away the tinderbox, turned around, took her hand, and said, "Let's go back."

As Si He walked, he said, "Cousin, I want to tell you something."

As he walked out the door, he stopped and looked down at her, waiting for her to speak.

Under the cold moonlight, his deep eyes seemed to be able to see through what she was about to say next, but there was tolerance and seriousness in them.

This reminded her of the time when she confessed. She didn't know how to start the conversation then, and she still didn't know how to start now.

At that time, she was wary of him, so she kept some of her secrets to herself.

Now, there is no need to hide it from him anymore, and he should have guessed it a little.

"I... I've told you before about the changes in my eyes. Besides night vision, I also have a slight ability to see through things, and... the ability to bewitch others."

She felt a little embarrassed about her previous concealment, so she lowered her eyes, not meeting his, but looking level at his chest, and continued, "These abilities are also due to the giant snake. Because they are so strange, I didn't tell you before."

She found an excuse to make herself less embarrassed.

"That Sun Qiquan, I used this bewitching power to make him commit suicide. The men in this room were also... they were bad! That's why I..."

Perhaps she still cared about his opinion, which made her find an excuse for the murder.

After she finished speaking, he responded with a "Yeah."

She looked up and saw him asking, "Do your eyes feel uncomfortable when you use this ability?"

She shook her head.

"It's good that you have the ability to protect yourself." He raised his hand and gently rubbed her head.

He didn't ask many questions, and his eyes showed trust and affection.

At this moment, her heart was filled with unspeakable emotions, feeling sour and swollen.

She lowered her eyes for a moment, then said with some self-mockery, "You believe everything I say. Aren't you afraid that I'm lying to you?"

He said: "I am willing to be deceived by you."

Si He's heart trembled, and her eyes turned slightly red. The next moment, she threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly.

Ning Ji raised his hand and gently hugged her.

"Cousin~" she called him in a muffled voice.

"Ah."

She said: "How can you be so nice~"

He said, “It’s good that you are here.”

The night wind blew, bringing with it the coolness of the night and the freshness of the grass and trees. Under the bright moonlight, the two figures intertwined, hugging each other warmly, as if they were the only two people left in the whole world.

Si He hugged him quietly for a long time, and only raised her head after she had completely calmed down.

Thinking of how she had thrown herself into his arms just now, she felt a little embarrassed and didn't dare to look him in the eye. "Cousin, let's go back."

"Okay." He raised the corner of his lips, took her hand, and walked towards the horse.

There were a lot of things hanging on the horse's back, big and small bags, including medicinal herbs, food, and some sundries.

He held the horse with his other hand and walked towards the village with her.

"Cousin, what should we do with the body?"

"Do not care."

"Ok."

Back in the yard, Ning Ji took down the things he brought back and put them in the kitchen. Since there were many small snakes in the yard, there was no need to worry about mice stealing the food.

Then he took a quick shower and went into the house to rest.

This night, some were happy and some were sad.

At the Lingcheng County Magistrate's Mansion, Gao Hua suddenly felt unwell during a banquet and had unbearable abdominal pain. Many doctors were summoned overnight and they diagnosed him with poison. However, the exact nature of the poison is still under discussion and requires further detailed observation and research.

The doctors prescribed some detoxifying medicine for Gao Hua to take, but it was not very effective and only barely relieved some of his pain.

As time went by, Gao Hua's condition became worse and worse. He turned pale and broke out in cold sweat. Although the burning sensation in his stomach subsided a little, his body felt hot and cold. Not long after, spots began to appear on his skin, scars like corpse spots.

This shocked all the doctors. It was corpse poison!

They immediately prescribed some medicines for the corpse poison, but when they went back to get the medicine, they found that some precious herbs were suddenly gone!

Many of the herbs are used to cure corpse poison. It goes without saying that the thief who stole the medicine is here again!
