Chapter 144: Forgiveness

The Demon Boy descends into the world, high noon, village.

There were about twenty or thirty people in the village busy on the rubble, and Li Jing not only helped the villagers who were living in difficulty, but also generously provided them with materials to rebuild their houses.

Renovating and rebuilding half of the village, even in terms of the value of a city's total soldiers, is not a small expenditure, Li Jing gave this building materials, firstly, for the sake of the old man's face, an old man in his seventies kneeling, no matter where it is, it is difficult not to be moved.

Second, it's for his son.

Regarding Nezha's removal of the bird demon this time but the destruction of most of the village, Li Jing was not only guilty of the villagers, but also relieved and worried about his son.

In his opinion, although he lacks experience and acts impulsively, Nezha has indeed begun to try to use his divine power to defend others and kill demons, which means that Nezha has begun to try to walk on the right path.

But a Nezha who can only get rid of demons is impossible to get the love of everyone, even if they know that Nezha will subdue demons and eliminate demons, but if Nezha only cares about eliminating demons every time, and doesn't care about the life or death of the people, the people can only be in awe of him at most.

So this time, he not only has to find a way to make Nezha understand how to really subdue demons and eliminate demons and defend Chentangguan, but also make up for the damage caused by the first demon slaying and demon removal for his son, and reduce the villagers' bad impression of Nezha as much as possible.

Li Jing sent people to transport materials to rebuild the village in the morning, but the demons outside Chentang Pass were around, and he and his subordinates were shouldering the important task of guarding Chentang Pass, so naturally they couldn't spare manpower to help the villagers rebuild.

These people who were busy on the ruins were the people in the village who wanted to rebuild their houses, and Li Jing gave the village a lot of food, so that even if they didn't go out to fish during this time, at least they wouldn't starve to death.

They are now clearing the rubble in place, and after clearing the rubble bit by bit, they can rebuild the house in the same place.

The leader of the Demon Slayer Gang, Ugly, is also busy with his mother on the ruins. His sister played by herself beside the ruins.

He was a child, but he was also the only man in the family, and it was his duty to rebuild the family's house.

"Ugly, take a break, don't get tired."

Ugly's mother was still burying her head in cleaning up the ruins, and under the sun, sweat dripped down her hair one by one.

"It's okay! Mother, I'm not tired! ”

Although he said this, he was still a child, and he couldn't help but straighten his waist, wanting to relax his sore back.

He looked up, first at his sister, then aimlessly at the village.

His gaze froze.

At the entrance of the village, a tall figure dressed in rich white clothes walked towards the village with a child.

"It's Nezha!"

On the ruins not far behind him, someone screamed.

An exclamation shook everyone, they all raised their heads, everyone looked in the direction of Nezha, but no one dared to look directly at Nezha.

In addition to him and his sister, there is also the village chief.

Nezha followed the figure, walked not far away, and stood there, facing everyone.

The strong man was not there, so he and his son went out to sea to fish.

The village chief is here, although he is too old to work, but with him here, the villagers will be extremely relieved.

"The old man has seen Lord Nezha," the village chief saluted to this child, who was not even one-twentieth of his age, "Thank you Lord Nezha for saving the lives of the old and young in this village." ”

Nezha jumped to the side, avoiding the old man's salute.

Gu Yunze stepped forward with a smile and gently persuaded the old man to get up.

"Everyone," Nezha said as he watched the crowd in the village, and everyone's heart trembled violently, "I'm sorry! ”

Nezha looked at them and bowed deeply.

"This ......"

Everyone looked at each other, Nezha's apology was shouted clearly and powerfully, and everyone heard it clearly.

"I'm too impulsive to ruin your house and fields, I'm sorry!"

Nezha still maintained a bowing posture, this apology he had been entangled from the night to the present, he thought it would be difficult for him to say, but now that he said it, he felt a sense of relief in his heart.

“……”

The whole village was silent, some of the villagers were bold enough to look at Nezha who bowed, and some didn't even dare to look in the direction of Nezha.

The girl stood beside the ruins of her house that day, looking at the strangely behaving adults around her, and holding her fingers in bewilderment.

She set her eyes on Nezha again, and a smile suddenly appeared on her face.

