Restarting Life After Forcibly Marrying the Demon King

The old man walked slowly, and the moment he opened the window, he was startled.

"Hey, why are there children here..."

The old man's voice was old and weak, and Raz's innocent face was reflected in his cloudy eyes.

No matter how you say it, Raz is an angel, and the beauty of an angel is inherent, especially for a petite angel like Raz, it is hard for people to reject her simplicity.

"Grandma, I want to drink that cup of hot milk!"

Raz crossed his arm and pointed to the glass of steaming milk by the fireplace.

Raz clearly felt that the person below her was pinching her arm, Raz let out a 'huh', and quickly changed his words.

"Grandma, it's raining heavily outside...we want to stay for one night..."

Raz's eyes are watery and watery, and this kind of look is hard to refuse, especially for the elderly, it almost hurts for a second.

"Hey, come in quickly..."

The old man wanted to bow and hug Raz from the window sill, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he limped towards the door.

"Quick, this way, come here, go in this way." The old man's tone was a little anxious.

Luo Ning took Raz over there, and at this time the catwoman had already tied up the horse.

The three of them appeared at the door at the same time, and the old man was stunned when he opened the door.

"Old man, I'm sorry, we are travelers, and we were supposed to go directly to Ilan King City today, but the sudden rainstorm took us..."

"Let's talk in the house first, and talk in the house."

The old man didn't care what Luo Ning was talking about at all, he just cared that the three children were all soaked.

She led Luo Ning in, and it was difficult for Luo Ning to refuse.

The old man grabbed Luo Ning's wrist and led him away.

The old man's hands were skinny, with dry palms and wrinkled hands, but there was a trace of warmth in them.

Before Luo Ning had time to say anything, after being brought into the house by the old man, a warm blanket was thrown over.

Luo Ning was covered by a blanket and draped over his wet hair.

"Young man, take care of yourself first. You two girls will go to the house with me. I have hot water and towels here. Take a shower first."

After the old man settled Luo Ning by the fireplace, he took Laz and Catgirl to the back room.

"Hey, mother-in-law, don't be so troublesome, just drink a glass of milk for Raz, and Raz is in good health, and won't get sick in the rain!"

Raz shook her wet curly hair. She really wanted to use purification magic to clean her body, but the gods said that magic cannot be used outside.

The old man smiled kindly. When the wrinkled old face was smiling, the wrinkles were pulled away. It can be vaguely seen that the old man must have been a beautiful girl when he was young.

"There is milk, there is a lot of it, and you can drink it slowly after taking a bath... You must take a hot bath, otherwise you will catch a cold and burn the root of the disease, and you will suffer when you get old."

The old man's face is kind and kind, and such earnest nagging always reminds people of their elders.

Raz seemed to have a hard time rejecting her, so he turned his head to see what Kami-sama meant.

Luo Ning just sat in front of the fireplace and warmed himself by the fire, and raised his jaw at Laz, indicating that Laz could go, but he had to watch out for the cat girl.

Leaving other issues aside, the old man himself was not dangerous, and the taken away Raz was extremely powerful, so Luo Ning didn't have to worry about that.

Raz nodded: "Okay, then Raz goes to take a shower!"

"That's good, grandma will heat up the milk for you, it was freshly squeezed this morning, and there are still several cups..."

"Good! Raz wants two drinks!"

Raz and Catwoman were ushered into another door by the old man. Luo Ning sat in front of the fireplace, wiping his hair with a blanket, and kept looking around.

This room is not small, but it is very empty, except for tables and chairs, there is no other furniture in sight.

There are two wooden chairs next to the small square dining table, a pot of green plants on the table, and a clean carpet under the table.

Apart from the fireplace in front of Luo Ning, the only thing left was a rocking chair.

Luo Ning wanted to get more clues through observation, but the old man's home was so simple that he couldn't even see a picture frame.

176 Elderly living alone

The soaked clothes were gradually heated by the fire, and the dripping hair was much better after being wiped with a blanket.

His body had already warmed up, Luo Ning walked around the room, and then sat back on the chair by the fireplace.

The old man came in from the back room with several round wooden cups in his hand.

She handed one of the wooden cups to Luo Ning. Luo Ning looked down and saw that it was a cup of hot milk.

"Let's drink it after cooling down, it's a bit hot to the mouth."

The old man slowly sat back on the rocking chair. The rocking chair was a bit old and creaked.

Luo Ning nodded, and put the cup aside first.

"Old man, are you the only one living here?" In order to take care of the elderly's hearing, Luo Ning played his voice slowly.

Hearing this, the old man shook his head.

"My wife left early, and my son... also left."

"gone?"

For a while, Luo Ning didn't realize what the old man meant by 'go'.

Although the old man seemed to be over sixty years old, it stands to reason that her son should be in his prime.

"Well, gone... They said he disappeared, and he never came back after he left..."

"Missing? How could it be missing? This place is so close to Elan King City. If it goes missing, it's not hard to find, right?"

The old man smiled, just kept shaking his head, while answering Luo Ning:

"Missing. He took the team to complete a commission. He said that after completing the order, he would have money for my retirement, so he would never have to run around again, and he could stay with me all the time..."

The old man's already vicissitudes of life seemed even more helpless and pale when he fell into bleak memories.

Her cloudy eyes reflected the firelight in the fireplace, she shook her head again and again, and let out a long sigh.

