Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 1344 Time
"But it's really hot with a mask on."

Ying Baoyue looked at the boy by the window scratching his head impatiently, and accidentally messed up his freshly combed hair.

"I'm sorry, sister, I didn't do it on purpose..." Xiao Li Ji immediately showed shame.

"It's okay, since you don't want to go out to foster in other people's homes and decide to stay here, just treat me as your parents."

The woman calmly picked up the comb again, "I have never seen a child who apologizes to his parents all day long."

Little Li Ji's bun face wrinkled, "You are not my parents."

The boy's tone was very dissatisfied.

"You are not a few years older than me, how can you be my parents?"

"Okay, okay," the woman said with a good-natured smile, "then treat me as your older sister."

"But you can't look at the age of a practitioner by looking at the surface. My son is about the same height as you."

son?

Ying Baoyue was shocked when he heard the words, the person who proposed to Li Ji when he was a child, actually already had a child?

If it's about the same height, then it's about the same age as Li Ji?

People who are about the same age as Li Ji...

She just happened to know one.

Among them, Ji Qingyuan is the closest in age to Li Ji.

Looking at the somewhat familiar figure of the woman in front of her, Ying Baoyue had an ominous premonition for some reason.

Practitioners can't judge their age just by their appearance, because after reaching the heavenly rank, the body's aging rate will slow down. Even if they don't reach the heavenly rank, practitioners generally look younger than their peers.

The girl Li Zhao whom Li Ji misses so much, might really be much older than him.

Ying Baoyue found it hard to accept for a while, but considering Li Ji's integrity, he probably wouldn't propose to a married woman...

Sure enough, he heard the woman behind him mention his son, and the young boy sitting by the window was a little stiff and was hit hard.

"son……"

"As you clearly said, you are no one's wife now."

"Yes," the girl combed his hair again, "but no matter whether I married his father or not, the son is still a son, after all, I brought him into this world."

This……

That's right, just like her master, Ji Qingyuan is her son no matter whether he is married to Ji Mo or not.

Ying Baoyue already felt that things were getting worse.

"Well," the little boy muttered, "Anyway, as long as you don't marry, others still have a chance..."

"What are you thinking?" the woman interrupted him in time, fastened the hairband on his head, and put the bronze mirror in front of him, "Okay, do you want to see it?"

Although he was young, the little boy had extremely long black hair, with a small bun on his head. He looked like a fairy boy on Penglai Island.

Although this scene looked very pleasing to the eye, all of Ying Baoyue's attention was on the hairband on Xiao Li Ji's head.

It was an embroidered cyan hairband with characters and green dragon patterns tattooed on it. Thinking of Li Ji's origin in Soochow, Ying Baoyue immediately understood.

This headband was simple in style, but it didn't look ordinary, at least it was much better than the straw rope tied around Li Ji's head when she saw him.

When I was young, I could tie my headband properly, but why did I become like that when I grew up?
"It looks good." Xiao Li Ji touched the bun on his head, staring at his own head with a complicated expression, "Actually, you don't need to be so careful, as long as you can tie up the hair tie my mother left me. "

"After all, this is the only relic left to you by your mother. I hope you wear it properly on your head," the woman smiled. "I have added the protection of real essence on it, and it will not rot or break for decades. You can use it with peace of mind, you don’t need to hide it in your arms anymore.”

Little Li Ji nodded.

He turned around and threw himself into the arms of the woman behind him.

"Thank you."

Is that so?

Ying Baoyue was a little emotional. Although she had already guessed, Li Ji's parents died since childhood.

However, his mother also left him a relic, and it seems that she loves this son very much.

But... not corrupt for decades?

Ying Baoyue looked at the straw rope on Li Ji's head beside her, and her heart skipped a beat.

If so, where is the hair tie now?
Based on her understanding of Li Ji, he is not someone who would lose his mother's belongings.

Looking at the woman who caught the little boy and patted him on the back with a smile, Ying Baoyue looked a little complicated.

This should be the happiness that Li Ji was looking forward to.

The light and shadow in front of my eyes are changing, even though the cloud forest is covered with clouds and fog all year round, the four seasons still come in time.

Ying Baoyue stood beside Li Ji, watching the trees and flowers grow little by little in the small courtyard.

In order to avoid suspicion and keep the young boy warm, the woman built a small wooden house on the big tree behind the stone house. Ying Baoyue watched Xiao Li Ji climb up the tree vines, and the woman followed him worriedly below.

The woman was hoeing, and Xiao Li Ji followed her to water. The woman went out with a basket on her back, and Xiao Li Ji carefully checked the mask and took her hand to go to the market happily.

The woman was practicing sword practice in the yard, and Xiao Li Ji was holding a wooden sword to imitate, but fell down.

The woman laughed and stood beside him, carefully pointing out every move.

The vegetables in the yard were harvested one crop after another, and the fruit trees were full of fruits. The woman went out with a bow and arrow on her back, and Xiao Li Ji also went out with a small bow and arrow on her back.

There is a thick layer of fallen leaves, autumn passes and winter arrives.

Large flakes of snow fell from the sky.

Ying Baoyue and Li Ji stood outside the fence, their shoulders covered with snow.

A fire was lit in the house, but the woman was far away from the fire.

"Sister, let's warm up by the fire."

"I'm not cold," the woman threw a few tubers into the fire. "This fire is for you. You can't light a fire in the wooden house. You can go to sleep after warming up here."

"It's too cold." Little Li Ji shivered by the fire, "I would have chosen the fire method before I knew it."

"Don't even think about it in your life," the woman blurted out, "You were destined to be a water magician when you were born."

"Can this kind of thing be destined?" Xiao Li Ji frowned suspiciously, but then looked expectantly at the woman outside the fire, "Sister, I was so cold that I didn't fall asleep last night."

"Can I sleep with you tonight?"

"No," the woman wiped her sword calmly, "Didn't I feed you Tang Pozi? Why are you still cold?"

"Mrs. Tang was completely cold in the middle of the night." The little boy said pitifully, "How can it be as warm as the Fire Magician?"

"Then you go out of the woods to find the other fire practitioners," the woman remained calm, "You are barely old enough to be engaged, and men and women can't accept kisses."

"You think I'm too old at this moment?" Xiao Li Ji was speechless, "When I proposed marriage before, you said I was too young. What's the reason?"

"You are indeed too young," the woman laughed, "I said before, you can't say such things casually."

The woman's eyes stared at the burning fire for a long time.

"In the future, you will definitely meet better people."

"Don't waste your time on people like me."

Facing the boy's desperate objection and disapproval eyes, she just shook her head slightly.

"I don't want to hurt anyone anymore."
