Looking for you in reincarnation

Si He withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the old man beside him. Then he loosened his hand and did not answer. He just shook his head to indicate that there was no need to thank him, then turned and left.

"Mom, are you okay?"

A middle-aged man walked over quickly and asked the old man.

"It's okay." The old man shook his head at his son, then looked at the thin figure that was gradually walking away.

"Then hurry up and go while it's still early."

The man urged impatiently.

The old man withdrew his gaze and looked at his son. After hesitating for a moment, he pulled him and whispered a few words.

After he finished speaking, the man followed his mother's gaze and looked at the thin figure. He looked at him thoughtfully for a long time before continuing to walk forward with his mother.

On the official road, people fleeing famine came in waves. Some of them could not survive the famine, while others were caught up in the war and forced to flee.

Si He followed the crowd silently, and rested on the roadside when she was tired. She stopped and walked along the way, and fortunately nothing unexpected happened.

As night fell, everyone camped at the foot of the mountain by the road, preparing to rest for a night before continuing their journey tomorrow.

Everyone picked up some dead branches, sat together in groups of three or four, and made a fire to keep warm.

In this border area, the temperature difference between day and night is quite large. It is cool and comfortable during the day, but it is freezing cold at night, especially at the foot of the mountain, where the cold penetrates into the bone.

Si He also followed suit and picked up a pile of dry branches, preparing to find a place to sit down and borrow some fire later.

At this time, an old lady waved at her and motioned her to come over. It was the old man she had helped before.

Si He hesitated for a while and finally walked over.

"Little boy, sit here so you can look after each other."

The old woman was very kind and smiling, and she didn't despise her for being a beggar.

Si He nodded at her, put down the dead branch in her hand, and sat down opposite her.

"Little boy, is there anyone else at home?" the old woman asked kindly.

Si He shook her head.

She didn't speak. The old woman blinked her eyes. It was unclear whether she was mute or didn't want to speak. After a while, she smiled and said, "Thank you so much for lunch."

Si He shook her head again, pretending to be dumb, then picked up some dead branches and threw them into the fire, making it burn a little more vigorously.

The old woman still looked at her with a smile and said kindly: "You are a good child."

At this time, the old woman's son came over here. He picked up a lot of branches and put them aside. This was enough to burn for a while.

The man glanced at Si He and thought to himself, his mother's eyes are really sharp, she can actually tell that this dirty and smelly beggar is a beauty?

Although he was confused, he still acted according to the plan. After putting down the firewood, he walked to the nearby stream to wash his hands, and then fetched some water from upstream and took it back.

Beside the fire, the old woman and Si He were roasting themselves by the fire and eating wild fruits.

I was lucky enough to come across the wild fruits while traveling during the day.

In this wilderness, it was a godsend to find a few wild fruit trees. Everyone was so happy that they rushed forward and fought fiercely for the fruits. Si He only managed to grab a small apple.

Food is scarce now, and Si He doesn't dare to take out the steamed bun in her pocket to eat it easily, for fear of attracting attention and causing trouble. She can only eat the fruit and save the steamed bun for tomorrow.

Not only her, but others did the same. They hid their food and valuables well, as if they were guarding against thieves, and were very wary of outsiders.

After eating the apple, Si He still felt very hungry. The apple was too small and she finished it in just a few bites. It also tasted sour and astringent. After eating it, she felt even hungrier.

She could only pick up the small gourd and drink a few sips of water to fill her stomach.

At this time, the old woman handed her half a cake and said with a kind smile: "Eat some, I can't finish it even if I am an old woman."

Si He looked at the half cake in the old woman's hand, and the other half in her other hand. Si He hesitated for a moment about her kindness, and finally shook her head and did not take it.

But the old woman stuffed the cake into her hands and said, "You saved me, so what's the big deal about eating half a cake? Eat it."

Helpless, she had to take the cake and nodded to thank the old woman, still without saying a word.

The old woman then lowered her head to eat the other half of the cake in her hand. Si He took a look and also buried her head in eating the cake.

However, the cake was really not tasty, it was dry and slightly salty. She really couldn't get used to it, but in order to fill her stomach, she had to eat it reluctantly.

After eating the cake, Si He picked up the gourd and drank water in big gulps. Now she was really full.

However, when she put down the gourd, she noticed the old woman's gaze on her. She looked up and saw the old woman smiling faintly.

It was a very kind smile, but at that moment, she felt inexplicably creepy, as if she was being stared at by a poisonous snake.

Si He's heart beat faster, but she remained expressionless, lowered her eyes, and silently screwed the lid of the gourd shut.

Is she being targeted?

It turned out that she was not vigilant enough, but she did not expect that she would be targeted by others even though she looked like a dirty and smelly beggar!

And he is the one who saved my life!

So the cake we just ate...

Si He's eyes turned slightly cold, and she immediately tied the gourd around her waist, then picked up the wooden stick beside her and stood up.

"Little girl, what's wrong?" The old woman was a little surprised that she suddenly stood up.

Si He covered her stomach with one hand, pretending to be uncomfortable and going to the bathroom, then quickly ran to the nearby forest.

Seeing this, the old woman's son hurried back. The old woman asked him to go with her to take a look, and just said that she didn't want to worry about a little kid going into the mountains alone.

The people around just glanced over here and then looked away. No one would be interested in a smelly beggar, and no one noticed anything unusual.

The old woman's son quickly followed her into the forest. Si He looked back, her eyes growing colder. She quickened her pace and took out a sharp hairpin from her arms.

However, she didn't run far before she felt dizzy. She must have been drugged!

She bit the tip of her tongue cruelly, and the pain made her instantly clear-headed.

She gritted her teeth and walked through the mountains and forests, trying to turn to the official road from the other side.

In the current situation, the right thing to do is to escape. The world is in chaos, and she doesn't dare to gamble whether the refugees will lend her a hand. Moreover, she has been drugged, and if the mother and son make up stories that distort the truth, she won't even have a chance to refute them.

When her identity and appearance are discovered, she will not have a good ending.

Si He felt very regretful at this moment. She shouldn't have been so kind as to save the old woman today, and ended up bringing disaster upon herself!

She saved a poisonous snake!
