Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 308 Time flies

Both of them ate a lot during this meal. Si He felt a little full, so Ning Ji accompanied her for a walk to help digest the food.

Momo stayed at home to watch over the situation.

At this time, it was already dark. After walking out of the alley, I saw lanterns hanging on the street. They were bright red and looked very festive.

This was her second time visiting this small town. The first time was when she first arrived and went shopping with Ning Ji. However, she did not expect that this was her second time going out after such a long time. But for her, it seemed like she had just had a long sleep before.

The town is rather quiet at night, without the bustling and lively atmosphere of the city. There are some people on the main street, but in some small streets and alleys, there are almost no people walking, at most you may occasionally encounter a few passers-by.

Si He held Ning Ji's hand with one hand, and with the other, she held his arm, leaning against him, walking slowly, her posture relaxed and lazy. In the dim and deserted night, she didn't care if her behavior was inappropriate, since there were not many people around anyway.

Ning Ji actually liked her clingy look. He slowed down his pace and walked with her towards the streets along the river.

Although the town is not big and deserted, some of the scenery is still nice. There is a clear stream beside the town.

The creek is not big and cannot be considered a river because it is only two meters wide. On weekdays, some women in the town like to wash clothes here and call it the creek.

The riverside has been repaired and paved with bluestone, making the road easy to walk on. Every few steps, there are lanterns hanging in front of the houses on the roadside to illuminate the road so that it is not pitch dark.

The light and shadow of the lanterns were reflected on the water, swaying gently with the rise and fall of the waves, making the water sparkle.

The two walked along the river from the end of the town to the beginning, and then walked back slowly, chatting all the way, looking particularly leisurely.

Halfway through, she slowed down her pace, so he stopped, bent down, and wanted to carry her on his back.

She happily climbed onto his back and let him carry her as they slowly walked back. The light cast a long shadow.

A leisurely life always passes quickly. In the blink of an eye, three days have passed.

Now that the weather is starting to warm up, it is time for them to go to Tianshan again and continue searching for the Dragon Spirit Flower.

The house is still rented, and Ning Ji paid an extra year's rent, but the next time he returns, it will probably be almost winter.

After packing up their things, the two set off the next day.

At this time of year, there are still many people going into the mountains, but most of them are looking for herbs and hunting small prey on the outskirts of the Tianshan Mountains. Only a few people go deep into the heart of the Tianshan Mountains.

As we stepped into the Tianshan Mountains, the temperature was obviously colder than outside, especially on the high mountains which were still covered with snow, shining silvery in the sun.

In the forest at the foot of the mountain, a crisp cold wind blows from time to time.

Si He wrapped her cloak tightly around her, and Mo Mo also huddled under her cloak, staying there obediently.

Ning Ji rode his horse all the way towards the heart of Tianshan Mountains.

Along the way, in addition to occasionally encountering some people going into the mountains, they would often encounter some wild animals coming out to hunt. They stopped and walked along the way, and there was no danger, at least for the two of them.

After reaching the depths of the Tianshan Mountains, the two slowed down their pace and, as before, searched carefully around their destination before moving to another place to continue searching.

Time passed, and two months had gone by. Now Si He was awake for longer periods of time. At least two months had passed, and she showed no signs of falling asleep for the time being. This was a good thing.

During this period, the two went to Dayan Kingdom again to inquire about Liu Mao's situation. Unfortunately, Tianyuan Trading Company had not received the Dragon Spirit Flower, and they had never heard of anyone finding this medicinal flower.

This has also led to fewer and fewer people going into the mountains to look for medicine, and there is no longer the same enthusiasm as before.

Returning disappointed, although this was expected, a feeling of loss spread in Si He's heart.

However, in front of Ning Ji, she still tried her best to hide her emotions.

Just as the two of them stepped into Tianshan Mountain again, Si He's complexion began to slowly turn pale, a sign that she was about to fall asleep. However, after she took a spiritual essence, her complexion improved slightly, and her fatigue and sleepiness faded, delaying her slumber.

Now, Ning Ji and Si He have gradually figured out the role of spiritual essence. Although this thing can give her energy, nourish her body and delay sleep, it also has disadvantages. Even if Ning Ji has cleared the evil spirit inside these spiritual essences, after taking them, the evil spirit will still slowly be produced in the body. The more you take, the more evil spirit will be deposited.

When the evil energy in her body accumulated too much and her body was burdened to a certain extent, she could only use sleep to repair her body.

The two continued to search for the Dragon Spirit Flower in Tianshan. During this period, Si He took the spiritual essence twice. This was her temporary limit. Judging from the situation, she could not take the spiritual essence anymore, otherwise there would be uncontrollable consequences. She could only fall asleep again.

Si He gritted her teeth and persevered, and only fell asleep after leaving Tianshan Mountain, returning to Beisha Kingdom, and returning to the house she had previously rented in Wumeng Town.

It is autumn now and the weather in September is cool.

After Si He fell asleep, the yard returned to its deserted state, especially when the autumn wind blew, and fallen leaves fluttered all over the yard. Apart from the whistling sound of the wind, there was silence.

Except for going out to buy some food when necessary, Ning Ji basically stayed at the house. In the morning, he practiced martial arts or made medicine in the yard, and occasionally went into the house to check on Si He. In the afternoon, he did some chores, such as cleaning the yard, the house, washing clothes, drying quilts, etc. He also wiped Si He's body regularly every day, day after day.

At the beginning, Momo was there to keep him company, but when winter was approaching, Momo crawled into the burrow and hibernated.

Autumn has passed and winter has come. This year's winter is as cold as last year, with heavy snow.

As expected, Si He missed the snow scene this year and did not wake up.

In the cold winter, the whole town is covered with heavy snow, and the whole world becomes quiet.

There was a thick layer of snow on the small trees in the yard, and the branches were even bent by the snow. The cold air made people not want to go out.

However, Ning Ji's daily routine remained unchanged. He still practiced martial arts in the yard every day and cleaned what needed to be done. He did not become lazy because of the cold winter because he had done the same thing before.

Time passes, winter goes and spring comes.

When the ice and snow melted and all things revived, Ning Ji stayed in the house for longer periods of time, hoping to be the first to see Si He wake up.

But, as time passed, even Momo woke up, but she was still sleeping.

Helpless, he had no choice but to wait.

In a blink of an eye, spring passed and it was the hot summer, but she still showed no signs of waking up.

During the long wait, the leaves of the small trees in the yard turned green, then yellow, and then withered, but she was still sleeping soundly.

Time flies, and three years have passed in the agonizing wait.
