Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 249 Overnight in the Valley

The tiger retreated, and several groups of people not far away also relaxed a little. At the same time, they were glad that it was just a tiger, and not a group of wolves or other powerful beasts. Otherwise, they would also be in trouble.

The members of the White Tiger Gang are well aware of the dangers of being attacked by a group of beasts.

Si He watched the tiger retreat and relaxed. She whispered to Ning Ji, "This tiger isn't stupid."

The coldness in Ning Ji's eyes dissipated, and the corners of his lips curved slightly, "Yeah."

He took out a handkerchief and wiped the oil stains from the corners of her mouth, then asked, "Would you like some water?"

"it is good."

She answered, and he picked up the kettle, unscrewed the stopper, and carefully fed her.

Compared to Liu Mao's fear, the warm and intimate relationship between the two was in stark contrast, as if they were not affected by the beast at all.

The moon rose, and its faint moonlight sprinkled on the valley, adding brightness and making the figures of the two people clearer and more tender.

Some people looked over and couldn't help but take a few more glances at the two of them. One reason was that the man was talented and the woman was beautiful, but mainly because in this dangerous forest, such a loving couple with no sense of crisis always made people feel a little different.

As the night deepened, Si He and Ning Ji, after filling their stomachs, went to a nearby stream to wash their faces and rinse their mouths. As for taking a bath, that was impossible, so they could only endure it for a few days.

In a forest full of dangers, even when relieving oneself, one must be careful. If one is not careful, one might be attacked by a wild beast. For example, at this moment, Si He was washing her face when she heard a man's scream coming from the woods not far away. The man was attacked by a wild boar while relieving himself.

When the others heard the noise, they rushed over to help. The man was only slightly injured, but looked very embarrassed.

After this incident, everyone became more cautious.

When Si He and Ning Ji returned to the mountain wall, they saw those people dealing with the killed wild boar. The head was really huge, no wonder it could injure people.

However, when they gutted the wild boar and prepared to roast it, the smell of blood was so strong that they were a little worried that they would attract other wild animals.

Fortunately, they quickly dealt with the wild boar blood, and the fire burned even more vigorously. Even if wild beasts came, they would at least pay attention to the flames.

While they were cheering and eating meat, Si He had already laid on her side beside Ning Ji, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Although there was a lot of noise in the distance, it was time for Si He to take medicine tonight. After taking the medicine, Ning Ji gently patted her back and coaxed her to sleep. She quickly fell asleep and slept very soundly.

The night passed peacefully, and luckily no wild animals attacked us again.

Although Si He was sleeping soundly, she woke up when the sky was slightly bright. She was very sensitive to the dim light of dawn.

She opened her eyes sleepily, turned over, and put her arms around Ning Ji beside her, waking up with sleepy eyes.

"Are you awake?" Ning Ji looked down at her and reached out to touch her head.

"Yeah." She responded and rubbed her head against his side. After a while, she supported herself with her hands and sat up.

"Sleep a little longer? It's still early." Ning Ji straightened her slightly messy long hair.

Si He shook her head and said, "No, I'm not going to sleep anymore. You haven't slept yet."

There was a smile in his eyes, but before he could speak, she pushed him down and said, "You sleep for a while, I'll keep watch."

"it is good."

He said nothing more, closed his eyes and rested for a while.

It was still very dark at this time, with only a slight light on the horizon, and everything was silent.

Not far away, several groups of people were also taking turns to keep watch, and the fire was burning brightly.

Si He sat next to Ning Ji, keeping her eyes wide open and paying attention to the movements around her.

The night watchman not far away glanced over here for a few times, then looked away, and was as alert to the movements around him as she was.

When Liu Mao heard the sound, he opened his eyes and glanced over here, then closed his eyes and went back to sleep.

Time passed little by little, the sky gradually brightened, and the sun slowly rose.

Si He put on a veil and gloves, then picked a large leaf to block the light for Ning Ji.

Fortunately, this valley faces west and the sun won't reach here for a while, so we can rest for a while longer.

Compared to Si He who was not in a hurry at all, several groups of people not far away got up early. They were quick and efficient. After eating some wild boar meat from last night, they packed up their things and left together.

Before leaving, they couldn't help but look at the two people on the cliff again, with inquiring and complicated expressions in their eyes. They walked into the woods while whispering.

After a while, the valley became quiet. Apart from the faint sound of flowing water, there was only the singing of birds in the forest.

Liu Mao occasionally glanced over here and was a little puzzled. He felt that these two people did not seem to be here to look for treasure. But it was better this way, he didn't have to take any risks.

As the sun gradually rose higher, the light became brighter and brighter, even a little dazzling, and the temperature began to rise slowly, becoming a little hot.

When the sun was high in the sky and about to shine on the valley, Ning Ji got up and went with Si He to wash and eat.

However, while eating, I vaguely heard people shouting from the distant mountains. From the sound, it seemed that something had happened, but because the distance was too far, I couldn't hear it clearly.

Hearing this noise, the three people had different expressions.

Liu Mao was very worried. After all, he was now like a slave. He had to be the first to deal with any dangerous or difficult situation. He couldn't help feeling sad. He could only pray that he would not encounter any dangerous situation and hoped to leave the forest alive.

Si He wondered if the group that had left earlier had encountered an attack, or if there had been a dispute between them.

As for the attack by wild beasts, the probability is very low because no wild beast roars were heard.

Ning Ji didn't care about it, but he prepared the necessary things and took them with him, because according to the path marked on the map, this place is very close to one of the ancient tombs in the Black Forest, and this ancient tomb should be the one discovered by those people.

After eating, the three of them set off again and headed in the direction where those people had shouted, with Liu Mao leading the way.

The horse jogged through the forest. Since the previous groups of people had walked on the road, some of the obstructing branches in the forest had been cut down. Liu Mao followed these traces and had a smooth journey without encountering any attacks from wild beasts.

After a while, the road gradually extended down the mountain, and the trees in the forest became denser, almost blocking out the sunlight, and the light was very dim.

After walking downhill for a while, we finally heard voices from the front, and it seemed that there were quite a few people ahead.

The light ahead was noticeably brighter. It turned out that a lot of trees had been cut down in the forest ahead, allowing the sunlight to shine through.

This is a large valley, and also where the ancient tomb is located.

At this time, there were quite a few people and horses in the mountains and forests, but there were more horses than people. They each occupied a piece of land and were vigilant in keeping a certain distance.
