I’m Being Held Captive by Demons Chapter 5: Shi family of 3
Outside the Shipan Mill, Kong Ning was silent for a while, calmly looking up and down at Shi Yong in front of him.
The footsteps are vain and the bottom plate is unstable. It is not a trainer. And Shi Yong came from outside the mill, not in the mill.
Although there is a possibility that Shi Yong is a monster, and the prophet knows that Kong Ning is going to kill it, so he specially detours from the outside to approach the possibility. But Kong Ning felt that if the ability of the prophet of the unknown appeared on a little monster of this level, then he wouldn't have to mix it up.
The target of the mysterious crock search is weaker than Kongning. Can such a little monster be unpredictable?
It's a coincidence that Kong Ning prefers Shi Yong's appearance.
Although it does not rule out the possibility that the other party is a monster...
After being silent for a few seconds, Kong Ning said, "You came just in time. I was passing by here, planning to grind some flour to go home, but I found that I didn't bring any wheat. Do you have any extra wheat at home? Grind some flour for me, and I'll pay for it. to you."
As soon as Kong Ning opened his mouth, the old hunter was fast.
Shi Yong's face stiffened, and then he squeezed out a warm smile and said: "What did Ning say, it is a blessing for you to come to the mill. How much flour does Ning want, and the villain will go immediately. I'll grind it for you."
The so-called King of Hell is easy to meet, but little devils are difficult to deal with. Kong Ning and the others are the most feared characters in the county town.
Even if he is relatively friendly and does not oppress the good, he still has a lot of fixed income every month, not to mention the old fritters in the yamen. With the treatment of fast fishing, if you don’t want to find a way to win the favor, with a salary of 12 taels a year, it is difficult to even support one person. How can you have the spare money to often drink flowers and wine and listen to small songs?
Therefore, the image of Kong Ning's gang of Yamen Jukuai in the eyes of the villagers is probably no different from that of evil ghosts, and even those green-skinned gangsters are afraid.
The only difference is that they usually don't overdo it. After all, after provoking public anger, it is difficult to step down.
But "don't go too far" refers to such big evils as bullying men and women.
It is impossible to pay for such trivial things as eating your two melons and telling you to grind two catties of flour. Even if Kong Ning insisted on paying, Shi Yong would not dare to accept it.
He led the jujube yellow horse and followed Shi Yong to the gate of the mill. When Kong Ning tied the horse at the gate, Shi Yong pushed open the door and shouted to the mill, "Sanniang! Sanniang! Lord Ning is here. Get out to work!"
Shi Yong's shouts soon called out his daughter-in-law, a middle-aged woman with thick limbs and a dark face.
Seeing Kong Ning wearing a work uniform, Zhao Sanniang, who opened the door curtain, immediately had a smile on her face: "It's Ning Ye, Sanniang has seen Ning Ye before."
The stout woman gave a lame gift, while Kong Ning nodded and said, "Excuse me."
He sat down in the mill under the warm reception of Shi Yong.
And Zhao Sanniang took the bag of wheat from Shi Yong and went to operate the grinding table and help Kong Ning grind the noodles. This bag of wheat that Shi Yong just bought became empty.
In the empty mill, the sound of the shaking of the waterwheel, the sound of the river running on the floor, and the sound of the grinding wheel starting to turn, combined into a strange sound.
Kong Ning calmly observed everything in front of him, speculating whether the demon in the mill might be the woman in front of him.
Shi Yong walked out of the back room with a smile on his face, holding a pot of wine and two bowls, and said with a smile: "The house is shabby, only this pot of water and wine is left, and I look forward to Ning Ye Haihan."
Shi Yong sat down and helped Kong Ning fill up first, then chatted with a smile.
While dealing with Shi Yong, Kong Ning observed the situation in the mill.
In the small mill, there seems to be only Shi Yong and his wife. So will the monster be one of the couples?
After thinking about it, Kong Ning said, "Where's your brother Shi Gui? Why didn't you see him? Are you gambling again?"
Shi Yong's younger brother, Shi Gui, is a bad gambler. He wanders around several small casinos in Shanlan County all the year round and hangs out with a group of friends. He is one of the main green-skinned rogues in the county.
He and Kong Ning are old acquaintances, one who was beaten and one who was beaten.
Kong Ning inquired about the whereabouts of the man, wanting to confirm whether he was also in the mill.
If Shi Gui was not there at this time, then the demon should be Shi Yong and his wife.
After Kong Ning finished his question, Shi Yong sighed, shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid that Master Ning will laugh at me. Master Ning also knows what kind of virtue my brother who is not a weapon has."
"In the past, I used to fool around outside every day, gamble badly, and steal money from my family. The villain was beaten and scolded, but it was not very useful."
"It's good these days. He doesn't go out to gamble anymore, but he locks himself in the house every day, and he doesn't come out no matter how much he shouts. We even have to deliver meals to their door, just like a **** master."
"Alas... but at least not going out to gamble is a good thing."
Speaking of this incompetent brother, Shi Yong sighed and shook his head: "As long as he can be a normal person, he doesn't go out to gamble, and doesn't fool around with those scumbag friends, even if he stays at home and becomes a master every day, I will Agreed."
"My father and mother died early. This stinky boy was raised by me and Sanniang since he was eight years old. As long as he doesn't gamble badly, everything will be fine...really...everything is fine..."
