Xing Lizheng took it reluctantly and read it aloud.
The general idea is that if the items left at your home are damaged or lost, you will have to compensate for them according to the price.
When Xingshan heard that the golden Buddha was worth 1,000 taels in the contract, he hesitated. If he lost it, his life would not be enough to compensate for it.
At this time, a villager nearby said, "Sir, you should change someone else. This old Xing family member is unreliable."
Xing Shan said angrily, "Why am I unreliable? I work honestly and behave myself, which is much better than a thief like you."
“Eh…”
The villager wanted to retort, but the young man said, "Please forgive me, I am really in a hurry. If you have no objection, we have to set off as soon as possible."
Xing Shan said, "Then maybe it was inspected before being stored?"
The man nodded and said, "Of course, the stuff isn't big, but I'm afraid of encountering bandits. I shouldn't have taken this route, it's just a lot of trouble."
After saying that, the man took Xingshan with him to examine the golden Buddha next to the carriage.
A finely crafted, antique sandalwood box with a small lock on the outside. After the man opened it, he found that the inside was wrapped in layers of silk and white cotton. He carefully lifted the covering, and a six-inch-tall exquisite Buddha statue appeared in front of Xingshan.
The man wrapped the golden Buddha in silk and held it up for Xingshan to take a closer look. The golden light made people's eyes blurry.
The few people who were peeping were also stunned. They had never seen such a large pile of gold in their lives.
Xingshan confirmed that everything was correct, signed the contract, and moved the box back home with the man.
Before leaving, the man bowed to Xingshan and said, "It will take at most ten days to get to the county town, or at least three days. I'd like to trouble you to keep it safe for me."
"Sure, sure!" Xing Shan assured quickly.
After the carriage drove away, the coachman with a turban on his headscarf got out and sat down.
"How about it, my acting is pretty good, right?" Erguotou, who was dressed as a wealthy businessman, laughed.
The groom tore off his veil, revealing a scar on his face.
Duan Yidao said, "Don't be so cocky. Remember, you are not allowed to tell anyone about this!"
"Don't worry, your eldest disciple keeps his mouth shut!" Erguotou said, shaking his head.
Duan Yidao also smiled and said, "It's really good. If it weren't for the New Year, I would really like to stay and watch the show."
Erguotou looked at the carriage ahead and asked curiously, "Master, how did this Xing Er provoke you that you used such a cruel trick?"
"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask!" Duan Yidao said seriously.
