Chapter 199: The human heart is not ancient

In other words, Yi Tiannan, Ning Caichen, and Lin Qingfeng returned from the demon eradication, and saw a commotion at the entrance of the village, and faintly heard cursing.

The cries of women and children, when Yi Tiannan and the three of them came to the entrance of the village, they saw a group of people gathering there. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The three of them walked to the periphery of the crowd, looked over the crowd and looked in the middle, there was a woman holding a four or five-year-old child crying, Yi Tiannan didn't feel anything, just a little strange. And Lin Qingfeng was extremely nervous in his heart, raised his eyes to look at Ning Caichen beside him, and found that his face was pale, and his eyes were staring at the mother and daughter in the crowd.

The woman held the child, sobbed and said to the onlookers around her, "Please, please have mercy on us, the husband will leave this child, and the Ning family can't cut off the incense, please have mercy on us......"

There was a commotion around, some people were cursing, some people were helpless, and the scene was chaotic. At this time, an old man with white hair in the middle of the crowd calmed everyone down, and then said, "Sichen Niang, it's not that we don't give you time, but this time we offended the king of Montenegro and had to take the child to make amends and pay tribute, and we are also for the safety of the whole village, ......", his face was wrinkled, and he said helplessly.

There was a sound of pandering all around,

"Yes, we also think about the village......"

"Sacrifice yourself......"

There are also more mean ones,

"We've all experienced this kind of thing, and we've come to your house this year, do you still want to avoid it?"

"Hmph, some people are just holding that there is a great person in the family, and their tails will rise to the sky......"

"Relying on someone, your house has been dodging several times, and this time it finally arrived at your house......"

“……”

In short, there is everything to say, Yi Tiannan roughly heard what people said, and understood what was going on, presumably it was the turn of this year's tribute to the old demon of Montenegro, but this woman, that is, the child's mother, was unwilling in every way. [Nonsense, who wants to give their own children to youkai? 】

Yi Tiannan just wanted to stand up and stop all this, telling them that the old demon of Montenegro had been eradicated, and there was no need to carry out this miserable ritual again, but someone was faster than him.

"Stop!" A break in drinking, like a thunderbolt exploding in the crowd, and then all the sounds seemed to be cut off by this interruption, no more sound came out, there was silence in the field, and suddenly a voice with crying joy came, "Brother Ning, you are back......" The words were full of grievances, as well as surprises in a desperate situation.

Then an eleven or twelve-year-old child rushed out of the crowd and came in front of Ning Caichen and the three of them, it was Lin Qingfeng's younger brother Lin Qingming, his eyes were red, and he seemed to have been crying for a long time.

And Ning Caichen just glanced at Lin Qingming, and then looked at the mother and son in the crowd again, the woman hugged the child, and also looked at Ning Caichen with her eyes, and the tears in her eyes made Ning Caichen's heart ache.

Ning Caichen's footsteps unconsciously walked towards the woman, the crowd dispersed silently, they knew that the loud shout just now was from this person's mouth, he was the pride of a village, he returned from his studies to kill demons, three days ago he went to subdue demons, wasn't he killed by the king of Montenegro? How did it suddenly appear here? He's back, how is the king of Montenegro?

Forced by Ning Caichen's might, the crowd automatically dispersed a pathway, Ning Caichen came in front of the woman, with an indissoluble affection in his eyes, "Yun'er, I've suffered you for so many years, I'll carry this family in the future......" He squatted down and hugged the woman and the child in his arms.

Yun'er lay in Ning Caichen's arms, she couldn't hold back her tears anymore, the spring gushed out, and the whispered sobs turned into a muffled cry, as if she wanted to pour out all the grievances and pains over the years.

Ning Caichen hugged Yun'er, gently wiped away the tears on her face with his palm, gently stroked her hair, and secretly swore in his heart that he would not let their mother and son be hurt again. Looking at the woman and the child in her arms gently, full of happiness, is this child called Sichen? Don't think about it, Ning Caichen also knew the meaning of Yun'er's name for the child, and the hands of the two people holding the mother and son unconsciously became harder.

Yi Tiannan watched all this silently, and it was clear in his heart for a while, it turned out that this was Ning Caichen's wife and children, he originally thought that he could avoid this tragedy, but he didn't expect it to turn into a farce.

At this time, Lin Qingming also told Yi Tiannan and Lin Qingfeng about what happened after they left, after listening to Lin Qingming's story, Lin Qingfeng's face couldn't help flashing a burst of shame and resentment, Yi Tiannan's face flashed a coldness, and his gaze at everyone was a little unkind.

So that's what happened.

Ning Caichen and the three of them left in the evening of the same day, and they didn't say anything all night.

The next day, someone wanted to find Ning Caichen, saying that several respected old men in the village had held a clan meeting, and wanted to ask him to tell him what he had learned over the years? And how to catch demons? But they couldn't find Ning Caichen all over the place.

