CHAPTER XXXII
In the past few days, Chen Xie's injuries have been very good, and the political affairs have been handled very smoothly, although the wind is light on the surface every day, he is always smiling in secret, and sometimes he will laugh with me, he asked people to send me a lot of jewelry, I refused a few times, he didn't care, and let people change the pattern to make me a lot of clothes, in his spare time he painted my portrait one by one, and he was never tired of it.

What bothered me the most was that no matter how good he was to me, he would not allow me to step out of the courtyard, and every day the gate of the courtyard was heavily guarded, and when I was in the courtyard, the two maids who served me always followed me inch by inch, and whenever I approached the courtyard gate, they always stopped me.
After another half a month, Chen Xie has been completely cured, King Yan issued an edict to ask him to return to the court, the fourth day after receiving the edict, we set off back to Beijing, I still resumed my men's dress, sitting in Chen Xie's carriage.
I don't think Chen Pu will let Chen Xieping return to Jicheng safely, so from the moment I left, I have been vigilant, and in the package I packed for myself, except for a few changes of men's clothes, it was some gold and silver jewelry, and I put the package within my reach. Sure enough, something happened the day after leaving Youzhou City, this night we set up camp by a stream, Chen Xie has not allowed me to meet with outsiders, so I have been staying in the camp, in front of the camp is a clearing in the middle of the bonfire, a group of people are eating meat and drinking wine around the fire, not far away are patrolling soldiers, I looked out from the gap in the curtain, Chen Xie sat in the crowd, was happily talking about something. In the distance, there was a crow's sharp cry, I frowned, a bad premonition rose in my heart, I turned around and tied the prepared package to my body, thought about it and took a few pieces of meat patties left over from the evening and wrapped them in my arms, after tidying up, I quietly went out of the camp, hid in the shadows and slowly moved outside the camp, just as I walked out of the short distance, I heard the sound of swords clashing from the periphery of the camp, and the sound of soldiers shouting for alarm, I immediately quickened my pace and rushed to the place where the sound was smallAt last I stumbled out of the camp, and in front of me was a forest, and I did not dare to move around rashly, so I crept into the woods, and I did not dare to go deep for fear of encountering villains or wild beasts, so I picked a stout and dense tree nearby, and climbed up in two strokes. I have such a good body, thanks to my father's doting on me, since I was a child, he took me as a boy to raise me, he never used rules to restrain me, I was used to lawlessness, climbing walls and trees and the like is a piece of cake for me, I haven't dug up the bird's nest in the palace of the Han Dynasty, and I have lost it, and today it has become my means of escape.
I picked a thick branch and sat down, listening to the movements around me. In the midst of the fighting, there was a faint mournful shout "Ami...... Ami ...... "I close my eyes and it's Chen Xie......
The fighting lasted for a long time, until the sky was light, everything was settled, the surroundings were quiet, I did not dare to show up immediately, still hid in the tree, took out a piece of meatloaf from my arms and ate it slowly, after a while, a team of officers and soldiers walked into the woods, searched around, I held my breath, motionless on the tree, this group of people searched for a long time and finally returned in vain, I stayed in the tree until it was dark before coming down from the tree.
I slowly walked back to the place where I camped last night, the camp was a mess, empty, I didn't dare to stay for a long time, through the camp, along the way to Youzhou, the reason why I went to Youzhou, because it was relatively safe there, I would not go to Jicheng, Chen Xie will definitely arrange someone to wait for me on the way back to South Korea, and I found that my menstrual period was delayed for half a month, I don't know if I am pregnant, I dare not travel long distances before it is clear.
I walked all night before stopping, there was a village in front of me, I didn't dare to stay in the village or town for a long time, I bought some food and water slurry, found a land temple, hid in the temple and slept for a while, woke up so-so and ate something, and then hurried.
I tried to avoid people along the way, hid and walked for two days, and finally arrived in Youzhou City, I didn't enter the city, turned around and walked to the Jokhang Temple outside the city, there is a small house outside the back door of the Jokhang Temple, this is the property of the temple, has been rented to outsiders to live, I inquired door to door, and finally found the jade butterfly that has lived here for more than ten days, when I left the jade butterfly in the post house, I secretly told her, when she was injured, she came here to wait for me, As for why I know this place, I owe it to the book I have read, "Geography of the Three Kingdoms", from the book I know that there is a Jokhang Temple outside Youzhou City, and most of the temples will have real estate rentals around it. When Jade Butterfly saw me, she was so excited that tears fell from her eyes. She has been hiding here for more than ten days in the past two days, and her heart has long been panicked, but now she finally has the backbone, and she only knows how to giggle happily, and she is not good at doing things, I told her to boil the water, take a bath happily, and go to bed and sleep.
After waking up, I changed my clothes and took Yudie to walk around, the people who live here are not long-term residents, most of them are people who come from other places to make incense, I and Yudie two women live here is not very safe, especially I know my appearance, easy to covet, so I made up my mind to find a safer place.
The next day, I took Yudie into Youzhou City to buy a small house, inquired around about the address of the tooth shop, paid a commission, a Chinese took us around to look at the house, and looked at it for two days, I was optimistic about a small house near the south gate, this house is in a deep alley, there are a total of five families, two are the masters of the nearby academy, one is a couple who do snack business, and one is said to be the grandfather. The house I fancy is at the end of the alley, with three main rooms, two side rooms, and a stove room. There is a well in the middle of the yard, and there is a small vegetable field next to it, and the original head of the household married his daughter-in-law a few years ago, so the house has just been renovated, and he can move in and live in. I looked very satisfied, so I happily paid the money and followed the Chinese to the yamen to apply for the house deed, cleaned it briefly, and moved in.
