Chapter 385 Help him
When she said this, it was as if she was looking at someone else through his eyes.
Then he asked her, "Do you still want to exorcise the evil spirit?"
Her eyes quickly cleared, and a hint of impatience began to creep into her tone.
The man reached out his hand, looked at the stone in her hand that exuded a cold aura, and asked, "What is this?"
"Something that absorbs evil energy."
Hearing her say this, he had no choice but to say, "Let's get started. What do I need to do? Is there anything I should pay attention to?"
“Just relax,” she said.
After saying that, she took the cold black stone and placed it in his palm.
The next moment, the black stone seemed to have a suction force, as if it wanted to suck something out of his body, which made him feel terrified. His heart beat faster subconsciously, and an inexplicable danger spread from his palm.
His body instinctively tried to pull his hand back, but she held his wrist tightly, and with her other hand she pressed the black stone into his palm, preventing him from breaking free.
Seeing this, he tried his best to suppress the fear in his body and let her move. At this moment, he suddenly felt the cold and gloomy aura that had tormented him for a long time began to surge into his arms, and then a gray gas surged out through his arms and palms.
The gases were very weak, but still visible. They saw the gases flowing out from his palms and then drilling into the black stone. This scene was very magical!
As the gases continued to flow out, the man felt much more comfortable and no longer felt as depressed and uncomfortable as before. This obvious effect proved that what she did was really useful!
She was really helping him to expel the evil spirits from his body.
The people nearby relaxed a little after seeing this situation and were no longer as wary of her as before.
After a while, all the evil energy in his body was drawn into the Soul-Shocking Stone. However, his body had been corroded, so it would take a long time for him to recuperate.
Si He then withdrew her hand and put the Soul-Shocking Stone back into the talisman bag. The cold and gloomy aura then disappeared. "The evil energy in your body has been expelled. Just rest for a while and you'll be fine."
Upon hearing this, the guards looked overjoyed.
The man nodded. The chilling, terrifying aura vanished, and at the same time, the faint warmth in his hand vanished. He looked at the mysterious girl before him, his eyes becoming more complex. He said, "Thank you for your help, young lady. May I know where you live? I'll have someone give you a generous gift someday."
Si He put her things away, looked up at him, and said, "No need for a generous gift. Just give me ten taels of silver and we'll be even."
Trying to find out her identity is impossible.
Although she didn't care about his generous gift, she still asked for some money so that neither of them would owe each other anything. Otherwise, people would think she had other intentions and investigate her, which would cause trouble for herself.
"Ten taels of silver?" The man was a little surprised by the reward she asked for. He didn't expect that she only wanted ten taels of silver.
Si He asked, "You don't have money?"
The man seemed to smile, and then he understood what she meant.
He glanced at his subordinate, who immediately took out a purse, and he gave her the entire purse.
"Thank you very much, girl."
Si He was not polite. She took the purse and put it in her pocket. "You're welcome."
After saying that, she stood up and looked out the window. It was quiet outside now, but it was only calm on the surface. Who knew if there was anyone still hiding in the dark?
However, she didn't plan to stay here for long.
She turned to look at the man in front of her again and said, "Since I took too much money from you, I will do you another small favor and lead those people away."
As she spoke, she looked at a man who looked like a guard and said, "Give me your cloak."
"This..." The guard looked at his master.
The man said, "There's no need to do this, girl."
Si He said: "I don't have time to stay here. Those people can't catch me."
When she spoke, she showed confidence in her own abilities.
Even so, he did not try to dissuade her any further, "Miss, be careful."
The guard took off his cloak and handed it to her.
She immediately put on the cloak to wrap herself more tightly, and even put on the hat and fastened it. From this perspective, you can't tell that she is a woman. Except for her shorter stature, she looks quite like his bodyguard.
After she was dressed, she walked to the darker window on the side. However, just as she reached the window, she heard him ask, "May I know your name, young lady?"
Si He turned to look at him, seeing his eyes that were similar to Ning Ji's, and said, "The surname is Ning."
After saying that, she jumped onto the window and then jumped out.
She was light and graceful, wearing a cloak, and she flew quickly in the dark night, like a swallow or a bat. In the blink of an eye, she flew to the roof in the distance and ran all the way.
Although I expected her to be skilled, I was still very surprised when I saw her in person.
"This girl's Qinggong is amazing!"
A guard looked at the receding figure and couldn't help but exclaimed with admiration on his face.
The man raised the corners of his lips, but before he could say anything, he heard screams coming from the streets in the distance.
Those who searched found her trace!
Hearing the sounds of pursuit and shouting, the people in the tower couldn't help but become nervous, but her figure quickly disappeared into the dark night without a trace.
The people in the nearby streets and alleys, as if they had discovered prey, quickly chased in the direction she left. For a moment, the noise was very loud, and the sounds of chasing and shouting were everywhere. Looking around, the streets and alleys were filled with moving torches and human figures.
She really led everyone away!
This risk is too great. Is it just for that bag of silver, or just to leave early?
Or maybe he really looks like someone she knew, so she helps him?
The man looked in the direction she left, his eyes deep.
……
On the other side, Si He leaped all the way, turned left and right, and quickly got rid of the group of people chasing him, then took a long detour and returned to his residence.
The house was silent, without any sign of unusual activity. After she came back quietly, she went to the kitchen first, took off her cloak, and threw it into the stove to burn.
Then he changed his clothes, washed up, and went back to the house.
The next day, the city began to conduct strict inspections again, which were much more severe than before.
However, Si He and Hong Dou stayed at home, so they could not feel the tense atmosphere outside.
However, the shop clerk who always delivered vegetables on time came a long time late. He said that he was stopped and checked by officials on the way, and because the inspection was very strict, he arrived so late.
Si He was not surprised by this. After all, something happened a few days ago, and there was a fire and death last night, and a "thief" ran away. How could he not investigate it strictly?
I guess the government officials must be furious.
