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

Chapter 759
In another courtyard, four people sat around a small square table to have dinner.

Yan Sanhe suddenly put down the bowls and chopsticks.

"I'm not going to eat. I'm going to the study to read something."

"Miss Yan?"

"Don't scream, let her go." Li Buyan sat down with the glutinous rice balls.

After Lan Chuan finished chewing the food in his mouth, he murmured, "Miss Yan seems to have something on her mind."

"You're worried!"

Li Buyan picked up a piece of mutton with chopsticks and put it into Lanchuan's bowl.

Even if Yan Sanhe is no longer a biological child of the Zheng family, they have lived together for a few years and their relationship is extraordinary.

Now that the wall of the Zheng family has collapsed for no apparent reason, there is no time to think about eating.

"Yeah, Third Master and Little Master Pei are here."

Tang Yuan’s sharp eyes asked: “Have you had dinner?”

"I didn't even eat lunch."

Xie Zhifei glanced at the half-left bowl, "Where's Miss Yan?"

"Miss Yan is going to the study. I will buy two pairs of chopsticks for Third Master and Little Master Pei."

Xie Zhifei turned around and went to the study, "Put the food in the study."

Pei Xiao glanced at Li Buyan uncontrollably, remained silent for a moment, and then followed him.

"Little Master Pei, he seems to have something on his mind."

Lan Chuan muttered in a low voice: "I have never seen him come to our place without saying a word!"

"Eat your meal."

The glutinous rice balls were rewarded with hairy chestnuts, and his eyes secretly glanced at Li Buyan.

Li Buyan shook his head and curled his lips into a smile.

……

in the study.

Yan Sanhe seemed to have expected them to come.

"Everyone, take a seat, I've already made tea."

Xie Zhifei walked to the desk and looked down at the book in Yan Sanhe's hand. Sure enough, he had expected that this girl was reading the Zheng family's case files.

At this time, Li Buyan came in carrying a food box.

Pei Xiao was already leaning on the bamboo couch. When he saw her coming in, he jumped up as if there were nails in his butt.

He rushed over and snatched the food box from Li Buyan's hand.

Not to mention Li Buyan was startled by him, even Yan Sanhe and Xie Zhifei who were far away were startled.

Pei Xiao placed the contents of the food box on the small table one by one, and said angrily to Xie Zhifei: "Why don't you hurry up and eat? Do you want to feed me?"

Xie Zhifei did not argue with the sad man, but turned to Yan Sanhe and explained, "This kid hasn't eaten enough water or rice since morning."

Yan Sanhe closed the case file, "Then you should eat first, and then listen to me after eating."

"You say what's yours, and we'll eat what's ours."

Yan Sanhe shook his head: "As soon as I tell you, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it."

Xie Zhifei had already picked up the chopsticks, but after hearing what she said, he put them down again.

"Speak first, then eat."

"Sure?"

"Sure!"

"As I approached Zheng's house today, I had a feeling of being close to the coffin. It was cold and eerie. I had never felt this way when I passed by before."

Ba Da——

Pei Xiao shook his hand and dropped one of his chopsticks on the ground, "What, what do you mean by this?"

Yan Sanhe spoke very slowly: "The inner demon is here again, I can feel it."

“Whose coffin cracked?”

Xie Zhifei's heart skipped a beat: "Is it the late emperor's or whose?"

Ba Da——

The other chopstick also fell to the ground. Pei Xiao looked at Xie Zhifei with fear on his face, "If anyone listens to this, your Xie family will punish the Nine Clan!"

Xie Zhifei ignored it at all and just looked at Yan Sanhe blankly.

"It might be the old emperor's, or it might be someone else. There's another possibility..."

Yan Sanhe paused for a moment, "This possibility is a bit mysterious. Don't you think the collapse of the Zheng family wall is like a coffin cracking?"

The blood all over Xie Zhifei's body was running wildly.

