Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 236: Changes towards the ‘living dead’

After leaving the town, the carriage drove southwest along the official road.

Si He lifted the car curtain and looked at the night outside.

The road was quiet, with no pedestrians around. Only the chirping of insects and frogs could be heard from the grass by the roadside.

The night breeze is gentle and cool, without the heat of the day.

She lay by the window, admiring the moonlight, and suddenly felt that it was nice to go out at night, quiet and cool.

"Husband, can you see the road clearly?"

Because of her special situation, he chose to travel at night, but traveling at night was very inconvenient. Not to mention the dangers, even looking at the road was tiring.

Although the moonlight is bright tonight and there are lanterns hanging on the carriage to add some light, it is still not as convenient as during the day.

"It's clear," he said, adding, "If you feel bored, there are some snacks and preserved fruits in the car. You can eat some."

She smiled and replied, "Okay."

The carriage moved slowly, she ate preserved fruit and chatted with Ning Ji, until the night deepened and she felt sleepy, then she closed her eyes and took a nap.

She originally just wanted to sleep for a while, but she fell into a deep sleep. When she woke up, she was lying on a bed.

Ning Ji was lying beside her, sleeping soundly with his breathing steady.

There was confusion in her eyes. She had clearly slept in the carriage last night, and when she woke up, she found herself in this bed. She didn't expect that she had slept so deeply and for so long.

She moved her body, raised her head slightly, and took a look at the room. The decoration and furnishings were very simple. It looked more like a house than an inn.

Curtains were also drawn on the windows of the house, but because the curtains were small, they did not block the entire window. Some light still shone through the window paper, adding some brightness to the room and preventing it from being completely dark.

She glanced at the window, then looked away and retracted her head.

As soon as she moved, she woke Ning Ji up, although her movements were very gentle.

"wake up?"

He hugged her again and held her in his arms. His voice was a little hoarse because he had just woken up.

"Yeah." Si He nestled in his arms, rubbed his neck, and found a comfortable position.

"Sleep with me a little longer." He said, kissing the top of her head. His voice was a little lazy, and it was obvious that he had not slept enough.

"Okay." Knowing that he had been traveling all night, she stopped arguing with him, and quietly lay in his arms, closed her eyes, and took a nap.

Time passed little by little, and it was not until the afternoon that Ning Ji woke up after having slept enough.

At this moment, Si He was sleeping soundly, her breathing was so weak that it was almost inaudible, but her cheeks were not as pale as the previous two days, but a little rosier, and her lips were also light pink, and she looked more energetic.

Looking at her sleeping face, Ning Ji raised the corners of his lips slightly, and reached out to touch her cheek gently. The touch was smooth, soft and slightly cool, which made him reluctant to let go, and he touched it gently again and again.

Then, his fingertips touched the tip of her nose uncontrollably. This time, her breathing gradually became clearer, and her brows frowned, as if she was about to wake up. Only then did he stop.

In the dim light, he looked at her delicate little face quietly. Perhaps because his gaze was too intense, she woke up slowly.

After her long eyelashes trembled, she opened her eyes and met his smiling eyes.

"woke up?"

Ning Ji's voice was gentle and doting, and his eyes showed a tenderness and tenderness that was unique to her.

"Well, when did you wake up?" She looked at him sleepily.

"Just woke up a while ago." He raised his hand and touched her head.

She asked curiously: "By the way, where are we?"

He said, "This is a house in a village. There's a big city nearby. The medicinal materials there are more complete. We can stay here for a while and recuperate you."

"Oh."

She now has a better understanding of her own body, and in her current condition, it is indeed not suitable for her to run around.

In the past few days, she started to become a little sleepy again, and couldn't stand the warm sunlight. It was very strange, and she was becoming more and more like a "living dead".

Now I can only find a place to stay, recuperate, and see how things go.

As for not entering the city, it was mainly because of the bronze tripod.

The bronze tripod was suppressing something, and even though it was wrapped in layers of talisman paper and cloth, it still had a faint sense of coldness.

The inspections at entry into big cities are stricter, and there are also some Taoists with high levels of Taoism in the city. If this thing is discovered by someone, it will always cause trouble.

So Ning Ji chose to settle down outside the city, and it was quiet here, suitable for her to recuperate.

This house is far away from the farm, located at the foot of the mountain. It is an idle house, so it is very cheap to rent.

The main thing is that this place is quiet enough and close to the big city, only a few miles away. It’s a bit simple, but after cleaning it up, it’s still habitable.

She nestled in his arms, talked to him for a while, and then got up with him.

However, since the sun was shining brightly outside, she did not go out and let Ning Ji bring in the water for washing.

After washing up, Ning Ji went to get some food, and then she began to clean the house. Because she had only rented the house for a month, which was quite a long time, she needed to clean it up properly.

When Ning Ji came in with the food, he saw the tidy and clean house and pursed his lips. He had originally planned to clean up after dinner, but he didn't expect her to clean up first.

"He He, next time just wait for me to clean up, you don't have to do all this."

Hearing him say this, Si He smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm free anyway, and packing up won't be tiring."

As she spoke, she saw the food he brought in, and her eyes lit up, "It smells so good."

She wasn't very hungry at first, but the food he made was so delicious that she felt a little hungry just by looking at and smelling it.

Seeing her greedy look, he smiled and said, "Wash your hands first and eat."

"it is good."

After he put the food on the table, he went out and brought in a basin of clean water for her to wash her hands.

"Eat something simple first to fill your stomach. It's still early now. I can go to the city and buy some meat later. Whatever you want, I will make it for you then."

Because of limited food, he made meat porridge with dried meat and fried a pancake. It was a very simple meal.

As he spoke, he served her meat porridge.

"Anything is fine. Everything you make tastes good."

Hearing this, his smile deepened. He handed the bowl to her and warned her, "Be careful, it's hot."

"Hmm." She picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful of meat porridge, blew on the hot steam, and tasted it. "Delicious."

"Then eat more." He said, and put another pancake on the small plate in front of her, his eyes soft.

"You should eat quickly too." She urged.

"Okay." His voice was gentle and doting.

The afternoon sun shines through the gaps in the doors and windows, and mottled light and shadows fall on the ground, adding some brightness and warmth to the room.
