Looking for you in reincarnation

She stood up, lit the candle on the table, then opened the door and asked the waiter to bring a few buckets of hot water. She wanted to take a bath before going to bed.

When the waiter arrived, he was so stunned by her stunning beauty that he was stunned for a long time. It was not until she reminded him with an unhappy look on her face that he hurriedly retreated.

She wondered whether she should wear men's clothes in the future?

After a night's rest, Si He got up early the next day. As soon as Ning Ji came out of the room, she went forward to stop him.

"Cousin, can I go out with you today?"

After calling him cousin several times since yesterday, she has become accustomed to it, so she won't change it now, so as to avoid making mistakes in the future and letting others notice.

"No, I'm not going out to play." He refused without a second thought.

She looked at him eagerly and softened her tone. "I promise I won't hold you back. I won't disturb you when you're doing something. If there's any danger, I'll stay away from you. Okay?"

"No."

"I won't cause you any trouble."

"What are you going to do with me?"

He frowned slightly, looking at her as if he had a headache. She hurriedly continued to persuade him, "Just broaden your horizons. Besides, it's not necessarily safer for me to stay in this city alone than to follow you, right?"

She had now made up her mind to go and take a look. If he disagreed, she would just follow him secretly.

Ning Ji's deep eyes looked straight at her, as if he could see through all her little thoughts clearly.

Si He observed him carefully and saw that he was a little loose. Just as she was about to put more strength in, she saw him say helplessly, "Let's go."

Si He was overjoyed and quickly turned aside to let him go first, saying, "Okay, let's go."

After she finished speaking, she wrapped her head and face with a cloth, and then Ning Ji stepped forward.

She followed behind, looking at Ning Ji's tall back, feeling secretly happy.

After leaving the inn, the two of them had some breakfast at a street stall, and then bought some steamed buns as dry food.

Si He did not forget Mo Mo's food rations, and looked at the stalls on both sides of the street as she walked.

Since it was early in the morning, the street vendors were either selling breakfast or vegetables, and the other stalls had not yet opened.

"what are you looking for?"

Ning Ji saw her looking around all the way and couldn't help but ask.

Si He's eyes suddenly lit up, and she pointed to a stall not far ahead and said to him, "I want to buy some eggs for Momo."

Momo is the little black snake she raised. He knew that it liked to eat eggs, but it rarely showed up in front of him. It usually hid in the backyard or on her wrist under her sleeve.

Si He walked quickly to the stall selling eggs. There were chicken eggs, duck eggs and quail eggs on the stall. She wanted to buy quail eggs.

"Auntie, how much are these eggs?"

She squatted down and pointed at the quail eggs in the basket and asked.

"Quail eggs are one copper coin each, chicken eggs are five copper coins each, and duck eggs are six copper coins each."

The prices are similar to those in Gucheng. Due to the severe famine in the past two years, food prices have skyrocketed, with meat and eggs being the most expensive.

Si He thought about the job he did looking for herbs in the mountains before, when he was only paid five copper coins a day, but now five copper coins can only buy an egg!

This price...

This reward...

hey~

She sighed inwardly, picked out more than a dozen quail eggs, wrapped them up, and paid for them.

After buying the things, Si He followed Ning Ji out of the city.

This was Ning Ji's first time in Lunte City, but he had already found out the location of Stone Village, which was more than ten miles away from the western suburbs of the city.

The rumors of evil spirits in Stone Village have become quite widespread in the city. You can find out something about it without even asking around.

A distance of more than ten miles is not too far. After Ning Ji and Si He left the city, they walked towards the western suburbs.

However, they had not walked far when they heard the sound of horse hooves from behind. The sound was so loud that Ning Ji and Si He made way and walked aside.

"Senior Brother Ning!"

They turned out to be a group of disciples from Taiyi Sect. Chen Jing was riding his horse among them. When he saw Ning Ji in front of him, he shouted loudly, pulled the reins excitedly, slowed down, and let the other brothers and sisters go first.

"Why is cousin Si here too?" Chen Jing was a little surprised that Si He also came, but this was not to play!

The other people from Taiyi Sect took the opportunity to glance at the two people on the side of the road, but they did not slow down and rode their horses past. Only a few of them left a word to urge Chen Jing.

"Junior Brother Chen, hurry up and follow!"

Chen Jing had no choice but to say to the two of them, "Brother Ning, Cousin Si, we'll go ahead."

Ning Ji and Si He both nodded and said nothing.

Chen Jing rode away.

After a while, the people from Taiyi Sect rode away on their horses and disappeared from view.

However, she soon discovered that after the people from Taiyi Sect left, Ning Ji's walking speed slowed down.

Si He looked at him in confusion, but didn't ask any more questions. Although she didn't know what the dispute between him and Taiyi Sect was, it was definitely unpleasant. She could tell from the attitude of the Taiyi Sect disciples.

At this time, the little black snake on her wrist moved. She raised her hand and pulled aside her sleeve to take a look. It must be hungry.

"Let's take a break first."

Ning Ji saw this and said to her.

She wanted to say that it was okay and she could feed it while walking, but she quickly realized that he was indeed not in a hurry to go to Stone Village, so she nodded.

The two walked to a big tree beside the road and sat on the rocks under the tree to rest for a while.

Si He took out a quail egg from her pocket, cracked a small hole in the egg as usual, and fed it to the little black snake.

This was the first time Ning Ji saw her feeding a snake, and he couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

The little snake was originally very obedient, but after noticing Ning Ji's gaze, it immediately looked at him with some vigilance, raised its head slightly, and its eyes were cold, as if warning him.

Seeing it like this, Si He smiled and patted its head. Pointing at Ning Ji with her other hand, she said, "He's one of us. You can't be mean to him."

Her voice was soft and pleasant to the ears. Under her comfort and instruction, the little snake lowered its head and continued to eat the egg liquid.

Ning Ji raised his eyes and saw her looking at him with a smile. She said, "Cousin, Momo is very well behaved."

"Ah."

He responded, then withdrew his gaze, took out a brown-gray wooden sign from his arms and handed it to her.

"This is a talisman to ward off evil spirits. Wear it on your body, and ordinary evil spirits will not be able to get close to you."

Si He took the talisman curiously and looked at it carefully. She didn't know what wood it was made of, but it had a faint fragrance, a very special wood fragrance that made people feel calm when they smelled it.

The talisman wasn't very large, only an inch wide and two inches long, and as thick as a finger, but it felt quite substantial in the hand. Both sides of the talisman were engraved with complex red runes, giving it a very mysterious look.

"Thank you, cousin."

She was naturally very happy to have an extra piece of protective equipment, and she was sincerely grateful regardless of whether it was useful or not.

Ning Ji only responded calmly, "Yeah."
