My sister-in-law said something like 'I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of', and Ji Bochang naturally doesn't need to pretend to excuse himself anymore...

After more than 20 years, he returned to his former home.

When he saw that a peach tree that he had planted casually was now slim, and there were still small fruits that had just borne fruit hidden between the branches, he couldn't help but lose his mind.

"This peach tree is still there..."

"yes."

Tong Sanniang also knew that this was his former residence, and joked with a smile: "People are the predecessors who planted trees and the later people enjoy the shade, you are the predecessors who planted trees, and I was the sister-in-law who picked the fruit." ”

"Huh?"

Tong An'an seemed to have discovered something interesting, and asked with surprise on his little face: "Was this big peach tree in our family planted by Uncle Ji?" ”

"Not bad."

Ji Bochang touched her little head and said with a smile: "When I planted this peach tree, Uncle Ji was not as old as you are now, but now it is luxuriant, which is really gratifying." ”

"Oh~"

The little girl's face was abrupt, and then she said with a smile: "I said why are the peaches in the big peach tree so sweet, it turns out that Uncle Ji planted them." ”

"Hahahaha..."

Ji Bo often couldn't help laughing when he heard this, pinched her little face affectionately, and said with a smile: "No matter how sweet the peach is, it is not as sweet as An An'an's little mouth~"

"Alright, alright."

Tong Sanniang shook her head with a smile and said, "An An, I still have something to talk about with your Uncle Ji, you can play by yourself." ”

"Then mother, you and Uncle Ji will talk slowly."

The little girl responded obediently, and then slipped out with a smile on her face.

"Tut-tut..."

Ji Bochang watched the little girl's back disappear, and couldn't help but sigh: "An An, this kid is full of aura between his eyebrows, and his future is immeasurable~"

"I don't expect her to be rich and promising, I just hope that she can be safe and sound."

Tong Sanniang also sighed, and then seemed to react, and beckoned: "Bochang, you sit down first, I'll make a pot of tea." ”

Ji Bochang bowed slightly, but did not sit down, just quietly looked at the place where he had lived for eight years...

After a while...

Tong Sanniang came over with a tea set, and she said while pouring tea: "When Uncle Ji and Aunt Ning died, our family was all outside, and when I came back, I heard that you had moved away, and your Uncle Li and Brother Hong Yan still wanted to look for you, but they didn't find it." ”

"I have a heart..."

Ji Bo often smiled when he heard this, but he didn't take it to heart.

I couldn't pay the rent at the beginning, and I was sent to live in a lonely city by the outer disciples of Xianxia Mountain, this is not a secret, if you really want to find it, how can you not find it?

After all, Uncle Li is just a neighbor of his father's generation, and although the relationship is good, he has not yet reached the point where he can take the initiative to adopt each other's children, so he has never been surprised...

Correspondingly, what Tong Sanniang is saying now is just a polite remark, and he can't take it seriously.

"Later, your Uncle Li thought of Uncle Ji, so he rented this courtyard and handed it over to me and your eldest brother Hongyan to live in."

Tong Sanniang pushed the tea in front of him, as if to explain, and said with emotion: "This is why I live here now." ”

"Sister-in-law, don't worry too much..."

Ji Bo often said with a wry smile: "I came here just to remember the past, and when it comes to living time, I have only lived here for eight years, which is far less than my sister-in-law's affection." ”

"That's my sister-in-law worrying."

Tong Sanniang smiled and said, "I haven't talked about you yet, I remember that you were smart when you were a child, like a little adult, you can learn anything." ”

Her voice paused, and she asked, "How come all these years have passed, and it's still only a third-level Qi cultivation cultivation?" But the practice is lazy? ”

"I'm not lazy..."

Ji Bochang shook his head and said self-deprecatingly: "Xianxia Mountain has measured the qualification of a five-line pseudo-spirit root for me, and my little cleverness has been beaten back to its original form at once." ”

As he spoke, he took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and said, "Being able to cultivate to the third level of Qi cultivation is the result of my conscientious and pendeficence for more than 20 years. ”

"Five-line pseudo-spirit roots?"

