Xiao Yang looked embarrassed and said hesitantly, "Miss An is nearby, I'll go call her." Then he ran to the gate of the courtyard. Unexpectedly, the boss followed him. Xiao Yang couldn't help but sweat for Miss An. But when he looked around, there was no sign of Miss An.

"Where are the people?" A cold and harsh voice sounded behind him.

"Miss An said she was going to that small woods to see the scenery. You see, it's the bamboo forest opposite. Why... why is there no one here?" Xiao Yang began to get nervous: "Maybe her view is blocked? There is no signal on the cell phone and I can't contact her. I'll go look for her!" As he said that, he was about to take action.

"stop!"

Xiao Yang stopped, lowered his head guiltily, turned around, and waited to listen to the reprimand.

As he expected, Ding Hong's face was cold and his words were even more severe: "Don't you know she is road blind? Didn't you see that she had hypoglycemia before? You neither stopped her nor followed her. Are you waiting here for things to ferment?"

Xiao Yang didn't dare to answer, he already understood the reason for his boss's anxiety. He didn't think much about it at first, but when his boss reminded him, he realized that An Yi's weak body couldn't recover too quickly, although she looked normal. It was because of his boss's vigilance that nothing serious happened in the morning, so why was he careless again now!

Cold sweat oozed from his forehead and temples. Xiao Yang was confused and annoyed. He had no face to explain himself. Not to mention the position of Miss An in the boss's heart, if the reason for her delay was the recurrence of hypoglycemia, then he really felt ashamed of Miss An's kindness.

Seeing that Xiao Yang understood the seriousness of the problem, Ding Hong sighed and said, "I'll go look for her. The terrain there is complicated and I don't want to lose another one. She's so stupid! She has no idea of ​​her own body and abilities!" He became more and more angry as he spoke. He clenched his fists, making the two people around him dare not breathe, especially the little Taoist priest who wanted to offer help, but was so scared that he forgot to speak.

"Master, please take him to get those things and then take him to the restaurant. Thank you for your trouble." Ding Hong bowed slightly to the young man next to him who looked less than 20 years old.

The young Taoist priest hastily returned the greeting respectfully. Seeing that the distinguished guest had regained his composure, he hesitated for a moment before asking, "Would you like me to ask a senior brother to accompany you in the search?" To be honest, he had seldom set foot in the bamboo forest, and the few times he had been there were all under the guidance of his senior brother.

Ding Hong knew the young Taoist's concerns. This disciple should be a new disciple recruited in the last one or two years, and he had not been here for more than two years. The other party did not know about his relationship with Yunqing Temple.

He smiled and rejected the Taoist's kindness, and turned to the ashamed Xiao Yang and said, "Go to the temple master first to get two documents. You also need to get some snacks and tea bags. The Taoist knows the specific content and the location. Just follow him. Then wait for us in the restaurant. Splitting up into two groups will save time."

Seeing Ding Hong's resolute expression, the two nodded to indicate that they had no objection. Ding Hong did not delay any longer and strode towards the direction Xiao Yang pointed.

An Yi, who was lost, was also annoyed and worried: I haven't gotten out for so long! She didn't have to worry about safety. She was afraid that her boss might have finished talking with Taoist Li and would find out that she was lost and caused time delays, and she would definitely be scolded. She looked at her phone again, and it still showed no network signal. There was no way to ask for help!

Coming to the bamboo forest to enjoy the scenery was her excuse. Her purpose was to investigate whether there was any secret in this Taoist temple. Besides, she felt that this place was not far from the Taoist temple and could be seen at a glance, so there was no risk at all. But An Yi knew that she had a problem with road blindness, so she was very careful along the way, trying to remember the scenery of the places she passed by, even a distinctive flower or plant. She was even afraid that her memory was wrong, so she went back to test it again to confirm that there was no problem before continuing on. But when she crossed a small bridge, something went wrong...

There is an artificially introduced stream near the bamboo forest, and a simple stone bridge not far away is also ordinary. Walking past it, there are several tall trees and scattered green bamboos. Going forward, you must pass a square pavilion and a straight corridor that is clear at a glance. The closed corridor took a lot of thought to build. The large windows on the wall are all shaped like Taoist instruments of various shapes. The transparent heavy tempered glass is light-transmitting, sound-proof and heat-insulating, and also prevents dirt from entering, so it is spotless and makes people feel peaceful.

Oh my god, how much money would it cost just for this corridor! This Yunqing Temple is so rich, and the merits donated by Mr. Ding are probably astronomical. Thinking of what Taoist Li said when discussing medical expenses, An Yi pouted and felt that inequality in this world is everywhere.

Across the moon gate at the end of the corridor is a small garden with some ordinary plants and nothing special to see. Connected to it is another moon gate, and behind a corridor similar to the previous one is a small courtyard. The gate of the courtyard is open, and a screen wall blocks the scenery inside.

