On April 20, before dawn, Qian Yixiu awoke. Today, she was to visit the Liang Mansion to express her thanks for their help and to say goodbye. The Little Monk had written to notify her that he and the Half Old Immortal would return to Daci Temple on the 22nd, and she planned to accompany them.
Today, Uncle Liang and Young Master Song were off duty, so she could see them once more. After this farewell, it was uncertain when they would meet again.
It was quite odd to think about it: having crossed into a feudal society, she befriended not a single woman, but several men. The Little Monk, Doctor Zhang, Uncle Liang, Young Master Song—all of them were decent people. Although she rarely saw Uncle Liang and Young Master Song more than a few times a year, at least they had met. Now, future encounters were even more doubtful.
