"Big sister?" In the spirit boat, Yun Che looked at Xue Huan, his eyes filled with tears, but he forced himself not to let them fall, because he was not sure if the big sister in front of him was real.
He had seen the elder sister appear in front of him like a hero many times before, but when he jumped towards her happily, he found herself empty-handed. The elder sister disappeared without a trace like an illusion.
So, this time, even though the elder sister looked very real, the feeling of her hugging him was very real, the smell of her body was very real, and everything seemed very real, he didn't dare to confirm it, because he had been disappointed too many times before, and he didn't dare to hold on to hope anymore, for fear of being met with a deeper disappointment.
Seeing little Yun Che wanting to rush over for a hug but hesitant about something, Xue Huan's heart ached. She hugged him tightly and held him in her arms. "I'm sorry, big sister, you came too late. You made us suffer so much."
At the same time, he took out a blanket and wrapped him tightly from head to toe.
The "July Snow" just now was caused by Xue Huan. At the beginning, she added a layer of protection for Xiao Yunche to prevent him from being frozen by the heavy snow, but seeing that he was naked, she still subconsciously felt that he was cold.
“Big sister, Che’er missed you so much… Wah…” After realizing that the big sister holding him was real, Yun Che could no longer hold back and buried his head in her arms and burst into tears.
Before, he didn't even dare to cry because the jailers would find it noisy. If he cried, they would whip him viciously, so even if he wanted to cry, he would hold it back.
In just a few days, he had been forced to mature and become much more sensible from a carefree child.
Xue Huan didn't say anything about not crying, but just patted his back, letting him cry as much as he wanted, and vent all the negative emotions such as fear, worry, panic, etc. that had accumulated in his heart.
However, Yun Che cried for a while, and suddenly seemed to remember something. He stopped crying abruptly, hiccuping and saying in panic, "Big sister, hurry up and leave! Those bad guys are coming to catch you!"
As he spoke, he looked around anxiously, alert for bad guys who might show up at any time.
He looked up and realized he was actually on a ship, and this ship was actually in the sky! There was nothing on all sides, the white clouds were so close that he could touch them, the houses below were only the size of a palm, and the people moving among them were like ants.
For a moment, he was so shocked that he forgot to cry.
Xue Huan embraced him, wiped his tears, and asked him softly, "Are you afraid?"
Yun Che hugged her neck tightly and cautiously peeked outside the spirit boat. Although he was clearly very scared, he said, "Che'er, don't be afraid."
Xue Huan laughed, "It's okay to be afraid, but I'm here and won't let Che'er fall."
There were no children's clothes in her storage bracelet, but Yuan Xi had refined several sets of robes for her, both inside and out. The robes were engraved with formations that allowed the clothes to change with the body shape - the Ruyi Formation. She took out the simplest set of robes and put them on Yun Che.
The robes were white, with a circle of blue cloud patterns on the collar and sleeves. They were similar to Hu clothing and were relatively neutral. After Yun Che put them on, he became a young master with rosy cheeks and white teeth.
He touched the clothes in surprise. He didn't know how it suddenly became smaller. It didn't feel loose at all. It was so big just now, big enough for two of him to wear.
Xue Huan didn't give him any perfunctory or vague advice, but explained it to him again: "Che'er, this is a robe. Look at these secret patterns embroidered on it with silver thread. They are actually runes. There are Ruyi patterns that can change the size of the robe, dust-avoiding runes that keep the clothes dust-free, and Vajra runes for protection..."
Her words involved many technical terms, and Yun Che seemed to understand them vaguely.
Xue Huan patted his head and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand now. When Che'er knows more, he will understand naturally."
Yun Che nodded seriously, "Che'er will learn from big sister in the future."
Just as he finished speaking, his stomach started to growl.
Yun Che touched his stomach and said embarrassedly, "Big Sister, Che'er is hungry."
Xue Huan: "Come on, big sister will take our Che'er to eat something delicious!" As she spoke, she drove the spirit boat downwards.
Out of consideration for Yun Che, she slowed down her pace, but Yun Che was still a little frightened. He closed his eyes and buried himself in her arms, not daring to look out.
"Che'er, don't be afraid. Big sister is here. Open your eyes and look."
With her comfort, Yun Che mustered up the courage to open his eyes. Seeing the things below growing larger and larger, his timidity gradually faded away, and a sense of novelty and excitement filled him.
Xue Huan parked the spirit boat on a lake and cast a spell of confusion on the people around her so that they would not be surprised by the sudden appearance of the spirit boat.
There were many restaurants, eateries and teahouses standing by the lake. Xue Huan cast an illusion on herself and Yun Che and was about to take him ashore.
But Yun Che pulled him back. He looked around fearfully and said worriedly, "Big Sister, we're going to be caught by the bad guys."
This child was frightened by the officers and soldiers who had rushed into the mansion with ferocious looks, leaving him with a deep psychological trauma.
Xue Huan patted his head lovingly, "Don't be afraid, we won't be caught now, Che'er, look."
She took out a mirror and held it in front of him. Yun Che saw a strange face reflected in the mirror. "Who is this?"
As soon as he opened his mouth to speak, he saw the child in the mirror also opening his mouth to speak. He blinked, and the child in the mirror also blinked. He shook his head, and the child in the mirror also shook his head. He suddenly realized that the child in the mirror was himself!
But, I obviously don’t look like this.
"Big sister—" He turned and looked at Xue Huan for help, but saw that the person next to him had also changed and was no longer the big sister!
At this moment, Yun Che felt an unprecedented panic, just like the feeling of suddenly falling from a great height in a dream.
Xue Huan quickly removed the illusion: "Che'er, Big Sister is here. I cast an illusion on you and me just now, so we look different. Feel it, Big Sister hasn't actually changed."
She held his little hand and put it against her face, letting him feel it.
Hearing the voice of his elder sister and feeling her warm skin, Yun Che's panic slowly subsided. It turned out that his elder sister was still there. It scared him to death.
After Xue Huan explained to Yun Che what illusion was and demonstrated it several times with real objects in front of him, Yun Che finally accepted the fact that he and his elder sister had temporarily changed their appearances.
"Those bad guys must be looking for us everywhere, so we have to change our appearance so that they can't recognize us and they can't catch us."
Yun Che accepted this statement.
