Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 171 Leaving the Village

Wei Xiaohu huddled in the quilt, his heart beating wildly as if it was about to jump out of his chest. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead and his face turned pale. This inexplicable fear almost suffocated him.

Ding~ding~

After a while, the ringing of the bell gradually faded away, as did the chaotic footsteps. Wei Xiaohu finally felt better. After a long time, he dared to breathe secretly, and the feeling of panic slowly subsided.

At this time, the ringing stopped and there was silence outside.

Wei Xiaohu's body was stiff, and his head poked out a little from under the quilt. He pricked up his ears and listened carefully, but still heard no movement. Perhaps it was because the distance was too far.

The previous ringing and footsteps were heading towards the backyard, and his residence was a bit far from the backyard.

After a while, he stuck his head out and looked towards the window. It was quiet and dark outside.

After thinking about it, he retracted his head, curled up his body, closed his eyes, and tried his best not to think about anything and fall asleep early.

But sometimes, the more he thought about sleeping, the more he couldn't fall asleep. Although he was no longer panicking, the previous feelings were too deep, and the idea of ​​fear was still lingering in his mind.

Si He couldn't sleep either. She sat on the bed, listening quietly to the noise outside.

The ringing stopped and the talisman on her waist stopped shaking.

She took off the talisman and played with it nonchalantly, occasionally looking outside.

The window in the room was not closed, leaving a gap so that one could listen to what was happening outside.

Ning Ji came back after a long time. He was still cold because he had just taken a shower.

"Is everything going well?" She was still a little worried. After all, so many people were carrying strange evil spirits, and it would be difficult to suppress them.

"Well, don't worry." He rubbed her hair habitually and said, "Go to sleep if you are tired. No need to wait for me."

"Yeah." She responded.

After turning off the lights and going to bed, she wanted to ask something, but after thinking about it, she decided not to ask. Since he didn't want her to be involved in these things, then she shouldn't ask.

As long as he is okay, it's fine.

She nestled in his arms, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Ning Ji held her with one hand and patted her back gently. After a while, he could hear her soft and steady breathing.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and after a while, he closed his eyes.

A good night's sleep.

Early in the morning, when Si He woke up, the seat next to her was already cold. It was obvious that Ning Ji had gotten up early.

She sat on the bed awake, thinking that Ning Ji was busy researching medicine, but after a while, the door opened and he came in carrying some prepared pancakes and rice porridge.

"Are you up?" He put the food on the table in the house and walked towards her.

She nodded with sleepy eyes, then yawned lazily, and her eyes were filled with moisture, like shining stars.

He raised the corner of his mouth gently, sat down on the edge of the bed, and reached out to tidy up her slightly messy long hair.

She snuggled into his arms, put her arms around his waist, closed her eyes, and took a nap for a while.

Seeing that she looked like she was still half asleep, he smiled faintly and stroked her hair while saying, "After you wash up, have breakfast first. What do you want for lunch? I'll make it for you then."

She closed her eyes, rubbed against his arms, and said, "Oh, there is some bacon in the kitchen. I want to eat bacon rice at noon."

"Okay." He said in a gentle voice, "I'll be busy these few days. You can have fun in the village by yourself. When I'm done with this, I'll take you to the city to eat delicious food."

Si He found his words a little funny. She felt that he treated her like a child, either eating or playing, but she still smiled and said, "Okay."

Next, for several days, Ning Ji was busy in the backyard, but he still cooked for her on time at mealtime. Apart from that, he was busy and had to get up early and go to bed late.

Si He spent most of her time in the front yard, reading some books she brought with her. There were not many books, and she originally intended to read them when she was bored in the carriage, but now she could use them to pass the time.

Wei Xiaohu still let him stand guard at the entrance of the village and did not let him go to his backyard. It was better for him not to know some things, although he might have guessed something.

It is also necessary to keep watch. Although this is a bandit's den, we are afraid that someone will really come here, or the government will come to suppress the bandits, which will be troublesome.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, seven days had passed.

Ning Ji's research was also coming to an end. When Si He learned that she was about to leave, she began to pack up.

As for the unconscious women, Ning Ji asked Wei Xiaohu to feed them medicine to wake them up.

This was the first time that Wei Xiaohu stepped into the backyard. It was in the evening, near dusk, and the setting sun was shining obliquely. He had felt a little hot in the front yard, but after stepping into the backyard, he inexplicably felt cool.

The peace and tranquility during this period almost made him forget his previous fear.

He walked into a house in the backyard with the potion in his hand, looking nervous. A group of women were lying in the house. They had been in a coma for many days and their complexions were very bad. Their lips were even cracked due to lack of water.

He fed them medicine one by one, and soon they woke up one after another.

When they saw Wei Xiaohu, they couldn't help but be surprised. They only remembered that before they fell into a coma, the village chief fed them medicine. They were terrified at the time and thought they were going to die. Unexpectedly, when they woke up, the child said that the village had been destroyed and they could go home?

This feels like a dream.

After being surprised, the group of women, although very weak, still wanted to ask him about the situation in the village.

However, Wei Xiaohu still only had one sentence: the village had arrived, and asked them to leave tomorrow.

In fact, he had no idea how the village was destroyed. Apart from hearing some unusual movements on the first night, he saw nothing and knew nothing.

At this moment, even though he came to the backyard, he didn't see any other people, not even a bandit. It seemed that everyone in the village had disappeared, and even the corpses were not seen. He didn't know what the male master had done.

In the evening, Wei Xiaohu cooked a big pot of porridge for them. After all, they had been in a coma for so many days before waking up, and they could only eat porridge.

The next day, everyone got up early, especially the group of women who had woken up. After a night's rest, they had gotten much better. Although they were still very weak, they could already walk.

They walked out of the room and looked at the empty village from the window. They still felt it was unbelievable. They had never expected that so many people in the village were gone.

In the morning, Wei Xiaohu cooked a big pot of porridge for them again. While they were eating, they kept asking him about the situation. As a result, they only found out that he had only two masters, which made them even more surprised.

After they finished their breakfast, Ning Ji and Si He walked out of the house with their bags. In response to their inquiring looks, Si He simply told them to divide the property in the meeting hall and go home.
