The Chapter of Bo Yinggui Autumn - "Malicious" Tampering

In this way, the matter of moving to Xintun was settled and implemented quickly.Beneath the seemingly peaceful daily life, there are also disturbing and dark plans going on.They were faintly aware of it, but suffered from the lack of any evidence, they only held a private meeting, and did not violate any laws, so they couldn't find their excuses.During this period, what made everyone even worse was that Okita's physical condition suddenly deteriorated, coughing continuously, and it was even difficult to guarantee daily attendance at training.

"Sure enough, it has developed like this..." Lingzi lay on her left leg.

"Don't worry about that. But you, will it be too hard to worry about when those bad things will happen every day?" He stroked her hair.

"I won't think about these things all the time! Because I just want to live with you. No matter what happens, I will choose to accept it. Speaking of which, the director's illness is gradually getting worse..."

"Is there no law to cure it? Does he know it?"

"I'm afraid he realized it a little bit. With the current technology, it is indeed very difficult... Hey, Zuo Zhi, I will go to Sakamoto-san next week, okay?"

"Hey? Why are you going? I'll go with you." He showed a slightly panicked and jealous expression, which made Azusa laugh.

"Ha, don't worry~ I'm not looking for Sakamoto-san, I'm just going to visit the doctor who lives in his home. Maybe there will be some new progress in research on how to treat this disease, I want to ask."

"Oh...that's it, then it's better for me to go with you! In this way, you will call me when the time comes. Definitely!"

She smiled and nodded in response.

————————————————————————————————————————

But on the day when she was about to leave, Zuo Zhi couldn't accompany her because of a patrol mission.

"Do you have to go today?"

"Well, otherwise we will have to wait until next month! I have already delayed it once before. Today is the night of the full moon. If the doctor lacks any information, I can use this opportunity. You can concentrate on your work and don't worry. mine."

"Okay. By the way, it's Ito-san's practice banquet tonight. Can you make it back? The deputy chief said it's best for everyone to participate. Even if you don't have any friendship with Ito, Hirasuke and Saito will leave , It's better to see him off. Even if we meet in the future, we may become enemies..." Unexpectedly, such a big change has taken place in just a few months.

"I'll try my best. If there are no problems, it should be possible." The development of the matter was beyond Lingzi's knowledge, but the result basically remained the same.Ito was dissatisfied with their philosophy, especially thinking that they kept a woman in the team, and it was unbearable if they valued her so much; Opportunity, threatened to leave on the grounds that he did not trust him.Among the many soldiers who were taken away, Hirasuke and Saito were indeed included.It just happened so fast.Lingzi also understands that there are reasons of her own, so there is nothing wrong with changing the process.She had never heard of a farewell banquet, but she felt that it had the meaning of a grand banquet, which was exactly the same as what happened to Serizawa-san back then.It's just that this banquet was organized by Ito-san.Afterwards, the Shinsengumi will attack Ito and the others...

"Well, then you pay attention to safety."

After parting, Ayazusa changed her clothes in the room and headed towards Sakamoto's house.The doctor she was going to find this time was a foreigner and one of Sakamoto's most trusted people. Although she had never seen Ayazaki's real face, she was someone who knew she had cross-dressing skills.She was questioned by the guard at the door. Fortunately, after she said that she was only looking for the doctor, she was easily led in.

On the way, she chatted with the maid: "I heard that there used to be a witch here?"

"Ha, where did you hear that? It's indeed a very mysterious person! I met that lady once, she looked like an ordinary person, and she was very kind. It's just that she was so beautiful, she died unfortunately some time ago..."

"Huh?" This guy Sakamoto can really make up. "What's the reason?"

"I don't know. After all, with that kind of power, it is possible to die from exhaustion... What a pity... Ah! This is the room of that foreign doctor! You can go in and chat. If you need anything, you can ask at any time. "

After thanking the maid, Azusa went in to meet the doctor.The doctor's visit to the stranger was unknown, so after she explained her identity, she was surprised by her sudden visit, because she also heard rumors that she had passed away.After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Lingzi cut to the chase and quickly asked about the research on the treatment of tuberculosis.Ling Zi, who came here without much hope, was not too disappointed after hearing that the progress was not going well, but had a careful discussion with the doctor.

Before she knew it, the time was getting late, and she didn't pay attention to the time at all.It wasn't until she figured out her future research plan that she remembered that there was still something to do at night. "Sorry to bother you for so long."

"What's the matter, I wish Miss Miao would come here often!"

"I'll try my best~ But please continue to keep this a secret, since everyone thinks that I'm no longer here, maybe it's the best choice. For Sakamoto's sake, please keep it a secret!"

"rest assured!"

After bidding farewell to the doctor, Lingzi walked out of the house under the guidance of the previous maid.The maid asked curiously: "Miss, you can also speak foreign languages? Just now I overheard you chatting with the doctor. You kept saying things we didn't understand. You are amazing!"

