The Book of Appreciation

Hearing the sound above his head, Wu Di, who was full of thoughts about earthquakes and fires, was taken aback for a moment, and then, like a frightened rabbit, he jumped down from the bed with an unprecedented agility, and rushed to To the door of the bedroom.Boss, if you want to take action, at least let me know. Although this building only has two floors, if it really collapses, people will die!

He held on to the door frame, and carefully looked back at the desk lamp by the bed. With the help of the dim light coming in from the window, he saw that the desk lamp seemed to be still standing there, and the sound he heard just now disappeared. What happened? thing?Could it be that he used his brain too much and had hallucinations?

He put on a posture that he could rush out at any time, and looked up at the source of the sound.The ceiling is not cracked, there is nothing on the roof, and the roof is safe and sound... Fuck, Yan Ju, you old man, you have the nerve to wear an elephant-head cartoon!

wrong!Just seemed to have overlooked something!His gaze quickly returned to the ceiling, there was nothing but dust, but it was precisely the dust that gave him an excellent excuse, because on it, he found countless messy little footprints !Oh, there are mice!It's easy to have mice!

Yan Ju lay on his side on the bed, his limbs were drawn together, and he huddled tightly into a ball, as if he was cold, and he seemed to be holding something.In the darkness, a smile subconsciously rose from the corner of his mouth, becoming more and more obvious...Suddenly, he laughed twice in his sleep, and suddenly opened his eyes!Ka, where is the baby I just held? ***, who is this who doesn't sleep in the middle of the night and makes such a big noise?

He listened carefully, the voice seemed to come from next door, Wu Di?Is this kid demolishing the house?No, there can't be a thief, the two are fighting, right?

He hurriedly put on his pajamas, and rushed to Wu Di's door in three steps at a time.

"Xiao Wu, what's the matter? Open the door!"

A moment later, the disheveled Wu Di opened the door. Yan Ju looked at the plasterboard thrown on the floor, looked up at the ceiling where a big hole had been dug out, and said in astonishment:

"You kid is really demolishing the house!"

Wu Di wiped his face, the dust on his hands made his face gray and white, he grinned and said:

"Damn it, a few rats are fighting on the ceiling, making me think there's an earthquake! It's just right, you help me hold the stool, and I'll see if there is a rat's nest."

Yan Ju shook his head helplessly. It's quite normal for a thousand-year-old castle built in the barren mountains to have mice. You brat are making a fuss like this in the middle of the night, isn't it a bit of a fuss?

Wu Di smiled slightly, climbed onto the stool, stretched his arms into the ceiling, and swiped and pulled. I will let you know what real fuss is about later!

"I'm stuck, what is this?"

Yan Ju was absent-mindedly supporting the stacked stools, when he suddenly heard Wu Di's exclamation, he looked up quickly, just in time to see him take down a small box from the ceiling.No way, a box of mice?

Taking the box handed over by Wu Di, he weighed it lightly, it was a bit heavy, and there was something inside!

"I said dude, you should support me a little bit!"

While opening the box, Yan Ju turned his head and said with a smile:

"When I didn't come, you had already demolished other people's houses. Now you are pretending to be a good citizen? Come down quickly! Oh, the crown! There is actually a crown in here!"

Trembling, he raised the crown to his eyes, a hazy precious light rose up, reflecting his face red and white, why is the imperial crown of the Queen of England here?No, the crown is set with diamonds, not rubies...

With a light hand, the crown was taken away by Wu Di,

"Tsk tsk, didn't you hear that the queen's crown was lost? Could it be that the family's ugliness should not be publicized? Hey, tell me, after discovering such a big secret, the two of us won't be killed and silenced, right?"

"Destroy your head! Hurry up! Hurry up and restore the ceiling! I'll find something and hide this thing before I talk..."

Wu Di stared dumbfounded at Yan Ju who had already climbed onto the stool, man, is this how you wake up?Even if you take this thing away, you can only hide in the secret room and admire it secretly, right?Apart from the splendor of the queen's crown, it's nothing more than a pile of diamonds and gems, isn't it?

"As for what? Why don't you say that those porcelains are just a pile of dirt? Why don't you say that those furniture are just a pile of rotten wood? This thing, a peerless treasure! Look at the dust on this iron box, I'm afraid No one has touched it for a hundred years, so why did we hide it secretly? God does not take, but take the blame, this is the most reasonable saying of the ancestors!"

"What do you need to say? If I changed the place, I would have packed my pockets! But now we are guests at someone else's house, and then we found this thing on the beam of someone else's house. Do you really think it's okay to take it away?"

