Chapter 170 Night Walker
Chapter 170 Night Walker
In the past in the village, even when his grandfather and father were still alive, he rarely ate so much, and he ate even less meat and eggs.
Now I can eat well every meal. After all, Ning Ji has good cooking skills and the food he makes is delicious.
Although life might be a little unstable now and he didn't know what this new master was doing in the bandit's lair, he had already decided to follow him and it was too late to regret.
Moreover, even if he could really leave, where could he go? He wouldn't have enough to eat if he returned to the village. Rather than being hungry all the time, why not take some risks? Besides, the male master was very skilled and had even taken down the stronghold in this mountain village, so there would be no danger.
After dinner, Ning Ji told him to wash the dishes and go to bed early and not go out at night.
Wei Xiaohu was a little confused about this, but he could only agree.
The village was silent and dark at night.
Only the sparse moonlight added some light to the village, and the outline of the village could barely be seen.
Wei Xiaohu couldn't sleep yet, but he huddled in the house and didn't dare to go out, because this mountain village was quite strange and there was no sound at all. He had seen some people when he came to the village, but after noon, he hadn't seen anyone coming out of the backyard.
The man was busy in the backyard all afternoon, and no one knew what he was busy with.
Thinking back to what happened in the forest before, he felt a little scared and didn't dare to think too much about it. He could only lie on the bed, close his eyes, and try to fall asleep as early as possible. There are some things that he shouldn't know, and it's better not to know them.
In front of the mountain stronghold, Si He sat on a huge rock and watched Ning Ji go down the mountain without following him.
He had outstanding martial arts skills and his figure quickly disappeared into the night.
He wanted to bring back those people in the forest. After all, their situations were special and it was not convenient to bring them back during the day.
The early summer nights here are not hot, but rather cool. When the breeze blows, it is very comfortable. The air carries the scent of earth and grass, and the leaves in the surrounding forests are rustling.
Occasionally, one or two nocturnal birds fly over the treetops, chirping and breaking the silence of the night.
There are a lot of mosquitoes in this forest. Fortunately, she brought some small medicine bags with her. The faint smell of medicine drove away the mosquitoes around her.
As time goes by, the night deepens.
Si He waited for a long time before he heard some movement on the road in front of the village.
Ding~ Ding~
A faint bell rang out, the sound was crisp but long, and in this dark night, it seemed to carry a strange magic, which made people's hair stand on end.
At this moment, the moonlight was obscured by dark clouds, and the entire forest was plunged into darkness, but she could clearly see the situation on the road ahead. She couldn't help but widen her eyes, feeling it was incredible and weird.
Ning Ji had returned, and behind him was a group of people. They were all bandits from this mountain stronghold, the same group who had fainted in the forest before.
The current state of these people is very strange, as if they have lost their souls. When they walk, their movements are a little slow, their eyes are empty, and they do not have the spirit of normal people. They have become dull and lifeless.
They followed Ning Ji up the mountain in a daze. The scene looked very strange. At this moment, Ning Ji looked a bit like a corpse driver, as if he was leading these people away.
Si He stood up. Although Ning Ji had told her about this before, she was still surprised when she saw this scene with her own eyes.
At this time, the moon came out, and the moonlight illuminated the mountains and forests, but it added a bit of horror to the atmosphere.
At this time, Ning Ji stood on tiptoe, jumped up, and soon came to Si He's side.
As Ning Ji was getting closer, the people at the foot of the mountain suddenly stopped moving and stood still. But when Ning Ji rang the bell vigorously, they started walking up the mountain again.
"It's late, why haven't you gone back to sleep yet?" He turned to look at Si He and wanted to raise his hand to touch her head, but considering that his hands were a little dirty, he retracted his hand halfway.
"I couldn't sleep. I wanted to wait for you to come back." She said, then looked at the people slowly climbing up the mountain below, and swallowed hard. "Evil energy... can be used like this?"
"Well, are you afraid?"
She pursed her lips and said, "As long as you are here, I'm not afraid."
This scene was really scary. The talisman on her waist had started to shake, and as those people got closer, the talisman shook more violently.
Fortunately, these are still alive. If they were dead... she would be a little scared.
These people are filled with such strong evil spirits, no wonder Ning Ji brought them back at this time. If they were walking on the official road during the day, how could they not be discovered?
Ning Ji smiled at her and said, "Go back to your room and sleep first. I'll take care of these people and wash up before returning to my room."
"Well... okay, just be careful." Although these people were under his control, the evil spirit was too strong and she was afraid of accidents.
"Yeah." He responded.
At this moment, the people at the foot of the mountain were already very close and were almost reaching the entrance of the village.
Si He took a look, then turned and walked back into the village and returned to the house first.
Ning Ji looked at her back for a while before turning around, looking at the people outside the village, and shaking the bell in his hand vigorously again.
Ding~ding~
The faint ringing of bells made those people pause. As the frequency of the bells increased, their walking speed also increased.
After a while, the group walked into the village and, led by Ning Ji, headed towards the backyard.
Ding~ding~
In this quiet night, the sound of the bell could be heard far away throughout the village.
Wei Xiaohu, who had just fallen asleep, was awakened by the ringing sound. For some reason, he felt a little panicked and thought the ringing sound was creepy. At the same time, he felt that the temperature around him seemed to have dropped a little, which made his hair stand on end!
He knew this ringtone. He had heard it for a long time when he was on the road during the day. He felt that something was wrong at that time, and it was even more creepy when he heard it at night.
Why did the ringing suddenly happen in the middle of the night?
He swallowed and looked towards the window not far away, then he remembered that his master had told him not to go out at night.
So, what's happening now?
The ringing of the bell was getting closer and closer, accompanied by some messy footsteps, as if many people were passing by outside. Apart from that, there was no other sound.
But for some reason, when he looked out the window, his heart beat faster and faster, he became very panicked, and an inexplicable fear filled his heart, making him almost unable to breathe.
He subconsciously shrank back into the quilt, shivering. The feeling of fear made him realize that there was danger outside.
If he walked to the window and peeked at this moment, he would definitely see the people walking outside. When they passed by him, they would subconsciously turn their heads to look at him. Their eyes were filled with a faint gray-black air, and their expressions were empty and weird.
