"Are you from another race?"

Su Fangli turned to look at him with sharp eyes, and at the same time reached for the dagger in her bag. Then she remembered that her dagger had been taken away by Shen Wei'an.

She hid her hand in her bag, holding her originally slightly blunt dagger, and stared coldly at the man in front of her.

In the slightly dim cell at this moment, Ji Lichuan sat leisurely, his head against the wall and looked at her.

The lines are clear and the neck is exposed without any cover.

Realizing Su Fangli's intention, Ji Lichuan couldn't help but touch his neck.

He chuckled: "Why is it so?"

"Foreigners killed many of my fellow villagers." Thinking of what Aunt Fang had said before, Su Fangli's expression became even colder.

This man obviously knows some martial arts and is taller than her. How can she kill him with her own hands?

"How could that be?" Ji Lichuan asked in surprise, "We don't kill people."

He stood up slowly and forced Su Fangli back step by step until they both reached the wall.

"Are you from Fangjia Village?" Ji Lichuan asked.

He supported himself against the wall with one hand and lowered his eyes to look at the expression on Su Fangli's face.

The skin is so tender and the transparent hair is clearly visible. How did it grow?

And how come the eyelashes are so black and dense?

Ji Lichuan originally wanted to explain properly to avoid being misunderstood again. But after getting closer, why couldn't he help but look at her face?

It was as if something was catching his eyes.

Su Fangli suddenly raised her head, a sweet smile in her eyes, and said, "Yes."

"Hey, what are you doing?" Ji Lichuan remained calm and held down her hand as she was about to pull it out of the bag.

Seriously, "Do you want to meet your fellow villagers?"

Su Fangli was stunned: "What did you say?"

Seeing that the man's expression didn't seem like he was joking, she asked again, "Where are they?"

Ji Lichuan tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said, "I can take you there, but now is not the time."

"Where are you going?" a voice suddenly broke in.

Footsteps were heard as several jailers approached, including Cen Xiaying, who had brought Su Fangli in.

One of them saw Su Fangli, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes. He glanced from top to bottom, and after seeing the bags in the hands of the two people, he deliberately asked:

"Why didn't they even search the bag? If there was something harmful in there, who would be held responsible?"

This person should be the leader of the jailers. As soon as he finished speaking, two jailers came over to grab the bag.

Su Fangli naturally wouldn't give it to them.

During the struggle, the dagger in the bag fell to the ground.

"Look, what did I say? She doesn't want to reform herself in prison, but she's actually hiding a weapon. Bring her out!"

Su Fangli was escorted out of the cell by the jailer.

The head jailer nodded with satisfaction, sat on the chair, and ordered: "Look, what's inside, search it carefully for me." As he said this, he admired the expression on Su Fangli's face.

The shoulder bag is not big, but it can hold a lot of things.

The jailer tore it open and poured it out. Many small objects and the tarot chopsticks used by Su Fangli for divination fell out and scattered all over the table.

"What's this?" The head jailer picked up the chopstick holder, shook it, and shook his head. "This wood is top quality. It's a waste to use it for chopsticks."

The jailer next to him came over, took a look, and pointed to a spot on top and said, "There's a mark on it."

The head jailer observed it carefully, his expression serious: "It looks familiar. It is somewhat similar to the fortune sticks in the temple."

After hearing this, all the jailers present nodded repeatedly.

"What's this for?" asked the head jailer.

"Divination."

Hearing this, the few people gathered together and whispered.

Thanks to the national master Taiweizi, fortune tellers now have a very high status, and no one dares to offend a fortune teller with some ability.

After discussing for a long time, they decided to test Su Fangli's strength first.

"That's perfect, sir, please help us calculate it." said a jailer.

Su Fangli nodded his chin: "What do you want to calculate?"

"What are you good at, sir?"

"Fortune."

Su Fangli regained her home rhythm and sat down on a chair brought by someone with considerable momentum. "Who goes first?"

Several jailers looked at each other.

"I'll do it." said the head jailer, and the two men sat opposite each other.

Su Fangli picked out the chopsticks, arranged them carefully and put them back into the wooden tube.

"Then consider it your fortune for today. Take three."

-Ten of Swords

-"demon"

- Five of Coins

-Ten of Swords, may represent serious harm and disaster.

-The devil mostly symbolizes obsession and desire that is difficult to extricate oneself from.

- Five of Coins, corresponding to the previous two cards, should represent financial loss and bad luck in gambling.

These three cards together represent a hexagram that indicates financial loss or even bloody disaster due to the desire for money.

Su Fangli pondered in silence.

"What's going on?" The man saw Su Fangli's face was not good, and his heart was beating fast. "Is there any bad omen?"

"You might have brought disaster upon yourself today because of gambling or betting." Su Fangli asked, "Do you usually go to the casino?"

The man immediately shook his head: "I never gamble."

Others echoed, "Yeah, we haven't seen him go there."

"Since you're not going, that's just fine." Su Fangli nodded.

Unexpectedly, the man became even more nervous: "Is there any solution to this fate?"

"Why do you need to solve it? Since you don't go to the casino, it won't have any impact." Su Fangli said.

"Are you kidding me? You said there was no impact just because the calculations didn't match." The man was obviously not satisfied with the result.

