Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 1294 Cohabitation
"Water mage?"

Li Ji was startled, and suddenly remembered what Zhao Guangxing had said before, telling him that he had the talent to become a wind mage.Wind, fire, water and thunder, he remembered that this is the division after a practitioner reaches a certain level.

"Well, if you can practice normally, you should become a water magician in the future." Li Zhao squatted on the ground and twisted the clothes in the tub, "It's the first time I've seen a practitioner who is so compatible with water .”

is it?

Li Ji was a little dazed, watching Li Zhao start to wash the clothes in the tub, his ears turned red, and he wanted to crawl down under the quilt, "That... that, I'll do it myself..."

In the broken courtyard before, the old nanny who took care of him would wash his clothes at first, but after he was eight years old, he would only throw him some acacia, and he would always be dirty if he didn't wash himself. Over time, he got used to it Everything is self-reliant.

"Don't move, your injuries haven't healed yet." Li Zhao turned his head, not knowing what she had done, a warm current blew by, and he lay back on the bed again, still holding the bowl in his hand.

"Drink the medicine and lie down," she said calmly, picked up the wooden basin and walked outside the house, but she backed away the next moment, and said helplessly, "This room is too cold for you, I won't stay here You're probably going to freeze to death."

Only then did Li Ji realize that since Li Zhao came in, the snow cave-like room was not cold anymore.

"Are you a fire mage?"

Li Ji had a guess in his mind.

Li Zhao's body seemed to be continuously emitting warm currents.

"Well," Li Zhao nodded, she looked at a sword hanging beside the bed, "I wanted you to sleep with the sword in your arms, but this sword is too hot for you."

Li Ji opened his eyes wide and looked at the sword by the bed. Although his feet were cold, his upper body was not cold. It turned out that it was the sword by the bed.

He obediently drank the medicine in the bowl, only to feel a warm current flowing down his lower abdomen, and his whole body was warm.

"This medicine..."

He also read medical books in the ruined hospital. Although he rarely fell ill, he immediately discovered that this medicine was extremely extraordinary.

He touched the wounds on his body, the wounds on his hands and feet were almost healed, and the whip wound on his back seemed to be no longer painful.

"The healing of your wounds is not due to the medicine," Li Zhao said with a complicated expression when he noticed his movements. "Your wounds began to heal within an hour after I picked you up."

"Really?" Li Ji was not surprised. His wounds healed very quickly since he was a child. The back injured by the man in black hadn't healed for a long time. He thought it was something wrong with his body.

"Then the whip on my back..." Li Ji rubbed his back. His fetal hair had never been cut since he was a child, but the whip that the man in black stunned him not only broke his long hair , and left a scar that was almost deep enough to see the bone.

The whip wound had been tormenting him all these days of being trapped in the carriage.

"That's the whip mark left by the magic weapon of a heavenly cultivator," Li Zhao said. "If you want to heal, you usually need the antidote prepared by the owner of the magic weapon, or..."

The girl squatting by the tub suddenly stood up.

"Or what?" Li Ji suddenly became nervous.

Li Zhao looked at him with a complicated expression.

The girl's clear eyes looked at him, as if she was making some choice, and the next moment, she spoke softly.

"Or you're not you anymore."

……

……

What does it mean?
Li Ji didn't understand.

The girl who picked him up suddenly appeared in front of him like a mystery, trapping his heart.

Who is she?
Why do you live alone in the deep mountains and old forests?
After drinking the medicine that Li Zhao gave him, Li Ji fell into a drowsy sleep, until the familiar sharp pain struck again in his sleep.

The small courtyard was shrouded in clouds and mists all year round, and the light was dim, but when the severe pain hit, Li Ji knew clearly that it was dawn.

It's time.

This time the pain was much more severe than before, and cold sweat dripped from the corner of his forehead. He bit the corner of the quilt tightly and remained silent.

Because he still remembers that he is now at someone else's house.

Li Zhao was sitting on the ground, leaning against the foot of the bed and sleeping with his eyes closed.

I don't know when she fell asleep yesterday, but it seems that the medicinal herbs were prepared very late.

He didn't want to wake him up.

But the sharp pain seemed to rise from the bone marrow, and it was going to explode him. Li Ji saw the veins on the back of his hand, and he wanted to roll all over the bed in pain.

Hold back, hold back, it will be fine when the hour is up.

He desperately said this to himself, his eyesight was drenched in cold sweat, the smell of blood came from his teeth, and a hoarse cry of pain came from his throat. He grabbed his throat violently, but at this moment, a warm hand covered him. on his forehead.

"Call out if it hurts."

"This may be the last time."

Hey?
He opened his eyes and met a pair of calm eyes.

"you……"

She knows what's going on with his daily pain?

The momentary shock left him speechless, but soon the severe pain made his mind go blank again, all he knew was that Li Zhao had been standing beside him, wiping the cold sweat off his face.

After an hour, his whole body seemed to be picked up from the water.

But luckily the pain ended on time.

Looking at the quilt soaked in his sweat, he got up shyly, "I'll wash it myself later..."

"It's okay, after you get better, you have plenty of time to wash."

Li Zhao said quietly.

"Okay?" He said in a daze. Could it be that the words he heard when the pain broke out were not an illusion?

the last time?
Can she make him stop the pain?

"Yesterday I thought I was wrong, but I didn't expect it to be true." Li Zhao looked at him with a complicated expression, and let out a long breath, "This is not something you can bear now."

There was an emotion in the girl's eyes that he couldn't understand.

"This is not something you should bear."

"What?" he remembered asking in a daze.

"Some things are better not to know," Li Zhao smiled, "You just know that I have a way to make you no longer hurt."

His eyes lit up, and he asked in surprise, "Really?"

"Well," the girl in front of me nodded and smiled, "It's just my first attempt, so I don't know how much it will consume, and whether I can come back."

What does can't come back mean?
Li Ji remembered sitting on the bed and staring blankly at Li Zhao taking out a letter from his arms,
"If I don't come back later, a woman will come to me in about a month. You can give her this letter when the time comes, and she will take care of you."

"Take care of me? Where are you going?"

"It's just possible," Li Zhao smiled, "There is a vegetable cellar under this house, under the bluestone three steps to the left from the door, there is enough food for you for a month, if I'm not here, you can crawl Go in and move those out, remember?"

He nodded blankly, not understanding why this woman would explain this to him.

Sitting in the night breeze, Li Ji touched the mask on his face.

It was many years later that he realized that the girl's decision that day, the day after meeting him, might actually be life-threatening.

But she did it anyway.

After breakfast that day, Li Zhao called him to the yard.

He found that there were strange patterns painted on the yard, twisting and twisting like vines.

At that time, he didn't know that this was called the magic-breaking formation.

She took his hand and walked towards the center of the formation, knelt down to look into his eyes, and spoke softly.

"let's start."
