“They are his and you are yours.
The leader asked me to bring this to you, so go and have fun."
As the old Taoist said this, he took out a land deed and gave it to Zhang Xudong.
"Hey, this is a quadrangle courtyard at the foot of the imperial city wall in Beidu, and it has two entrances.
But Master Dao, I'm not going to Beidu, so is this thing useful to me?"
Zhang Xudong looked at the deed and said, "This courtyard house in Huangchenggen is indeed a good thing."
But who will be able to keep this thing in a few years? It will all be blocked out.
"Why is it useless? When did you go to the capital? Wouldn't you have a ready-made place to stay?

"What's wrong? There's nothing wrong with this." Zhang Xudong said after looking through the bag.
"The more I use this thing, the smaller the space inside becomes, and now it's almost impossible to open.
I've tried soaking it in hot water, cold water, well water, river water, and even sugar water, but it's no use.
I have no choice but to come to your house to get water."
