Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 266 New Shoes

The three of them took down the doors and windows of the house next door and built a small fire on the road. Firstly, it could add some light so that they would not be completely dark. If anything dangerous approached, they would be able to notice it at the first time. Secondly, they hoped that those who had lost their companions would come over after seeing the light. It is better for everyone to stay together than to be apart.

Looking at this silent ghost village, they felt heavy in their hearts and regretted coming here very much. They had never expected to encounter such a weird thing. At the same time, they were also very curious and confused. Whose work was this?

……

In the yard behind the village, Si He stood on the roof, looking at the people on the village walkway from afar.

The ghost wall in the village was indeed set up by the ghost thing in the bronze tripod. However, since most of the bronze tripod was sealed, the evil energy released was limited, so the ghost wall only covered this small village, but it was enough to trap the bandits.

Standing on the roof, she could see some of the situations in the village. It felt like she was standing outside a cage, watching the people in the cage spinning and struggling, but unable to get out of the cage.

Ning Ji said that they should trap these people first and let her practice later.

She also thought it was a good idea.

In the next yard, Liu Mao huddled in the house with mixed feelings. He had no appetite to prepare food, so he just ate some dry food he bought from the city. Occasionally, he would lie by the window, paying attention to what was happening outside.

On his way back, he also noticed a group of bandits following him. They were called the Cheetah Gang. He had seen them a few times before. After all, he used to do this kind of thing. However, he remembered them, but they might not remember him. He was just a small fry before.

He had some understanding of the Cheetah Gang. The gang members' skills were average, but they had a large number of people. The entire gang had hundreds of people in total, and the group of people who followed him today was just a small team.

Moreover, the Cheetah Gang members hold grudges very well. If they beat one, they will seduce the whole gang. If they take care of this group today, they might attract the entire Cheetah Gang tomorrow!

He told Ning Ji the information about this group of people. He didn't want to get into trouble and lose his life, but Ning Ji didn't say anything. He just asked him to stay in the yard and not go out.

Hearing Ning Ji say this, he knew that the group was going to be dealt with, and he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy. But for some reason, as soon as he entered the yard, he felt a strange and cold aura spreading out instantly, which made him feel creepy. He was so scared that he quickly ran back into the house to hide, watching the movement outside through the gap in the window.

But apart from this cold and gloomy air, there was no movement at all. The village was too quiet, without a sound at all, as if the Cheetah Gang members were not chasing them.

The only noise was some sounds coming from the yard next door, which were just ordinary conversations, cooking, and washing vegetables. It seemed that there was no reaction at all to the people chasing them.

But as for the person chasing him, he waited for a long time but didn't see even a ghost, which was very strange.

Liu Mao felt the chill in the air and shuddered subconsciously. He couldn't help but wonder if the evil creature they raised had taken care of those people?

Only in this way can the current situation be explained.

So he glanced at the situation outside from time to time, feeling very complicated.

When it was completely dark, Ning Ji brought out the prepared food. Seeing this, Si He jumped off the roof.

"Wash your hands, it's time for dinner." Ning Ji placed the food on the table in the yard and said to her with a faint smile.

Si He responded: "Okay."

After washing their hands, the two sat opposite each other on the table. The flickering candlelight on the table cast their shadows on the ground, weaving a harmonious picture.

The warmth here is completely different from the group of people in the village who are shrouded in a maze of ghosts.

The night breeze was blowing gently. When Liu Mao in the next yard poked his head out to look at what was happening outside, he smelled the fragrant aroma of dishes and couldn't help swallowing. It was really torture.

After dinner, the two did not go to deal with the group of people immediately. It was still early and there was no rush to take action later.

Back in the house, Ning Ji let her try on the new shoes he had bought during the day. Her shoes were stained with blood when she entered the tomb before, and it was difficult to clean them, so she didn't want them anymore. So this time when he went to the city, he bought two more pairs for her.

Si He saw the two pairs of beautiful new shoes that Ning Ji took out, and her eyes were filled with joy. "They look great, I like them very much. Thank you, my husband."

Ning Ji's lips curved up, "As long as you like it."

Si He looked at the new shoes again. The upper of the shoes was made of high-quality satin, which was smooth to the touch and had a light color. It was embroidered with simple patterns and inlaid with some small jewels. It was luxurious and elegant, not tacky at all.

Girls all like beautiful things, and she is no exception. Of course, the most important thing is the thought. She is still very happy when she occasionally receives some unexpected small gifts.

Ning Ji was very happy to see that she liked it. He thought to himself that next time he went to the city, he would buy her some other nice little things.

Si He tried them on immediately and they fit her feet perfectly and were very comfortable. She really liked them the more she looked at them. However, she thought about going out for practice and it would be inappropriate to wear these new shoes in case they got dirty.

She tried both pairs of shoes and then changed back to her original shoes. Ning Ji didn't say anything and just let her do as she pleased.

The two sat in the room for a while, talking, and when they had almost digested their food, they went out.

Ning Ji held her hand, walked out of the yard without a torch, and entered the dark path.

Liu Mao in the next yard heard the sound and hurried out of the house. He stood on tiptoe to look around, but only saw the backs of the two people leaving the house, but they soon disappeared into the darkness.

He opened his eyes wide and listened attentively, but there was no sound at all, which made him feel a little itchy, but he did not dare to go out because he was afraid of the "ghost things" in the dark.

The village was silent, but the moment the two walked out of the gate, they felt a different strange feeling, as if they had stepped into a ghost wall.

After subduing the ghost in the bronze tripod, the ghost wall no longer posed any obstacle to the two of them and they could come and go freely. However, they could still feel the special situation of the ghost wall, and this feeling made Si He feel very novel.

The two had not walked far when they heard movement up ahead. It was the horse's rapid breathing, with occasional noises coming from its nostrils. Its hooves were gently paddling the ground, and its tail was lashing anxiously, making a 'pa pa' sound. Just by listening to the sound, one could sense its uneasiness and fear.

After turning the corner, they saw a fire burning on the road not far away. There was a man and a horse beside it, but the horse was tall and blocked their view. Ning Ji and Si He both walked lightly, so the man had not noticed the two people at the corner.

One person, just right.