Therefore, it is very possible that the 180 lives of the Zheng family are at work?
Are they going to deliberately uncover the truth that is hidden behind high walls and will never see the light of day again?
Xie Zhifei glanced at the food on the waiter table and couldn't even smile bitterly.Yan Sanhe guessed it, and it turned out that he couldn't eat anymore.

……

Those who can't eat include Buliu.

At this moment, he was squatting in front of the stable, gently rubbing an old horse with his big hands.

This horse was the old general's former war horse, and it followed the old general in many battles.

In the eighth year of Yonghe's reign, the old general died in battle. The horse surrounded the old general's body and kept neighing until his voice became hoarse.

After carrying the old general's body back, it refused to eat or drink, as if it wanted to accompany its owner to the west.

Beasts, sometimes they are more affectionate than humans.

He stayed with the horse and talked all night, talking about the old general's past and the kindness he had given him in saving his life... until he burst into tears.

After dawn, the beast got up from the ground with a few whimpers, ate grass and drank water, and from then on recognized him as its master.

He couldn't bear to take it to the battlefield again, so he built a stable for it and raised it personally.

Later, when the official became bigger and had more soldiers, he didn't have much time, so he asked his horse-raising old man, Lao Wentou, to take care of him.

But whenever he had time, he would come and talk to it and take it for a few laps.

When he was tired from running, he found a dense forest to rest. He talked about the troubles he had encountered recently, and he listened quietly.

It's been ten years.

He can say less and less. As Ma gets older, so does he.

Bu Liu turned around, "What did the veterinary officer say?"

Lao Wen Tou said: "Back to the general, the veterinary officer said that the King of Hell told people to die at the third watch and would not wait until the fifth watch. The same goes for horses. It's time."

Bu Liu felt a twinge in his heart.

I originally planned to wait until he was free and take this beast to meet the Third Master so that the Third Master could see what his grandfather's old mount looked like.

"Old thing."

Bu Liu patted it gently and complained: "I won't stay with me for a few more years."

Ma whimpered softly and looked at Bu Liu, as if he was reluctant to leave, but also as if he was saying goodbye.

After looking at it for a long time, two tears slowly flowed out of its eyes, and its eyelids closed little by little.

"Old thing, you old thing."

Bu Liu cursed and put his face against the horse's head, closing his eyes hard.

One man and one horse were motionless.

After a long time, Bu Liu jumped up and took a deep breath, "Here, bring the shovel."

"General, are you going to bury it here?"

"Bury it here, I will bury it myself!"

……

It was already midnight after the burial, and Bu Liu felt uncomfortable. He went back to the camp, drank a pot of wine, and fell asleep.

It was still dark when someone shook him awake. When he opened his eyes, he saw that it was Lao Wen Tou, the horse breeder.

"what's up?"

"General, something bad is going on. The horse, the horse...is sick."

Bu Liu hadn't woken up yet and said in a daze, "Something is wrong with the horse."

"The war horses in our military camp."

"If you are sick, ask the veterinary officer to treat you."

Bu Liu covered his eyes with his hands and turned over, "What's the use of telling me."

Lao Wen Tou pulled his arm, extremely anxious: "General, they are all sick, not one of them can get up!"

Bu Liu sat up awkwardly, "Are you all sick?"

"I looked at them last night. They were all fine. But this morning, they were all lying down."

Lao Wentou said with a sad face: "Why are you all lying down?"

Bu Liuyi lifted up the quilt, didn't even bother to put on his shoes, and rushed out barefoot.

He rushed to the row of stables and staggered a few steps before he could stand still. When he looked up, his whole heart sank.

In the stable, none of the horses were standing. They were lying on the ground in a mess, looking miserable.

How is this going?

Are you all sick?
The war was about to begin, and something happened to the war horses in the military camp. It was a serious matter. When he was asked to take responsibility, he couldn't bear to go up and down.

Bu Liu yelled: "Come on, come on, call for the veterinary officer, hurry up!"
