[System] Where is my vest?

Four years seems to be a long time at first, but when four years have passed, looking back, I feel that these four years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In four years, Jiang Lan grew taller, and Jiang Huainan grew faster and taller than him.

In the past four years, Lu Ze has visited Jianghuainan every year. During the day, Lu Ze will guide Jianghuainan. When night falls, he will stay in the inn not far from Lijiang's house.When Jiang Huainan was ten years old, under the guidance of Lu Ze, he completed the introduction of Qi into the body and became a true Taoist cultivator.

"Lan Xin, come down."

Jiang Huainan caught Jiang Lan who jumped down from the tree without shaking his body, "Why do you like staying in the tree so much?"

After Jiang Lan landed, she looked at Jiang Huainan, who was a head taller than him, and murmured to the system in her heart: [I will definitely be taller than this kid in the future. ]

The system immediately gave him a bucket of cold water: [Think about your previous height of 1.7 meters [-]. ]

Jiang Lan: [Then... I have long legs! ]

The system continued to throw cold water: [Even if your body proportions make you appear taller, it still cannot change the fact that you are only 1.7 meters five. ]

[…] Some people not only grow in stature, but also change their appearance dramatically during their adolescence.And some people can be said to have such a face since childhood.And Jiang Lan is the latter, either because he was too young when he was six years old, or because he really didn't want to admit that he was a girl. A little boy put on a little skirt and turned into a little girl.But as time went by, Jiang Lan finally had to face it. Firstly, what the system said about his body data were all copied from what he said before his death.

Jiang Lan comforted herself in her heart: "It will be fine when I grow up."

Daniu's mother was ill, and before leaving the orchard, Jiang Lan took Jiang Huainan to see her.

Daniel knocked on the door and shouted, "Aniang, Miss and Master are here to see you."

Jiang Lan stood at the door, before the door was opened, he could already smell the smell of medicine seeping out from behind the wooden door, he asked Daniel in a low voice: "Is the money enough?"

Daniel let out an "ah" and murmured, "Enough, enough."

When Jiang Lan entered the room, she saw Aunt Niu struggling to get up straight, and Daniu hurried up to support her and let her lean on him.

Aunt Niu leaned on Daniu's body, looked at Jiang Lan, and forced herself to cheer up, with a smile on her wrinkled face, "Miss."

Aunt Niu babbled a lot of things to Jiang Lan, Jiang Lan listened quietly, asking if she should, and finally Aunt Niu said: "Unfortunately, I can't see Miss growing up... "

Jiang Lan's heart tightened.Although Song Xue was his mother, she was a monk and the mother of the family after all. It was impossible for her to take care of Jiang Lan in every possible way. The most she did was to tell Jiang Lan's maid to take good care of him.But Aunt Niu is different. She will make dresses and embroidered shoes for Jiang Lan by herself. Jiang Lan is moved by the emotions in every stitch.Aunt Niu called "Miss" on her lips, but she regarded him as her granddaughter in her heart.

After setting up Aunt Niu, Da Niu sent Jiang Lan and Jiang Huainan to the gate of the orchard: "Miss, I will follow you tomorrow with another person. Auntie is ill, and I want to take care of her wholeheartedly..."

The orchard is huge, and Jiang Lan likes to stay in the trees. In order to facilitate Jiang Huainan to find someone, every time Jiang Lan comes to the orchard, Da Niu will follow him and check which tree he climbs before going to do his own business.

"who is it?"

Daniel looked around, "When I catch that kid..."

Jiang Lan was curious: "What did you say?"

Daniel quickly changed his words: "It's nothing, I will bring that person here tomorrow."

Jiang Lan nodded: "Oh."

On the way home, Jiang Lan let out a long breath, as if she wanted to let out the depression she felt when she saw Aunt Niu before.Birth, old age, sickness and death, even cultivators can escape illness, but as long as they cannot ascend, they cannot escape old age and death after all.Jiang Lan knew in her heart that Aunt Niu would let him experience the first parting in this world.This would be the first death he would meet, too.

Jiang Huainan has been silent since seeing Aunt Niu.Jiang Lan, who had returned from a fugue, bumped him with the shoulder, and asked, "What's the matter?" Jiang Lan knew Aunt Niu well, but Jiang Huainan was different. Now, besides Jiang Chu and Song Xue, there was only one that he cared about. Jiang Lan heart.

"Ah? It's nothing." Jiang Huainan gave Jiang Lan a sad look. He took Jiang Lan's hand and pulled him to speed up his pace. "Hurry up and go home."

Jiang Huainan's eyes made Jiang Lan quickly understand what he was thinking. Jiang Lan had seen the same emotion in Song Xue's eyes.Jiang Lan held Jiang Huainan's hand tightly.Jiang Hainan's palms were sweaty, and his heart was not peaceful.

Jiang Huainan, who returned to Jiangfu, left Jiang Lan and went straight to Song Xue's house.

"...Mother! Lan Xin, Lan Xin will also become like that——hmm!"

Song Xue covered Jiang Huainan's mouth, she looked up at Jiang Lan who was standing at the door.

Jiang Lan just tilted her head, pretending that she didn't hear anything, with doubts in her voice: "Mother? Brother?"

That day, Song Xue talked with Jiang Huainan for a long time, and finally Jiang Chu joined in.

Jiang Lan could guess what they were talking about without eavesdropping.

Jiang Lan nestled on the bed, and he asked the system: [Jiang Lanxin can't cultivate, which means that I won't use this identity for more than a hundred years, right? ]

[Not necessarily, after completing all the tasks at this stage, you can reveal your cultivation.Of course, it is also possible to change identities halfway, everything depends on the needs of the mission. ] The system thought for a while, and continued: [Of course, after this world is perfected, you can also come back. ]

Jiang Lan frowned, neither he nor the system knew the plot, who knew what would happen in the future, and asked: [What exactly does "this stage" refer to? Can you be more specific? ]

The system expressed its own guess: [I don't really know, you also know that the novel will be divided into volumes, and a stage probably refers to one volume. ]

[never mind. ] Jiang Lan turned away, [I haven't even seen Xia Yan's shadow yet. ]

In the early morning of the second day, Jiang Lan was woken up by the movement in the yard. Practice can make people hear and see clearly. Jiang Lan doesn't know how other people are, but his own hearing changes are obviously greater than the visual changes.He guessed that it was probably because of Feng Linggen.

Jiang Lan casually approved a dress and opened the door. He yawned and said to Jiang Huainan who was practicing sword in the yard, "Why did my brother get up so early today?"

Jiang Huainan said while practicing his sword: "It's just early, you go wash up and have breakfast, today I will take you to the orchard."
