Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 175: Another Robbery

Walking out of the inn, there are already many small stalls on the street. The vendors' cries are loud, like the chirping of cicadas in summer, one after another, adding a bit of liveliness to the street.

There are people selling fruits, cakes and buns on the streets. There are more people selling food at this time, and the air is filled with all kinds of tempting aromas.

There are many vendors pushing carts or carrying loads on their shoulders in the middle of the road, selling all kinds of small things, and people coming and going.

Many teahouses on the roadside have also become lively. Through the windows, you can see tea drinkers inside, either drinking tea alone or gathering in groups of three or five, chatting and laughing.

Ning Ji and Si He walked along the street. He didn't walk fast, matching her pace. He asked, "What do you want to eat?"

She looked around at the various stalls on the street, then pointed to a stall not far away and said, "Have some sweet porridge."

She likes to eat sweets.

"Okay." He raised the corner of his lips slightly and took her hand and walked towards the stall.

The stall is very simple, but business is good. Many people come to buy sweet porridge. Some people put the sweet porridge into a wide bamboo tube and take it away, while others sit at the stall to eat it. Most of the people who eat this kind of sweet food are girls.

She was not wearing a veil today, and the warm sunlight shone on her face, giving her a faint smile.

The two of them have outstanding looks and are particularly eye-catching when walking on the street.

In front of the stall, the busy stall owner looked up and saw the two customers in front of him. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful. Both their appearance and clothes were excellent. In the stall owner's impression, such people rarely come to this roadside stall to eat. Most of them go to teahouses and restaurants.

The stall owner was stunned for a moment, then smiled warmly and said, "What would you like to eat, gentlemen? We have sweet porridge, steamed cakes, and pastries."

"Two bowls of sweet porridge and one steamed cake." Ning Ji said, then looked at Si He, "Would you like some pie?"

She shook her head. Perhaps because she had eaten too much pie some time ago, she didn't want to eat this food anymore.

"Please take a seat, my two guests. It will be ready soon." The stall owner quickly took a bowl and filled it with food.

The two found an empty table and sat down.

The tables and chairs here are rather narrow, far less spacious and comfortable than those in teahouses and restaurants. A simple cloth tent is set up above the stall to block the sunlight, but there are some small holes in the tent, and the sunlight shines through the holes, forming spots. It is just an ordinary roadside stall.

After a while, the stall owner brought over the sweet porridge and steamed cakes and said with a smile, "Enjoy your meal, both of you."

Two large bowls of sweet porridge are dark red in color with a little bit of white mixed in. This is actually red bean and lotus seed porridge. The quantity is large and steaming hot.

The steamed cake is quite big in portion and is made of millet. It is golden in color, looks great and has an enticing aroma.

Si He's appetite was aroused. She picked up the spoon and stirred the sweet porridge. Ning Ji said, "Be careful, it's hot."

"Hmm." She blew on the hot air and took a sip. It tasted pretty good.

He also lowered his head and ate. He was not keen on sweets, but since she liked it, he ate some too.

However, the weather was a bit hot at the moment, and after she had eaten for a while, she began to sweat on her forehead.

Ning Ji took out a handkerchief and wiped her sweat gently and carefully.

There were many people around who kept looking at me, but they didn't mean any harm. After all, people with outstanding looks always attract more attention.

After eating, the two paid the bill and left. Along the way, they bought some snacks, such as the special braised beef strips, candied fruits and some dry food, which were convenient for eating on the road.

Strolling along the way, on the way back to the inn, Si He noticed that there were several subtle gazes around her, with unclear meanings, as if they were being followed.

She remained expressionless, pretending not to notice anything. Only after returning to the inn did she speak up, "Husband, is someone targeting us?"

"Yeah." He was not surprised by this. The two men were not dressed in the coarse linen clothes of ordinary people, and they had no followers around them. They were like rich fat sheep, so it was normal for them to be targeted.

Therefore, it is important not to show off your wealth when you are out.

But he wanted her to live freely, wear the beautiful clothes and jewelry she liked, and not have to compromise herself because of a little trouble.

He said: "Don't worry, we will just leave the city."

Those who would take action for a little extra money are just petty thieves and are not worth worrying about.

"Okay." Seeing his attitude, she had nothing to worry about, but she was a little curious whether those people would follow them out of the city?

The two of them packed up their things and prepared to leave soon.

Knock knock knock~

At this time, there was a knock on the door. It was the waiter bringing the washed and dried clothes.

These were the clothes Ning Ji had taken off last night and asked the store to clean them. He only had to pay a small extra fee. Before going upstairs just now, he told the store in advance that he wanted to check out, so the waiter came over hurriedly with the clothes.

Ning Ji went to open the door, brought in the clothes, packed up his things, and went downstairs with Si He.

At this time, Wei Xiaohu was already waiting at the door of the inn, and the waiter also pulled the carriage over.

Before getting on the carriage, Si He glanced around inconspicuously. There was still someone watching her in the dark.

Ning Ji glanced at them calmly, then drove the carriage away slowly.

Only Wei Xiaohu sat in the front of the car, watching the street scenes along the way. It was his first time to visit such a prosperous city, but he had to leave after only one day, which he couldn't help but feel a little sorry.

The carriage moved slowly forward, heading towards the outside of the city.

After following the carriage for a while, the people behind it changed to another group. This time they rode horses and followed from a distance.

In the city, because there are many pedestrians on the streets and the carriages move slowly, if you don't pay attention, it is difficult to notice that there are people following behind.

But after leaving the city, the road became much emptier. The carriage sped up, while the riders still followed from a distance and did not go ahead.

At this moment, there were occasional pedestrians and caravans passing by on the official road. Perhaps it was because they were concerned about the large number of people on the road that they did not take action.

The carriage moved forward and after traveling for a while, it suddenly turned into a small road.

When the group of people following behind saw this, their eyes suddenly lit up. Then they whipped their horses a little harder and sped up.

When the carriage was driving on a bend, the curtains were blown by the wind. Si He turned her head and saw seven or eight people following behind, galloping towards them on horseback.

Almost everyone looked excited and fierce, as if they were chasing prey.

Compared with the previous silent following, this would seem particularly blatant.

They are about to close the net.

But it’s hard to say who the prey is.

……

A quarter of an hour later, the carriage slowly drove out of the small road, headed back to the official road, and slowly left.

Except for Wei Xiaohu, who was sitting in front of the carriage with a pale face and trembling hands, passers-by could not see anything unusual.
