Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 173 Fight in the Inn

"I heard that many people go to that town to scavenge, and some have made quite a bit of money in the past few days. It's a pity I don't have that kind of skills, otherwise I would have gone with them."

"What are you picking up?"

"Tsk~ You've seen too much, haven't you? Do you think such a strange place can attract so many Taoists? No one is stupid enough to work for nothing. Everyone in that town is dead. What are you going to collect? Of course, they're going to loot the property left behind by the dead."

"No way? The government doesn't care?"

"How can we control this? Should we surround the town? Those officials don't know how to exorcise evil spirits. If we leave them alone, what if the evil spirits in the town bring harm to the surrounding villages?"

"No wonder I've been seeing people asking about going to Zhuangjia Town these days. I initially thought they were just out to watch the fun, but it turns out they're out to pick up some goodies."

"Hey~ I heard there are a few wealthy families in that town, very rich. I really envy those Taoist priests who perform exorcism. They make money quickly. They can earn more in one day than we can in several years."

"Who says it isn't?"

……

Si He was extremely surprised when she heard the conversations of the diners around her. Were all the people in Zhuangjia Town dead?

Originally, she thought that those Taoists and government officials were only harming one family as they had done before, but she didn't expect that their ambitions were so great.

Ning Ji poured her a cup of tea. Hearing the conversations around him, his face remained calm, but when his eyelids drooped slightly, a hint of obscure light flashed in his eyes.

She picked up the teacup, took a sip, thought for a moment, and said, "Husband, can we stay in this city for a few more days?"

Although she might not be able to intervene in such a matter, she still wanted to know what happened next in Zhuangjia Town. She wanted to know whether those people would give up or...

Ning Ji looked up at her and smiled faintly, "Okay."

Soon, the waiter brought the dishes that had been ordered one after another. Si He ate silently. There were too many people around, so some things were not convenient to say.

It wasn't until they left the restaurant and found an inn to stay that she discussed the matter with Ning Ji. "Husband, do you find the situation in Zhuangjia Town a little strange? Logically speaking, the government officials and those Taoists saw that town as a place to profit. How can they allow others to interfere and share the profits now?"

"Perhaps, there is another plan." Ning Ji put down his bag and looked at Si He. "If you are interested, we can go and take a look."

She looked at him with confusion. He said to go and see, that might not mean just standing by and watching. "What do you want to do?"

He smiled and said, "Perhaps there will be a chance to rid the people of this evil."

People from harm?

She blinked. "Didn't you say we wouldn't interfere?"

After all, this matter has the background of the government and the interests of many Taoists. If she intervenes rashly, it will be very troublesome. She still knows this clearly.

"There are many people going to that town nowadays. We are just passing by, so we don't need to interfere."

Hearing his words, her eyes lit up and she sat next to him, "Shall we go tomorrow?"

The smile on his lips deepened a little, and he picked her up and sat her on his lap, "As you say."

She put her arm around his neck and asked curiously, "Everyone in that town is dead. There must be a lot of evil spirits. Will it be very troublesome?"

"Let's see what happens first." He rubbed her head and was about to say something else when there was a sudden loud noise outside, as if someone was fighting.

She curiously got off Ning Ji's legs, walked quickly to the window, opened it, and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

Ning Ji couldn't help but smile as he looked at her back as she hurried to watch the excitement.

Outside the window was the inner courtyard of the inn, which was quite spacious. Two men were fighting at the moment. Neither side used any weapons, but fought with bare hands. Each punch was powerful and the fight was quite intense.

Both of them looked like people from the underworld, and she rarely saw such fierce fighting.

Around the yard, there were many tenants like her who were watching the fun, and they were whispering about the two people's moves.

The two big men were fighting each other with fierce attacks. Without any exchange of words, they just tried their best to defeat each other.

Si He looked thoughtfully for a while, then glanced at the people around the yard. Sure enough, there were two sides looking at each other with obvious hostility. They occasionally looked at the two people fighting in the yard, as if those two people were sent by each of them to compete with each other.

On one side, there was a man she had seen before, the man with the joker card whom she had met in the black shop before.

Because she had a deep impression of the joker at that time, she still remembered the man's face. She didn't expect to meet him again here.

The man seemed to notice her gaze and quickly looked up at her.

Si He didn't expect his senses to be so sharp. After just a brief glance, he discovered her.

At the same time, what surprised her was that at the moment he looked at her, the talisman on her waist suddenly swayed slowly!

She silently shifted her gaze to look at the two people fighting in the yard, no longer looking at the man.

At this moment, Ning Ji walked over and glanced at the shaking talisman indifferently.

He walked to the window. Si He looked at him, knowing that he must have noticed something was wrong and came over. She raised her hand, covering her mouth, and whispered to him, "Husband, the man with the joker card we met in the black shop is also here."

"Yeah." Ning Ji responded and looked at the man in the yard who was looking at him.

Zhao Laoxie met Ning Ji's gaze, smiled politely, and looked kind. Then he opened the folding fan in his hand and fanned it slowly, looking like a handsome young man.

Ning Ji shifted his gaze and looked at the two people fighting in the yard.

There were two tall men, one in black and the other in green. At this time, the man in green had gradually fallen into a disadvantage and switched from offense to defense. He was hit hard several times and spit out blood, but he still persisted.

But if this continues, the man in blue will surely be defeated.

The smile on Zhao Laoxie's face gradually faded, and his expression became a little cold. It was obvious that the big man in green was his man.

He put away the fan, held it in his hand and tapped it occasionally, his eyes staring intently at the big man in green clothes not far away.

The next moment, the big man in green suddenly shook his body, and then as if he had been injected with chicken blood, his momentum suddenly increased and his attack was fierce.

"Ah!" The big man in green roared and rushed towards the other party with his fists.

Although the big man in black tried his best to defend and dodge, he dodged one move but failed to dodge the second one and was hit hard.

This punch was different from the previous ones. It inexplicably made his blood surge, and an intense pain instantly swept through his body. His feet were unstable, and he lost his balance and fell down.

After falling to the ground, he spat out a mouthful of blood and his face was as pale as paper, which showed how badly he was injured by the punch.

Si He narrowed her eyes slightly and noticed something strange. At the same time, the talisman on her waist shook even more violently.
