Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 177 Staying in the Village

Si He lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the town from afar. She really didn't expect that the town would become like this. It had been less than ten days since she last left.

At that time, only the Qian family was in trouble, but the Qian family had not revealed any evil spirit at the time and was sealed off very tightly. Now, the whole town has changed drastically, with a visibly gray and evil spirit rising to the sky.

At this time, the talisman on her waist had already moved, but this place was still three miles away from the town, which showed how strong the evil spirit in the town was.

This is much more intense than the evil energy that Ning Ji brought back when he was in the mountain stronghold.

Although I don't know the situation in the town yet, I can tell from a distance that it is very tricky and dangerous.

"Hey! Are you guys leaving or staying here? If you want to leave, leave now. There's nothing exciting or interesting here!"

At this time, an official came from a distance and shouted to hurry up.

Just as the official finished speaking, an old man came up from behind and said with a smile, "It's getting late. If you want to find a place to stay, you can come to our village. There are still a few empty houses here."

"Old man Hong, you guys are really taking advantage of every opportunity to solicit customers. You don't even let go of anyone passing by." The officer curled his lips.

Old Man Hong chuckled and said, "We are also considering the guests passing by. After all, it is getting late now, and the next city is still quite a distance away."

After saying that, he looked at Ning Ji in front of the carriage and asked, "Would you like to stay in our village?"

"How much does it cost?" Ning Ji asked.

Old Man Hong's eyes flickered. "We'll talk as we walk. I'll show you the way. There are nice houses, and some are a bit more basic. You can take a look first. The price is negotiable."

Ning Ji didn't say anything else. He drove the carriage and slowly followed the old man into the village.

On the way into the village, you can see some talismans for exorcising evil spirits every few meters.

For example, on the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, or in front of the doors of every household and on the old earthen walls, all kinds of talisman papers are pasted. When the wind blows, the talisman papers flutter gently, and the whole village is shrouded in a weird and tense atmosphere.

At this moment, there were many people standing at the entrance of the village, staring at the direction of the town with different expressions. It was obvious at a glance that these people were not villagers.

When the carriage entered the village, these people all turned their heads and took a look at the newcomers.

Among the people who can settle down in this village now, nine out of ten have ideas about Zhuangjia Town and are not just passing by and want to rest.

When ordinary people see something strange happening in the town, they will leave as soon as possible unless it is too late. Who would dare to stay in such a troubled place without some ability?

Ning Ji also glanced at him lightly and then looked away.

Compared to Ning Ji's calm expression, Wei Xiaohu next to him was much more nervous.

He didn't know what his masters were doing here, nor did he know where they were going in the end. After all, he was just a servant and had no right to ask.

But when he was in the city before, he heard people talk about the tragic and strange things that happened in Zhuangjia Village. People said that this place was plagued by evil spirits and all the people in the town were dead!

But now that he saw this gloomy town with his own eyes, his hair stood on end. Even just looking at it from a distance made him feel terrified.

Thinking about what he had heard before, that many people came to this town to scavenge, he couldn't help but wonder if his masters had the same plan?

But this is a bit unnecessary. The masters have obviously made a lot of money from the bandits and are not short of money at all. There is no need to take the risk of coming here to scavenge.

However, who would complain about having too much money if they are capable?

Wei Xiaohu was panicking, thinking that his masters might really have this plan, and he couldn't help but feel a little scared. After all, evil spirits are too evil, who wouldn't be afraid of them?

At this moment, the old man leading the way pointed to a house not far to the side and said, "That's my yard. There's one of the best rooms left. Five taels of silver per night."

As he said this, he turned around and looked at Ning Ji's expression.

In fact, five taels of silver for a room here is really expensive. The inn at the entrance of Zhuangjia Town used to cost less than five taels of silver for one night, and the environment in the inn was much better than this one.

And this ordinary village house charges such a high fee, it really makes people feel like they are being ripped off.

Of course, this is because the current situation is special. The villagers here have the opportunity to earn a little more, so they earn a little more. Everyone holds this idea, so that if something really happens and they need to relocate, they will have some money on hand.

Ning Ji looked at the small courtyard not far away, and then looked at the surrounding houses. Relatively speaking, this courtyard was indeed one of the better ones in the village and not very shabby.

But whether to live here or not remains to be seen.

Seeing that he had no objection, the old man leading the way probably agreed to the price. He was delighted and quickly quickened his pace to lead the way.

Wei Xiaohu, standing by, widened his eyes. The yard was only slightly better than his previous home, but staying there for one night was so expensive? This person was simply unscrupulous!

Until they arrived in front of the yard, the carriage stopped, the old man opened the gate, and two men walked out. They were also guests living in this yard.

Both of them were not very old, about seventeen or eighteen years old, but they carried swords with them, which clearly showed that they were not from ordinary families.

The two men frowned when they saw the old man bringing back new guests. They naturally didn't want to see any more strangers in the yard, but there were extra houses in the yard and the owner wanted to rent them out, so they had no choice unless they paid for the rent themselves.

They came out now to see if the master and the others had returned, but since there were new guests, the two of them made way, walked to the low wall beside the door, leaned against it, and looked at the town in the distance with their arms folded across their chests.

The old man smiled and nodded at the two of them, then introduced Ning Ji, "You can come in and take a look, my house is quite nice."

Wei Xiaohu got off the carriage and consciously held the reins.

Ning Ji lifted the curtain and led Si He out of the carriage.

At this moment, the two people and the old man by the wall all looked over here, with a flash of surprise in their eyes. Although the beautiful woman in brocade clothes who got off the car was wearing a veil, it could be seen from her outline and those big watery eyes that she must be extremely beautiful.

However, the man next to her had a stern expression, which made them dare not look at her any longer.

"Please come in, both of you." The old man now realized that these two were the masters, and the one leading the horse was the servant.

However, before they could enter the yard to see the house, another group of people came from the official road in the distance. There were quite a few of them and they looked very aggressive. There were about dozens of them, each riding a tall horse and carrying a sword.
