Chapter 213 Si Rong
Chapter 213 Si Rong
"How can you be so cold-blooded? I am your sister after all! Cough cough cough ~ If I hadn't kindly asked someone to collect your body and transport you out of the city, would you have escaped? Cough cough cough ~"
Si Rong was a little excited as she spoke, but she was not feeling well and started coughing when she spoke too much.
Speaking of this, Si He sneered, but still took out ten taels of silver and threw it to her, "You'd better take care of yourself. I am just this cold-blooded. Don't expect me to care about your life or death in the future."
Ten taels of silver is not a lot, but it is not a small amount either. It is enough for her to live for a while. If she is given too much, she will not be able to keep it.
After saying that, he and Ning Ji turned around and left, walking towards the inn.
Si Rong watched the two people walk away, anger appearing on her face. She cursed in a low voice, "Bitch, bastard! They are all heartless and ruthless people! Cough cough cough ~"
After a while, Si He and Ning Ji disappeared in an inn not far away.
Si Rong looked at the inn, thought for a while, then turned and left. She first went to a nearby shop to buy some suitable clothes, then went to eat something, and came back to the inn later!
In a restaurant not far away, several people who were watching watched this scene with flickering eyes, and then one of them was assigned to keep an eye on the purchased female slave.
In the inn, Si He only just now thought of the people who were following her. "Husband, do you think those people will target Si Rong?"
Judging from the way those people are following them now, they may not let go of anyone who has any connection with them.
"If the matter becomes too serious, it will happen," he said.
Si He pursed her lips when she heard this, then he continued, "Whether you buy her or not, the result will be the same. From the moment she called out to you, she has been noticed by those people. Even if you don't buy her, they will."
Hearing him say this, her expression became even worse. "Then, won't they find out about our background?"
After she and Ning Ji came to Beisha Kingdom, they used fake identities, but Si Rong knew that they were wanted criminals in Dayan Kingdom and knew some things.
Ning Ji patted her head and said, "It's alright if they know. Now that the two countries are at war, even if they know something, they can't do anything without evidence. Besides, this is Beisha Country, not Dayan Country. They are just merchants and don't have that much power."
Si He's expression softened slightly, and she looked up at him. "But they will cause us more trouble. We don't know what happened after they took the bronze tripod. Should we arrest someone and interrogate them first?"
Ning Ji took her hand, walked to the bedside and sat down. He took out the medicine bottle and said, "It's not certain who will cause trouble to whom. As for arresting them, there's no rush. They will come to your door later. Take the medicine first. You don't look well. Are you feeling unwell?"
She looked a little pale now, worse than when she went out.
Hearing him ask this, she felt it carefully and found that it was fine. She was just a little dizzy when she was basking in the sun before, but now she is fine. She shook her head and said, "Nothing."
Ning Ji frowned slightly, fed her the medicine, and then took her pulse.
Si He sat still obediently. Seeing his slightly serious expression, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous. It wasn't until he withdrew his hand that she asked, "What's wrong with me?"
"It's no big deal. You just took the medicine. Now rest for a while." He smiled at her gently.
"Okay." Now she feels a little sleepy every time after taking the medicine, but she thought carefully and realized that she took the medicine the night before yesterday in Zhuangjia Town. Logically, it is not the time to take the medicine yet. Generally, she takes the medicine once every three days or so. Now she takes the medicine in advance. Is there something wrong with her body again?
Ning Ji bent down and took off her shoes with gentle and delicate movements.
She gradually felt sleepy. She had originally returned to the inn to let him rest for a while, but now she had to rest instead.
She lay on the bed, sideways, facing Ning Ji.
He patted her back gently and whispered, "Go to sleep."
She then closed her eyes, and soon fell asleep with shallow breathing.
Seeing that she fell asleep, Ning Ji's expression became solemn again.
Now the effect of the pills on her body is gradually weakening. If this continues, it is not a good sign.
And there is not much spiritual essence left.
It seems that we have to hurry up.
……
Elsewhere, Si Rong had just walked into a clothing store when she was yelled at by the waiter, "Get out of here, you lowly slave! This isn't the place for you!"
The main thing is that Si Rong is now dressed like a beggar, with dirty and torn clothes. Not only is her hair and face unkempt, but there is also the word "slave" carved on her face. It is obvious that she is a lowly slave, and no one knows from whose house she escaped. Naturally, the waiter doesn't like her.
Si Rong was furious and shouted angrily, "I have money! Don't look down on me!"
After saying that, she took out the ten taels of silver.
Seeing that she really had money, the waiter finally relaxed his expression and did not chase her out. However, for someone like her, the waiter could not be enthusiastic. For the sake of money, he patiently asked: "What would you like to buy, sir?"
Only then did Si Rong walk into the shop with her head held high, look at the clothes in the store and ask about the prices.
There were some other customers in the store at this time, but wherever Si Rong went, they all stepped back a distance, looked at her with contempt, and whispered to each other. It was obvious that they didn't want to get too close to her and were very disgusted with her.
The waiter was also holding back his anger. If it weren't for the small amount of money he wanted to earn, he would have kicked the person out long ago. It was really disturbing to the customers.
The waiter had no choice but to deal with her and quote prices for all the ready-made clothes she pointed out, hoping to make a quick deal and leave.
Most of the ready-made clothes here are quite expensive. In the end, Si Rong only chose a set of ordinary coarse clothes, the cheapest one.
The main reason is that she doesn't have much money, so she has to spend it sparingly first. She will have to eat and stay in an inn later, which will cost money.
When the waiter saw that she bought the cheapest item, he couldn't help but curse inwardly, then quickly handed the clothes to her and completed the transaction.
Si Rong paid the silver, changed into new clothes, and left the clothing shop.
After she changed her clothes and walked on the street, there were suddenly fewer people pointing and talking at her, which was why she came to buy clothes in the first place.
After all, a beggar-looking slave is not welcome anywhere.
She found a snack stall on the street, ordered a bowl of noodles, and ate with hearty mouthfuls. She had lost her usual elegance and the way she ate was no different from a beggar on the street.
This was mainly because she had been afraid of being hungry for some time, and now that she could eat hot noodles, she naturally gobbled them up.
Thinking back on her experiences in recent years, she was filled with bitter tears.
After escaping from the valley with those bandits, she was sold by those bastards and ended up in Beisha Country. From then on, she was completely unlucky. She was sold to a wealthy family, but the family was incredibly cruel and would often beat and scold her. After tormenting her for several months, she was sold again.
