Chapter 95: The Scourge of Destruction (12)
Regarding the past, Sang Ling only said a few words lightly and then stopped the topic, and then focused on the wound on Su Luo's back.
The injuries were both old and new, with more bruises in lumpy strips, as if they had been hit with fists and sticks.
"Who hurt you?"
Su Luo clenched his fists violently, but he quickly smiled on his face:
"I accidentally fell, it's fine."
It's good, the little guy still has something on his mind, and Sang Ling is now completely concerned about it.
In the next few days, she secretly followed Su Luo a few times, and found that he had a regular schedule and had been living in this courtyard, but from time to time he would leave from the back of the courtyard over the wall. Sometimes he would bring back food such as pastries, and sometimes gadgets and the like. Of course, there are a few times when I am empty-handed, and my body is sluggish.
Sang Ling glanced at a stain on the corner of his clothes, and vaguely guessed something.
On this day, she was still busy coming back from outside, but it was much earlier than usual, and the house was quiet, and she found the corner of the backyard that was trampled on black, and just happened to bump into the back of Su Luo jumping off the wall and leaving.
Sang Ling hurriedly put the little black cat down and put the fish soup aside.
"Little black cat, you eat first, I'll be back soon and wait for me in the house."
Casually patted his skull, and she hurriedly followed.
Behind.
The little black cat only lowered its gaze, looking at a bowl of fish soup with green onions and ginger shreds in front of him, and he didn't know what he was thinking, his eyes seemed to sink into the ice water, reflecting all the light from the outside world.
In the past few days, his mood has not been high, but Sang Ling's heart is all on Su Luo and he hasn't noticed it.
The other compartment.
Sang Ling soon followed Su to her destination.
Walking out of the dilapidated corridor and through the thatched clearing, you will be greeted by a small courtyard that is completely dilapidated and does not match the Xie Mansion. The four courtyard walls are very high, almost three feet, and the creepers are like green nets, enclosing the whole courtyard solidly, and even the sunlight is stingy to put into it.
Sang Ling looked at it, and there was no door on the walls around this small courtyard:
"Xie Mansion still has this courtyard? However, if you live in people, why don't you install the door? β
Su Luo has been leaning against the wall since he came, not knowing what he was thinking. The fingers were a little hard to pluck the leaves on the wall, but they had already been deeply embedded in the roots of the wall, and they were not moved at all, and they were still firmly stuck in the middle.
The silence in the air didn't last long, and Sang Ling chose to appear directly.
"Su Luo."
The other party was taken aback, and then quickly laughed, as if nothing happened, and only said:
"Sister, why are you here? It's all busy out there and things are going well? I came back a lot earlier than before. β
Sang Ling got straight to the point:
"How did you get here?"
He didn't answer immediately, his eyebrows lowered like a homeless little pitiful.
"I'm just walking around."
Sang Ling noticed his emotional loss and was a little worried:
"Su Luo? Has someone been bullying you? Don't worry, my sister has strong mana and will definitely be able to support you. β
Su Luo shook his head quickly, if his sister's existence was exposed, so many monks in the Xie family would not be vegetarians.
"It's really fine."
Sang Ling is still insisting.
"Su Luo, don't worry, even if I can't beat them, I can make those people suffer a little, but it's easy, your sister is very powerful."
Recently, she has been busy for the demon clan, and the feedback of the Mirror of Retrospection is very good.
Su Luo was silent for a while, as if he was losing his mind, and then quickly raised his head and immediately glanced at the place where Sang Ling was standing. Seeing that she was still there, he quickly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled dryly:
"Sister, I'm just walking around, I'll go back later. Sister, if you can wait, why don't you go back first? β
Sang Ling won't listen to his duplicity:
"I'll accompany you, I'm not at ease to leave you here alone on such a cold day."
Su Luo hooked the corners of his lower lips bitterly, as if he wanted to show a smile that had nothing to do, but something pressed him, and the curvature of the corners of his lips couldn't be hooked for half a minute.
"Sister, am I like a child, I want you to accompany me all the time. Now I want to be alone and quiet. β
said words to drive people, but his eyes were clearly touched by something, the water flickered, and even his voice was trembling, obviously he didn't want her to go.
Sang Ling shook her head and smiled:
"Sure enough, the older you are, the more childish you are, you are only fourteen this year, where is an adult."
Su Luo pursed the corners of his lips, and the emotions in his eyes quickly accumulated, like a dark cloud:
"Kid? In the Xie family, except for those high-ranking Xie family members, aren't the rest of the rest foil dolls? Before I had this high threshold, I was already scolded as a lowly species, living like a dog, I was as strong as an adult, and I never really lived as a child. Sister, only you will treat me like a child. β
But even in front of you, sister, all I think about is how to plan to win more weight with the appearance of a child, and I have never been naΓ―ve.
Regarding Su Luo's past, Sang Ling did not have much surprise in his eyes.
In fact, as early as the first day, she knew about Su Luo's past from the mouths of her subordinates, but Su Luo didn't know about it. He never said that even if he was accidentally seen by her a few times, he was whitewashing the peace.
In order to maintain Su Luo's self-esteem, she never asked, this was the first time he spread out his life of being beaten and insulted by others at will in front of her. But this kind of showdown is tantamount to the torture of digging out the liver and dissecting the lungs.
"Su Luo, don't say it again."
Su Luo closed his eyes slightly, and suddenly became like a bone, and dug a knife into his heart, trying to pry out all the flesh and blood.
