331.Chapter 331: The Coffin of the Nine Sons (51)
Listening to Su Mengke's words, I was stunned for a moment, jumped off the tomb, dug a little dirt in the west direction, and dug a little dirt in the east position, handed it to her, and said, "Look at these two kinds of soil." ”
She took the dirt, looked at it, and said, "What does this prove?" ”
"The soil in the west is a little damp, and the soil in the east is dry, which is enough to prove that the end of the Taihang mountain flow is here. If you look at the wet mud, it is very sticky, this stickiness represents stickiness, if the water is destroyed, the stickiness of the soil is not so good. I explained it to her.
After hearing this, she thought for a while, and then didn't dwell on this issue anymore, so she said: "The tomb must be pinpointed, if something happens, it is difficult to explain." ”
I nodded, and let the middle-aged men start digging the grave. Since I had dug part of it earlier, it was easy to dig in front of me, and in less than half an hour, the tomb had been dug a meter deep.
Just when I was digging to one meter, the stone appeared, and the hardness of this stone was beyond my imagination, not that the stone was hard, but it was very soft, and as long as I hit it with a hoe a few times, it would break.
As for the reason, it is very simple, these stones have been eroded by the mountains and rivers for many years, forming calcite, one by one, which is fragile.
When I found out about this phenomenon, I was overjoyed, and in this way, the tomb would be easy to dig.
Immediately, I told them to dig faster, and it took a little more than a day for a circular tomb to come out. Of course, on this day, several of us took turns digging, and each of us dug for a while and then changed shifts, and it is worth mentioning that Su Mengke also dug for two hours.
At about 11 o'clock in the afternoon the next day, Wu said that the tomb had been dug and led the middle-aged men away. Before leaving, he left me a phone number, saying that he would call him if necessary, and Yinzi Village was willing to do his part for the funeral of the old hero.
I did not refuse their kindness, wrote down his number, and paid him another seven hundred yuan, which was the day's salary for the seven of them.
They don't want to live or die, saying that the old heroes killed so many Japanese devils and paid the price of blood for the founding of New China, and that without the anti-Japanese heroes of the old heroes' generation, there would be no peaceful and peaceful life now, how can they ask for money.
In this regard, I did not continue to insist, after all, this is their respect for the anti-Japanese heroes, if they insist on it, it will enlighten their hearts.
After they left, I was left with Su Mengke, I didn't have time to rest, I ate some dry food, and continued to be busy with the tomb, some people will definitely say, the tomb has been dug up, what else do you have to be busy?
I can only say that there are many busy things, this kind of tomb is not more special than ordinary tombs, some things cannot be replaced by others, must be done by me personally, such as, repair the tomb.
This tomb repair is not the meaning of repair, but to repair the tomb, because it is a tomb dug out by hand, and there are some places where the water chestnut of the hoe will be left, and I need to round these water chestnuts to make the tomb look like a natural circle.
The process of repairing the tomb alone, I spent almost a day, this tomb repair is considered a technical work, the hoe can not be heavier, nor can it be lighter, the heavy will make the water chestnut of the tomb deeper, and the water chestnut can not be completely eliminated if it is light, you must use a hoe to shovel, slowly repair those water chestnuts, so that the tomb becomes round.
After finishing this, I dug twenty-eight small pits in the bottom wall of the tomb, the size of my thumb, and put twenty-eight small black pebbles, which means twenty-eight constellations, to protect the tomb of the old hero with these twenty-eight constellations, which can suppress some lonely souls and wild ghosts in the vicinity.
Afterwards, I asked Su Mengke to throw two pieces of plastic tape down, wrap her feet, and then remove some dirt and footprints from the bottom of the tomb.
I originally planned to burn some yellow paper, do some rituals, and inform the land lord of Taihang Mountain that this tomb has an owner.
However, remembering what the ninth son of the Lu family said, the nine sons and nine mourning, I dispelled this thought. Because, I don't know how many graves the old hero dug up, and I don't know if the old hero will sleep in this tomb, after all, there will be nine coffins in the nine sons and nine funerals, and God knows which coffin the old hero will lie in.
Thinking of this, I shouted to Su Mengke above the tomb, "Miss Su, the tomb has been completed, put a rope down." ”
After a while, I threw a rope down from the top of the tomb, and I looked at the tomb with a flashlight, and there was no problem, so I bit the hoe with my teeth and climbed up the rope.
After climbing up to the tomb, I found a large piece of plastic tape to cover the top of the tomb, and picked up some stones nearby to press the corners of the tape.
After getting this done, the last procedure remains, which is to fill in the graves, not the freshly made graves, of course, but the graves where the nine corpses are buried.
Because the previous soil was sludge and it could not be used, I re-dug some soil more than 10 meters away from the tomb, and then picked up the soil there and filled the surrounding area of the tomb.
It was a physical task of digging, picking and filling in the mud, and it took me a full day to fill in the area around the tomb.
During this period, Su Mengke has been sitting there, either playing with her mobile phone or putting on makeup on the mobile phone screen, which makes me wonder very much, who is she putting on makeup in this deep mountain and old forest? Woman, it's incredible.
What I enjoyed more, though, was that she would come over and give me a back thump every time I took a break. To borrow a sentence from Jackie Chan's eldest brother, I originally refused, where did I know that her skills were very good, duang's was very comfortable, and she could drive away the fatigue of her body, so she did it.
When everything was done in the tomb, it was already noon on the fifth day after entering the mountain, a day and a half earlier than the expected time, and Su Mengke said, I didn't agree to go out of the mountain.
Because I remembered that when I first entered the mountain, she said that there were 'ghosts', and I was afraid that the tomb would be destroyed by the 'ghosts', so I climbed to the tree with Su Mengke's mobile phone, made a call to Jiang Ye, and told him about the situation here.
He simply said, "Stay there and call you in ten minutes." ”
Ten minutes later, Jiang Ye called me back a little and said, "Xiao Jiu, you stay there first, there will be a platoon of troops coming to Taihang Mountain in the evening, let them guard the tomb, and you will go back to Lujia Village immediately." ”
I asked him, "Master Jiang, where are you now?" ”
He said: "Lujia Village. ”
As soon as I heard this, I guessed that Jiang Ye had already made the tombstone, otherwise he would not have returned to Lujia Village.
Afterwards, we talked a few more words, and I remembered that Joyce said that there was an accident at the funeral, so I asked Jiang Ye what was going on, but he didn't tell me, so he asked me to go back to Lujia Village as soon as possible.
Hanging up the phone, I climbed down the tree pole, talked to Su Mengke about the situation, and then leaned on the tree pole to rest.
I don't know what's going on, I heard that we were going out of the mountain in the evening, Su Mengke's expression was a little lost, and he didn't care about the dirty ground, so he sat down next to me.
