Chapter 106: Going into the Mountains to See Monsters
She was about to tease him a few more times, but the next moment, he turned over and pressed her down under him, hugging her tightly. He said, "It's getting late, let's get some rest."
"I haven't..." He finished asking.
Before she could finish her words, he sealed her lips.
His breath was a little hot, and there was a faint sense of oppression about him.
She closed her eyes. She gradually felt uncomfortable because of his kiss, especially after the kiss left her lips and gradually moved downwards.
"Cousin~"
She called out to him uncomfortably, and when she opened her eyes, there was confusion and coquettishness in them.
After a long time, he raised his head and kissed her cheek gently.
After a while, the wooden bed began to shake violently and creak, like the sound of the night wind outside blowing the broken doors and windows.
The candlelight in the room was swaying in the wind, and the candlelight flickered.
Tonight seems a little different from usual, even the light and shadow are particularly lingering.
……
Early in the morning, Si He was awakened by the disturbing crows' calls.
In the early mornings of the past, there were often crows cawing, but today there were especially many.
Si He frowned and turned over. Without opening her eyes, she nestled into his arms, shrank back, and pressed her little face against his chest, blocking one of her ears.
At this moment, Ning Ji also woke up. Seeing her like this, he couldn't help but curl his lips. He raised his hand and covered her other ear to help her cover up some of the noise.
Noticing his movements, Si He in his arms also curled the corners of her lips, and soon she fell asleep again.
After taking a nap, she woke up yawning. It was already noon.
Today, Ning Ji did not get up early, but slept with her until now.
"Not sleeping anymore?" he asked softly.
"Well, I don't want to sleep anymore."
He helped her up and helped her dress and wash, very carefully and gently.
After washing up, she sat in the yard and waited for him to make breakfast.
He didn't let her into the kitchen, fearing that the smell of smoke would bother her.
Whack~Whack~
A few more crows flew across the sky, cawing loudly. They were flying towards the village entrance.
This reminded Si He of the corpse in the house at the entrance of the village.
Crows eat carrion and are very sensitive to the smell of decay. The doors and windows of the house were wide open, and the smell of the corpse wafted around, naturally attracting them all.
Si He withdrew her gaze, picked up the water cup on the table, and drank the water thoughtfully.
After a while, a faint aroma of rice wafted from the kitchen.
Ning Ji used the flour he brought back from the city to make some steamed buns and cook a pot of porridge. He was very quick and efficient and quickly prepared the food.
He made a lot of steamed buns today, and from this detail, she realized what he might be planning for today.
Sure enough, before she even asked, he said to her, "I'm taking you into the mountains today. I might not be able to get food for lunch, so you'll have to eat some steamed buns."
"It's good to eat steamed buns." She likes to eat delicious food, but she is not picky about food. In the current situation, being able to eat steamed buns is considered good. There are many refugees outside who can't even eat steamed buns. Besides, everything he makes, even steamed buns, is delicious.
"Cousin, what are we doing in the mountains?"
He scooped her a bowl of rice porridge and said, "Eat first, I'll talk to you later."
"Ok."
After eating, he packed up the remaining steamed buns, and then took a pot of water. In addition, he also took a small bag containing the things he had refined last night.
Si He looked at it in confusion.
He said: "I'm going to show you a man, or rather, a monster."
Hearing this, her eyes widened instantly. Monster?
"What monster?"
He briefly told her what happened yesterday, and Si He was shocked.
She would not be surprised at all if Hu Qing turned into a zombie, but what made her feel strange was why he turned into a monster covered in scales?
Didn’t they say that Hu Qing was infected with corpse poison?
What happened to turn him into a monster?
"Cousin, you trapped him in the mountains?"
"Yeah." He responded, and then said, "I'll take you to see him today. Perhaps he will be a good helper for us."
helper?
She looked at him again in confusion, what did he want to do?
He smiled lightly, reached out and gently rubbed her head, and said: "He looks a little scary now, don't be afraid later, he won't hurt you."
"Hmm." She nodded.
Because they might be out for a long time today, Ning Ji took all the important things with him, packed them up, hung them on the horse's back, and then carried her on the horse.
Momo wanted to climb onto her wrist like before, but Ning Ji picked her up and put her on the saddle, leaving her coiled there.
It was now quite obedient to Ning Ji and didn't reject his actions. It was also a little full today, with a slightly bloated belly, and didn't feel like moving, so it just stayed still.
Thinking that they were about to leave, it hissed at the snakes in the yard, and the snakes immediately scattered away.
Seeing it like this, Si He didn't say anything, but just touched its belly gently. She didn't know what it had eaten, but its belly was so bloated.
It hissed at her twice and closed its eyes.
After Ning Ji held her and helped her sit down, he rode his horse towards the back mountain.
The weather is very good today, with bright sunshine and clear skies.
But after entering the forest on the back mountain, the feeling was completely different.
The forests here are particularly dense, surrounded by towering ancient trees. The sunlight shines through the treetops, but only casts a few dots of light.
The deeper you go into the forest, the gloomier it seems. It seems as if it is shrouded by an invisible shadow, making it look particularly eerie and terrifying.
After passing through a dense forest, there is a small valley. The place is shrouded in mist, and the grass and trees seem to be filled with a dull and depressing atmosphere.
When the mountain wind blows, it makes a humming sound due to the geographical environment, adding a bit of eerie atmosphere.
The talisman hanging around Si He's waist was shaking slightly. I don't know if it was caused by the horse's movement or because of the problem here?
She doesn't like this place because it feels spooky.
The yin energy here is much heavier than that in the deserted village. It is worthy of being the place where yin gathers as Ning Ji said.
roar~
Suddenly, a roar like that of a ferocious corpse came from the front, shrill and sharp, and particularly creepy.
This sound was somewhat different from the cries of the evil corpses she had heard before. This sound was more like that of a wild beast.
The horse became very restless and refused to move forward, and even wanted to retreat.
Mo Mo on the saddle suddenly opened his eyes, with a cold light in his eyes, and stared fixedly at the front.
Ning Ji pulled the reins, dismounted, and carried Si He down with him. He said, "We're here."
Si He looked ahead, but saw nothing but dense forests and valleys.
Ning Ji tied the horse next to a big tree, then took Si He's hand and walked forward.
The grass under my feet was covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves and dead branches, making it soft to step on.
