"Oh? That's possible, but I find it too much trouble. Who knows if you're up to some trick or some kind of delaying scheme?" Hong Xiaoduo said dismissively.
"I have nothing. If you agree, I can give it to you right now. Money is just an external thing; saving your life is more important." Shen Qian sensed hope in her tone and quickly replied.
"You can give it to me now? You don't carry it with you at all times, do you?" Hong Xiaoduo asked, somewhat surprised.
“There’s no other way. Anything can happen in this business. Having it with you means you can go anywhere else at any time. I should still have a few hundred taels at my resting place. If you want some too, I can tell you the address and take you there to get it,” Shen Qian said with a wry smile.
Hong Xiaoduo thought for a moment and said, "Since you're so honest, then fine. But I don't want those few hundred taels. One shouldn't be too greedy."

Seeing that she had accepted the gold notes, Shen Qian was unwilling, but he resigned himself to his fate and picked up the two hammers on the ground. So what if he lost an arm? He still had another arm. As long as he was alive, he could still save up the five thousand taels of gold.
The mandarin duck hammers were a bit heavy, and it was a bit strenuous to hold both with one hand. After walking to his mount, he put the hammers into the saddlebags by the saddle, grabbed the reins, stepped on the stirrups, and mounted the horse.
You brat, I've memorized your face, and I'll get my revenge sooner or later. But you haven't even seen what I look like yet...
