Restarting Life After Forcibly Marrying the Demon Queen

176 Elderly living alone

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

Having warmed up, Luo Ning walked around the house and 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 hot cup of milk.

“Drink it after a while, it’s a little hot.”

The old man slowly sat back in the rocking chair, which was a little old and creaking.

Luo Ning nodded and put the cup aside first.

“Old man, are you alone here?” In order to take care of the hearing of the elderly man, Luo Ning kept his voice slow.

The old man heard this and shook his head.

“My wife left early, and my son… also left.”

“gone?”

Luo Ning didn’t realize what the old man meant by ‘go’ for a while.

Although the old man looks 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? It’s so close to Yilan King City. If you go missing, it won’t be hard to find, right?”

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

“I disappeared. He took the team to complete a commission. He said that after completing this order, he would have money to support me in retirement, so he would no longer have to run around, and he could always stay with me…”

The old man’s vicissitudes of voice became even more helpless and pale when he fell into desolate memories.

Her turbid eyes reflected the fire in the fireplace, she shook her head again and again, and sighed a long time.

“Your son is an adventurer?” Luo Ning asked suddenly.

“Well…he worshipped the profession of adventurer since he was a child, and he also had some magical talents. When he grew up, he became an adventurer.”

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

“He’s always so headstrong. I told him that adventurers are a high-risk profession, and I asked him to be a carpenter, but he wouldn’t listen… Everyone has dreams, and it’s a good thing to stick to their dreams. Later, I also respected his choose.”

“…that was a commission issued by the empire, he said he would come back with honor and wealth, I like fields and toss some flowers and plants, he said he wanted to get a piece of land in the hands of the empire, I can put what I like 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 photo, and my memories of him are only left in my memory. I need to remember every day so as not to forget his face.”

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

Time always heals everything.

“Mother-in-law, where’s my milk!”

Raz wrapped a white towel on his head and jumped over from the next room.

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

This was Raz’s first 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 took the first step to the table.

She saw the 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 go, and only when he turned around did he realize that he seemed to have drank the milk of the pink cat.

Cat Niang was wearing the loose clothes that Luo Ning gave her before, holding a black kitten in her arms. The kitten was the pet that the old man kept at home.

Probably due to the similarity of the species, the little black cat was completely unguarded by the cat lady, lying on her body comfortably, and the cat lady also hugged it tenderly.

“It’s very afraid of life and rarely gets close to others.”

The old man was surprised that the little black cat was lying on the cat girl’s arms.

The cat girl gently stroked the black cat sleeping on her arm and smiled.

The old man didn’t care that she had cat ears and cat tail, nor did the cat in his arms. They were all close to her, and her heart was quiet for a long time.

Luo Ning put his cup of milk in front of the cat girl, he was not very interested in this kind of thing.

Cat Niang was a little dazed. She didn’t expect to drink hot milk after bathing, so she was pleasantly surprised.

“Old lady, I want to ask, why are there no monsters around here?” Luo Ning turned to the old man beside him.

“Warcraft…”

The old man replied slowly: “In the past, there were always a lot of them. Later, when there were more adventurers, there were fewer monsters. Now, monsters are almost hard to see… Anywhere there are monsters, there will be crusades the next day. Entrusted, it is said that those adventurers always make trouble for these things.”

The old man shook his head again and again.

Everyone has been young, and when she was young, she always thought of racial grievances and revenge against the demons with enthusiasm.

But once people get old, they will wake up and realize that only tranquility and peace are what they need.

“Then if… if you want to meet a demon dragon, will there be one nearby?” Luo Ning asked again.

It is also a top priority for him to solve the problem of slow moving speed. If the old man living alone on this vast grassland can provide him with some clues, it would be better.

“It’s hard to even meet monsters now… I haven’t seen a dragon for many years.”

The old man didn’t mind Luo Ning’s problems 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 King Yilan City to see… There will be many traces of demon beasts posted on the guild’s board, and you don’t have to crusade them after taking 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 at home waiting for you to go back.”

“Um…thank you.”

Luo Ning remembered a little bit of the grandma who held him in his arms when he was a child, always told him some big truths that he didn’t understand at all, but his voice was gentle and kind.

After the original family was broken, he never saw her again. Luo Ning had even forgotten her face, 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 to prepare a place for you to sleep.”

The old man stood up, her aged body made it difficult for her to walk, and limped to another small room.

“You go help.”

After the old man left, Luo Ning ordered the cat girl standing beside him.

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