Chapter 263: Carry the coffin into the firewood room

I nodded and said, "Okay, let's go."

Saying that, we followed Yang Zhiyong to the firewood room at the back of his house, as soon as I entered, I saw a very large balance there, still scattered and not assembled, I crossed my hands and waisted to look at the balance and said: "Big enough, these two big ones, little fox, Li Muyang, one for each of you."

The little fox and Li Muyang nodded, walked to the side of the two scales, and walked out with them, this scene startled Yang Zhiyong, he looked at Li Muyang and the little fox's relaxed back in surprise and said: "This, don't they feel very heavy?"

I smiled and said, "It's okay, there are two big ones, I will carry them with you, Brother Yong, you can carry the rest, oh yes, there is also a rope, you are professional, I don't need to say more."

After speaking, I walked out with two hands around the big balance wooden stick, Lao Dai also followed behind me, this time, Yang Zhiyong was shocked speechless, after a long time he came back to his senses, and chased out with a few small balance wooden sticks next to him and shouted: "Boss Lin, wait for me"!

As soon as the camera turned, the four of us carried the thickest and longest stake in the balance and walked forward without stopping, this stake, I really felt that it was not as heavy as I imagined, we soon arrived at the school, and after putting the balance stake on the ground, I exhaled and said: "Heavy or not"?

"I don't feel it". The little fox said.

Li Muyang and Lao Dai also shook their heads, I gave them a thumbs up, and then I heard Yang Zhiyong's voice come over and shout: "Boss Lin, wait for me, wait for me."

As he spoke, Yang Zhiyong ran to us and put down the small balance wooden stick, panting and said, "I said Boss Lin, you grew up from snack beef, and you don't have to pant to carry such a big stake."

I smiled and said, "We can't answer this question for you, but what I can say is that we didn't eat beef, we ate life and death."

"Life and death? What is the meal of life and death". Yang Zhiyong asked.

I shook my head and said, "You can understand it as the same industry as you, but our profession is much more dangerous than that of the coffin bearer, so let's load the scales first, and carry the coffin directly after tying it."

After speaking, I walked to the side of the balance and several buddies also came over and began to assemble the balance, the so-called balance, in fact, is similar to the ancient sedan chair, but there is an extra place to sit in the middle of the ancient sedan chair, and in turn the balance is to remove the middle of the sitting place, leaving only the wooden stakes on both sides for people to carry, and the original place in the middle of the place to sit was replaced with a coffin, so the coffin, it is necessary to use a very thick hemp rope to tie it, but also to intersperse four small balance wooden sticks under the hemp rope, In this way, it will not break the rope.

After more than ten minutes of busy work, we finally finished assembling the big stake balance, and the small one we were going to take to carry the coffin, I and a few buddies held a wooden stick, and the coffin still needed Yang Zhiyong to complete, after all, people do this business, know how to tie will not loosen, and after Yang Zhiyong finished tied, he was still riveting, and pulled the hemp rope to both sides with a red face, and then said: "Okay."

I nodded, and put the wooden stick through a slipknot that remained, Li Muyang stood opposite me, and also wore a wooden stick, and the same is true of the little fox and Lao Dai, I put the wooden stick on my shoulder and tried hard to make sure it was OK, before I spoke: "Brother Yong, build two wooden planks here."

Yang Zhiyong nodded, put the wooden plank that had been prepared long ago on the edge of the coffin pit to form a simple step, I stepped on the wooden plank with my foot again, and after making sure it was solid, I said: "Are you ready, count the numbers and lift them directly"!

The three buddies nodded, and put the wooden stick on their shoulders, and then I counted one, two, three, and lifted the coffin directly with four corners, because people will hold their breath the moment they lift heavy things, and I am the same, and after the coffin is suspended, I exhaled a breath, lowered my voice and said laboriously: "Slow, take your time, don't step on the air."

Everyone lowered their voices and muttered, did not speak, and retained the strength to walk as much as possible, Li Muyang and I walked in front, and at the same time stepped on the thick wooden board and slowly walked up, Yang Zhiyong stretched out his hand next to us to help us share the weight of the coffin as much as possible.

Slowly, slowly, Li Muyang and I stepped on the ground, just waiting for Lao Dai and the little fox to come up and take a rest, Li Muyang and I walked forward slowly, Lao Dai and the little fox slowly climbed up behind, and it took a few minutes for us to carry the coffin out of the pit.

"Put, take a break"! I held my breath and finished speaking, the three buddies all bent down and put the coffin on the ground, the moment I landed, I felt relaxed, I gasped and crossed my hands on my waist and said: "I'll go, the balance is not heavy, the coffin is heavy, then the balance plus the coffin will not be tired, and I don't know how the old Taoist priest got the coffin."

At this time, Lao Dai also gasped and said, "You say.... You said that there is only a skeleton left in the coffin, why is it still so heavy, and how many raw materials are used in this coffin".

"At least a lot". I spoke.

"At least how much". Li Muyang asked again.

I was stunned for a moment and said, "Guess."

"Roll". Li Muyang glanced at me, and then said: "Are you okay, do you want to continue walking, or do you want to rest for a while."

I thought for a moment and said, "Let's keep walking, it's really easy to get to the place."

After that, I walked to the bottom of the scale, and after the three buddies were in place, we riveted the coffin and walked forward, in order to test whether the trumpet can reduce gravity, I specially made up some trumpet words, and the song is still the same song.

We walked this part of the road very hard, after the villagers heard the sound, they all saw it one by one, but the moment they saw the coffin, some villagers were frightened to hide behind the door, and they were relieved to see that we were carrying it, we walked in the middle of the village road, on both sides of the houses, the villagers all stood at the door, the window, and some even stood on the side of the road to watch the play.

At this time, Sister Yu also heard our movements, and when Sister Yu came out, I just saw Sister Yu's figure, Sister Yu walked towards us, and said, "Did you carry it over so soon?"

I nodded, gravity lowering my throat and laboriously saying, "What time is it?"

"Half past two". Sister Yu said.

I nodded again, exhaled a breath and didn't speak, and Jian Zhao also walked out quickly at this time, and when I saw that I came back with the coffin, I walked up directly and stood in the middle to share some weight for us, the corners of my mouth raised, and I still said with great effort: "It's still a lot of people in our circle, as soon as you come, I feel a little lighter."

Jian Zhao shifted his position and said, "Family master, you said that you didn't ask me to come over to help, I thought you would wait for the lime to be mixed before carrying the coffin."

"It's okay, it's all the same, it will rain around five o'clock, and if the lime is not mixed and the coffin is raining again, it will not be good." I spoke.

Jian Zhao was stunned for a moment and said, "I said why the weather was a little abnormal just now."

"After carrying the coffin later, you go to the Yin Mansion to see where else you need to prepare."

I walked ahead and spoke.

"Good homemaker". Jian Zhao said.

I nodded, and it wasn't long before we reached the door of the common firewood house, and before we could get ready to go, I saw a special person, standing on the side of the road with a cane and a slightly bent back.

"Jianzhao, go and move two long benches to the firewood room." I said quickly.

Jianzhao nodded, walked quickly to a family next to the house, borrowed two benches and put them in the firewood room next to them, and then we moved again, carrying the coffin into the firewood room, some people who love to join in the fun are gathered around the door of the firewood room to watch, we carefully put the coffin down, the sore shoulders can be relieved.
