Chapter 135 Treasure in the carriage

The corner of Shui Zheran's mouth twitched. Dad must have been frightened.

Su Qin chuckled and said, "Take another seventy taels, a total of one hundred, which is worthy of the carriage."

Shui Ling, "..." My parents are very prodigal, how can they be ruined?

Shui Zheran nodded, "Okay." After saying that, he took out the silver and placed it on the tattered table.

The family of three left, and the old man came back to his senses. When he chased them out, no one could be seen.

When he came back, his eyes fell on the money and he sighed, "Living Bodhisattva, no matter what happens, just wait for now. If my wife gets better, I will return the money."

"No...if my wife goes, I will go too. I will return the money to them before I go. There is no need for it anyway."

He muttered and stuffed the silver into the mouse hole and hid it.

Shui Ling was bored in the car, and Su Qin asked: "Do you think we are big-headed?"

"Yes, it's quite big." Shui Ling answered truthfully.

Su Qin smiled slightly, "I got merit points, saved one hundred people, and ten taels of silver, one hundred. Do you think it's a loss?"

"Huh? So you got a thousand?" The ten taels of silver used to buy the car don't count.

Su Qin nodded, "Yes, it's not a loss, and this car is not expensive for a hundred taels, you see."

Shui Ling moved closer and looked at the place she pointed at. It was almost at the bottom of the carriage. For some reason, the wood was scratched, revealing the golden color inside.

"This is... golden nanmu?" Shui Ling was shocked and speechless.

"Well, this car must have been brought here by some high-ranking official, and then it ended up in the hands of that member of staff for some reason, but he didn't know the goods and sold it." Su Qin replied.

Shui Ling patted her chest, "Does this mean good people are rewarded?"

"That's right. This wood is used as a disguise. When we can regain our status in the future, we will polish off the outer skin. This carriage is worth tens of thousands of taels of silver."

Shui Qingqing sighed: "It's too expensive, I'm afraid to sit on it."

"What are you afraid of? I just bought this carriage to ride on the road. I will ask your dad to make a strong one later. It needs to be equipped with shock absorbers, otherwise the bones will fall apart."

"Yeah, my butt..." Shui Ling said pitifully.

Shui Ling was suddenly startled, her eyes widened, and she asked nervously: "Mom, do you think there is a hidden compartment in this car to hide the treasure?"

"Huh? That's right. The car is so expensive, how could it not have hidden compartments? Look for it!" Su Qin also became more energetic.

The mother and daughter began to rummage in the car, touching the seat box under the seat cushion, but found nothing.

Shui Ling lay in the car and said dullly: "How come it's not there? Could it be that someone took it away?"

Her eyes fell on the roof of the carriage, then she stood up suddenly and reached out to touch it, and then went to look at the shaft before retracting.

She said mysteriously: "Mom, there is half a foot of space on the roof of the car."

This carriage is very high, it looks two and a half meters tall from the outside, and an ordinary carriage is about one meter and a half tall.

Su Qin stood up and stretched out her hand to knock. The sound was dull and not empty. Her eyes lit up and she said, "There is a show, but I have to go back and watch it."

"Hmm." Shui Ling began to scratch his heart and lungs, wondering what the trouble was.

When he returned to the inn, picked up his things, he checked out and left. When he was out of the city gate and far away from the crowds, Hercules spread his hooves and ran away.

The rack tied to the back of the carriage is also full of cotton. The volume of five hundred kilograms is not small. There is room for other goods, otherwise it would not be able to fit.

It was still dark when we returned to the village. Shui Zheran came to the open space and shouted: "Grandpa, the cotton you asked for has been bought. We can only buy this kind with cotton seeds. It costs 30 yuan per pound. Pick out the cotton seeds."

For the same use, a clean one costs a hundred cents."

Shui Dongliu walked out of the cave in a daze. He didn't make trouble, he just said: "It's so expensive. One quilt costs five kilograms of cotton. How much did you buy?"

Shui Zheran smiled and said: "Five hundred kilograms, even if you remove cotton seeds and impurities, you can get more than three hundred kilograms."

As he spoke, he tore open a bag of cotton and took out a handful. The cotton was not snow-white, but contained cotton seeds and impurities.

Although it is not the best cotton, Shui Dongliu was very happy and said, "Okay, if you have nothing to do, just pick one and use it the same."

Shui Zheran was afraid that he would reveal his secrets if he said too much, so he immediately said: "I will tell you for grandpa here that there is nothing wrong with you in winter. If you are willing, you can help build roads. A square foot of road will be smoothed for a pound."

Take the cotton back and pick out the cottonseeds yourself. The cottonseeds can be used as seeds after you pick them out. You can grow them yourself or sell them to me. You can harvest them for a hundred cents per pound, but only those that are plump and can germinate."

Everyone burst into laughter, talking about it all at once, but there was joy on their faces.

A woman walked a few steps forward and asked, "Can I ask, woman?"

Shui Ling looked over and saw that he was an outsider, and he quite liked the mother and daughter that day."

Shui Zheran said: "Regardless of men and women, cleaning three feet square in one day is considered qualified." This workload is already very light.

The woman happily said: "Thank you." After saying that, she went back and stood silently.

Shui Dongliu's eyes circled around the carriage, then he opened the curtain and took a look. Then he pulled Shui Zheran aside and whispered for a while. Shui Zheran nodded frequently.

After waiting for a while, Shui Zheran asked someone to unload all the cotton, and then took his wife and daughter home.

When he got home, Shui Zheran felt that it was necessary to build a fence, otherwise he would always feel that something was missing.

He untied Hercules and let it move freely, then waved and said mysteriously: "Grandpa said that this carriage belonged to a great eunuch in the palace. Later, the great eunuch was beheaded, and his tribe took the carriage away when they were exiled.

."

"We are so lucky to get this car. Grandpa said that it took a lot of manpower and material resources to get this car, but we made a lot of money."

Shui Ling raised her eyebrows and asked, "How did Grandpa know this? This car doesn't even have a license plate number."

Shui Zheran chuckled, "He has seen the pattern of this car before. There are markings on the front of the car. We can't understand it, but he understands."

"By the way, what kind of wood do you think this is made of?" Shui Zheran was a little proud.

Su Qin rolled his eyes at him and said, "The golden nanmu is in disguise."

"Oh, my wife is still the best." Shui Zheran looked like a loser.

Shui Ling covered her eyes, feeling extremely depressed. Dad, you used to be a director after all. Is this really a good thing for a dog?

Shui Zheran continued: "There are also mechanisms in this car, please guess again."

Su Qin chuckled and said, "The roof of the car."

"My God, my wife, you are so awesome, I didn't even notice it." Shui Zheran continued to lick.

Su Qin raised his hand and pushed him away, "Okay, okay, I'm not serious." His tone was full of impatience, but the joy and sweetness in his eyes almost overflowed.

Shui Zheran suddenly sighed and said: "Honey, I didn't have time to accompany you before. Fortunately, I have this life. If I didn't have this life, I really don't know how regretful I would be."

Su Qin was moved, yes, he is also busy, and we must stay together well in the future.
