Chapter 248: Tricky
"Leng Feng? There you are? Bai Xiaojie pointed in the direction of the ancestral hall and said, "Mu Ling is sitting in the ancestral hall and refuses to come out, you go and accompany her." ”
"What the hell is going on?" I asked.
"It's Mu Ling's mother here." Bai Xiaojie said such an answer that surprised me.
I didn't say anything, just nodded, turned around and walked in the direction of the ancestral hall. When I arrived at the door, I wanted to knock on the door, but I found that the door was not closed properly and was hidden.
"Mu Ling." I pushed the door open, and the girl sat down on the futon with her hands on her knees, burying her head deeply.
She raised her head and saw me, got up and threw herself into my arms: "Leng Feng, you are here." I don't know what to do. ”
"Don't you really want to see your mother? Now that she's here, why aren't you upset? I asked her.
"If your father tells you that he sent you to the orphanage back then, and that he is the one who faces his own daughter every day, he just won't recognize him. And your biological mother, who is obviously not dead, but has been avoiding you, can you be happy? Bai Muling said in one breath.
"Wait, it's a bit informative." I had no choice but to hold her like this, and figure out what she was talking about as soon as possible.
Bai Muling didn't let me continue to guess on my own, but told me what happened. Bai Qi is her biological father, and when she was only a month old, she was sent to an orphanage. Later, although Bai Qi brought her back, he refused to tell his daughter the truth for so many years.
Even when Bai Muling regarded him as his biological father, he also told Bai Muling that she was not his daughter, which made Bai Muling haunted by this matter.
Bai Muling's mother's name is Liu Cheng'er, that is, the woman Bai Lin mentioned to me. For so many years, even Bai Xiaojie had never seen her. A few days ago, she suddenly appeared. came to the ghost shadow gate of Gluttony Town and told Bai Muling that she was her biological mother.
It's no wonder that Bai Muling can't bear it, it's not good for anyone to put this matter, including me, I guess I can't accept this fact.
"Didn't you ask them why they did this to you?" After Bai Muling calmed down, I sat with her on the futon. I looked at her and asked.
"If you ask, it's just a sentence, and it's hard to say." Bai Muling replied, "Dad, he was even more excessive, and even told me that he didn't know that his mother was not dead. ”
"Are they talking about it now?" I asked again.
"Yes. They locked me and my sister outside and were discussing it. Bai Muling replied, "I don't understand why I don't let me hear about this matter about myself." ”
"Let's go, I'll go with you to ask, I believe there must be some kind of connection behind this. I don't believe Bai Qi is such a person. I took her hand and stood up.
Bai Muling thought about it, but still nodded his head. Ran towards the lobby with me, and when we went, Bai Qi had already opened the door, and Bai Xiaojie had also entered.
When I walked inside, I saw Bai Qi standing at the window smoking a cigarette, and there was a woman sitting in the room, about the same age as Bai Xiaojie, and there was no one else, at this age, I really couldn't associate her with the word mother.
"Uncle Qi, what's going on?" I asked.
Bai Qi turned his head to look at me and said, "I knew that your kid would come, say, are you interesting to my daughter?" Always run to me. ”
"We're friends." I replied.
"Friends? Friend, why do you care about our family affairs? "Bai Qi is like a different person." , this matter has nothing to do with you, don't be bored here. ”
"Then if I'm her boyfriend, can I manage this?" Bai Qi didn't look like he was joking, he was serious, so I can only say this.
As soon as I said this, everyone in the room looked at me. After a while, Bai Qi sneered and said, "You are also worthy?" What do you think my two daughters are? Yes? You swing between them! ”
"He is!" Bai Muling said loudly, "My sister is not true to him, and my sister has also explained this." Now, he's my boyfriend! ”
"Don't be ashamed!" Bai Qi glared at her.
"What's there to be ashamed of? Aunt Bai Lin can go to the underworld for the people she likes, why don't I dare to say that I like anyone? Bai Muling argued loudly.
"Ugh." Bai Qi sighed deeply, then softened his face and said, "Okay, since you said so, I have nothing to say, Mu Ling, Xiaojie, you go out." I'm going to talk to Leng Feng about this alone. ”
"It's my business, why should I go out?" Bai Muling's little temper came up, and he couldn't control it a little.
"Get out!" Bai Qi shouted sharply.
Bai Muling's two big eyes flashed with thunder, and it was estimated that Bai Qi had never yelled at her like this. She just stood there, refusing to move. It wasn't until Bai Xiaojie pulled her that she was taken out.
Bang! With a wave of Bai Qi's hand, the door was closed, and a spell came from multiple places in his hand and pasted it on the door.
"It's an enchantment, and they can't hear the conversation outside." Bai Qi solved my doubts, pointed to an empty chair and said, "Sit down and talk." ”
I sat down on the chair, and Bai Qi pointed to the woman and introduced, "Her name is Liu Cheng'er, and she is my wife." ”
"Hello Aunt Liu." I nodded slightly.
She smiled at me and nodded her head. Bai Qi lit a cigarette again before he spoke: "I know you're wondering why, after so many years, she hasn't aged like me." To put it simply, she is not human now, it is a soul-parasitic spell, similar to the willow sacrifice spirit of our Ghost Shadow Gate. ”
"Twenty years ago, she was supposed to die, when Mu Ling was born. I have buried this incident in my heart for 20 years, and I have always kept making up reasons to deceive Mu Ling, and I am also deceiving myself. I love her, but I can't accept the fact that she's dead. ”
"After so many years, I didn't expect you to be like this." Liu Cheng'er opened her mouth, "You are Xiao Lin's apprentice, and your personality is becoming more and more like her." ”
"The master is a strong woman, even more powerful and strong than many men. I, as an apprentice, naturally can't be ashamed. "When it comes to Bai Lin, Bai Qi always looks very proud. But this is only for a moment.
Immediately after, Bai Qi sighed deeply helplessly. said: "It's a pity, I can't do it well, I don't want to embarrass her, but I'm still embarrassed, this whole thing has to start with my story that time." ”
I've never seen Bai Qi like this, his face is not so optimistic, but full of sadness. His trademark smile was long gone.
