Chapter 364 Familiar People and Things
Si He glanced at them, closed her eyes, and took a short nap, not paying any attention to the two of them.
This nonchalant attitude surprised the two men, but the distance was too far and her hat brim covered most of her face, so they couldn't see the girl's face clearly.
However, they didn't think much of it. After whispering a few words, they turned and left.
The world is more chaotic than before.
This was the information Si He had learned so far, but the closer he got to the city, the more tense the atmosphere became.
After resting for half a day, Si He set off again. Every time he approached the edge of the city, he found that there were many checkpoints, and the inspection was very strict.
In some places, there were even inspection officials outside the mountains and forests, carefully checking passers-by. She even saw them conscripting young men.
Si He did not have a household registration that matched her identity, so she had no choice but to hide all the way, trying to take detours or travel through the mountains and forests. It felt like she was back to the life of being wanted on the run.
A day later, she arrived at the border between Beisha Kingdom and Dayan Kingdom.
Because the direction of the bone bead's reaction changed again, she had no choice but to change direction accordingly.
In fact, every time she felt the guidance of the bone bead, her mood was a little complicated, with anxiety, tension, anticipation, etc. After all, this was a search for Ning Ji's reincarnation, not Ning Ji.
Maybe the soul is the same, but the person is different. It will be a completely stranger, and it is impossible for him to have any memory of the previous life, and it is impossible for him to recognize her.
Every time she thought of this result, she felt a little lost.
Si He squatted by the stream, looking at her reflection in the water. Fortunately, she still looked young, not older or uglier. Otherwise, she really had no confidence that Ning Ji's reincarnation would fall in love with her again.
After a long while, she took out the bone bead again, placed it carefully in the palm of her hand, closed her eyes, and concentrated her mind to sense the guidance of the bone bead.
Unfortunately, this time, the bone bead did not react at all.
This situation is very normal. Out of ten times of sensing, she could only feel a faint sense of direction three times at most.
However, the direction previously indicated was towards the Great Yan Kingdom.
She put the bone beads away and led the horse towards a small town not far away.
However, since she did not have a household registration certificate and the inspection at the city gate was strict, she did not plan to enter the city. Instead, she went to a tea stall outside the city to drink tea and rest, preparing to find out some information before planning to go to the Great Yan Kingdom.
The tea stall was not too big, but there were quite a few people stopping there. Almost all of them were from the underworld, and they all carried swords and knives. Most of them were tall and strong, and looked quite intimidating at first glance.
Although the government has conscripted men in recent years, it basically targets the poor. As long as they pay the required amount of money, everything will be fine.
When Si He came to the tea stall alone, everyone in the stall looked at her.
After all, it is still very rare for a girl to go out alone.
Nowadays, even female warriors with better skills would travel in groups. It would be okay if they were in the city, but it would be absolutely rare outside the city.
Except for the old woman, of course.
Si He walked calmly to an empty table in the shade and sat down, ignoring the gazes from those around her.
The waiter from the teahouse came over quickly and greeted him warmly, "Sir, would you like some tea or water?"
Although she was wrapped tightly in a cloak and had a veil on her face, leaving only her eyes and forehead exposed, one could tell she was a little girl from her beautiful big eyes and fair, delicate skin.
Especially her slender figure. Even though her clothes are loose and rough, you can tell that she is definitely not very old.
The waiter at the tea stall was standing by the table, feeling a little curious. This girl was so brave that she dared to walk outside alone!
Si He glanced at the kettle in the waiter's hand and said, "Water."
Her voice was crisp, and although it was cold, it was indeed pleasant to hear. As soon as they heard her voice, their guess was confirmed. She was indeed not very old and was a young girl.
"Okay!" The waiter quickly poured her a glass of water and placed the kettle on the table. He then asked, "Sir, would you like anything to eat? We have pancakes and steamed buns."
"Need not."
She refused indifferently, so the waiter had no choice but to say, "Then sir, please call me if you need anything."
After he finished speaking, he said no more and turned to greet other guests.
At this time, a man from the next table came over. Although he was the thinnest among these people, he had a bandit-like air and looked like a good guy.
The people around were watching with great interest. It was a good thing that someone came out to test the waters first. They also wanted to know how strong this girl was and what she looked like.
If it’s just average, then just watch and see. If it’s good, then we’ll talk about it later.
Unexpectedly, this man was so direct. After walking up to the girl, he raised his hand to lift her cloak and hood, and said: "Little girl..."
Before he could finish his words, his wrist was suddenly grabbed and then slammed onto the table!
"boom!"
There was a sound, and the kettle on the table shook. Fortunately, the force was not too strong, so the kettle did not fall over and the table was fine.
But the man yelled, "Ah!"
The man didn't expect that the girl could be so tough and actually attack him directly!
Now everyone around opened their eyes wide and their faces showed more interest.
The man felt ashamed and suddenly became a little angry, "You stinky bitch!"
He immediately raised his hand to fight back, but just as he raised his other hand, she pierced the back of his hand with a dagger, nailing his hand to the table!
"what!!!"
This time, the man's shouting was much louder than before, it was deafening, and it startled the pedestrians on the official road in the distance so much that they stopped and looked over.
Among them, a caravan passed by, and the people in the carriage lifted the curtain and looked over. When they saw the figure wrapped tightly in a cloak, they couldn't help but frowned slightly, as if they felt somewhat familiar, and long-lost memories were slowly awakened.
Especially when he saw from afar the dagger stuck in the table with the back of a person's hand nailed to it, he was stunned.
The people in the tea stall were also a little surprised. They didn't expect her to be so cruel and ruthless. She just used a knife without saying a word!
Fresh red blood flowed from the back of the man's hand, then flowed down the table to the ground, and the air was filled with a faint smell of blood.
The conversations around stopped, and after a while, some people started shouting excitedly, as if their interest was ignited and they were looking forward to the next fight.
At this time, the man's companions stood up one after another, and everyone at the table was furious. They naturally could not tolerate seeing their people being bullied like this!
Si He looked at the man at that table who was about to come over, and the look in her eyes became even colder, with murderous intent. She just wanted to drink some tea and get some information, but he was not letting anyone to rest in peace!
She looked up at the sky. Good, although the sky was gloomy now, it was finally not sunny anymore. There was no need to worry about taking action!
Just as the men at that table walked towards her with ferocious looks, she also drew her dagger.
"what!!!"
The man screamed again, his hands trembling, and he collapsed to the ground.
