Chapter 324 The illness comes like a mountain
Chapter 324 The illness comes like a mountain
Si He and Ning Ji started their journey to look for medicine again, traveling through the hinterland of Tianshan Mountains, but they walked slowly and cheerfully, as if they were just traveling together in the mountains and rivers. They were no longer as anxious as before, and just let everything go as it came, trying to make the time they had together better.
The happiest one among them is Momo. What he likes most is to play freely in the deep mountains and forests, rather than being restricted by the areas where people live.
Although it had natural enemies in the dangerous heart of the Tianshan Mountains, it was safe and sound under the protection of the two people.
This summer, although I still have nothing to gain, the time is good.
When autumn came, Ning Ji and Si He stayed in the heart of Tianshan for a while, until Mo Mo went into hibernation, and then they left Tianshan.
It was much safer for it to hibernate deep in the mountains than in the forests outside. Ning Ji and Si He also planned to travel to other places and would not stay in the small courtyard all the time, so they could no longer look after it and would have to wait until next year to pick it up.
After leaving the Tianshan Mountains, the weather has cooled down and it is very cold.
The two of them first returned to the small house by the forest and bought some clothes and luggage. Two days later, they set out again and traveled around the Beisha Kingdom for some sightseeing.
When we arrived in the big city, we stayed there longer.
At the same time, Ning Ji also began to study the longevity pill that Zang Nian had given him before. He didn't have the conditions in the mountains before, but now in the big city, there are many pharmacies and more complete utensils, which makes it more convenient for him to work.
When Ning Ji was working, Si He was by his side, helping him and learning pharmacology from him seriously.
After finishing his work, he would go to the major restaurants in the city to taste delicious food. His life was leisurely and fulfilling.
In the blink of an eye, winter has arrived.
The temperature kept dropping, and the chill was terrifying. Even in the bustling big cities, very few people went out during the day.
Ning Ji and Si He mostly stayed in warm inns. The best inns in the city were definitely warmer than ordinary people's houses. As long as you had money, you could have a fire.
It was actually Si He's idea to come to the city and stay in an inn. The weather was too cold, and if Ning Ji stayed in the house, he would have to work harder.
The two of them were not short of this little money, and the more comfortable they could live, the better. The inn was fully equipped with everything, and they could ask others to do the washing and boiling water for them.
Moreover, after the winter came, Si He discovered that Ning Ji's health had indeed deteriorated. That was the root cause of the disease left by the evil spirit that had invaded his body in the past. He had used many precious medicinal herbs to recuperate his body a little, but as he got older, the problems in his body would slowly show up.
This is considered a good result of recuperation, and his physical condition is also good. If it were an ordinary person, he might have died long ago.
He used to practice martial arts and exercise every day, and he had persisted for more than ten years. It was already quite good that he could persist until she woke up.
Sometimes, people can persist for a very long time based on the obsession in their hearts, but once they relax a little, their persistence will collapse quickly, and they will no longer be able to persist again.
Si He watched his health deteriorate day by day, and her heart was tormented, but she could do nothing. She could only try her best to smile at him, as if she didn't notice, and accompany him to live the present life.
This cold winter is really hard to endure.
Originally, the two of them wanted to go for a walk, but he was ill, so he had to stay in the city to recuperate.
When the cold winter faded and the warm spring returned, Ning Ji's health had deteriorated to an unbelievable degree. He had lost a lot of weight and even his walking was not as steady as before.
Illness is like a mountain falling on you. Si He now deeply understands this saying.
Even though Ning Ji was a skilled doctor, he couldn't delay the deterioration of the disease.
This is the terrifying thing about the evil energy. Once the root of the disease breaks out, the body will quickly collapse and many diseases will follow.
This is the result of clearing the evil spirit. Otherwise, if one becomes a body of evil spirit, the consequences will be even more serious.
On a cloudy day in spring, Ning Ji asked Si He to buy a carriage and hire a driver to go to the crematorium on the outskirts of the city.
There was no other way. Ning Ji could no longer ride a horse and could only take a carriage.
While he was still conscious, he wanted to try out the 'Bone Refining Soul Searching Technique'.
First go to the crematorium and train a few more corpses so that Si He can get familiar with the process in advance and practice her skills.
The carriage slowly headed towards the crematorium on the outskirts of the city. The coachman looked puzzled as he had never seen anyone going to that ghost place before. However, the salary was quite high, so he had no choice but to work hard without complaint.
There are few people coming to the crematorium on the outskirts of the city on weekdays, and those who come here usually come to transport corpses.
After a person dies, it is important to bury him/her in peace and with all his/her belongings intact, except when the cause of death is unusual.
Sometimes, there are people who died due to persecution by evil spirits, died suddenly, or whose bodies began to mutate, etc. They all need to be burned cleanly and reduced to ashes.
Therefore, this crematorium is generally deserted than the charity cemetery. At least there are new corpses brought into the charity cemetery every day, but there are not so many people coming to the crematorium. Sometimes there is only one corpse every few days.
When they arrived at the crematorium, Si He helped Ning Ji get off the carriage. Her originally fluctuating emotions had now calmed down, and her eyes were more focused on Ning Ji.
In the past, he always helped her get off the carriage, but now it was the other way around.
Ning Ji smiled at her soothingly. After a cold winter, his face looked much older and his hair was much whiter, like an old man.
Si He smiled back, her smile was bright, but tears inexplicably began to form in her eyes.
She quickly pretended to look away naturally, lowered her eyes, held Ning Ji's hand, and walked towards the crematorium.
The coachman stood beside the carriage, looking at the two men's backs curiously. He really didn't understand why these two people came to the crematorium?
The door of the crematorium was wide open, with a striking plaque hanging above the gate. It was deserted, with not a single person in sight.
Here, there is no need to worry about thieves coming, and others will try to take a detour when they get close.
When I walked into the crematorium, perhaps because of the terrain, the room was filled with a cold and gloomy atmosphere.
The two stopped at the door and saw a body lying on the plank bed in the middle of the lobby, but it was covered with a black cloth and nothing could be seen.
"Clang clang clang~"
Suddenly, some noises came from one side of the house. Someone was busy in the inner room.
"Xiao Ding, how many times have I told you that your painting is wrong? Why don't you remember? Also, go get some more cinnabar!"
An old man's voice sounded, as if scolding his apprentice.
"Okay! I'll go right away." A young man responded and immediately walked out of the house.
When the man walked to the lobby, he suddenly saw two people standing at the door. He stopped immediately and looked at the newcomers in surprise.
"You are?"
Because of the backlight, the faces were not clear, so he squinted his eyes and looked carefully: a little girl and an old man.
How bizarre! Someone is coming to this damn place? And they're not even corpse carriers!
