Looking for you in reincarnation

On this day, Si He was practicing in the front yard. Since she had a good talent for martial arts and was now agile, she had practiced the moves she learned yesterday very well.

So Ning Ji taught her some new moves, and she practiced in the front yard so that he could give her some pointers at any time.

However, around noon, Momo crawled into the front yard. Ning Ji had a keen sense and quickly discovered its presence. He immediately picked up a piece of firewood and was about to attack it.

Seeing this, Si He hurriedly stopped him, "Brother Ning, stop! This is my little snake."

Ning Ji stopped immediately, with a hint of doubt on his face.

At this time, the little snake Momo raised its head, with a fierce look in its eyes, and opened its mouth to intimidate Ning Ji, as if it would bite him at any time.

Seeing Mo Mo's fierce appearance, Si He was a little afraid of it. After all, it had always been very well-behaved and acted very weak and harmless. Maybe it was scared, so it acted like this.

"Momo, be good. It's okay. It's all a misunderstanding."

Si He quickly comforted it.

Hearing her voice, Mo Mo turned around and immediately retracted his fierce look, then flew towards her with a clingy and aggrieved look.

Si He squatted down and reached out to touch its little head. It quickly climbed up and wrapped itself around her wrist, with its head resting on the back of her hand. It looked so well-behaved, without any trace of the fierceness it had just had.

After comforting Mo Mo, Si He raised her head and looked at Ning Ji, explaining to him, "Brother Ning, I'm sorry to disturb you. I found a snake egg in the mountains a while ago and kept it in my bag. It hatched the night before yesterday. I was busy practicing martial arts yesterday and forgot to tell you."

Ning Ji took a look at the little black snake in her hand and said calmly, "Nothing."

He had never seen such a smart little snake.

After this interruption, Si He took a break. It was almost noon now, so it was time to cook some food.

Now that food is not in short supply, she naturally won't treat herself badly.

After dinner, Si He discussed with Ning Ji that she wanted to do some work like copying books to earn some money, and asked him to help.

Nowadays, young women are not suitable to take jobs that put them in public, as it is easy to cause trouble and disputes, unless they are particularly ugly.

She planned to spend half a day practicing martial arts and another half a day copying books to make money.

When Ning Ji heard her plan, he agreed to help her.

In the afternoon, Ning Ji went out, and Si He continued to practice the moves he taught her in the yard.

Momo lay in the corner of the yard, motionless. Only when a small insect passed by it would it open its mouth and swallow it as a snack.

In the evening, Ning Ji came back and said that there was no book copying work in the city for the time being.

Si He couldn't say she was disappointed. After all, the world was not peaceful. It was not like the prosperous cities in the central region. There wasn't so much work for people to do.

Ning Ji continued, "There's been a war on the border, and medicine is scarce. If you want to make some money, you can go out with me to pick herbs and sell them."

Si He's eyes lit up when she heard this, and then she saw him take out a large piece of silver, handed it to her, and said lightly: "I refined the herbs you gave me before and sold them for a lot of money. This is for you."

Si He was stunned for a moment, looked at his expression, then looked at the silver he handed over, and her heart was touched. After a while, she refused and said, "Brother Ning, I said before that it was a thank-you gift for you. I can't accept this silver."

Ning Ji pursed his lips, and seeing that she insisted on not wanting it, he had to take it back.

"Brother Ning, when are you going to go out and look for medicine again? I'll go with you."

Si He's eyes sparkled. Although her main goal now was to learn self-defense skills, it did not prevent her from making money. After all, life required money to maintain, and she was also happy to learn the skills of finding medicine.

She is very positive about learning more survival skills.

Ning Ji thought for a moment and said, "I still have some herbs to process, so it might take a few days before I can go out."

Si He heard this and said happily: "Okay."

Next, Si He did not go out for five days in a row. She practiced martial arts hard in the yard every day. Even the chores of buying groceries were done by Ning Ji, because he went out to buy food early every morning, so she had no chance to go out at all.

As for cooking, Ning Ji was also responsible for it. Firstly, he was a good cook, and secondly, he didn't give her the chance to cook. The most she could do was wash the vegetables for him. Moreover, he kept urging her to practice her moves, so she had no choice but to listen to him.

Although she felt a little tired from practicing these days, she enjoyed it. This kind of life was pretty good and fulfilling.

On this day, Si He was still practicing in the front yard, while Ning Jie was processing medicinal herbs in the house. Suddenly, there was a rare knock on the door.

Seeing Ning Ji busy in the house, she went to open the door.

The door opened, revealing a handsome young man. Although he was carrying a sword, his appearance and dress gave him a scholarly air.

When the man saw that the person opening the door was a beautiful girl, he was stunned and forgot to speak for a moment.

Seeing his reaction, Si He regretted not wearing a veil. Not everyone was like Ning Jie, indifferent to her expression. So she had no choice but to ask, "Sir, what brings you here?"

The man suddenly came to his senses and looked away embarrassedly. Then he politely bowed to her and said, "Excuse me for disturbing you, but is this the residence of Senior Brother Ning Ji Ning?"

Si He nodded and replied, "Yes, sir?"

The man said, "My name is Chen Jing, and I'm Senior Brother Ning's junior fellow apprentice. I was passing through Gucheng today, so I came to visit you."

At this time, Ning Ji walked out of the house. Seeing the newcomer, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised, "Junior Brother Chen."

"Brother Ning, I thought you moved."

After Chen Jing finished speaking, his eyes involuntarily turned to Si He who was standing beside him.

Si He took a few steps back and let the person in with a polite smile on her face, without saying anything.

"This is my distant cousin. My family was in trouble, so she came to seek refuge and is staying here temporarily."

Ning Ji rarely spoke to explain her identity, but his expression remained indifferent and he did not tell her name.

Si He also said with a look, "I'll go get some water."

She turned and left, and Chen Jing's gaze followed her back inconspicuously.

"Junior Brother Chen, why are you coming to Gucheng this time?"

Ning Ji asked and invited him in.

Chen Jing withdrew his gaze and, when he looked at Ning Ji, he regained his usual elegant demeanor. As he walked in, he said, "A village called Shitou Village on the outskirts of Lunte City has been invaded by evil spirits, and the sect has sent some disciples to investigate. We are passing through Gucheng, and it is getting late, so we plan to rest here for the night and continue our journey tomorrow. I thought Senior Brother Ning was also in Gucheng, so I came to visit him."

Taiyi Sect is a long-standing immortal sect that has never interfered in worldly affairs. It only cultivates oneself, seeks the truth, and exorcises evil spirits.

This time, Chen Jing came to visit specially. In addition to the little bit of friendship between him and his senior brother, he also wanted to find help.
