sinking in his peril

"Hey, Boss Du is here too." Tao Zi smiled, her peach blossom eyes turned around on Ouyang Bei, and said jokingly, "Ouyang Bei, it's easy to make people suspicious. A diamond-level man with a flowery and jade-like beauty Girl, I ran to Yinxiang Restaurant for dinner, tsk tsk—”

"You're going to die, you!" Ouyang Bei hit the peach and said half-truthfully, "Did you drink a few more glasses? Boss Du is a gentleman. He has a wife who is both beautiful and talented. This kind of joke It can't be opened."

"Hehe, it's just a small joke." Tao Zi smiled and said to Du Hui, "Don't mind, it's just a joke. After all, my eldest sister is also working under your command. You are a gentleman, and we are even more happy."

Du Hui secretly scolded Ouyang Bei in his heart, but on the surface he smiled and said: "It's okay, your sister is a very good and excellent employee, I have already said that when we had dinner together last time, she can be as good as your sister The employees are my luck."

Ouyang Bei had a dignified and steady smile on her face, as if it was just a work meal related to business. "Dad, why do you have time to come here for dinner?"

"Can't I come here for dinner?" Ouyang Ruixiang said flatly, "You, take it easy, it's only reasonable to find someone to marry, how old you are, and you haven't settled yet, even though you're out for dinner with the boss It’s a matter of work, but it’s still not good for people to see it.”

"Dad." Ouyang Bei smiled and said, "Look at you, if I don't come back, you are worried that I will hide something from you abroad, but now that I am back, you don't worry about me being with the boss, you Don't worry, Boss Du won't be interested in your daughter, no matter how old I am, if he likes it, he should like someone of Xi Yao's age."

"Sister, what a joke." Ouyang Qing immediately said, "Xiyao is not that kind of person."

"Yo, just protect it." Ouyang Bei smiled and said, "Okay, sister will stop making fun of Xiyao. I know that Xiyao is not that kind of person, so I am afraid of someone. I am uneasy and kind, like Xiyao You can take a firm look at such a simple and lovely girl."

Sang Xinrou watched from the side, muttering in her heart, this Ouyang Bei is really not ordinary wordy!Why are you worried about what will happen to Xi Yao? !

"That's right, Professor Ouyang, I want to visit the old site, is that okay?" Du Hui asked calmly, "I want to see how it's going, because I plan to invest another sum of money in it."

"Yes." Ouyang Ruixiang nodded, "You are a patron, you can do it anytime. Xi Yao, come with us. You haven't formally entered the inside to take a look. You have your own experience, and then talk to Mr. Sima. , it might be easier."

"Dad—" Ouyang Qing said helplessly.

"Okay, it's decided like this. Have you finished eating? If you finish eating, we will go together. If you don't finish eating, we will go first." Ouyang Ruixiang said politely.

"Okay, let's go together." Du Hui agreed with a smile.

A few people came out of Yinxiang Restaurant, and the sky seemed cloudy.

When she arrived at the old site No. [-], Bai Xiyao was a little hesitant. She didn't want to enter the old site, but after a little hesitation, she bravely walked down with everyone. The old site is deep underground, and it takes a long time to go down. , the colder she went down, she subconsciously folded her arms, feeling inexplicably nervous.

"Is it a little cold?" Ouyang Qing immediately asked, "You may not be used to it. I'll go up and get you a coat. It's getting colder as you go down. This is your first time here, so you may not know."

Bai Xiyao shivered, she was not only cold, but also nervous.

"Xi Yao, come here, put on my coat first." Tao Zi took off his coat and handed it to his sister. He often comes down and puts his overalls at the entrance, and said in a low voice, "You guys This is the first time to enter such a deep place. When Mr. Du came last time, he just took a brief look at the upper floor. Today, Teacher Ouyang seems to be taking everyone to the next floor, which is the place where the red candle was found , there has not been fully excavated, but it is already quite amazing."

Bai Xiyao put on her brother's coat and didn't speak. I don't know why, but when they got here, everyone stopped talking, and even breathed very lightly. The further they walked, the more nervous Bai Xiyao became, and her breathing began to slow down. Unobstructed, my heart seems to be starting to ache!
"The front is the place where the red candle was found." Ouyang Ruixiang said softly, "The front should be a large house, but now we dare not dig it easily, because we really don't know if it is a house or not. What other circumstances, I'm afraid that if someone accidentally hurts the items inside—"

"Xiyao, what's wrong with you?" Ouyang Qing held Bai Xiyao beside him.

Bai Xiyao just felt so distressed that she couldn't bear it. It seemed that a sharp weapon had penetrated her chest deeply, and it became extremely difficult to breathe. She trembled uncontrollably. became unusually pale.

"Xiyao, what's wrong?" Taozi dashed over and grabbed Bai Xiyao's hand, "What's wrong, why is her pulse so weak? Xiyao, what's wrong with you?"

Bai Xiyao wanted to speak, but she couldn't make a sound. She just felt the pain in her chest and her whole body tightened. She held onto Ouyang Qing tightly, like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw. But, in fact, Ouyang Qing But he felt that Bai Xiyao's hand was very loose, and he had to hold her hand tightly with his backhand. Her hand was abnormally cold.

"Xiyao——" Taozi was terrified, as if all of a sudden Bai Xiyao's life had disappeared, "Ouyang Qing, take her away quickly!"

A soft sigh sounded softly around the surroundings, seemingly real or unreal, and everyone couldn't help staying there. The voice seemed to penetrate Xi Yao's voice, but Xi Yao was in a coma, and it was impossible for her to make any sound at all. And the voice didn't come from where Xi Yao was, but——Ouyang Ruixiang said suddenly: "Red Candle, this voice comes from Hong Zhu!"

"Xiyao, are you alright?!" Ouyang Qing hugged Bai Xiyao into his arms, her body was as cold as water, almost breathless, but tears slowly flowed from her eyes, "Xiao Min, Xi Yao , why is there blood on Xi Yao's chest!—"

Tao Zi was startled, and looked down, the coat that Bai Xiyao was wearing was not buttoned, Xi Yao's own clothes could be seen on the chest, and there were glaring bloodstains on the chest, which was shocking.A vague sense of sadness instantly spread around everyone.

A soft sigh sounded again, as if it had been settled for a thousand years.

"It should be there." Sang Xinrou's voice changed, and she pointed to a place ahead.

"That's where the red candle was found." Ouyang Ruixiang said immediately, "I'll go up and put the red candle back to its original place, and see what happens."

"Dad, Xi Yao's situation is very bad." Ouyang Qing was a little angry.

"It should be fine. Maybe it's because she's not used to the air here. Take her up there to rest first." Ouyang Ruixiang said without turning his head.
