Siheyuan: The more excited you are, the more excited I am

"Who said the elixir is gone? I still have the elixir here. Why should I pay for it!"

After thinking about it, Xu Damao thought that he could never admit that the elixir was lost.

Otherwise, I have to pay close to 7,000 yuan. How can I pay for it? I can’t even afford the loss if I sell my house!

"You fart, when we were drinking just now, Lao He asked you how the elixir was, and you said you lost the elixir somehow! I asked you several times later, and you said you lost the elixir. Now in front of me In front of everyone, you don’t admit it?”

Yan Bugui was immediately furious when he heard this. He didn't expect that Xu Damao would deny it. Just now he personally admitted that he had lost the elixir.

"I was drunk just now, right? Third uncle, would you believe me if I was drunk?"

Now that Xu Damao had made up his mind, he naturally would not relent and directly used the excuse that he was drunk.

"People say you tell the truth when you're drunk..."

"That's just someone. I cut off pieces after drinking too much. I'm talking nonsense. Third uncle, you have to know that everyone's body is different and you can't generalize!"

"you!"

Yan Bugui and Xu Damao argued fiercely, but Yan Bugui was obviously no match for Xu Damao, and was left speechless by his rebuttal.

"I want to know if you have lost the elixir. It's very simple. Just take out the elixir and let Lao Yan and I take a look."

Although Yan Bugui was speechless, He Daqing was still very rational. He directly ignored all Xu Damao's pretense and pointed to the essence of the problem.

Whether the elixir is still there, just take it out and take a look and you'll know what's the use of talking nonsense.

"Yes, Xu Damao, if what you said is true or false, you will know if you take out the elixir. I didn't even see the third uncle's elixir clearly last time. Please take out the elixir and let us see it!"

"Yes, yes, I want to see it too!"

"That's right, last time the third uncle's elixir was eaten by a stick, it was such a pity. The illness was not cured after taking the elixir, and he choked to death later..."

Everyone in the courtyard started to boo, wanting Xu Damao to take out the elixir and have a look, and some even mentioned the dead stick.

However, after receiving a cold look from Qin Huairu, he did not dare to say any more.

Ever since Qin Huairu started practicing the Ascension Sutra, not only has she become younger and more beautiful, but her temperament has also become more outstanding and her pressure has become stronger.

When she is angry, most people dare not look at her.

"Take the elixir? Why should I take it?"

Faced with He Daqing's request and the booing from everyone in the courtyard, Xu Damao remained unmoved.

"If you don't take out the elixir and show it to everyone, how will everyone know whether the elixir is still there? How can they prove that you didn't lose the elixir?"

Yan Bugui became more arrogant now. He Daqing was right. If Xu Damao had lost the elixir, he would know after taking it out.

Seeing that Xu Damao refused to take out the elixir, Yan Bugui began to press forward step by step.

"Third uncle, how did we agree? Do you still remember? Say it again!"

Xu Damao didn't panic at all, but instead asked about Yan Bugui with a smile.

"Of course I remember that one person keeps the elixir for three months. If it is lost in someone's hands during that period, he will have to pay the other two people in proportion to the price of 10,000 yuan. Now that the elixir is lost in your hands, you just wait. Compensate, tell you, I won’t give you any discount, you must compensate me 3,333 yuan and 30 cents!”

Yan Bugui didn't expect that it was already this time, and Xu Damao looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. He decided to get all the money back without losing a penny.

If he didn't have money of this denomination, he wouldn't be able to let go of even the three cents.

"You said it has been three months. Now let me ask you, have I kept the elixir for three months?"

When Xu Damao saw the proud Yan Bugui, he couldn't help but asked playfully.

"What do you mean?"

He Daqing frowned when he heard this. He felt that things were developing in a direction he had not expected.

"What do you mean, you come back and ask me for the elixir after I have kept it for three months. If I can't get the elixir after three months, then I will pay you three thousand three hundred and thirty-three yuan and three cents each. It’s a lot of money for you, and now I haven’t kept the elixir for half a month, what do you want?”

Xu Damao took a leisurely look at Yan Bugui and He Daqing, and then said leisurely.

He would rather procrastinate and buy another elixir during these three months, which would only cost three to four thousand yuan in total.

But if he now admits that the elixir is lost and pays compensation according to the contract, then he will have to pay six thousand six hundred and sixty-six yuan and sixty-six cents. He can still tell which is more and which is less.

"you!"

At this time, He Daqing, an old fox, was a little dumbfounded. After all, the contract did stipulate that it was three months. Before this time came, Xu Damao should not hand over the elixir.

"How about it, do you have anything to say?"

Seeing that He Daqing was speechless, Xu Damao said even more proudly.

"This, this, this, Lao He..."

"Stop talking, Lao Yan, Xu Damao is telling the truth, it's not even three months yet!"

Yan Bugui looked at He Daqing anxiously, and He Daqing waved his hand helplessly.

"Xu Damao, I know you must have lost the elixir!"

He Daqing looked at Xu Damao who was a little proud at the moment and suddenly smiled, and then said to him in a deep voice.

"Then don't worry about whether I lost the elixir or not. We'll talk about it in two and a half months."

"I also know that you want to buy another elixir to make up for this hole."

"Don't worry about it, I have my own plan!"

"But I want to remind you one thing. Since the reform and opening up, business is no longer prohibited, and everyone has begun to buy elixirs blatantly. Now the price of elixirs has reached five to six thousand yuan a piece, and there is still no market. You may not be able to It cost six thousand six hundred and sixty-six yuan to buy the elixir, so don’t get too proud, you will cry when you find out that you have to spend more than seven thousand yuan to buy the elixir!”

He Daqing was not in a hurry. With his shrewdness, he could naturally see that Xu Damao had really lost the elixir. He was delaying admitting it now because he wanted to buy another elixir to replace it later.

But Xu Damao didn't know that with the reform and opening up, there were more and more wealthy people, and the price of elixirs was rising, so his wishful thinking might not work.

But no matter if Xu Damao buys an elixir to make up for it, or directly compensates him and Lao Yan more than 3,000 yuan each, he and Lao Yan will not lose. Xu Damao will have to swallow this bitter pill after all.

"Five or six thousand are already worthless? Didn't you pay back four thousand a while ago?"

When Xu Damao heard this, he immediately panicked. If the price continued to rise, it would be better to compensate He Daqing and Yan Bugui directly.

"Yeah, so if you really lost the elixir, you'd better find a way to buy one back as soon as possible! If it's later, when the price exceeds six thousand six hundred and sixty yuan, it won't be cost-effective for you to buy it again!"

He Daqing turned around and left after saying that. This time he sat firmly on the Diaoyutai without panicking at all.
