sinking in his peril

Walking into the entrance, Bai Xiyao subconsciously pressed her hands on her tense and thumping chest, walked forward along the road, and vaguely heard a very slight sound, which seemed to be somewhere in her body, away from her. Not far away, I looked back quickly, and the entrance had long been left behind, and I couldn't see it. The light seemed to be better than before, probably because there was no comparison with the bright light above.

It seemed that it was not real, but hearing a soft groan that was trying to control herself, Bai Xiyao immediately raised her voice and asked, "Who?—"

No one responded, and the surroundings were quiet. There are some road-like places that have been excavated here, and some places that have not been excavated because they are not sure what they are are still quietly staying. It is not difficult to hide one or two people.

I heard a voice coming from inside, "Xi Yao? I'm here." It was Ouyang Ruixiang's voice, "Come in, those policemen wanted to come in, so I kicked them out, here are all precious things, in case If one is accidentally damaged, I have committed a great crime."

"Uncle Ouyang." Bai Xiyao responded, and took a peek at the dark place, as if she felt that there should be someone there, but she didn't feel any hostility. At least for her, the other party maintained a gentle and gentle manner A sense of vigilance. "I'll go right away."

After walking two steps, Bai Xiyao turned her head suddenly, and choked on her throat with an exclamation. She only felt a tightness on her wrist, and someone immediately grabbed her and covered her mouth.

"It's me." The visitor said in a low voice, "I'm Gan Nan from Yinxiang Restaurant, we've met before, please don't call anyone over."

His voice was a little weak, and when Bai Xiyao swallowed back his exclamation, Gan Nan let go of his hand, and retreated into the darkness again, panting heavily, "I have no malicious intentions."

Bai Xiyao stared blankly at Gan Nan in front of her. Just as she was about to say something, Ouyang Ruixiang called her again: "Xiyao, what's the matter? Are you okay? The light is not good today, be careful not to fall."

"It's okay, Uncle Ouyang, it's okay, I've gotten used to it." Bai Xiyao turned her head to look at Gan Nan, then looked at the way she came, she didn't make a sound, and walked towards the place where Ouyang Ruixiang made the sound, with a low voice, "Be careful, is it okay?"

"It's okay." Gan Nan smiled weakly and said weakly, "It has nothing to do with them, it's Hongzhu. By the way, Bai Xiyao, be careful when you go to see Ouyang Ruixiang, especially when Hongzhu is around." , don’t light the red candle.”

Bai Xiyao didn't quite understand, but she felt uncomfortable when she saw Hong Zhu, so she nodded and continued on her own way.

Ouyang Ruixiang was sitting on a mound, looking at the red candles in the glass cover, saw Bai Xiyao coming in, smiled, pointed to a mound beside him and said, "Sit down, it's okay, yes It's not that Ouyang Qing and Tao Zi are worried about me, and told them that I'm fine, I just look at the red candle to feel at ease, this kind of glass is anti-theft, and it can't be broken even if it is smashed."

"What happened last night?" Bai Xiyao asked curiously, "There are policemen outside, and one of them is my father's old subordinate. He said that someone seemed to have broken in."

Ouyang Ruixiang walked over, gently opened the glass cover, and took a deep breath, "This pair of red candles is so beautiful, there must be many, many stories, after so many years, there is still a faint scent of wax, don't believe it , you smell it."

Bai Xiyao smiled and said, "No, maybe for those who are interested in the red candle, the only thing that matters to the red candle is its value."

"They are idiots!" Ouyang Ruixiang's tone changed slightly, holding the red candle, he turned to look at Bai Xiyao, his eyes were a little frenzied, frighteningly frenzied, "They don't understand, only I understand—"

Bai Xiyao looked at Ouyang Ruixiang in surprise, why did she suddenly change her expression from being kind to fanatical and paranoid! "Uncle Ouyang, what's the matter with you?"

"How did you know?" Ouyang Ruixiang took a step closer to Bai Xiyao with a red candle in his arms, and his steps were a little messy, "You are an ordinary girl, I don't understand why Ouyang Qing likes you, but you But you can feel everything here."

Bai Xiyao felt a sudden pain in her chest, yes, she was just an ordinary girl who couldn't be more ordinary, how could she be so sensitive to the things here. "Uncle Ouyang, you, put the red candle back, what if you accidentally drop it?" She clutched her chest and said weakly.

"Yes, I have to be more careful." Ouyang Ruixiang thought for a while, and put back the red candle he was holding, very careful and pious.

"I'll go up and have a look and tell them that you are fine, so that Ouyang Qing and my brother won't be worried." Bai Xiyao said hurriedly, and she backed out as she spoke. She was actually a little worried about Gan Nan, he seemed to be injured .

Before Ouyang Ruixiang agreed, Bai Xiyao had already retreated in a hurry, and when she hurried back, she met Gannan, he was still there, with a very pale face.

"Are you back?" Gan Nan tried to smile, "Are you all right?"

"It's okay." Bai Xiyao said with lingering fear, "Uncle Ouyang is very strange. When I went in, I was talking well. I don't know why, but when I came out with a red candle, I suddenly became inexplicably fanatical, and my eyes were strange. very scary."

Gan Nan let out a long breath, and said slowly: "Miss Bai, I need your help with something, I know it's a bit embarrassing for you, but you are the only one who can help me now, I can't stay here, I will hurt my master. You can help me go to Yinxiang Restaurant to find our boss, tell him my current situation, he will ask you to bring me medicine, if there is medicine, take a rest, I can leave at night."

