I’m Being Held Captive by Demons

Outside the stone mill, Kong Ning was slightly silent, looking up and down at Shi Yong calmly.

False footsteps and unstable feet are not Lian Jiazi. 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 forerunner knew that Kong Ning was coming to kill it, so he made a detour from the outside to approach it. But Kong Ning felt that if the ability to see the future appeared on a little monster of this level, then he wouldn't have to mess around.

The target of the mysterious earthen jar is weaker than Kong Ning. This kind of little monster can predict the future?

It is a coincidence that Kong Ning is more inclined to Shi Yong's appearance.

Although it does not rule out the possibility that the other party is a monster...

After a few seconds of silence, Kong Ning said: You came just in time. I passed by here, intending to grind some flour and go home, but found that I didn't bring any wheat. Do you have extra wheat at home? Help me grind some flour, and I'll pay you.

As soon as Kong Ning opened his mouth, it was the old policeman who was fast.

Shi Yong's face froze, and then he squeezed out a warm smile and said: What did Lord Ning say? It's the villain's blessing that you can come to the mill. Just tell me how much flour Lord Ning wants, and the villain will go and grind it for you immediately. .”

The so-called Hades is easy to see, but the imp is hard to deal with. Kong Ning and his group of yamen policemen are the most respected characters in the county.

Even Kong Ning, who is relatively friendly and does not bully kindness, still has a lot of fixed income every month, not to mention the old colleagues in the yamen. With the treatment of a prisoner, if you don't want to find a way to make money, the salary of twelve taels a year is difficult to support one person. How can you have spare money to drink flowers and listen to ditties?

So in the eyes of the villagers, the image of Kong Ning and his gang of yamen arresters is probably no different from evil spirits, and even those green-skinned gangsters are afraid of them.

The only difference is that Kong Ning and the others generally don't go too far. After all, it is difficult to step down after angering the public.

But don't go too far refers to big evil things like bullying men and women.

It is absolutely impossible to pay for such trivial things as passing by to eat your two melons and asking you to grind two catties of flour. Even if Kong Ning insisted on paying, Shi Yong would not dare to accept it.

Leading the jujube horse and following Shi Yong to the gate of the mill, when Kong Ning tied the horse to the gate, Shi Yong pushed open the door and shouted to the mill: Sanniang! Sanniang! Lord Ning is here! Come out and do it! work!

Shi Yong's shout quickly called out his wife, a middle-aged woman with thick limbs and a dark face.

Seeing Kong Ning in official uniform, Zhao Sanniang, who opened the curtain and came out, immediately had a smile on her face: It's Master Ning, Sanniang has seen Master Ning.

The burly woman gave a curt salute, but Kong Ning nodded and said, Excuse me.

Under Shi Yong's warm reception, he sat down in the mill.

And Zhao Sanniang took Shi Yong's sack of wheat and went to operate the millstone to help Kongning grind the noodles. This bag of wheat that Shi Yong just bought has become empty just like that.

In the empty mill, the sound of the waterwheel shaking, the sound of the river flowing on the floor, and the sound of the millstone starting to turn, merged into strange sounds.

Kong Ning observed everything in front of him calmly, wondering if the monster in the mill could be the woman in front of him.

Shi Yong came out of the back room with a smile on his face, holding a jug of wine and two bowls, and said with a smile: The house is shabby, only this jug of water and wine is left, and I hope Lord Ning Haihan.

After Shi Yong sat down, he helped Kong Ningman up first, and then chatted with a smile.

Kong Ning was dealing with Shi Yong while observing the situation in the mill.

In the small mill, there seemed to be only Shi Yong and his wife. So could the monster be one of the couple?

After thinking about it, Kong Ning said: Where's your brother Shi Gui? Why haven't you seen him? Are you going to gamble again?

Shi Yong's younger brother, Shi Gui, is a bad gambler. He wanders around several small casinos in Shanlan County all year round, hangs out with a group of cronies, and is one of the main gangsters in the county.

Kong Ning and Kong Ning are old acquaintances, the kind where one was beaten and the other beat someone.

Kong Ning asked about the whereabouts of this person, wanting to confirm whether the other person was also in the mill.

If Shi Gui is not here at this time, then the demon should be Shi Yong and his wife who choose one of the two...

After Kong Ning finished asking, Shi Yong sighed, shook his head and said, I'm not afraid that Master Ning will laugh at him, Master Ning also knows the virtues of my ineffective younger brother.

I used to fool around outside every day, gamble badly, and steal money from the family. The villain beat and scolded me, but it just didn't work.

These days are good. He doesn't go out to gamble, but he shuts himself in the house every day, and he can't shout out. We even have to deliver the food to their door, just like a fucking master.

Hey...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, don't go out to gamble, don't hang out with those cronies, even if he stays at home every day as a master, I will accept it.

