Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 126 Hunting

In the attacked guest room, the sounds of sword clashing, shouting, and screaming were intertwined and endless, and the room was plunged into chaos and blood.

Some of the guest rooms that were not attacked by the bandits were afraid and angry, but at most they would just open the door a little and watch the chaos outside. No one would easily intervene.

Seeing injustice, people would draw their swords to help. Such things are rare to see here.

Such black shops are very common in this northwest area. They all have their own rules of survival. Those who can stay in these shops are either hunters, or bandits. Multiple people and multiple forces can participate, and the captured items are divided according to the rules.

Or you are a prey, once you enter the store you are in a cage and are identified as the target of hunting.

Or, they may be bystanders who do not participate. This type of people often have a strong background or are powerful.

Anyone who breaks the rules and causes trouble will easily be targeted by the gangsters in the area and get into trouble, unless they don't want to stay in this area anymore.

There were cases where people who had fled had reported the incident to the authorities, but the perpetrators were always gangsters, not the shop owners, so they couldn't be accused of being a black market. The gangsters killed people, stole the property, and then fled, so the authorities could only issue wanted notices. However, there were so many wanted gangsters in this area, and many of them would rob one place and then move on, making them difficult to catch.

After a while, the sounds of killing subsided, and the atmosphere was filled with a thick smell of blood. There were many corpses lying in the corridor, and the attacked guest rooms were in a mess.

In the guest rooms designated as prey, all the men were killed, leaving only the women alive, but being caught by these people was worse than being dead.

Ning Ji closed the window, walked back to the bed, lay down, hugged Si He in his arms, closed his eyes and rested.

After a night, the weather cooled down again.

In the early morning, the cold wind was howling outside, and the chill was biting.

When Si He woke up, Ning Ji had already gotten up early and was not in the room.

She wrapped herself in a quilt and sat on the bed, trying to wake up. She slept very well last night, without any dreams and without waking up.

This is fine, but she always feels that something is not right?

Is she less alert? Or was she just too tired yesterday?

She sat for a while and was about to get out of bed and get dressed when Ning Ji came back.

"Are you up?" He was carrying a large bag in his hand. After closing the door, he walked towards her.

"Yeah." She responded, her eyes looking at the large bundle in his hand, "What is this?"

"You can make do with the clothes I bought from the merchant for now."

The weather was much colder today, and they didn't bring any thick clothes, so they had to buy some on the spur of the moment.

"Oh." She got up from the bed and left the warm quilt. She suddenly felt very cold. The temperature had dropped a lot.

Ning Ji took out clothes and put them on her one by one. She wore them very thickly and she felt like she was wrapped up like a dumpling, but it was indeed much warmer.

The newly bought clothes are very exquisite, with a circle of soft rabbit fur sewn on the edges. The shoes and socks are also new, the materials are very good, the styles are very beautiful, and they are thick.

"It looks good." Girls all like beautiful clothes, and she is no exception. But she has been on the run these days, so how can she be so picky?

Seeing that she liked it, the corners of his mouth rose a little, "When we get to Beisha Country, I'll buy you some nice clothes."

"Okay." Her eyes were shining with a smile.

The clothes were nice and she looked even better, but without the jewellery to embellish her appearance, her hair was still simply tied with a headband, and she didn't even have the ordinary jewellery that a normal girl would wear.

Ning Ji pursed his lips, feeling a little distressed and guilty, but ultimately said nothing.

After she put on her clothes, Ning Ji asked the waiter to bring her hot water and breakfast.

After Si He finished washing up and having breakfast, she found that the inn was quite quiet. She looked out the window and saw that it was still early, so perhaps no one in the inn had gotten up yet.

The weather is gloomy today. The sky is covered with thick gray clouds, which completely block out the sunlight and make people feel a little depressed and dull.

Moreover, the cold wind was howling, bringing a biting chill.

But no matter what the weather is like, you have to leave here as soon as possible.

After breakfast, Ning Ji put a wide cloak on her and put on her hat to cover her tightly. Then he picked up the bag and took her downstairs.

As soon as she walked out of the room, Si He's eyes narrowed, and she glanced at the corridor as she followed Ning Ji downstairs.

Although the ground had been cleaned, she could still vaguely smell a faint smell of blood. There were some obvious knife marks on the pillar not far away. If you look closely, you can see dark red bloodstains on the knife marks.

So, did something really happen last night?

She glanced at the guest rooms at the end of the corridor. The doors were closed and very quiet.

She withdrew her gaze, turned her head, and went downstairs silently.

There was a group of people sitting in the lobby on the first floor. They seemed to be the merchants Ning Ji mentioned. She bought her new clothes from them.

Si He took a look and found that these merchants were followed by a group of guards. They were all tall and strong, looked very brave and powerful.

The merchants were waiting for the servants to load the goods onto the trucks and to pack up before leaving.

As she looked at them, they were also looking at her, with different expressions, some were inquiring, some were curious, some were contemptuous, and so on.

"Brother Ning, why don't you stay for two more days? The weather is not very good today." The proprietress of the inn also got up early. She was using an abacus and calculating the bills at the counter early in the morning. She looked very busy. When she saw the two were about to leave, she looked up and said with a smile.

"Ning, I won't bother you any more. Goodbye."

Ning Ji didn't say much. He nodded to the proprietress and took Si He out.

Si He lowered her head and followed Ning Ji out. At this moment, she could feel the burning gaze behind her without even looking. Inexplicably, she felt like a wolf was staring at the sheep leaving.

The waiter came over early with the horse and handed it to Ning Ji.

Outside the inn, there was a group of servants busy loading goods and coming in and out. Apart from them, there was no one else to be seen.

When Ning Ji hung the bag on the horse's back, Si He turned his head to look at the stable not far away. Most of the horses there were gone. It turned out that someone had left earlier?

"Let's go." Ning Ji turned to look at her and extended his hand to her.

Si He turned her head, answered, then took his hand and mounted the horse.

Ning Ji waited until she was seated before he mounted his horse and rode away.

The people in the inn looked at the two people leaving with a slightly darker look in their eyes.

Ning Ji walked all the way north, still taking a remote path. However, in this remote place, there were still many pedestrians on the road.

Most people obviously have reasons to not take the official road but the small road.

The wind was very strong at this moment. Ning Ji was riding her horse at full speed. The biting cold wind felt like a knife scraping against her skin, and it also made it difficult for her to open her eyes. Helplessly, she could only pull her hat lower to provide more coverage.
