"When it comes to escorting caravans and passengers, you must follow the previous rules of Xialin Village, including the itinerary, date, remuneration, etc. All remain the same! Before I come, the escort team will be temporarily led by Yang Chengwu! Do you understand?"
"yes, Sir!"
"We all listen to Brother Yang!"
Naturally, everyone had no objection to this.
Next, Huang An gave careful instructions for about ten minutes, then sent everyone out and asked them to wait outside the door.
He left Yang Chengwu alone in the house. Obviously, he had some private matters that he wanted to explain to Yang Chengwu.
Yang Chengwu closed the door of the room, gave Huang An a cup of hot tea, then walked to a small box, opened the box, and took out a small package.
Walking to Huang An, he held his hands in his hands and said respectfully to Huang An:
"This is the escort money we got this time. There are 136 taels in total. All of them have been exchanged for one tael of broken silver."
Huang An looked at this extremely respectful "senior brother" in surprise, then reached out and casually took down the package containing the silver, without even looking at it, and placed it directly on the table.
The dull sound of silver hitting the table reminded Huang An of the two days of hard work, especially the hard and miserable scene where he personally carried the goods several times on that road.
Huang An shook his head, glanced at the small package, and sighed with a hint of disgust:
"It's not easy to make money here!"
Hearing Huang An's complaints, Yang Chengwu didn't know what to say for a while.
It seems that it is not difficult to earn this money, right?
It only took two days of walking. Although the road was a little difficult and there was muddy water, we actually didn't encounter any big dangers.
Compared to digging for money in the dirt or earning money with your head stuck in the belt of a frontier soldier, these 136 taels can be said to be very easy to come by.
He knew that his eldest brother had the support of a master and could earn money very quickly.
However, isn’t this 136 taels of silver already a lot?
If you add another four taels of silver, you can buy seven cans of Guiyuan Soup.
However, he did not refute, and whatever the elder brother said was whatever he said.
While Yang Chengwu brought the money, he also took out a small dark yellow account book from his arms.
At this moment, the account book was quietly placed in Huang An's palm.
"Brother, this account book records the money obtained from this escort mission. Every customer's information is recorded in it."
Yang Chengwu explained in detail.
It turns out to be this.
Huang An's eyebrows blinked twice, indicating that he understood.
He reached out to take the account book, opened it and looked at it for about five breaths, and then thought about Yang Chengwu's arrangements in his mind.
After quickly going through the arrangement plan in his mind, he nodded, patted Yang Chengwu on the shoulder, and encouraged:
"Senior brother, I'll be at ease if you do things!"
Huang An touched his chin, raised his head, drank the last sip of tea, then stood up and placed the teacup on the table.
"Wait a moment!"
Then, he walked directly outside the house.
Not long after, he came out with a package in his hand.
After closing the door again, Huang An placed the package on the table with a muffled sound, and then sat down again.
silver?
Moreover, it is a lot of silver, at least three hundred taels!
Yang Chengwu was very familiar with this voice.
Huang An didn't hide it, he opened the package directly, revealing the white silver ingots inside.
They are all five taels of silver ingots.
Then he poured the broken silver that Yang Chengwu had just put down into it.
"These are 636 taels of silver in total. You can take them back together and give them all to the two stewards. There are too many things to do in the village and the stalls are large. If the silver I left behind is not enough, it can be used for emergencies."
After saying that, he directly pushed the unfolded package in front of Yang Chengwu.
"Just keep track of the accounts!"
"This this....."
Yang Chengwu looked at the silver in front of him, then looked up at Huang An, his eyes full of disbelief.
He couldn't believe that his eldest brother trusted him so much that he could directly hand over so much money to him.
636 taels of silver, who wouldn’t be tempted?
Last year, this amount of money would have taken him at least thirty years to save.
During this period, he couldn't even practice martial arts or drink flower wine to save up.
Brother, just leave it to him directly, aren't you afraid that he will run away?
Although he was told to keep accounts, Yang Chengwu knew that accounts could be falsified and their credibility was very low.
Big brother, you actually trust him so much?
Yang Chengwu was even a little scared. He had only been with his eldest brother for less than three months. Could he be worthy of his eldest brother's trust?
He has no confidence in himself!
Looking at Yang Chengwu who looked surprised and frightened, Huang An's expression did not change. Of course, his eyes narrowed slightly.
He smiled nonchalantly:
"You don't trust those who employ you, and you don't trust those who doubt you. You and I, brothers, come from the same sect. Now that we are working together, how can we not trust our senior brother?"
Yang Chengwu's mentality gradually returned a lot under Huang An's chuckle.
One thought can make you a Buddha, and one thought can make you a demon. Likewise, whether you trust or not, whether your thoughts are firm or not, are also within a single thought.
Huang An continued:
"At the beginning of next month, Master will be getting married. Then we, two brothers, will go together to congratulate Master!"
master?
Big wedding!
Hearing Huang An mention his master, Yang Chengwu trembled all over, like a drowning man taking his first breath of fresh air after coming ashore.
He deserves big brother's trust.
Brother, treat me with sincerity, and I will repay you with sincerity!
