Guan Li was attracted by his eyes, when she walked head-on with this person, she always felt that he was staring at herself, and when she met his gaze, she felt that the eyes were like the vast sea, like the vast starry sky, unfathomable, as if she had seen through her own heart, attracting herself to want to enter that world to explore, to seek, to explore.

"Little lady, seeing that you are in a hurry, with sadness between your eyebrows, have you encountered any difficulties?" The man spoke to herself rashly, which surprised Guan Li, but because of the man's eyes, she unconsciously stopped, "How do you know?" "The girl is simple and ignorant of the world, does not know how to take precautions, and admits that he is right with a simple and curious face.

The man smiled: "That's because I can read faces, and my profession is a phase scholar." Guan Li pursed his mouth: "Xiangshi! Isn't it just a fortune teller! That's so nicely said. The man laughed and said: "Little lady, don't confuse me with those swaggering charlatans, I am a professional scholar, I am a professional scholar, I am dedicated to solving problems for people, divination, word measurement, and bone touching, can look at feng shui luck, cut off misfortune and good fortune, ask about marriage and health, can find relatives and things, drive away evil and avoid disasters..... ""Wait, what do you say? Can you find relatives and things? Can it really? When she heard Xiangshi say that she could find people and things, she seemed to see a glimmer of hope at once, because the search for these days had made her experience too much disappointment, so she asked eagerly.

Xiangshi smiled faintly and nodded, his bearing was elegant and extraordinary, which made people admire. Guan Li said pleadingly: "Not long ago, my brother suddenly lost contact, and he hasn't been home for a long time, some people say that he has left the city-state, but I don't know where to find him, if you can really help me find my brother, I'll... I just—" She stumbled, not knowing what else she could offer in exchange for what others wanted.

"So what?" Xiangshi deliberately teased her, but in fact, her situation was already clear. Guan Li said embarrassedly: "I don't have anything valuable on me now, but I will definitely be able to earn good things in the future, and I will give them all to you when the time comes, as long as you can help me find my brother, can you see it?" Her innocent appearance made Xiangshi laugh, and said indifferently: "Okay! If I really help you find your brother, you have to remember that you owe me, and don't cheat and deny it when the time comes. ”

"No, no," Guan Li hurriedly said, "I must say something, as long as you help me find my brother." "Her brother's position in her heart is irreplaceable, and he is the only relative she has in the world now.

"Okay, tell me the birthdays of you and your brother, and I'll do the math for you." "Huh? What is the Eight Characters of Birth? After Xiangshi explained to her, Guan Li said timidly: "We don't know our birthdays, only the years." Can't you count if you don't know the eight characters of your birthday? ”

Xiangshi frowned: "Not really, but the accuracy will be somewhat discounted in this way." "So what to do?" The girl's face flushed with urgency, like a freshly ripe apple. "Well, don't worry, you have a clear contour and strange bones, which are different from ordinary people, and I can count eight or nine from the face alone." "Really?" Guan Li's face was sad, he was overjoyed, stood in front of Xiangshi generously, and said eagerly: "Then help me take a look, can you really see my brother's whereabouts from my face?" ”

Xiangshi circled around Guan Li twice without hurry, then stood in front of her, looked Guan Li up and down, and then nodded secretly: "I see!" "What do you see?" Guan Li looked anxious and wanted to know the result as soon as possible. Xiangshi closed his eyes, his lips moved rapidly, as if he was reading a word, and the fingers of his left hand moved quickly, as if he was doing a very complicated calculation, Guan Li didn't dare to disturb him, so he could only wait aside.

"Your brother and sister have been dead since childhood, living on the streets, being bullied, but you don't bow your head for the ill-fated fate, the two depend on each other, struggle at the bottom of the society, do not succumb to fate and seek survival, in the process, your brother also formed a lot of grudges, and finally one day, the enemy began to take revenge, looking for someone to hunt down your brother, your brother in order not to affect you, he chose to escape from this city-state, according to the results of my calculation, he roughly went to the northeast, and has not yet settled, is still fleeing, But one thing I know for sure is that he's still alive. ”

Xiangshi said that he was clear-eyed, decent, Guan Li really believed it, and hearing the news that her brother was still alive could comfort her nervous heart a little, but thinking that when her brother was still being chased and killed by the enemy, the girl could no longer control her emotions, she thought of her brother's meticulous care and love for herself, and thought of their unfortunate fate, first sobbed, then cried, and finally cried.

The man looked at Guan Li and cried, and he didn't persuade or stop it, he only accompanied her, looking at her expressionlessly, until the crying gradually stopped, he slowly spoke: "Many people say that fate is dominated by God, then God is a villain for you, he abandoned your brothers and sisters, and let you fend for yourself in a dangerous society, your brother has brought you to support you until now, it was originally a miracle, and now in order not to affect you, he chose to lead away the enemy and die at the end of the world, just to let you live well and live strongly, If you want to take your fate and that of your brother into your own hands, I can help you. ”

When Guan Li heard his words, he burst into tears and said earnestly: "Of course, of course I want to control my own destiny, I don't want to live that kind of life of precariousness, lack of food, and bullying by others, for this I am willing to give everything I have, as long as I can exchange for my brother's peace, I will not hesitate." ”

"Okay, it's just that I'm going north recently, why don't you just come with me, I'll take you to your brother, and I'll teach you some skills, so that you can have the ability to protect yourself and survive in this troubled world."

Guan Li heard him say that he wanted to take herself out of this city full of misery for herself, and she was naturally a hundred willing, but she knew the management system of some city-states, and she didn't say that she would leave if she wanted to. "Let's go? People like us can't leave the city-state without the approval of the police department, how can you take me away? ”

The man smiled slightly: "Don't worry about this, I'll arrange it, you go back and pack your things, and I'll pick you up tomorrow." ”

The next day, Guan Li, without knowing or understanding the person, left the southern Yunnan city-state with this strange person who claimed to be a scholar and embarked on the road to find his relatives.
