Chapter 109 The lingering ghost
"Okay." She responded and walked with him towards the horse. "Cousin, what medicine did you give him just now?"
He said, "It will be beneficial to his injuries and to recuperate his body."
"Oh."
After leaving the valley, Ning Ji did not ride his horse to gallop, but took her to walk slowly on the mountain path, picking some wild fruits in the forest along the way.
This season is when there are the most wild fruits. When winter comes in a few days, there will not be so much food in the mountains.
Moreover, few people have set foot in the nearby mountains and forests, and most of the wild fruits on the branches are eaten by birds or small animals, but there are still many left. The two of them picked a bag of fruits in a short time.
These were picked by Si He, who only wanted fruits that were beautiful, sweet and juicy.
I had a good harvest today and returned home with a full load.
Si He was in a very good mood, but this good mood soon dissipated after entering the village.
Wujia Village, usually almost no one would set foot here, but today it is quite lively.
At the entrance of the village, a group of people came and looked like they had just arrived.
They were the people from Baishi Sect and Taiyi Sect, followed by Zhao Mie’s gang of bandits. Unexpectedly, they also came out of the mountains and came to this deserted village!
Is this a coincidence? Or is it intentional?
It's really haunting!
Ning Ji and Si He saw their figures from afar, but did not retreat or avoid them. They walked into the village openly.
They watched Ning Ji and Si He riding into the village, everyone's expressions changed and they were on guard.
"Brother Ning! Why are you here?"
Zhao Mie, on the other hand, had a look of surprise and astonishment on his face, and walked towards them enthusiastically.
The bandits behind him also took a few steps forward, while Wei Hu stared at the two of them deeply.
Ning Ji did not quarrel with him. He nodded at him as usual, and said, "Master Zhao."
Ning Ji didn't answer his question, so he laughed heartily, "With Brother Ning's skills, it would be easy for him to escape the pursuit of the government. We are really destined to be together."
As Zhao Mie finished speaking, Wei Hu behind him suddenly said, "Brother Ning, have you settled in this deserted village before?"
His tone was aggressive and interrogative, and his expression was very bad.
Zhao Mie saw it but said nothing. He also looked at Ning Ji with inquiry.
Ning Ji sat on the horse and looked at Wei Hu indifferently, "Are you interrogating me?"
His voice was also calm, but it contained a faint hint of murderous intent.
The next moment, Mo Mo, who was sitting on the saddle, suddenly bent his body, raised his head and neighed at the person in front of him, looking quite ferocious.
hiss!
Animals are more sensitive to danger or murderous intent than humans, so when it first sensed Ning Ji's murderous intent, it became alert and united against the outside world.
When it cried, Zhao Mie and Wei Hu took a look at it and saw that it was just a small black snake.
But at this moment, except for the unsuspecting bandits, the people from Taiyi Sect and Baishi Sect not far away had witnessed its power, and they all subconsciously moved away a little and were on full alert.
Although there is only one snake now, who knows if many snakes will suddenly appear in the forest?
Zhao Mie and the others also noticed the strangeness of the people around them at this time. They were puzzled and simply attributed it to their fear of Ning Ji.
Despite this, Wei Hu still asked: "Did you kill my brother Wei Bao? Or rather, did you kill him?"
He pointed at Si He with a fierce look.
Si He, like Ning Ji, looked at him indifferently and said, "Do you have any evidence? Don't accuse me without it."
Seeing that they were all injured and in a miserable state, they would never take action rashly. They were just talking and testing.
And judging from Wei Hu's confident tone, someone must have said something to them!
She was definitely not discovered that night and didn't reveal any flaws. How could they be so sure that she did it?
Si He turned his gaze to the Taiyi Sect disciples not far away. When he saw Guo Yi, he roughly guessed that these people must have been instigating trouble.
When she killed Sun Qiquan before, Guo Yi had checked in the inn. The causes of death of the two were similar, so it was not surprising that he suspected her.
Sure enough, Wei Hu said again: "Humph! Evidence, my brother committed suicide after being possessed by an evil spirit. I heard that you also killed someone, and the cause of death was the same as my brother's!"
"Heard? Who told you that?"
Wei Hu pointed at Guo Yi, "Him!"
Guo Yi's arm was broken, and the injury hadn't healed yet, so he looked very unsightly. He remained calm in the face of Wei Hu's accusation, only looking deeply at Ning Ji and Si He, "Sun Qiquan, you killed him, didn't you?"
He wasn't sure if it was Ning Ji's trick or Si He's, but Sun Qiquan's death was definitely related to both of them. He didn't ask about Wei Bao's death, only about Sun Qiquan.
"Why, are you still helping the government investigate the case?" Si He didn't answer his question, but instead hit their sore spot. "Didn't they say the government arrested all the people from your Taiyi Sect? I heard that the disciples who were imprisoned all turned into murderous corpses. I don't know if it's true. Now instead of trying to save people, you're slandering them. You're meddling in other people's business."
Guo Yi's face turned even paler after hearing what she said.
Xie Meng sternly said, "You're talking nonsense! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll skin you alive!"
Ning Ji looked at it coldly, "It seems that the previous lesson was not enough."
Xie Meng was furious, "How dare you!"
Liu Xi and others immediately drew their swords and prepared for battle.
Just as a fight was about to break out, He Biao of the Baishi Sect stepped in to mediate. "Everyone, please stop arguing. We're all wanted by the government right now. If we make a big fuss, it won't be good for anyone! Whatever grudges you have, please let them go. Otherwise, everyone, flee!"
Hearing this, the people of Taiyi Sect suppressed their anger, but they all stared at Ning Ji and Si He with resentment, except for the unconscious Xie Ying and Chen Jing with a complicated expression.
Wei Hu had to suppress his anger. He knew the seriousness of the matter. The people on his side were all injured, and the injuries varied in severity. It would be no good to act rashly. He just couldn't help but question them just now and didn't think of taking action.
"Brother Ning, what are your plans for the future?" Zhao Mie spoke again, without asking about what happened just now.
Ning Ji looked at him and said nothing.
Zhao Mie chuckled and waved his hand. His men pulled Si Rong, who was hiding behind him, out. He said with a smile, "We rescued this woman from the officials. She is said to be my brother's sister-in-law."
He looked at Si He meaningfully.
Si Rong was a little panicked and scared, but when she looked at Si He, she felt a little jealous and resentful.
Why did she have to end up like this? !
Why are they both fleeing for their lives? Si He has someone to protect her, but she is like a lamb to be slaughtered, being tortured by others!
She stiffened her neck and stared at Si He, her fear suppressed by the unwillingness and determination in her heart.
