The short-lived ghost of the Xie family has lived a long life

Chapter 138 Layout
The man had his eyes closed, his complexion was sallow, and he was so thin that his cheekbones protruded.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, he opened his eyes and closed them weakly when he saw it was Zhou Ye.

Zhou Ye put the medicine aside and sat on the edge of the bed, "Get up and drink the medicine."

The man remained motionless, pretending not to hear.

"I've tasted it, and it's not bitter."

Zhou Ye took out a small paper bag from his arms and said, "This is the detoxification that the trustee brought from over there. After you drink the medicine, you can taste it to see if it has the same taste."

"Aye!"

The man weakly called Zhou Ye's nickname, "I can't taste it anymore."

"How could it be? You still find the medicine bitter every day."

"It's because the medicine is bitter, so everything you eat is bitter."

The man opened his eyes and looked at Zhou Ye for a while.

"Stop holding me back. You have held me back for three full years. That's long enough."

"After you drink this bowl of medicine, I will let you go and I won't force you again." Zhou Ye laughed.

The man seemed unable to believe it and looked at Zhou Ye blankly.

"After drinking the medicine, I have something to tell you."

Zhou Ye put his hand under the man's ribs and gently lifted him up, "That's a good thing."

The man sighed: "Ah Ye, you are always like this."

"Always what?"

"Trick me."

Zhou Ye picked up the bowl, scooped out a spoonful, blew on it, and brought it to his mouth: "It's really a good thing. Please believe me again."

The man said he didn't want to drink, but when the spoon was handed to him, he drank it obediently.

After finishing the bowl of medicine, Zhou Ye brought him water to rinse his mouth, and then helped him straighten the collar of his clothes.

Finally, he picked up a piece of pai candy from the small paper bag, bit half of it himself, and put the remaining half into his mouth.

"Sweet?"

The man took a few sips and nodded.

Zhou Ye pulled up the quilt for him and said softly: "We will have guests coming to our house later. They are guests from the capital. I told you."

The man's eyes suddenly widened.

Zhou Ye looked at him and smiled softly.

"I'm not lying to you, I really won't force you to take medicine in the future."

……

When the carriage set off from the government office, it suddenly rained.

The rain came and went quickly.

Pei Xiao put down the car curtain and said worriedly: "I wonder where Xie Shishi will be now, and whether the old monk Changqing has reached an agreement."

No one cares about him.

Yan Sanhe leaned against the wall of the carriage, frowning slightly, wondering what he was thinking.

Li Buyan was still wiping her soft sword, as gently as he was wiping the tears from the corners of his lover's eyes.

Huang Qi, who was driving outside, was getting more and more upset.

The magistrate of a prefecture is such a majestic magistrate. Why is this road going further and further?

It's like being in the wilderness.

Huang Qi didn't know that Zhu Qing on the other road was also wondering about this question.

"Master, why is Daming Mountain so remote?"

Xie Zhifei, who was riding on the horse, said nothing and his face was very solemn.

What he was worried about was not the issue of whether he was right or wrong, but whether something had happened on Yan Sanhe's end and whether he could meet him smoothly.
"Boost!"

"Yes!"

……

Night fell.

Xie Zhifei turned over and dismounted at the entrance of the alley.

Deep in the alley, two lone lanterns can be seen in the distance, which are the lanterns hanging at the door of Zhou's mansion; further up in the field of vision, there is the imposing Daming Mountain.

The house is built at the foot of the mountain?

Xie Zhifei's heart skipped a beat.
If you didn't know that Zhou was also one of the men in black, he, Mr. Xie, would praise him: What a secluded mountain residence.

But at this moment, he just wanted to say: This person is very thoughtful and has already prepared a way out.

As soon as the man burrowed into the mountain, the Jin Yiwei, who was best at hunting down criminals, arrived, and there was nothing he could do for a while.Xie Zhifei pinched the bridge of his nose and tried to suppress the anxiety in his heart. At this moment, he heard Zhu Qing happily say: "Look, sir, the carriage is coming."

Xie Zhifei's heart, which had been hanging all the way, finally calmed down.

He threw the reins into Zhu Qing's hand, strode over, and jumped onto the car with a slight jump.

In the car, Pei Xiao also dropped a stone and asked without time, "How is it?"

"It's all right."

Xie Zhifei took out a signal bomb from his arms and said, "Zhitong and the others are already in ambush half a mile away. Take it as a sign of trust."

Pei Xiao: "How many people are there?"

Xie Zhifei: "I showed off my father and promised to give the temple ten more places every year. Changqing sent all the monks here."

"Good job!"

Pei Xiao clapped his hands excitedly, "Yan Sanhe, do you have any other advice?"

Yan Sanhe opened his eyes, "Xie Zhifei, have you asked the Bodhisattva for me?"

Xie Zhifei didn't expect that she would ask this, so he was stunned for a moment before saying, "Please!"

"What did the Bodhisattva say?"

"The Bodhisattva said that you will die a good death."

"Then I'm speechless."

Yan San closed his lips and smiled softly.

This smile, like the night wind, comes very slowly and disappears very quickly.

……

knock; knock;

wait;

Door open.

Zhou Ye came out wearing a gray gown, with an expressionless expression on his face.

"It's a sin to trouble Mr. Zhou to open the door himself."

Pei Xiao hugged his fists and smiled more sincerely than when he saw his own mother, "Excuse me."

Zhou Ye glanced at the six people one by one and made a gesture of invitation.

"In a secluded room and a shabby hall, Mr. Pei, please come inside."

Pei Xiao walked up the steps with his hands behind his back, and when he crossed the threshold with one foot, he quickly glanced into the house.

The yard was dark, with shadows from the trees. There wasn't even a lamp, and there was a faint medicinal smell in the air.

The smell of this medicine is very familiar, as if I have smelled it somewhere.

Pei Xiao sniffed, and his heart suddenly sank.

If he heard it correctly, this should be the rejuvenation pill passed down from the Pei family's ancestors, because there is a special herb in it called rejuvenation grass.

Why is the Resurrection Pill here?

Is it possible that this person named Zhou has also been to their Baiyao Hall?

Pei Xiao glanced at Zhou Ye in front of him, then turned to look at Yan Sanhe behind him, and pressed down desperately with fear.

Little did he know that Yan Sanhe was also frightened at this moment.

The yard was dark and there was no one around.

This suddenly reminded her of the scene of following Mr. Xie with an umbrella on a rainy night a few months ago.

The difference is that the lights in Xie's house were bright at that time.

Why not light a lamp?
What is hidden behind those shadowy trees?
There are people hiding in the shadows of trees - this is the conclusion reached by Li Buyan, Zhu Qing and Huang Qi.

Breathing is very shallow, it is a master, and there are more than one.

The three of them suddenly had the same idea: This trip might be dangerous!
This journey was extremely silent and suffocating.

A long corridor follows the courtyard.

At the end of the corridor, turn right and see an ordinary courtyard. Only then did you see the lit inner hall.

There were two old servants standing at the door of the inner hall. Their backs were already stooped. When they saw someone approaching, they moved aside.

Everyone followed Zhou into the courtyard.

The yard was empty, not even a blade of grass was planted, and a large water tank stood unexpectedly in the open space in the yard.

This layout...

The six people gasped.
