Thirty-seven people walk alone

Her appearance was indeed very bad, not as calm as the okra, who was as calm as ice and calm as ever. Jun Li took a handkerchief from her arms and wiped the tears on her face and the blood on the corners of her lips. Okra was angry at first and turned to avoid it, but later, she knew she could not hide, so she could only let him do it like this, unable to even say a word.

Jun Li wiped her face carefully, and then she lowered her hand and said, "You're calm now? I'll untie your acupoints, don't you rush out?"

"I...I don't know!" Okra's eyes wandered, not daring to look at him.

"That's just that I can't let you go." Jun Li took away his handkerchief, hugged her, and then carried her back to the head of the bed.

For some reason, Jun Li's behavior would not scare her. This time, Okra didn't even say a word. After he put her down, she spoke embarrassedly: "Gu Junli!"

"how?"

"Chen Fengming... didn't make things difficult for you?"

"He only told me you're here and asked me to come back and have a look."

"...Hmph, you don't have to do this. I know you will be secretly laughing at me in your heart. I... will never let you go after I've caused him trouble!"

Jun Li smiled: "This time, I'm not good at it. If I hadn't been fighting with you for a while and leaving you alone, Chen Fengming wouldn't have appeared so boldly." He said, sitting by the bed, "You have a rest, I'll be here to accompany you."

Okra's eyes raised and fell down, and he wanted to speak but stopped for a while. After a while, he said, "You don't want to leave, do you want to continue to see my embarrassed look?"

Junli had not spoken yet, and Okra continued, "You can use me as a topic of conversation in the future and tell others about my ugly things, right?"

Jun Li said nothing, but Okra said again: "Even my master has never seen me as embarrassed as I am. Why do you have to watch here?"

"Miss Qiu, have you said enough?" Jun Li was forced to helpless by her again. If it were before, she would have really gotten up and left.

"I just told you to rest, don't you think randomly?" he said, "You think I have so much leisure, and you are embarrassed by me, so what's so good about it - you're just talking about it, you're far away. I, Jun Li, have only you as a friend, and even if you want to say it, it's not easy for others to say."

Okra's lips trembled slightly and she turned her face away. "Who is your friend?"

"Then there is no one friend." Jun Li also turned his face away in sigh.

"I... didn't mean that." Okra defended, but then gritted his teeth and said, "Don't you untie my acupoints yet? I... feel very uncomfortable!"

"You promised me not to look for Chen Fengming within three days, and I will let you go." Jun Li said.

"Three days?"

"I will stay in the inn these three days, but I will leave on the fourth day of the New Year, so I can't control you anymore. Anyway, I'll let you promise you for a long time, and you can't do it. You can just promise me for three days."

"Three days are three days, let me go!"

Jun Li had no choice but to reach out, untie her acupoints, and said, "You should first adjust your breathing yourself."

Okra's body was free, and she really lost the energy to rush out for a while, so she sat down and slowly began to regulate her breathing. It took a long time to practice the world, but her body was indeed much more comfortable. When she opened her eyes, she saw Jun Li still sitting in the room.

"Have you seen enough? Are you still here and not leaving?"

"I said I don't want you to leave the order. If Chen Fengming comes again, you are no match for him."

"Hmph, I'm not his opponent, so what can you do with your little three-legged cat kung fu?"

"At least we are here, he shouldn't dare to bully you again."

"If he doesn't come, I will go to find him, I..."

"Look for him? What did you promise me just now?"

"...It's only three days, and in three days, don't even think about stopping me again!"

Jun Li smiled and said, "I won't stop you, but - have you decided, when will I go to Lin'an?"

Okra was stunned. Jun Li said that he would accompany him to Lin'an for half a month. At that time, he showed some disdain on his face, but he had already planned this in his heart. When he heard him ask, he became a little hesitant.

"I'm going to come back until the 16th." Jun Li said, "If you don't worry, wait for me."

Okra was delighted, but his face still showed an unhappiness: "Why should I wait for you?"

"I didn't force you to wait for me." Jun Li said in a faint tone. "It's just that according to the hexagram, I don't want something to happen to you."

Okra's tone stopped, lowered his head and turned away, muttering, "I'll wait, I'm going to find the Chen man here!"

Although Jun Li said this, he couldn't help feeling guilty, because he really didn't know that this month, could he come back? If he couldn't, how would he tell her?

"Let's go," he stood up. "Your window is broken, go and ask the shop to change your room."

"Forget it, it's nothing."

"I'll change it if I say it." Jun Li was rarely persistent.

"...Oh." Okra had no choice but to respond. When packing up the items, she suddenly turned into something in her bag.

"By the way. There is something... let you see." She said, taking out a half-folded piece of paper from her bag.

"What is it?" Jun Li reached out to pick it up.

Okra did not answer, but just carried the piano and walked out. Jun Li unfolded the paper and was slightly surprised, "Didn't you say there is no?"

"I thought it wasn't there, but this time I went back to reorganize the master's belongings, but I found it, so I copied it down... With this, you should be able to calculate anything?"

"It's rare that you trust me so much again," Jun Li smiled. "I'll take a closer look for you when I look back."

"Don't tell me after you read it." Okra lowered her head.

"Why is this?"

"I... am always a little scared, I don't know what kind of fate I have." Okra said, "Well, if it's good, you tell me, if it's bad, don't say it."