Shi Yong sighed and sighed, obviously being tortured enough by his younger brother.
Zhao Sanniang, who was helping Kong Ning grind the noodles, interjected, "What nonsense you are talking about! Master Ning is here, what are you complaining about? Is Master Ning here to listen to your complaints? A little eyesight. I haven't seen any!"
Zhao Sanniang stared.
Shi Yong also came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Look at my broken mouth... Ning, don't take offense, I'm used to nagging. Let's not talk about Shi Gui, let's not talk about Shi Gui."
Kong Ning's eyes narrowed slightly, sensing the abnormality.
"Shi Gui has locked himself in the house every day recently? Don't go out?"
How is this possible!
That kind of rotten gambler who doesn't go out to gamble for a day is more uncomfortable than killing him. How could he hide in the house every day and not go out.
Is Shi Gui a monster? Captured by a monster? Or did the monster eat him and hide in the Shipan Mill disguised as him?
Kong Ning pondered in his heart, but his expression remained calm and asked, "What is he tinkering with when he locks himself in the house every day? For no reason, he definitely won't stay at home every day without going out, right?"
Shi Yong also sighed and said, "Yeah...that kid definitely won't leave the house for no reason. But I really don't understand how fun a bird is."
"Half a month ago, that kid picked up a bird from outside, and it was as if he was possessed. He stayed in the house every day and talked to the bird, and anyone told him to ignore it."
"I asked Lao Song, who kept birds, and Lao Song said that the bird was just an ordinary sparrow, nothing unusual at all... sigh... Shi Gui, this stinky boy, is really hopeless. It's not a bad gamble, It's just playing with birds."
"Playing with birds... Is that something we poor people can afford? If it wasn't for the sake of him not going out to gamble badly, I would have rushed in and threw his broken bird cage into the river."
Shi Gui sighed and couldn't help but complain again. Zhao Sanniang, who was beside her, winked again and again, but she still couldn't stop her husband from thinking in front of Kong Ning.
Kong Ning was slightly silent.
I picked up a strange bird half a month ago, and then I stayed behind closed doors... Could it be that there is something wrong with that bird?
Kong Ning got up and said, "I'll go see him. I haven't seen him for a while, so I miss him."
Kong Ning's abrupt action made Shi Yong and his wife stunned for a moment, obviously shocked by Kong Ning's reaction.
Kongning, the county yachakuai will miss Shi Gui? This kind of nonsense, Kong Ning didn't believe it when he said it himself.
In the mill, Shi Yong and his wife looked at each other slightly, and finally Shi Yong said, "Master Ning, that kid is really staying at home every day recently, and he didn't go out to mess around..."
Kong Ning glanced at him coldly, but said nothing. Shi Yong's voice became smaller and smaller, and sweat began to drip from his forehead.
In the end, Shi Yong swallowed and said, "Master Ning, come with me, that kid lives here..."
Facing Kong Ning whose expression suddenly turned cold, Shi Yong obviously did not have the courage to continue explaining.
He stood up obediently and walked ahead to lead Kong Ning the way.
Kong Ning followed behind him, quietly observing Shi Yong's reaction.
Hand, keep pressing on the handle.
Although it seems that the possibility of Shi Yong being a monster has been infinitely close to none, Kong Ning still does not dare to relax. The two walked out of the empty mill one after the other and walked towards the back.
The building structure of Shipan Mill is very simple. The outside is the mill, and the back is where the Shi Yong family eats and sleeps.
After opening the curtain and walking out of the mill, what appeared in front of Kong Ning was the water of Wangjiang River~IndoMTL.com~ The wooden boards they stepped on were hanging on the Wangjiang River. One side was the wall of the mill, and the other side was Rapid river water.
Walking on the narrow path that only one person can pass through, Kong Ning and Shi Yong came to a side room on the outermost side.
This partial house is also suspended on the river, and the area is not large. It was a hot day, the sun was scorching hot and the air was sultry, but the doors and windows of this room were closed and there was no ventilation at all.
After Shi Yong stood at the door and knocked on the door, Shi Gui's impatient shout came from inside.
"I won't go out! I said I won't go out! Just put the meal at the door and I'll take it myself!"
Obviously, Shi Yong had talked about this younger brother many times before, so that when the other party heard the knock on the door, he would reflex.
But this time, Shi Yong followed Kong Ning, the situation was different.
This sturdy man with a shirtless upper body glared at him and said, "Quickly open the door! You're used to it, Master Ning said he wanted to come and see you. If you make a fuss, I'll kick the door in and beat you!"
Shi Yong scolds directly.
And Shi Gui's surprised voice sounded in the room.
"Master Ning? Which Master Ning?"
Shi Yong was about to speak, but Kong Ning had already laughed and said, "Which Master Ning are you talking about?"
The next second, the door of the house was immediately opened.
Shi Gui, who was pale and nervous, looked at Cha Kuai outside the door, his legs seemed to be trembling.
"Ning... Lord Ning... I haven't done much recently... We stay at home every day and never go out. If the beards and the others do anything, it must have nothing to do with me!"
This green-skinned scoundrel, who has been in the classroom several times and has been well received by Kong Ning and the others, sees Kong Ning just like a mouse sees a cat, so he subconsciously wipes himself clean first.
