Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

"Well, you're right! But no matter how valuable this thing is, it can't be compared with the things in your donkey cart, right?"

Xu Damao snorted coldly, raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile. The reason why he wanted to let this guy see this little screen was actually to confirm whether the other party was telling the truth.

After all, this person had previously sworn that he was an expert in identifying objects. If he couldn't even tell the origin of such a small screen, he must be bragging.

When the time comes, after I have used him up, I can just bury him under the woods as fertilizer. He is of no use anyway.

Fortunately, this middle-aged man did have some real skills and successfully passed Xu Damao's test.

"This... I really like those things! Even if I take them to Taiwan, I will never sell them. I will only keep them for my own collection. Think about it, if I sell those things, wouldn't it be equivalent to exposing my identity? Alas~ As the saying goes, if you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself!"

The middle-aged man sighed again, his eyes flickering, as if there was something else behind his words.

"Well, in that case, you just wait here for a while! I will release you after I retrieve the gold bars and oceans that were lost. Remember, do not step out of the 20-meter radius of the wooden house. If something unexpected happens, don't blame me for not warning you in advance!"

After Xu Damao finished speaking, he left two oil paper packages and left as quickly as the wind. In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared outside the wooden house, leaving the middle-aged man standing in the wooden house like a sculpture.

In order to avoid arousing the suspicion of the middle-aged man, Xu Damao used a little trick to adjust the temperature inside the wooden house and set the day and night alternation time to be synchronized with the outside world.

Returning to the real world, Xu Damao felt no tiredness at all. After all, he had slept soundly the entire afternoon during the day.

He pushed out his bicycle and rushed towards the middle-aged man's residence without hesitation.

"If this person tells the truth, it's fine. For the sake of those gold bars and oceans, I can spare his life. However, if he dares to lie to me, humph! Under the forest in that space, there will be a lot of things that can be used as fertilizer!"

Xu Damao thought to himself as he rode his bike forward.

In this cramped space, the middle-aged man watched Xu Damao walking farther and farther away. After his figure disappeared from his sight, the middle-aged man still had no intention of getting up and leaving the wooden house.

He just silently reached out and opened the oil paper bag on the table. Inside was a roast chicken that had already been torn. Another oil paper bag contained a few sesame cakes. On the table next to him, there was a green kettle.

The middle-aged man didn't hesitate at all. He reached out and grabbed a chicken leg, put it in his mouth, took a big bite, and then chewed it slowly.

At this moment, he was filled with endless helplessness and anxiety: "It feels so bad to have my life and death completely controlled by someone else! I just hope that guy will keep his word and let me go in the end. He only came for the money."

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man picked up another pancake, opened his mouth wide and started eating it...

At the same time, Xu Damao was pedaling his bicycle quickly, rushing towards his destination - that is, where the middle-aged man lived. This small courtyard was located at the end of a narrow and dark alley, and a huge padlock was hung above the gate.

With the help of his excellent night vision, Xu Damao carefully looked at the house number on the wall next to the gate and nodded slightly to indicate that he had confirmed it.

"This should be the place, right? That guy couldn't be lying to me... Is there any danger in here?" Xu Damao stood there, muttering to himself.

He looked around cautiously, scanning everything around him. After a moment, he decided to put the bicycle into his personal space first, just in case.

Then, Xu Damao selected a wall as a breakthrough point. He took a deep breath, then leaped up, pushed his feet hard on the wall, and flew into the air like a light bird, easily crossed the wall, and landed silently in the yard.

Even in the quiet night, his movements made almost no sound.

After landing, Xu Damao turned around quickly and looked around the whole yard. He saw a main house and a side house, both doors were tightly closed and locked. According to the middle-aged man's confession, the thing he was looking for was hidden in the main house.

Xu Damao took out a shovel from his personal space and walked to the front door. He carefully lifted a brick on the ground and found a key hidden underneath.

"Hehe! I didn't expect this guy to be so honest. He actually hid a key here." Xu Damao was secretly happy and said to himself. He picked up the key and gently inserted it into the keyhole.

Xu Damao muttered to himself, picked up the key, and gently unlocked the main door. Then, he reached out and carefully used a shovel to pry the door open...

"Am I too sensitive? Or am I suffering from paranoia? Well, no matter what, it's better to be safe than sorry!" Looking at the door that was pushed open, Xu Damao smiled helplessly. He held the dagger tightly in one hand and the shovel tightly in the other, his face full of vigilance and alertness, and walked slowly into the room.

Within three meters, these two things are faster than pistols.

The room was empty, and Xu Damao was relieved. Following the instructions of the middle-aged man, he went to the inner room and dragged out an extremely heavy wooden box from under the bed. The wooden box looked very old, and there was a small and exquisite copper lock on it.

Xu Damao stood up and tried to recall the middle-aged man's words. He walked to the table next to him, opened the drawer, and carefully looked for the key. Finally, he found the key that matched the copper lock in the corner of the drawer. Xu Damao took the key without hesitation, inserted it into the keyhole and turned it. With a "click", the lock was successfully opened.

Xu Damao stood far away and carefully lifted the lid of the wooden box with a shovel. At the same time, he stared at the box intently, fearing that he would accidentally trigger some mechanism.

He prayed silently in his heart, hoping that there were no deadly things hidden in the box, such as a grenade that was pulled open by a mechanism, or the poison needles and poisonous smoke that often appeared in TV dramas, and other deadly mechanisms.

If I really encounter this situation, I have to hide in my personal space immediately.
