Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

Chapter 481 Weighing the Gold Thread

Zhang Tietou and Huang Genwang, who followed closely behind, were naturally not willing to be outdone. They took two steps at a time and hurriedly followed Xu Damao into the room.

As soon as they stepped into the house, they were dazzled. It turned out that there were several lanterns in the house, which illuminated the whole room brightly and made people feel warm and comfortable.

"Come, please sit down!" Zhang Baotou made a gesture of invitation with a smile on his face, and the action looked very enthusiastic.

Xu Damao seemed a bit careless. Without saying a word, he sat down on the chair, as if this was his home and he was at ease.

At this moment, Zhang Tietou and Huang Genwang acted quickly. Like well-trained soldiers, they stood behind Xu Damao, one on the left and one on the right.

Their figures were as straight as pine trees, and their aura was majestic, just like Xu Damao's two loyal guards.

Especially this guy Zhang Tietou, he seemed to want to show off his strength deliberately.

He seemed to casually lift up his shirt a little, and in an instant, a small part of the box gun on his waist was exposed.

The box gun flashed a deep and cold light under the dim light, like the eyes of a ghost in the dark night, which made people shudder.

However, the cold light only flashed for a moment and was soon covered up by Zhang Tietou's clothes, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

Although the pistol on the waist was exposed for a very short time, even less than a second, the people in the room were no ordinary people.

Except for Yan Bugui, everyone else had sharp eyes. They almost caught the box gun on Zhang Tietou's waist at the same moment.

You know, in a closed room like this, this thing is much more lethal than those spears.

After all, a pistol is small and light, can be drawn quickly, and has an amazing firing rate. In comparison, in such a narrow space, a long gun is not as practical as a long knife.

At this time, Xu Damao cleared his throat and said, "Boss Zhang, there is no need for us to be polite. I'm sure you know the reason why I came here today. It's getting late, so let's finish this deal quickly. If we move quickly, we can go back and have a good sleep."

His words were crisp and clear, without any dragging of words.

Xu Damao was sitting on the large carved chair leisurely, with a meaningful smile on his face. He slowly stretched out his hands and gently opened the lid of the old wooden box.

As the lid was opened little by little, the scene inside the wooden box gradually appeared before everyone's eyes.

The stacks of brand new banknotes were neatly stacked together, seeming to emit an alluring glow, causing everyone present to open their eyes wide with expressions of surprise and greed.

"Great! Brother, you are such a straightforward person!" Zhang Baotou, who was standing aside, couldn't help but exclaimed in praise loudly when he saw this.

Then he turned around and shouted to Huang Erlu and Zhang Dazhu behind him: "You two, hurry up and move the things over to me. Remember to be careful and don't bump into anything!"

"Yes, boss!" Huang Erlu and Zhang Dazhu responded in unison, then quickly turned around and left the room. Not long after, two people came in panting, carrying a huge wooden box.

This wooden box is dark brown in color and is nearly two meters long!

At first glance, its thick wooden boards and heavy texture leave no doubt about the importance and preciousness of what is contained within.

Because the wooden box was so heavy, every step the two people carrying it took seemed extremely strenuous.

At this time, Zhang Baotou walked towards the wooden box and turned to Xu Damao beside him to explain: "Brother, I know this thing is an antique, so I specially asked a craftsman to build such a long box to properly store this treasure."

He took a breath and continued, "As for the scattered jade pieces that fell, I think you can guess what we brothers do."

It is not easy to take the antique out of the tomb. You have to do it carefully and slowly, and you will inevitably knock off some jade pieces."

After listening to what Zhang Baotou said, Xu Damao nodded thoughtfully to show his understanding.

Then he seemed to suddenly remember something and asked casually, "Well, Zhang Baotou, I wonder if you have ever weighed the gold inlaid on this wooden box?"

"It's hard to weigh, I can only give a rough estimate. You'll know when you take a look, brother."

Zhang Baotou walked quickly to the wooden box and reached out to open it impatiently.

In an instant, the items in the box were completely exposed to everyone - an exquisite gold and jade burial suit appeared in front of everyone.

This golden jade suit is woven entirely from gold threads and jade pieces, and is inlaid with countless pieces of warm and delicate jade, emitting a dazzling brilliance.

I saw that these golden filaments were tightly connected to the thin slices as smooth as jade. It was extremely difficult to weigh them individually, so they could only be peeled off from the jade slices.

"In my opinion, the gold contained in this must weigh nearly two kilograms!"

Zhang rubbed his head and said.

Hearing this, Xu Damao immediately suggested: "Oh, that won't work. How can we just rely on estimation? Doesn't Teacher Yan happen to have a piece of jade with gold threads? Why don't we take it out and weigh it carefully, and then count how many such gold threads there are in total. In this way, we can roughly calculate the specific weight."

"Zhang Baotou, let me calculate the weight of this gold. There shouldn't be any problem, right?"

Zhang Baotou waved his hand generously and responded loudly: "No problem, this is what should be done, brother, just let it go!"

After getting Zhang Baotou's consent, Yan Bugui, who was standing next to him, hurriedly took out an exquisite box from his arms, opened the lid, and inside lay a piece of jade inlaid with gold threads.

He carefully took it out and gently placed it on the table in front of him.

Upon seeing this, Xu Damao took a step forward without hesitation, stretched out his hands, and with his clever strength, he actually removed the gold wire wrapped around the jade piece with his bare hands.

Then, he put the jade piece without the gold thread back on the table, and handed the gold thread in his hand to Zhang Tietou, saying, "Please weigh it and see how heavy it is."

Zhang Tietou behind him nodded slightly without saying much. He took out a small and exquisite balance scale from his arms with swift movements, and then began to weigh the gold threads with full concentration.
