Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

Not long after Zhang Qiling, Hua Yu and others boarded the ship, a tavern riot broke out in Germany.

Hua Yu was feeling a bit bored staying in the room and planned to go out for a walk on the ship bound for China. But before he left the cabin, Qi Longdong stopped him and said he wanted to take him to do something different.

Hua Yu was taken to Qi Longdong's room, along with Uncle Tai and a guard.

The three of them sat in Qi Longdong's room, watching Qi Longdong take out the tag like a magic trick.

"Come on, come on, now that we are in China, we must know how to do this. Anyway, we are drifting on the sea now and have nothing to do, so let's play mahjong to relieve our boredom."

Qi Longdong pulled Hua Yu and the other two, pressed them down on their chairs one by one, and then explained the rules to them.

"However, we also need to have a little bit of that thing, Uncle Tai, you know." Qi Longdong rubbed two fingers and looked at Uncle Tai.

Uncle Tai was choked by Qi Longdong's action, and then looked at Hua Yu who was excited.

"know."

"Uncle Tai, what is it?" Hua Yu had never come across this kind of thing before, and she looked at Uncle Tai and Qi Longdong playing dumb in confusion.

"money."

"What is money?" When Hua Yu went out to buy things, after he got the things, either Zhang Qiling or the guards behind him would pay the bill for him. He never touched money at all.

"Young master, you are so uninitiated that you don't even know money." Qi Longdong has been living in Hua Yu and Zhang Qiling's home for some time. He knows how these people pamper Hua Yu, but he didn't expect that Hua Yu has never even touched money.

"I don't know. When I went out to buy things, the waiters didn't tell me." Hua Yu shook her head and looked at Qi Longdong.

"Money is, is, how should I put it. It is something valuable." Qi Longdong didn't know how to say it.

"Oh. I see. Is this it?" Hua Yu suddenly took out a wooden box that was five inches long and six inches wide. (Five inches ≈ 16.67 cm, six inches ≈ 20 cm)

"Wow, young master is so generous, Hainan Huanghuali." Even the sunglasses Qi Longdong wore could not hide the gleam in his eyes.

Hua Yu's next move made Qi Longdong drool.

I saw that the wooden box was filled with pearls as big as a woman's thumb. Each pearl was full and round, and all of them looked the same size to the naked eye.

"Is this it?" Hua Yu showed the box to Qi Longdong, and Qi Longdong's drool was almost dripping onto the ground.

After hearing what Hua Yu said, Qi Longdong nodded repeatedly, "Yes, that's it."

Uncle Tai was so angry at Qi Longdong's shameless behavior that his nose almost became crooked.

"What about you? Does your money look like this too?" Hua Yu asked a heart-wrenching question. Qi Longdong covered his heart with his hands, leaned back in his chair, and cried.

"I do not have."

Hua Yu grabbed a handful, about five or six, and handed them to Qi Longdong, and then grabbed a handful for Uncle Tai and the guard.

"Then I'll give you some."

Qi Longdong instantly perked up, took the pearls, and said, "Thank you, boss. You are so generous."

Uncle Tai and the guard wanted to refuse, but seeing Hua Yu's pouting mouth, they could only take the pearls that Hua Yu handed over.

Led by Qi Longdong, the four of them started playing Mahjong. Qi Longdong wanted to win all the pearls in Hua Yu's box, but he could not compete with the experienced Uncle Tai on his side. As soon as he won against Hua Yu, he would lose to Hua Yu, and then win the pearls back from him. It was a vicious circle.

"Young master, where do you get all these pearls from?" Qi Longdong asked about the source of the pearls while playing mahjong.

"My father stuffed it into my hands. My father said it was worthless. It's the smallest pearl my father stuffed into my hands."

Hua Yu looked at her cards, not knowing how to play. She glanced at the table and threw a card casually.

"Is this still the smallest one?" After hearing Hua Yu's words, Qi Longdong looked at the pearl on the table.

"Yes, I also have ones as big as a fist. If you want them, I'll give you a few to play with marbles later." Hua Yu looked at Qi Longdong in confusion as his expression suddenly changed.

Coincidentally, Zhang Qiling, who couldn't find Hua Yu in the room, heard Hua Yu's voice when passing by Qi Longdong's room. He opened the door and saw four people playing Mahjong around the table.

"Brother, are you done? Come and help me." Hua Yu looked at Zhang Qiling, whom he had not seen since he opened his eyes, then looked at the cards in his hand, and hurriedly sought Zhang Qiling's help.

Zhang Qiling walked over and sat on the armrest of Hua Yu's chair, looking at the messy cards in Hua Yu's hand, and then looked at the situation on the table.

"Little sir."

Qi Longdong saw Zhang Qiling coming to protect his child, then looked at the dozen pearls in his hand, thought about it, forget it, anyway, he had made a profit, so he would not come.

"Oh, Patriarch Zhang is here. It seems we can't play anymore. I'd better go to the deck and look at the sea." With that, Qi Longdong stood up and slipped away with the pearls.

Hua Yu realized belatedly that the big black rat had slipped away, then looked at Zhang Qiling.

"elder brother."

"Let's go back." Zhang Qiling picked up Hua Yu and left Qi Longdong's room.

Uncle Tai and the guard left Qi Longdong's room holding a few pearls in their hands.
