On an auspicious night of the zodiac, Liang Zi borrowed a truck and drove me and 2 brand-new Nanmu coffins all the way to the cemetery.

Taking advantage of the headlights of the car, I saw from afar that the village chief and a few sturdy villagers were already waiting impatiently at the edge of the field. I hurriedly got out of the car and handed out red envelopes one by one, and they had a smile on their faces.

Later, I lit a fire by the grave for lighting and lit a firecracker, and at this time Liang Zi's mouth began to be "honest", and took the initiative to beckon everyone to unload the coffin and some tools from the car and start working.

Our ancestral tomb can be said to be the fourth generation, so the coffin is not greatly affected by the movement of the earth's crust, and there is no phenomenon of running the coffin displacement, otherwise it is very troublesome to find the coffin. About half an hour later, I dug up the lid of the small coffin outside my grandfather's urn.

At this time, a villager who was digging under the soil shouted, "See the sky." Afterwards, a few capable villagers jumped down and stood around the small coffin and began digging.

When I was wondering what consciousness I had, Liang Zi whispered to me in my ear: "Digging to the sky is digging to the top of the coffin. ”

After listening to Liang Zi's words, I wondered even more, thinking to myself, why is this kid so professional in these code words, and he knows more than me, an antique worker?

As I was about to ponder, I heard a villager shouting from below, "You see the ground." ”

I took advantage of the firelight to look down and realized that because the small coffin where the urn was placed was short, it was already deeper than the bottom of the small coffin after a while.

Now that the small coffin was completely protruding from the grave, I immediately guessed that the consciousness of this code word had been dug to the bottom of the coffin by combining the code words just now with the current situation in front of me.

At this time, one person stayed at the bottom to thread hemp rope under the small coffin, and the others concentrated on digging a slope towards the coffin due south of the pit.

Suddenly, I was at a loss again, and Liang Zi quietly gestured to me and said, "Lift it out from the south, to the Buddha, that is, like the Buddha." ”

After listening to it, I completely understood, it turned out that moving graves was more elaborate than I imagined, and I was completely sure that this kid Liang Zi had definitely done this before.

After a cigarette, with the shout of "get up the sedan chair", the grandfather's small coffin was also lifted by the villagers with hemp rope and wooden poles, and carried it step by step into the new grave not far away. Subsequently, the small coffins wrapped in the urns of grandma and mother were also successfully moved.

After carrying the coffin twice, I lit a cigarette for the village chief and the others, beckoned to rest for a while, and continued according to the original method of moving the grave, but this time it was a little different, and under the ground was my grandfather's coffin that had lasted for nearly a hundred years.

Maybe the village chief has already explained the reasons to these helpers in advance, so this time everyone dug very carefully and carefully.

Every time the excavation is excavated, only half a minute is inserted into the soil, so that it is like digging the soil, so as not to open the rotten wood coffin with a drill.

Because whose ancestral tomb can not be like the imperial tomb, there will be no drainage measures at all, nearly a hundred years of coffins in the corrosion of muddy water may not be like a long time ago, the most important thing is that there is a feudal saying when moving the tomb to dig the coffin, the coffin can only be opened by the relatives of the tomb owner, otherwise the person who opens the coffin to make the body leak into the air will be unlucky, these people are simple and unpretentious farmers after all, so they still care about this statement.

The digging proceeded very slowly, and the village chief gave the group two breaks to make the coffin basically stand in the grave, and then ordered the southward slope to be dug, and then they beckoned everyone to come to the side and start smoking.

I watched them all go to rest at this juncture, and I began to mutter, these grandsons don't want to strike at a critical moment to blackmail me into adding money, right?

At this time, Liang Zi patted me, handed me the crowbar and a brand new shroud, and said, "What are you waiting for?" It's time for you to play, you have to do this by yourself, hurry up and clean up the land for our ancestors. ”

As soon as I heard this, I was dumbfounded, and the scene of me picking up the bones in the coffin was dimly presented, and I couldn't help but shiver all over my body, and I didn't dare to imagine it anymore. Although the coffin under the bottom is my grandfather, but after all, it has been nearly a hundred years apart, and it has long been unrecognizable.

Liang Zi seemed to see my thoughts, and said to me while carrying the masks we had prepared in advance: "It's okay, your ancestor is my ancestor, buddy, I will accompany you." ”

I was almost moved to tears, but I was afraid of saying anything disrespectful in front of my ancestors, so I nodded silently, put on a mask, and went down the slope to the grave with Liangzi.

This grave is different from my grandfather's, it is more than two meters deep, and I stood at the bottom of the pit at the same level as the bottom of the coffin, as if I had fallen into a well, and I could hardly breathe.

Taking advantage of the light of the fire above, the coffin in front of me was already rotting, and the cracks and traces of decay and inadvertently caused by digging pits were all over the coffin, looking like a rotten reptile.

At this time, I didn't have the heart to think about it anymore, and after knocking on the coffin three times, I took the crowbar and inserted it into the gap in the coffin cover, because the coffin had long since become rotten wood, it didn't take much effort to submerge one-third of the crowbar into the coffin.

At this time, Liang Zi nodded at me and motioned for me to open the coffin.

Liang Zibian suddenly shouted at me: "Open the door".

In fact, I was already accustomed to his strange code words, but after hearing him shout this time, I didn't know if I was frightened or what's going on.

However, due to the excessive force, the coffin board was flipped to the ground, and the crowbar was thrown somewhere, and I fell to the ground with inertia.

Fortunately, there were soil embryos all around, and there were no falls, but I still couldn't stand up for a long time.

I rubbed my aching shoulders and cursed Liang Zi in my heart, guessing that Liang Zi must be looking at me with contempt.

However, when I looked up at Liang Zi, I was dumbfounded......
