I’m Being Held Captive by Demons

Kong Ning didn't stay long in front of the grave outside the city.

After roughly agreeing with Wan'er to meet tomorrow, the two separated directly.

As for the monster in the Xu Mansion, it can only be shelved for now.

Xu Miaoyi died too quickly without leaving any useful clues.

Kong Ning and Wan'er didn't know the specific cultivation level of the cat demon. If the cat demon was powerful, Kong Ning and the others would be tantamount to seeking their own death if they set up a siege.

Anyway, Kong Ning's mysterious black pot can find monsters in the city, so there is no rush.

The demons and goblins all over the city will be killed by Kong Ning, and it doesn't matter if the cat demon lives for a few more days.

After parting, Kong Ning went straight to his home in Huaishu Lane, while Wan'er carried the sleeping girl back to Tian's abandoned house.

The mysterious black pot in Qihai Dantian was still vibrating.

The refinement of the blood-red demonic energy is not over yet.

This was the first time the mysterious black pot had been refined for so long, and Kong Ning couldn't help but wonder what he would get after the refining was over.

With such curiosity, Kong Ning walked through the county town under the night and came to Huaishu Lane.

Under the starlight in the sky, the moonlight faded away. Stepping into Kong Ning of Sophora Tree Lane, one sees a figure sitting under the dark shade of a tree.

An indifferent expression, an old face, a tired look...

His father actually sat under the locust tree, quietly watching his arrival.

Kong Ning was startled, and hurried over.

Father, why are you still outside at night? Kong Ning said worriedly, Where's mother? Where did mother go?

Under the dark shade of the trees, my father's face was almost hidden in the shadows.

A gust of night wind blew, and the locust tree above him shook, and the shade under the locust tree also trembled, making the father's face under the shade even more ugly.

He was leaning against the old locust tree, his face was tired, and he was holding the old yellowed book in his hand.

When Kong Ning walked in front of him, he grabbed Kong Ning's arm.

Then, a tired voice sounded in Kong Ning's ear.

While your mother is not here...

Ning'er, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon...

Have you bought your mooncakes yet?

The father's face was a little anxious.

However, what Kong Ning heard was somewhat inexplicable.

If you don't buy mooncakes, you won't be able to catch up with the Mid-Autumn Festival!

Father's hand grabbed Kong Ning tightly, and it hurt even a little bit.

However, Kong Ning was at a loss, not knowing what his father was talking about.

Moon cake? Dad, do you want to eat moon cakes? Ning'er will buy them for you tomorrow, Kong Ning didn't know why his father didn't sleep at night, so he went outside and sat talking about moon cakes.

But he still hurriedly comforted his father, trying to persuade him to go back to the house to rest.

It was just Kong Ning's comforting words, which obviously didn't work.

After hearing Kong Ning's words, his father became even more anxious, and said anxiously, It's not moon cakes!

It's Mid-Autumn Festival! Mid-Autumn Festival! Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon!

Hurry up and buy mooncakes!

If you don't buy mooncakes, you won't be able to catch up with the Mid-Autumn Festival!

Father was in a hurry.

However, what Kong Ning heard was still confusing and inexplicable.

He looked at his father's extremely anxious expression, but still didn't know what his father wanted to express.

He could only nod his head again and again.

Understood. I'll go buy mooncakes later, and I'll be there in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Father, it's getting late, go in and rest quickly, don't catch a cold.

Kong Ning comforted his father, fearing that something might happen to the old man, he tried to help his father to sit up.

However, his father sat there stiffly, Kong Ning exerted a little force, but despite his strength, he couldn't lift his father up.

Kong Ning, with a startled expression, subconsciously wanted to exert more strength.

But at this moment, the mother's voice suddenly sounded outside the locust tree alley.

Ning'er, why did you come out?

Stepping on the dim starlight, the elderly mother smiled and walked from the outside of Huaishu Lane.

She looked at Kong Ning and said: It's so late, go into the room and sleep. You have to go to the yamen tomorrow.

Mother cared about Kong Ning.

And when she walked out, Kong Ning felt that his father's stiff body suddenly softened.

And the anxious expression on his face disappeared, and it became the same indifferent look as before.

He let go of Kong Ning's hand, leaned back against the locust tree with a cold face, and said: Your mother is right, go back to sleep.

Don't sleep at night, what are you doing fooling around outside? Go back to sleep!

The father's attitude changed abruptly.

Kong Ning was confused.

Although my father has always had a bad temper, this sudden change of face is too outrageous, right?

Just now, he was anxiously urging Kongning to buy mooncakes, but now he is rushing Kongning to sleep, it's really... Absolutely.

Kong Ning shook his head helplessly, and said: Then you rest first, I'll go in.

Saying that, Kong Ning walked towards the courtyard gate, intending to go directly into the house to sleep.

But the moment he stepped into the door, he suddenly thought of something.

Kong Ning suddenly turned his head and looked at the two old men behind him.

He frowned and said, Father, mother, it's late at night, why are you all outside? Aren't you sleeping?

In any case, it was the fourth watch, and it was absurd for the two old men to stay outside.

Facing Kong Ning's question, the father, who was leaning against the old locust tree, snorted coldly and did not speak.

The mother with a kind face smiled and said: Go to bed right away, Ning'er, go to rest and leave us alone.

The mother's voice, gentle and kind, has the power to calm people's hearts, and the worries and confusion in Kong Ning's heart quickly dissipated.

A smile appeared on his face, and he said, Okay.

After finishing speaking, Kong Ning obediently walked into the yard and went to sleep.

In the dark pagoda tree alley, only two old people looked at each other without saying a word.

The smiling mother walked under the locust tree, sat in front of the courtyard gate, and said to the father who was leaning against the old locust tree.

You really dare to say anything...

Fortunately, I was prepared in advance and came back in time.

Otherwise, I really got hurt by you... Heh...

Why? Do you really want to kill the fish and break the net?

Don't forget that there are some things that Ning'er should not know.

The mother smiled kindly and admonished the father.

The father under the old locust tree snorted coldly, tightly gripped the old book in his hand, and said: You are well prepared, it seems that you are determined to get it.

As soon as the Double Ninth Festival is over, you will start, right? Or you can't wait for the Mid-Autumn Festival?

Father's tone was as bad as ever.

The mother smiled slightly, and said: Whether it's Mid-Autumn Festival or Double Ninth Festival...why are you so angry? The matter has come to this point, and you can't do anything about it. Why don't you just obediently submit and accept the reality, at least you can reduce your distress.

The father looked at her indifferently and said.

The moon waxes and wanes, and the tide ebbs and flows. You are powerful and have the upper hand today, so you can indeed be rampant.

But if you insist on going your own way and continue, there will never be good results.

Don't say it was unpredictable, don't blame me for not reminding you!

The father's tone was harsh and his expression was fierce.

The mother looked at him and the old book in his hand with a smile, and said, Thousands of desires, ten thousand reluctances.

Spirit and flesh are separated, and all living beings suffer.

Baishi, your way has come to an end, it's useless to say more. Next, I should walk this way too.

It's time for me to read that book.

Let you waste time in vain, and we will all die here.

What do you think?

Mother's tone is gentle, her smile is bright, and her voice is full of affinity.

However, the father opposite her gave a cold snort, completely disregarding her, and directly gave the most indifferent response.

Pooh!
