Chapter 3

The night is windy, the moon is like a silver plate, and the sky is full of stars.

Su Ling moved a small stool and sat at the door of her dilapidated side room. Her curly hair like autumn chrysanthemums moved slightly in the clear night wind. Who did her hair follow?The mother is a typical black and straight, and the father is also an authentic Chinese race, but she has natural curly hair of tea brown...

Don’t get me wrong, there is no Lao Wang next door to her house!

When they were just born, their parents were taken aback by this hair color, but as time went on, they also regarded it as a genetic mutation... oh no, a slight genetic change.

She hugged her knees with both hands, and then slowly raised her white palms to cover her eyes. Through the gaps between her fingers, she looked at the huge silver moon and the twinkling stars in the sky.

"Alas..." She was terrified when she thought of going to see Su Xia in a while, Su Ling sighed lightly, lazily withdrew her palm and put it back on her knee, her eyes were a little dazed...

"I really want to leave here..." murmured in a low voice, and suddenly spit out from the mouth of the young girl with an immature face.

It's not been a day or two since she had this idea, and it's not that she has no clue and no plan. She thought about being a troubadour, but she has no literary talent.Be a shoemaker, travel the rivers and lakes, and make a living by craftsmanship, but... what about my mother.

In the end, after much deliberation, becoming a psychic was the most reliable option.In this world, psychics are an extremely rare profession, because monsters and evil spirits are prevalent and people are in dire straits, so psychics are needed to get rid of monsters and spirits.

The conditions for becoming a psychic are also extremely harsh. First of all, one must have the power of inspiration. This is innate, and even a person with a high level of cultivation cannot change it at will. Fortunately, Su Ling is born with a very strong power of inspiration.

Secondly, it is necessary to know spells.Psychic psychic, is to sign a contract with the spirit, so as to use the ability of spirit beasts to fight, but only intermediate or advanced psychics have the ability to have extremely powerful spirit beasts, and the ability of spirit beasts only plays an auxiliary role. The spiritual master's own cultivation is very important, so he needs to learn all kinds of spells, but...she doesn't know it at all, and there are no such books in the warehouse...

Frustration filled my heart.

Just as he was sighing, the sound of slow footsteps came from behind, it was Sun Yiping.

Su Ling turned her head and saw that her mother had finished taking care of it, looking at her with a smile.

"Linger."

"Wow~~~~" Su Ling opened her mouth wide in surprise, stepped forward quickly, and circled around her mother, "Is this a fairy descending to earth? Mother, you are too beautiful! We stand together, it is so beautiful! It's the two sisters!"

Sun Yiping laughed softly, raised her hand and tapped Su Ling's forehead, and said in a doting tone: "Slippery! When will I get rid of this poor mouth."

Su Ling was laughing silly, but what she said was true. Sun Yiping was wearing a green skirt, with a jade-colored satin ribbon around her waist, decorated with small crystal beads, which was very beautiful.Light makeup and thin powder covered her sickly dying face, and her cheeks became rosy.In addition, Sun Yiping herself has a dignified and elegant demeanor, soft-spoken, and reveals softness everywhere.

Seeing Su Ling's foolish look, the smile in Sun Yiping's eyes became even stronger. She lightly stroked the tea-brown hair, and she said with a smile: "My daughter is also a beauty, as long as she dresses up well..."

Mom, are you sure you're praising me? !

Su Ling pursed her lips, "I still need to dress up when I go to see Su Xia? The rouge and pink money are for nothing." ~(﹝)~~~
"Don't you think so?" Su Ling shrugged, "Mom, do you want to see Su Xia?"

Hearing this, Sun Yiping paused and then said calmly: "You still have to have basic courtesy."

"Okay, I see."

Su Xia, Su Guofeng and Li Yanmei's daughter, Su Ling's older sister, seldom appears in the Su family, why?Because the literary youth of the family are highly educated intellectuals, of course they are different from Su Ling, a vulgar person who does not understand culture~~
Su Ling has been naughty since she was a child, and it was a kind of torture for her to sit quietly at the desk and study. The personality of getting big head when she saw a book was obviously in stark contrast to Su Xia.And Su Xia is mean, and looks down on uneducated common people the most, in fact, she alludes to Su Ling.When the two met, they pinched and satirized each other.

This time she came back unexpectedly, presumably either she has achieved something in her studies, or she is getting rich, and bloody verbal battles must be indispensable...

Both mother and daughter hated Su Guofeng's family tacitly. On the surface, this banquet was to show the harmony of the Su family, but in fact it was to elevate Su Xia and belittle Su Ling.

Haha, their family is really funny...

Going round and round through the path decorated with vegetation, trees and stone forests, you can dimly see dots of orange red, which are the light from the red lanterns on the attic, and the halo yellow from the candle lamps in the paper window makes people feel inexplicably beautiful.

The quaint buildings gradually appeared in front of her eyes, and Su Ling was driven to the side room since she could remember, but for Sun Yiping, there were too many memories of the man she thought about day and night, and it was only because the nervous Su Ling didn't I can see the slight melancholy in my mother's eyes...

