Zhang Heng and Okita both looked badly injured, but in fact there was nothing serious.

Zhang Heng was basically able to move freely after lying in bed for three days, and after another two weeks, his physical and mental state returned to the peak, I have to say that the battle with Hanjiro Nakamura brought him greater gains than when he challenged the dojos before, Zhang Heng was also trying to digest and absorb these experiences during this time.

A small boss like this that can add a lot of experience points is rare even in the era of the end of the Bakuma, but there is another one by Zhang Heng's side.

After waiting for another week, Zhang Heng estimated that the general secretary of Okita should have almost recovered, so he went to the latter to compete with the knife according to the agreement.

However, there was no one in Okita's residence, Zhang Heng inquired and found out that after the garden incident, Isamu Kondo gave Okita a long vacation to let him rest, but the latter did not lie in bed honestly, he always went out early in the morning every day, and came back after sunset, and no one knew where he went.

Zhang Heng was idle anyway, so he didn't wait here stupidly, but planned to try his luck to see if he could meet Okita General Secretary outside.

He asked a few people who lived with Okita where Okita often went, but he couldn't see Okita Soji after a circle, so Zhang Heng thought about it, and came to the garden, where the two met that night.

Zhang Heng remembered that there seemed to be a tea stall on the right, and sure enough, he found Okita General Division there.

Zhang Heng didn't know how long he had been sitting here, he just looked at the house across the street stupidly, but the door was always closed.

"Let's have a pot of tea." Zhang Heng said to the boss, and then sat down next to the general secretary of Okita.

Okita barely smiled, trying to say something, but his lips moved, and he still couldn't say it.

"Have you been here lately?" Zhang Hengdao.

Okita nodded, and finally reluctantly withdrew his gaze from the opposite door, lowered his head, and looked at the plate of rice cakes in front of him that had been cold and had not moved.

"There's no way you two are going to be together." Zhang Heng originally wanted to persuade Okita slowly, but seeing his appearance, he was straightforward.

"I know," Okita's eyes darkened, "I didn't expect to be forgiven by her, I just wanted to come here and look at her from afar, just one more time." ”

"Holding on to a fruitless relationship will only add to the troubles. You still have a long way to go in life, and you will meet ...... in the future" Zhang Heng paused when he said this, he almost forgot that the historical Okita General Priest passed away in May next year, in other words, this hearty and honest teenager in front of him actually only has about a year to live.

So this relationship is likely to be the last relationship in his life.

Okita coughed twice, "Deputy Director Hijikata told me the same thing, but ...... It's different," the boy said stubbornly, "every relationship is different, and even if I meet someone I like in the future, she can't completely replace Miss Sayo's place in my heart." ”

The words blurted out by Soji Okita also touched a certain place in Zhang Heng's heart, making the latter fall into silence.

At this time, the boss brought the tea, and Okita seemed to realize his willfulness, and said a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, Kondo-sensei has also said that I have been many times, I am too emotional." ”

"There's nothing wrong with being emotional, if it weren't for your emotionality, I would have had to find a way to escape that night." Zhang Heng said, pouring tea for the general secretary of Okita and himself, "I heard that your director gave you a holiday?" ”

Okita took the tea and thanked him, and then said, "Well, I killed Takasugi Shinsaku, but it is said that the current situation is a little different, and the people above are considering cooperating with those guys from the Downfall Sect, so this matter has not been publicized to the public, and the director said that my credit will be recorded first and then calculated, but I don't really care about any credit or not, so I asked him for a long vacation." ”

Then Okita seemed to remember something, and said, "Oh yes, you're here to compare knives with me, it just so happens that I'm free now, where are we going, Koyama Dojo?" ”

"No need." Zhang Heng was indeed unexpected, "What I want to fight is the number one master of the Shinsengumi, a man known as the Heavenly Sword of the End of the Shogunate, not a sad person who is trapped in love and disheartened, you in this state have no value for me at all." ”

"I'm sorry," said Okita apologetically, "I really don't have any thoughts of using a knife right now. ”

"When you get back in shape, come to the mountain dojo to find me." Zhang Heng drank the tea, got up, and left ten copper coins on the table.

"Okay, I won't miss the appointment again." Okita said seriously.

…………

However, Zhang Heng still underestimated the impact of this incident on Okita, and it is said that because he was afraid of retribution after the Shinsengumi, the owner of the house promised his daughter to a family in his hometown not long after, and Okita Soji learned the news three days later, and by that time Saya had already left Kyoto.

That day, Okita sat in front of the small tea stall from morning to evening, and when the boss came home from work, he didn't dare to take back the stool he was sitting on, until the end of the month, Okita was still staring at his bloodshot eyes, and he refused to get up and leave.

Another month passed, Zhang Heng heard the news that Okita was seriously ill, and when he went to visit again, Okita lost a lot of weight, and in some places there were even skin and bones left, and his cough seemed to be worse, and the whole person was still having a low-grade fever, Zhang Heng saw him when he was sitting in the yard, looking at an orchid in the corner.

Zhang Heng walked into the courtyard and Okita didn't notice anything.

This is almost impossible for a top player.

Zhang Heng sighed secretly in his heart, he could see that Okita's body was deteriorating rapidly, Okita himself had tuberculosis, coupled with the stimulation of emotional injury, it may even be shorter than in history,

But at this time, his spirit seemed to be quite good, and when Zhang Heng put down the pork in his hand, Okita finally noticed him and said, "You are a rare guest here." ”

"I happened to have something going on nearby, and I thought of you coming over."

"Are you still challenging the dojo in Kyoto? Mr. Abe is also a weirdo. Soji Okita said with a smile, "Legends about you are now spreading throughout the streets of Kyoto, and I heard that because of you, Koyama Dojo is now famous and has many disciples. ”
