Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 206 Thief

She sat in front of the dressing table, and he took the cloth and wiped her hair gently.

"Husband, have you bought everything?"

She knew that he had bought some things to make items to suppress evil spirits, but he came back very quickly. There were very few things in the small bag on the table, and she didn't know if the city had everything.

"Yeah, I bought everything."

"That's good."

After hearing what he said, she felt relieved. After all, the danger of this Yin Gathering Stone was extremely serious. If she really didn't have something to suppress it, she would have to hurry to another city. It was still early and she could leave the city.

However, seeing that Ning Ji's face was still a little pale, she asked with some concern: "How is your health?"

At the Qian family, he not only suffered some external injuries, but also had evil spirits enter his body, although he said he had treated it and taken medicine.

But this evil energy is very powerful. The three Taoists at the village entrance have not yet completely expelled the evil energy from their bodies. This shows how troublesome it is once the evil energy enters the body.

"Much better. Just a few days of recuperation will be enough."

He didn't care much about it. He just wiped her hair carefully, occasionally straightened it with his hands, and ran his fingers through her hair, gently fiddling with it.

Her hair was well-maintained, black and smooth, and it flowed through his hands like silk, making him unable to let go.

"Then shall we stay in the city for a few more days? Wait until you recover?" She turned to look at him.

He stopped what he was doing, rubbed her head gently, and said with a smile: "I'm fine, He He, don't worry."

After saying this, he turned his head and glanced at the bundle on the table not far away, and said: "The Yin Gathering Stone still needs to be dealt with as soon as possible. It is not suitable to leave it in the city."

"Ok."

He retracted his gaze, changed to a dry cloth, wiped her hair again, then took the comb and combed it gently, "I'll take you out to eat something later. You haven't eaten well these two days. What do you want to eat?"

She thought for a moment and said, "Eat meat."

He chuckled softly, "Okay."

After drying her hair, he combed her hair into a simple style, and after she was ready, they went out.

It was already dusk, the sun was setting, and the horizon was dyed a brilliant orange-red, which was very beautiful.

The light of the setting sun is no longer dazzling, but becomes soft, like a huge egg yolk.

On both sides of the street, some shops have already hung lanterns in front of their doors in advance. The bright red lanterns add a festive touch.

There are many pedestrians walking on the streets. Although it is a small town, it is quite lively. Compared with the gloomy ghost town before, it is simply a world of difference.

It’s more popular and makes people feel more comfortable.

The two walked around the street for a while and then found a larger restaurant.

When ordering food, she took into consideration that Ning Ji had to take medicine these days, so she asked, "Husband, is there anything you can't eat right now?"

"No."

"Well."

This way, she could order food with confidence.

Ginseng chicken soup, braised fish, venison soup, braised lamb, etc. are very rich and nutritious.

After the waiter brought the dishes, Si He scooped a bowl of chicken soup for him, and also gave him the venison soup, "Husband, eat more, it will nourish you."

After all, even if the evil spirits were driven out, the body would still be damaged. It would always be a good idea to supplement it more. Besides, his complexion was not very good, so eating these things was just right for him, she thought.

The waiter who was serving the dishes saw this scene and looked at Ning Ji in surprise. It seemed that he didn't look very well. He blinked. He hadn't noticed it just now. He didn't expect that the man was still weak.

Ning Ji glanced at the waiter, who quickly withdrew his gaze and quietly retreated.

There was no one else in the private room. Ning Ji looked at the nourishing soup in front of him and wanted to say that he didn't need to eat such nourishing things, but seeing Si He's caring eyes, he didn't say anything after all. He picked up the spoon and drank the soup silently.

So Si He picked up some food for him more enthusiastically, "Husband, eat this."

She put a piece of braised lamb into his bowl, the aroma was very tempting.

He curled his lips and said, "Well, you should eat quickly too."

"Ah."

After she picked up some vegetables for him, she picked up a piece of meat for herself. Well, compared to dry food, meat tastes much better.

The mutton is well-braised and the texture is excellent, not greasy or woody, and tastes great.

Delicious food always makes people feel happier.

Overall, this meal was quite enjoyable.

After dinner, when the two walked out of the restaurant, it was already dark.

The long street is decorated with lights and is still very lively at night. There are many vendors on the street and many people visiting the night market.

There were shouts everywhere, and customers stopped in front of many stalls.

Under normal circumstances, seeing this bustling street market, Si He would definitely take a good stroll, but last night was so dangerous that she didn't sleep well, and Ning Ji hadn't slept at all either, so they planned to go back early to rest.

However, after returning to the inn, my originally happy mood instantly plummeted to the bottom.

Because someone has entered the room!

Some of the silver in the bag was taken away, but that was not a big deal, after all, most of the money was exchanged for banknotes by Ning Ji and carried with him.

The main thing is that the small bronze tripod was also stolen!

Ning Ji's face was gloomy. "He He, you stay in the room. I'm going out for a while."

"it is good."

She responded and watched Ning Ji leave quickly, feeling a little worried.

Why are the thieves in this city so rampant?

I just went out for a meal and my house was robbed!

If she had only lost some valuables, she wouldn't have cared much, but the bronze tripod contained the Yin-Gathering Stone!

If someone takes it out rashly, it will be a big problem!

That would kill a lot of people.

Especially in this small town with a large population!

Si He stood by the window, looking at the bustling streets outside, hoping that Ning Ji could successfully retrieve his things.

Time passed by little by little, the pedestrians on the street gradually dispersed, and the night deepened.

It was not until an hour later that Ning Ji came back.

Si He looked at him coming back empty-handed, and her heart skipped a beat. This meant that she didn't get the girl back.

He said, "The thieves have left the city."

Si He asked, "Is there any way to get it back?"

She thought it was a habitual thief in the city, or there was something wrong with the inn, but unexpectedly, Ning Ji told her an unexpected news.

"Someone must have instructed Wei Xiaohu to steal something, but he's missing now. According to the guards at the city gate, he took the item and left the city before the gate closed."

Upon hearing this, Si He's face turned grim. She never expected that such an honest-looking child would do such a thing!

She asked herself if she had treated the child unfairly. She had let him take away a lot of benefits when he was in the bandit's lair a while ago. It was a lot of money, but how could he be easily ordered to steal things from the owner's house?

Coercion?

Probably not.

Moreover, as soon as she and Ning Ji left the house, he escaped before the city gate closed. It was obviously a premeditated plan.
