Chapter 160: Resting in the Village

Ning Ji said calmly, "Check out."

The waiter nodded quickly and returned the deposit.

After checking out of the hotel and leaving the inn, the waiter hurried to the backyard to discuss leaving with the shopkeeper. They also knew about the incident at the Huang Mansion before. After all, the eldest daughter of the Qian family, who was also the second wife of the Huang family, had lived in the inn for a while when she just came back. Because the Qian family had some concerns about these things at that time, they let her live in the inn under their own name first.

She stayed there for several months. People thought nothing would happen again, so the Qian family took her back. However, she didn't expect that something bad would happen not long after she returned to the Qian family.

At first, only a few maids around her died one after another, and the Qian family also invited a Taoist priest to come and handle the matter in a low-key manner. However, the matter got out of control, and people in the Qian family also started to die!

Everyone in the Qian family was terrified, but under the Taoist's instructions, they suppressed these matters. However, just a few days ago, Mrs. Huang also died. The cause of death was unusual. The Taoists performed rituals for several days in a row and only arranged the funeral last night.

As a result, something went wrong and a group of people in the funeral procession died!

The shopkeeper was a servant who ran the inn for the Qian family, so naturally he had ways to find out the specific situation of the Qian family. So after these incidents happened one after another, even though they did not live in the Qian family, they were also panicked and did not dare to stay here any longer.

You know, the Huang family was completely wiped out, and the eldest daughter of the Qian family fled back to her parents' home but still got into trouble. The Qian family will definitely become the next Huang family!

Therefore, the shopkeeper discussed with the shop assistants and decided to escape from here. They were the Qian family's servants. If they were caught while escaping, they would be severely punished. Even if they succeeded in escaping, they could only live a low-key life in hiding, but this was better than losing their lives.

Because if you are targeted by that evil spirit, your entire family will be wiped out!

The inn is right at the entrance of the town, too close to the Huang family. Who knows if the evil spirit will harm the Qian family's servants?

What if the Qian family transferred them back to do some work, would they go or not?

After all, so many people died last night, the Qian family must be short of manpower!

So, run away quickly!

Not long after Si He and Ning Ji left, the waiter in the inn followed the innkeeper's instructions and closed the inn.

In fact, when the shopkeeper learned about the incident this morning, he began to instruct the waiters not to accommodate guests staying in the hotel. So after the guests in the inn checked out and left, they also picked up their bags and left in a hurry.

The carriage moved slowly on the official road.

Si He leaned against the car window, quietly looking at the scenery along the way. After all, she was affected by the things happening in the town, and her mood was a little heavy, a bit like the weather at this moment.

The weather today is not very good, a bit gloomy, not as sunny as yesterday. Judging from the weather, it may rain later.

"My dear, are there many Taoists who act uprightly these days?"

To be honest, she hasn't encountered any good immortal sects in all these years. In the Great Yan Kingdom and in the Beisha Kingdom, most of the people she has seen are those with ulterior motives and the evil of human nature.

Ning Ji said as he rode his horse, "Many people appear to be decent on the surface, but driven by profit, they will more or less do things that go against their conscience. Simply decent and good people won't survive long in this world, unless they have a strong background and are highly capable."

Si He understood. It was true. In this world, people are all evil. It is possible to be a simple and decent good person, but if you rashly touch the interests of others, you will only become the target of public criticism.

There are some things that you can clearly see and know, but are difficult to solve and intervene in unless you are prepared to face a tough enemy.

Perhaps, there are some people who have noticed the clues of these things, but as long as their own interests are not infringed, they will not intervene rashly, but just pretend not to know and stay away from them.

Si He naturally wouldn't let Ning Ji interfere, and she knew that she had to do things within her ability. She just felt a little emotional when she saw these things.

Rumble~

Suddenly, a muffled thunder sounded in the sky, which scared Si He. She looked up and found that the sky was a little darker than before.

This is really not good weather.

Ning Ji increased the speed of the carriage and galloped all the way.

Fortunately, there was only thunder and no rain that day, but it is hard to say what the weather will be like later.

There were also pedestrians hurrying along the official road, walking very fast for fear that it would rain.

After driving for a while, we passed a small village.

Si He asked Ning Ji to rest in the village for a while because she was afraid it would rain.

Ning Ji slowed down and let the carriage turn into the village from the small road.

Nearing the village, Ning Ji chose a relatively spacious place near the village entrance, stopped the carriage, and looked around.

This is a small village with no inn, so we can only borrow other people's houses to rest temporarily.

"He He, I'll go down and take a look first."

"Okay." She sat obediently in the carriage, lifting only a corner of the curtain and looking at the small village.

This village is not big and has a small population.

After the carriage stopped, a little boy walked out of a house not far ahead. The house was very simple and the wall was very low, so one could see what was inside the wall at a glance.

Ning Ji walked towards the courtyard, stood in front of the low wall and negotiated with the little boy.

The little boy was young and very thin, looking about eight or nine years old, but very alert.

Si He saw that just as Ning Ji finished speaking, some villagers came over from a distance and asked about the situation.

Now, it was about to rain, so it was normal to take a break. After listening to this, they looked at the carriage. Only when Ning Ji said that his wife was inside did they let down their guard.

The little boy also agreed to let the two of them go into the house to rest. He was the only one in the house, so it was not inconvenient at all, except that the house was a bit simple.

Rumble~

There was another loud thunder and the sky became increasingly darker.

But the villagers still did not leave immediately. They all watched from the side until Si He got off the carriage.

They didn't leave immediately, mainly because they wanted to see where the two men came from. After all, when strangers came to the village, they would always be a little cautious.

Si He's face was wrapped in a cloth, revealing only a pair of beautiful big eyes, but from her figure and facial features, it can be seen that she is a beauty. Of course, what is more eye-catching is the exquisite hairpin on her head and the beautiful clothes she wears. From this, it can be seen that the two of them are rich, and very rich!

People in remote villages are different from those in towns. Women and girls in the villages rarely wear jewelry. At most, they wear an ordinary hairpin, which is not worth much. They can forget about wearing beautiful clothes and can only wear coarse linen clothes.

Life in the small village is already difficult. We can only maintain daily expenses. How can we have the spare money to buy these expensive things?

What's more, the government recently conscripted men to serve in the military, and those who refused to serve would be fined. This has made these poor families very miserable. If there is no man in the family, the main source of income will be gone, so many people have to sell their belongings or borrow money to pay the fines, making their lives even more difficult.
