82_82444 "What the hell are these boxes?" Su Yao felt tired when he moved to the third box, these boxes were nailed so hard that they couldn't be opened at all, so Su Yao didn't know what was inside, but he was even more curious. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoThe boss didn't say that he couldn't touch the boxes when he left, so the contents of the boxes are not a secret.

"Yaojun, you don't want to open these boxes to see what's inside, do you?" Hua Hong stood aside, knowing that Su Yao would not satisfy his curiosity so easily.

"Well, although it's a box, it looks like a coffin no matter how you look at it, although he didn't say anything, but it always feels like this shop is eerie, it feels like a funeral home." Su Yao finally found a suitable term to describe this shop.

"Then could it be that the contents of these boxes are..." The two of them suddenly felt creepy, and approached a relatively large box together, which seemed to be the size of a single person.

"Let's do it." After agreeing on their intentions, the two men nodded towards each other.

Su Yao looked left and right, and finally found a hammer at the foot of a box, it seemed that the boss had used it to open the box before.

Picking up the hammer from the side, Su Yao turned around and looked at the box again, the nails next to him were uneven, and a few of them even popped up. It seems that it will be easy to pull the nail out.

"Yaojun, will you use it?" Hua Hong saw Su Yao holding a hammer and using the nail remover on the other side to get stuck on the top of the first nail, but unexpectedly, she didn't see the nail come out with a lot of effort.

"It's not my problem, the point is that the nail is a little too tight when it goes in." Su Yao frowned, what's the matter, he obviously used a lot of strength, this nail didn't move at all, and it was the same situation when he changed the nails on several other seats with his backhand. It's incredible.

Hua Hong saw that Su Yao was busy on the side, so she probed her brain to observe something on the side.

"That, I said Yaojun, is it because this box is sealed, and the air inside shrinks and sucks the lid in? It's useless to pull the nail even hard, so you might as well try to dig a hole in the lid. Hua Hong finally came to her own conclusion, and immediately opened her mouth to remind Su Yao, who was still working hard.

"Uh, is that so?" Su Yao was stunned for a moment, he didn't think in that direction at all, but what Hua Hong said was really reasonable. So he turned around and began to look for something that could make a hole in it.

"Here's a small chisel, which should have been used by the boss before, take him and try it." Hua Hong didn't know where to grab a small chisel, reached out and handed it to Su Yao.

This illustrates the importance of observing your surroundings before doing things. Su Yao picked up the chisel a little sweaty, he knew that he still needed to spend so much effort to pick up the nails!

Finding a slightly flatter place on the lid, Su Yao tried to see if it would slide down, and then picked up the chisel in his hand and knocked it down.

After knocking it down a few times, there was only a shallow groove on the lid. Su Yao kept frowning at the board in front of him, is this girl a little too hard? How long do you have to chisel to be able to penetrate?

"This wood doesn't seem to be the ordinary kind, it's so hard, I knocked it half to death before I got in." Su Yao wiped his sweat, really, it was really a headache, what secrets did this boss have, he had to make these boxes so complicated.

"Well, I'll see." Hua Hong also felt very strange, picked up a little wood chips chiseled out by Su Yao, the color was brown and black, and it was very difficult to pinch it, Hua Hong carefully looked at the things in her hand, there was no reason, so she lowered her head and sniffed it again, and a faint stench spread under the tip of her nose. It's exactly the same as the smell I smelled when I first entered the house, and now I'm almost getting used to it after standing in the room for a long time. It seems that the smell of the house is coming from these boxes.

Bonus thought about it, but she couldn't think of anything about this kind of wood. But all of these things add up to make the store even stranger.

"Yaojun, you stop first, and then knock down, I guess you will have to wait for the boss to come back, or move these boxes first," Hua Hong always felt that it was a little bad, it was better to finish the things in hand first, after all, finding the other two people is what they really have to do, and it will be difficult to open the box with curiosity, so it is better to stop it first.

"I'll go, I'm only halfway through and you're telling me to stop??" Su Yao was very depressed and stopped what he was doing.

"Yaojun, you are really, haven't you heard that curiosity kills cats? The things in this room are so weird, we don't know what will happen if we open the box so rashly, so let's explore it on the premise that our own safety can be guaranteed. If you pack these boxes first, you can at least ask the boss Xiao Susu about their whereabouts. Hua Hong immediately opened her mouth to persuade her, "Besides, these boxes all exude a very ominous feeling, so it's better for the two of us to cause less trouble." ā€

"Is that so?" Su Yao threw the hammer and chisel in his hand to the ground to the side, looking at the boxes in the room, it was really nerve-wracking, waiting for himself to arrange these things, the boss would almost come back, where would he have time to open the box and see the contents for himself.

"I don't think these boxes were opened by brute force, it should be a mistake to see us use them like this, maybe there are other ways to open them, let's tidy things up first, maybe we will find other clues in the house." Hua Hong saw that Su Yao was still a little unwilling, and immediately continued to persuade him, is he a guy who has become more and more stubborn recently?

"That's right." Su Yao nodded. Looking at the tools he had used, if there was any other way, what was the boss throwing these two things on the ground for? Deliberately misleading yourself? It's getting more and more difficult to figure out.

After Hua Hong finished speaking, she went to move the box first, leaving Su Yao on the side and letting him think about it slowly. This guy has been getting more and more stupid lately, so he's getting more and more stupid, and he's really embarrassed to talk about him.