Jun Li looked at her, then raised his hand and returned the paper. "Since you are not ready, don't look at it. The God who hurts you and my God."

"I……"

"But I know your birth date." Jun Li said with a smile. "In September of the year of Guihai, you were born in autumn, plus Guihai's Gui - no wonder you are called okra."

Okra suddenly took a breath and realized that the girl's birth date and horoscope was originally a very private thing. It was only written on the Geng Post and delivered to the other party's house when she was engaged, but she actually delivered it to him. But she didn't need to blush at all, because Jun Li didn't seem to care. He has seen many men and women in the eight characters. What's so special about this?

On the fourth day of November, the weather was sunny and the thin snow melted, but it still couldn't stop the cold winter that was pouring in. Even the okra moved its fingers for a long time before playing the piano freely.

Suddenly, she heard a knock on the door, and she thought it was Jun Li. He once said that he would leave this morning, and now he should be here to say a parting.

Unexpectedly, he stood up to answer the door. The man standing outside was a shop guy. When he saw her, he said, "Girl, the guest in the room next to me, let me bring you a message..."

"Why, he's gone?" Okra changed color.

"The girl guessed it right. He just left, and asked me to tell the girl that if he didn't come back this month, he wouldn't be ready to come back. The girl wouldn't have to wait. Go to Lin'an and find someone named... "Mrs. Ling". Look, he also left a letter saying that if he didn't come back, I'll have to help me and bring this letter to Mrs. Ling."

When Okra saw him handing him a letter, she felt a little sank for some reason, thinking that he was not going to come back. "Madam Ling..." she murmured, "Who is Madam Ling?"

"Oh, Mrs. Ling is the wife of 'Young Master Ling'." The guy said and touched his head. "That's what he said means he didn't say, but the guest official said that when Miss Ru asked, she just answered."

Young Master Ling? Okra thought to myself. Is it the wife of Young Master Ling whom I met in Hongfulou that day? She is in Lin'an? But... I don't know where Mrs. Ling lives in Lin'an. Instead, she felt even more ominous in her heart. She flipped through the envelope and wanted to open it.

"Oh, no, girl, that guest official specifically explained that this letter was for Mrs. Ling, and the girl cannot read it casually."

"He... he really wants to tell me this, why don't he talk about it himself!" Okra hated him, pushed him away, and went downstairs, running straight outside. There was no one in the deserted alley. At first glance, although there was a faint sunshine, it shone on the rows of black-eaves and white walls, as if the entire sky was reflected in a grey mist.

He had just left. She remembered the guy saying, "He just left." She hadn't had the nerve to ask him carefully where he was going, why it took more than ten days so long, and why he always seemed to have a deliberate solemnity. I thought that if he had come to find him early today, just like the two days ago, he would have to ask him out, but he wouldn't come like that.

She ran along the narrow alley to Kuan Street. Even the pedestrians were deserted on Kuan Street. Without him, he was no longer there. Without that white Taoist robe, no tied Taoist bun, and no worn bamboo box. Looking around, there was no such person in her heart at all!

What could make her anxious gaze pause was the traveler in black at the end of the long street, wearing a long lace, with a sword on his back. Perhaps what attracted her was his slow but firm steps, or - he had a figure that looked like Jun Li. But before he could see clearly, he had turned around the corner and disappeared. She felt empty in her heart, and suddenly looked down at the letter sealed with red paint in her hand.

He said he would come back on the 16th. He only said that if he didn't come back, he would ask me to go to Lin'an alone. In any case, I would have to wait until the 16th. She thought, squeezed the letter tightly and said secretly, Okra, what's wrong with you? What are you worried about? Even if he doesn't come back, so what?

A sudden flash of Shen Fengming's ridicule to himself that day flashed back in his mind - "You are sad for a Taoist priest here", "and he knows nothing about your intentions at all"!

No. She shook her head hard. When did I feel sad? How could it be for a Taoist priest? This man surnamed Shen is talking nonsense! Yes, Shen Fengming humiliated me deeply. I was going to kill him with his own hands to vent his hatred. Now three days have passed, and Gu Junli is not in the way. I happened to go to him to avenge this shame, and I don’t believe where he can hide!

She thought about seeking revenge on Chen Fengming, and finally she seemed to have found some sustenance for the waiting for more than ten days, and turned around and walked back to the inn.

However, just as Jun Li had calculated a long time ago, she certainly could not find Chen Fengming's. Within three days, he watched Okra, not giving her the opportunity to find Chen Fengming alone, and changed to live in her room. In this way, if Chen Fengming came to disturb him again, he would appear first; today three days later, he would go up the mountain with Chen Fengming until the Tiandu Peak Conference on the 15th, Chen Fengming should be in his sight; and after this month, if he could live, he could go to Lin'an with Okra; if he could not die if he took revenge, Okra had his own letter to Lingli couple, Chen Fengming was afraid that Lingli would be like this, so he would not dare to be rude to her anymore.

However, Chen Fengming is not the thing he is most worried about. The bigger problem is that Okra wants to enter the palace to steal the piano. The hexagram is very clear. If Okra is alone, Okra's journey is very bad, the letter is of course not just guarding against Chen Fengming's guise. Although she has no position to ask Mrs. Ling for anything, when she saw the letter, even if she is unwilling to take risks in person, she will always try to help protect her friend.

It's not perfect, but it's all he can plan for her.
