Lin Mengya hid the cloth bag in her bosom, and a happy smile appeared on her face.
Although there were some twists and turns in the process, this trip was not in vain.
If there was nothing special about this medical book, it would not have taken so much effort to hide it at the bottom of the lake.
Moreover, the ginseng seal on her mother's clothes was the key to open the Dragon Turtle Chain. Such a delicate arrangement was enough to show how precious this medical book was.
Perhaps the way to use the Tranquil Lotus and the unfinished business of her mother could be found here.
"Shh, hide quickly. It seems that someone is coming."
While Lin Mengya was still rejoicing, Baizhi covered her mouth with her hand.
The two of them quickly hid behind the rockery. Fortunately, it was dark and the place was well hidden, so the two of them were not discovered.
Lin Mengya, who was immersed in joy, almost lost her vigilance. Fortunately, she had Baizhi, the quick-witted girl, by her side.
Looking at Baizhi, who was squatting on the ground and looking nervously outside, Lin Mengya could not help feeling relieved. The growth of the maidservants was also her growth.
She hoped that in the future, they could become independent strong women who could stand by her side.
From their angle, they could see behind the rockery, a few people were sneaking toward the place where she had entered the water.
Could it be that their movements had been discovered by someone?
Lin Mengya's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly denied this thought. If they had really been discovered, it would be the best time to strike since they had revealed a lot of flaws just now.
If these people were approaching him stealthily, the only possibility was that he had entered the water in front of them.
It was very dark at night, so Lin Mengya could not see the faces of these people clearly. If they happened to glance at Lin Mengya's position, they would see that it was a blur.
The moonlight could not penetrate the darkness of the rockery. Lin Mengya and Baizhi could only open their eyes wide and watch the movements of these people.
"Are you sure that the thing is really in this small lake?"
One of the black figures asked in a low voice.
"It was Madam Lin who said that Madam Lin had instructed that lowly servant not to fill up this small lake no matter what. Therefore, this subordinate feels that there must be something good in this lake. "
It turned out that the return of Ms. Tian and Tian Ning made Shangguan Qing suspicious.
Lin Mengya finally felt relieved, and there was a relaxed smile on her face.
She hadn't locked it back just now. Although she did not know why that dragon turtle was so gentle and friendly towards her. However, this group of people would definitely be troubled by the Dragon Turtle.
When he was young, he had heard that an adult Dragon Turtle in the wild could bite off a person's neck in one bite. The Dragon Turtle in the lake was at least the size of a millstone. Its shell was incomparably hard. It must be an adult Dragon Turtle.
Sure enough, the group of people couldn't wait to get into the water and started searching for treasures.
However, there were still two people standing on the shore. Presumably, they were also anxiously waiting for the result.
"What do you think? Did you see any treasures? "
Although the people on the shore did not dare to shout loudly, they still kept urging them.
Lin Mengya patiently waited for the moment when they would be in trouble. The dragon turtle was extremely territorial. Even she was so scared that her legs almost turned to jelly.
"Not yet … Ah … What is this! Something bit my leg! Help! "
Suddenly, there was a scream coming from the lake.
Baizhi was almost frightened. Fortunately, there was a lot of movement over there, so they were not noticed.
"What are you screaming for? If you can't find it, come up quickly! "
The other party must be afraid of alarming the people in the mansion. Therefore, he urged them anxiously.
Unexpectedly, the man struggled with all his might before sinking into the water and gradually disappearing.
The people in the lake were dumbfounded at what had happened just now.
Then, they climbed out of the lake desperately, for fear that they would be the next unlucky person if they fell behind.
"What … What's going on?"
As the cold wind blew, the wet figures couldn't help but shiver.
They had never expected that an ordinary ornamental lake would cause their companion's death.
Baizhi was also shocked by the situation in front of her. She couldn't help but hold Lin Mengya's hand with lingering fear.
If his master was as unlucky as that person just now …
That scene was so terrifying that she didn't even want to think about it.
"What's going on? Where is he? "
The people standing on the shore only heard the man's shout. However, they didn't see what happened in the lake.
A few people trembled and stood on a big rock by the shore, unwilling to go back into the water. They stammered.
"There's a ghost in the water!"
No one would have thought that he would shout out such words.
At this moment, the moon in the sky happened to be covered by a large piece of dark cloud. The surface of the lake had already calmed down, and the atmosphere was even more strange and desolate.
