Chapter 156 Leaving the City
Chapter 156 Leaving the City
After that, Si He and Ning Ji rarely went out, as they didn't want to get involved in the gossip outside.
It was not until more than ten days later, at the end of the year, when the two went to a restaurant outside to eat, that they learned that everyone in the Huang family had died.
This was a big deal, after all, so many Taoists failed to save it, but fortunately, it was said that the evil spirit that harmed people was finally eliminated.
However, the entire Huang family lost their lives.
It has been several days since the Huang family was exterminated, but people in the city are still discussing it after dinner, which is really sad.
Although Si He had expected such an outcome in the Huang Mansion, she was still a little surprised. She didn't expect those people to be so ruthless and not leave a single person alive!
I don’t know whether Mrs. Huang escaped or not. If she died, she probably wouldn’t know that she died as a result of someone’s scheme. There are too many dangerous people in this world.
But the cause of this incident was instigated by an inconspicuous mistress. If Huang Dashan had not bought that woman back, the subsequent events would not have happened.
Now the official notice has been issued, saying only that the Huang family had committed sins and attracted evil spirits, which led to the tragic destruction of the family. The property and assets of the family were confiscated to support the war on the front line.
Some of the Huang family's side branches' ideas of taking over the Huang family's property were dashed. All that was left was a mansion where dozens of people had died, and they didn't dare to live in it.
Now the Huang Mansion has become a notorious haunted house in the city. Although the evil spirits there have been eliminated, many residents on that street have moved away.
After the matter of the Huang Mansion came to an end, those Taoists also left Moro City and their whereabouts were unknown. When they left the city, many people saw them.
Si He didn't know what the ultimate purpose of these Taoists and government officials was, but since then, no strange things have happened in the city.
As winter goes and spring comes, the ice and snow melt and all things come back to life.
The war on the border between Beisha Kingdom and Dayan Kingdom is still fierce. Si He originally planned to pick up Mo Mo after the spring, but now the war is at a stalemate, this matter can only be postponed.
The days passed peacefully until the arrival of early summer. The relationship between the two countries was still quite tense. Although there was a temporary truce, it was impossible for the two countries to travel between them in the short term.
The two of them had never left the city in the past few months, so Ning Ji planned to take her out for a walk. Now that the weather was not yet hot, it would be nice to go out.
Moreover, the medicine he was researching required people to test it, and some things were indeed not very convenient to do in the city.
Of course, this trip has another purpose, which is to see where the witch tribe exists and broaden her horizons.
The two men packed their bags, took their valuables, and rode in a carriage out of the city.
"Husband, I don't know if it's easy to find someone in the Ulan tribe."
After leaving the city, Si He leaned against the car window, looking at the scenery along the way leisurely and chatting with Ning Ji.
The suburbs in early summer are filled with green and full of vitality.
The Ulan tribe is located in a remote mountain forest. It is said that there are people of the Wu tribe there. It is some distance away from Moro City.
"Let it be." He sat in front of the carriage, spurring the horse and said to her with a smile.
"Yeah." She also responded with a smile.
Along the way, the carriage moved slowly. After all, we were not in a hurry and there was no need to rush.
Occasionally, some pedestrians or caravans would be encountered on the official road. Now that trade with the Great Yan Kingdom had been cut off, the trade between the surrounding cities had become closer than before. After all, when goods could not be exported, they could only be sold domestically.
At noon, they met a caravan they had encountered before, the Beilian Caravan.
I didn't expect that we were destined to meet.
This caravan was still as imposing as before. Every guard carried a knife or a saber, and their eyes were sharp, always alert to the movements around them.
Although this caravan was transporting a lot of goods, ordinary thieves would not dare to target them given their powerful lineup.
The leader was still the elegant young man, Helian Jie.
The two parties met and traveled together. They also recognized Ning Ji and Si He. After all, what happened in that black shop before was quite impressive.
But even though they recognized each other, neither side paid any attention to each other and went their separate ways. The caravan walked in front, and Ning Ji drove the carriage behind.
Since the caravan was transporting heavy goods, its speed was not fast, so Ning Ji could only follow it from a distance and drive slowly. Fortunately, they were not in a hurry.
The people in the caravan did occasionally glance back. After all, there were people following them, so they had to be careful. They had seen many people whose boats capsized in the ditch. Fewer people did not necessarily mean no danger, especially when the two of them had extraordinary abilities.
It was not until evening that we passed through a small town. It was already late and it was not suitable to continue our journey, so we could only rest in the town.
There are several inns at the entrance of the town, so accommodation is not a problem.
The people from the Beilian caravan chose the largest inn. They had been to that inn many times and were considered regular customers.
Ning Ji chose another inn across the street. This inn was slightly smaller, but it was quieter. There were many people in the caravan, so it would be a bit noisy.
Si He got off the carriage and looked around. The small town was located at the foot of a mountain range and was a very remote place.
At this time, the waiter came over to greet them and led the carriage to the side and parked it.
However, when she looked at the inn, her eyes paused. There was a piece of talisman paper pasted under the plaque on the door of the inn. The talisman paper was mostly blocked by the plaque. If you didn't look closely, it was not very obvious. It turned out that this was not too strange. In this area, some merchants or residents also had the habit of pasting talisman paper on their doors.
However, when she looked carefully, she realized that this was the talisman paper she had drawn when she was practicing before!
No wonder she felt a little familiar just now!
This is the talisman paper that Ning Ji sold to Madam Huang!
How did the talisman paper appear here?
She looked at Ning Ji with doubt in her heart, only to see him smile at her lightly, "Let's go."
Could it be that he decided to stay in this inn because he saw this?
"Yeah." She responded and walked into the inn with Ning Ji.
Because this place is remote and the town has a small population, there are not many guests in this inn, and it basically only receives guests passing by.
There were no guests in the lobby of the inn. The owner was busy checking the accounts at the counter. Only the waiter was serving guests warmly.
The two of them asked for a room upstairs, and the waiter immediately led the way. "Would you two guests like to eat something?"
The waiter asked as they walked.
As for food, there was some dry food bought on the road in the bag, and one had to be careful when eating outside, so he didn't order any food from the inn, but just asked him to bring up some hot water later.
Ever since seeing the talisman paper outside the inn, Si He looked around the inn carefully after entering.
