"This car is so big!"
"How can it move by itself?"
Boatman Wang Goudan saw the large Land Rover parked at the ferry point on the other side and excitedly rowed over to join in the excitent.
When he got to the shore, he saw the Land Rover rocking nonstop and, not having seen much of the world, he didn’t dare to get close, just standing on the boat, curiously watching.
"How co this car rocks like a boat, swaying so fiercely? There isn’t even any wind, besides, how strong would the wind have to be to move it?"
Wang Goudan muttered to himself.
"Little Shan, look."
Luo ili pinched the hardworking Zhang Xiaoshan.
Zhang Xiaoshan turned his head and through the glass saw Wang Goudan on the boat, sneaking peeks around.
"You, you hurry, it’s so embarrassing."
Luo ili’s face turned red with embarrassnt.
But Zhang Xiaoshan just gave a wicked smile.
"What’s there to be afraid of? The glass in this car is tinted, you can see clearly from the inside out, but not from the outside in."
"Really?" Luo ili was half-convinced.
Zhang Xiaoshan said.
"Why would I lie to you about this? Besides, doesn’t it feel even more thrilling this way?"
"You have no sha."
Luo ili complained coquettishly, while Zhang Xiaoshan took advantage of the mont to strike like thunder.
...
"Hey, why did it stop?"
Wang Goudan was pondering when the swaying of the car suddenly ca to a halt.
A few minutes passed.
The car door opened.
Seeing soone, Wang Goudan imdiately got scared and thought about leaving.
"Goudan, don’t be afraid, it’s ."
Zhang Xiaoshan called out to Wang Goudan as he fastened his belt.
"Eh, that voice sounds familiar."
Wang Goudan looked closely with confusion.
"Zhang Xiaoshan, wow, it’s you."
When Wang Goudan saw that the person getting out of the car was Zhang Xiaoshan, he dismissed the idea of leaving.
"Did, did your friend give you a lift back?"
Wang Goudan was very curious.
"Hehe."
Zhang Xiaoshan was counting on Wang Goudan’s help to carry out his next plan, so he told Wang Goudan,
"This is my own car, just bought it."
"What, yours?"
Wang Goudan was startled.
"Doesn’t this car cost at least one hundred thousand? No, I think it must be at least two hundred thousand?"
"You, you have that much money?"
Zhang Xiaoshan laughed and said.
"Two hundred thousand might get you a car’s rear end at best. Eight hundred thousand, I just picked it up today."
"Eight, eight hundred thousand?"
Wang Goudan trembled with fright.
"Damn it, Zhang Xiaoshan, don’t play with . The whole village’s savings don’t add up to eight hundred thousand. How could you have so much money to buy a car? You must be teasing ."
He truly couldn’t believe it. Eight hundred thousand was an unimaginable astronomical figure in White Dragon Village.
Zhang Xiaoshan made up an answer.
"Why would I lie to you? It’s really mine. I’ll tell you sothing, but you mustn’t tell anyone. I know you’re an honest person, that’s why I’m telling you."
"That’s for sure, just count on ," Wang Goudan assured, patting his chest.
Only then did Zhang Xiaoshan lower his voice and speak in a hushed, mysterious tone.
"A few days ago, I went into the mountains, and I found a ginseng in the back mountain, sold it for two million."
"What?"
"Ginseng?"
"And sold for two million?"
Wang Goudan looked shocked.
"Kid, you went into the back mountain?"
In White Dragon Village, the back mountain was absolutely a forbidden area. Everybody knew there were many treasures in the back mountain, but the risks were even greater. No one who entered had ever co out alive, so now, no one dared to go.
Zhang Xiaoshan nodded and said.
"Otherwise, where do you think I got all this money from?"
Upon reflection, Wang Goudan realized that Zhang Xiaoshan was a doctor and certainly familiar with dicinal herbs. Moreover, with his formidable skills, he could have defended himself in the mountain.
"Goodness, you struck it rich."
"Next ti, take with you."
"Sure, no problem."
Zhang Xiaoshan readily agreed.
At this mont, Luo ili, who had just redressed, also got out of the car.
Seeing Luo ili’s disheveled appearance, Wang Goudan suddenly understood why the car had been shaking incessantly earlier.
It seed the car really did belong to Zhang Xiaoshan.
"Little Shan, looks like you’ve got ga."
Wang Goudan’s eyes road greedily over Luo ili’s enticing body.
Luo ili glared at Wang Goudan.
"Keep staring and see if I won’t gouge your eyeballs out."
Towards any man other than Zhang Xiaoshan, Luo ili was utterly unapologetic.
"Heh heh."
Wang Goudan awkwardly averted his gaze.
"Take the money ho, it’s not safe here. We’ll go deposit it another day."
Luo ili picked up the rough sack of money and handed it to Zhang Xiaoshan.
"Alright, let’s head back then. Goudan Brother, thanks for giving us a ride."
"Here’s sothing for you."
As he spoke, Zhang Xiaoshan opened the mouth of the sack, took out a stack of bills, deliberately counted them several tis, and then handed five hundred to Wang Goudan.
At this mont, Wang Goudan’s gaze was locked onto the open hemp sack.
Money.
Bright red money.
A whole bag of it.
Wang Goudan had never seen so much money in his life.
No, it could be said that no one in White Dragon Village had ever seen this much money.
"What are you staring at?" Luo ili scolded Wang Goudan.
Wang Goudan snapped out of it.
"Ah, this, isn’t this a bit embarrassing?"
Looking at the five hundred yuan Zhang Xiaoshan had handed to him, his heart blossod with joy.
"Ah, why stand on ceremony with ."
Zhang Xiaoshan directly stuffed the five hundred yuan into Wang Goudan’s pocket.
"Goudan Brother, you go ahead and carry this for while I fetch sothing from the car."
Zhang Xiaoshan handed the sack to Wang Goudan and walked towards the Land Rover.
"Gurgle."
Wang Goudan held the sack of money, estimating it weighed around twenty to thirty pounds.
It felt incredibly heavy in his heart.
He was all the more convinced of Zhang Xiaoshan’s story about finding the old ginseng.
"The kid really struck it rich."
"I need to figure out a way to team up with Wei Bao and the others and scam this kid big ti."
"Heh heh."
Staring at the sack full of money in his hand, he was already cooking up so devious plans.
His smile didn’t escape Zhang Xiaoshan, who was putting on a show of searching for sothing in the car.
He wasn’t really looking for anything; he just wanted to give Wang Goudan a taste of handling so much money, then go and spread the word to Wei Bao.
"Eh, what’s this?"
Just as Zhang Xiaoshan was about to get off the car, he really did find a small briefcase under the passenger seat.
"Why does this case look familiar?"
