Chapter 3: Opening the Coffin

The opening of the museum, in our countryside is a big taboo, people are not willing to do such a thing, but also have to avoid the water life, I and my father tossed in the middle of the night, finally got together eight strong men, but the next day, God is not beautiful, early in the morning it rained heavily.

Damn, is this what the shaman said about a good day and an auspicious day?

In the morning, Qian Laoqi took the rest of the seven people to my house, and inevitably entertained them again.

"This day is like this, are we still going to break ground today?" Qian Laoqi chewed the chicken leg in one bite, pinched the wine cup and said.

"The mage said, today is an auspicious day!" Dad was drinking wine and smiling there, for fear that these people would change their minds.

At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, the group carried hoes and shovels up the mountain, and I followed behind with a fart.

Uncle's grave has just been dug out, surrounded by fresh black soil, the northeast is black soil, this kind of soil texture is fertile, when the weather is good, grab a handful in the hand and still have a sticky feeling, in the rain so drenched, stained on the shoes are two inches thick, can not shake off.

Qian Laoqi complained about the weather, and scolded and led these people to clean up the clay, the shaman mage was still the same costume I saw in the courtyard yesterday, but there was an extra peachwood sword in his hand.

I saw him swinging a sword in his right hand, and holding a yellow talisman full of various symbols in his left hand, and his two legs were swapped and jumping there, lifting him high!

After a while, people from the village gathered from all directions down the mountain, and it seems that when my father and I were looking for someone yesterday, the news still leaked.

On the point of walking the news, I have a deep experience, don't look at the rural independent courtyard, the speed of news spread is much faster than that of urban people living in a building, especially some negative news, if in the middle of the night before, whose little daughter-in-law ran away with which wild man, the next morning, the whole village will know the news.

This is the so-called good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles.

As the surrounding clay dissipated, the lid of the nanmu coffin gradually stood out, engraved with delicate dragon and phoenix auspicious patterns.

"Tsk, it's really pretty!" I heard the old women behind me already start talking.

To be honest, I'm also curious about what kind of person is buried in the coffin, whether it's a man or a woman, but I'm sure that judging from the age of the coffin, it's either white bones or dried corpses.

The villagers were staring at the Nanmu coffin with one eye, and the exaggerated performance of the shaman with the other, and their mouths were still talking.

The shaman's performance gradually entered the climax, his lips trembled with excitement, and the wooden sword in his hand shook faster and faster, just when he was dancing the most happily, he sucked a sip of wine into his mouth, sprayed it on the peachwood sword, and then lit the peachwood sword, and picked up the yellow paper note with everything written on it.

The yellow paper talisman burned under the action of the peach wood sword flame, and it burned out in a few seconds, only to hear a loud "open"! Qian Laoqi and they threw off the trick.

With a "squeak", the lid of the Nanmu coffin was opened.

The first thing that catches everyone's eyes is a piece of red cloth, what people are most concerned about, what is under the red cloth of nature, no, it should be said that it is people!

The shaman slowly lifted the red cloth, and everyone was taken aback!

The person inside the coffin was wearing a bright red dress, with satin gold patterns on it, wide cuffs, a narrow waist, and wide trousers underneath, and what was exposed in the trousers was not white bones, but a pair of full little feet, and the shoes on the feet were not the shoes worn by the dead when they died, but the "kun" shoes worn by women when they got married in ancient times, and a wooden basin was placed under the sole.

The woman wore a phoenix crown on her head, and her face under the phoenix crown was covered by a hippoa.

Everyone saw that this woman died in a "wedding dress", and everyone was curious about what the face under this hippa looked like.

"Yo he! And here's what happened! Qian Laoqi shouted excitedly there, "Let me see what is under this red hijab, and reach out to lift the red hijab."

"Don't move!" The shaman stopped him, "This hijab is not for you!" ”

Everyone's curiosity was instantly greatly discounted by this mage, but they didn't dare to refute it.

"Look at this woman, dressed in a phoenix crown, with a handkerchief on her head, and a wooden basin on her feet, if I guess correctly, there should be a charcoal fire in this wooden basin!" The shaman continued.

Qian Laoqi hurriedly turned over the wooden basin at the foot of the woman's corpse, and sure enough, there was unfinished charcoal in it, but it looked like it had been some years.

"Hey, really, mage, how do you know?" Qian Laoqi showed an expression of amazement.

