I looked at the flat wells around me, threw the shovel up and said, "It's over."

After speaking, I climbed up the deep pit and pulled the three buddies up, and the village chief turned his head to look at the side at this time, and was also stunned when he saw us coming up, and said: "You guys, have you dug it well?"

I nodded and clapped my hands, because of the direct sun, I looked at the village chief with a slight frown and said, "Dig it."

The village chief was stunned again and said, "So fast."

I smiled, wiped the sweat from my forehead with the back of my hand, walked over and said, "It's only a little deep, it won't take long, what about you here, how about the limes."

I looked at the lime on the ground, and the village chief smiled awkwardly and said, "It hasn't been mixed yet."

I nodded and said, "It's okay, take your time, it's noon, go back and finish eating, we'll just come over."

The village chief was stunned for a moment and said, "How good is this, let's just stir the lime, let's come."

After the village chief finished speaking, Li Muyang patted my hand and said: "Just let the village chief and them come, I know how you want to arrange it, but after all, it is a coffin, and it has been cursed, so it is more conservative for a few of us to carry it."

Listening to Li Muyang's words, I thought for a while before I nodded and said, "Okay, then let's do it, village chief, is there an empty house in the village, no one has lived in it, and there is a place where the coffin can be temporarily parked."

The village chief was stunned, looked at me and thought about it, and said, "It seems that there is, I will take you over at noon."

I nodded, patted the ash on my hand again, and said, "Let's go, then go back first."

The village chief said hello and beckoned a few villagers to go back, and when we got home, we ate a lunch prepared by Sister Yu and Jianzhao at home, and then the village chief took us to the empty house he said.

On the way, we took a cigarette handed by the village chief, as the saying goes, a cigarette after a meal is better than the living gods, in fact, I don't know what the purpose of this sentence is, but people who can smoke a cigarette after eating, that feels really comfortable, of course, smoking is not promoted here, smoking is harmful to health, please don't be misled.

I lit the cigarette handed to me by the village chief, spit out a puff of smoke and said, "Village chief, I will find two rainproof cloths to spread on the lime and the well, it will rain until 9 o'clock in the afternoon, and if it rains during this period, the lime will be soft and the soil will be loose, and then I will have to work again."

The village chief was stunned for a moment and said, "Will it rain in the afternoon, such a big sun, can't it?"

The village chief looked up at the sky with a big sun, and I smiled and exhaled a puff of cigarette and said, "If you don't believe it, you'll know by looking at it in the afternoon."

"Okay, I'll find two tarpaulins later."

I nodded, and the village chief pointed to a dilapidated house in front of me and said, "This is it, no one has ever lived in it, it used to be firewood, and it was a common firewood."

"Utility firewood? What about firewood? Does that mean everyone in the village shares it together?" Lao Dai asked.

The village chief nodded and said, "Yes."

"Then who's responsible for cutting ah"? The little fox chimed in.

"Who's responsible? This one has turns, in fact, my village, there is no difference from outside, every day people go to the mountains to cut firewood, and the firewood they carry back is placed here, and no one steals indiscriminately, and today who takes turns to chop firewood, that person will be very conscious, so our village, there is still discipline, but it is a little poorer."

The village chief said embarrassedly, I glanced at a few buddies next to me and said, "Yes, discipline can be rich, come one step at a time, this is not in a hurry."

The village chief smiled with his hands behind his back and said, "Hopefully, the village has been poor for decades and can't stand it."

As we spoke, we arrived at the door of the common firewood house, and the village chief took the key to unlock it and pushed open the door and said, "There is still space in the main hall, you can put a coffin in it."

I walked in and looked around, and said, "It's good here, the public firewood and the coffin have the meaning of money, and it doesn't hurt to put it overnight, maybe fate will turn around, and tomorrow the sky will drop money."

I said half-jokingly, why do I say it's half-joking, because I'm not sure, but according to feng shui, this fate is really uncertain, the village chief also smiled and said: "Okay, I'll go to find the rainproof cloth first, mix the lime as soon as possible, and bury it directly tomorrow."

I nodded and said, "Okay, just finish mixing before five o'clock, let's go carry the coffin later, oh yes, the village chief, there are still some things, you have to help us find them."

"Scales and ropes"? The village chief directly said what I wanted, I smiled and nodded and said, "Yes, the scales and the rope".

"You don't have to look for this, this door goes out and turns right to the third house, there is a coffin bearer, he has a balance and a rope in his house, you used to say that Yang Xiaoyun called to get the balance, he will give, if you need someone to help carry it, you can call him, he is a master, some taboos about carrying the coffin are understood, I think, he should not give you trouble."

Hearing the village chief's words, I shook my head and said, "You are serious, then we will go over now."

"Okay, then I'll go to the limes too."

I nodded and said, "Okay."

The village chief also nodded, we just went our separate ways, according to the village chief said, we came to the right turn of the third door, I took the lead in knocking on the door, after a long time, I also knocked for a while, there was only someone inside opened the door, as soon as it was opened, I saw this person looking at us with sleepy eyes and frowning and asked, "You are"?

"We".

"Oh, you're Boss Lin, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just woke up, I didn't see my lover, come in, come in, drink saliva." This person's attitude changed instantly, as fast as a moving car, a few of us were welcomed in by him, and after sitting on the chair, he poured us a glass of water, and then said: "Boss Lin, drink water, drink water."

I nodded and said thank you, and after taking a sip of water, I continued: "What do you call it"?

"Oh, I believe in Yang, my name is Yang Zhiyong."

"With the village chief's surname"?

"By the way, I'm related to the village chief." Yang Zhiyong nodded and said with a smile.

I also nodded and said, "I heard that you are engaged in the work of a coffin bearer, so you should have those tools in the scales, right?"

Yang Zhiyong was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes, this guy who eats must have Ah."

"Oh, that's okay, we're here to borrow the scales, and the village chief called us here."

"Hey, if the village chief doesn't call you to come, I will borrow it too, but Boss Lin, what are you doing with borrowing the balance."

"Then what do you say your scales are used for?" Li Muyang talked to Yang Zhiyong in a broken southwestern official dialect, Yang Zhiyong was stunned for a moment, and said: "Ah, who carries the coffin."

"Wouldn't that be fine, ask some questions?" Li Muyang said lame again.

I couldn't help but smile and said, "Lao Li, you still need to learn more in the Shancheng dialect, I am happy to hear it."

Li Muyang cut off and said, "I didn't say it seriously, otherwise it would be more standard than you."

I smiled again and didn't speak, and then Lao Dai asked again: "Do you make money as a coffin bearer?" Or do you go to other villages to pick up business?"

"They all went, and more than a dozen villages around here took over business."

Lao Dai was stunned for a moment and said, "That's not very profitable."

"Hey, what do you earn, it's all the dead man's money you earn, and the dead man's rice you eat." Yang Zhiyong waved his hand and said.

"It's enough to fill your stomach, right, the world is impermanent." I said.

Yang Zhiyong nodded with a smile and said, "Boss Lin, when do you want the scales."

I glanced at the time and said, "Right now."

"Carry the coffin, which one". Yang Zhiyong asked.

I waved my hand and said, "There is no one, it is the coffin in the school, it will be reburied tomorrow, and it will be temporarily stopped in the common firewood room for one night today."

"Oh~ The coffin at the school, yes, I'll go get it now, and go over to help by the way." Yang Zhiyong suddenly realized.

I was stunned for a moment and said, "Is it convenient for you?"

"It's convenient, it's definitely convenient." Yang Zhiyong said with a smile.
