Xiao Yanran finally learned to say the word brother.
Since then.
This word have become the word that she say the most.
"Brother ... brother, hungry hungry."
"Brother, sleep sleep."
"Brother, eat dinner."
...
Sometimes, when Xiao Yanran has nightmares, could not help but call her brother.
This time.
Lin Yan will immediately roll over and get up, sitting beside Xiao Yanran, gently patting her, humming the nursery rhyme he heard from somewhere in his mouth.
Such a night.
It's unknown how many of them they experienced.
Each time Lin Yan is impatient, in the dark and cold late at night, he silently get up, humming songs, lightly patting Xiao Yanran to sleep.
And the price is.
Lin Yan's body, looked thinner and thinner, the spirit has also become very poor.
...
Outside the Linglong Treasure Mirror.
Xiao Yanran's face, finally began to have a change.
The previous images, because she was too young, she didn't remember much at all.
But the current images.
She kept a lot of them, but they were buried deep in her heart.
Now look at the images shown on the Linglong Treasure Mirror.
Those memories, like a flood gushed out.
That time.
Although she had no cultivation, but it felt like the warmest days she had ever lived.
Whether it was day or night.
As long as she opened her eyes.
Her brother would appear in front of her.
"But why, later you became like that? Is a single Supreme Bone can really make your heart change." Xiao Yanran's heart was like a needle prick.
...
Time flew by.
Lin Yan brought Xiao Yanran, and several years soon passed.
As Xiao Yanran grew up a little.
The two's life are obviously much easier, no longer like before, struggling in the edge of life and death every day.
But even so.
The two people often eat one meal without the next.
Whenever there was not enough food, Lin Yan would let his sister Xiao Yanran eat first.
When Xiao Yanran has eaten enough, he will eat next.
Several times.
After Xiao Yanran finished eating, there was nothing left to eat.
Lin Yan will drink a big mouth of cold water.
Long-term nutritional deficiencies.
Cause Lin Yan's body to be very thin.
When he first took Xiao Yanran fleeing for his life, his height is slightly taller than his peers, fleshy, looking very cute.
But at this moment.
He has become visibly thin to the naked eye.
His peers are at least half a head taller.
Even Xiao Yanran, actually gradually exceeded him in size.
"At that time, he was really good to sister Yanran." Outside the Linglong Treasure Mirror, even Xiao Mei, who hated the Heavenly Emperor to the bone, couldn't help but sigh at this moment.
But that's all.
There were times when the Heavenly Emperor was so warm to Xiao Yanran.
But to her.
There's only bone-deep hatred.
...
Finally.
The time came to this day.
Lin Yan took Xiao Yanran, into the nearby mountains to pick herbs.
In the past, Lin Yan refused to take Xiao Yanran into the mountains.
Because the mountain environment is complex, he was afraid of hurting Xiao Yanran.
But today.
Xiao Yanran is crying and insisting to go together, Lin Yan had no choice but to take his sister.
And picking herbs.
This is the ability that Lin Yan just learned in the past two years.
Herbs picked from the mountains, can be sent to the pharmacy for money.
This is more money than his hard work hunting could earn.
Although Lin Yan's body is thin, but his brain is very flexible.
The place in the mountain that has herbs, are firmly in his mind.
In just less than half a day.
Lin Yan has already picked a large bag of herbs.
Although he know there are more precious herbs in other places, but those places are in the depths of the forest.
Lin Yan was afraid that Xiao Yanran would be afraid to go in, so he didn't take her there.
Take the picked herbs.
Lin Yan pulled Xiao Yanran home.
From the beginning to the end.
Lin Yan was very busy and sweaty, but Xiao Yanran was happily playing on the side.
Lin Yan is not annoyed, but every time he looks at his sister who is playing on the side.
The corners of his mouth will show a smile.
This is also the only time he will smile.
...
"The Heavenly Emperor at this time, really said nothing to sister Yanran." Outside the Linglong Treasure Mirror, many people secretly said in their hearts.
At the same time they couldn't help but quietly look at Xiao Yanran.
But at this moment, Xiao Yanran's face was somewhat pale, as if she had seen something frightening, and her mouth even lost her voice: "It's here, it's here."
Inside the Linglong Treasure Mirror.
The two people who finished picking herbs had already started walking on the way home.
But they didn't go far.
Xiao Yanran suddenly reached out and pointed to the cliff next to them and said, "Brother, what is that?"
Lin Yan followed Xiao Yanran's direction and looked.
He suddenly saw it.
On top of this cliff, there was a palm-sized Lingzhi growing.
Lin Yan had been to the herb store many times and had a certain understanding of herbs.
Naturally, he recognized this strain of Lingzhi at a glance.
This made him look very happy.
If they could pick this Lingzhi, then their future life would be better.
The money sold from such a Lingzhi would be enough for the two siblings to live for several years.
Lin Yan originally wanted to send Xiao Yanran home.
Then come back to pick the Lingzhi.
But he was afraid of being robbed.
So he could only instruct Xiao Yanran, "Sister, stay here, don't run around, I'll go pick it off, it'll be fine soon."
Xiao Yanran nodded her head in a good manner.
At that moment.
Lin Yan put down the basket on his back and started to climb that cliff.