Lin Mengya hid in a corner. Although she couldn't see the man's face clearly, she could clearly hear the sound of him swallowing.
"How … how could this happen? There's no ghost in this world! It must be you. You're not careful enough to become like this! "
That person still didn't give up and shouted at the top of his voice.
However, in the next second, they all let out horrified screams.
"Oh my god! It's a ghost! "
In the middle of the lake, a humanoid figure floated up motionlessly.
Lin Mengya's sense of smell was extremely sensitive. Although it had been diluted by the water, the faint smell of blood still rushed into her nose.
She reached out and covered Baizhi's eyes. In order to prevent her from screaming, she didn't want to let her see what was happening below.
It was a corpse that had been bitten to the point where all its limbs were missing.
At this moment, it was upside down in the middle of the lake. The corpse kept bobbing up and down, but it didn't fall down. At this moment, the people who saw this scene were scared out of their wits.
"I … I heard that … more than ten years ago, the eldest daughter of the Lin family was scared to death by a ghost here!"
It was unknown who it was, but with a trembling voice, he revealed the secret of the mansion.
The dark clouds slowly scattered. The silvery-white light made the broken corpse in the center of the lake look even more strange. It was so strange that it made one's heart tremble.
"Run … run!"
A sharp and unpleasant voice was squeezed out of the person's throat with difficulty. The next few people immediately ran away. It seemed that if they were a little slower, they would be killed by the ghost again.
They ran in a panic, and one of them almost fell in the place where Lin Mengya and Baizhi were hiding.
Lin Mengya and Baizhi's hearts were in their throats.
Fortunately, they were all scared out of their wits. Therefore, they didn't notice that there was someone else hiding behind the artificial hill.
Lin Mengya and Baizhi only came out of their hiding place when they couldn't find any trace of the person.
At this moment, the incomplete figure had completely disappeared.
"Ma … Master … Do ghosts really exist in this world?"
Baizhi was a little scared, and she held on tightly to her master's cuffs. Although she didn't see the horrifying scene, she knew what had happened since the men were so scared.
"How could there be ghosts? If there was a ghost, it would be in their hearts. Don't worry, I'm here. Everything will be fine. "
Lin Mengya didn't take this matter to heart. Instead, she turned around and walked to the side of the lake.
Just now, she was wondering why the dragon turtle turned a blind eye to her.
But now, it had regained its ferocious nature. The reason might be the key with the seal.
Perhaps this dragon turtle had been tamed by her mother or some other expert. In this case, if she didn't bring the key with her, even if she got close to the dragon turtle, she would still be eaten.
Now, she was even more certain that the thing that her mother had hidden must be extremely precious. With so many layers of insurance, even if someone found out about it, they probably wouldn't be able to get their hands on it.
But were the people who came today really here to look for treasures?
Looking at the ripples on the lake, Lin Mengya's state of mind was the same as the lake. She couldn't calm down anymore.
She had kept the small cloth bag close to her chest. Most of the servants in the mansion didn't dare to follow and spy on her because of her ability.
In this way, Lin Mengya could save a lot of trouble.
After returning to the bedroom with Baizhi, Lin Mengya's energy had been exhausted after the thrilling night.
After washing up, Lin Mengya slept until the sun was high up in the sky.
With Baizhi's service, Lin Mengya just got up and heard that a few servants in the mansion had succumbed to an acute illness and died suddenly last night.
The doctors in the mansion only said that their deaths were strange. It was not a plague, so there was no need to worry. But Lin Mengya sneered secretly. They were just killing people to keep their mouths shut. These people were really cruel and merciless.
"Could they be the people who wanted to go into the lake to look for something last night?"
Baizhi asked in a low voice as she skillfully tied up Lin Mengya's hair.
Lin Mengya smiled and said nothing. Of course it was. But it seemed that they were not just looking for treasures. Otherwise, why would they remove all the claws and teeth that they had used once?
If it wasn't because they were too stupid, it would mean that this matter couldn't be leaked to others. Otherwise, he could have waited until Lin Mengya and Lin Nansheng had left, and then killed these people without anyone knowing.
"Little sister, have you heard about what happened in the mansion?"
Lin Nansheng, who had just finished his training in the martial arts field, was dressed in a plain white robe. His hair was tied up in a bun with a wooden hairpin.
There was no longer any fatigue on his handsome face. His eyes were shining as he looked at Lin Mengya in front of him.