The main hall is very spacious. Dishes have been placed on the round table with carved sandalwood in the middle. Su Guofeng and his family are sitting next to it. The two empty chairs naturally belong to Su Ling and his mother.

"Sister-in-law and Ling'er are here." Li Yanmei saw Su Ling and her mother who had pushed the door to enter, and rushed to greet them warmly. "It's cold at night, and my sister-in-law is already weak. It's our fault if she catches a cold."

Is this guy... not taking medicine? !

Why are you so enthusiastic today?She completely lost the aggressiveness of the past, and looked more like...a demure lady?

Yes, too gentle!
Su Ling looked suspiciously at Li Yanmei who was inexplicably convulsed, her mind filled with question marks in bold and enlarged version...

Is it because of guilt about what happened in the morning?
It seems unlikely...

"Ling'er, look at what I'm doing, come in quickly! The food will be cold in a while."

Enthusiasm, so much enthusiasm...

After sitting down, Su Ling looked around the main hall carefully. She didn't come here very often, and it was the first time she looked at "her own house" so seriously.

The square room is covered with crimson soft carpets, the faint sandalwood fragrance fills the surroundings, the hollowed-out tallow window reflects the faint night, the pink-yellow curtain hangs down with tassels, and the candlelight on the lampstand The red light is slowly floating, and the exquisite and delicate ornaments are everywhere, which is really the exquisite decoration.

Su Ling doesn't care about these superficial things. She doesn't live here. It's nothing more than a bed, a quilt, a table and two chairs, and a simple meal.

However, there is no harm without comparison.Looking at it now, the lives of the two Su families in the same house are really different, and the life of her and her mother is really rough...

"Sister-in-law, I don't know why Su Xia came back this time?" Sun Yiping asked when the maid brought the tableware and teacups for the two of them. It can be counted, and it is really curious to suddenly appear.

Su Guofeng and his wife looked at each other and smiled, with an expression of "Why are you asking now!", Li Yanmei turned her face back, and after showing a sweet smile that was so sweet, she said excitedly, "Of course it's a happy event!"

"happy event?"

"That's right." Li Yanmei rubbed her hands happily, with a smile on her fat face, she said slowly, "Young master of the Lin family, come to propose marriage today!"

Young master of the Lin family?Su Ling thought for a moment, and remembered that there was indeed such a person in Dongliu Town.

That's why she was so enthusiastic just now, well, feelings are when people are happy and refreshed!

Glancing sideways, she saw a delicate smile flashing across Su Xia's expressionless face.It seems that this Mr. Lin has a good reputation, because Su Xia has always been picky and picky, so she delayed marrying so late. The young master who can make her smile is either rich or talented, otherwise How can I get into her Dharma eyes.

Sun Yiping was also surprised when she heard the words, "Young master of the Lin family! He is such a good son-in-law. The Lin family made their fortune with a bank. He is a talented person with a dignified appearance, and he can compose his own poems and poems while reading a lot of books, he is really outstanding, and he is indeed right!"

That's right, it's sibling love... Hehe...

Su Ling complained in her heart.

After being told by Sun Yiping, Su Guofeng and his wife couldn't hide the joy in their hearts, their eyes were narrowed into slits, and Su Xia was cured of facial paralysis, so it was rare that he didn't show that cold face.

"Isn't that right? The neighbors in the neighborhood say so. In Dongliu Town, only the Lin family is worthy of our family, Su Xia. They are all rushing to drink the wedding wine!"

That's right, the Su Lin family is a big family in Dongliu Town. Although the Su family is not as prosperous as before, the camel is still bigger than the horse after all. The red envelope for marriage is definitely indispensable. Who would not go to pick up money for nothing~
Su Xia was even more shy when she saw her mother acting like this. She lost her usual uncaring look and even coquettishly asked her to stop talking.

Su Guofeng was obviously in a good mood, and he took a sip of the sake in his shallow glass, "The old customers of Cloth Village heard about this happy event, and they clamored to come, and they couldn't even shirk their excuses!"

Su Ling really wanted to add to him later: Now I don't have to worry about the downturn in cloth village business!

It's perfect... (please fill in the Venus face)

If Su Ling didn't say anything auspicious at this time, she would obviously feel a little sorry. After all, she was her sister.But after holding it in for a long time, she couldn't think of a flattering word to say. Maybe it was because she was too upright?
And at this moment, everyone was staring at her. It seemed that if Su Ling didn't say anything, the scorching eyes would miss her.

Turning her head slightly, Su Ling's eyes widened immediately, because she found that Sun Yiping was also looking at her, and... an expression of anticipation!

What a real mother, don't you know that your daughter is not good at lying? !

She picked up the wine glass in embarrassment, her smile was really stiff, "What, sister Su Xia, congratulations, you finally married a satisfactory groom."

Crowd: ...

Su Xia twitched the corners of her mouth in embarrassment, her original sweet expression instantly disappeared, and she was beaten back to the cold and paralyzed Miss Su family again.

Uh... did I say something wrong?

She turned her head slightly again and found that her mother was also winking at her.

Ok, wrong word...

Su Ling: "No, what I mean is, this marriage is really hard-won... I wish you happiness..."