"Your son is an adventurer?" Luo Ning asked suddenly.

"Hmm... He admired the profession of adventurers since he was a child, and he also has some magical talents, so he became an adventurer when he grew up."

Maybe it's because a person has been alone for too long, and it's rare to meet someone who speaks. There are many things the old man wants to say, and the old memories that have been recalled countless times are on his lips.

"He is always so capricious. I told him that being an adventurer is a high-risk job, and I asked him to be a carpenter, but he didn't listen... Everyone has dreams, and it's a good thing to stick to your dreams. Later, I also respected him. choose."

"...that was a commission issued by the empire. He said that he would come back with honor and wealth. I like the fields, and I like to toss some flowers and plants. He said that he would bring a piece of land in the hands of the empire. I can put my favorite All the flowers are planted there."

"Later, he left and never came back. I don't like flowers and plants anymore."

"He didn't even leave a single photo, and my memory of him is only in memory. I need to recall it every day, so as not to forget his face."

After the old man finished talking on her own, her tone was calm, without emotional ups and downs, as if she was talking about a peaceful thing.

Time always heals everything.

"Mother-in-law, where's my milk!"

Raz, with a white towel wrapped around his head, came bouncing from the next room.

Her body was steaming, and her whole body was like a hot bun just out of the oven.

This was the first time Raz took a hot bath. Before that, she used magic every time she cleaned her body.

"On the table, I put it on the table..."

The old man stood up with difficulty, and Raz walked to the table first.

She saw two cups of milk on the table, and because she had agreed to drink two cups in advance, she subconsciously thought that these were her own.

Raz drank the two glasses of milk in one gulp, only to realize that he drank the pink cat's milk.

The catwoman was wearing the loose clothes that Luo Ning had given her before, holding a black kitten in her arms. The kitten was a pet kept by the old man at home.

Probably due to the similar species, the little black cat was not on guard against the cat lady at all, and lay comfortably on her body, and the cat lady also hugged it tenderly.

"It is very shy and rarely takes the initiative to get close to others."

The old man was surprised by the little black cat lying in the catwoman's arms.

The catwoman gently stroked the black cat sleeping on her arm, and smiled slightly.

The old man didn't care at all that she had cat ears and a cat tail, and the cat in her arms didn't care either. They all got close to her, and her heart became peaceful after a long time.

Luo Ning put his cup of milk in front of the catwoman, he was not very interested in such things.

The catwoman was a bit at a loss. She hadn't expected to have hot milk after bathing, so she was pleasantly surprised.

"Grandma, I want to ask, why are there no monsters around here?" Luo Ning turned to ask the old man beside him.

"Warcraft..."

The old man replied slowly: "In the past there were always many monsters. Later, when there were more adventurers, there were fewer monsters. Now, monsters are almost hard to see... Anywhere where monsters appear, there will be crusades the next day." Commissioned, it is said that those adventurers will always make troubles for these things."

The old man shook his head repeatedly.

Everyone has been young, and when she was young, she always thought passionately about racial grievances and revenge against the demons.

But once a person is old, he will wake up, and only tranquility and peace are what he needs.

"Then if...you want to meet a magic dragon, is there one around here?" Luo Ning asked again.

Solving the problem of slow movement is also a top priority for him. If the old man living alone on this vast grassland can provide him with some clues, that would be even better.

"It's hard to even meet a monster now... I haven't seen a monster dragon for many years."

The old man didn't mind Luo Ning's many questions at all, but she really wanted to chat with the young man after a long absence.

"If you really want to see that kind of behemoth, I suggest you go directly to the Adventurer's Guild in Ilan King City... There will be many traces of monsters posted on the board of the guild. You don't have to hunt them down after accepting the quest. It can also be used as a sightseeing tour.”

"It may be a good thing for young people to pursue their dreams, but... don't forget that there will be parents waiting for you to go back home."

"Um...thank you."

Luo Ning somewhat remembered the grandma who hugged him when he was a child, and always told him some big truths that he didn't understand, with a gentle and kind voice.

After the original family was broken up, she never saw her again. Luo Ning even forgot the other person's appearance, but vaguely remembered her grandmother's gray hair and wrinkled skin.

"Then I won't chat with you for too long. I'm tired from the journey. I'll go and prepare a place for you to sleep."

The old man stood up while speaking, her old body made her move hard, and she limped to another small room.

"You go and help."

After the old man left, Luo Ning ordered to the catwoman standing beside him.

The catwoman nodded obediently, put down the little black cat in her hand, and followed in the direction the old man left.

177 hair loss

The rain outside the window was much lighter, and the bean-sized raindrops became a series of continuous drizzles.

The sound of rain was completely blocked by the wooden house, and the only sound in the house was the crackling of damp wood burning.

Beside the fireplace, Luo Ning was the only male, and he was also the only one sleeping in the living room.

Raz also slept with the catgirl in the next room.

Luo Ning felt much relieved after losing this piece of brown candy after a long absence.

At least that's what he thought for a second.

"My lord, my lord~"

Luo Ning clearly felt the blanket under him move.

He didn't even have to think about it to know who got under the covers.

"Are you unable to sleep without pressing my chest?" Luo Ning said helplessly.

In the past few days, Raz has been sleeping on Luo Ning's body as a matter of course. Luo Ning felt that his chest was tight and short of breath the whole time.

"Hey," Laz chuckled, "I'm used to it..."
