I’m Being Held Captive by Demons Chapter 121: I can’t go back

After chatting with Wan'er about the situation in the city for a while, Kong Ning decided to go out for a walk.

However, as soon as he walked out of Hua Shu Alley, he saw many bamboo baskets and gifts piled up at the entrance of the alley, as high as a hill.

There are also dedicated guards nearby.

Seeing Kong Ning coming out, people were all in high spirits and stepped forward one after another.

"Ning Zhaotou, you are out!"

"Thank you Ning Zhaotou, you saved the lives of seven members of my family!"

"Ning Zhaotou, thank you..."

Soon, Kong Ning was surrounded by the alley of Huaishu Alley. Many nearby residents who heard the news of Kong Ning's exit came one after another and expressed their gratitude to Kong Ning excitedly.

And the piles of bamboo baskets, gifts, and local specialties at the entrance of the alley and as high as a hill were all sent by residents of the city during the period of Kongning retreat.

The enthusiastic villagers made Kong Ning a little embarrassed, and hurriedly dealt with it. Seeing people running on the street in the distance, it seems that more and more people are rushing here.

Kong Ning hurriedly excused himself to go back and continue to retreat, so he escaped back to his home in Huaishu Lane.

In the yard, Wan'er said happily; "Ning Sutou is very popular. After you retreat, everyone is concerned about you. Even without me speaking, some of them will spontaneously guard the alley, not letting others People come in to disturb you."

"Even a few families in the alley have been temporarily living outside for the past few days, saying they are worried about affecting Ning Zuotou's retreat."

Kong Ning knows the character of these villagers in Shanlan County. After all, he has lived here for more than ten years.

Really honest and honest.

However, they made Kong Ning a little embarrassed.

Standing in the yard, Kong Ning sighed and said, "It seems that in the next few days, I have to keep a low profile."

Kong Ning doesn't really like the feeling of being surrounded everywhere he goes.

Especially the villagers who surrounded him with great enthusiasm were all his former neighbors and villagers.

Nowadays, these familiar faces and familiar people all regard him as a great savior and a reincarnated immortal, and everyone is fervently grateful, worshipping and respecting him.

This confuses Kong Ning beyond words.

And a little melancholy.

This Shanlan County will probably never come back.

Continue to live in the city and there will only be endless trouble. Wherever you go, you are surrounded and admired. What is the meaning of such a life?

Kong Ning is not a godly stick with a strong desire to express, and does not want to be a high-level fairy teacher.

For the next few days, Kong Ning lived in a secluded place and basically didn't go out to hang out.

He is dealing with the chores that Shanlan County still needs to do one by one.

Draw out the account book at home and pay off the debt. I will pay off the debts I owe, which I cannot move around in the future, one by one in advance, leaving no regrets.

Then I went to the county magistrate's home in Shanlan County.

After Wan'er reported the death of the county magistrate, the people in the county government already knew about it.

Kong Ning went to help sort out the relics of the county magistrate and saw the letter from the county magistrate's daughter.

The family letter does mention that the county magistrate's daughter will be married soon.

But he didn't invite the county magistrate to watch the ceremony, he just told the matter.

Because the county magistrate's daughter was born, Liu county magistrate came to Shanlan county to take office.

Since then, the county magistrate has never left Shanlan County.

The living people in this city are all captive livestock.

Relying on the power of the blood flags of all spirits in the locust tree, the blood aunt confuses people's cognition, making the residents of the city willing to be livestock, and ignorant of everything abnormal, and live happily and happily.

As an important role in the city, magistrate Liu was also the most brainwashed and controlled.

Most mortals in the city are just confused.

Liu County Magistrate was ruled by Xuegu, and like those demons, he also succumbed to the control of Xuegu.

So magistrate Liu knows more than mortals.

But because of this, it is impossible to leave Shanlan County.

He didn't go home for 16 years, his parents died of old age, and he never went to mourning. The wife even took her daughter to remarry another person, and there was no correspondence for many years.

Only the daughter, who has never met, sends home letters every year.

But when Kong Ning opened the box that the magistrate Liu carefully treasured, he clearly saw that the further back, the fewer letters to the family sent by the daughter of magistrate Liu.

In the end, there were not many letters a year.

Before this letter to inform Liu County Sheriff that she was going to get married, the most recent letter was sent in the twelfth lunar month of last year...

Looking at the well-preserved but extremely rough stationery in the small treasure box, Kong Ning sighed.

These letters are so rough, I don't know how many times Liu county magistrate secretly read them in the dead of night.

However, under the slavery of Aunt Xue, he could not go home at all. Even though he misses his hometown relatives, he can only watch Hejian Fu's parents grow old, his wife remarry, and his daughter grow up.

...Equally unlucky is the county magistrate's brother-in-law.

This young man who followed his brother-in-law to take office in the county seat and wanted to make a fortune through his connections was stuck in Shanlan County and never returned home for 16 years.

When he came, he was a handsome young man, but now he is in his thirties, alone and has not even married a daughter-in-law. The only thing I can do now is to help clean up my brother-in-law's belongings, and explain the situation to my sister and niece who have already remarried at home after returning home.

Kong Ning clearly remembered the plea before Liu's death.

But the county magistrate's brother-in-law does it for him, so he doesn't need to go in person.

Then Kong Ning went outside the city.

Miss Xu San's tomb has been moved from a simple earthen bag to a new feng shui treasure land.

Kong Ning and Wan'er brought the cat demon's head, which had been hanging in the backyard for half a month, to the grave of Miss Xu San, burned the cat demon's head to ashes, and then sprinkled it into the group in the mountains.

A real ashes.

Although Miss Xu San has no regrets, Kong Ning had promised to take the cat demon head to her grave to pay homage, and the ceremony that should be done still has to be done again.

After all, this cat demon's head has been treated with lime and hung under the eaves to dry for so long, it's a waste not to go through the process.

After paying homage to Miss Xu San, Kong Ning returned to his home in Huaishu Lane alone.

Prepare to pack and leave tomorrow.

There aren't many things in the room. After all, he is only one person~IndoMTL.com~ After opening the closet, except for his several sets of regular clothes and the change of catching fast clothes. The majority are women's dresses.

Although it has been washed, the dresses that she once wore on Su Yan still seem to carry her scent.

When Kong Ning opened the closet, he smelled a faint, familiar scent.

The movement paused slightly.

In the end, the dresses that Su Yan wore and the sheets and quilts that the two of them piled on were all piled up in the yard and burned by Kong Ning.

These things are not good to share with neighbors, but not good to keep.

Ultimately, it can only be burned.

In the yard in the afternoon sun, black smoke billows up.

Standing beside the fire, Kong Ning looked at the familiar dress burning in the fire and exhaled slightly.

Complicated expressions.
