Victoria took out a few golden playing cards, facing down, with only the golden patterns on the back visible.

"Come on, take one each." Victoria came to the player.

The draw was all about luck, so no one thought too much about it.

"Strange, what does this mean? I drew a green house."

Lao Mo was the first to draw a card. He looked at the card and saw a green house.

He originally thought that the card would have international poker numbers, grouped according to clubs and diamonds.

But there was a picture like this on the card.

A green house full of weird style.

Uncle Li also showed the card face: "I am also a green house, we should be in the same group."

Soon after, others also showed their cards one after another.

There is a house on each card, the only difference is the color.

"I am white." Tang Weiqi said.

Aunt Wang's eyes lit up: "Young man, then we should be a team."

Only Xiao Huai and Lu Yuanshi did not show their cards.

It was obvious that the two of them were a team.

Victoria's eyes showed a hint of teasing, "Oh, you two should be the red house."

Xiao Huai lowered his eyes and looked at the playing cards.

Just as Victoria said, it was indeed a red house.

"What's wrong with a red house?" Lao Mo was really curious about the colors of these houses.

Victoria smiled and said, "How could that be? It's just a different color."

There was a hint of something complicated in his tone.

Xiao Huai looked at Victoria quietly. Most of what she said was unbelievable.

Lu Yuanshi came forward and said, "We are a team. Can you take good care of me?"

When Xiao Huai looked up at Lu Yuan, his eyes were indifferent.

Lu Yuanshi pointed to his injured right shoulder and said, "It's still aching here. It's even difficult for me to eat, bathe, and sleep..."

His tone and demeanor seemed to be implicitly accusing a "sea scumbag" of irresponsible behavior.

Xiao Huai lowered his head and didn't speak for a long time.

When Lu Yuanshi thought he was just going to get away with it, a warm black coat was draped over him.

Xiao Huai handed him another scarf.

His thin lips parted slightly: "I'm not good at protecting or taking care of people."

He looked at the heavy snow falling in the distance and said calmly, "All I know is that if you're hurting, you should see a doctor; if you're hungry, you should eat; if you're cold, you should put on more clothes. I'm not a doctor, so I can only make sure you don't feel so cold."

Lu Yuanshi was stunned for a moment, looked at him deeply, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

He took the scarf that Xiao Huai handed to him, wrapped it around his neck, and seemed to be muttering something, but his voice was too soft for Xiao Huai to hear.

-

Diamond Town is very strange. When a group of people leave the train station, the residents of the town always look at them inexplicably.

Some people had horror in their eyes, while others had sympathy in their eyes.

"Mom, are they the temporary workers hired by the Earl? Then are they..." The little boy was interrupted by his mother beside him.

"Shh, don't look at them, let's go."

A mother and son talked in low voices and walked away quickly with big strides.

The town is not well developed, there are no high-rise buildings, low houses are intertwined together, and many shops have notices of for rent posted on them.

There are not many original residents in the town, and the overall environment is relatively backward.

The temporary workers live in the westernmost and most remote manor in Diamond Town.

Several black cars were already waiting for them outside the station, and it took a long time to reach the manor.

They were required to wear blindfolds throughout the trip, so they didn't even know the way to the town center.

Victoria's voice reached her ears. "Welcome everyone to Diamond Manor. For the next seven days, you will live here and design the most beautiful diamonds. The Earl is usually very busy and doesn't come here often, but I am warning you. Even if the Earl doesn't come, don't try to go to the Earl's room. The Earl is a mysophobe and doesn't like outsiders to go to his room."

Taking off the blindfold, the golden scales slowly dissipated from the eastern sky, and the afterglow of the sunset poured into my eyes.

After getting off the car, Victoria pushed open the iron gate leading to the manor. The weeds on the ground showed no signs of being trimmed by any servants. The scent of green leaves and soil filled the entire manor.

The huge manor has three floors. Victoria introduced that the entire third floor is the earl's residence and outsiders are not allowed to enter. The second floor is their lounge, and there are three studios on the first floor.

"I have placed the rough diamonds in the studio for you. I hope you will have designed your own works when we meet again next time." Victoria gracefully bowed slightly to them and left the villa.

The men in black were nowhere to be found at this time. Victoria said that they only came once a day and only delivered some daily necessities at the door.

Players are responsible for their own daily life. If they need anything, they just need to write down the required directory and put it in the mailbox. Someone will deliver the items to the studio the next day.

Without any NPCs in the manor, it seemed particularly empty.

Everyone had been on the train all day and was a little tired, so Tang Weiqi suggested, "How about we rest tonight and discuss a way to get through customs tomorrow morning?"

Many people deeply agree with the long journey.

There were many rooms on the second floor. Xiao Huai randomly found a room, took a shower and changed into clean clothes. Just when he was about to lie down on the bed to rest, there was a knock on the door.

"Dong dong dong."

There was no peephole on the door, so Xiao Huai couldn't see who was outside from inside the room.

"Who?"

"it's me."

Lu Yuanshi's voice came from outside the door.

Xiao Huai slowly opened the door a crack and vaguely sensed a trace of moisture and a smell of blood.

Lu Yuanshi was wearing a bathrobe, and there was a large red spot on his shoulder. Upon closer inspection, it was the traces left by blood diluted by water.

Xiao Huai opened the door, looked at him, and frowned: "You..."

"The wound has split open." Lu Yuanshi answered indifferently.

Don't you know that wounds shouldn't come into contact with water, especially hot water?

Xiao Huai did not speak out the question in his mind. He turned sideways, walked forward casually, and made a gesture to come over.

"Come in, I'll help you treat your wound."

There was a medicine box in the room. Xiao Huai picked up the medicine box from the bedside and looked at Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuanshi was already sitting on his bed at this time. Because he had just taken a shower, the moisture on his body had not been wiped off yet, so half of his quilt was wet.

Xiao Huai sighed inwardly, too lazy to care about these details. He opened the medicine box, bent down and wiped his wound with a cotton ball.
