Chapter 279: The Sound of Screams
The thought of wavering, in Xuanzhi's opinion, this is not a good thing, and it can even be said that it is a very bad thing.
Although he is living in the present, three wives and four concubines are not Xuanzhi's thoughts, he just wants to choose one person to die old, however, this person has also entered his heart, what he is doing now is just to wait quietly while constantly improving himself, waiting for the end of Ge Qian's confinement.
With this in his heart, Xuanzhi tried to restrain himself, trying to drive away the chaotic thoughts in his mind, as well as the wavering thoughts in his heart.
As everyone knows, it was this time that his mind was shaken that helped Xuanzhi get rid of a great predicament in the days to come.
......
After walking out of the courtyard gate of Shangguan's mansion, Ren Feiyang did not leave immediately and went to Ma Mansion to say goodbye to Ma Jianli, but jumped onto the giant tree outside the mansion.
After finding a suitable place on the tree, Ren Feiyang stretched out his ears to listen to Ma Jianli's movements.
He did this in order to make a final judgment on whether the heartstring-tugging sigh that pulled the heartstrings when he rescued people before came from Ma Jianli's mouth.
Since he rescued Ma Jianli, Ren Feiyang has been paying attention, but since then, there has been no sound like that sigh, and his heartstrings have not been pulled again.
It was because of this that Ren Feiyang felt rejected by Ma Jianli, and it was also because of this factor that he agreed to come down and start again.
However, in the blink of an eye, half a month has passed, and Ren Feiyang still hasn't heard that voice again, the sound that can tug at his heartstrings.
Thinking that he was about to leave today, the suspicious factor in Ren Feiyang's heart expanded, he thought that the voice he heard that day was not Ma Jianli's, otherwise how could that kind of voice never appear again when they got along in the future.
At this moment, Ren Feiyang was sitting on the tree, stretching his ears, just to make sure that if it was really as he suspected in his heart, the owner of the 'sigh' was not Ma Jianli, and he was not ready to go to this final farewell.
......
However, Ma Jianli had just had dinner at the moment and was walking alone in the back garden.
When she walked to the side of the pond, Ma Jianli stopped, moved lightly, came to the edge of the pond, and looked at the reflection in the water thoughtfully.
I don't know what the reason is, after experiencing that abduction, Ma Jianli fell in love with the night, especially walking alone in the night, and then looked at the unclear images around her and reverie, just thinking that Ren Feiyang would suddenly appear in front of her like the first time they met.
However, even if half a month has passed, what Ma Jianli thought in her heart, like the first time they met, has never appeared again.
It was at this time that the oblique moon hung up, and it had not had time to cover up the starry sky.
In Ma Jianli's sight, there was a strange phenomenon, just now it was an extremely calm water surface, with the embellishment of stars, and suddenly she saw a black shadow emerge from the water, not only the brilliance of the stars, but even her own reflection in the water was pushed away and became distorted.
Through the moonlight, which was not too bright, Ma Jianli saw clearly the thing that suddenly emerged from the water, and then, accompanied by an exclamation, "Ah?!"
The shouting volume was not loud, but it was enough to reflect the fright that Ma Jianli was frightening.
At this moment, floating on the surface of the water in front of Ma Jianli was a corpse.
Ma Jianli herself was standing on the edge of the pond, and the thing was floating up near the edge, so she could see the extremely swollen corpse very clearly.
......
On the giant tree outside Shangguan's Mansion, Ren Feiyang heard the piercing scream that broke through the air, but his figure rushed to the direction of Ma Mansion like a ghost, to be exact, the direction where Ma Jianli was at the moment.
The reason why Ren Feiyang reacted so quickly was precisely because the tight string in his heart was hit by that scream.
Yes, this time, his heartstrings were not plucked like the previous sigh, but were struck by a scream, but the result was the same, making his heartstrings move.
In just a few moments, Ren Feiyang had already come to Ma Jianli's side, he didn't knock on the door to call someone, he jumped directly into the wall.
In fact, not only did he not call the door, but even on the way here, Ren Feiyang just took a straight line, crossed the courtyard and came from the palace, and without waiting for this side to stand firm, Ren Feiyang hurriedly spoke: "What's wrong? What happened? Are you okay?"
While speaking, Ren Feiyang was also concentrating on observing Ma Jianli's situation, but as for the surrounding situation, he was only lost to the ear-covering perception.