Yan Ju climbed off the stool clumsily, sat on the bed all at once, and said weakly:

"According to what you're saying, is this hard-earned treasure just returned to them for nothing?"

"How can this be called hard work? Besides, it's not a free return to them. Isn't the exchange condition still undiscussed? Hehe, tell me, if you were Augustus, I would give you this The crown is returned to you, will you still have the nerve to kill me in the next negotiation?"

Yan Ju's eyes lit up,

"Bring me the list, let me add a few more!"

Augustus was woken up by the old butler Parry in his sleep. When he heard that it was Wu Di who was looking for him urgently, he couldn't help asking in confusion:

"It's two o'clock in the middle of the night, do you know what's going on?"

Old Parry shook his head,

"I don't know, but he said it's a very important matter, and you must be present personally, sir."

Augustus hurriedly dressed, followed Parry, and came to Wu Di's guest room.As soon as I entered the door, I was shocked by the big hole in the ceiling. Could it be that the ceiling fell and hit someone?

He looked up and down Wu Di and Yan Ju standing behind him, it seemed that no one was injured...

"Mr. Augustus, I'm sorry to call you over so late. However, this matter is really important, and I think you should be notified as soon as possible, so I'm sorry."

Wu Di closed the door gently, glanced at Old Parry standing behind Augustus, and said:

"Mr. Augustus, before we get down to business, can I ask you a few questions?"

Augustus guessed for a long time, but he couldn't guess what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd. When he heard that he had a question to ask, he smiled, went to the sofa in the living room and sat down.

"Mr. Wu, please ask, if I know, I will definitely tell you the answer."

"Okay! Then, Mr. Augustus, is there any special relationship between your family and the British royal family?"

"Well, in 1832, King William IV of England married the most beautiful flower in the history of the Augustus family, Ada? Aphra? Augustus, that was the most glorious moment of the Augustus family !only……"

"It's just that because of the loss of the imperial crown, there was a huge crack in the relationship between the Augustus family and the British royal family, right?"

Augustus suddenly stood up from his seat, looked at Wu Di in horror, and said sharply:

"How do you know? Who are you? What is your purpose here?"

Wu Di smiled wryly and shook his head,

"How do I know? If it were you who found an imperial crown on the beam of this house, and the current owner of the room is obviously ignorant, you might also make this guess."

On the beam?Augustus glanced at the big hole in the ceiling, took a step forward happily, and whispered in a trembling voice:

"You...you mean you found the imperial crown on the beam? So, back then..."

Wu Di waited for two seconds, and regretfully found that he didn't seem to hear any gossip. He got up and took out the small iron box containing the crown from the cabinet, handed it to Augustus who was trembling with excitement, and said with a smile:

"Mr. Augustus, you can take this thing back and look at it slowly. As for us, don't worry, we haven't done anything, and we don't know anything."

Augustus took out the crown from the box with trembling hands, and stared at it obsessively. It wasn't until Old Parry gently tugged the corner of his clothes behind him that he suddenly woke up.

"Mr. Wu, thank you, thank you so much!"

He paused slightly, then asked:

"You said just now that the crown was found on a beam?"

Wu Di nodded, and roughly explained why he couldn't sleep because of the rats on the ceiling, how he planned to destroy the possible rat nest in a fit of anger, and then how he found the small iron box,

"Perhaps, your ancestors borrowed my hand to return this crown to the Augustus family..."

In a new guest room, when Wu Di was about to fall asleep in a daze, Yan Ju, who was lying next to him with his eyes wide open, touched him lightly,

"Xiao Wu, there seems to be mice in this room..."

Wu Di snorted twice, turned over and ignored him.Not long after, Yan Ju's voice came from next to his ear,

"Xiao Wu, do you think that Ida Augustus stole the crown and hid it there? If that's the case, the old guy might not dare to reveal it..."

"Xiao Wu, that diamond must be at least 50 carats, right? I'm so envious, I don't even have one over 5 carats..."

"Xiao Wu, you said that you know such an important matter, will we be directly killed and silenced later?"

"***, I'm going to kill you right now. It's already past three o'clock in the middle of the night. Did you mean it?"

In a secret room on the second floor, Augustus gently stroked the huge diamond on the crown, lost in thought.Because of Ada's marriage, the Augustus family reached the peak of glory in the history of the family. The old Augustus, the patriarch of the year, was once nominated as the commander of the invasion of China.But it was also because of Ida that the Augustus family was almost extinct a few years later, and she even lost the precious crown of the fourth family of William!

Now, the crown has been found in the family's castle, which also solves the mystery of the disappearance of the crown.But, what happened at that time, that the legendary smart Ada would do such a thing? (To be continued.)
