The moon is high in the sky, and the bright silver light is shining down, covering the entire Hongye Villa, casting a mysterious and hazy veil.
In the courtyard of the front hall, a small square high platform has been set up. There are rows of chairs around the high platform. There is a small square table between every two chairs, and several refreshments are placed on it.
The treasure-seeking guests eat and drink.
Xia Ziluo held Xiao Bai's arm, and his steps were a little weak. When the two arrived in the front hall and courtyard, it was already overcrowded, and there was not even a place to stand. Xia Baobei and Niuniu's family had already arrived first.
lobby.
"Xiao Bai, it's all your fault. If you hadn't been dawdling for a while, why wouldn't you have a place to stand now, let alone squeeze into the front row to watch the luminous pearl." Xia Ziluo glared at Xiao Bai and complained.
road.
Damn, this coquettish fox did it on purpose. He clearly knew that she wanted to witness the brilliance of the Night Pearl, and then took the opportunity to rob her. He actually touched her hands and fanned the flames when she was about to go out. As a result, the two of them had a passionate fight, which was on the verge of breaking out. After some lingering, etc.
When we arrived at the front yard, it was already crowded and all seats were occupied.
"How can this be all my fault? Who told me to break into the room and call you when you happened to be changing clothes? When I saw your graceful figure and snow-white skin, I was so excited. Didn't you do the same just now?
I am enjoying it so much that I keep moaning." Xiaobai looked very proud, with a smile in his cunning fox eyes. He helped Xia Ziluo, whose legs were a little weak, and squeezed forward.
"Mom, I'm here." Xia Baobao kept looking around with his smart and bright eyes, and suddenly saw Xia Ziluo and Xiao Bai, standing on the chairs, waving their little hands, and shouting loudly.
"Baby, you are so good." The familiar voice and cute little face made Xia Ziluo full of energy. He threw Xiao Bai away and squeezed to the chair where Xia Baobao was standing.
"Mom, why are you here? Fortunately, my dear, I have taken a seat for you, but Daddy Fox can only stand." Xia Baobao pouted and chirped.
"I also wanted to come earlier, but Xiaobai came to see me for something at the last moment." Xia Ziluo coughed lightly, hiding the embarrassment on her face, and flattered her casually. She couldn't directly tell her precious son that she was delayed because of that.
time.
Xia Ziluo sat down as he spoke, and smiled and nodded to say hello to Niuniu's parents next to him. Xiaobai stood next to Xia Ziluo. At this time, the old housekeeper of Hongye Villa, who was the main person presiding over the treasure appreciation meeting,
The character walked up to the square platform built in the middle of the yard. Behind him was a servant, holding a yellow gong in his left hand and a gong stick in his right hand.
shouted.
"Please be quiet, everyone, the treasure appreciation event is about to begin."
As the servant's voice fell, the entire treasure appreciation venue fell silent. Everyone held their breath and waited quietly for the moment when the night pearl would bloom with dazzling brilliance.
On the square stage, the old butler put his hands behind his back, scanned the audience with his shrewd and sharp eyes, and his loud and powerful voice slowly floated out, echoing over the silent venue.
"Today is a happy day for Hongye Villa to hold a treasure appreciation conference. I would like to first thank all the people from all walks of life for coming to participate in this treasure appreciation conference. Here I would like to say sorry to everyone. Our owner of Hongye Villa has been injured because of his physical condition.
I can't come to host this treasure appreciation meeting, so I will handle the treasure appreciation meeting on my behalf."
The old butler paused, moved his beard, swept his sharp and shrewd eyes, and shouted in a voice like a bell: "Please, baby."
As soon as he finished speaking, a piece of wood suddenly loosened in the middle of the square platform that had hidden mysteries built in the middle of the yard. A small square of less than one square meter slowly rose up. The small square platform was covered with a piece of very textured wood. The thick black silk cloth. As the small square platform slowly rose, it immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the venue. They all stared at the thick black silk cloth, waiting for the black cloth to be lifted up, which was exciting. That scene.
Time passed by second by second, and finally the small square platform stopped rising. The old housekeeper walked to the edge of the small square platform with steady steps, slowly raised his hand, pinched a corner of the black silk cloth, and paused. After a pause, he glanced at the audience again. Everyone's eyes were expectant, some were glaring, and some people's eyes were dull and not very interested. Maybe they were just bored and came to Hongye Villa to join in the fun. But an inconspicuous corner With a strong sense of determination, he stared at the treasure covered under the black silk cloth.
On the stage, the old butler withdrew his glance, and when he lifted it, everyone in the venue remained motionless and looked at the stage with wide eyes. However, under the black cloth was a brocade box engraved with dragon and phoenix patterns, and the faces of everyone in the audience were waiting for it. Showing a hint of disappointment.
There was an uproar in the audience, and some impatient and rude people even shouted impatiently: "Old man, please move faster, don't play tricks on us, open the brocade box quickly, and let us see the brilliance of the night pearl."
Before the shout ended, the old butler pressed the mechanism on the brocade box, and the cleverly designed lid of the brocade box popped open automatically, and the luminous pearl placed inside also bounced up to the same level as the brocade box, emitting a strong and dazzling light. Emitting out, the entire treasure hunting venue was as bright as day, and even the dark corners were illuminated by this dazzling light.
Everyone in the audience looked at the night pearl as big as an egg and felt the strong and dazzling light. Their eyes were different, some were obsessed, some were greedy, and some were shocked...
While everyone was admiring the treasure, a masked black figure flew up from an inconspicuous corner, pointed his toes on the heads of the treasure appreciators, and headed straight for the square platform in the middle of the courtyard. The target was very clear, that is, the rare gem. Treasure Night Pearl.
When the figure of the man in black just appeared, several more people flew out from the crowd one after another, holding swords and pushing towards the man in black on the square platform. These people mixed in with the treasure appreciating guests were all red leaves. The purpose of the people in the villa is also to prevent anyone from having evil thoughts and thief intentions after seeing the treasure.
The treasure hunting venue was in chaos. People with mediocre martial arts skills fled outside the courtyard in panic. Originally, they only entered the village to open their eyes. It would not be worthwhile if they lost their lives. People with strong martial arts skills in the venue wanted to take advantage of the chaos. At that time, people were fishing in troubled waters and taking advantage of the situation to compete for this rare night pearl. Xia Ziluo was one of them.
Dozens of Hongye Villa guards on the square stage raised their swords and attacked the man in black. Xia Ziluo sat under the stage, picked up the teacup and calmly took a sip of the warm tea, then slowly put down the teacup. Suddenly, A sharp light flashed in his eyes. In order to avoid trouble in the future, he also pulled out a piece of black cloth and covered his face. He flashed towards the square platform as fast as the wind.