"Sister, you know what? My mother is a demon clan, and the head of the Xie family bought her at auction back then. It was originally a great honor, but then my appearance made my mother completely fall out of favor. Such a vulgar appearance was abandoned when I was abandoned, and I became a weed on the ground. Many people say that I have caused my mother, otherwise she is still the favorite concubine of the Xie family and can live a stable life. Everyone is saying that my birth was a sin. Sister, don't you think? β
When the last sentence fell, he suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Sang Ling's position, as if he wanted to find something on her face to be sure, to see if she really agreed with those people's words.
Sang Ling faced his intensely inquiring gaze, and for some reason, he suddenly felt a little sad. The dust of the times is a mountain when it falls on a person. The human race's contemptuous use of the demon clan and its selfish attitude were the nightmare of Su Luo in the first half of his life.
"It's none of your business."
"What?"
He couldn't believe it for a moment.
Sang Ling continued to repeat what she had just said twice:
"It has nothing to do with you, this matter has nothing to do with you, Su Luo."
She said with certainty, and the light in her eyes was certainly the same, as if something that existed forever, and the truth was unquestionable.
Su Luo quickly let go of the heart he had been carrying, but his heart suddenly beat, anxious and fast, like a muffled thunder.
"Sister, don't coax me. I'm fourteen years old now, I'm only two years away from adulthood, I'm not a child, don't coax me. β
Sang Ling stood where she was with her hands in her hands, and said softly:
"I don't coax you, it's not because of you. The root cause of this disaster is nothing more than the relationship between the human race and the demon race. The status of the demon clan is low, and it is used by the human race. Otherwise, your mother would not have entered the auction, and your bloodline life would not have been so embarrassing. So, it's not your fault, you don't have to blame yourself. β
Su Luo was suddenly stunned, and every word in these words revealed all the specious things, making him suddenly understand that his fault was not his birth, but the status of the demon clan. The predicament of the demon clan has entered his heart.
Something suddenly flashed in his eyes, and before he could see clearly, his eyelids had been covered:
"Is it the status of the demon clan? If the demon clan is also like the human race, or stands on top of the human race, will everything not happen, I don't have to be despised for the filth of this bloodline, and I won't live in a dark corner like a dog, I can be like Xie Hanzhou, I can live as a son of a family and live with honor? β
His voice was soft, like he was at a loss for everything that needed to be verified, saying things that he didn't even believe.
Under the dim and gloomy sky, Sang Ling could only see Su Luo's vague and sudden face, and his facial features and expressions were all blurred together like ink paintings, and he couldn't see clearly.
Sang Ling only felt that everything in reality was pressed in her heart, and even her voice was muffled.
"Su Luo, it's not your fault. You cultivate hard, you are diligent, your character and talent are not bad, you don't have low self-esteem, and you don't want to be lost. The road ahead is very long, and your future life will achieve freedom and heights that you can't imagine, and everything is expected in the future. β
As if exhorting the other person, as if talking to oneself, to turn all suffering into temporary, and to admonish to have hope. Su Luo smiled bitterly, not moved by these words.
Since he cultivated, he knew that the gap between himself and Xie Hanzhou was not half a star. Xie Hanzhou is the most proud son of the Xie family, with extremely high talent, and he is just a mixed bloodline, whether it is a demon cultivator or an immortal cultivator, the qualifications on both sides are incompatible, and his cultivation can only be up or down.
My sister's words were just to comfort him.
"Sister, I know."
I know my talent, my future, as long as the Xie family is still there, and the status of the demon clan is still the same, everything about him is gloomy and hopeless.
It's good that now there are you.
The air fell into a flustering silence, and Sang Ling changed the subject, wanting to liven up the atmosphere:
"You're coming to visit the people in this courtyard?"
She already had a vague guess in her mind.
"It used to be the busiest place, but now it's a haunted house. Sister, did you say that the people who live here are still alive? β
Su Luo looked up at this courtyard with no doors and only four walls, and a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes.
Sang Ling frowned, and sure enough, Su Luo's mother lived in this courtyard:
"They deliberately imprisoned her in this place?"
Su Luo seemed to have heard a joke:
"Captivity? No, it's abandonment, like losing some broken table, bad stool, lost! β
As he spoke, he had already grasped a creeper, grabbed the fat leaf in the palm of his hand in anger, and slammed it into the sky. When his hand is empty, he pulls it again, and he pulls it outwards along with the vine, trying to tear off everything that is in the way.
But it was a plant that had been growing for more than ten years, almost growing along with the wall, and even though many leaves were pulled off with force, the stem still wouldn't waver.
Falling leaves, Su Luo clung to these unshakable climbing vines, and his eyes were red.
"Sister, you know what? This ghost thing was planted by Mrs. Xie, even if I used the aura, I could only destroy the leaves, and I couldn't move half of the rhizome. Sister, my mother has been locked up here by Mrs. Xie for 14 years, this Xie family, she can't escape, and I can't escape. β
Su Luo's mother was actually in the hands of Mrs. Xie, and Sang Ling was slightly stunned.
A gust of wind came from the flats, and the "whoosh" rolled up the remnants of the leaves that had fallen to the ground, and the overcast lead clouds in the sky were a few points lower, and it was about to snow.
She took a few steps forward to block out the cold wind, and the wall beside her was still as silent as a tomb, without the slightest human voice. People can't help but wonder if the demon inside is alive or dead. But even if you are alive, looking at the sky in all directions every day, such a life is not as good as a long sleep.
Su Luo was already half-kneeling on the ground, lost his soul.
