Chapter 2: The Years of the Monk

"Hey-hey-hey-" Nini wiped the sweat from her forehead and moved a stone around the house, and when the little doll was so tired that she fell to the ground holding the stone, she raised her little face and looked at Murong Yunxiu, who was fanning her fan on the side, and asked, "Senior sister, is cultivation about moving stones every day and taking a medicinal bath?"

It's been a year old, eight-year-old Nini has grown a little taller last year, and this year's time, she has spent in this small cabin, every day in addition to moving stones is to take a medicinal bath, the stone slowly gets bigger, and the bath water is getting darker and darker, and in Nini's impression, the senior sister seems to lie by the window every day and fan the fan, watching herself move the stone, she doesn't know what the senior sister sees when she looks at herself every day, but every time she is tired, she runs over and nests in the arms of the senior sister and rubs the wind out of her fan, that is when she is most comfortable and comfortable。

Nini got into Murong Yunxiu's arms again to rub the cool breeze, and Murong Yunxiu poked her face lightly and said, "It's only been a year, do you know how long this road is?"

Nini's little hand took out a sweet potato from Murong Yunxiu's cuff and gnawed happily.

Murong Yunxiu's sleeve is like a treasure chest to Nini, no matter what she wants, she can feel it out of it, she once asked, senior sister said that these things are all made of bracelets, but Nini has never seen the so-called bracelet on Murong Yunxiu's wrist.

"I know that my mother said, my mother said, my mother said, mortals are one year old, it will take three hundred and sixty-five days, but monks are one year old, it will be three hundred and sixty-five years. ”

Murong Yunxiu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then he said: "The age of the monk is indeed very long, but it is not as exaggerated as your mother said, it may really take three hundred and sixty-five years to grow up, but more monks, they grow up, but it is just overnight." ”

"How old is Senior Sister this year?" Nini looked up curiously.

Murong Yunxiu lowered her head and winked at Nini: "Three hundred and sixty-five years old?"

"Senior sister is deceiving!" Nini wrinkled her nose at Murong Yunxiu, and then her small body ran out like a milk ball, and jumped into the bath tub soaked in spirit grass with a "poof".

Later, Murong Yunxiu began to teach Nini to read and write, so Nini had one more task every day, day after day, year after year, Murong Yunxiu did not let Nini remember the day, in this small world, Nini didn't know how long it was, she only remembered that it was very long, she had grown a lot taller, and in these days, Murong Yunxiu measured Nini's height eight times.

There was a carved line in the cabin, and the senior sister said that when she grew to the height of this carved line, she could take her to see the fairy mountain.

*

"Nini, it's time to measure your height!"

Murong Yunxiu called, and Nini threw down the stone in her hand and ran in her direction.

Murong Yunxiu bent her eyes and smiled, looking at Nini who was trotting towards her, and her heart couldn't help but move slightly.

Eight years have passed.

The once little milk baby has grown, the skin is crystal white and tender, the eyes are smart and shining, the hair hangs down like ink satin, and the body is wearing the skirt that she changed for Nini with her own clothes, and the fiery red color makes her skin white and beautiful, the senior sister is very satisfied with Nini's appearance, the little milk baby is now fifteen years old, and if she waits for another three or five years, she is a little beauty who has caused disaster to the country and the people.

"Senior sister!" Nini ran in front of Murong Yunxiu and looked at her with bright eyes.

Murong Yunxiu wiped Nini's sweat with a smile, then pointed to the direction of the engraved line, and said, "Go over and measure, let Senior Sister see how much taller you have grown." ”

Nini obediently walked to the place where the line was engraved, and Murong Yunxiu gestured to herself, and then raised her eyes and asked expectantly, "How is it, senior sister?"

"It's slower, it's a little closer. Murong Yunxiu said, looking at Nini's slowly drooping little face, the corners of her lips raised slightly, and then said: "But the time has come, and everything that needs to be done has been done, let's leave this void." ”

As the words fell, Nini raised her little face full of anticipation again.

Murong Yunxiu bent down slightly, sorted out the clothes on Nini's body, and gently pinched her baby fat face, and said: "What Senior Sister said to you next, you must remember, not only for a lifetime, but after you go out, you can't tell anyone, and you can't tell anyone who is closest to you." ”

"My closest person is my senior sister!"

"Even if it's a senior sister, you can't tell it. Murong Yunxiu's eyes moved slightly.

For some reason, Nini saw a hint of sternness on Murong Yunxiu's face, Senior Sister had never been so strict with herself, and she spoke with extra caution, as if there was some unspeakable and shocking secret.

Murong Yunxiu looked at her seriously, and it wasn't until Nini nodded seriously that she continued.

"After you go out, you will follow your senior sister's surname Murong, called Murong Ni, the days you spend in the mortal realm, the days you spend in the empty realm, you must not tell others, remember, you have been a person in the cultivation realm since you were born, and when others ask you where you are from, you say, since you were a child, your parents died, wandering around, if you are ......" Murong Yunxiu suddenly paused, and the emotions in his eyes were slightly complicated.

"Senior sister?" Nini shook Murong Yunxiu's hand.

Only then did she come back to her senses, then bent the corners of her mouth and gently rubbed Nini's head: "If someone asks you what the relationship is with Murong Yunxiu, you will say that you are not familiar with the people you met on the road." ”

When the words fell, Nini's brows furrowed: "Don't, senior sister is senior sister, why should I say that I am not familiar with senior sister!"

"You kid, just be obedient!" Murong Yunxiu saw this, and his eyebrows twisted.

"But Senior Sister, Senior Sister is not only Nini's life-saving benefactor, but also taught Nini so many things, how can Nini be said to be unfamiliar with Senior Sister!

Murong Yunxiu's face turned gloomy, and she glared at her angrily: "If you are disobedient, I won't take you out!"

"Senior sister!" Nini had never seen Murong Yunxiu murder herself like this.

"Shut up!"

Nini was stunned, she looked at Murong Yunxiu's eyes, and tears fell from her eyes as soon as her nose was sore: "Senior sister doesn't want me anymore?"

Murong Yunxiu was also stunned, I don't know how long it took, she suddenly hugged Nini into her arms, and said softly: "Nini still remember, your mother once said that the monk is one year old, and it will take three hundred and sixty-five years?"

Nini choked up and nodded.
