Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 291 Sleep and Slumber

Ning Ji was quite familiar with the Tianshan Mountains on the border of the Great Yan Kingdom. He had come here before to look for medicine and knew which places he could pass through without being seen by the soldiers.

Liu Mao rode his horse and followed behind. Seeing Ning Ji leading the way in front, he was a little confused, but when he thought that this was the territory of the Great Yan Kingdom, he quickly understood.

They are all from Beisha Country, and they will be strictly investigated when they come to Dayan Country, especially those who come through Tianshan Mountain. They will be paid special attention to and may even be detained. If it were in the past, the most they would be fined, but now that the two countries are at war, the situation is much more serious.

But he was puzzled. Weren't they supposed to be looking for that expensive medicinal flower? What were they going out to do? To restock their food?

After taking a detour for a long time, they finally entered a forest from a remote valley, and then climbed over several mountains before they finally got out of the forest.

Fortunately, we had horses. If we had walked, we would have been able to walk a lot.

It was almost evening. After leaving the forest, Ning Ji put on a mask he hadn't seen for a long time, which made Liu Mao even more puzzled.

They galloped along the path and found an inn to stay at night.

Nowadays, the border war is fierce, and the inspections at inns are not as strict, but it is also more chaotic than before. Fights, robberies and murders happen every day.

As soon as they entered the inn, many people stared at them, looking at them blatantly, as if they were estimating the condition of the prey and the success rate of their attack.

But Ning Ji and Liu Mao didn't look like people who were easy to mess with. Ning Ji was cold and fierce, with a hint of murderous intent, while Liu Mao looked even more ferocious, completely revealing his original bandit aura. He even had a big knife in his hand, as if he was going to come in and rob, not like someone who was staying at the hotel!

The people in the inn immediately calmed down. The innkeeper waited nervously and greeted the person and quickly took him upstairs.

Si He took off her veil after entering the guest room. However, before she sat down, she heard the sound of fighting outside.

She walked to the window, opened it, and looked at the two groups fighting outside the inn. It was obvious that a group of bandits had targeted a caravan, but the guards of the caravan were quite strong. The two sides had similar numbers and strengths, and the fight was evenly matched.

The night was dark, but the lanterns in front of the inn were bright, and there were also some torches lit in the caravan, so the fight between the two groups was very clear. Many people in the inn also gathered around the doors and windows to watch the fun.

The Great Yan Kingdom seems to be much more chaotic than the Beisha Kingdom.

After a long time, the bandits, unable to capture the city and gradually losing the upper hand, finally gritted their teeth and retreated.

The people in the caravan were cautious and did not chase them. They just shouted and cursed at their backs as they left.

At this time, the waiter came and knocked on the door, bringing the hot water that had been requested.

The situation in the inn was complicated, so Ning Ji and Si He only wanted hot water for a bath and didn't want anything to eat. There were some wild fruits and meat in their bags, so they could just eat some at night.

Ning Ji opened the door and asked them to carry the hot water to the inner room.

Several waiters carried the hot water in with great effort. Before leaving, they secretly glanced at the woman by the window. Unfortunately, they only saw her graceful back, and Ning Ji was still wearing a mask, looking mysterious. They had no choice but to look away and quickly left the room.

Silence returned to the guest room, and the situation outside also subsided.

Only then did Ning Ji take off his mask and walk towards Si He.

"The water is ready, you can take a bath."

Hearing his voice, Si He finally closed the window and said, "Okay."

She turned around, looked at Ning Ji, and asked again, "Husband, how far is this place from the valley in Lingcheng?"

"It's about half a day's journey."

Hearing him say this, Si He raised the corners of her lips. She was in a very good mood because she would be able to pick up Mo Mo tomorrow.

Ning Ji walked up to her. In the candlelight, she looked very healthy, fair, rosy, and her face was like a peach blossom. She was getting better and better with her treatment.

He couldn't help himself and reached out to pinch her face. It felt soft and smooth, like a peeled egg.

Her beautiful eyes widened slightly. Why were you pinching her face?

But before she could say anything, Ning Ji picked her up and she subconsciously hugged his neck and heard him say, "There's no rush to pick up the little one. You can go to the city tomorrow."

As he spoke, he carried her into the inner room.

"Okay, is it too dangerous to go into the city?" She thought that it was important to get things done, but she was a little worried that the government was still closely tracking their whereabouts. Although Jiang Yuan was missing and the pressure on the government was greatly reduced, they would not withdraw the wanted order easily.

Ning Ji carried her into the inner room, stopped by the bathtub, put her down, and then expertly undressed her. He said, "I'll go into the city tomorrow to investigate the situation. You can just rest in the inn."

"Oh." She didn't insist. After all, the sun was so hot during the day that it wasn't really suitable for her to go out. It would be better for her to wait in the inn.

At this moment, her coat had been taken off, and she quickly said, "I, I'll wash it myself."

If he helps, who knows how long it will take to wash!

However, when she looked up at him, she saw a fire burning in his eyes...

……

This bath was extremely tiring. After tossing and turning, it was already late at night when I lay down on the bed.

She lay limply on the bed, her eyelids heavy and she had no strength left.

Ning Ji lay beside her with a satisfied look on his face, holding her in his arms. She glared at him, then closed her eyes and fell asleep.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and he kissed her forehead gently, saying softly, "Go to sleep."

She fell asleep in his arms, her breathing was light and her sleeping face was sweet.

Ning Ji looked at her quietly for a while. After a while, he waved at the candle on the table. In an instant, the candle went out and the room was dark.

A good night's sleep.

In the early morning, when the sun rises, the sunlight shines through the window into the house, making it bright.

Ning Ji had woken up a long time ago, but seeing that she was sleeping soundly, he did not get up.

After these days of recuperation, she no longer sleeps silently like a dead person as before, but with shallow breathing, like a normal person again.

The way she sleeps now is different from being in a deep sleep. Only when she is in a deep sleep does she lack the characteristics of a living person.

Ning Ji looked at her sleeping face quietly for a while. Her cheeks were pink, her lips were rosy, and her breathing was shallow. He couldn't help but curl his lips, and then stayed with her to sleep for a while.

After a long time, as the light in the room became brighter and brighter, Si He opened her eyes drowsily. She glanced towards the window, then buried her head in Ning Ji's arms, covering her face, looking like she had not gotten enough sleep.

Ning Ji opened his eyes and saw her like this. He couldn't help but smile again, then turned sideways to block the light for her and reached out to gently stroke her back.

Originally, she wanted to continue sleeping, but suddenly she remembered that Ning Ji was going into the city. After she calmed down for a while, she opened her eyes again and looked at Ning Ji.
