Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 280: Return to the Tianshan Mountains

After Ning Ji and Si He finished their meal, it was already bright and the sun was rising from the horizon.

Si He wore a veil hat and gloves on her hands, wrapped tightly.

Liu Mao glanced at her curiously. Although he had seen her dressed like this many times, he was still a little puzzled. Was she really afraid of getting tanned by the sun?

Suddenly, his mind came back to him, and he had a vague guess. Could it be that the one who practiced evil skills was not Ning Ji, but her?

Evil things like shade and fear sunlight, hiding during the day and coming out at night.

The more Liu Mao thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case!

Seeing that the two men had already mounted their horses, he also quickly mounted his horse and followed behind, suppressing his guesses and pretending to know nothing.

The three of them rode their horses forward, heading towards the Tianshan Mountains. However, since the horses were loaded with a lot of things, their speed was not very fast.

People who were resting in the nearby woods saw the three of them getting on their horses early to set off. They couldn't help but look at them sideways, with different expressions on their faces.

After the three men walked away, the people in the forest also set off one after another and headed towards Tianshan Mountain.

When Ning Ji and Si He entered the Tianshan Mountains, the sun had already risen high. However, the forests in the Tianshan Mountains were very dense, with many towering trees. The layers of treetops and branches blocked the sunlight, and only a few places had sporadic sunlight, adding some mottled light and shadow to the forest.

It is still quite cool when you enter the forest at this time, without the stuffy feeling outside.

This time, Liu Mao held a big knife and rode his horse in front to lead the way.

Si He lifted the curtain in front of her and placed it on the brim of her hat, looking at the scenery in the forest. With the dense branches and leaves blocking her view, she was not so worried.

A year later, she came to the Tianshan Mountains again, but her situation was different from when she first came in.

Looking back on what happened this year, she felt quite emotional, especially those dangerous situations.

I hope this trip to Tianshan will be fruitful and have a safe journey.

The horses shuttled through the forest, startling many small animals and sending birds flying along the way, but they had not encountered any ferocious beasts. After all, this was only in the outer area.

It was not until they had ridden for half a day and were deep in the mountains and forests that they began to encounter wild beasts such as tigers.

Ning Ji killed a tiger and rested on the spot. He skinned the tiger and roasted the meat, with Liu Mao helping him.

It was a huge tiger with shiny and smooth fur. When Ning Ji killed it, he tried his best not to damage the integrity of the tiger skin, so he was able to peel off such a beautiful tiger skin. Liu Mao's eyes lit up when he saw it.

Si He also thought that this was the most beautiful tiger skin she had ever seen, even more beautiful than the tiger skin she had seen in the bandit's lair.

But she was not idle either, helping to pick up some dead branches nearby.

During this time, some small wild animals occasionally came over smelling the blood. Ning Ji asked Liu Mao to fight them off, so he had to pick up his knife to drive away all the dangerous creatures around him and kill them if he could.

Fortunately, it was not a group of wild beasts attacking, otherwise it would be really troublesome.

While we were barbecuing, a group of people came. They were a group of medicine hunters who had camped outside Tianshan Mountain before. Unexpectedly, they also came here. I guess they followed the path they took. After all, this place is safer. The branches blocking the way have been cleared away along the way, so it is easier to follow them.

However, after arriving here, these people did not stop, but only looked at them and continued to move forward. In this desolate mountain and wilderness, sometimes people are more dangerous than beasts, so they were cautious and did not get close to them.

Although they were a team looking for medicine, they were fully equipped. They all carried swords and some even carried bows. They all looked quite skilled.

The group rode their horses slowly and talked in low voices.

"That tiger skin is so beautiful! It could fetch a lot of silver. Wow, what good luck!"

"Haha~ Good luck? If you have the ability, come and hunt one. That tiger is quite big. If you really meet one, you will probably turn around and run away, haha~"

"Hmph~ If you come across one, don't run away. Go hunt one yourself. Then I'll admire you!"

"You two should stop talking nonsense. If you're going to spend that much time hunting tigers, you might as well find a valuable medicinal herb and save yourself some effort."

"Tsk~ Do you think the most valuable medicinal herb is cabbage? Is it that easy to find?"

……

The voices of talking gradually faded away, and soon, the group of people disappeared into the dense forest.

At this moment, the smell of barbecued meat became stronger and stronger. Si He looked at Ning Ji with burning eyes as he added spices and salt to the barbecued meat. For a moment, the smell became even more tempting. She had never eaten tiger meat before!

Liu Mao also opened his eyes wide and looked at it, almost drooling at the smell.

At this time, another group of people came from the woods behind, following the same path they had taken before. They were also a group of people looking for medicine.

Si He looked at them with some confusion. What good medicinal herbs could these people find by following others? If they had just entered the forest, it would be fine, but now that they were deep in the mountains, there was no need to follow others, right?

She could understand the group just now, but she didn't believe that this group didn't know that the person ahead was a group of people looking for medicine?

As she looked at them, they also looked at her with ferocious expressions. They didn't look like ordinary people looking for medicine, but more like robbers.

Si He narrowed her eyes slightly, and her hand subconsciously reached for the dagger at her waist.

Ning Ji also raised his eyes and looked at the group of people not far away, his eyes slightly cold.

When Liu Mao looked up at these people, his nerves tensed up immediately because he smelled a familiar scent, the unique scent of bandits. He was also a little puzzled. What were bandits doing in this deep forest? There were only a few people there, and it was so dangerous. Were they robbing herbalists?

At this time, some terrified shouts suddenly came from the deep forest in the distance. However, due to the distance, they were not very clear, but it could be felt that those people were in danger, perhaps attacked by wild beasts, or perhaps encountered something else.

The group of people not far away immediately drew their swords and knives, all of them tensed up and looked in the direction of the sound coming from deep in the woods, but they did not move rashly and all stayed where they were.

Many birds were startled by the calls and flew away in a panic.

The terrified screams from the depths of the forest continued for a long time before gradually dying down and becoming completely silent. No one knew what was happening.

Ning Ji, Si He and Liu Mao had no intention of going to check what happened to those people. It was normal to encounter danger here. Since they had the courage to come, they had to be prepared to bear any consequences.

"go!"

After one of the men in the group gave an order, they immediately rode their horses forward and ran deep into the forest, no longer caring about Ning Ji and the others.

Si He looked at the man who was protected in the middle of the group. He was the one who spoke just now. It seemed that he was the leader of the group. But his temperament looked a little different. He looked very weak, like a scholar. His figure was blocked before, so no one noticed him much. But when he spoke and galloped on his horse, the difference was obvious.