Su Fangli looked at his horoscope.

Sun in Sagittarius in the 5th house is naturally adventurous and speculative. Moon in Gemini makes one frivolous and easily provoked. Venus in Scorpio, squaring Neptune, makes this type of person love the dream of getting rich overnight and is extremely greedy.

Mars in Aries and Uranus in the eighth house mean that people do not think deeply about things and will invest their entire fortune in a gamble when they are hot-blooded.

Su Fangli would definitely not believe someone like that who never gambles, but she was only fortune-telling and wouldn't try to change someone else's fate, so she said, "If you believe it, then it's there. Remember not to gamble today."

After this divination, it was obvious that the other people's enthusiasm for Su Fangli's divination cooled down.

Only Cen Xiaying came over with interest, "Miss, please help me calculate it."

"Can it be considered luck?"

Cen Xiaying shook her head: "Let's call it fate."

Sukata Rinari prepared the chopsticks and handed them to him.

"Draw one."

- "Hermit."

-Hermit, representing solitude and loneliness, when applied to marriage, it means that this kind of person will not easily find a partner.

"You should have been single all along. Judging from the results, there won't be any progress in the near future." Su Fangli said.

She paused, glanced at the top of his head, and seemed to be about to say something.

"Just say whatever you want to say," Cen Xiaying urged.

Jupiter transits to the fifth house, which rules children, which means...

Su Fangli: "You are going to have a baby soon."

"What?" Cen Xiaying was surprised.

The jailer beside him clapped his legs and jokingly said, "Captain Cen is also thinking of getting a wife. How rare! It doesn't matter if he doesn't have a romantic partner, as long as he has a son."

Cen Xiaying looked deeply at the lot she drew, and her eyes met Su Fangli, as if saying: Are you kidding me?

"Come on, it's getting late, let's go. Humph, I want to see if your divination is accurate." The head jailer stood up unhappily and left the prison with his men.

Ji Lichuan was watching from the side the whole time and said worriedly, "It should be fine, don't worry."

Although he had lived with his master since he was a child and had seen his master tell fortunes, he himself did not understand anything at all.

I just felt that Su Fangli looked completely different when he was fortune-telling than usual.

After sending those people away, Su Fangli quietly packed her bag.

Everything in her bag has its own purpose, and none of it can be missing.

As for the divinations she had just read, she was not worried at all.

If everything goes well, we should be able to go out in the next two days.

The status of fortune tellers in this world is not low. If she wants to return to the modern era, she may have to start from this aspect.

-

After the sun sets, the temperature in the cell drops rapidly.

Su Fangli huddled in the corner, barely holding her bag to keep warm, and forced herself to fall asleep. Once she fell asleep, she no longer felt cold.

"Girl, this clothes is for you to cover yourself." Ji Lichuan handed over his outer robe.

"No need." Su Fangli refused without thinking.

After being rejected, Ji Lichuan didn't think much of it. Instead, he said something to Su Fangli and turned over to sleep.

Su Fangli couldn't sleep, so she sat up and told herself her fortune for the next day.

-Tomorrow's fortune.

-"moon"

The moon represents fog, illusions, and subconscious fears. For Su Fangli now, her biggest worry is how to return to the modern era.

She pondered for a moment and drew another one.

-"grim Reaper"

Death represents the end and the transformation that comes with it.

Looking at these two cards together, it seems that a certain fog about her is about to undergo a transformation.

What exactly will it be?

Su Fanglitou had counted too many times today, and she felt a little confused. She lay down with her clothes on, hugged the bag as a pillow, and fell into a deep sleep.

After her breathing became even, Ji Lichuan, who seemed to have slept for a long time, sat up.

He leaned closer.

The prison was even colder than before, and the yin energy seemed to be able to penetrate directly into the bone marrow and lungs.

Su Fangli's palm-sized face had turned even paler from the cold, and the tip of her nose was red. She slept restlessly, her delicate brows slightly furrowed.

Perhaps because the temperature was too low and breathing was difficult, her pink lips slightly parted to breathe. If you were closer, you might even be able to smell the sweet scent.

Ji Lichuan took off his outer robe and carefully covered her with it. He used all his strength to prevent himself from getting any closer.

He was not sleepy and saw the chopsticks scattered on the ground. Ji Lichuan naturally couldn't understand them, but he wrote down the pattern on them.

When I get back, I will ask my master what these mean.

He leaned against the wall, watching her peaceful sleeping face.

I had been planning to find a place to recuperate, but I hadn't expected to meet a woman like this. Could this be what Master meant by "marriage is destined"?

He refused to learn divination, and his master would sigh at the thought. But if he brought back a wife who could tell fortunes, his master would have nothing to say, right?

Suddenly, hurried footsteps were heard and torches were suddenly lit in the cell.

Su Fangli woke up from her dream.

She thought back to the strange dream she had just had.

It’s strange, why can I smell the faint fragrance of orchid?

Could it be Ji Lichuan?

Thinking of this, Su Fangli turned around and saw that he had also just been woken up, sitting up with hazy eyes. He was covered with his outer robe and looked normal.

Just in case, Su Fangli put on her bag and looked at the person coming vigilantly.

Several jailers came to the door of Su Fangli's cell, confirmed that it was her, and opened the door.

"Take her away."
