As night fell and the dinner dishes had just been cleared away, Yu Bai and his second brother Yunian walked out of the house one after another.

Yu Bai walked neither fast nor slow, and Yunian walked neither fast nor slow.

However, Yu Nian was carefully holding a wooden box that looked quite old in his arms. The box was not big, but seemed quite heavy.

Yu Nian held the box tightly with both hands, walked steadily, and looked focused, as if he was afraid that the box would fall.

And at the entrance of the village, which they had to pass through, in the familiar, lush grove, two stealthy figures were crouching in the dark shadows.

It was Yu Dongshun, who was dazzled by the gold bracelet during the day, and Old Man Yu.

The father and son lowered their bodies, and using the cover of the tree trunks, they stared intently at the two figures in the distance that were getting closer and closer.

"Dad, did you see clearly? That girl really went out of the village!"

Yu Dongshun lowered his voice, his tone revealing unconcealable excitement and greed.

However, mosquitoes are always rampant in the countryside on summer nights, especially in this dense and impenetrable grove.

Yu Dongshun was only wearing a sweatshirt and shorts, and his exposed arms and calves soon became a feast for mosquitoes.

After a while, he felt unbearably itchy all over his body. He couldn't help patting his arms and scratching his calves. The "pa pa" sound and rustling noise were particularly clear in the silent night.

"Behave yourself!"

Old Man Yu was already anxious, and his son's noise made him even more angry. He suppressed his anger and slapped Yu Dongshun on the back of the head.

Although Old Man Yu's slap wasn't very strong, it still made a slight "pa" sound.

Yu Dongshun is almost fifty years old, and he felt very aggrieved when he was slapped by his father who is over seventy years old.

He muttered, "Dad! These mosquitoes are biting me to death! I don't even want to move..."

The voice was full of frustration.

"You useless thing!" Old Man Yu glared at him with dismay, his spit nearly spraying in his face. "You can't even stand this little bit of suffering, and you still want to make a fortune?! If this little noise scares people away, I'll..."

He was so angry that he raised his hand again, pretending to hit.

Yu Dongshun was so scared that his neck shrank and he dodged to the side swiftly, barely avoiding the second blow.

Although this little drama of "loving father and filial son" in the woods took place under the cover of darkness, the two of them deliberately lowered their voices.

However, it still fell into the eyes and ears of Yu Bai and Yunian without any error.

Thanks to the crystal core.

They not only improved the physical fitness of Yu Bai's family, but also strengthened their five senses, especially vision and hearing.

Old Man Yu's angry growl, Yu Dongshun's aggrieved muttering, even the buzzing sound of mosquitoes flapping their wings and the dull sound of slaps landing on flesh were all extremely clear.

Yu Nian raised his lips in an imperceptible sneer and looked at his sister in front of him.

There was no expression on Yu Bai's face, and his eyes were calm, as if he had just seen two insects jumping in vain in the night.

Because all this was within her expectations.

So what's next...

It's time to reveal deeper and more tempting "treasures".

Walking to the edge of the dark grove, Yu Nian, holding the wooden box, suddenly lowered his voice, but deliberately raised it a little to ensure that the volume could "just right" float into the darkness not far away:

"Xiaobai, tell me...how much is this box of 'treasures' of ours worth?"

Yu Bai, who was walking in front, paused slightly, turned around quickly, put his index finger to his lips, made a standard "hush" gesture, frowned slightly, and spoke with a hint of anger.

"Second brother! Keep your voice down!"

She paused, as if she was weighing things, or recalling something, and then spoke in a tone that sounded both like she was talking to herself and like she was reassuring her second brother.

"If we really want to make a move, the minimum amount should be this."

She quickly made a "five" gesture, then lowered her voice a little: "Be safe, there will always be 30 or 40 million. Have you forgotten? Last time, my brother and I sold those two pairs of Qin Banliang alone for 8 million!"

“Eight hundred…?!”

A short and completely suppressed cry, like thunder from the blue sky, suddenly sounded from the depths of the woods!

It’s Yu Dongshun!

He was obviously so overwhelmed by the number that he completely forgot to hide.

But the scream was only half uttered before an old and strong hand covered his mouth tightly.

"What's that sound?"

Yu Bai immediately stopped and turned his head sharply to look towards the woods, with just the right amount of vigilance and confusion on his face.

"Second brother, did you hear that?"

Yu Nian also stopped and held the wooden box in his arms tighter. He listened attentively and then guessed uncertainly.

"Hmm? It seems... the sound is a bit sharp... Are there wild cats fighting somewhere?"

As soon as he finished speaking, before Yu Bai could respond, a dry and hoarse "meow-meow" sound, with a tone that seemed to be reaching the horizon, suddenly and with all its might rang out from the depths of the woods.

The sound was more like that of an old man in his seventies or eighties with a mouthful of phlegm stuck in his throat, trying to imitate the movements of an adolescent male cat, revealing an indescribable sense of guilt, clumsiness and funnyness.

“…”

Even though Yu Bai was determined and Yu Nian's acting skills were excellent, they almost broke down on the spot after hearing this disastrous imitation.

They exchanged a quick glance, each with a flicker of suppressed laughter in their eyes.

"I guess so, Third Brother, let's go quickly, Professor Li is still waiting!"