He immediately promised:
"Thank you for your trust, brother. I will definitely keep this money safe!"
After speaking, he looked at Huang An firmly.
"Ha ha!"
Huang An laughed, stood up, patted his shoulder, and walked outside the house.
"Of course I believe senior brother!"
"Then I'll leave first. Brothers, it's up to you to distribute the reward and subsidies yourself!"
Huang An gave Yang Chengwu great autonomy.
With a bang, the door opened, and a beam of bright sunshine came in, shining on Yang Chengwu's face, neck, and eyes.
The room suddenly became brighter, and his mood also became brighter.
Looking at the five hundred taels of silver in front of him, Yang Chengwu licked his lips and swallowed. The greed in his heart was firmly buried deep in his heart.
Faced with Huang An's almost unlimited trust, I was moved and couldn't help but feel emotional and grateful.
With a faint look in his eyes, he collected the money and muttered to himself in a daze:
"Senior Brother, Senior Brother, if you hadn't been greedy and had ill intentions towards my junior brother, where would my position, Yang Chengwu, be in Linzhai now? You have even become a high-ranking Bronze Skin Realm warrior.
Not sure. What a blessing!"
At this moment, his senior brother Pang Han appeared again in his mind, who was always beside his master, riding in front of him and behind the horse.
After putting the money away, I thought for a while, then lay down on the table to write and draw, and after some calculations, I took out some broken silver and copper coins that I had already calculated from the package.
Put all the remaining silver in a small wooden box and hide it.
Afterwards, Yang Chengwu opened the door and walked outside the courtyard.
Seeing all the brothers looking at him, he immediately coughed slightly to attract everyone's attention, and then said loudly:
"Ahem! Listen to me! Big brother sympathizes with the fact that I am tired from the journey, so I have distributed the subsidy money for this trip in advance. I will distribute it to all the brothers."
"There is also a silver reward. Big brother also wants me to give it to you. It's all there. It's all there. Don't grab it. Don't be in a hurry. Line up to get the money!"
...
After arranging things for Xia Linzhai, Huang An went directly back to his small courtyard.
He devoted his whole heart to the wolf-shaped body-building method and the rubbish dump of all realms.
A whole day passed without success.
I woke up on the third day, finished my martial arts training, and went shopping for treasure again.
Another fifteen hours passed, and Huang An, whose eyes were bloodshot, finally took off his protective clothing with a disappointed look on his face and lay down on the bed in the small courtyard of Youzhou City.
Returned without success.
These fifteen hours today are almost exactly the same as yesterday.
In addition to practicing martial arts, eating, drinking, and defecating, he was also diligently searching for treasures and cleaning up countless garbage.
This month's cleaning tasks have been exceeded, but I still haven't found anything useful for martial arts.
Before falling asleep, Huang An learned from the pain and felt that he had fallen into a demonic state.
Garbage is garbage. What treasures can be found in the garbage heap?
He shouldn't have had such high hopes.
Tomorrow, I won’t do it tomorrow!
However, he got up at eight o'clock in the morning on the fourth day. After practicing martial arts, he disappeared directly into the courtyard and appeared in the square of the Wanjie Garbage Dump.
"Let's do it! Anyway, there's nothing wrong these days, and the master didn't come to see me. Let's try our luck!"
Needless to say, although I didn't find anything useful for martial arts, I still found a lot of various materials, books, calligraphy and paintings.
At noon, Huang An poured the last shovelful of black mud into the garbage entrance and was about to take off his protective clothing when suddenly.
"Boom!"
A roar came from above the head, and the hard floor beneath his feet seemed to be vibrating at an extremely high frequency.
Huang An had just reacted when he saw a large gray hole suddenly appear in the space above the top of the garbage mountain in front of him.
Then, overwhelming garbage poured downward from the cavity.
Huang An's eyes lit up and he said in surprise:
"New crap?"
This is the second time he has seen this vision of taking out garbage since he had the opportunity to get to the garbage dump of all realms.
There seems to be no end to the new garbage, like the water of a long river pouring back. I don't know how long it will take.
Huang An stood for a while, but still showed no intention of stopping. As soon as his footsteps moved, he was about to leave.
Sudden.
"Gululu!"
A cylindrical object rolled down from the garbage mountain and rolled directly to Huang An's feet.
Huang An glanced at it subconsciously and was about to leave.
"Huh?"
His eyes suddenly lit up.
[The lost scroll: unknown item. Exchange value: 20kg gold?]
This is the briefest introduction Huang An has ever seen.
20kg gold!
Huang An was surprised, but what made him even more surprised was that "unknown item" was in big letters!
Unknown item?
The Eye of Insight claims to be able to see through all garbage.
But now, an unknown thing has appeared.
They didn't even see the exchange value, and instead gave a tentative price of 20kg of gold.
20kg of gold, this is the most valuable item Huang An has obtained so far.
Even the black stick that was said to have mysterious uses that I got last time was less than half of the exchange value of this unknown scroll.
However, Huang An's attention now is not on this inexplicable rolled up scroll, but on the origin of this scroll.
It suddenly appeared just before I was about to give up.
