Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

After watching the group of people led by Zhang Baotou gradually go farther and farther away until they completely disappeared from the end of his sight, Xu Damao slowly walked towards where Zhang Tietou and Huang Genwang were.

He had an expression on his face that seemed nonchalant but actually had a deeper meaning. He stretched out his hand and quietly made a pistol shooting gesture.

Zhang Tietou, who was standing nearby, understood what he meant immediately when he saw this. He carefully took out the revolver from his waist, and then handed it to Xu Damao in an extremely secretive way without making any noise.

Xu Damao was like an experienced magician. He flipped his hand lightly and the Mauser pistol seemed to disappear out of thin air in the blink of an eye.

Huang Genwang, who witnessed this magical scene, also followed Zhang Tietou's example and handed the gun in his hand to Xu Damao just as quickly and cautiously.

After Xu Damao took the gun, he did the same thing again, making the second Mauser pistol disappear without a trace in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Tietou and Huang Genwang looked at each other and nodded in tacit understanding.

Then, Zhang Tietou nimbly got on the bicycle, while Huang Genwang sat steadily on the back seat.

Accompanied by a slight pedaling sound, the two of them rode their bicycles slowly and steadily away.

Their figures became increasingly blurred in the hazy night. Before long, they completely merged into the boundless darkness and disappeared without a trace.

At this time, Xu Damao turned his head and looked at Yan Bugui who was standing in the cold wind not far away, and shouted in a louder voice: "Teacher Yan, we don't know when the carriage will come to pick us up. It's freezing cold, you'd better go back first! What if you get frozen to death?"

Hearing Xu Damao's caring words, Yan Bugui quickly waved his hand and responded, "Da Mao, I don't feel cold at all. How about we wait together? After all, it's late at night, and I always feel a little scared walking alone at night. If we walk together, it will be better for me to take care of you, right?"

After saying that, a hint of hesitation appeared on Yan Bugui's face, and his feet seemed to have taken root, with no intention of leaving alone.

"How the hell am I going to put all these things into my personal space if you don't leave? This is really frustrating!"

Xu Damao muttered to himself in his heart, but his face remained expressionless.

His eyes rolled, and a plan came to his mind. He cleared his throat and said to Yan Bugui, "Teacher Yan, I won't go back with you. I plan to follow this carriage to a friend of mine. After all, these things belong to him, and his home is not close to where we live. It's quite far away, so don't worry about me and go back first."

I didn't want to make up lies to deceive Teacher Yan, but there was no other way at the moment. I could only get this difficult Teacher Yan away first.

Hearing what Xu Damao said, Yan Bugui frowned slightly, revealing a hint of doubt. He looked Xu Damao up and down, and seemed to not believe what he said, but he didn't dare to ask more questions.

After hesitating for a moment, Yan Bugui finally nodded and said slowly: "Okay, since you said so, I'll leave first, but you have to be careful and pay attention to safety!"

Xu Damao quickly responded with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Yan, I'm fine, and the same goes for you. Ride slowly and be careful along the way."

"Okay!" Yan Bugui responded, and got on his bike to leave. He pedaled hard, and the bike rushed out in an instant, at a fairly fast speed.

It looked like Yan Bugui couldn't wait to catch up with Zhang Tietou and Huang Genwang in front of him, and then go home with them.

Watching Yan Bugui's receding figure gradually disappear from his sight, Xu Damao was secretly delighted, thinking that he had finally gotten rid of this troublemaker.

He waited patiently for a few minutes, and after confirming that there was indeed no one around, he looked around cautiously.

After seeing that there were indeed no one around, the large wooden box on the ground and the two small wooden boxes in the basket suddenly disappeared out of thin air. Apparently, they had been put into his personal space.

After doing all this, Xu Damao clapped his hands with relief, a smile on his face. Today's work was finally done!

Then he walked slowly to his bicycle, got on the saddle, and rode leisurely towards the capital.

On the way, Xu Damao walked slowly and couldn't help but think of the golden cake he had just bought. The more he thought about it, the more familiar it seemed.

At this moment, suddenly, a dazzling light flashed across his mind, and Xu Damao seemed to be struck by this light. He was stunned. Then, as if he recalled something important, his brows furrowed tightly.

In my previous life, I seemed to have seen news about this kind of golden cake on TV.

As for the exact location, he couldn't quite remember it. It seemed to be near Chang'an, or perhaps in some other unknown remote place.

At that time, the workers there were busy building a road. Who could have imagined that they would dig out more than a hundred astonishing golden cakes on the hillside!

Moreover, these golden cakes are not ordinary. Each one weighs half a pound, and you can feel the heavy weight when you hold it in your hand.

It is almost the same size as the one Xu Damao just acquired, and even the appearance looks almost the same!

What is even more amazing is that after being identified by professionals, these gold cakes actually came from the distant Western Han Dynasty.

You know, the purity of gold in that era was really frighteningly high, reaching an astonishing 97% to 99%! It has to be said that the Western Han Dynasty was one of the dynasties with the most gold in history.

The reason why the Western Han Dynasty had such a huge gold reserve is obvious. On the one hand, the Western Han Dynasty successfully inherited all the wealth that the Qin Dynasty had plundered from various vassal states.

On the other hand, the Western Han Dynasty also had a well-developed mining industry, which was able to continuously dig out a large amount of gold resources. It was also based on this that the gold reserves of the Western Han Dynasty far exceeded those of other dynasties, making it a well-deserved "Golden Empire".

At the same time, due to the successful opening of the Silk Road.

The Western Han Dynasty was able to engage in large-scale trade with the Roman Empire and other European and Asian countries with its high-quality silk and a wide range of commodities, and in return received an astonishing amount of gold.
