Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 289 Time to sleep

Five hundred taels of gold, even a thousand-year-old ginseng is not that expensive!

He had felt something was strange before, that all the bandits went into Tianshan to look for medicine. This was not right, it turned out they were looking for this medicine!

This guy is definitely here to look for gold!

If I could find one, I'd be rich. If I could find a few, well...

This job really makes money, no wonder so many people are attracted here!

Liu Mao took the things and walked towards the valley. As he walked, he couldn't help but look at the patterns on the drawings and marveled at them.

After returning to the valley, he handed the purchase order to Ning Ji.

When Ning Ji saw the information above, his eyes darkened slightly. Finally, he just asked Liu Mao to pay attention to the movements outside, and if he met someone looking for medicine, he could ask for some useful information.

Liu Mao was a little disappointed. He thought he could leave here as soon as possible, even to look for medicine, but Ning Ji still had no intention of leaving, and Si He had not come out of the cave for many days. He didn't know what was going on, but he didn't dare to ask more.

Ning Ji walked back to the cave. At this time, Si He was still sleeping.

This time, she slept longer than before, for more than ten days.

The body of the living dead is sensitive to evil spirits. In addition to the nourishment of spiritual essence, evil spirits are also indispensable. When awake, the body will involuntarily absorb the evil spirits around it.

There are both advantages and disadvantages to absorbing evil energy.

If spiritual essence nourishes the body and provides energy, then the evil spirit makes the body stronger, just like Jiang Yuan in the past, whose physical strength was beyond the scope of normal people, and the same was true for those black-clothed guards.

But if you absorb too much, the evil energy will settle and the surface of your body will slowly change, just like those black-clad guards who became neither human nor ghost, including Jiang Yuan, who also became horrifying.

Although Si He had taken two dragon spirit flowers before, Ning Ji had been using many medicines to recuperate her body and assisted with acupuncture to keep her looking normal.

But if this goes on for a long time, your body will eventually show signs of abnormality.

Sleeping was her body's instinctive response, or rather, the reaction of the living dead.

Drowsiness and fatigue are signs of falling asleep. In the early stages, there is less Yin Sha Qi deposited in the body, so the sleeping time is short. However, as the body gradually adapts to the Yin Sha Qi, the amount absorbed increases, which makes the sleeping time longer.

But sleeping is not a bad thing. It is something that must happen after becoming a living dead.

When you become a living dead, the time you spend sleeping is often much longer than the time you spend awake.

Now, her condition has completely stabilized. The only problem is the sleeping time.

Ning Ji sat beside Si He, looking at her sleeping face. After a while, he took out a slightly wet handkerchief and wiped her face and hands.

The cave was simple and had no curtains to cover it. If it was not wiped every day, a thin layer of dust would accumulate on her body.

Ning Ji had just finished wiping her when he saw her eyelids move and she slowly breathed through her nose. She finally woke up.

After a while, she slowly opened her eyes and saw Ning Ji sitting next to her, looking at her gently, "Are you awake?"

"Yeah." After a good sleep, she felt refreshed and much more comfortable. She propped herself up with her hands and was about to sit up when Ning Ji helped her up.

Although she was in good spirits after waking up, she sat up and leaned lazily against him as usual, with her arms around his neck, and asked, "Husband, how long have I been sleeping?"

Ning Ji put down the handkerchief, put his arm around her, rested his chin on her head, and said, "It's been twelve days."

Hearing this, she was a little surprised. She knew that he might sleep for a long time. The last time he slept for three days, but she didn't expect that he slept for twelve days this time!

"Why are the sleeping times getting longer and longer?"

She was a little worried. This time it was twelve days, but what about next time? Would it be longer?

Ning Ji asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"

She shook her head and replied, "I'm not uncomfortable. I slept well."

He said, "That's good. Your physique is different from that of ordinary people now. It's normal for you to sleep for a longer time. Perhaps next time, it will be even longer."

Hearing him say this, she frowned slightly.

"Are you thirsty? Are you hungry?" Ning Ji asked while lowering his head and looking at her face.

When she was sleeping before, her face was pale and bloodless, but now that she has woken up, her face has slowly regained its rosiness. Although it still looks a little pale, it is already very good.

She looked up at him and said, "It's okay, I want to take a shower."

Thinking that she had slept for more than ten days, she felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to take a shower.

Ning Ji's lips curved up, then he leaned down, kissed her on the lips, and said, "Okay."

It was broad daylight, but the afternoon sun could not reach this side. The valley was very cool, and no one was staying nearby for the time being, so Ning Ji carried Si He and walked out of the cave.

Although she was not feeling unwell and had strength, he insisted on carrying her, so she was too lazy to walk and just snuggled in his arms, letting him carry her.

The two of them came out of the cave. Liu Mao, who was lying at the edge of the woods, saw this and couldn't help but widen his eyes. It had been more than ten days, and this was the first time he saw Si He come out of the cave!

He thought something had happened, but Ning Ji's attitude was not anxious at all, which made him a little confused. Unexpectedly, it came out now.

Looking at the direction the two people left, they were heading to the gloomy valley next door. He had been to that valley before, and there were a lot of poisonous insects, snakes and ants there!

It was extremely dark and eerie, so he didn't dare go too deep and hurried out. He still remembered the scene where those people who had approached there were bitten by insects and snakes. Only Ning Ji and Si He liked to go here.

Soon, the two disappeared into the dark valley. Liu Mao withdrew his gaze. Holding a piece of grass in his mouth, he thought to himself, "Since Si He doesn't look like she's in trouble, should we leave soon? I can't stay here forever, right?"

The rice is almost gone, and there is only enough for a few days at most. If this continues, we can only eat wild vegetables and game from the mountains.

After a long time, Ning Ji and Si He came out of the dark valley. They had changed their clothes and their hair was still wet. It was obvious that they had gone there to take a bath.

Liu Mao curled his lips. It was a damn place, most people wouldn't go there to take a bath, but considering that Si He was a woman, he could understand it.

After the two came back, Si He took the washed clothes back to the cave to dry them, while Ning Ji asked Liu Mao to pick up dead branches and make a fire to cook.

Liu Mao quickly got up and went to work. While making a fire, he tentatively reminded, "Boss, there's not much rice left. It can only last for two more days at most."

Ning Ji glanced at him indifferently, replied with a "hmm", and said nothing more.
