Looking for you in reincarnation
Chapter 44 Burning the Inn
Outside the inn, at a tea stall on the corner of the street, two men in gray were sitting. They stared at the door of the inn with hidden eyes. When they saw Ning Ji coming out, their eyes flickered, but they quickly lowered their heads and drank tea silently.
Ning Ji glanced at him seemingly unintentionally, pursed his thin lips, and the coldness on his body became even heavier. However, he did not stop and walked through the street.
The two men in gray looked at his receding back and whispered a few words. Then, one of them stood up and left, while the other remained sitting in the tea stall, staring at the door of the inn.
As time passed, the people who kept an eye on the inn changed one after another, and the hidden crisis was silent.
In the evening, Ning Ji came back from outside and seemed unaware of the people following him on the street.
But after entering the inn, he noticed something strange in the inn, and his eyes darkened a little.
After going upstairs, he did not return to his room, but knocked on Si He's door first.
Soon, the door opened and she smiled and said, "You're back."
Seeing that she was safe, he felt relieved and said, "Go in and talk."
When Si He heard this and saw that his face looked a little cold, she knew something was wrong, so she quickly turned sideways, let him in, and then closed the door.
"Pack your things and we'll leave here when it gets dark."
After he finished speaking, he walked to the window, opened it, and checked the environment outside.
The location of this guest room is better than his. Outside the window is the back street, which is more secluded.
Si He was a little surprised. She first glanced outside the door before whispering to him, "Is this another shady shop?"
He said: "Almost."
Hearing this, her eyes widened. What kind of luck is this?
The inn yesterday was fine, as it was bribed by Sun Qiquan, but this inn now?
This is no coincidence!
"Why... do we have to wait until dark before leaving?" She looked at him with some confusion.
A faint sneer appeared on his lips, and he kept it a secret, "You'll know later."
Si He became more and more curious at this time, but she did not ask any further questions. Instead, she quickly packed her luggage.
Ning Ji also went back to his room first, picked up the bag in the room, and then returned to Si He's room and locked the door.
Seeing him like this, she was about to ask him what he wanted to do, when suddenly, she keenly heard the light footsteps outside. The movement was just like last night, like a thief.
The two of them looked at the vague figure outside the door and window at the same time. The figure shrank and moved close to the door and window, as if eavesdropping.
Si He silently withdrew her gaze, sat down at the table, and poured a glass of water for Ning Ji, "Cousin, drink some water."
Although the water was cold, it was fine. Since there was something wrong with this inn, she didn't dare ask the waiter to bring her tea, so she just had to drink it.
Ning Ji turned his gaze towards her and sat down at the table. He took the cup she offered him and said, "The government has closed last night's case today. Your departure from the city will not be affected. We will leave tomorrow."
Si He was surprised again. She didn't expect that the government was so efficient and closed the case so quickly. But this was a good thing.
"Okay." She responded, then glanced at the door and window, only to see the figure quietly retreating.
Ning Ji also noticed it, but didn't care and just drank a sip of water silently.
Seeing him so calm and composed, Si He couldn't help but feel a little... excited about what would happen next?
Perhaps she was very confident in Ning Ji's skills, so she was not afraid or nervous about this potential crisis. What's more, she was not a weak woman who could be bullied.
It's a little exciting~
She looked at Ning Ji with sparkling eyes, which made Ning Ji stunned.
He asked, “What’s wrong?”
She suppressed the corner of her mouth that was slightly raised, glanced out the window first, and when she saw no one, she whispered to him: "It's a bit exciting."
He gave a rare little laugh and then shook his head.
After a while, someone came quietly outside again, eavesdropping in the corner and investigating what was going on in the room.
Si He then chatted with Ning Ji about some medicinal herbs, usually she asked questions and he answered.
After listening for a while, the person outside quietly withdrew again, but she believed that the person definitely did not go far and was definitely still staring at this side from a distance.
As the sun set, the sky grew darker. The two of them didn't turn on any lights, and the room gradually became pitch black.
"Let's go." He whispered, then stood up and walked to the window.
Si He immediately carried her bag and followed him. When they reached the window, he said "I'm sorry" to her, then put his arm around her waist and jumped out of the window.
His lightness skill was really amazing. With a few light steps on his tiptoes, he flew like a swallow and in the blink of an eye, he jumped onto a nearby tall building.
Although she could barely do what he did, their situations were different. She was lucky enough to get a great opportunity and transformed her body, but he had real kung fu!
Besides, he brought her with him!
When she landed on the roof, she couldn't help but whisper praise to him, "Cousin, you have great skills!"
When she looked at him, her eyes were still shining, and she felt again that her original decision was correct to find a great master.
Ning Ji lowered his head to look at her. The cold mask covered his face, but it couldn't hide his deep eyes. At this moment, there was something different in his eyes that was barely noticeable.
The hand around her waist became increasingly stiff.
He quickly withdrew his gaze and his slightly stiff hand. He did not respond to her, but looked quietly at the inn not far away.
Si He also looked over there. The view from here was good and it was a relatively hidden location. There were a few tall buildings nearby blocking the view, but the inn could be seen clearly.
Ning Ji looked at it for a while, then sat down and said, "Let's sit and watch for a while, and then find another inn to stay in."
"Oh." Si He responded and sat down carefully. It was quite high.
In order to prevent herself from falling off the roof, she sat next to him, her hand subconsciously pulling at his sleeve.
But her eyes were full of excitement and curiosity as she looked at the inn in the distance, thus ignoring the distinction between men and women and not realizing her inappropriate behavior.
Ning Ji's heart was a little disturbed by her approach and her actions, and his hands were slightly clenched under his sleeves.
"Cousin, what do you think they are going to do?"
He lowered his eyes slightly, looked at her hand holding his sleeve, and said: "I don't know."
Si He turned to look at him in confusion. Why didn't she believe it?
But meeting his emotionless eyes, forget it...
She turned her head again to look at the inn in the distance, and saw fire and thick smoke suddenly rising from there!
"Cousin, look!" Her eyes widened in surprise. She raised her hand and tugged at his hand, while pointing at the fire with her other hand.
Ning Ji raised his eyes and looked towards the inn. He didn't seem surprised and his expression remained calm.
"So they want to burn us to death!" Si He looked at the flames and realized their intention. "Who are they?"
"Someone from the Sun family." he said.
Si He understood, it turned out to be revenge!
But such a big move, not even hesitating to burn down the inn and kill her, shows how angry Madam Sun was.
She pursed her lips slightly. This was really endless!
At this time, the night was dark, and the fire in the inn was getting bigger and bigger, and soon it became a raging fire, a sea of red, which was in sharp contrast to the darkness.
"It's on fire..."
"Put out the fire! Put out the fire!"
