Chapter 227: Once Young
The person who came in from outside the cave was undoubtedly Qingling.
Qing Ling stood there, standing in the gloom of the cave, looking a little stunned.
His gaze looked at Xiang Ling with some greed, looking at her with a look of surprise.
"Actually, the last time I was in Wulongtan, after you removed the birthmark on your face, I felt that you were very familiar." Qing Ling walked out of the darkness as he spoke.
Xiang Ling was a little surprised when he saw Qing Ling for the first time, because he saw Qing Ling's face, that miserable white, bloodless face.
It's only been half a day since they were separated, why does Qingling look so haggard.
Qing Ling's expression was abnormal, and Zhou Su also saw it in his eyes, and his gaze, following Qing Ling, seemed to be exploring what was hidden behind his gaze.
Qing Ling walked all the way to Xiang Ling, because of the difference in height, Qing Ling lowered his head slightly, "At that time, I couldn't remember it all the time, and even when I returned to Dihuang Pavilion, I didn't think about it, I knew that just now, I was in the bazaar and saw a father and daughter." Qing Ling paused, and turned his gaze to Mother Wang.
"The girl, who was only eight years old, was holding her father's hand and wandering around the market. The little girl's nature is unbearable, and when she saw so many dazzling goods in the market, the little girl shook off her father's hand and prepared to play with her hooves. His father saw that there were many people in the market, and he was afraid that the little girl would get lost, so he was busy shouting at her not to run around, otherwise she would not be found, but the little girl ignored it, and just said a word loudly----"
No one spoke, but it seemed that everyone already knew what Qing Ling was going to say.
Qing Ling sighed again, and turned her gaze back to Xiang Ling, "The little girl said that she looks like her father, so she will definitely be able to find her father." ”
Looks like Dad?
Xiang Ling chewed on the meaning of this sentence, and the already apprehensive heart in his heart became even more uneasy.
"Many people say that sons are like mothers, daughters are like fathers, and now it seems that it makes sense. And I, perhaps because I am not like my father, so for so many years, my father has treated me, that is, father and son in etiquette. Qing Ling raised his head slightly, and there seemed to be a different kind of light flashing in his eyes.
"He, how could he be my father." After listening to Yi's words, Xiang Ling refused to admit it in his heart, and now, when he heard Qing Ling's reaffirmation, he was still very resistant in his heart.
How is it possible, isn't he Chenyi? Isn't it someone you like? Why did he suddenly become his own father, or such a father who disregarded family affection and destroyed humanity?
No, it must be a mistake, something must be wrong.
"Ling'er, I know this is hard to accept, but --- he is really your father." Mother Wang had been sitting silently on the side, and suddenly spoke at this moment.
"Mother Wang." Qing Ling brushed his eyes with his sleeve and fixed his mind, "I want to know, how did you know my father?" ”
Everyone's eyes were focused on Mother Wang's body at this moment, Mother Wang raised her head and saw the people in the cave, including Xiang Ling, who also looked at herself with inquiring eyes at this moment, hesitated for a while, and lowered her forehead again.
"That --- years ago------
Wang's mother's name is Wang Yan, a girl from a large family, in her girlhood, she was as her name suggested, with a gorgeous face, and was pursued by countless young sons.
It's just that Wang Yan at that time, because of her good family background and her own good looks, was also very picky about choosing a mate.
Of course, for a girl who is not deeply involved in the world, the pursuit of free love in that era can be imagined.
Although Wang Yan is different from those ignorant girls, she can still strictly guard the last pass between men and women, but those sons and brothers, seeing that Wang Yan did not take the bait, also lost interest, so what was left for Wang Yan was all chaotic and abandoned.
Over time, Wang Yan also lost confidence in love, and she returned to her boudoir in frustration.
However, things are always unpredictable, just when Wang Yan was going to accept the matchmaker's marriage, and her parents pointed to marriage, fate came unexpectedly.
On that Lantern Festival, she took a few maids and family members to the temple to offer incense, but on the way, she met a few bandits.
Although the Aris Emperor is a cultivator, all kinds of roles are still available, and these bandits, although their cultivation ability is not high, they are just one level higher than Wang Yan.
Wang Yan's maids all died in a blink of an eye, leaving Wang Yan alone.
Seeing the group of thieves looking at her with squinting eyes, Wang Yan was terrified in her heart, and in despair, she secretly decided in her heart that even if she committed suicide, she would not ruin her innocence.
Taking the time to snatch a large knife from the bandit's hand, Wang Yan put it across her neck, bit her lip and closed her eyes.
It's just that when the knife hasn't cut through the neck, Wang Yan feels that her body is light, and the whole person rises into the air.
