Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 193: Strange Things in the Backyard

However, compared to fear, she felt more of a heaviness in her heart. After all, these ghosts were once residents of the town, and they died tragically and innocently.

Alas~ She sighed silently in her heart.

Perhaps sensing her strange emotions, thinking she was worried and afraid, Ning Ji reached out and embraced her, holding her in his arms. He gently stroked her back and said, "Don't worry, those things can't get in."

His voice was soothing.

Si He looked up at him, her chin resting on his chest. He lowered his head, and she met his gentle and serious eyes.

He is always like this, considerate and gentle in everything.

Under his comfort, the heaviness in her heart slowly dissipated, and her fear disappeared. He always soothed her emotions so easily. Although he didn't say much and misinterpreted her meaning a little, his soothing eyes and gentle gestures made her heart feel much happier.

The corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she responded, "Yeah."

He leaned over and kissed her lightly at the corner of her mouth, "Are you hungry?"

"hungry."

The two men sat on the bench and ate the dry food in their bags.

Although the dry food left in the bag is only enough for two meals tomorrow, there is still food in some houses in the town, so there is no need to worry about starving to death even if you are trapped for a few days. As long as you dare to go out to find food, you can find it.

"Ah~"

At this moment, an unbearable scream of pain came from the lobby outside the curtain. This was the man who was accidentally injured when dealing with the evil spirit outside just now. Others were treating his injuries at this time.

The situation outside was dangerous just now. Some people were injured to varying degrees.

Although no one died, the current situation frightened most people in the shop, especially the young men and women who had little experience with such things.

Now, they are like frightened birds, afraid that "something" from outside will break in.

Even the Taoists looked very solemn at this moment.

In contrast, in the reception room separated by a curtain, Ning Ji and Si He were much more indifferent about it.

The room was dimly lit by candlelight, yet inexplicably exuded a faint warmth. The two sat side by side on a bench, eating and talking in low voices. It seemed as if this place was isolated from the noise and chaos outside, and there was no tense atmosphere at all.

The town was shrouded in darkness at night. The dark clouds dispersed a little, revealing a bright moon like a round disk.

The moonlight was like water, and the small town under the moonlight was dyed with a layer of light silver gauze, which dispelled the darkness and illuminated the streets a little.

The gray fog on the streets has also become much lighter. It is no longer as foggy as it was during the day, and the vision is much clearer now.

People in the shop occasionally went to the doors and windows, paying close attention to what was happening outside.

The streets outside were silent, with only the night wind blowing, but they all knew that in the dark corners, there were many invisible "things" watching their every move, they were just waiting for the right time to reveal their hideous faces. Danger was everywhere, and the quieter it was, the more dangerous it was.

After Si He ate some dry food and filled her stomach, she wanted to go to the toilet. The toilet was in the backyard and very close, so Ning Ji took the candlestick and accompanied her.

As soon as the two men walked out of the reception room, everyone in the shop looked over at them with different expressions, some were angry, some were vigilant, some were afraid, and some were curious.

But the two of them just glanced at each other indifferently and walked towards the backyard with a calm attitude, as if they were going to their own yard.

During the day, they also went to the backyard to check the situation. In addition to two storage rooms, there was also a toilet. Seeing the two people going to the backyard, they roughly guessed what they were going to do.

At this moment, some people were also very anxious, but they were frightened by the situation outside before, and now it was night, so they had been enduring it, not daring to walk around, and also reduced the frequency of drinking water.

Even though it was just a backyard separated by a wall, they were too cautious to walk around.

Those Taoists were fine, as they had some defensive items on them and some talismans pasted on the high wall in the backyard, which could block most of the evil spirits. As long as they were not surrounded by evil spirits like before, they would not be afraid to go to the toilet in the backyard.

But it was different for those young men and women who were weaker in strength. They had been thinking of calling a few Taoists to go together. Now, seeing the two of them walking towards the backyard, they whispered to each other, and then followed them to the backyard, following closely behind.

The backyard was not very big to begin with, and it seemed even narrower after the group arrived. Everyone stared around vigilantly, fearing that the "things" outside would come in through the wall.

Ning Ji was holding a candlestick and standing not far from the toilet, watching over the group of people in the yard with indifferent eyes.

The yard was very quiet. They were panicked and did not dare to speak loudly. They were ready to go back to the shop at any time. Fortunately, there was no danger in the yard for the time being.

After a while, Si He came out of the thatched hut and saw a group of people standing in the yard. They were the young men and women and their guards.

After she came out, they all immediately went to the toilet, lined up in turn, and stared at their surroundings nervously.

Si He said nothing, walked to a bucket not far away, scooped out a spoonful of water and washed her hands. Because it had rained heavily before, the buckets in the yard were full of water.

However, just as she washed her hands, a strange laugh suddenly came from outside the courtyard wall. The sound was "chuckle", and it was very close, as if it was right next to the wall and would pass through the wall at any time, which made people feel creepy.

As the laughter rang out, the temperature around seemed to become colder, and unspeakable fear suddenly spread in everyone's heart. Several girls were so scared that they fell to the ground, trembling all over. Some people even screamed in fear and ran back to the shop in a panic. The people in the toilet were so scared that they ran out with their pants held up, in a panic.

Si He frowned slightly and looked warily at the wall where the laughter came from. Faintly, she seemed to see a blurry head emerging from the top of the wall.

Ning Ji placed the candlestick in his hand on a shelf beside him, then stood on tiptoe, jumped over the high wall, and walked out of the yard.

Everyone in the yard looked at it in panic, and the next moment, they heard a terrible scream coming from outside the yard.

"what!!!"

The ghost's cry was shrill and piercing, breaking the silence of the night, making people's heart beat faster and cold sweats break out.

However, the horrible screams soon stopped.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the ghost thing should have been dealt with, but the next moment, two ghost cries with different tones were heard outside, obviously there were other ghost things!

"Woo~"

"Ho ho~"

Neither of these two sounds was very loud, but they were more terrifying and heart-wrenching than the previous ones.