"Thank you~ I just understand a little bit!"

"Our master is amazing, and so are the friends and people we meet!" The maid praised Sakamoto from the bottom of her heart.

Azusa suddenly got emotional and asked, "By the way, speaking of your master, is Sakamoto-san here today?"

"Hey? Do you know our master too?" The maid seemed very surprised, but quickly replied: "What a coincidence, he is out doing business recently."

"Still so busy..." Lingzi sighed.Originally, she didn't want to go back to attend the farewell banquet. She planned to go back and wait for the banquet to end before saying goodbye to Saito and Yoheisuke alone.It must be too late now, why not go back later.So I wanted to ask about Sakamoto's situation on a whim.Maybe, we can meet again.I don't know how he lived after that... Now in the Shinsengumi, she has tried to reduce her participation in the gatherings of the cadres as much as possible. One is that Ito doesn't want to criticize him, and the other is that she doesn't want to get involved anymore.Therefore, she is not very clear about the news about Sakamoto. "Do you seldom come back? How can your body bear it if you always do this..."

"That's right! Didn't you say there was a witch before? Even after she passed away, our master started to go to sea frequently and work harder, and he seemed to be tired and thin."

"Really..." Lingzi couldn't help thinking of Zuo Zhi's jealousy.So, perhaps not seeing is the best option.

The rest of the way was to go through the yard, and Lingzi asked the maid to go first, saying that she could go out by herself.After the maid left, she slowly moved towards the gate. Nothing seemed to have changed in the yard. She habitually raised her head and looked at the window of the room where she was originally here.I don't know if it was because of her eyesight, but she seemed to see a figure flashing by, and when she looked closely, there was nothing there.She laughed secretly to scare herself, and accidentally saw the moon in the sky, slightly reddened, more dense than usual, she felt a little uneasy, the moon gave people a very bad feeling.Thinking of this, she quickened her pace and left Sakamoto's house.

The maid who saw off the guests chatted with the other servants as usual during the break: "It's really strange that you say that our master is clearly at home, and let us say that he is not."

"Maybe I'm too tired and don't want to see guests! Don't talk about that, hurry up and work."

The master they were talking about was sitting by the window of a room on the second floor.Suddenly, a familiar figure caught his attention, and he stared at it closely. That face was one of her thousands.He remembers it clearly.He wondered what she had come to do.From the direction she came from, it can be seen that she should have just come out of the doctor.When did it come?The person he was looking at seemed to feel his gaze, and looked back at the window.He ran away.I had already made up my mind unilaterally not to see each other again.It would be nice to see her again, even if it wasn't her real face, even if it was just by chance.After a while, I looked out the window again, and the figure had disappeared without a trace.

As soon as she left the gate of Sakamoto Mansion, she quickly removed the makeup on her face.On the way back, the feeling of uneasiness became more and more obvious.Ayazuki couldn't help quickening her pace.Their banquet should have ended long ago, I don't know if they can see Hirasuke and Saito.She thought her uneasy feeling came from regret not being able to say goodbye to them properly.

The more anxious you are, the more trouble you have.An old man came out from nowhere on the side of the road, walking tremblingly in the distance in front of Lingzi, as her pace quickened, the distance between her and the old man got closer and closer.Seeing that he was about to surpass the old man, he fell down.Lingzi couldn't sit idly by, she didn't think about why there was an old man walking alone on the empty street at night.It is rare for a woman like her to walk around at night.

She walked up to the old man and tried to help the trembling old man.The old man gave her a grateful look, and held her arm so tightly that it hurt even a little.But what is even more strange is the inexplicable words he said: "My child, look at this moon, it is really scary! I have lived for so long, and I have never seen such a moon. It is so strange, so strange!"

"Old man, are you okay? Is there any discomfort?" She asked cryptically, the old man must have broken his head!

"Let's go. I've got what I want." The old man suddenly relaxed his grip, ignored Ling Zi's puzzled expression, and left on his own.

"Strange..." If it was normal, Ling Zi would have to chase after him to ask what the old man meant.But today she was really not in the mood, she looked up at the moon that the old man said just now, it was redder than before.

After walking a long distance, she realized that she had been cheated by the old man just now.The bag at the waist is gone!No wonder he said "I've got what I wanted." But would a common thief say such a conspicuous thing?These are not important, the kit is not an ordinary thing!The old man must have stolen it as a purse.But he couldn't get anything out of it, for Lingzi, it was quite important.She suddenly panicked.Want to go back to him?Can you find it?It's been so long!She blamed herself for being too careless.When she was complaining that she was too careless, she saw an abnormal situation in the distance, and completely forgot about the kit.

My whole body was trembling and I couldn't restrain myself.He rubbed his eyes, and at the same time reconfirmed the map in his mind, and then told himself, yes, it is the location of the village.The village is on fire!