"Whew." Su Yao thought it was nerve-wracking to think about things, so he continued to work with the bonus. It took two people more than four hours to move the boxes in this room before they were neatly arranged in the corner. It's really enough to be tired.

"It's been so long, why hasn't the boss come back yet??" Su Yao finally straightened his waist and breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that the time was almost evening, the boss still didn't show up, didn't this guy even want to open the store? ? ?

"Well, although he's not here, but not a single guest from this store is here today, is there still a need to buy goods in this way??" And what would it be if these boxes weren't filled with goods?? Hua Bonus had a complete headache, and when she looked outside, the light became a little dim, and it felt strange to stay in such a dark store for a long time.

Looking at the notes hanging down to the ground outside, a thought suddenly flashed through Flowerhong's mind.

"Yaojun, you stay here first, I'm going to go out and have a look."

"Huh?" What's there to see out there? Although Su Yao was strange, he didn't stop the bonus. He got up and followed. He wanted to see what the bonus was going to do.

The two of them walked out of the store one after the other, the cool breeze under the shade of the trees outside blew away the rotten stench of the two people in an instant, Su Yao followed Hua Hong all the way to a banyan branch, and watched Hua Hong take out his dagger and start cutting the bark for some reason, and a stream of dark green viscous juice slowly flowed down the incision.

"What is this for??" Su Yao really didn't know, why did he come outside to cut branches?

Bonus had already cleared out a large chunk of clean branches, and he cut it with a dagger a few times, and a small piece of wood chips fell into his hand.

"Yaojun, do you know, I heard that the people in the south here like to bury the dead under the banyan tree, once those banyan trees absorb enough dead people's decaying nutrients, the inside of the branches will turn black and brown, and when it encounters fire, it will emit a burst of foul smell, presumably those boxes in the house are made of this kind of branches, although the smell is not so strong after special treatment, but if you put too much, you can't cover it up at all." Hua Hong smiled and handed the broken wood chips in her hand to Su Yao's hand.

"Is that so?" Su Yao felt a chill after listening to Hua Hong's words, there are all kinds of things? Isn't it a little too disgusting? Su Yao held the small piece of wood chips in his hand, and no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't tell that this black thing actually had such a origin.

"Let's try heating it up." Hua Hong looked at Su Yao, anyway, he automatically summoned the ability of fire, so he didn't have to bother himself to find fire everywhere.

"Okay, Su Yao looked at the sawdust. The palm of his hand began to raise the temperature slightly, and gradually he saw a black smoke coming out of the sawdust, and at the same time, a pungent smell spread under the tips of the noses of the two people. I don't know how many times stronger than the smell in the house, and Su Yao, who smelled it, almost vomited.

"It stinks, Nima, what is this, it smells so bad!!" Su Yao threw away the piece of sawdust in his hand and ran directly to the side.

Truly... Hua Hong's brow furrowed, the smell of this tree was too strong, and when she looked at her feet, the black soil seemed to be a little wet. There's still something down there, right??

"What a nasty place, I think we still are; It's better to leave, this boss is definitely not an ordinary person. Hua Hong looked at the person next to her a little embarrassed, and the ominous premonition in her heart was really getting stronger and stronger.

"Well, let's go first, it feels dangerous to sit here." Su Yao was the same as Hua Bonus at this time, if he stood here so openly, he really didn't know what would happen if that boss came back. "Let's run before that boss comes back."

While the two were discussing, there was a figure on the other side that was approaching quickly.

"Puff hee-hee, the two guests have been waiting for a long time." The boss was approaching quickly with a box on his back, and there was a smile on his face, but it seemed so scary to the other two people at this time. It looks like their plans to escape are about to come to naught.

"Huh." Su Yao looked at this sooner or later, but at this time, the boss who came out instantly felt Alexander, did he pinch the time to appear here at this time!!

"It's over, I guess I won't be able to run away now." The bonus is also sweating on the side.

"Let's go." Seeing that the boss was still approaching the store quickly, Su Yao immediately took Hua Hong's hand and prepared to escape.

"Huh?" The boss was surprised when he saw the two men preparing to run away. I just came back and saw these two guys can't wait to leave? "You two wait for me!!"

"Oh no, he's catching up." As soon as Bonus turned around, she saw the boss drop her box and chase after them. A cold sweat broke out. Looks like this guy doesn't plan to let them go.

"Hey, you two don't run, wait for me!!" The boss shouted as he quickened his pace, but the two people in front of him ran too fast.

Hmph, it's a little too depressing. He suddenly stopped his steps, looked at the two people in front of him, and as soon as his fingers moved, the ground under his feet began to squirm, and the roots of the banyan tree beside him were pulled out of the soil one by one, and shot quickly towards the two people who had escaped.

"There's behind you, there's got to be something behind you!!" Bloom screamed and shouted, feeling the cold wind still "swishing" on the back of her head.

"What??" Su Yao was shouted by Hua Hong, and immediately turned his head to look behind him, only to see countless branches and leaves flying towards the two of them quickly. What is this Nima!! Why are they all flying towards this side!! And looking at this posture, the distance is still shrinking, and the two of them can't run that kind of thing with their legs alone!

"This tree is definitely a demon tree!!" Hua Hong screamed, and his feet were immediately entangled by a tree root, and he couldn't stop the car and fell to the front in an instant.
