Big Moon Ballad

Little Li Ji lay on the bed, his body getting colder and colder.

He is a child without parents, and he never expects anyone in the world to treat him unconditionally.

Ying Baoyue was willing to save him, and spent so much effort to raise him, Li Ji was very puzzled.

It's not that he hasn't guessed whether she, as a practitioner, also takes a fancy to something hidden in him.

Of course he was also afraid, but as time went by, Ying Baoyue was so kind to him day after day, little Li Ji gradually felt that if it was her, he would be willing.

If he couldn't get rid of the fate of being eaten by others, he might as well be eaten by her.

So he settled down and decided to stay by Ying Baoyue's side.

Gradually, he found that Ying Baoyue didn't seem to have any intention of raising him and eating him.

Now Xiao Li Ji was even more disturbed.

Because he felt that he was useless.

Ying Baoyue can take good care of herself and live a good life alone, but he is the one who can't do without her.

Just when she was uneasy, she accepted him as her apprentice, and Xiao Li Ji once again found an opportunity to repay her. In the end, he didn't expect that he was so stupid, and he didn't learn anything well after studying for so long.

From Xiao Liji's point of view, Ying Baoyue was kind-hearted and didn't want to hurt him, so he was going to take him deep into the forest and let him fend for himself.

"Don't worry, I really don't want to throw you away."

Ying Baoyue looked at the tearful young man lying beside him, and could only comfort him again with a wry smile.

It's her fault too, she shouldn't scare him like this.

There is no precocity without reason in this world, and there is no precocity without reason.

The pain of childhood needs to be repaid throughout his life. Little Li Ji felt extremely insecure due to his childhood experience, and with no one to protect him, he had to force himself to adapt to this world, and he became the precocious appearance he is now.

"Really? Really really?"

Little Li Ji blinked his big wet eyes and asked suspiciously.

Looking at him, Ying Baoyue felt a little sad.

She didn't know how long it would take to heal the scars in the child's heart.

If only God gave her a little more time.

Too bad she didn't.

"If you don't believe me, can we pull the hook?" Ying Baoyue smiled and stretched out her fingers, the only way to comfort him was this way.

"it is good!"

Xiao Liji stretched out his hand happily.

The soft little hands hooked her, and Ying Baoyue's heart softened.

She quietly looked at the pair of dark eyes beside her, and said softly, "I promise you that I will never abandon you."

Xiao Li Ji was startled, and looked at her intently with big eyes.

"If you pull the hook and hang yourself, you cannot change it for 100 years."

"Well, it won't change," Ying Baoyue smiled slightly, "If I break the contract, let me have a terrible death, okay?"

"That can't be done!"

Little Li Ji was taken aback, and shook his head violently, "Just... just a little... just a little punishment."

"Okay," Ying Baoyue said with a smile, "then let Heaven punish me."

……

……

Let heaven punish me.

In the dark cold palace, Li Ji suddenly opened his eyes.

"Mr. Zhaohua?!"

Officer Yao, who had just walked beside him, was startled, and took a step back suddenly, "Did I wake you up?"

In the darkness, Li Ji's eyes almost merged with the night, looking a little scary.

"No, I just had a dream," Li Ji sat up and stared quietly at the female officer in front of him.

As before, when Officer Yao approached him, for some reason he couldn't feel her breath at all.

Even if she is a ghost, this is not the case. It seems that there is something weird hidden in this woman.

"Dream? What dream?"

Lady Yao put down the food box and asked.

"I dreamed about a promise I made with someone when I was young," Li Ji said softly.

"Agreement?"

Ms. Yao was taken aback, what promise can be remembered for so long?

She asked curiously, "The other party repented?"

Li Ji was silent for a moment, nodded, and shook his head again.

What does it mean?Ms. Yao was puzzled.

"She missed the appointment, but I hope she won't be punished. I was really naive at the time. It would be nice if this agreement didn't exist."

Li Ji looked at the moon shining through the broken tiles above his head.

He really hated himself who made the agreement with Li Zhaoxu at that time.

"Mr. Zhaohua? Are you okay?"

Ms. Yao stood aside, inexplicably feeling that Li Ji's eyes were a little creepy.

Since Li Ji came back from Queen Qin's palace the night before yesterday, she felt that Li Ji's aura had changed.

"Speaking of Mr. Zhaohua, what are you going to do next? Have you found the person you are looking for?"

"I found it." Li Ji glanced at her, knowing what the other party wanted to ask, "But I'm not going to leave for the time being. I heard that King Hejian will enter the palace tomorrow. I'm going to see him before leaving."

King of Hejian?Lady Yao froze for a moment before realizing that it was Ying Xun who had been crowned the king of the county.

Although Ying Xun has a title, the old people in the palace are still used to calling him the eldest son.

"Okay, I'll let you know when King Hejian enters the palace tomorrow."

……

……

Its daybreak.

Ying Baoyue opened her eyes, looking at the boy who fell asleep holding her fingers beside her, feeling a little complicated.

She had a dream.

The dream is full of him growing up.

"elder sister?"

I don't know if he noticed Ying Baoyue's gaze, Xiao Li Ji rubbed his eyes and opened them.

"Good morning."

Ying Baoyue came back to her senses and pushed him, "Go and wash up, we are ready to go."

After breakfast, Ying Baoyue packed his dry food, and took Li Ji, who was carrying a sword, to the depths of the cloud forest.

The two walked for a whole morning, finished their dry food, and continued to walk deep.

The surrounding trees are getting bigger and bigger, and the light is getting weaker and weaker.

"elder sister?"

Xiao Li Ji looked at the surrounding scenery with both surprise and apprehension.

Although he would go out to chop wood alone, he had never been in such a deep place.Because Ying Baoyue restricted the distance for him to leave the hut, and never allowed him to leave the hut too far.

"This is the hinterland of the cloud forest, and you must never approach it normally."

Ying Baoyue looked at the dark and damp road ahead with dark eyes.

"This is also the oldest place in the cloud forest."

"Old..." Xiao Li Ji repeated this sentence, his eyes were ignorant.

Ying Baoyue led him forward for another quarter of an hour, and finally stopped.

"Okay, here we are, this is where I want to take you."

A gust of fresh water vapor rushed towards his face, and Xiao Li Ji opened his eyes wide.

What a big lake!

A huge lake appeared in front of the two of them.

There is also a lake outside the hut built by Ying Baoyue, but it cannot be compared with this lake.

The lake in front of me stretches as far as the eye can see, and the color of the lake is much darker than that of the lake at the door, like a large piece of dark green emerald inlaid in the dense forest, it is bottomless at first glance.