Anyway, Ma Jianli is also a character who has experienced life and death, and after shouting, she calmed down a lot and began to think about what was going on, how could a dead person suddenly emerge from the water.
Before she could start her thoughts, Ma Jianli saw Ren Feiyang appear in her sight, although she only saw his arrival out of the corner of her eye, it was enough.
After seeing Ren Feiyang, Ma Jianli's mood quickly calmed down, and she turned sideways to look at the person she was thinking about.
Ma Jianli didn't expect that this time, Ren Feiyang would really appear in front of her suddenly as he did when they met for the first time, or at such a critical moment.
At this time, all she could feel in her heart was warmth and happiness, and as for the fright just now, she had already been thrown out of the clouds.
Ma Jianli felt that as long as Ren Feiyang was there, she would be fine.
Before Ma Jianli could respond, there was a sound of hurried and neat footsteps next to her.
As the sound increased, a group of centaurs came to the side of the pond.
The team of people who came later was the guard of the Ma Mansion, although they were the same as Ren Feiyang, the moment they heard the scream, they set off to rush to this side, but they only came to the scene at this moment.
"Miss, are you alright?" After the formation stood still, the leading captain of the guard stepped forward and asked softly.
While speaking, the captain of the guard was also looking at Ren Feiyang vigilantly, and the formation of the guards he led also surrounded the two of them, to be precise, Ren Feiyang was surrounded in them.
For this captain of the guard, although Ren Feiyang is not a stranger, when he came to Mafu before, this captain had also met him, and he had met him more than once, which could be regarded as acquaintances.
However, the captain of the guard can also be sure, let alone tonight, even during the day, this Ren Feiyang has not been to Mafu. Why did he appear in the mansion at this moment, or by Miss's side, did the exclamation just now have something to do with this person? Could it be that he wanted to plot against Miss, so he was so shocked that Miss lost her voice and let out an exclamation.
It was precisely because of this thought that the captain of the guard would signal the people behind him to surround Ren Feiyang, and at the same time, he himself quietly stepped forward to try to protect the safety of the young lady.
Of course, the captain's opening was to ask each other for cover, and also to ask for proof that the matter was as he thought.
"Well, I'm fine, you don't have to be so nervous, I was just suddenly frightened, scared by a corpse that suddenly came out of this pool. As she spoke, Ma Jianli looked down at her feet.
In this moment, the floating corpse had already floated to the edge of the pond, under Ma Jianli's feet.
As Ma Jianli's voice fell, everyone noticed the corpse floating on the edge of the pond. However, this crowd also includes Ren Feiyang.
Although he was able to see at night, when he came to the scene, Ren Feiyang's attention was all on Ma Jianli's body, so he didn't find this floating corpse close at hand.
The guards who came later, although they did not have the ability to see at night, carried torches that burned vigorously. But it was similar to Ren Feiyang, who focused all his attention on him and the young lady, and didn't see the floating corpse next to him.
However, after Ma Jianli's reminder, Ren Feiyang and the team of guards also shifted their attention to the floating corpse.
Just when the team of guards wanted to step forward to take a look, Ren Feiyang stopped them with a loud voice.
While drinking them, he also moved suddenly, picked up Ma Jianli and jumped away, away from the floating corpses by the pond.
Ma Jianli only felt a flower in front of her, followed by her feet floating off the ground, waiting for the down-to-earth feeling to come from her feet again, but she found that she was being held in Ren Feiyang's arms at the moment, and there was no longer a guard around her.
Without carefully feeling the warmth and softness coming from his arms, Ren Feiyang let Ma Jianli go, and then hurriedly ordered her, "You stay here first, don't move, I'll go over there and deal with it." ”
As the words fell, Ren Feiyang's figure had also disappeared from Ma Jianli's eyes.
Because it happened too quickly, Ma Jianli hadn't fully reacted, and she was left alone in the position she was in now.
Similarly, Ma Jianli didn't think about it immediately, recalling the feeling of being held in Ren Feiyang's arms just now, but turned around and looked in the direction of the pond.
At this moment, Ma Jianli actually had a faint worry in her heart, to be precise, uneasy feelings occupied her entire body and mind.
Based on Ren Feiyang's actions and words just now, she could determine that there must be something dangerous happening.
At this point, the worry in her heart became even more serious, especially when she thought that she had just been picked up by Ren Feiyang from a dangerous place.
