Looking for you in reincarnation

The man looked at her pretending to be pitiful and said calmly, "You were quite brave grilling fish in this desolate forest by yourself earlier. It doesn't look like you have nowhere else to go."

Si He blinked and argued, "I was just pretending to be calm, didn't you see that?"

The man said nothing and withdrew his gaze. He picked up the little wild boar from the stream and walked to the fire nearby. Then he put the wild boar on the fire and slowly roasted it.

Si He raised the corner of her lips slightly, then stuck the grilled fish in her hand into the ground and said to him with a smile: "Brother, I will help you collect firewood."

Regardless of whether he agreed or not, she hurried to pick up branches nearby. One should ask for help in a proper manner, and this was also a way of thanking him for helping her just now.

The colder his attitude was, the more relieved she felt, at least he wouldn't have any intentions towards her.

After a while, she picked up a pile of branches and came over with a very attentive attitude.

But he remained indifferent and stopped talking to her, just grilling the meat quietly.

Si He sat opposite him and watched him grill the meat.

I have to say that he is quite capable. In addition to his good martial arts skills, he is also a good cook. In a short while, the wild boar was roasted by him. He occasionally added some firewood, turned the roasted pig on the fire from time to time, and then took out some seasonings and sprinkled them on the meat.

Soon, the wild boar was roasted until golden brown, with a light stain of oil on the surface. After adding seasoning, it sizzled and smelled fragrant, which was particularly tempting.

Si He looked at the fragrant, golden roasted pig and couldn't help swallowing her saliva. She suddenly felt that her black roasted fish had lost its flavor.

"Brother, my name is Si He, what's your name?"

Since he didn't say anything, she took it as his tacit agreement to her request, and started chatting with him with a smile, not minding telling him her name.

He raised his eyes, looked at her bright smile, and after a while, said: "Ning Ji."

Si He smiled and called out to him, "Brother Ning."

Ning Ji felt a little strange when he heard her call him that.

"Brother Ning, where are you from?"

"Gucheng." He withdrew his gaze and continued to concentrate on the work in his hands.

Si He nodded. "Is Gucheng far from here? Brother Ning, are you here looking for medicine?"

She saw some medicinal plants in the backpack he placed aside, so she asked about it. Besides, this was the forest outside the Tianshan Mountains, so it was normal for some people looking for medicine to come here.

When asked about finding medicine, she couldn't help but think of her previous experience, which was truly a case of good and bad going hand in hand.

"Ah."

He responded calmly, then moved the roasted pig aside. The meat was now roasted and could be eaten after the heat had dissipated.

Si He looked at the fragrant and tempting roasted pig and couldn't help swallowing again.

After a while, he took out a dagger, cut a piece of roast meat, put it on a leaf and handed it to her.

Si He was a little surprised that he was so straightforward and generous, and immediately thanked him: "Thank you, Brother Ning."

Ning Ji didn't say anything. He also cut a piece of barbecue, blew on it to heat it up, and then started eating.

Seeing this, Si He didn't hesitate and started eating immediately.

The skin of the grilled meat was crispy, the meat was delicious, and the seasoning was just right. She hadn't eaten such delicious meat in a long time.

After a full meal, Si He felt satisfied and felt more and more that the decision she had made was the right one.

Although he is ugly and a little cold, he is good at fighting, cooking and has a good character.

The days ahead will be a little better.

Si He didn't eat much. After she was full, she sat quietly aside. After she was full, she helped to put away the remaining barbecue.

Ning Ji simply tied the barbecue and placed it on the side of the bamboo basket, but did not put it inside, fearing that the oil stains would contaminate the medicinal plants.

Si He glanced at the medicinal plants inside and suddenly remembered that there was a ginseng in her bag, as well as the herbs in the bag she picked up. She had planned to sell them for money after going out.

She thought for a moment, then took off her bundle, took out the cloth bag containing the medicinal plants, handed it to Ning Ji, and said, "Brother Ning, these are what I picked in the forest. I'm giving them to you as a thank you gift."

Ning Ji glanced at the cloth bag in her hand and said, "No need."

The cloth bag was very worn out, like the ones used by beggars, and had several small holes in it. After all, she had no good clothes before, let alone a good cloth bag.

Si He thought he was disgusted, so she quickly opened the bag and took out the medicinal plants.

However, because she had been running around these days, the ginseng had been crushed, and only the herbs in the bundle she picked up yesterday were intact.

She was too embarrassed to give away the crushed ginseng, so she stuffed a few intact herbs into his hands and said, "I'll feel uneasy if you don't accept them."

He felt a little helpless, but when he looked down, he was a little surprised. He thought they were just ordinary herbs, but unexpectedly they were all rare medicinal herbs!

Especially the crushed ginseng, he picked up a ginseng root and looked at it carefully.

Seeing his interest, she asked curiously, "Is this still useful?"

It's really a pity about this ginseng. It was badly crushed by her.

He said: “It works.”

Seeing this, Si He gave him the rest. "I got into some trouble before, so I accidentally crushed it. Since it's still useful, I'll give it all to you. It would be a waste for me to keep it."

“Where did you find all this?”

Ning Ji was very curious about where she found these precious medicinal plants. They were all thousands of years old and very difficult to find. They were not found in the nearby mountains and forests.

Si He looked at his longing eyes. She didn't want to lie, but she absolutely couldn't reveal her true identity.

These medicinal plants are all in the heart of Tianshan Mountain. How could a weak woman like her possibly get there?

But she must never tell anyone about her previous experience. If the old man comes out of Tianshan and asks around, she will be exposed.

"I found it in the mountains and forests nearby. I can't remember exactly where it was."

Si He smiled embarrassedly.

Ning Ji looked at her with his deep eyes, but he did not ask any more questions. Instead, he carefully sorted the herbs in the cloth bag and put them away.

"Thank you."

After taking her things, he thanked her.

Si He waved her hand and said with a smile: "You're welcome, as long as you don't mind."

"If these medicinal plants are left for too long, their efficacy will diminish. I need to go into the city to dispose of them. If you have nowhere else to go, I can help you find a place to stay once you get to the city. Gucheng is relatively peaceful, so it shouldn't be difficult for you to find some work. You don't need to follow me."

Hearing this, Si He quickly shook her head, "I really want to learn some skills from you, but I'm afraid I'll run into a bad guy like you again in the future. Can you just pity me?"

The fact that he would refuse showed that he was different from others, which also made her feel more at ease that he would not do anything bad to her, so now she was shameless and pretended to be pitiful and begged him.

Si He has a beautiful face. When she acts pitiful, her eyes are watery, making it really hard to refuse her request.

Ning Ji looked at her quietly. His expressionless face made her a little confused. Is this routine useless?
