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

Chapter 129 Prey
A man and a woman were eating in the same room and at the same table.

Yan Sanhe regretted it as he ate the meal.

If she had known that the atmosphere would be so awkward, she would have had to act like a young lady and follow Pei Xiao to the Guanyin Temple.

Yan Sanhe regretted it, but Xie Zhifei regretted it even more than she did.

He even came up with an incredible idea——

Over the years, the reason why I have tolerated Pei Mingting's various things is probably because he is here. I don't have to rack my brains to find topics. I can just be lazy and laugh.

After a meal, both of them had some indigestion.

Yan Sanhe put away the dishes and Xie Sanye boiled water to make tea. There was no communication between the two of them during the whole process, and they each did their own work.

There is not much work to do, it can be done in three or two strokes.

Is it over?
doing what?
Yan Sanhe is a calm person, but Mr. Xie is not!
The third master sighed helplessly in his heart.

How come I can talk endlessly to everyone, talking about everything from astronomy to geography, elegant poems and songs, and vulgar gambling houses.

To her alone...

I don’t know what to say!

After taking a sip of tea, Third Master's voice was still a little dry, "Ming Ting asked us to discuss what to do next."

"No need to discuss."

"why?"

"Because neither of us knows whether things are going well or not on their end?"

When Xie Zhifei heard what she said, his heart suddenly lifted, "Will there be any accidents?"

Yan Sanhe picked up the tea cup and sneered:
"I'm not afraid of accidents, I'm afraid of no accidents at all."

……

Is there any accident on Master Pei's side?
Have.

Chang Qing, a fat monk, was surprised that Master Pei turned against him.

Anyone who wants to eat or drink will be entertained;
If you want horses or people, you will be satisfied.

Why in the end, Master Pei still wants to investigate Guanyin Zen?

Get sick!
As the saying goes, the people do not fight with the officials, so Monk Changqing immediately asked people to ring the big bell.

Knocking nine times in a row meant everyone gathered urgently. Within a moment, the main hall was filled with bald monks.

Master Pei personally sat in charge, holding a pen in one hand and a roster in the other, checking each monk one by one.

After checking, there were twenty more monks who were not on the roster.

well.

Check again if you are not on the roster.

Behind him, Huang Qi saw six directions and listened in all directions. His eyes were like two clusters of flames. The portraits of Wu Guanyue and his son seemed to be engraved in his mind.

And the other side.

Li Buyan and Zhu Qing had already taken the opportunity to sprinkle a thin layer of lime powder on both sides of the road leading to the several courtyards from the Main Hall when Master Pei was counting the names.

Anyone who wanted to report the news would have to take a small trail at night.

In addition, a thin layer of paint was also sprinkled on the entrances of several restaurants.

After finishing at the main hall, it was getting late. The monks were all used to going to bed early. Normal people would never come out again after entering the courtyard.

Whichever courtyard found footprints heading out, there is probably something wrong and needs to be investigated intensively.

After sprinkling the lime, Li Buyan and Zhu Qing immediately split up.

Regardless of whether they are on the roster or not, they are all concentrated in the Main Hall, so it would be very suspicious if someone is just hiding in the dining room and not coming out.

The two of them must check all the rooms in Guanyin Temple one by one within these two hours...

……

Some people die from being busy, while others die from being idle.

Mr. Xie had nothing to do, so he drank tea for a long time in his room. Unable to sit still, he went to walk in the courtyard for a while.

The mind is always uncertain.

It always feels like something is going to happen.

He thought that waiting like this wouldn't work, he had to discuss it with Yan Sanhe.

When he looked up, he found that the lights in Yan Sanhe's room had been turned off at some point.

asleep?

She can still sleep?

Xie Zhifei's heart was full of words: convinced!Yan Sanhe would lie flat on the bed, his hands behind his head, his eyes shining in the darkness.

No drowsiness.

In my mind, I sorted out what I had found over the past few days, and then peeled off the cocoons bit by bit.

Before midnight, voices came from outside the courtyard.

Yan Sanheyi got up, rushed to the door, and opened the door fiercely.

Outside the door, Pei Xiao and Xie Zhifei were talking.

When Pei Xiao saw her getting up, he sighed and shook his head.

Yan Sanhe didn't have much hope for him and asked very calmly: "Where is Astragalus?"

Pei Xiao: "After finishing my work, I'm going to help Zhu Qing."

Yan Sanhe: "Then go to bed first and wait until Buyan and Zhu Qing come back."

Xie Zhifei added something seemingly casually, "Can you sleep?"

"If you don't sleep, how can you find the energy to fight with Wu Guanyue and his son?"

Yan Sanhe dropped this sentence and closed the door.

Xie Zhifei's expression moved slightly and he whispered to Pei Xiao: "Let's go to bed."

Pei smiled: "..."

Hey, why did you fall asleep?
Why didn't you ask me about my situation at Guanyin Temple?
never mind!

Just sleep, there's nothing going on here anyway.

Ouch, I’m so exhausted!
……

When the sky was slightly bright, Li Buyan, Zhu Qing, and Huang Qi came back.

The three people had heavy dark circles under their eyes, and their eyes were bloodshot.

"How is it?" Pei Xiao asked hurriedly.

The three shook their heads at the same time.

Pei Xiao fell into his chair.

In his opinion, this darkness and light almost set up a dragnet. Why in the end, no prey was caught?

"Yan Sanhe, what should I do?" Mr. Pei was deeply hit and wanted to die.

Yan Sanhe didn't even look at him, "No words, Zhu Qing, Huang Qi, you three don't think about anything, go to bed first."

After giving the order, the three of them left obediently.

Only then did Yan Sanhe glance at Pei Xiao, who was turned into a wilted cucumber.

"Third Master, please comfort him. I'll go out and take a breath."

"No, he will get better on his own."

Xie Zhifei rubbed Pei Xiao's head, looked at Yan Sanhe and said, "I'll go for a walk with you."

Yan Sanhe frowned.

"Don't worry, I'll follow you and won't disturb you."

Xie Zhifei said he wouldn't bother, so he really didn't.

In fact, from the moment he solved Yan Xing's inner demons, he discovered that Yan Sanhe had the habit of walking and thinking at the same time.

And like someone.

Yan Sanhe walked very slowly, as if every step he took weighed a thousand pounds.

Is finding nothing a sign that the whole direction is wrong?
Wu Guanyue and his son were not at Guanyin Temple at all?
Or are there other possibilities?
"There is a move, maybe I made a wrong move."

She was talking to herself, but Xie Zhifei behind her heard her clearly and couldn't help but ask: "Which step?"

"You shouldn't live in the prefect's yamen."

Xie Zhifei was slightly surprised. He had not expected Yan Sanhe to answer his question.

With a move in his heart, he quickly walked forward and stood side by side with her.

"Why do you say that?"

Yan Sanhe stopped and looked at him, "Real hunters often appear in the form of prey."

Xie Zhifei shuddered violently, and through Yan Sanhe's pupils, he saw his own frightened expression.

this?

This word? ?
How could she think of that? ? ?
