9. Opening the Grave (Part II)

I came back to the place where the grass was overgrown, and stood in front of the tombstone again. 5201314926 I still can't calm down.

To be honest, I have a good relationship with Yang Xiaoqi, we usually drink and eat together, he is a very talkative person, and at the same time has a particularly attractive temperament.

I can't explain his character either, but it's easy to feel close.

When I stood again in front of the stone tablet, I suddenly felt a sense of fear.

In case there is a body inside the coffin after a while is dug up, will I not and can I accept that reality? What should I do then? Do you take his body to the police station and say to the chief, "Look, your man is dead in the line of duty and is still buried in the village", or is it to bury him back here.

If I go to the police station, will the police fine me or something, you know, ordinary private cars can't transport corpses.

A lot of thoughts popped up in my heart, some of them were even funny, but I couldn't laugh at all.

Ali looked at the stele and the brand-new mound and asked, "Is this it?" ”。

I nodded, took a deep breath, and spat into my hand and began digging into the still soft mound.

This sapper shovel is the most convenient and fast digging tool, much easier to use than the usual shovel, and much easier. But even so, I was tired and panting. It's not a big deal, and Ali has almost cleaned my body in the past few days.

Forget it, let's not talk about it.

Getting back to business,

When I finally leveled the high grave, all that was left was to dig down. I took a break from a cigarette when a black crow perched on the roof of a nearby house.

The crow's strange croaking was uncomfortable, and I picked up a tile from the ground and threw it at the crow.

I was a little far away from the crow, and I didn't hit it. I watched as the small tile fell into the courtyard in front of me, only to hear a 'pop' and the sound of glass breaking.

It's not good, I'm clumsy, and I smashed someone's glass. Fortunately, there is no one living here, otherwise he would not be scolded to death.

Ali laughed at me on the side, not to make fun of me, but to smile very gently.

I didn't feel good when I saw her. What will we do in the future of our relationship, could it be that after Li Jiatuozi went back, he pretended that nothing had happened.

She continues to be her boss lady and I continue to be my third-rate writer?

I think she must disagree.

It's a big head when you think about it, and you don't think about it at all.

When I was almost done, I continued to dig the grave.

This kind of hard work doesn't help Ali at all. She's here to give me courage. Now, however, I find that her presence is necessary, because the surroundings are so gloomy that I am not able to overcome the fear in my heart.

After all, I'm still an ordinary person after all, and I haven't experienced many strange things like Yang Xiaoqi. For ordinary people, digging graves requires considerable guts. I don't have the guts to face this alone.

The sapper shovel in his hand in his cranky hand slammed into a hard object. My heart jumped, and the next second I realized that it was the sound that had been dug into the coffin.

Similarly, ordinary people still have a fear of coffins.

I organize my thoughts and control my fears. Slowly remove the layer of soil that covers the coffin.

Finally, I finally saw a coffin wrapped in black paint. This is a coffin, not a coffin, inside is a corpse, only a layer of wood that is not too thick.

I took another puff of cigarette to give myself a fright, or rather a boost.

Ali handed me a shovel on the pit, and I slowly knocked out the nails of the coffin, the paint of the coffin was so new that it could even look like a human being, and I could even see my own teeth grinning when I knelt on it to pry the nails.

When the coffin nails were knocked out, there was a screeching sound, and the scalp of the listener was numb. There were thirteen nails in total, and I pried them all out.

After that, I put the sapper shovel into the crack of the coffin and pry it side by side.

Because it was in the pit, I didn't use much strength, but fortunately, the coffin lid was not very heavy, and in the end I turned out a corner and went out.

Probably because of being in the pit, when the lid of the coffin was pried open, I didn't even see the situation inside the coffin for a while.

However, I didn't smell the rotting corpses, and I think it's winter, and even if the corpses are rotting, they shouldn't stink too much. I thought again, maybe this Yang Xiaoqi was buried after being cremated. If it is really cremated, there should be a photo of Yang Xiaoqi on the urn, so there is no need to worry about not recognizing him.

I carefully made the gap in the lid of the coffin a little bigger with a sapper shovel to let the sunlight in.

Really.

There were no bodies inside, and there were no urns.

This is a well-dressed mound. I was overjoyed and looked at Ali outside the pit.

Ali also stared at the inside of the coffin, looked and looked, and said, "Empty." ”。

"Empty." I repeated, and at the same time the stone that was pressing on my heart finally let go.

Ali looked at her and said, "What do you think is that?" ”

I was startled and looked inside the coffin again. I saw a small wooden box on the corner of the coffin. It was under the lid of the coffin, no wonder I didn't see it at first.

When I saw the wooden box, I chuckled in my heart, I can't be so sad, right, you kid was really cremated?

It wasn't until I saw that there was no picture on the wooden box that I was relieved. Make sure this is not an urn.

I picked up the wooden box with a shovel and handed it to Ali outside, and then turned over myself to see what was inside.

The wooden box was made of mahogany and was not locked, but was only sealed with a layer of fire paint at the seams. Looking at the age of the wooden box, it should be an antiquity, I don't know if there will be a mechanism or something in it.

When Ali saw the wooden box, she was anxious to open it to see what was going on inside, but I stopped her. I said to her, "This wooden box is not a modern thing, it should be an antiquity." Let's not open it hastily, there may be some danger inside. ”。

Ali looked at me, nodded, and asked if I wanted to take it back and study it.

"Of course" jokes, this is something left by Yang Xiaoqi, for me, Yang Xiaoqi is full of secrets. I even want to take out his and study it.

Looking at the empty coffin, I thought to myself, Yang Xiaoqi, Yang Xiaoqi, why are you setting up a mound here?

When I wanted to put the coffin back on, I suddenly became childlike, took out the cigarette, removed the cigarette case, and wrote on it with a ballpoint pen:

Something I took and borrowed to study today. I'll give it back to you when I open it. Who told you kid not to finish his story.

When he had finished writing, he threw the cigarette case into the coffin along with a few cigarettes, sealed it with earth, and put the grave up again, and when it was all done, it was already afternoon, and Ali and I took the mahogany box and walked towards the house where we lived.

Ali picked up the box and shook it on the way, only to hear a sound from inside, it sounded like a hard object, and I was even more curious about what was inside the wooden box?
