Looking for you in reincarnation

"cousin."

She called him softly without asking where he was going. Everyone has their own secrets, and she didn't want to explore them. Sometimes knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing.

"There's a cave at the foot of the mountain on the side where you can take shelter from the rain."

After he finished speaking, he took her down the mountain without saying anything more to her.

Going down the mountain was harder than going up, especially on this rainy day. She almost fell down several times. Fortunately, Ning Ji was a gentleman. He picked up a branch and let her hold the other end of the branch while he walked in front.

When we reached the foot of the mountain on the side, we saw that there were already quite a few people taking shelter from the rain in that wide cave. They were basically passers-by and merchant caravans. Their horse-drawn carriages and ox-drawn carts were parked on the mountain beside the official road, with some servants and guards left to watch over them.

There were some disciples of the immortal sect in the cave. They were all injured, so they came to the cave to shelter from the rain and bandage their wounds.

The arrival of Ning Ji and Si He did not attract much of their attention, because they were dressed in ordinary clothes and looked disheveled, just like those passers-by taking shelter from the rain.

At this time, most of their attention was on the injured disciples of the immortal sect. There was such a big commotion in Stone Village before, with sounds of fighting everywhere. It was said that there was an evil spirit, so they all hid here to avoid it. If the official road had not passed through Stone Village, they would have left in the rain long ago.

Nowadays, although there are many people in the cave, most of them are as quiet as chickens, hoping that the rain will stop and the evil spirits will be quelled, and they want to leave this haunted place as soon as possible.

Si He and Ning Ji stood in a corner near the cave entrance. Ning Ji had his back to the mountain wall. After glancing at the crowd in the cave, he quietly looked at the rain outside, waiting for it to stop.

Si He wrung out the water stains on her sleeves, trying to lighten the burden as much as possible. She was soaked by the rain and her clothes were heavy. She only stood there for a while and a puddle of water appeared on the ground. When she wrung out her sleeves, a pile of water came out.

Mo Mo, who was wrapped around her wrist, poked its head out and stuck out its tongue. Si He quickly reached out and pulled her sleeve to cover it, and touched its head to comfort it and make it retract.

When there are outsiders around, she usually doesn't let it show up, for fear of scaring people. After all, raising a snake and carrying it on your body is a bit weird, and she is afraid of being criticized.

However, after a while, Momo came out from the sleeve again, but this time, its head was turned towards Si He, with its mouth slightly open, looking fierce and warning.

"Hi~"

A cold hissing sound came from its mouth, but fortunately the rain outside was so loud that it covered up its sound and no one noticed this ferocious little snake.

This was the second time Si He saw it look so ferocious. The first time was when it first met Ning Ji. What was the reason this time?

Not far in front of Si He was a group of men who looked like businessmen. They faced Si He sideways, just looking at the rain outside and talking in low voices. There was nothing special.

She didn't know what was wrong with Momo, but she could only comfort it first. After her caress, it finally calmed down a little and stopped screaming. However, it refused to retract into her sleeve, only sticking its little head out and resting on the back of her hand, its eyes still staring at the front.

Seeing Mo Mo's strange behavior, Si He couldn't help but look at the person not far ahead carefully again. Although she still didn't see anything special, for some reason, she inexplicably had a strange feeling in her heart, a feeling that made her hair stand on end, as if there was something dangerous here.

Only now did she realize that the temperature in the cave was much lower than outside. She originally thought that it was because she was soaked all over, and as time went on, her body would feel colder and colder, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Si He frowned slightly, and the next moment, she seemed to realize something. She lowered her head to look at her waist, only to see the brown-gray talisman tied around her waist, gently turning!

She didn't move, and there was no wind!

Instantly, she got goosebumps. She turned to look at Ning Ji, only to see him staring at the little snake on her wrist. She reached out and grabbed his sleeve, calling him in a frightened voice, "Cousin, the talisman is moving."

Ning Ji raised his eyes to look at her, then glanced at the talisman on her waist, and replied calmly in a low voice, "Nothing."

Si He looked at him with some admiration and anxiety. In this situation, it was obvious that there was "something" around him, but what did his nonchalant attitude mean?

She didn't know what his plan was, but she was holding his sleeve tightly at this moment, feeling more at ease this way. Even if he said it was okay, she didn't dare to relax.

It was not convenient to ask more questions at this time, and Ning Ji obviously would not say much, so she had no choice but to keep silent and stand next to him.

He let her move without struggling to get rid of his sleeve.

The talisman on her waist was shaking slowly. No one noticed her abnormality, but she still covered it with her wide sleeves without leaving any trace.

The situation now was different from the previous one outside the tomb in the heart of Tianshan Mountain. Those evil corpses were completely isolated. They couldn't get out and could only roar at her from a distance, and it was visible to her.

But now the "things" nearby are invisible, which makes her feel even more frightened. She is most afraid of ghosts!

I don't know what she was thinking before, why she had to follow Ning Jie to Stone Village? Although her original intention was good and she could broaden her horizons, this is really a test of one's courage!

At this moment, her heart was beating wildly, her whole body was cold, and she always felt that that "thing" was staring at her!

Fortunately, Ning Ji, the master of exorcism, was here, and he was wearing a talisman, otherwise she would never have been able to stay!

Time passed by little by little. In the cave, it seemed that no one except Ning Ji and Si He noticed anything strange in the cave. The "thing" was also very honest, and nothing special happened for the time being.

The rain outside gradually stopped, the dark clouds dispersed, the sky suddenly became much brighter, and the fog in the mountains and forests also dissipated. It seemed that everything had settled down and the crisis was eliminated.

The people in the cave immediately walked out one after another, and hurried on their way while it was still early.

Si He and Ning Ji also walked out. She didn't want to stay in the cave for a moment. The creepy feeling was too uncomfortable.

But before leaving, she glanced at the man inconspicuously. He was a very ordinary businessman and looked normal. If it weren't for Mo Mo and the reaction of the talisman, she would not have noticed this man.

When she stared at the man, she inexplicably felt a little nervous and her heart beat faster. She quickly looked away and followed Ning Ji away.

The people on the road were all heading to Lunte City, and since it was on the way, Ning Ji paid ten copper coins, and the two of them took a small horse-drawn carriage carrying goods back to Lunte City.

When passing the official road to Shitou Village, Si He saw from afar in front of Shitou Village a group of immortal disciples and officials who looked very embarrassed. Some of them were sitting around bandaging their wounds.

There were many corpses around them, including those of officials and villagers. The villagers had the most corpses, estimated to be dozens. The scene was horrifying.
