Chapter 300: Sheltering from the Rain in a Cave
Chapter 300: Sheltering from the Rain in a Cave
Si He kept paying attention to Ning Ji's back, and after a while, she saw him walking into the cave.
Mo Mo seemed curious about what he was doing, so he followed him and climbed into the cave.
Seeing this, Si He couldn't help but smile.
There was a faint sound of chopping coming from the cave. Judging from the sound, there should be nothing dangerous inside. Ning Ji was just chopping the plants in the cave.
After a while, Ning Ji came out of the cave with a wooden stick in his hand. He pushed out the chopped weeds and other things in the cave and piled them at the edge of the cave entrance.
Si He stood up and walked over.
This is a small cave. It is not very big inside and you can see the bottom at a glance. There are no deep caves. It is quite small, but it is more suitable for staying.
She was about to help clean up the mess, but Ning Ji stopped her and said, "Just sit down, I'll finish it quickly."
Helpless, she had to say: "Then I'll bring the bag in."
"Okay." He didn't refuse again.
Si He walked towards the horse. After thinking about it, she simply led the horse over. Firstly, it saved energy. Secondly, the horse was a little far from the cave. If a ferocious beast suddenly rushed out of the forest and bit it to death, it would be a waste of time. It would be safer to tie the horse to the edge of the cave.
She untied the reins and was about to lead the horse away when she heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the woods. She turned her head and soon saw the people she had seen before coming towards her. Behind them was a group of people. They were the group that had been robbed by bandits outside Tianshan Mountain.
She narrowed her eyes slightly. These people were truly haunting, following her all the way here. She didn't believe in the idea of following the same path. The forest was so vast, why not just go anywhere else? Why did they have to follow them this way? They had been following them for so long!
After a group of people came out of the woods, they saw Si He and Ning Ji who was standing next to a cave not far away.
They immediately pulled the reins and looked at the two men.
However, Si He just glanced at them and led the horse towards the cave.
Rumble~
Suddenly, there was a loud thunder in the sky, which almost scared Si He.
It looks like it's going to rain soon.
Si He looked up at the sky, then quickened his pace. When he reached the front and back of the cave, he took the bag off the horse's back and carried it into the cave to prevent it from getting wet in the rain.
And this group of people who came out of the forest had an excuse to find a place to stay here to shelter from the rain.
Fortunately, the mountains here are endless, and there are still many caves of varying sizes nearby, but it is hard to say whether there are wild animals in them.
Seeing that it was about to rain, they quickly dispersed and went to find a suitable cave nearby to stay.
Some of them walked towards Ning Ji, as if trying to get close to him, or wanted to settle down in this cave, but Ning Ji shouted coldly "Get out", and drove them away. The people who came had ugly faces, and they could only snort coldly and leave.
Si He glanced at the man. That guy definitely had ulterior motives, so it was a good thing that Ning Ji didn't take any action.
Rumble~
There was another deafening thunder, and Si He withdrew his gaze and took the bag into the cave.
Ning Ji stepped forward to help, holding a few bundles in each hand, and brought all the things in at once, then tied the horse.
At this moment, the sky was getting darker and darker, and a storm was about to come.
"what!"
"Ouch~"
Suddenly, there were screams and roars of wild beasts in the distance. It was estimated that they encountered wild beasts when they were cleaning the place to stay.
After a round of fighting, the noise gradually subsided.
Si He ignored what was happening outside. She took out a thicker fur blanket from her bag and spread it on the ground so that she could sit more comfortably.
Ning Ji picked up some dry branches from around the cave and kept them for use in making a fire later.
Momo stayed in the cave for a while, and perhaps because it wanted to rest here for a while, it crawled out of the cave. It was unknown whether it went to play nearby or to hunt.
Si He only took a look at it and saw it running into the grass, so he ignored it because he knew it was obedient and would come back quickly as long as he called it.
After a while, it started to rain heavily outside. Raindrops as big as beans came down, and the outside of the cave was suddenly covered with fog.
Si He and Ning Ji sat on the blanket, ate some dry food, then leaned against the rock wall, looking at the rain outside and talking.
"Husband, we have already entered the depths of Tianshan Mountain. From now on, there is no need to hurry any further, right?"
She leaned against Ning Ji's arms. He held her in one hand and played with her little hand with the other, saying, "Well, judging from the direction and distance, there should be a place to nourish the spirit nearby."
The map shows several places for nourishing essence in the heart of Tianshan Mountain, one of which is nearby.
"So fast?" She was a little surprised. The drawing was a bit complicated, and she had a headache looking at it before. Moreover, she had been traveling in the forest today, so she really didn't know where she was. She only knew that she had gone deep into the heart of Tianshan Mountain.
"Not so fast." Ning Ji smiled slightly. After all, he had been riding on horseback for most of the day. "Let's stay here for the time being. When the weather gets better, we can go for a walk around the area."
He gently pinched her soft fingers and looked down at them. Her fingers were as delicate as green onions, making him unable to let go.
"Okay." Si He responded, rubbed her head against his neck, and leaned against him in a comfortable position.
He told her that they had now arrived near one of the nourishing places in Tianshan Mountain. She looked at the rain outside. She had not noticed it before, but now that it was dark, she could vaguely feel that there was a faint evil aura nearby. If she didn't sense it carefully, it would be difficult to detect, because the talismans on Ning Ji's body did not react.
She lowered her eyes to glance at the talisman tied around his waist. Now due to her health condition, she was no longer worthy of wearing the talisman. After all, the evil spirit could no longer harm her. As long as she didn't inhale too much of it all at once, there would be no problem.
Maybe the possibility is not high, but she still hopes to find the whereabouts of the Dragon Spirit Flower nearby.
The heavy rain continued to fall, and in the blink of an eye, it was already evening. However, the dark sky was not much different from night.
Ning Ji built a small fire at the entrance of the cave, collected rainwater in a small pot, and cooked some thick rice porridge. There were also some steamed buns in his bag, so the two of them ate some of it.
While the two were eating, the rain gradually subsided, and Momo slowly crawled back. His whole body was wet, his belly was slightly bulging, and no one knew what he had eaten.
It lay beside Si He, and this side was farther away from the fire.
Si He glanced at it and smiled slightly. This guy is easy to feed.
By this time, it was already dark. After the two had eaten their fill, the rain had stopped. However, some quarreling sounds were heard outside. It must have been a conflict between those people. As for what they were quarreling about, it was not clear, but from the noise, those people started fighting after quarreling. At the same time, there were some noises of cheering, and the commotion was quite loud.