Bai Xiyao nodded immediately, and just about to leave, she asked softly: "Why did you come here?" She hesitated, swallowed back the stolen word, and continued softly, "You like that pair of red candles very much too. ?"

"I don't like it." Gan Nan smiled wryly, "Not only do I not like it, but I also hate it deeply. I didn't come here to steal it, but to destroy it, because I don't know how to tell you about some things. , is evil!"

Bai Xiyao still doesn't quite understand, but what can be believed is that although the pair of red candles are used in weddings, they are not auspicious.

Going back to the top, although it was raining outside, it was much brighter. Bai Xiyao thought for a while, and said to the three people in the room: "I have something to leave for a while, and I will be back soon. If you have anything to do, call me." Me, Xinrou, wait for me here for a while, I will come as soon as I go, about half an hour back and forth. Uncle Ouyang is fine down here, but don’t let him touch the pair of red candles again, I, I think that pair of red candles are weird."

"Do you want me to see you off?" Ouyang Qing asked immediately.

After hesitating for a moment, Bai Xiyao smiled and said, "No need, I have some personal matters to attend to, and I'll be back soon. Xinrou was timid at first, so if you leave again, if my brother needs you Help, or what if Uncle Ouyang asks you for something?"

Ouyang Qing watched Bai Xiyao leave.

Sang Xinrou sighed, and said softly: "Xi Yao is different from before, she has something to stop me from being with her."

Tao Zi smiled. "Sang Xinrou, you are a girl, why do you stare at my sister so closely, Ouyang Qing is just jealous, why are you sighing?"

"I'm not jealous." Sang Xinrou looked at Tao Zi and said seriously: "Xi Yao is not like your two sisters, she is really a good girl, of course, I don't mean that your two sisters are not enough Well, sister Zhizhi is beautiful and a little cold, arrogant and not easy to get close to; sister Zhizhi is beautiful, sexy and charming, making men spurt blood and making women jealous; but, Xiyao, she is really good, I can't tell what is good about her Where, but, seeing her, I feel very at ease in my heart, just like no matter how good the drink is, no matter how strong the wine is, it can't compare to the sweetness of a glass of water, it seems ordinary, but it can resolve everything, Xi Yao, she is destined, I believe that there will be a good marriage, Ouyang Qing, I am not saying that you are not good enough, but you do not love Xiyao enough, you are so meek that I am anxious to see you. For so long, you have not let Xiyao Xindong, you have known each other since childhood, but after so long, what is the difference between you and Tao Zi, you are a man who loves her, not a brother who loves her. Sigh, I really don’t understand you men! "

"What makes sense." Tao Zi muttered, "However, it makes sense after thinking about it."

"She didn't tell me the truth, she lied to us." Sang Xinrou said softly, "She has changed, and she doesn't want us to get involved in what she wants to do."

"Okay," Tao Zi said with a smile, "Sang Xinrou, if you continue, I really want to doubt your orientation. My sister said that she has a private matter to deal with, maybe it's our family's business, maybe it's her own. Some private matters are not convenient for outsiders to know, what are you thinking about. Ouyang Qing, don't pay attention to this girl, I think she has also started to become nervous. "

Ouyang Qing smiled, but did not speak.

After taking a taxi to Yinxiang Restaurant, I bumped into Xiao Yi, saw her, immediately smiled and said, "Miss Bai, you are here, just in time, our boss is waiting for you on the top floor."

Bai Xiyao smiled, wondering, did Sima know she would come?
When I reached the top floor, I knocked on the door lightly, and Sima's voice came from inside, "The door is unlocked, come in."

Pushing open the door, Sima sat behind the table and watched her come in, before she could speak, he asked first, "Is Gan Nan alright?"

"How do you know that my visit has something to do with Gannan?" Bai Xiyao looked at Sima in surprise, "Could it be that you know about his going to the old site—the pair of red candles?"

"Yes, I know, or rather, I arranged this matter." Sima did not hide anything, and said calmly, "I wanted to destroy the pair of red candles, but I still underestimated its power. After so long, it still has indestructible power after a thousand years. We still have no way to get close to it. Is Gan Nan seriously injured?"

"He's okay, but his face is very pale and he's very weak." Bai Xiyao hesitated and said, "He said let me come to you, and you'll let me bring him the antidote, so he can leave the old site at night."

"Okay. I've prepared the antidote. I'll take you back, the sooner the better." Sima stood up without explaining anything, "I'm going to find a place nearby and wait for him to come out."

Before Bai Xiyao could react, Sima had already walked past her, dropped his voice and said, "I know you have many problems in your heart, but right now, Gan Nan's life is more important than any problems, I can't let him have an accident, even if To leave, he must be allowed to leave quietly, not in front of anyone, he needs to leave peacefully."

Bai Xiyao didn't understand, but obediently followed Sima and left.

Sima's car was driving very fast, and his expression was not good, "I'm glad you will go there today, otherwise, I don't know how Gannan will get rescued and come back."

"Can he leave alone at night?" Bai Xiyao asked softly, "If it's difficult, I can try to lure other people down to give him enough time to leave."

"If that's the case, it's better, thank you, Xiyao." Sima looked sideways at Bai Xiyao, paused, and continued to drive his car back, "I mean, I won't love any woman again, my My heart can no longer hold any woman, so, but, I will treat you as a friend, just a friend, Xi Yao, don't let you fall in love with me, I won't give it."