For some reason, An Yi became alert and stopped to look around. However, the road was straight all the way, without even a bend. How could he get lost? Forget it. Kong Ming was always cautious throughout his life, not to mention a person like me. An Yi chose to go back to the original road. After a while, he successfully left the pavilion and returned to the small stone bridge. Looking in the direction of the bamboo forest, An Yi suddenly felt that he was ridiculous. He was suspicious because of the boss' words. Besides, didn't the Taoist priest also refute the rumor? It was less than ten minutes later. He looked at the courtyard of Taoist Li. It was quiet there, and the door was closed.

The older you get, the less courageous you become. An Yi laughed at herself, but finally, driven by her desire to win, she walked back to the gate of the courtyard. After bypassing the simple and unadorned screen wall, An Yi stepped into the courtyard and found that no one was there. The doors of the rooms were all open, so she easily determined that this was a two-story courtyard.

There were several Taoist statues in the main house, with fresh fruit offerings in front of them, a wisp of green smoke rising from the incense burner, and some literati paintings and calligraphy hanging on the walls of other rooms. An Yi didn't dare to go in to see them, for fear that he would turn around, so he chose to walk straight through.

But here, An Yi got lost. The strange thing was that she could see the surroundings clearly through the glass windows of the corridor and several rooms in the courtyard, including the bamboo forest and the river not far away, and even the courtyard of Taoist Li hundreds of meters away. But she just couldn't find the exit. Whether she went forward or backward, it was the straight corridor she had seen. The reason why she was sure it was the same corridor was because An Yi had scratched a shallow mark on the pillar with her fingernail.

I was actually trapped in a maze in broad daylight? An Yi stood in the middle of the courtyard and looked around helplessly, feeling that the boss was not lying to me! This Taoist temple is indeed different. Fortunately, Xiao Yang and I had explained it very clearly. I hope the boss and his men can come to rescue me as soon as possible. In addition, given the furnishings here, it is very likely that I will meet the Taoists who come to clean the temple in a while.

Therefore, An Yi was not afraid. It was only a matter of time before he could get out. However, when he thought of the terrible look of his boss when he got angry, he couldn't help but shiver. He felt cold under the bright sun. He couldn't just sit there and wait for death! An Yi continued to look for an exit. If he could get out by himself, maybe the boss could reduce his "guilt".

Stepping back into the corridor again, touching the shallow nail marks, An Yi's fighting spirit was gradually lost, and he turned dejectedly and walked into this strange two-story courtyard.

Suddenly, she felt something behind her. Just as she was about to turn around to check, someone grabbed her wrist. An Yi was so frightened that her hair stood on end: Is there really a ghost? Just as she was about to scream, her shoulders were forcibly pulled over. The person who appeared in front of her was her own man who was furious and glaring at her...

"Boss!" An Yi shook the boss's slender hand with distinct joints, jumping and shouting excitedly: "Wow! Long live the boss! The boss is wise! You really found me!"

When Ding Hong grabbed An Yi who was "wandering" like a ghost, he was ready to lose his temper and scold her to relieve his anger, but the bright eyes and stunning luster on her face when she saw him made him stunned for a moment. It was the first time that An Yi laughed so hard in front of him, which was rare.

If this tossing and turning can make you forget your sorrow for a moment, then it will not be in vain. Ding Hong smiled bitterly and looked down at his right hand, which was tightly held by her slender hands. He knew that the arrangement here really scared An Yi, so he silently covered it with his other hand to warm the hand that felt like cold jade even in the middle of summer.

The excitement of An Yi finally passed, and her emotions returned to calm. She realized that she seemed to be laughing too much just now. Her face turned red, and she was surprised to find that she was holding the boss's hand and had not let go. Her face turned red.

"Boss, I'm so sorry for wasting your valuable time!" An Yi lowered his head and apologized sincerely.

After thinking about it, I realized that this was my biggest mistake. My boss always strives for efficiency. I thought it would only take half an hour to visit a small bamboo forest, but who would have thought it would take so long! An Yi felt miserable, but he couldn't blame others. He was really confused today. Maybe... it was the sequelae of hypoglycemia.

Ding Hong did not answer, but quietly watched An Yi's every move. Although she was timid and admitted her mistakes, her well-behaved appearance made people soft-hearted. In fact, she was quietly trying to withdraw her hands from his palms. She secretly exerted force to entangle the four hands of the two people tightly, making it impossible for An Yi to succeed.

The boss must be very angry with me! An Yi didn't dare to check the boss's face, it must be very scary. Look at the strength of his grip on her hand, it proves that he is still in a state of anger! It's past twelve o'clock now, a hungry and manic man... I wonder if there are other people with him. Could it be that he wants to drag her to the streets to show her off and kill her as a warning to others?
