Siheyuan: I stand for Xu Damao because he is my brother

That's great, why did Xu Dacan come here? Wasn't it just to live in this courtyard so that he could extract the so-called "space"?

After dinner, Xu Dacan and Damao started to clean up the west room.

I didn't expect Xu Damao to be quite good at hands-on work. Not only was he good at setting up the bed, he was also able to cover the door with wood.

After cleaning up, hang the curtain on the door and you will have your own little world. How nice.

I have to say, the meat is in the buns, not in the folds. Xu Damao’s life in this courtyard is really like this!

Even though he and Lou Xiao'e are not very ostentatious, in fact, when it comes to food, clothing and other expenses, even Yi Zhonghai, that eighth-level fitter who earns 99 yuan a month, cannot compare to his family.

The tea cups they usually use are all made of Dehua white porcelain, and the dining tables they use are all made of elm.

Lou Xiao'e had no concept of money. She had never taken any money!

As soon as Xu Dacan said he was going out to buy some daily necessities, she brought them all, all new.

Including a full set of pillows, bedding, toothpaste, towels, washbasins, kettles...

This saves him from having to go out and buy it.

No wonder in the TV series, when Xu Damao was bragging to Yu Haitang, he dared to say: "To tell you the truth, if I want to give a house like this, I can give it to you."

By the way, if I remember correctly, there are two “big yellow croakers” hidden under their bed, right?

Big yellow croaker is like a gold bar, weighing ten taels each. This weight is almost the same as the later mentioned 1 ounce, which is converted into the weight of 312.5 grams in later generations.

The "small yellow croaker" refers to small gold bars weighing one liang each, which is equivalent to 31.25 grams in later times.

But these have nothing to do with him. The most urgent task is to extract the so-called "space".

"..."

After cleaning up the house, Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e had just left the room when the voice in Xu Dacan's head popped up again: "We have reached No. 40, Nanluoguxiang. Do you want to extract the space? Yes/No?"

Xu Dacan firmly said in his heart: "Yes!"

Then, his mind came to a mysterious space.

The space here is about the size of a modern basketball court, with a ceiling height of at least 7 meters.

Now it is empty inside, the floor, the roof, and the surrounding walls are like mirrors, shining with a silvery glow but not reflecting human figures.

Xu Dacan strolled around inside and didn't find anything special about this space.

When he found a place that looked like a "door", a green toad with a pipe in its mouth and wearing an official hat appeared on the wall, which scared Xu Dacan!

"Was that you the voice in my head before?" Xu Dacan asked tentatively.

The toad nodded: "I am the golden toad."

Xu Dacan said bluntly: "But you are obviously cheating on me..."

The two whiskers on the toad's mouth were trembling, as if it was trying its best to endure: "That's because I'm trapped here. Hurry up and open this door and let me out, then I can be promoted to a golden cicada."

Xu Dacan scratched his head: "In other words, this space actually holds you captive, so you tried every means to get me here just to let you out?"

Toad said proudly: "Yes, I took care of your identity and your job, and I also left you such a large place. You should thank me!"

Ah, what happened to believing in science?

But Xu Dacan even encountered such an unscientific thing as time travel, so it doesn't matter...

"What is the use of this space?" Xu Dacan asked.

Toad squinted at 45 degrees, with a cold expression: "Putting something on the ground will turn it into something better."

Xu Dacan searched his body thoroughly, but found that he had brought nothing with him. He was so anxious that he scratched his head.

Toad couldn't bear to watch it anymore: "If you concentrate your mind, you can grab things from the real world. You can only take one thing at a time."

What a good thing! Xu Dacan immediately followed the instructions and concentrated his mind. Then, the wall of the space turned into the scene in his room at that moment.

When Xu Dacan came, he also brought a 2-year-old ginseng, which he originally intended to give to Damao to make wine.

But I didn’t have the chance to take it out just now, so now is a good time to try it out.

Just as Xu Dacan thought of the small ginseng, something appeared in his hand.

He quickly put the ginseng on the ground, and then he saw that the ginseng seemed to come alive and slid into the ground!

Then a piece of virtual text appeared on it: "Growing..."

"It will be big in the morning," explained the Toad.

And CDs? Trash!

Xu Dacan asked him: "Can anything be put in it?"

Toad gave him a disdainful look and disdained to answer the question.

Xu Dacan rolled his eyes and grabbed the oranges that his cheap father had bought on the platform when he came here.

When you put the orange on the ground, it breaks through the soil like ginseng, and then has an additional label of "growing".

Seeing this, Xu Dacan quickly took out a dollar and put it on the ground...

Then, you lost a dollar.

The money went into the ground and disappeared! It was such a big piece of money with a picture of a beautiful lady driving a tractor on it, and it just disappeared like that!

Xu Dacan wanted to cry.

The toad laughed so hard that his pipe fell off and his official hat tilted. He rubbed his belly and said to Xu Dacan, "Okay, you figure it out yourself. Open the door for me."

Xu Dacan came to the door with a dark face, looked at him and asked, "After you leave this door, can we meet again?"

Toad thought for a moment and said, "That probably won't happen. I don't belong to this world."

Xu Dacan sighed. It turned out that he thought too much and wanted too much...

The "door" that had sealed the toad for who knows how long was opened by Xu Dacan's light touch, and there was dead silence and darkness outside.

Toad picked up his pipe, put it back in his mouth, looked at him, and said, "Goodbye, then?"

Xu Dacan was also relieved, and waved at him with a smile: "Go away, I don't want to see you again."

The toad laughed loudly and jumped into the door, disappearing into the darkness where not even light could penetrate.

The door then seemed to have disappeared, slowly fading away and becoming a background exactly the same as the surroundings.

"..."

That night, Liu Haizhong came over.

He has a good relationship with Xu Damao. Or rather, the "elderly care team" headed by the deaf old lady, Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu, and Qin Huairu look down on him, and they control every aspect of this hospital.

In order to avoid being isolated by them, Liu Haizhong had no choice but to try every means to win over Xu Damao.

Damao introduced Xu Dacan and maintained a friendly appearance.

In the entire TV series, the person Xu Dacan hates the most is him.
