Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 194 A tense night

At the same time, there were some loud noises outside, like something was falling, making "bang bang bang" sounds.

At this time, some Taoists in the shop ran over vigilantly, stood at the entrance of the courtyard, looked from afar at the place where the sound came from, and asked the people in the courtyard.

After understanding the situation, they did not intend to go out to help, but watched vigilantly.

Si He was also watching intently. Although she had confidence in Ning Ji and believed that he could deal with these ghost things, she was still a little worried that he might get hurt.

"what!!!"

At this moment, the screams of the ghosts became a little higher-pitched, no longer as low and mournful as before. It was as if they had suffered unbearable harm, screaming continuously, and the coldness and depression in the air became heavier.

People in the yard looked at the wall, not daring to breathe. Some people even retreated back to the shop early. Only a few people were still staring at it, but they had also prepared their defenses and were ready to retreat at any time.

Fortunately, after a while, the horrible ghost screams outside stopped abruptly, and a dead silence enveloped the surroundings again, as if the whole world had returned to peace.

The next moment, a figure jumped out from outside the wall and landed in the yard.

Ning Ji returned safe and sound.

Si He quickly stepped forward and glanced at his entire body, "Are you okay, husband?"

"It's okay." His eyes were gentle as he looked at her.

After confirming that he was really fine and just had some dust on his hands, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Your hands are dirty, wash your hands first."

She didn't ask any questions, but just took his wrist, walked to the water bucket, picked up the ladle, scooped out a ladle of water, and washed his hands.

Ning Ji raised the corner of his mouth slightly, squatted down and stretched out his hand.

She scooped up ladlefuls of clean water and washed his hands carefully.

The sound of running water was particularly clear in this quiet courtyard.

Under the moonlight, the two people's shadows were stretched very long, and they looked very well matched, especially when the shadows overlapped, it was inexplicably warm, and the horror atmosphere around them was dispelled a lot.

A group of people not far away looked at the two men's backs quietly, with different expressions, but most of them were surprised at Ning Ji's skills.

I knew Ning Ji was skilled in martial arts from the time he drew his sword and injured someone in the shop, but now I am even more surprised at his ability to deal with evil spirits.

Judging from the screams of ghosts outside just now, he dealt with at least three ghosts. The most important thing is that he went out alone and came back unscathed. From this point alone, we can see that he is quite capable.

They had fought with those ghosts outside before, some were strong and some were weak, but those three ghosts just now were not all easy to deal with.

However, thinking about it, it’s not too strange that two people are walking alone in this strange town. If they don’t have some skills, how dare they come in?

Of course, this does not include those young men and women who strayed in by mistake.

At the door, Zhao Laoxie looked at Ning Ji's back with an understanding look on his face. He was not surprised at all.

He looked at it thoughtfully, and once again felt a little regretful for his previous decision to stand by and watch while investigating the details. Now it would be difficult to make friends with them, but it was not impossible to take advantage of them.

The yard was safe for the time being, and those who were in a hurry to use the toilet took advantage of this time to rush to the toilet. After all, if they waited later, they would not dare to come to the backyard again.

After washing Ning Ji's hands, Si He put down the ladle, took out a handkerchief, and helped him wipe the water stains off his hands.

"Husband, don't go out at night next time. It's too dangerous."

She knew that since he was going out, he must be able to handle it, but there are always unexpected things. She was afraid that something might happen to him or he might get hurt. There was no need for them to take risks.

"Okay." He agreed readily and rubbed her head with his hand. "I'll listen to you."

Si He raised her head and looked at his doting eyes. Then she raised the corners of her mouth and smiled, "Let's go back."

"it is good."

Ning Ji took her hand, picked up the candlestick and walked into the shop.

The two walked side by side, and he slowed down his pace to match hers.

Facing a group of onlookers not far away, the gentleness on his face had faded. He was different when facing her than when facing outsiders. When facing outsiders, he was indifferent and distant.

Originally, a few Taoists wanted to come forward and talk, but when they met Ning Ji's cold eyes, they swallowed their words.

The people at the door consciously made way to let the two pass.

Back in the shop, the crowd that had been discussing things in a heated manner suddenly stopped talking when they saw the two men coming back, and stared at them intently. It was not until they returned to the reception room that they began to whisper again, talking about what had happened in the backyard before. At this time, they were still in a state of panic.

In the reception room, after Ning Ji put down the candlestick, he tidied up the bench and found a clean blanket to spread out so Si He could rest. Then he took out the small medicine bottle and said, "He He, it's time to take your medicine."

Today is the time to take medicine again.

He reached out to help her take off the veil on her face and fed her medicine.

She frowned slightly, opened her mouth, and swallowed the small pill he handed her.

"If you're tired, take a nap. You might not be able to sleep well tonight."

He put away the medicine bottle, then raised his hand and gently pushed the hair that fell on her forehead behind her ears.

"Okay." It was still too early. It was just after nightfall. She had been unable to sleep originally, and she had slept for a while during the day. However, the pill had a sleeping effect and allowed her to fall asleep quickly.

She lay down on the bench, looked at Ning Ji who was sitting beside her, and asked, "Are you tired? Why don't you lie down for a while?"

He didn't get any rest today and had to stay up tonight, which made her feel bad.

"Not tired." He smiled and patted her back gently. "Go to sleep."

Helplessly, she had to close her eyes, turn sideways, face him, and sleep for a while.

His hand was still gently patting her back, coaxing her to sleep, his eyes looking at her, gentle and doting.

The light in the room was dim, but her face could still be seen clearly. Her long eyelashes were slightly curled, her face was porcelain white, and her red lips were moist. She looked like a delicate person, but no matter where she was, she never complained.

After a while, she slowly fell asleep, her breathing light and steady.

He then reached out and gently stroked her cheek. The soft touch made the corners of his mouth rise a little.

A room full of love.

Outside the house, the night wind blew gently, making a humming sound. If you listen carefully, you will inexplicably feel like the sound of wronged souls calling out softly, which makes people feel cold in their hearts.

Time passed little by little, and the lobby next door gradually became quiet.

Perhaps due to the temporary calm, some people closed their eyes and took a short nap in this tense atmosphere, taking turns to keep watch.

Many people prayed in their hearts, hoping to get through this tense night safely, but the opposite happened.
