The importance of cannon fodder

Chapter 344 Ming Si ([-])
"Who's objective?" As soon as Shen Lian walked into the restaurant, the children gathered around him.

"Two, a private room." Shen Lian put a certain amount of gold on the counter.

"Okay." Xiao'er greeted them warmly and went up to the second floor.

Nine Demons eat a lot, and they eat sparingly on weekdays. When Shen Lian told Nine Demons that the currency in the mortal world is gold, silver and jewelry, Nine Demons decided to eat them. Well, the Nine Demons have never looked into their eyes, and their currency is all spirit stones.

Therefore, mortal money is worthless in the eyes of Nine Demons.

Shen Lian asked Xiao Er to serve up one of the restaurant's signature dishes.

When Jiu Yao walked out of the restaurant, her stomach became swollen.

"Brother, the roast chicken made by this restaurant is really delicious."

"As long as you like it." Shen Lian smiled and squinted his eyes. He didn't eat much, but he felt very satisfied to see Jiu Yao eating.

"Big brother, the mortal world is so lively." Jiu Yao walked on the busy street, looking around like a child who just entered the city.

"Today is Qiqiao Festival, a mortal festival." Shen Lian said after the Nine Demons.

"Qiqiao Festival?" Jiu Yao once heard about this festival in the Fox Clan, and sister Gray Fox once told Jiu Yao about her going to the mortal world.

Sister Huihu once met a man on the Qiqiao Festival, and made a private decision with him for life, but in the end that man still hurt Sister Huihu's heart.

However, when Sister Gray Fox mentioned this festival, there was still light in her eyes.

She said that although the ending is heartbreaking, the beauty once had is also worth remembering for a lifetime.

"En." Shen Lian nodded, looking at Jiu Yao's back, Shen Lian suddenly recalled that time, when Su Jiu went to the ghost world with Su Jiu, Su Jiu was also so delighted and curious.

There are many vendors on the street selling many gadgets.

"Little girl, do you want a bunch of candied haws?" Jiu Yao walked around unknowingly before an uncle who sold candied haws.

"Thank you." Jiu Yao unwrapped the candy wrapper, and it tasted very good.

"Little girl, you haven't paid the money yet." Jiu Yao was about to leave, but was stopped by the uncle.

Jiu Yao didn't bring any money with her, she turned her head to look in Shen Lian's direction, but found that Shen Lian hadn't followed.

"This is for you." No way, Jiu Yao had to find a small spirit stone from the bag and gave it to him.

"What is this?" The uncle who bought Tanghu didn't know Lingshi, but the thing in his hand seemed to be a treasure.

"Uncle, you can wear it on your body, it's good for your body." The aura in the spirit stone is lush, and for mortals, this aura is already very much.

"Is this jade?" The uncle asked puzzled.

"Almost." Jiu Yao nodded.

"Then I can't take advantage of you." The uncle returned the spirit stone to Jiu Yao.

"Uncle, no," Jiu Yao waved the candied haws in his hand, and then jumped away.

Where's the big brother?Jiu Yao was searching among the crowd, she was biting the candied haws in her hand while looking at the crowd.

Suddenly, in front of a mask stand, Jiu Yao saw the figure of his big brother.

The masks sold at the mask stand were very delicate, and Shen Lian was looking at them with a silver mask in his hand.

"Brother, can you also buy Jiu Yao a mask?" Jiu Yao approached.

"En? Okay." Shen Lian picked out a very delicate and small mask from the mask booth, squatted down, and put it on for Jiu Yao.

Shen Lian's fingertips were a little cold, but Jiu Yao's face was red as he ran over. The cold finger tips touched the warm, soft and smooth cheeks, causing Jiu Yao's face to turn even redder.

Shen Lian's eyes were very gentle, he put a mask on Jiu Yao with a smile, and said softly: "It's very beautiful."

"Thank you big brother." Jiu Yao also stood on tiptoe and picked up the mask that Shen Lian was looking at just now, "Big brother, I will put it on for you too."

Jiu Yao's hands are small and soft.

Shen Lian's side profile is very beautiful, thin lips, slender nose, fair face, especially those beautiful eyes, making it hard to look away.

After wearing the silver-white mask, there is a sense of mystery and abstinence.

"Big brother, you look good even with a mask on." Jiu Yao looked a little dumbfounded.

"Little fool." Shen Lian scratched Jiu Yao's nose exposed outside the mask.

The Nine Demons wandered around the mortal market and saw a lot of weird things.

As the sky gradually darkened, Jiu Yao noticed that there were many young girls standing by the river with various lanterns in their hands, and there was also a couple of men and women holding a lantern together.

"Big brother, what are they doing?" Jiu Yao asked curiously.

"They are putting out lanterns and making wishes, hoping that they can find a good husband, or that their lovers will eventually get married." Shen Lian said, looking at the flickering lanterns that had been placed in the river.

"Big brother, I want to let it go too." After listening, Jiu Yaodang even ran to a stall selling lanterns not far away.

"Boss, I want a lantern, the most beautiful one."

"You little girl, what kind of lanterns are you putting on?" The vendor looked at the little Nine Demons, smiled and shook his head, "I'll come back and buy lanterns when you grow up a few years later."

"Why?" Jiu Yao didn't understand.

"You are still young, this lantern is for girls who have grown up." The small vendor was amused by the puzzled Jiu Yao.

Shen Lian shook her head, "Boss, give me the most beautiful lantern."

"Okay, this young master, do you want to hang out with your sweetheart? From the young master's accent, he must be a foreigner," the vendor said while taking the lantern for Shen Lian, "The river god here is very spiritual. If you and your sweetheart If we put lanterns together and make wishes, we will be able to be together for a hundred years."

"En." Shen Lian smiled and took the lantern from the vendor without saying anything.

"Angry?" Shen Lian found Jiu Yao who followed silently.

"Big brother, do you have a sweetheart?" Jiu Yao was not sullen because the small merchant didn't sell her lanterns, but because Shen Lian bought lanterns and set them off with his sweetheart.

"Yes." Shen Lian nodded, "Nine demons, let's put on the lanterns."

Jiu Yao didn't expect that his elder brother really had a sweetheart, and suddenly his desire to put lanterns faded.

"Silly girl, what are you thinking?" Shen Lian also noticed that Jiu Yao was unhappy, so he gently patted Jiu Yao's cheek.

"It's okay." Jiu Yao felt that his heart seemed to be broken to the ground.

"Let's go, big brother, let's go and put the lanterns." Jiu Yao looked at the couples of lovers by the river who put the lanterns on the water, feeling quite uncomfortable.
