Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 314: Jar after jar of wine

There was silence in the new house.

Ning Ji sat in the yard and looked at one side of the house. That was the house where she slept, which was built specifically for her.

Since the beginning of this deep sleep, Ning Ji could no longer stay with her as closely as before every day. In order to have a good body and live longer, he could only stay away from her and wait for her to wake up.

He returned to his solitary life. Compared to the hustle and bustle of the past, the sudden quietness made him a little uncomfortable.

He resisted the urge to push the door open to see her, and instead did other things to distract himself, such as practicing martial arts in the yard, refining medicine, cleaning the house and yard, and doing odd jobs, busying himself.

The days passed quietly, and when the first snow fell in winter, he sat by the fire, looking at the snow scene outside, and suddenly felt that this year was much colder than last year.

The snow kept falling, and the winter was cold and quiet.

This winter seemed very long, and he felt that it took a very long time before spring came.

The weather warms up in spring, and it is the season when all things come back to life. As the days go by, Mo Mo wakes up, and the plum tree planted in the yard slowly grows tender green branches and leaves, and then becomes lush.

Until the summer came, half a year later, she still hadn't woken up.

He often looked at the quiet door, feeling sad.

Not surprisingly, her sleeping time really got longer again.

But there is no choice but to wait.

As time passed, the plum tree in the yard grew bigger and bigger, and the flowers bloomed and fell.

Ning Ji uses the plums that are harvested every year to make wine, which has a sweet taste. She makes a jar of wine a year so that she can taste it when she wakes up.

There were jars of wine piled up one after another.

But as the number of wine jars accumulated grew, she still slept soundly.

Since plum wine can't be stored for a long time, the taste will not be so good after a few years, so Ning Ji can only drink the one he brewed before.

When he was preparing to brew plum wine for the fourteenth time, he finally heard the long-lost voice.

"Husband..."

The yard was slowly moving, with branches swaying and rustling, and he felt as if he were hallucinating.

His hand that was picking plums paused, his body stiffened slightly, and the next moment, that familiar voice came again.

"Husband."

He quickly turned around and saw the figure he had missed for a long time appear in the doorway not far away.

More than ten years have passed, and her face is still the same, still so beautiful and charming, exactly the same as before she fell asleep, but he has become a little more vicissitudes of life, and his once jet-black hair has a few strands of white. The years have left obvious marks on him.

When Si He saw him like this, her heart suddenly ached. She tried hard to smile, but she couldn't. Then, her mouth drooped and tears began to fall.

Ning Ji hurriedly ran towards her. When he got to her, he reached out his hand and gently wiped away her tears. "Why are you crying?"

His voice also became a little deeper, but still revealed a strong sense of doting and tenderness.

As soon as she finished speaking, she threw herself into his arms, trying her best not to make any sound. She didn't want to cry, but her tears were disobedient. The emotions in her heart were fluctuating violently, making her very uncomfortable. She could only hug him tightly to feel a little better.

Ning Ji then held her tightly in his arms, and the loneliness in his heart slowly dissipated.

He patted her back gently, and coaxed her in a low voice as he did before, "He He, don't cry."

She cried in his arms for a long time. When she calmed down, she slowly raised her head and looked at his face.

Carved by the years, his face had more wrinkles, making him look more mature but also more weathered than before she fell asleep. He was no longer a young man, but a mature man. However, he was still handsome, and the mature aura on him had a unique charm.

With red eyes and a hoarse voice, she asked him, "Husband, how long have I slept this time?"

She was nervous and a little scared.

He reached out and rubbed her head, looking at her gently, and said truthfully: "Fifteen years."

The plum tree that was planted only bore fruit a year later, but now it has borne fruit fourteen times.

Hearing this, her eyes turned red again, but no more tears fell. At this moment, she was very thirsty and uncomfortable, but it was far less painful than the pain in her heart.

fifteen years!

She actually slept for fifteen years!

In fact, she had made some predictions when she saw Ning Ji's appearance, but she was still a little overwhelmed when she heard the answer.

How many fifteen years are there in his life?

How painful must he have been during these fifteen years of long waiting?

And she just felt like she had a long sleep.

Ning Ji lowered his head, kissed her eyes, and coaxed her with a smile, "Waking up is a good thing. He He should be happy."

She tried her best to suppress the discomfort in her heart, calmed down her mind, and nodded, "Yeah."

He then asked, "Are you thirsty? Let me pour you some water."

Si He responded in a hoarse voice, "Okay."

After saying that, Ning Ji picked her up, walked to a room on the side, and poured her some water to drink.

After drinking some water, Si He felt much more comfortable. After a while, her body slowly regained its strength.

"Are you feeling unwell?" Ning Ji asked while carefully observing her complexion and checking her condition. After all, she had slept for too long this time.

Si He shook her head and said, "I'm not feeling uncomfortable. I'm fine."

Ning Ji reached out to feel her pulse, and seeing that she was indeed fine, he felt relieved. "I'll go boil some water for you to take a bath, and then make you something to eat. Do you still want some meat porridge?"

During the more than ten years that she had been sleeping, she was actually wrapped tightly, without any dust on her. She was not dirty, and there was no peculiar smell. However, her clothes had a heavy smell, after all, it had been a long time.

He didn't mind it, but he knew that she had to take a shower every time she woke up, so he asked.

When Si He heard him say this, she noticed that the smell of her clothes was a bit strong. After waking up, she was in a hurry to come out to see him, and then she was so emotional that she ignored it.

"it is good."

Ning Ji kissed her forehead and carried her towards the kitchen, not intending to leave her alone in the house.

It's a cloudy day today, so don't worry about the sun or an umbrella, it's pretty good weather.

It is May now and it is still quite cool. When I go out of the house, there is a cool breeze.

Si He caught a glimpse of the plum tree in the yard. When it was first planted, it was a small tree. Now it has grown into a lush tree with thicker trunks. The tree is full of green plums, and the whole yard is filled with the unique fragrance of plums.

There was a basket under the tree, filled with some green plums. Ning Ji had been picking them there before, but was interrupted by her.

Ning Ji followed her gaze, glanced over there, and said with a smile, "The plums are in good shape this year. I'm going to make some more plum wine. I've made it every year before. You'll be able to drink it when you wake up. Plum wine tastes sweet and sour. You should like it. I'll pour some for you to try later."