Everyone again: ...

Well, the more you paint, the darker it is!then,
Su Lingyang raised his glass, sighed, "Stop talking, it's all in the wine!"

Hey, you are very proud.

However, this smell...

Little sister, are you an adult?So, it's tea...

The corners of Su Xia's mouth twitched more and more frequently, almost becoming epileptic.But you have to forgive your sister, because she is really upright!

Li Yanmei saw that her daughter's complexion was not good, and she didn't want to spoil the festive atmosphere, so she opened her mouth to ease the atmosphere: "By the way, sister-in-law is feeling better these two days?"

Nonsense, if you don't pay for the medicine, how much better will it be!

But Sun Yiping is still self-cultivated, and said with a smile: "Thank you sister-in-law for your concern, it's still the same."

"Oh, how can this work!" She pretended to be worried, "How about this, an old customer of Buzhuang a few days ago gave me a pill for difficult and miscellaneous diseases, it's useless to keep it, you can take it first, They are all made of precious medicinal materials, which should work.”

Sun Yiping smiled and thanked: "Thank you very much, sister-in-law. This way I will have the strength to attend Xiaoxia's wedding."

The conversation is over, it's not painful, it's still embarrassing...

But what makes Su Ling happy is that Li Yanmei still has a conscience and knows that her mother is sick and has no medicine. Although most of the reason is that she doesn't want her mother's illness to disturb the joy of her daughter's wedding, but even so, Su Ling I'm happy, as long as the disease is cured~~
"Um, how is Ling'er's recent studies, can she keep up?" Seeing the solemn atmosphere, Su Guofeng also began to break the silence, so he asked about Su Ling, "Why don't you give her more tutoring while Xiaoxia is at home?"

Did the couple take the wrong medicine?It's medicine delivery and free one-on-one counseling.

But the only thing that hasn't changed is Su Xia. Before Sun Yiping could answer, she took the conversation away, "I can't tutor you. The teachers in the private school made her so angry that she almost had a heart attack. I can't stand it."

Rolling eyes and contemptuous tone, hehe, this is just like Su Xia.I don't know why this eldest son of the Lin family has such a strong taste. He is in a relationship with siblings and has early menopause. After marriage, he regrets it!
On the other hand, Su Ling is not to be outdone, she has always been like this, people will not offend me, I will not offend, but since I have been bullied, I have to return it, so I blurted out: "I want you to teach me, I am afraid that you will teach me badly." , I know that I have a brain for studying, and I don't want to become a nerd."

She also rolled her eyes~~who wouldn't~~
Su Xia snorted coldly, out of breath but still maintained aloofness: "I'm still afraid of getting in bad luck with you, a mere ominous brute, first killed your father, and then made Aunt Sun poor health, I'm afraid Stay away from you, it will make my wedding a mess."

This is the correct way for the two sisters to get along, but what Su Xia said was too much, and it hit Su Ling against her scales...

Before she finished speaking, Su Xia only felt a breeze in front of her eyes. When she reacted, Su Ling had already grasped her collar tightly. Then she slowly lifted it up and spoke in a dangerous tone: "Say it again!"

Everyone at the table didn't slow down. They stared blankly at the scene in front of them. Su Xia's face was already pale with fright, and Su Guofeng and his wife were even more so. Everyone in the entire Su family knew about Su Ling's life. Ability, being with those ghosts all day, must have learned some magic, everyone is afraid, let alone what will happen to Su Xia who provoked her at this moment.

But there is only one person who is not afraid, and that is...

"Don't put your sister down yet!" Sun Yiping stood up, but it seemed that she couldn't stand steadily because of her weak body, so she could only barely support the edge of the table.

"Mom, don't you look at what she said! It's obviously not my fault, why put the responsibility on me, tell me, what did I do wrong?!"

These last few words were obviously addressed to Su Xia.

Murderous, vicious, violent, full of it, can't help but make people shudder...

"Ling'er, let's talk it out if we have something to say, let's put your sister down first, huh?" Li Yanmei was eager to save her daughter, she tried to persuade her, and so did Su Guofeng.

"Su Ling, we all know that we have wronged you all these years, but there is nothing we can do about it. We, we are also afraid."

no way?Fear?
Just a few words, are there any reason to send a child who knows nothing to hell?Do you want to attribute any fault to her for any reason?
Thinking of this, she became even more furious, ignoring her mother's frowning and melancholy eyes, the strength in her hands involuntarily increased, and the lifting became higher and higher...

And Su Xia in her hand seemed to have lost any momentum, her throat, which was tightened by the collar, couldn't breathe because of the strength, and her face was flushed red.

Su Guofeng and his wife saw that this situation was not good, but they did not dare to rush forward rashly. Although Sun Yiping was close to Su Ling, she did not know that the child who usually loved to laugh and talk a lot had such bloody scars hidden in her heart.

Su Linghan's star-like cold eyes flashed with a faint white light. With just such a glance, no one dared to act rashly. She raised her right hand and said loudly: Believe it or not, I will..."

However, she hasn't finished speaking yet.

suddenly,

boom!
