"Uncle, I want five soup dumplings!"

"Okay, here you go again, girl!" Seeing two women, one big and one young, coming together, Uncle Zhang responded with a smile, and a hint of relief flashed in his eyes.

Maybe it's the reason why I saw Xiao Nan finally show her long-lost smile again.

A kind of cute Uncle Fear.

Uncle Zhang's movements were very neat, almost copying and putting them away by hand, and the five buns were wrapped in oiled paper by him, put them in bags, and handed them to Kong Jiran and Nannan, who had been hungry for a long time.

"Uncle, give you money!"

There is a good saying, when you have money, your waist will be straight.

Kong Jiran is very inflated now, and she feels that she no longer has to sell her "charm" because she has no money.

"Come, my sister will give you food first."

When I got the steaming buns, I inexplicably had an urge to cry, it wasn't easy, the sky opened my eyes, and the unreliable sister finally got a decent one.

"Sister, come and see, this mask is so interesting!" In front of a stall that had just been set up, the girl with pigtails pointed to a strange mask, and her face showed joy.

"Leaving Xihuang Cotton Giant?" Kong Jiran bit the bun and asked vaguely.

I didn't expect the little girl's hobby to be so unique, in her impression, girls of this age like cute little animals, masks......

It's the first one.

"Actually, I don't like masks." Nannan's answer made Sora Jiran scratch his head.

I don't like it, why do I have to pull her excitedly to watch.

"Sister, you don't know, my brother's father and mother died very early, and he is the only one in the family who lives with me, the sister I picked up."

Swallowing a mouthful of buns, Kong Jiran didn't speak, quietly listening to Nan Nan's talk, even though she had already learned from Jiuxiao's memory.

Nan Nan has fallen into memory, "My brother is very hard, because there are no idlers in the village, so he has to risk his life to follow the hunting team into the mountains to hunt fierce beasts, in order to get enough food and clothing for the two of us, but Nan Nan is very useless, can only drag his hind legs, and even sometimes disobedient, make my brother angry, Nan Nan is a waste ......"

Hearing this, Kong Jiran frowned and looked good, rubbed her little head and said: "How come, I think in your brother's heart, you are his spiritual pillar, with you, he can have the hope of life at the time of death, and survive again and again, I believe that with your relationship with him, even if he dies, he will do his best to crawl out of the underworld and return to your side to continue to protect you." ”

"Really......" Nan Nan remembered the nine clouds in yesterday's dream.

"Definitely." Kong Jiran also remembered Jiuxiao's identity,

"The soul of love", unswerving love until death, Jiuxiao and Nannan, their feelings are unquestionable.

"Go on, my sister still wants to hear the story between you and your brother."

"Hmm." Nan Nan nodded, and then said: "Even if my brother worked hard, he was only ten years old at the time, and it was difficult to hunt those powerful beasts with the hunting team. ”

"But my brother and Nannan don't care, although the two of us live in poverty, they are very beautiful and happy. That's our greatest joy is to catch the market, whenever we want to catch the market, my brother will come out of the village early in the morning with the nannan, and rush to Yucheng. There seemed to be tears in her eyes.

The bazaar is bustling, and things are not people.

"Once, my brother used the money he had saved for a long time to buy a grimace mask to make him happy." Speaking of this, Nan Nan couldn't help but snort softly, "My brother is a big fool, how can any girl like a grimace mask." ”

Grimace Mask ...... Kong Jiran remembered that when he first saw Jiuxiao, he was wearing an illusory mask on his face, but she took it off and threw it on the face of another simple revenant.

"What happened later......"

"Nan Nan put the mask on my brother's face, asked my brother to buy a very cheap bronze piece, and asked him to make me a bronze ring, this is it!"

Nan Nan carefully groped a small bronze ring out of her body and handed it to Kong Jiran as if offering a treasure.

The ring is blue-black, pitted and rough, and at first glance it is made by someone who has failed both strength and aesthetics.

If Sora Jiran didn't know the deep meaning, she would definitely throw it away without hesitation.

"It has all the love of my brother for Nannan." Kong Jiran returned the ring to Nan Nan and sighed.

……

Following the side of Kong Jiran, Nan Nan walked leisurely on the street that had gradually been shrouded in sunlight, because the two of them bought a lot of delicious food just now, so Nan Nan looked very happy at this time.

"Sister."

"Huh?"

"In the past, I came to the market with my brother."

"I know."

"But in the future, there will only be a sister in Nannan...... So, my sister will always be with me, right? Nan Nan looked up at the stunning face, a pair of big eyes were shining, full of expectation.