When she opened her eyes, Wang Yan felt that she was being held in the arms of a man, and the thieves on the opposite side were already lying on the ground at some point, and there was no movement.
"How can such a beautiful woman not care for her life so much?" The man whispered in Wang Yan's ear, and Wang Yan's ears itched when he heard it.
Perhaps, you are going to start complaining again, such an old-fashioned plot, why don't you get tired of it.
Hey, there's no way, I'm not a god, I'm just an unknown fiction author who hits the streets.
The old-fashioned plot, and the follow-up plot brought by it, are naturally old-fashioned.
When her life and death were at stake, she was rescued by a man, and Wang Yan's already cold heart of pursuing free love was revived again.
The man sent Wang Yan back to the mansion, and then waved his sleeves and left.
Since then, the man has never appeared again, Wang Yan still stays at home, the only difference is that Wang Yan rejected all blind dates and threatened not to marry the man.
Parents are very angry with Wang Yan's obsession, originally Wang Yan's ingenious pursuit of free love gave her parents a headache, but Wang Yan was born when Wang Yan was nearly forty years old, so he was very fond of her, and when he saw her bent on going his own way, he could only let her go.
It was only later, seeing that she had finally changed her ways and resumed everyone's beautiful behavior after suffering several failures, Wang Yan's parents were quite happy and immediately arranged all kinds of blind dates for her.
But after all, Wang Yan has pursued free love, so there are a lot of gossips about her, and ordinary big families are also shy away from her, and those matchmakers introduce them to just ordinary men.
However, Wang Yan's parents don't care about this, they don't have a strong desire for the family, after all, Wang Yan has the support of her parents, even if the man's family background is average, Wang Yan's parents can also provide more support, and it is okay to live a small life.
In this way, retreating again and again, Wang Yan didn't seem to appreciate it, and her parents finally began to be angry.
Seeing that their baby daughter didn't want to eat for a man who had only met once, didn't know the other party's net worth background, and didn't even know his name, Wang Yan's parents finally picked their son.
Anyway, since she doesn't want to marry, don't marry, she can't afford to raise her at home for a lifetime.
Wang Yan is not in a hurry, and her parents are not in a hurry, everyone in the boudoir has been forgotten.
However, what should come will come eventually.
Wang Yan thought that she would never meet that man again in her life, so she spent her life with her parents.
Wang Yan's parents also thought that they would accompany an old girl for the rest of their lives.
However, the world is unpredictable.
One night that year, bandits stormed Wang Yan's house, killed and looted, and then set fire to the palace.
The whole palace, including Wang Yan's parents, were all buried in the fire, only Wang Yan, the bandit leader saw her a little beautiful, so he took her back to the cottage.
At night, the cottage was decorated with lights, and the owner of the village planned to marry Wang Yan that night, so someone simply bought the wedding.
At the wedding, Wang Yan was silent, she did whatever the bandits asked her to do, and completed the normal wedding procedures very obediently.
The bandit leader was very happy, thinking that Wang Yan wanted to open it after all, and he wanted to have sex with Wang Yan when he was drunk at the banquet and touched the new house.
It's just that the happy event quickly turned into a white thing, and while the bandit leader was drunk, Wang Yan took out the dagger that had been hiding in his arms and stabbed the bandit leader.
Before the bandit leader could see Wang Yan in a wedding dress clearly, his eyes were closed, and he was dying.
Wang Yan saw that the bandit leader was stabbed to death by herself, so she didn't panic, straightened her clothes, and escaped from the cottage at night.
Of course, the bandits soon found the bandit leader who died in the house, and in anger, they all set out to find Wang Yan.
Wang Yan walked alone in the dark forest for a long time, and when she realized that countless lights suddenly lit up behind her, she knew that her life had come to an end.
When the bandits were robbing their home, they saw their parents fall in the fire, Wang Yan asked herself not to cry, even if she went to the thieves' den, Wang Yan let herself try not to be quiet, giving the bandits a desperate look, making them give up their vigilance against themselves, and finally stabbed the bandit leader to death.
But now, seeing the lights all over the mountain, Wang Yan's tears flowed out uncontrollably.
She was not afraid of death, since she chose to follow the bandits up the mountain, she had the heart of death to assassinate the bandit leader.
It's just that in the face of death, thinking of her innocent parents, Wang Yan is a weak woman, and naturally she can't help herself.
Under the bitter crying, Wang Yan stopped running away, quietly waiting for those bandits to come to him.
It's just that those lights don't seem to have come, and after Wang Yan heard a burst of desperate shouts in her ears, those lights seemed to disappear one by one.
In the dark night, a person's face came into her eyes.
