Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 295 Going to Pick Up Momo

Si He narrowed her eyes and smiled, saying sweetly, "I'm hungry."

Ning Jiyi smiled, reached out and rubbed her head, then put his arm around her and opened the small bundle on the table with the other hand, took out the food box from it, and continued to feed her while holding her in this way.

Compared to the warmth in the room, in the woods outside the inn, although Chen Jing and the other two had some sweet potatoes to fill their stomachs, they were still very hungry. They didn't have a pot, so even if they could find wild vegetables, they couldn't cook them, and no one would be kind enough to lend them a pot. These days, after borrowing something, you might not be able to return it. Things like pots are quite precious to refugees.

Not far away, a group of people were gathered around a big pot, looking forward to it and drooling. Although the pot contained a hodgepodge of wild vegetables, wild fruits, grass roots and mushrooms, the smell was very mixed and the food looked unappetizing, but as long as it could fill the stomach, it was a good thing!

There were a lot of people staring at them around, and even people kept coming to beg for food, but they were all ruthlessly driven away, and if they refused to leave, they would be beaten!

Chen Jing and the other two couldn't help but look over there, but they ultimately refrained from moving forward, as it was useless. They all swallowed and closed their eyes, believing that out of sight, out of mind.

A peaceful night passed.

The next day was another sunny day, and when the sun rose, it began to get hot.

The people in the forest had already gone to the nearby mountains and forests to look for food, and some began to beg for food along the official road and at the city gate. Chen Jing and the other two had no choice but to follow them to the mountains and forests to find some food. They could not bring themselves to beg from others, nor could they expect to fill their stomachs with the porridge distributed by the government.

Not long after they entered the forest, Ning Ji and Si He left the inn and rode away on horseback, avoiding the meeting.

Si He was wrapped tightly as always, not letting any light through.

Ning Ji held her in his arms and rode his horse towards the deserted village behind Wujia Village.

They occasionally encountered some refugees running around along the way, but nothing happened and no officials came to check them. Soon, the two arrived at Wujia Village.

This place is just as deserted as before, with weeds growing everywhere.

Judging from the lush weeds, no one has been here for a long time.

Ning Ji rode his horse non-stop, passing through the weeds, startling many flying insects and small animals along the way.

After a while, they arrived at the cool and dark valley.

When Si He arrived here, she was a little excited, so she took off her veil and shouted loudly: "Mo Mo!"

Ning Ji pulled the reins and drove the horse slowly into the valley, paying attention to the movements around him.

After a while, there was a rustling sound in the grass. It was not that the small animals and insects were scared away, but the movement was coming towards this side at an extremely fast speed. The two looked over at the same time and saw a big black snake rushing out from the grass!

This guy jumped up from the grass and climbed onto the horse's back in a flash, scaring the horse!

Ning Ji quickly calmed the horse, and it stopped being restless.

The big black snake was Mo Mo. After not seeing it for such a long time, it had grown a lot, from a small snake to a big snake. Its body was about two fingers wide and estimated to be one meter long. It was also heavier than before.

It crawled to Si He, wrapped its arms around her, and rubbed its head against the back of her hand like before, still looking very intimate.

But it was much larger now, and was particularly noticeable when wrapped around her hand. It couldn't be easily covered by her sleeve like before.

"Oh~ Momo has grown a lot. It seems that he eats well." Si He happily touched its body gently with her other hand. The dark scales were shiny and smooth.

It stuck out its tongue as if responding to her.

The smile on Si He's face deepened. She gently stroked its little head again, somewhat reluctant to let go. "Mo Mo is so good."

As she spoke, she turned around to face Ning Ji, and at the same time lifted Mo Mo in front of him, saying, "Husband, look, Mo Mo has grown a lot! I almost couldn't recognize her."

"Yeah." He responded and lowered his eyes to look at the black snake in front of him. He saw it turn its head towards him and stick out its tongue, as if saying hello.

There seemed to be a hint of intimacy in its cold eyes, and it was still a little silly as before.

Ning Ji's expression softened a little, but he still had no intention of touching it.

Si He then withdrew her hand and leaned back into Ning Ji's arms. She lowered her head and said to Mo Mo, "Be good, Mo Mo. We are here to take you away this time."

She stroked it and talked to it, and Ning Ji then drove the horse back to the valley.

The valley is dark, with occasional mountain breezes blowing, carrying a faint sense of evil. In the hot summer, it seems much more comfortable here and makes people feel very cool.

There are still many dry bones left in the grass. They are the people who died at that time, but they have been eaten by wild animals, insects and mosquitoes, leaving only skeletons.

After going deeper and deeper, we soon arrived at the sealed deep underground cave.

Ning Ji got off the horse and went forward to check. Everything was as before. He looked for a while before getting back on the horse with confidence and leaving the valley.

Si He also put on her veil again. The black ink was still wrapped around her arms, in circles, quite conspicuous. However, the scarf on her veil was very long, so it could barely cover it.

After finishing his business and leaving the valley, Ning Ji did not stay long. He rushed along the mountain path towards Tianshan Mountain.

After traveling for most of the day, we arrived at a small town near the Tianshan Mountains, Xiaohe City, which is only fifty miles away from the Tianshan Mountains.

She had some impression of this city, although she had never been there. But when she was fleeing from famine, she was almost here. However, considering that it was under the jurisdiction of Huixi County, she was afraid of being caught and taken back, so she did not plan to come. As a result, the search for medicine happened later.

The two did not rush into Tianshan again, but first entered the city and went to their new residence.

When in Lingcheng, Ning Ji bought a small house in Tianyuan Trading Company. This house was in Xiaohe City, close to the Tianshan Mountains. It was convenient and quick to enter the mountains, and it could also serve as a contact address with Tianyuan Trading Company and Liu Mao.

If there is any news about the Dragon Spirit Flower in the business, let Liu Mao come here to inform them. Ning Ji and Si He will come here to stay after a period of time.

There was no other way, they had to go into Tianshan again. This was considered a relatively reliable way of communication.

The two entered the city relatively smoothly because there were not many people left in the city. Many people were afraid that the war on the border would involve this side, so they moved to safer cities closer to the central region.

The soldiers guarding the city were very lax and let everyone pass without much inspection. That was why Ning Ji dared to bring Si He in so openly.
