Chapter 374 Pursuit.
At this moment, Hongdou's stomach suddenly started to growl. It was already noon, so she was naturally hungry.
In the past, Hongdou was very resistant to hunger, but in the past half month, he has had full meals every day, and his appetite has become a little pampered. He wants to eat as soon as it is time for dinner.
Hongdou looked at Si He with an embarrassed look on her face, and then she said, "Order something to eat."
Hearing this, Hongdou nodded happily, "Okay, Miss."
The two of them ordered two bowls of noodles and some snacks, and without caring about the master-servant relationship, they sat opposite each other and ate.
While the two were eating, a man from the restaurant opposite looked over here, looked at Si He's profile with deep eyes.
Si He could sense the undisguised gaze without even looking.
Nowadays, any beautiful woman walking on the street like this will attract a lot of attention.
During this morning, she gradually got used to this kind of scrutiny. Fortunately, she didn't meet anyone who was too aggressive. If she hadn't been in a hurry to find someone, she would have left long ago.
As for the old man in the restaurant across the street, she had noticed him before, but she hadn't paid much attention to him at first. But for some reason, she still felt that he was somewhat familiar, but she couldn't place him. Moreover, the way he looked at her was different from others, as if...
Suddenly, Si He stopped eating, narrowed his eyes, and concentrated on thinking.
Seeing this, Hongdou, who was sitting opposite her, stopped and looked at her in confusion. What was going on?
Si He slowly put down her chopsticks, took out a handkerchief, wiped her mouth, then turned to look at the people in the restaurant opposite.
At this moment, the man in the restaurant was also looking at her, and their eyes met.
Compared to Si He's cold and indifferent expression at this moment, the man's expression gradually changed, and began to go from solemn to frightened.
When Si He saw the old man's expression change, she confirmed her guess. It seemed that she had really met an acquaintance.
She looked away, looked at Hongdou's puzzled look, and gave her a piece of silver. "You can go back by yourself. You don't have to follow me."
After saying that, Si He stood up and left.
After walking out of the teahouse, she stopped and looked up at the restaurant opposite, her eyes slightly darker.
She was about to walk towards the restaurant opposite, but she paused and subconsciously touched the bone beads in her pocket. Although there was a cloth bag between them, she could sense a subtle guidance from the bone beads. Her expression suddenly froze and she looked to the side.
Everywhere you look, you see people passing by.
At this time, the bone bead's reaction was not as strong as before, and the distance was obviously farther, but with the accurate direction, she immediately ran quickly to the street on the side.
Her jog immediately attracted many people's attention.
Hongdou stood by the window of the teahouse, stretched her head out to look at Si He's back, and became more and more curious. What was she looking for?
At this time, a group of people hurried down from the restaurant opposite and ran in that direction. Such a sudden action seemed to be chasing Si He!
When Hongdou saw this, she immediately widened her eyes and became a little nervous. It was obvious that someone was targeting her!
After a while, those people turned the corner and disappeared. Hongdou was anxious, but did not dare to move. She could only stay there and pray that they might not be heading towards Si He and that nothing would happen to them.
the other side.
Si He jogged all the way and soon reached the city gate.
It seems that the direction is outside the city.
At this time, there were many people leaving the city and the line was quite long. Si He had no choice but to follow the line and leave the city.
But because she was queuing alone to leave the city and had an outstanding appearance, many people around her were looking at her. After all, in this place, few girls would go out alone, let alone someone like her.
Even a maid like Hongdou rarely went out, let alone left the city.
Therefore, many people have already set their sights on her.
When she was checking outside the city, the soldiers and officials guarding the city couldn't help but look at her. Some kind-hearted ones even reminded her not to leave the city and go home.
But she was still determined to leave the city, and the officer had no choice but to let her go after checking her.
Sure enough, as soon as she left the city, many people followed her, each with their own plans.
But, what was unexpected was that after leaving the city, she started running again, as if she was in a hurry to go somewhere, and as if she was being chased by someone, running very fast.
At this time, after Si He left the city, she quickly ran towards the mountains and forests in the west. Although the bone beads pointed to the south, there were many people following her, so she could only shake them off!
After entering the forest, she felt like a fish in water. With the dense trees as shelter, she used her lightness skills to fly quickly. After a while, her figure disappeared in the forest.
The people who were following her were stunned. They didn't expect her to run into the forest and run faster than a rabbit!
In just a moment, the person disappeared!
It’s incredible!
Even those who had chased out of the restaurant were a little surprised, for they realized that the girl was no ordinary person.
Helplessly, everyone ran away, and some people had to give up, but there were still some people who refused to give up and continued to go deeper into the mountains and forests, as if they were determined to find the girl.
At this moment, Si He walked through the mountains and forests for a distance, then turned south.
However, when she took out the bone bead again and sensed it carefully, there was no response again!
She stamped her feet in anxiety, but was helpless.
At this time, the sky was still gloomy and the wind was stronger. She stood at the edge of the woods, her long hair and clothes were blown by the wind, fluttering gently.
She looked towards the south, where there were towns and villages. After thinking about it, she decided to walk towards that direction.
After leaving the forest, she no longer used her lightness skills as it was too conspicuous.
As she walked along and passed some fields, the farmers working there couldn't help but look at her.
Although the clothes she was wearing were not very luxurious, the materials were good. Liu Mao had someone buy them for her before. Even with this simple outfit, she looked like a lady from a wealthy family, and was out of tune with everything around her.
After all, what kind of young lady would appear in this place alone, not to mention with such beauty, so she is particularly eye-catching.
Si He felt helpless about all these stares. She had left in a hurry today and she couldn't care less about so many things.
She quickened her pace and walked towards the town.
As the sky was gloomy and it looked like a heavy rain was coming, people on the road were in a hurry.
Si He looked up at the sky, but the bone beads in her pocket still didn't respond, so she had to find a place to stay first.
However, after entering the town, she keenly noticed some unusual prying eyes.
In an instant, she became alert.
She glanced around casually and naturally, without stopping. Just with this one glance, she could feel the vigilance and precautions from those prying eyes.
This town is unusual.
"Wow~"
A heavy rain suddenly fell, and the pedestrians on the street began to jog. Si He also quickly walked into the largest restaurant nearby.
At this moment, there were many guests in the restaurant and the noise was quite loud, but after Si He stepped into the lobby, the entire lobby suddenly became much quieter, and many people looked at her with different eyes.
An indifferent gaze also glanced over at the elegant seat on the second floor.
