Volume 2, Xuanhai Immortal Mountain_Chapter 148, the final candidate
Tears were so bright in the darkness, like glowing crystals, like dazzling gems. All the words I wanted to say were blocked in her mouth, and she wanted to smile reluctantly, but the more the corners of her mouth went up, the more tears fell in her eyes. I couldn't help but feel sour in my heart, and hurriedly said, "Don't cry, why are you crying?" If you have something to say, we are all friends, how can I not help you......"
"I have liked to compare myself with my brother since I was a child, because they all said that I was not as good as my brother, and the elders in the family said that my brother was a general, and he would definitely be a big man in the future and would become the head of the Ling family. And I will marry the man that the family has prepared for me, and marry someone else for the sake of the lintel. But, I don't want to be a tool at the mercy of others, I also want to prove that I can do a lot for the family, I don't want to marry someone I don't love, I don't want to fall victim to political marriages! As if muttering to myself, I didn't know if I should interrupt her at this point.
"I remember when I was 10 years old, the ancestor of the family was ready to order a baby for me, which was the son of another big family in the south. It's a little boy with a runny nose and still digging his nose to eat. I'm scared, am I going to marry someone like this in the future? I tried to resist, but everyone in the family looked at me like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. But that day, when the other party came to propose, my brother stood up, and he pulled me all the way to the ancestor, in the inner hall, so many people were there. He exclaimed, 'My sister doesn't want to marry this man, and I won't allow my sister to marry him!' My brother was only a teenager at that time, and even the ancestor had not yet made him the successor of the next head of the family. But I'll never forget that day, my brother was so handsome......"
I pulled up a chair and sat next to me, looking at Lingqian on the bed, and the fragile female leopard also had a moment when she was lonely and licked her wounds.
"I always saw my brother as a competitor, and he kept laughing and saying that I would never catch up with him. For so many years, I have been living under the care of my brother, and if it weren't for him, I might be a resentful woman in the courtyard of a big family. I know that there are many people in the family who disobey my brother, and I also know that the fight between him and you is fierce. You are enemies between you, but Ba Xiaoshan, if we are still friends, please help my brother for the sake of our affection. Save my brother, even if you can't save him as the head of the family, please save his life. I don't want to...... I don't want the big brother who took care of me for so many years to die like this! Lingqian said that when she was emotional, tears welled up in her eyes.
"That's not the case, I don't have the ability to do this......" I waved my hand in a little panic, but at this time, Lingqian actually stood up against the wall, and she was so weak that she could barely stand, leaning against the cold wall, and a ray of moonlight shining down above her head.
He smiled reluctantly, as if he had exhausted all his strength, and then said: "I'm still a virgin, I've never talked about a boyfriend, if you're willing to save my brother, I'm willing to give you my first night......"
How desperate must a girl be to say such a thing, and how sad must she be to be willing to exchange her most precious thing for help from the outside world.
I suddenly got up from my chair and kicked the chair behind me to the ground.
Facing this Lingqian, who was full of tears and could no longer see any shadow of the past except for that face, he gritted his teeth and said, "Do you think I am such a person?" ”
Lingqian leaned against the wall and looked at me stunned.
I held back countless words in my heart, and wanted to scold the girl in front of me, but I couldn't say the words when the words came to my mouth, and I could deeply understand her helplessness and isolation, perhaps from the time her maid came to me, she had already shown that she was desperate.
"There is a way to save your brother and save you." I spoke.
"What?" Lingqian asked urgently.
"Let you become the head of the Ling family, when you become the head of the Ling family, your brother will naturally be fine, and you can keep yourself for the time being. At least until the new Ancestor pulls you off the horse, you and your brother can be saved. The Ling family will hold a big competition tomorrow, and the candidate's subordinates and friends will take the action on their behalf, and whoever can win in the end will be the new head of the family. Lingqian, you can also participate as a candidate, and we are your helpers. This method, which had almost been abandoned by me, was still said by me, and Lingqian looked at me with some emotion, as if she saw hope.
"You think about it, if you want, we will go to the Lingjia tomorrow." I just wanted to leave after I finished speaking, but Lingqian behind me had already said loudly: "I am willing, I am willing to be the head of the Ling family!" ”
"Then rest well, it's going to be a tough battle from tomorrow." I left this sentence, opened the door and walked out. The fat man and Luo Qiong were waiting for me at the door, and when they saw me come out, the fat man smiled, hooked Luo Qiong's shoulder and said, "Let's go, let's go back and have a drink, and then sleep well, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave tomorrow." ”
I walked to the end of the hallway, leaned against the window and smoked, and when Lingqian said those words with tears on her face, when she was forced to decide to trade chastity for my help, my heart beat so fast that I even had an impulse, an evil impulse, for a moment! I wanted to agree to her terms, but I quickly suppressed this urge. It's just that the throbbing heart and the fierce flow of blood continue to pass through the body, and even at this moment, I have an irrepressible excitement.
After two cigarettes, this feeling gradually faded. Looking at the night outside the window, he smiled self-deprecatingly and whispered to himself: "Damn, I almost set up a tent!" ”
The next day, the day when the Ling family held a big competition, there were not as many people as expected. Although there are a lot of people who come to the Ling family this time, there are not many people who really have the strength to compete for the position of the head of the Ling family, and many of them are people who come to see the excitement and fish in troubled waters, such as Lingyun is one of them.
But when the decision of the big competition is communicated, these people should weigh their own abilities.
The lobby was full of people, it should be said that the outside of the house was surrounded by three circles inside and three circles outside, and all the things that could sit in the lobby were the tasks of the Ling family, and the twelve chairs on the left and right were filled, and the spirit group and Shuya were in the right position to get started.
"Today is the day of the start of the big competition, all of you here are sure to participate in the big competition of the Ling family's children, the rules of the competition and the ability to be simple, regardless of life and death, the last winner will be crowned the head of the family. The venue of the competition is in the Yuyang Grand Ring. The spirit group simply said that it drew a shout from a crowd.
"Also, is there anyone else willing to participate in this big competition?" Lingqun asked deliberately, his eyes looking around, as if searching for something, as if some people who should have been here did not appear.
"If there is no one, then everyone here will be the object of the competition today, and prepare for the competition!" As soon as the spirit group said this, he heard a commotion outside, and the commotion was loud and closer. The linglin calmly asked, "What's going on outside?" ”
"I think there's one more candidate here today." Voices could be heard from outside the crowd.
"Who's the fuck going to make trouble? Don't you know that this is the lobby of our spiritual family? There were already people in the lobby who couldn't suppress their anger and shouted, but they saw a doorman running in in a panic and said, "Tell the ancestor, outside, someone has come in outside." It's Ba Xiaoshan, and there are 507 people, by the way! And Miss Lingqian! ”
The last sentence shook everyone present at once, and many people showed surprised expressions.
After a while, I saw the fat man and the black bull pushing away the crowd and walking inside, a group of us followed behind, and it was Lingqian who walked in the middle. At this moment, Ling Qian's face was indifferent, although her face was still a little haggard, but the momentum of the second lady of the Ling family was still there.
"You're also a candidacy? Why? Someone asked aloud.
"Yes, why is she competing for the position of head of the family? In the past hundred years, our Ling family has never had a female family master, the rules can't be broken, she is not qualified! The shouting grew louder and louder, and there was a commotion.
"Because she is the second lady of the Ling family, because she is the sister of Lingyan, because she is my friend!" The sound shook like thunder, and I walked out of Lingqian's side, with fire in my hands, and my face was as grim as the cold wind of a cold night.
