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

Chapter 180 Orphans
Is Ji Lingchuan a tough guy?

No.

Compared with the heart-piercing pain when he was dissolving thoughts and demons, the pain in his flesh and skin at this moment was nothing to him.

On the contrary, he felt that every time he hit the board, the sins in his body became a little lighter, and he felt indescribably relaxed.

He suddenly remembered a small incident from long ago.

The third master of the Ji family was born, and the servants said that the third master's nose and eyes looked like him.

He was curious, so he secretly went to her courtyard.

It was a summer afternoon.

The maids and wives were all dozing in the shade, so he walked straight to the back room and called "Auntie."

She stood up suddenly and looked at him a little helplessly.

"Let me see my third brother!"

"Then...then come with me!"

He followed her into the inner room and saw his third brother in the cradle. He couldn't help but mutter, "It doesn't look like him at all. He's so ugly."

She smiled widely, "Uncle, put your fingers in his hand and see if he will grab you."

"Will I hurt him?"

"will not."

So, he stretched out his finger and stuffed it carefully.

The baby seemed to notice it, and his little hand suddenly grasped his with force. He was startled, "It's so strong!"

"My uncle also liked to hold other people's fingers when he was little. He would hold them so tightly that he wouldn't let go. It was even stronger than this."

He looked up, "How do you know?"

"I heard what my wife said."

She smiled and said, "Master, please take your fingers out."

He twitched a few times, but didn't twitch, "Come on, let him hold it for a while longer!"

She smiled again, her eyes soft.

He sat down on the cradle, feeling sleepy and his eyelids were heavy, "I'm going to take a nap. After a while, Third Brother will let go. Please wake me up."

"it is good."

Outside the window, cicadas were calling.

He was only half an arm's length away from her, and she had a very light milky scent, which made him feel even more sleepy.

In the daze, a breeze blew over, and then he heard a gentle sound.

"Son, is it hot or not? Mommy will give you a fan!"

Tears of regret fell from the corners of Ji Lingchuan's eyes. In severe pain, he finally opened his eyes.

Outside the hall, there was a light blue sky and a slightly drunken wind. The Pei family father and son were raising their heads and looking at him with worried faces...

Just die like this.

This ending is the best for him, otherwise for the rest of his life, he will have to feel guilty and repent to someone.

The board fell down, and in the severe pain, Ji Lingchuan slowly closed his eyes and went to die calmly.

I don't know how long it took, but in the chaos, footsteps came towards him, and cold fingers gently poked his forehead.

A huge cowardice suddenly surged in his heart.

Mom, is that you?
Have you seen my retribution?
Are you happy?

No one answered him.

There was only a soft sigh in my ears.

Then, he felt something covering his back, tightly protecting his bloody body.

The pain suddenly disappeared.

But the boards continued to fall again and again.

Ji Lingchuan seemed to understand something. He opened his eyes suddenly and struggled violently all over.

"do not move!"

A familiar voice floated into my ears.

"Mom has never done a single thing for you in this life, and this is the only one that completes our relationship as mother and son in this life."

this life?

What about the next life?

"No need to say goodbye!"

She waved to him with a smile, her bright eyes dark and bright.

Through those black eyes, he saw the endless Beicang River and the kapok trees in full bloom.

At the end of the kapok, stood a handsome young man. The young man stretched out his hand and she flew towards him.

"mother--"

"mother--"

"Mother——" He roared heartbreakingly.

She has not looked back, nor will she look back again...

Two lines of bloody tears rolled down from the corners of Ji Lingchuan's eyes and slid to his cheeks.

It turns out that this is his ending——

Be an orphan!
"Snapped--"

The last stroke fell, and the two executioners were panting from exhaustion.

"Master Lu, the eighty strokes have been completed."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Yu and Pei Xiao, their father and son, rushed in. One stretched out his hand to feel his pulse, and the other stretched out his hand to feel his breath.

"Son, you're still angry!"

"Dad, he's alive!"

Pei Yu glanced at his son happily and said, "Quick, carry him back and treat his injuries."

Pei Xiao squatted down and asked, "Dad, the injury is so serious, can it be saved?"

Pei Yu slapped him, "The pulse is beating so hard. If you can't save him, how can your father survive?"

How can this be?

Xu Lai looked at the bloody man and was completely dumbfounded.

its not right.

He could clearly see that when the bat hit more than thirty times, the Ji Lingchuan man died. How could he still be alive?

Xu Lai's mind started to heat up and he rushed up to check Ji Lingchuan's breathing.

At this moment, Ji Lingchuan, who had been unconscious for a long time, suddenly opened his eyes. Xu Lai rolled his eyes in fright and staggered back several steps.

"Master Xu, you have to stand firm, be careful if you fall and cannot get up."

A long withered hand held Xu Lai's arm. Xu Lai looked suddenly and met Cai Si's sinister eyes.

Still in shock, added to the threat...

Xu Lai rolled his eyes and fainted on the spot.

……

"Boom boom boom!"

Xie Zhifei got up and opened the door. There was a young boy outside the door.

"Someone asked me to give the third master a message. It's over, and he's still alive."

Xie Zhifei recited "Amitabha" in his heart, took out two taels of silver from his pocket, and stuffed it into the hands of the waiter.

Close the door and turn around.

He glanced at Li Buyan faintly, "Go outside and look at the door. Your lady and I have something to say."

Li Buyan suddenly smiled, "I just want to ask, is it a business matter or a private matter?"

Hey, Third Master, I still don’t understand.

"What about business matters? What about personal matters?"

"It's business, I'll leave quickly; it's private business..."

Li Buyan curled his lips: "What you say doesn't matter, I still have to listen to what my master wants."

The master put down the tea cup and closed his eyes calmly towards Li Buyan. Li Buyan immediately stood up and quickly closed the door and left without saying a word.

When she left, the room fell into an awkward silence.

Because the real body was still on the way back to Beijing, and Cai Si's Mansion was not a place to stay for a long time, Xie Zhifei asked people from Cai Mansion to send them here——

The inn where Yan Sanhe was caught in a trap.

This is the closest to the South City Gate. Spend a few taels of silver to hire a few beggars to guard the city gate. The carriages and horses of the Xie Mansion can quickly meet up as soon as they enter the city.

Everything would be very logical, if it weren't for the fact that this was the only couple's room left in the inn.

The so-called couples' rooms are specially designed for wealthy people.

The bed is soft, the quilt is fragrant, and the pillows are in pairs. The most terrible thing is that the couple who lived in this room have just left, and there is a strong acacia fragrance in the room.

Xie Zhifei said heartily: We are already an old married couple, and if we are still doing these fancy things, we are not serious people at first glance!

Yan Sanhe also felt uncomfortable, "Third Master, if you have something to say, speak directly."

"It's still an old problem."

Xie Zhifei lazily leaned back, looking past her at the blue sky outside the window.

"How to avoid the Zheng family's case, I have to explain it to everyone."

Yan Sanhe looked at him for a moment and said, "You must keep Wu Guanyue's matter a secret."

"Very sure."

"Disaster!"

Yan Sanhe replied directly to him.