“……”

Sora Jiran didn't give an answer immediately, and a strange irritability suddenly surged in his heart.

She would rather fight the "sky" than look directly into these eyes that are so pure that they have no impurities.

"Nannan...... You must know that no one will always accompany anyone, people are born, old, sick and die, monks also have heaven and man, and the things of the world are too unpredictable for my sister to guarantee you. ”

Her promises are precious, so she never makes promises to anyone.

"Sister, I want to know if there is anyone who can live forever and exist forever."

Kong Jiran pondered for a long time, and finally nodded in affirmation: "Yes, but then it is out of the scope of people, they have a new name." ”

Nan Nan bit her finger and asked curiously: "What's it called?" ”

"God!"

"God? I haven't heard of it, I only know that the grandfathers in the village once said that the top existence among the monks is called an immortal. Nan Nan shook her head, her understanding of "gods" and "immortals" was very shallow.

Sora Jiran didn't expect a child to be able to comprehend these things that were beyond her knowledge, as if she had thought of something, she suddenly crouched down and tried to make herself as level as she could be.

"Speaking of names, don't you have a name yet?"

"Nan Nan is Nan Nan, my brother and the villager uncle all call me Nan Nan." Nan Nan Cute frowned and wondered.

"That's just a nickname, when you grow up, the nickname can no longer be used, the name is a symbol of a person's real status when he grows up."

"Yes...... You have to grow up quickly, and you have to have an identity! The little girl said firmly.

"Why do you want to grow up quickly?" Sora Himeran said curiously.

"Because Nan Nan has grown up, she has the ability to protect her sister, when we rushed to the market just now, there were many people who kept looking at her sister, and their eyes made Nan Nan disgusted!"

"It doesn't matter, my sister has long been used to it." Kong Jiran smiled helplessly, what can she do, her natural charm can't be stopped.

"Also, when Nannan grows up, her brother will return, and Nannan will be with her brother and sister forever." Nan Nan's tone was full of longing, Jiuxiao and Kong Jiran were her life's long-cherished wishes.

"That brother is not here, is it okay for my sister to give you a name."

"Don't accept bad words." Nan Nan waved her hand in disgust.

In fact, no matter what name Kong Jiran gives her, Nan Nan will gladly agree, who will let Kong Jiran be the closest person to her now.

"Nine is the extreme, the top of the immortal people, in the future, it will be called nine immortals."

Kong Jiran did not choose the nine gods, because the "gods" are the supreme existence only in the "main realm", and the top powerhouse of this continent is called "immortals".

Moreover, she doesn't want Xiao Nannan to become a "god"-like existence, to become a "god" above all living beings, it is too difficult and too difficult, as strong as the Qinglian Sword Emperor and the Machine Emperor will eventually fall short, an innocent child should not bear such too heavy expectations.

"Nine Immortals ......" repeated stupidly, and a little crystal tears fell.

Her brother's name is Jiuxiao, but she didn't tell her sister, and now her sister has named her Jiuxian, is this an indescribable fate.

She didn't know, she thought it was anyway.

"Sister...... Nan Nan wiped away her tears and called softly.

"Hmm."

"But I don't want to become an immortal, I just want to wait for my brother to return with my sister in this red dust."

"Your brother ......" Sora Jiran sighed slightly in his heart.

I'm sorry, but your brother may never come back.

Not in the past, not now, not in the future, never in eternity, never.

The initiator is the sister in front of you.

At this moment, Kong Jiran had a trace of doubt about her behavior, helping Jiuxiao to reincarnate was just a gesture for her, is the "crystallization of love" really so important?

But her suspicion was only for a moment, and the heart of the "god" was extremely firm, and it was not so easy to move and change.

"The Crystallization of Love" is the treasure she must get, no matter how great or humble, everyone in the world has a reason why he has to do something, and Kong Jiran is no exception.

Even if the matter is against her heart.

"If you don't like it, forget it." Sora Jiran clapped her hands, intending to stand up again.

However, Nan Nan unexpectedly threw herself into her arms, greedily sniffed the fascinate fragrant flowers, and murmured: "However, since it is the name taken by my sister, Nan Nan will be called Nine Immortals in the future." ”

"Okay, you're really good......"

"Sister, can I take you to a place?" The Nine Immortals reluctantly raised their heads from the warm embrace of Kong Jiran, looked at the bright crimson eyes seriously, and said softly.

"Where?"

"It's a very important place for me."
