Chapter 298 Leaving the City
Chapter 298 Leaving the City
The next morning, Ning Ji got up early, made breakfast, and cleaned up the kitchen.
After he prepared breakfast and cleaned up the kitchen, Si He slowly got up and washed up.
At this time, it was already bright outside, but because there were large dark clouds in the sky, the sun was blocked. It was a really cloudy day, which was very good.
Si He sat in front of the dressing table, looking at the weather outside the window, feeling happy.
At this time, Ning Ji walked in and saw her combing her hair. He stood behind her, put his hands naturally on her shoulders, looked at her in the bronze mirror, and said softly, "What hairstyle do you want?"
Si He also looked at him in the bronze mirror. Although it was a little blurry and not very clear, she could still see the gentle smile on his face. She raised the corner of her mouth, handed the comb in her hand to him, and said, "Let's keep it simple."
She didn't want to make too much trouble.
Ning Ji took the comb and replied with a smile, "Okay."
Her long hair fell to her waist like a waterfall, and her hair was as shiny as silk. The autumn wind blew in from the window, and a few strands of hair were gently lifted up.
He took the comb and combed her long hair one by one, his movements gentle and skillful.
Si He quietly looked at the figure reflected in the bronze mirror. He lowered his eyebrows and eyes, his expression gentle and focused. When his cold and handsome face softened, it was particularly hard to look away, especially when he was serious, which was pleasing to the eye no matter how you looked at it.
At this moment, he began to tie her hair. The long hair shuttled through his hands, and soon he tied it into a simple and beautiful hairstyle. Finally, he fixed it with a hairband, which looked even better than hers.
"Which hairpin do you want to wear?" Ning Ji raised his eyes and looked at the person in the bronze mirror.
She looked at him with a smile on her face, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, and she said: "You choose for me."
Ning Ji picked through the jewelry box and chose a plain jade hairpin. "This one?"
He felt that this hairpin matched her clothes and hairstyle today, and also met her requirements and was relatively simple.
"Okay." She nodded.
The hairpins were inserted into his hair, which complemented each other perfectly. He smiled with satisfaction.
Si He looked at the figure in the bronze mirror, quietly enjoying the wonderful time, and suddenly hoped that time could stay at this moment forever.
She raised her hand, gently touched the hairpin on her head, looked at herself in the mirror, and smiled sweetly: "It looks good."
"Yeah, it looks good." He also looked at the reflection in the bronze mirror, not knowing whether he was talking about the hairstyle and hairpin, or her.
The smile on her lips deepened, and she felt sweet in her heart.
Ning Ji lowered his head, kissed the top of her head, and said, "Let's go and have breakfast first."
"it is good."
She stood up, and Ning Ji took her hand and walked out.
The autumn wind blows, and the fallen leaves float in the yard, making it cool and comfortable.
Ning Ji went to the kitchen and brought out the food, placing it on the small table in the yard. There were a few delicious side dishes, soft steamed buns and steaming millet porridge. It was simple and delicious.
The two sat opposite each other, eating with their heads down and occasionally chatting.
The autumn wind blew, and a few strands of hair on her temples were blown off, and the hair brushed her cheek playfully. Ning Ji reached out and tucked her hair behind her ears. She smiled back. Against the backdrop of the autumn wind and fallen leaves, this moment seemed warm and beautiful.
Momo was still standing at the kitchen door, devouring the pieces of meat on the small plate in big mouthfuls. After a while, he had finished all the pieces of meat, and his stomach was bulging.
After breakfast, Ning Ji and Si He began to pack up the things in the house. They took as much as they could, and put the things they couldn't take away in the cabinet. They could only hope that these things would still be there in the future. Although they were not valuable, they were bought by them after all.
Several large bags were hung on the horse's back, filling it up.
When leaving the city, some people in the city were carrying packages and walking outside the city. However, these people knew how to conceal their identities. The cloth on the packages was tattered, and so were the clothes they wore. They looked like poor refugees, and it was obvious at a glance that they were trying to guard against the robbers outside the city.
The city is now becoming more and more empty and deserted than before.
Ning Ji and Si He sat on horseback and rode past. Compared with the people who were dressed in poor clothes, the two of them looked particularly special. Although Si He was wearing a veil hat, her silk clothes did not cover it up. The material of Ning Ji's clothes was not bad either, but the black color was more low-key.
In the eyes of outsiders, the two of them are definitely fat sheep!
Many people looked sideways with burning eyes.
Although both of them don't like trouble, there is really no need to humble themselves and pretend to be poor.
After leaving the city, Ning Ji sped up and rushed towards the Tianshan Mountains.
Ning Ji took a remote path and did not encounter any bandits on the way. Nowadays, many bandits boldly ambush passers-by near official roads, so some remote paths are safer.
However, remote trails are difficult to walk on and may be attacked by wild animals. There are still some dangers for pedestrians walking on the trails.
The two men had a smooth journey, but when they arrived at the forest outside Tianshan Mountain, they encountered two groups of people fighting.
One group is gangsters, and the other group is a team composed of different people.
At this time, the bandits had the upper hand and beat this group of people back again and again. Many people were injured, and only a few of the more capable ones were left to hold on in the front.
Originally, Ning Ji didn't want to meddle in other people's business and was about to ride his horse around, but when the group of bandits saw the two of them, they immediately sent out several people to intercept them, intending to keep them as well!
Ning Ji immediately pulled the reins and jumped off the horse. He did not hold a sword and fought these people with his bare hands. He had not fought for a long time and regarded it as a way to exercise.
Si He quickly pushed aside the gauze of the veil and looked at them. She saw that Ning Ji was agile and nimble like a cheetah, but his moves were extremely fierce. He knocked down the swords in the hands of several people one after another, and then dealt a fatal blow.
"what--"

The last person's neck was broken and he fell to the ground, completely dead!
The group of bandits not far away were shocked when they saw several brothers who intercepted them falling one after another. They stopped dealing with the other group and looked at Ning Ji angrily. They wanted to kill him, but they were worried about Ning Ji's terrifying skills!
Seeing Ning Ji turning his head to look at them, the leader gritted his teeth and decisively shouted to his men, "Retreat!"
This time I've hit a wall!
The leader was smart and knew that if he didn't leave, it would be difficult to escape. It didn't matter if the robbery failed, the important thing was to save his life so that he could commit the next robbery!
The men were very unwilling to accept this. They were so close to success, yet they retreated at this moment? But they had to obey their boss's orders, so they could only retreat in anger.
The group of people who were besieged by the bandits breathed a sigh of relief immediately. If it had been any later, they would not have been able to hold on!
