Chapter 282 The Devil Must Be Matched with a Witch
Liu Mao, who was resting under a big tree outside the cave, was shocked when he saw Si He coming out. After just one night, her face was as pale as a dead person. It was really scary!
Ning Ji glanced at him coldly, and Liu Mao immediately withdrew his gaze, not daring to look at him any longer.
After the two walked away, Liu Mao swallowed his saliva and secretly glanced at Si He's back, wondering if she was sick or practicing some evil skills.
After a long time, the two came back. This time, Liu Mao sat obediently against the tree trunk and slept without even looking at them.
When Si He returned to the cave, Ning Ji took her pulse again to check her physical condition. Her current condition seemed to be the same as before. She needed the energy of spiritual essence to support her body, but some evil energy had accumulated in her body and was difficult to dispel. Although it did not harm her body for the time being, it might not harm her body over time.
After taking her pulse, Ning Ji gave her a spiritual essence.
What was different from before was that this time after taking the spiritual essence, she became more sleepy, her eyelids felt heavy, and she fell asleep soon.
Ning Ji stood by her side, paying attention to her physical condition, his brows never relaxed.
Si He slept for three whole days!
During these three days, she was like a corpse, without any breath, unlike before when she could still detect any sign of life.
If Ning Ji didn't know that she was just sleeping, he would really be unable to sit still.
Ning Ji didn't breathe a sigh of relief until she woke up.
Si He opened her eyes dazedly and saw his tired face, with light blue stubble on his chin, and he looked slovenly, which was unusual for him.
"Husband." She just opened her mouth, her voice was a little hoarse, and her throat was a little uncomfortable.
"Well, are you thirsty?" he asked with concern.
Si nodded, and Ning Ji hurried to get the kettle, then helped her up and fed her water.
Feeling her tired body, she frowned slightly, drank a few sips of water, and after feeling better, she asked: "Husband, how long have I slept?"
"Three days." He studied her face and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
She looked at Ning Ji in surprise. She didn't expect that she had slept for so long. But when she heard his question, she answered truthfully, "I feel a little tired, a bit like I used to."
Ning Ji reached out to feel her pulse, and she leaned on his shoulder. After a while, he said, "Rest here for a while."
"Okay." Si He sighed in his heart.
"Are you hungry?" Ning Ji withdrew his hand and smoothed her hair.
"A little."
"What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you?"
She raised her head and looked at his stubble right in front of her. She knew that she had worried him these past few days and that he must not have slept well. She didn't want him to worry anymore, so she said, "Just cook some rice porridge."
Cooking rice porridge is the most convenient, and although she is a little hungry, she has no appetite, so drinking rice porridge is good enough.
"Okay, then you take a break."
"I'll go sit outside for a while and watch you make porridge." She looked at him with a faint smile, pretending to be cheerful.
Ning Ji also smiled lightly, "Okay."
After Ning Ji tidied her clothes and hair, he carried her out of the cave.
It is afternoon now, and due to the blocking of the mountains, the sun can no longer reach this side, so it is relatively cool.
Under a big tree in the distant forest, Liu Mao was keeping watch and paying attention to the movements around him, so as soon as the two came out of the cave, he immediately looked over.
It has been three days. During this period, except for Ning Ji who would come out when necessary, most of the time they stayed in the cave. Si He has never come out. Liu Mao wondered what happened.
Seeing that Si He still looked unwell, he felt more and more that she was practicing some evil skills and that there was something wrong with her body!
No wonder he hasn't come out for so many days, I hope he's gone crazy!
Alas, it’s so hard for him to suffer in this mountain forest!
"Liu Mao!"
Ning Ji called out, and he quickly stood up and ran over, saying, "Hey, I'm here!"
"Go and collect some firewood." Ning Ji ordered coldly.
Liu Mao stopped and said, "Okay, I'll go right away."
As he spoke, he hurriedly picked up dead branches in the surrounding woods, like a hardworking subordinate.
Si He sat on a rock and watched Ning Ji take a small pot, scoop some rice, and then go to the nearby stream to wash it.
There is still a big bag of rice, which can last for some time.
Ning Ji washed the rice, and Liu Mao also picked up a lot of dead branches, and then they quickly built a fire.
Gulu gulu~
Soon, the small pot boiled and began to emit a faint rice aroma.
Ning Ji asked Liu Mao to light a fire, and he went to the nearby woods to pick some wild fruits. He couldn't just drink rice porridge.
Si He sat quietly by the side, watching them busy. Ning Ji did not walk far away. He would occasionally turn his head to look at her, as if he was worried. She would smile back.
The mountain breeze blew, her black hair fluttered, her face was gentle and serene, like a lady in a painting, beautiful and dazzling. The only pity was that her face was too pale, but compared to her previous death-like complexion, it was much better.
Liu Mao took a quick glance, then looked away and started to light the fire seriously.
Soon, Ning Ji washed the wild fruits he had picked and brought them over.
"The fruit is very sweet, try it."
The bright red little wild fruits, as big as grapes, look very tempting.
Ning Ji passed the fruit to her lips, and she ate it, "Delicious."
Her eyes lit up slightly and her smile deepened. The fruit was indeed very sweet.
Ning Ji also smiled lightly, "Eat more if you like, I'll pick some more later."
"it is good."
Liu Mao, who was standing aside, couldn't help but look at the two of them again, thinking: These two are a match made in heaven. They may look harmless now, but they don't blink an eye when killing people. It turns out that a devil must be paired with a witch.
At this time, Ning Ji looked at him indifferently. He was so scared that he quickly withdrew his gaze and buried his head in making a fire.
Oh—
Suddenly, the roar of wild beasts was heard from the distant woods, accompanied by the sound of people fighting. It was estimated that the medicine-hunting team was attacked by wild beasts.
The sound came from far away and seemed to be running towards this side.
"Run!"
"This damn beast!"
"Ow!"
“Bang, bang, bang—”
……
There was a lot of noise, and soon those people ran to the front of the valley.
Si He, Ning Ji and Liu Mao all looked over there, and saw six or seven men and women running out of the woods. They looked miserable and had many wounds on their bodies.
"Help!"
"Save us!!!"
When those people saw someone coming over here, they immediately shouted and ran even faster, all fleeing towards this side. At this point, they didn't care about so much anymore. Even if there were only a few people, it didn't matter. If they could block the beasts behind them, they could also reduce the pressure.
Liu Mao saw through these people's plans at a glance and was a little furious, but in this situation, he could only quickly pick up his sword and be ready for battle.
However, Si He still sat quietly, and Ning Ji looked indifferent.
After a while, the wild beasts in the forest came chasing after them, but strangely, they suddenly stopped, stared at this side vigilantly, and did not chase after them again!
