"You took the money. ”

Lingqian was also a little anxious, and the voice in her throat rang out.

"We received the money, but we couldn't die in vain. You made so little preparation in the early stage, I originally thought that you were the eldest lady of the Ling family, and there must be a lot of magic weapons in your hands, and there will definitely be no shortage of magic weapons. But now? You don't know how to deal with the Moon Snake at all, and you're not ready to fight a tough battle, thinking that the Moon Snake is just an ordinary earth beast that can be easily handled? Or are you too confident that you think that you are the eldest lady of the Spirit Family, and even the goblin should give you a little bit of thin noodles?"

My voice rang out, and the atmosphere in the house suddenly became tense.

"You all don't say a few words, you still value peace, and there is no need to make enemies if business can't be done. ”

The fat man wanted to play a round on the side, but Lingqian's face was already blue and very ugly.

"If I say something wrong, you can point it out, but you still have to say what needs to be said. I won't take my brother to death, you can't solve it, we'll withdraw this business. ”

After speaking, I was about to walk out with a cigarette in my mouth, but I heard Lingqian call out to me.

"Wait!"

Her face was ugly, and she clenched her fists, I thought that this eldest lady was said to be in the sore spot and wanted to do something to me, but I didn't think that she frowned and said: "I will solve the problem of the snake in the moon, you will follow to the end after you take the money, if you go now, it will be a breach of the contract." ”

After saying that, she walked in front of me and left the house, walking in the direction of the village council.

After she walked away, the fat man lowered his head and said, "I feel that something is wrong with this girl, it is not the same as the last time I saw it in the Great Black Mountain." ”

I nodded and said, "I think so too, I guess there's something hidden." ”

"Shall we go?"

Luo Qiong didn't dare to interject on the side, and only said after thinking about it at this time.

"Although that girl is not reliable, what she said is still right, since we signed this business, we must follow to the end, and we can't lose our trust. ”

"I know, I'm out for a walk. ”

I walked out of the house with a cigarette in my mouth.

Walking around the village, the village, which had been quiet at night, was now very late, but it was still crowded with people, and many houses were lit up. There is only one telephone in the whole village, arranged in the commissary next to the village committee, and the boss has made great efforts to install it, and I heard the old party say that firecrackers were still set off when it was installed.

I walked to the kiosk and was about to walk back, when I heard a small voice in my ears. Someone is still calling so late? I walked to the back and listened carefully, and it turned out to be Lingqian's voice.

"Do you think of me as a member of the spirit family, I want no people, I want magic weapons without magic weapons, my brother's business is business, my business is not my business?

She seemed to be calling the Lingjia headquarters, and her voice was full of whining and complaining.

"You can't be so partial! I don't have to be worse than my brother, this business may have something to do with the Immortal Family, you give me more support, maybe it will be more effective than my brother opening a big ancient land! I repeat, I am the second lady of the Ling family, I want a magic weapon! Hey! Hey!"

The phone on the other side seemed to hang up, and I saw Lingqian slowly walking out of the darkness and walking forward with a lot of worry, but not in the direction of the residence, but towards the edge of the mountain spring.

I was a little curious, so I followed. After walking all the way, I finally saw Lingqian sitting by the gurgling stream, the cold moonlight shone obliquely, a bright light appeared on the water, and the night breeze gently blew the leaves, not cold but very cool.

She leaned against the stone, her hair a little disheveled, and shrugged her shoulders slightly as she turned her back to me, as if she were crying, but silently.

I didn't go out, but I didn't leave either, just standing quietly in the shadow of the trees.

"Come out. ”

She said suddenly, and I was stunned, thinking that she should have said that I should be her, and after a moment of hesitation, I stepped out of the grove and stood behind her.

"Are you alright?"

Even though we can't be friends, I won't be stingy with a simple greeting.

She didn't answer, and we were silent, listening to the sound of the wind in our ears, as if time was not flowing.

"Actually, I should say thank you today, if it weren't for you and the little imp you brought, I might have died in the cave, and you saved my life. ”

She whispered.

"You're welcome, you should be. ”

She hesitated for a moment and then said, "Did you hear the phone call I made to the Ling family just now?"

"Well, if your spirit family is really unwilling to support, we will have to figure out our own way. The fat man and I summed it up, after all, we signed a contract with you, and we can't break it casually. I don't think it's getting early, so let's go back and rest. ”

I want to leave under the pretext that I can, after all, I am not good enough to talk to Lingqian.

But perhaps this was the moment when the softest side of the girl's heart opened up, and she turned her head slowly, and the breeze blew under Daisy's cheeks, and her sadness turned into faint tears in the melancholy wind.

"I always wanted to prove that my brother and I were equal, and in our spiritual family, my brother had always been the one who coveted all the high hopes. He represents all the hopes of our spiritual family, and I remember when my father was still alive when he was a child, he always told me that one day my brother would surpass him and become the leader of this great spiritual family. I still remember that at an ignorant age, I always liked to watch him outside the family's practice field, even if I challenged a young master who was several years older than me, I never lost. On the day of the coming-of-age ceremony, the Ancestor handed him the token representing the highest status of our family. But standing in the crowd, I was not convinced at all. Why did my brother become the leader of the family, why can't I? I work hard, I'm good, I'm much better than my peers. But the family has never put their hopes on me, my father is like this, my ancestors are like this, and even the diners of the Ling family are like this. But I wanted to prove that I was good, but they didn't give me a chance. My brother's business is business, my business doesn't matter. He wants to open the Great Ancient Land, and there is no one in the entire family from top to bottom who does not support him, and I want to track down the Moon Snake, but I hear the diners secretly laughing behind their backs. Why, is it just because I'm a woman, just because I'm not a man?"

I understand the feeling of not vomiting and unpleasantness. I was silent after she finished speaking, and then said, "I'm sorry, I can't answer your question." Because we were born in different family environments......"

"yes, hehe......"

She gently wiped the tears from her face and turned her head away with a sneer.

"But, I actually envy you. ”

Lingqian was stunned for a moment, sneered and said, "Envy me, envy me for being a woman, or envy me for not being expected?"

"I envy you that you still have the confidence to prove yourself, and I envy that you still have the ambition to win respect. I grew up in a family that resembled a single parent, and my mother left my dad when I was very young. My father was not a very capable person, and as a child I always wore clothes with patches and always wore socks with holes. It's ridiculous to say that I first played with the fat man just because he had a better family, so that he would invite me to a popsicle. It's only a few pennies, but I don't have the money to buy it. Like you, no one expected much from me when I was a child. They all said that when I grew up, I would take over my father's position, or ask someone to be a counter cashier. I never wanted to prove myself because no one wanted to see me prove myself. You say you're disappointed because they think you're not as good as your brother. But since I was a child, I never thought about comparing myself to anyone, because I didn't have that qualification. Before I entered this industry, I already knew my fate. Be a waitress at the counter, marry an ordinary man, maybe live in my father's little house, and live the same life every day. ”

Lingqian was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Do you want to say that because I was born in a rich family, you are worse than me?"

"No!" I said resolutely, "I would say that in just half a year I started to change my life. From the kid who was destined to stand behind the counter and give people soy sauce to a demon seller who wandered among the monsters and did hundreds of thousands of business! But what you have to do is not to prove that you are better than your brother, but to prove to everyone that you are always changing and improving. That's all that matters!"