"Mai brazier is the custom of wedding in the Northeast countryside, when this woman died, she put the brazier under her feet, and wore this dress, she had no other meaning, she just wanted to get married!"

"What, a dead man still wants to get married?" The crowd resounded with the sound of discussion.

"The dead are also called ghost marriages!" The shaman explained, "It is only natural that some people do not find someone in their lifetime, but they want to find their own person after they die. ”

I snorted, what kind of human feelings, ghosts' common feelings!

"Liu Laohan, you let your kid go and see, is there anything under this woman?" The shaman said to my father.

Why let me go! I was so repulsed that I pouted!

My dad grabbed me in the back for a moment, "Let you go, you go!" ”

The shaman probably saw my displeasure and walked over and patted me on the shoulder, "Among the people present, you have the heaviest yang energy on your body, go ahead!" ”

The mages have said so, how can I shirk the reason, none of the blind dates around me have retreated, everyone has a curious expression, and I am also drunk.

My shoes were covered with wet mud, and I stumbled to the front of the Nanmu coffin to see better.

The man lay there peacefully, as if asleep, and I couldn't help but look closely.

The Xipa on the woman's face is not ordinary red silk, although it is wet by the rain, it is as smooth as fine silk, showing a translucent halo, like a lotus leaf on a rainy day, holding water droplets, and the water droplets slowly connect and slide down to the edge of Xipa.

This Xipa gives me the feeling that it is the best material of the jacket fabric, impermeable, and the face of the woman under the Xipa, I am sure that it is not wet.

Although Shipa is not completely transparent, I can still see the red lips like bright red cherries on the woman's face, it is a face that I will never forget for the rest of my life, and it does not look like a dead person at all.

And around her neck, there is a blood-colored jade pendant.

"Alas! What are you doing, kid? Do as the Master says! My dad yelled at me.

I also knew that I had lost time, so I quickly touched the woman's body, and sure enough, as the shaman said, I pulled out a yellow cloth talisman, and there were still words on it that I couldn't understand.

"Is that it?" I shouted at the shaman with the yellow cloth talisman.

"Hmm!" The shaman nodded, "Take it!" ”

"Mage, what's on this?" I asked him, trying to keep my tone as low as possible.

"Birthday!"

"Is it the woman?" I pointed to the female corpse.

"Hmm!" The mage affirmed me.

"Why do you say that I have the heaviest yang energy?"

The mage looked at me and smiled weirdly, this smile did not match his age and status, and I actually felt a hint of playfulness in his eyes.

"Hehe, hey, young, the least fire, the most natural yang!" He tapped me on the shoulder a second time, "But! Let's pay attention in the future, your recent kidney qi leakage is not a good thing! ”

Wait, he said that my kidneys were leaking, did he know that I had a towel stuffed in my pants?

Why don't you save your face and ask this mage what's going on with my situation? I was thinking about whether to open my mouth when something unexpected happened.

"Knock knock", the voice I heard that night rang out again.

I hurried closer to the nanmu coffin, but this time the nanmu coffin was not the source of the sound.

The crowd was again buzzing with the content of the discussion telling me that I wasn't the only one who heard the "bang".

Since the sound didn't come from the Nanmu coffin, where did it come from? Could it be that uncle?

Everyone's eyes had already followed the source of the voice, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the uncle's coffin.

Qian Laoqi's group retreated from the vicinity of Nanmu's coffin and moved to the uncle.

"Mage, this sound is obviously coming from the coffin of the eldest brother of the Liu family, why don't you open it and take a look?" Qian Laoqi shouted at the shaman.

I suddenly had a bad premonition, this voice came really, exactly the same as what I heard that night, if the uncle still wants to "die" or something, let the villagers see it, then how embarrassed our old Liu family is.

"No, absolutely not!" I didn't care much, so I hurriedly rushed to the front of the uncle's coffin with my muddy feet, jumped over, and threw myself on the uncle's coffin board.

"What are you going to do this kid again?" Dad was obviously shocked by my actions.

"No, I really can't open it!" I looked at my father with pleading eyes, seeing the sincerity of my pleading, and my father no longer insisted, after all, the mage had not let go of the uncle's coffin, and these curious people had no reason to do it!

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, dripping down, not sparing any corner of the ground, including the woman in the Nanmu coffin, the rain drenched her body, which made the curve of her body clearer, and her plump breasts stood there, and I clearly felt that someone in the crowd swallowed and spit.