Tong Sanniang glanced at him suspiciously, then seemed to think of something, and said with relief: "After less than a hundred years of foundation building, it will be a pinch of loess, and it will always be the same." ”

“……”

Ji Bochang couldn't think of a reason to refute it for a while, and couldn't help laughing: "Sister-in-law can see it." ”

"I'm looking at it now."

Tong Sanniang shook her head and said self-deprecatingly: "For example, your eldest brother Hongyan, who practiced to the late stage of qi refining seven years ago, in order to prepare for the foundation building, he should go to Mangshan Mountain to find the immortal grass...

But the result?

It's not like you're dead...

For example, I myself, the cultivation of the sixth layer of Qi cultivation is not blocked at the door of the house to collect debts, and I can't even pay a year's rent, so what's the use? ”

“……”

Ji Bochang looked at his sister-in-law who was already 'lying flat', and couldn't help but sigh and asked, "It's a big deal to change places to live, why is this so?" ”

"Somewhere else?"

Tong Sanniang took the tea and drank it all, and said: "It doesn't matter if I am alone, even if I dig a hole in the mountain outside, I can live."

But what about An'an?

What did she do?

She's only seven years old this year, and her spiritual root hasn't been tested yet, so should she let her go to live in a cave with me? Or to a lonely city with a thin aura and abandon qualifications? ”

“……”

Ji Bo is often silent, although he has no children, he can fully understand the determination of a parent who wants to give the best to his children...

"Well, don't mention me."

Tong Sanniang asked disapprenantly, "What about you?" What are your plans for returning to Fang City this time? ”

"Nothing to do."

Ji Bochang said half-truthfully: "I learned a little craft outside, and then I came back with a hot head, first find a place to live, and then find a way to find a few Taoist companions to spread the branches, and I guess that's it." ”

"You...... Seekers? Or several? ”

Tong Sanniang was stunned, and after coming back to her senses, she thought he was joking, so she scolded with a smile: "Your kid's cultivation qualifications are not high, but what you think is quite beautiful."

"That's not it..."

Ji Bochang also smiled, and said disapprovingly: "The cultivation qualifications are not good, if you don't think about it anymore, then what's the point of living?" ”

"Go, go..."

Tong Sanniang saw that he was still joking, so she waved her hand, and then said with a straight face: "Can I discuss something with you?" ”

"Sister-in-law can be blunt."

Ji Bo added meaningfully: "Except for borrowing spirit stones, as long as we can help with other things, we will definitely not say anything." ”

"I see that your cleverness since childhood has not been beaten back to its original form."

Tong Sanniang pursed her lips and quipped, and said: "Don't worry, if I don't borrow spirit stones from you, I still understand the truth of saving the emergency and not the poor..."

Her voice paused, and then she said, "I will move out in a few days, if you want to continue to rent this courtyard, can you help your sister-in-law bring An'an?" ”

"Me?"

Ji Bochang first pointed at himself with a surprised face, and then pointed at her again, and said, "Help you, take An An?" ”

"Yes, I know it's a bit embarrassing, but I can't help it."

Tong Sanniang sighed and explained: "An An is too young to be inseparable from people, and now I have no relatives, and there is no one to entrust, so it is difficult to go out and earn some spirit stones." ”

"I see..."

Ji Bochang nodded with a sudden look on his face, and said, "Do you want to entrust An An to my care, and then you go out to earn spirit stones by yourself?" ”

"Yes!"

Tong Sanniang didn't hide it, stared straight into his eyes, and said: "Bochang, I won't let you take it in vain, as long as you take care of An An, the spirit stones I earned afterwards will be fifty percent of you!" ”

“……”

Ji Bochang looked at her for a while, and he also saw her sincerity, but finally shook his head and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I can't take this matter..."
