Chapter 753: The Mantis Catches the Cicada, Waiting for the Yellow Bird Behind (Part 2)
It all happened in a blink of an eye.
The courtyard fell into deathly silence.
Xiao Lanxi suddenly covered her mouth, her eyes widened in horror, and she took a half step back almost uncontrollably.
This, this——
"Look at you, you scared me, didn't you?"
Basha peeked over here from behind the door, without a trace of surprise on his face, and then looked in the direction of Xiao Lanxi.
Xiao Lanxi held her breath, not even daring to breathe.
Basha chuckled and complained to the man in the silver mask, "You acted decisively, but have you ever considered how much trouble it would take for me to clean up?"
"That's your business."
The man wearing the silver mask spoke in a low voice, his tone indifferent.
Basha curled his lips and said, "Alright! I'll clean this up later."
He only dared to complain a few words and didn't dare to really disrespect this person.
But then again, being able to get this person to go out...
Basha glanced at the dead body on the ground, shook his head and sighed.
"Beauty can lead to misfortune!"
Xiao Lanxi was trembling all over, unable to utter a word, and her heart was beating wildly, as if it was about to jump out of her chest!
The man wearing the silver mask looked towards her.
Even though there was only a tiny gap through the window, Xiao Lanxi could still feel the cold murderous intent in that gaze!
"There won't be a next time." He warned coldly.
After he finished speaking, he turned and left without stopping.
Xiao Lanxi didn't even see how he left. She just saw a shadow flash before her eyes and then the person disappeared.
Basha leaned against the door frame and waited until the man left. Then he clapped his hands, walked forward while complaining, skillfully dragged the corpse off the ground, and hid it at the door.
There was a pool of blood on the ground, but it wasn't very large because it happened so quickly.
Bashar grabbed a handful of sawdust and ashes from the side and scattered them around.
The blood was quickly absorbed and the debris clumps together.
Bashar took a broom and a shovel in one hand and quickly cleaned the place up.
If it weren't for the disgusting smell of blood still lingering in the air, I'm afraid no one would believe what had just happened here.
"Pooh!"
Basha spat to the side.
"It's so damn unlucky every day!"
Xiao Lanxi knew he was scolding her.
Ever since she was sent here, she has been trapped in this small room every day. Apart from eating and drinking normally, she is no different from a prisoner!
At first she could still bear it, thinking that once the hype of the fake death died down, things would soon return to normal.
But she didn't expect that she waited and waited here, but there was no change around her.
If it weren't for the attendant who would occasionally come to deliver messages, she would almost think that she had been forgotten.
After much deliberation, she decided to take the initiative and try to change her situation.
Things developed as she expected. The attendant was actually a very easy man to deal with.
But just when she thought hope was just around the corner, everything that happened today dealt her a heavy blow!
——She was not forgotten, she was abandoned!
Realizing this, Xiao Lanxi was angry, desperate, and even more confused.
Why! ?
She doesn't understand.
They had clearly agreed on this before...but Xiao Chenglin suddenly turned against him!
The courtyard was soon empty and extremely quiet.
But Xiao Lanxi knew that countless eyes were staring at her in secret!
It is undoubtedly a pipe dream for her to escape from here by her own strength!
Xiao Lanxi's chest suddenly felt like it was boiling with blood, and she felt sharp pains all over her body again.
She hurriedly stepped back, holding onto the corner of the table, barely supporting herself from falling, while trying to calm herself down and breathing heavily.
After a long time, the pain gradually disappeared.
However, Xiao Lanxi's entire body was drenched in cold sweat, and her lips were unusually pale.
The Life and Death Gu is extremely harmful to the body, so it's no wonder she is so anxious.
But now, she is too passive.
Xiao Lanxi bit her lip tightly, with resentment and unwillingness in her eyes.
She had tried so hard, even risking her own life, and in the end, the other party just turned their backs on her!?
If she missed this opportunity, she didn't know how long it would take for her to see Shui Xingqiu again!
It is unknown whether she can hold on until that day!
Xiao Lanxi felt extremely regretful.
no!
She took a deep breath, and her expression gradually became determined.
——No matter what, she can't die here! She must get out!
As soon as she stood up, her vision suddenly went dark, and then she lost consciousness and fell heavily to the ground.
Bang--!
Bashar also heard the muffled sound coming from the backyard, frowned, and became more and more impatient.
“That’s too much crap!”
As he spoke, he put the body into a sack and threw it into an empty water tank.
After a while, he locked the door of the pharmacy and pushed the cart out.
When I came out, I met someone I knew.
"Hey, are you going to fetch water?"
Basha smiled innocently, "Yes! The water from the nearby wells is bitter and astringent. I'm going to find a sweet water well!"
He rarely goes out on weekdays, but he is particularly obsessed with drinking. His neighbors thought he was troublesome at first, but they got used to it after a while.
After greeting each other, the two sides passed each other.
Bashar pushed the cart through several streets and finally arrived at the southern suburbs of the city.
In comparison, this place is much more desolate. There are not even any decent houses, only a few earthen houses that are about to collapse, and a well.
There was no one around.
Bashar looked around before pushing the cart into the adobe house and dragging the corpse out.
Half an hour later, he returned with the cart filled with water.
After his figure gradually disappeared, someone jumped down from the adobe house.
Lian Zhou looked at the almost invisible figure, then looked down at the newly turned soil at his feet, feeling mixed emotions.
"...I really forgot to check the almanac before going out today!"
…
In the evening, at the Dingbei Marquis Mansion.
As soon as Shen Yanchuan returned from the palace, he saw Yun Cheng coming to greet him.
"Master, Lian Zhou is back."
Shen Yanchuan paused.
"At this time?"
He had sent Lian Zhou out earlier, asking him to keep a close eye on the situation over there. He shouldn't have come back at this time.
What... happened?
"Where are the others?"
"He..." Yun Cheng's expression was a little strange. "It's hard to explain in a few words. He is waiting for you in the study. You should go and see him in person."
Chen Yanchuan raised his eyebrows slightly, with a vague guess in his mind, and turned around and walked towards the study.
Pushing open the door of the study, Shen Yanchuan saw the dusty Lian Zhou.
"Master!" Lian Zhou immediately bowed.
Shen Yanchuan looked him up and down and saw several spots of mud on his clothes.
"Where have you been busy?"
Lian Zhou felt miserable.
"In reply to the master, the southern suburbs of the city."
As he spoke, he glanced at Yun Cheng, who was also waiting for him to speak, gritted his teeth, and went for it.
"And dug a grave!"
