"That's a promise?"

"Isn't that worthless?"

"Fool, if the box is not valuable, he dared to open his mouth just now for 100,000 taels? Do you think it's a loss of tree money? That's the money to buy the box! ”

"Then why did he promise to give us the box?"

"This ...... I guess he wants to scare us, we can't let him scare us. ”

Xiao Yuanba's promise was so refreshing, causing the villagers to beat drums in their hearts one by one, and they all met and whispered.

"Have you thought about it?" Seeing this, Xiao Yuanba raised his voice. "Do you want a box, or do you want 100,000 taels?"

Villagers, you look at me, I look at you, I can't make up my mind.

"Can you ...... Both? One of the villagers hesitantly raised his hand.

"Oh, Xiao Jiu, you're too smart."

"Yes, yes, we'll do both."

"100,000 taels of compensation trees, the box belongs to us, it should be like this."

The villagers were instantly boiling.

"Oh?" Xiao Yuanba sneered, "Do you know who I am?" Dare to open your mouth? ”

As soon as Xiao Yuanba said this, the villagers were a little hesitant.

"That'...... Who the hell are you? A villager asked.

"Hmph." Xiao Yuanba shook his head and said, "There are some things that you don't know, it's better, just remember one thing - we are the owners of these boxes!" Why, you're not convinced? Why don't we go and report to the officials and let the people from the yamen solve this matter? ”

At this point, the villagers did not dare to speak.

"So be it." Xiao Yuanba sat down on the stump of the tree, crossed his hand and said, "Let your talkers, cough, it is the village chief who comes out to speak." ”

The villagers looked at each other, and only after a while did they come to the humane: "Yesterday, yesterday there was a fire in our village, and the village chief ...... Nope. ”

"Huh?" Xiao Yuanba glanced at the collapsed hut not far away, "Then no one else can make up their minds?" ”

"Who's up with the idea is a matter in our village, what do you want, boy?" Some villagers couldn't help but say.

"What do I want?" Xiao Yuanba laughed, "We want to get back what we lost, you said that if you throw something at your door, it should be yours, I cut down a tree, you say it's a feng shui tree - what feng shui tree is full of dog shit under it?" I have a lump on the sole of my feet, and I dare to ask for 100,000 taels? Should I ask, what do you really want? ”

The villagers were speechless.

"I'll give you a staircase here." Xiao Yuanba patted his thigh and said, "Fifty thousand taels of silver, or a box, you can choose yourself." ”

"You just said 100,000 taels!" Villagers protested.

"That's right, I just said 100,000 taels, but you didn't make a deal with me." Xiao Yuan said domineeringly, "Now the market is different, you didn't grasp the opportunity yourself, who is to blame?" 50,000 taels or a box, if you want it, if you don't want it, I will report to the official and let the yamen handle this matter. ”

After Xiao Yuanba finished speaking, the villagers began to talk to each other again.

"This little kid must be bluffing us, if he really dares to report to the official, then he would have reported it a long time ago, so he needs to grind here?"

"That's not necessarily, look at his henchmen, all of them have muscles like calves, this must be the son of a big family, don't mess with people."

"In my opinion, it doesn't matter if it's 100,000 taels or 50,000 taels, the real money and silver are quickly in your hands, and once the village chief dies, it's hard to say how long this village can last."

"Do you really want to take the silver? In my opinion, it is more cost-effective to take the box. ”

"Ergou is right, I feel that the contents of the box must be very valuable."

"No matter how valuable it is, it's useless, you have to be able to exchange it for silver, the bigger the product, the harder it is to sell it......"

Xiao Yuanba sat on the side, seeing that the villagers were almost discussed, and then he said: "Wait, if you continue to pull it like this, you won't be able to produce results next year, why don't you pull the box up first, see what is inside and then make a decision, how about it?" ”

"Okay, that's it." The villagers quickly unified their caliber.

The agreement was reached, and not long after, the old seven brothers also emerged from the river, with soft diving skins on their shoulders.

They walked ashore and nodded at the Boss, but then shook their heads vigorously.

"What does that mean?" The villagers asked nervously.

What they mean ...... The box was found, but there was no way to get it. The big man with the broken wrist explained.

These dart boxes are large and heavy, and it is easy to throw them into the river, and it is impossible to get them again without more than ten times the manpower.

"If you can't get it, we can help." The villagers have expressed their willingness to help.

So, rummaging through the boxes, pulling the warehouse, and cleaning the mess...... The villagers sweated like rain, and finally spliced hundreds of feet of thick hemp rope, and prepared rivets, buckles, reels, clips, wooden frames and other objects.

With concerted efforts, a complete set of simple but not simple noose net pulling devices gradually took shape on the riverbank.

The big man with the broken wrist silently walked behind Xiao Yuanba and patted him on the shoulder.

Xiao Yuanba looked up.

The man with the broken wrist shook his thumb and walked away.

Sunset.

Crash......

The water splashed, and the last big wooden box was dragged up the river beach, from left to right, ten slips at a time, and the rows were neatly arranged.

As early as the first large wooden box came ashore, some villagers tried to spy on the secrets, but fortunately, the fine iron sesame locks on the chest, which were the size of heads, firmly blocked everyone's curiosity.

"Where's the key?"

"No keys."

Sonorous, sonorous.

The big man with the broken wrist used his unbroken hand to knock on the iron locks one by one.

Water stains continued to seep under the large wooden box.

He pressed his face close to the gap in the lid and twitched his nose slightly.

"It smells of dirt and gore!"

The big man with the broken wrist was secretly surprised.

But instead of stating the fact, he quickly glanced at the villagers gathered around him—their faces were full of undisguised greed.

"Let me come!" A strong man with a hammer walked out of the village.

He wielded the hammer and smashed it into the locks again and again.

However, apart from the splashing sparks, not even the sawdust made a single star.

"This ...... This is too auspicious, right? The strong man was astonished.

In addition to the shock, more tools were invited out, and they were all over the place.

"Get out of the way." Just as the villagers were holding a thousand strange tools and wanted to further test the secrets hidden in the big wooden box, Xiao Yuanba said coldly.

I don't know why, Xiao Yuanba's voice is not loud, but it has a magical persuasiveness.

The villagers retreated in silence.

"The third style of the cave sword technique, dragonfly jumping step slash!"

The cold light rises, and the cold light falls.

Xiao Yuanba held the kitchen god knife in his mouth and slowly straightened up.

Boom!

Boom! Boom!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The dissociation of the internal springs flicked the iron lock into the air.

At the same time, the lid of the box, which was moved to the side during transportation, opened automatically under the action of gravity.

Boom.

The lid of the box fell to the ground, and everything was settled.

What shocking secrets are contained in these large wooden boxes?

"This ...... How is this possible? ”

The villagers rubbed their eyes in unison, feeling a mighty chill that spread from their heels to the back of their heads.

"By the way, then...... What about the people? ”

When they finally came back to their senses, they found that Xiao Yuanba and his party had all disappeared without a trace!
