Chapter 4: Accidents

When I heard a noise in the coffin, I was curious.

Because I was afraid of missing a piece of corpse when I was cleaning up just now, the whole process was very careful, and it was impossible to lose it at all, how could there be something that made a sound of hitting the coffin wall?

I pondered as I walked over to the source.

The direction of the sound is the big head of the coffin, that is, the head where the ancestor is lying.

But now above that position is the fire I lit before moving the grave, and that position is in a blind spot.

In this extremely dark place, I can't take a flashlight, and I don't dare to reach down and touch it, so no matter what angle I look at, I still can't see what is inside.

"Boom-" The sound of a lighter came to my ears.

I turned my head to see that Liang Zi was lighting something with a lighter, it looked a little familiar, like the shape of a cigar cigarette, there was no flame when it was lit, but I could see the red bright spots faintly burning in the dark.

I was about to open my mouth and scold Liang Zi for having a fart for this hot spot.

I saw the beam blow on the fire, and the original fire burned as if it had been sprayed with gasoline, and the grave was suddenly illuminated by the firelight.

Fire Fold!

I remembered the name of this thing, which I had seen in the bags of some old guys in the antique market, and I remember asking them for advice out of curiosity.

They say that these things are very important, and they don't worry about others doing it, they are all made by themselves, because one end is coated with phosphorus, sulfur and other compounds, so it is easy to ignite or ignite, and it is a simple lighting and fire appliance that is easy to carry.

When I asked them what they were for, they said they used to light cigarettes, and then a friend of the same company secretly told me afterwards that the old guys were upside down, and those things were their usual and essential tools.

But since the fire fold is a common tool for those people, how can this kid Liang Zi have this thing? And how can you use it so skillfully?

I immediately thought of a series of scenes such as Liang Zi explaining the code words to me when the grave was moved, and I guessed that Liang Zi must have hidden something from me.

Liang Zi was very natural, holding the fire fold to the position of the coffin in the blind corner of the light, holding the fire fold and looking inside for a while, and then felt something out of the coffin.

I didn't care about guessing about Liang Zi anymore, so I hurriedly walked over to see what Liang Zi got in his hand.

I could see clearly in the light of the fire fold.

It was a plate-shaped object, red in color, divided into two layers, hollowed out in the middle, and faintly carved with strange symbols on the surface.

After looking at this thing for a long time, I blurted out in surprise: "This thing is a turtle shell, and these symbols are oracle bones!" ”

In fact, I recognized this as a tortoise shell oracle bone inscription at first sight, because Anyang is the birthplace of oracle bone inscriptions, and these things are national treasures on the surface, but oracle bones are often sold and traded in the local black market.

I have often seen all kinds of oracle bones, but I have never seen such a red turtle shell, and I would never have imagined that there would be such a thing in the coffin of my ancestors, so I dared to confirm it after looking at it many times.

Liang Zi didn't know if he heard me speak, so he didn't respond anyway, but he just looked at the turtle shell in a daze without raising his head there.

"I said, two little brothers, how are you cleaning up below? The guys are impatient to wait, and besides, it will be dawn if we continue to spend it like this, and we will see the light when the grave is moved, not to mention that it is not good for us to work. At this time, the village chief's shouting not far away interrupted Liangzi's train of thought.

I listened to the village chief's voice coming from far and near, accompanied by the sound of footsteps that were getting clearer and clearer, indicating that the village chief was walking towards us.

I immediately patted Liang Zi on the shoulder and made some jumbled gestures, motioning for him to quickly hide the turtle shell and wrap the old man's bones in a shroud.

Fortunately, Liang Zi was quick-sighted, and as soon as he finished cleaning up, the village chief walked into the grave.

The village chief looked around for a while, frowned at us and said, "Finished cleaning up?" Let's hurry up, a few guys have their opinions."

Of course, I understood his consciousness, and then said to the village chief with a smile: "The two of us are young and have not experienced these things, so it is inevitable that there will be a little delay, so please tell everyone that we will each have two dollars after we are done."

When the village chief heard this, he immediately smiled, patted his chest and assured that they would never let the grave move see the light of day, so he ran away.

At this time, I was relieved, and I was glad that we had cleaned up the scene thoroughly and did not leave any horses, because no one wants some secrets to be rumored beyond recognition when they are not clear.

After Liang Zi and I checked that there was really nothing in the coffin again, I took the old man's bones to the new grave to place them, and asked Liang Zi to put the turtle shell in his arms on the car when he pretended to go to the car to rest.

Due to the poor light at that time, it was not discovered, and if someone looked closely at Liang Zi, they would definitely be able to find abnormalities in his thin body.

In the second half of the night, under the roaring command of the village chief, the coffin of the grandmother was quickly dug up.

Because of my previous experience, I didn't dare to make my own decisions again, and this time I opened the coffin under the guidance of Liang Zi, but there was nothing abnormal about the old grandmother's bones, so the coffin was quickly replaced.

It was nearly five o'clock in the morning, and the relocation was completely completed.

After the firecrackers, I paid the group and dispersed.

Then, Liang Zi drove me home in a car, and when he left, he asked me to prepare food and drink at home at night and wait for him, and then went to return the car.
