Looking for you in reincarnation

When Si He was thinking about changing her tactics, Ning Ji picked up the bamboo basket and said to her, "Let's go."

She was stunned for a moment, then quickly replied, "Oh... OK."

Ning Ji carried a bamboo basket on his back and walked along the stream towards the outside of the woods. He had originally planned to look for medicinal plants for another day, but now these medicinal plants could not be kept for a long time, so he had to deal with them as soon as possible.

Si He followed him obediently. Does this mean he has agreed now?

The two walked for a long time before they reached the official road.

Gucheng is two hundred miles away from Fuqing City and is no longer under the jurisdiction of Huixi County, so she felt a little relieved.

After reaching the official road, Ning Ji took out an iron mask from the bamboo basket and put it on, mainly because he didn't want to be pointed at by others, although he no longer cared much about his appearance.

There were also some refugees heading to Gucheng on the official road, because the war on the border of Dayan had started again and it was very chaotic.

Moreover, the famine in recent years has been too severe and there have been many bandits, causing people in some places to be unable to survive and to flee to more peaceful cities, so there are also many people fleeing famine.

When Si He saw Ning Ji wearing a mask, she also took out a piece of cloth and wrapped her face.

Her situation was the opposite of Ning Ji's. He didn't want to be criticized because of the scar on his face, while she was too beautiful and didn't want to cause trouble.

The two of them walked towards Gucheng without stopping, and finally arrived at the city gate around noon.

In recent years, due to the war, many people have been displaced, so the inspections entering the city are not very strict.

Si He followed Ning Ji and entered the city smoothly.

Gucheng is larger than Fuqingcheng. The ancient buildings are scattered around in an orderly manner. The streets are also very wide, with various shops and stalls on both sides. The hawkers' cries are endless, and there are many pedestrians on the street, making it very lively.

Of course, there are also many beggars on the streets, most of whom are fleeing famine from other cities.

Si He followed Ning Ji and after walking through several streets and alleys, they arrived at his residence, a simple little house.

Although the small house is simple, the front and back yards are quite large. There are some wooden stakes in the yard. Judging from the layout, it is obviously where he usually practices martial arts.

"There's a vacant utility room in the backyard that needs to be cleaned up before you can live in it. You can live there for the time being."

Ning Ji didn't know why he agreed to bring her back. Perhaps he couldn't bear to see her, a girl, wandering around outside.

Si He smiled and said, "Thank you very much."

Ning Ji didn't say anything. He took her to the backyard and helped clean up her room.

"Brother Ning, can you take me out to buy some things? Don't worry, I have money."

After the room was cleaned up, it was empty, with nothing in it except a bed.

She still had some money and needed to do some shopping.

Actually, shopping was simple. After entering the city, she had also noticed the roads and the locations of various shops. However, she was a young girl now, new to the place, and unfamiliar with the place. It was always good to have someone to accompany her, and it would also save her a lot of trouble.

Ning Ji nodded and took her out.

Since he planned to stay here for some time, Si He bought a lot of things. In addition to his own clothes, quilts and other daily necessities, he also bought some rice and flour. After all, he couldn't always take advantage of him.

Ning Ji was about to refuse, saying that he had someone else at home, but Si He still insisted, so he had to give up.

This purchase cost her a lot of money because the items were quite expensive.

While shopping, Si He was still quite eye-catching, even though she had covered her face with a cloth, leaving only her eyes exposed.

This was mainly because of his Ning family background. He was ugly and was a well-known "ugly guy" in the city. All the neighbors knew him.

And now he brought a girl to buy things, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances, and when he did, he couldn't help but be surprised.

Although she wrapped herself tightly, her long black hair was as smooth as silk, her exposed hands were white and delicate, her eyes were bright and beautiful, and her figure was excellent. Taking all these into consideration, she was definitely a beautiful girl.

"Brother Ning, have you found a wife?"

The aunt selling rice and noodles asked curiously, because the girl just said she wanted to buy rice and noodles, but Ning Ji said she had some at home. The implication was obvious, that the girl lived at home.

Ning Ji was stunned for a moment when asked this.

Seeing this, Si He replied for him: "I am his distant cousin. My family suffered a disaster and I have no relatives left, so I came to seek refuge with my cousin Ning."

Ning Ji turned to look at her when he heard that. She gave him a faint smile, so he didn't refute.

If a girl like her lived in his house without a certain reputation, it would indeed cause criticism.

The rice seller immediately looked at Si He with some sympathy, "Ah~ These days it's either war or famine, life is hard."

The aunt also has a deep understanding of this. She also has relatives who have sought refuge with the locals. Many people in Gucheng have experienced this situation. It is very common.

After shopping, on the way back, Si He whispered, "Brother Ning, do you have any objections to what I just said?"

Ning Ji said: "It's okay."

Si He then smiled and said, "Then I will call you Cousin Ning in front of outsiders from now on."

"Ah."

After returning to the house and being busy, it was almost evening.

Si He helped him with some odd jobs, such as lighting the fire and cooking, but he usually did it himself and didn't need her help, so she could only lend a hand.

After dinner, Si He simply washed up and prepared to rest. After all, it was a tiring day. She had been traveling for half a day in the morning and working for half a day in the afternoon. Moreover, she had not slept well in the past few days.

Just as she walked to the bed, she suddenly heard a slight sound coming from the bag. She looked over in confusion. Could there be a mouse?

She almost forgot that there were a few bird eggs and a snake egg in the bag, which might indeed attract rats.

She stared intently at the bundle at the end of the bed, and in an instant, her eyes could see through the thin fabric and see what was happening inside.

There was no mouse in the bundle, but the black snake egg had several tiny cracks on it, as if the little snake inside was about to be born.

Si He frowned slightly. What should she do?

threw?

The black snake eggs are unusual and larger than ordinary snake eggs. I wonder what the little snake inside looks like?

Thinking of the appearance of the giant snake, she couldn't help but shudder.

At this time, the black egg moved, and then the cracks on the surface became a little bigger.

Si He came to her senses and hurried to the end of the bed, opened the bag and took out the black egg.

The next moment, a small hole suddenly appeared on the top of the black egg. She was so scared that her hands shook. She quickly put the egg back on the bag, staring at the small hole with her whole body on guard.

After a while, a small head emerged from the small hole. It was black and only the size of her little finger.

This is a small black snake, it is simply a smaller version of the giant snake!