Some people went to Ning Caichen's house to look for it, and Ning Caichen's wife Yun'er said that Ning Caichen did not come home last night. Later, it was finally determined that Ning Caichen last appeared at Lin Qingfeng's house, so he went to Lin Qingfeng's house to look for it, but only found Lin Qingming.

Lin Qingming didn't hide it in the slightest, and told them everything, saying that Ning Caichen had already been completely sure of killing the demon, and they had already gone to Heiming Mountain last night.

Some people in the village are happy and some are worried, and some people trust Ning Caichen, thinking that he will definitely be able to kill the old demon of Montenegro and free the village; However, some people do not believe in Ning Caichen's strength, thinking that Ning Caichen's departure will inevitably annoy the old demon of Montenegro, and if he dies, it will also attract the anger of the old demon against the village.

In the end, after discussing with the people in the village, they decided to wait for a while before making a decision, after all, Lin Qingming said that their demon removal is estimated to be one day, which means that they will come back today. This day is still waiting for time.

But Ning Caichen didn't come back until late at night, Lin Qingfeng naturally didn't come back, Lin Qingming was a little anxious, didn't he say that he could slap the old demon of Montenegro to death? It's definitely enough for a day of round-trip travel, but why is there no movement now? Isn't something wrong?

The people in the village knew that Ning Caichen was going to subdue the demon and would come back within a day, but when the day passed, Ning Caichen still didn't hear from him, and the voices of doubt in the village became louder and louder.

However, although there are not many, there are still people who support Ning Caichen, and the people in the village have waited for another day, but there is still no news. At this time, those three were happily hunting for treasures, how could they think so much?

So that night, several important people in the village gathered again to discuss Ning Caichen's affairs, most of them were sixty or seventy years old, they had all experienced the catastrophe fifty or sixty years ago, and they had also found bad monks to go to hunt demons, but they all ended in failure, and they would also annoy the old demons of Montenegro.

It seems that this time will not be an exception, Ning Caichen is estimated to be in the belly of the old demon, but the village still has to be preserved, and if you want to save the village in front of the old demon, you have to pay a price.

So someone proposed to send Ning Caichen's child to pay tribute to appease the anger of the old demon in Montenegro, after all, this matter was caused by him, and the father's debt was repaid, and this matter should be borne by Ning Caichen's son.

Some people objected, after all, Ning Caichen was newly mourned, and it was not appropriate for his widow to be poisoned again. But the voice was quickly silenced by the opinion of the majority.

Over the years, it should have been Ning Caichen's son's turn a long time ago, but considering Ning Caichen's identity, they have been delayed again and again, and now that Ning Caichen has been buried in the demon belly, naturally there is no need to consider his factors.

The next day, they began to prepare, all kinds of accompanying sacrifices, the utensils used were all prepared, and they went to Ning Caichen's house to take the child out, Yun'er was naturally unwilling.

When she first heard that Ning Caichen was going to subdue the demon, her face turned pale, and her heart tightened, and she was worried about Ning Caichen.

Later, when she heard rumors that Ning Caichen had died, she was even more heartbroken, but there was still a glimmer of hope in her heart. But suddenly someone said that they wanted to take her child and go to pay tribute. The life and death of his husband is uncertain, and he can send the only flesh and bone he left behind to the mouth of the demon no matter what.

But she is a weak woman, and what can she do in the face of aggressive villagers? They were forcibly taken to the entrance of the village, waited for the auspicious time, and then performed the tribute ceremony.

Among them, Lin Qingming has said more than once that Brother Ning will definitely be able to come back, this may be delayed by something, please wait, but he is a twelve-year-old child, who will listen to his words?

It was at this moment that Ning Caichen and the three of them came back, Ning Caichen stopped everyone with a sigh of drinking, they didn't expect that Ning Caichen would have such a strong momentum after not seeing him for five years.

And looking at him like that, he must have gone through a fierce battle, but what the final result will be, they don't know. Such a scene was very embarrassing, after all, Ning Caichen eliminated the demon before giving up his life, but the village wanted to sacrifice his son to the demon.

The old man with white hair coughed awkwardly, trying to show a kind smile, "Ahem, Caichen, I don't know how you got on this trip?" Have you eradicated the old demon of Montenegro? ”

Ning Caichen hugged his wife and children, looked at them gently, his face was full of happiness, as if he hadn't heard the old man's words, and ignored his question gorgeously. The old man's face flashed with anger, how many years has no one looked down on him like this? And this is still in front of the whole village, refuting his own face.

Lin Qingfeng had the heart to stand up and explain, but he was quietly stopped by Yi Tiannan, and shook his head at him, this matter is still handed over to Ning Caichen to handle well, presumably he already has an idea in his heart, right?