"Little ...... Little brother ......"

She stretched out her arms and ran towards Nezha.

She was getting closer and closer to Nezha, and her brother and mother tried to hold her, but her mother was so anxious that she fell on the ruins, and after her brother staggered out of the ruins, she was already in front of Nezha.

Nezha was silent and gently turned sideways, and she pounced.

"Eh......"

The little girl pursed her mouth and opened her arms to pounce on Nezha.

Nezha avoided the past again.

Four or five times in a row, the little girl pounced on Nezha, but he dodged it.

The little girl's eyes were filled with tears of grievance, and she seemed to be crying at any moment.

His brother Ugly ran to her side, took her hand and tried to drag her away.

"Wow——!"

The girl burst into tears, she resisted her brother, reached out to Nezha with her other hand, and shouted in a crying voice: "...... Small...... Little Brother ...... Embrace...... Hug ......"

Nezha looked at her and subconsciously stretched out his hands to hug her, but retracted his hands in a blink of an eye.

“……”

Ugly looked at his crying sister, and then at Nezha, who was silent.

"It's him...... Saved my sister......"

The thought popped into his head.

In a trance, he let go of his sister's hand, and his sister, who was resisting his brother's pulling, fell in the direction of Nezha.

Nezha subconsciously rushed out and took her into his arms.

Running towards this side, she and Ugly's mother were suffocated and almost turned their backs.

"Little ...... Little Brother ...... Play...... Let's ......"

The little girl in Nezha's arms immediately burst into tears and laughed.

"Don't play, my brother will help your family build a house first, okay?"

Nezha's crisp voice echoed throughout the village.

"Good...... Cover...... Cover ......"

The little girl smiled happily.

Nezha let go of her, walked over to the ruins of her house, and silently cleaned up.

The girl's mother threw herself over and hugged her violently, ignoring her bleeding wounds in the rubble, carefully observing her daughter's well.

Two children are her lifeline, and children are more important than her own life.

Ah Chou walked to the side of the ruins, and did not look at Nezha, but just cleaned up the ruins with him without saying a word.

Gradually, others began to turn back to their own work, just glance at Nezha's small figure from time to time.

Gu Yunze nodded with satisfaction, said goodbye to the village chief and left.

Before leaving, he quietly left a little spiritual light, warming the village chief's dying body - such an elder should live longer.

In half a day, Nezha not only helped the girl's family clean up the ruins, but also used a few pieces of wood to build the prototype of the house under the guidance of Ah Chou and the girl's mother.

"It's getting dark, do you have a place to stay?"

Nezha glanced at the room that was only in its rudimentary form.

"It's okay for me to live here with Ugly," the little girl and Ugly's mother shook their heads, seeing that Nezha's eyes no longer had the initial vigilance, "Master Li has arranged a place for Ami to stay, and it will be no problem for me and Ugly to stay here for one night." ”

"Hmm......" Nezha nodded, "Then I'll come back tomorrow and help you build the house." ”

He turned and walked out of the village.

"Wait!"

Ah Chou suddenly stopped Nezha.

"What's wrong?"

Nezha turned around.

He looked at Nezha's back, learning from Nezha's appearance when he first came at noon, bowed deeply and said loudly.

"It's not right for me to set up a demon slayer gang to fight against you before, I want to protect my sister too much! I apologize to you, I'm sorry! Nezha! Please forgive me! ”

“!!!”

Nezha, who had been silent all day and only smiled slightly when he was holding the little girl, showed his first smile of the day.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Nezha, who had regained his usual tone and demeanor almost instantly, waved his hand aggressively, "Little things, small things, I have a lot of adults, just forgive you!" Hahahaha......"

Looking at Nezha, who was looking up and laughing arrogantly, Ah Chou felt that the corners of her mouth twitched uncontrollably, and she looked up at her mother, who gave him an affirmative look.

"I forgive you too!"

He shouted at Nezha.

"What? What are you going to forgive me? ”

Nezha didn't react for a while, until Ah Chou stretched out his hand and pointed to the room that had just been built.

"You ruined my house and fields," he looked at Nezha in the hazy moonlight and smiled, "I forgive you!" ”

Behind him, his mother and sister were also smiling at Nezha.