Father and mother died early. Sanniang and I have raised this brat since he was eight years old. As long as he doesn't gamble, everything will be fine... really... anything...

Shi Yong sighed and sighed endlessly, obviously tortured by his younger brother.

Zhao Sanniang, who was grinding noodles for Kong Ning, interjected: What nonsense are you talking about! Master Ning is here, what are you complaining about? Is Master Ning here to listen to your complaints? No one can see No!

Zhao Sanniang stared.

Shi Yong also came back to his senses, and quickly slapped his mouth: Look at my bad mouth... Don't take offense, Mr. Ning, 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, aware of the abnormality.

Shi Gui has locked himself in the house every day recently? Doesn't he go out?

How can this be!

That kind of rotten gambler who doesn't go out to gamble for a day is more uncomfortable than killing him. How can he hide in the house every day without going out.

Is Shi Gui the monster? Taken away by monsters? Or did the monster eat him and hide in the stone mill disguised as him?

Kong Ning thought about it in his heart, but his expression remained calm, and he asked: What is he doing when he shuts himself in the room every day? It's for no reason, surely he doesn't stay at home every day, does he?

Shi Yong also sighed, and said: Yeah... That kid will definitely not stay out for no reason. But I really don't understand what a bird is for fun.

Half a month ago, that kid picked up a bird from the outside, and he seemed to be possessed. He would nest in the house and talk to that bird every day, and he wouldn't answer anyone who told him.

I asked Lao Song, who raised birds, and Lao Song said that the bird was just an ordinary sparrow, and there was nothing unusual at all... Sigh... Shi Gui, this stinky boy, is really hopeless. It's not bad gambling, 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, I would have rushed in and thrown his broken birdcage into the river.

Shi Gui sighed, and couldn't help complaining again. Zhao Sanniang on the side winked again and again, but she still couldn't stop her husband from thinking about it in front of Kong Ning.

Kong Ning was slightly silent.

I picked up a strange bird half a month ago, and then stayed behind closed doors... Is there something wrong with that bird?

Kong Ning got up and said: I'll go see him, I haven't seen him for a while, I still miss him.

Kong Ning's abrupt actions made Shi Yong and his wife stunned, obviously shocked by Kong Ning's reaction.

Will Kongning, the county government officer, miss Shi Gui soon? This kind of nonsense, Kong Ning himself did not believe it.

In the mill, Shi Yong and his wife looked at each other slightly, and finally Shi Yong said: Master Ning, that kid really stays at home every day recently, and hasn't gone out to mess around...

Kong Ning glanced at him coldly, but didn't speak. Shi Yong's voice became smaller and smaller, and sweat began to drip from his forehead.

In the end, Shi Yong swallowed his saliva and said, Master Ning, come with me, that kid lives here...

Facing Kong Ning whose expression suddenly turned cold, Shi Yong obviously didn't have the courage to continue explaining.

He obediently stood up and walked ahead to lead Kong Ning the way.

Kong Ning followed behind him, quietly observing Shi Yong's reaction.

The hand is always pressed on the handle of the knife.

Although it seems that the possibility of Shi Yong being a monster is infinitely close to zero, Kong Ning still dare not relax. The two walked out of the empty mill one after the other, and walked towards the back.

The architectural structure of the stone plate mill is very simple. The outside is the mill, and the back is the place where Shi Yong's family eats and sleeps.

After opening the curtain and walking out of the mill, what Kong Ning saw was the water of the Wangjiang River. The wooden boards they stepped on were suspended over the Wangjiang River, with the wall of the mill on one side and the rushing river on the other.

Walking on the narrow path that only allowed one person to pass, Kong Ning and Shi Yong came to a side room on the outermost side.

This side house is also suspended over the river, with a small area. It was a very hot day, the sun was scorching, and the air was stuffy, 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, Shi Gui's impatient shout came from inside.

I won't go out! I told you I won't go out! Just leave the food 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 had a conditioned reflex.

But this time, Shi Yong followed Kong Ning, the situation was different.

The shirtless, strong man stared at him and said: Open the door quickly! You're so fucking used to it, Master Ning said he wanted to come and see you. If you keep making a fuss, I'll kick the door in and beat you up!

Shi Yong scolded directly.

In the room, Shi Gui's suspicious voice sounded.

Master Ning? Which Lord Ning?

Shi Yong was about to speak, but Kong Ning had already laughed and said, Which Master Ning are you talking about?

In the next second, the door was opened immediately.

Shi Gui, who was pale and nervous, looked at the police outside the door, his legs seemed to be trembling.

Ning... Lord Ning... I haven't done anything recently... We stay at home every day and never go out. If Huzi and the others did something, it must have nothing to do with me!

This green-skinned rascal who has been in the classroom several times and was treated well by Kong Ning and the others, when seeing Kong Ning is like a mouse seeing a cat, he subconsciously leaves himself clean first.
