"Don't be afraid, this is a sign that the coffin has become one with the mud after it has rotted. Just dig along this line. "Yuantong confessed.

Yan Yuqing climbed up from the bottom of the pit and came to Brother Jiu and said, "Brother Jiu, didn't you say that when your ancestors were buried, they escaped from the labor camp and were hastily buried, why is there a coffin here?" ”

I laughed secretly, Brother Jiu's rhetoric has now been proven to be a lie, everyone is tacit, I don't know if this Yan Yuqing really doesn't know, or if he is pretending to be stupid, he actually asked Brother Jiu this question.

Brother Jiu said lightly: "It's been a long time, and I can't remember many details, just dig it out and take a look." ”

At this time, someone under the pit shouted: "I see the coffin!" ”

In broad daylight, the pit is covered with a pergola, and the sunlight is difficult to enter, so you can't really see it clearly if you don't look carefully. As soon as the villagers heard that the coffin had been dug up, they all squeezed forward, and I stood in a decent position and watched intently.

The lid of the coffin was exposed in the soil, and it was rotten. The people below were about to dig down, and someone shouted: "Master, come down and see, how can there be so much water?" ”

Monk Yuantong asked the people below to come up, and the soil under the pit was very wet, and there was faint water coming out. No wonder the coffin rotted so badly, it turned out that the ground was too damp, and the wood couldn't stand so erosion.

Yuantong personally took a military shovel and dug twice under the pit, only to see that the water seeped more and more, and the pit became muddy.

He thought for a while and said, "Is the village party secretary here?" ”

The village party secretary squeezed over: "Elder, I'm here." ”

"Is there a pumping machine in the village?" Yuantong asked.

"Yes, in the warehouse of the village council. It's winter and I can't use it, so it's locked. ”

Circle Channel: "Go get it." Also, Are there water boots in the village? Take a pair of ten or eight. ”

The village party secretary said: "There are these, but the water boots are all from the villagers, and if I go to requisition them, people may not be able to sell me this face." ”

Brother Jiu was impatient and glanced at the assistant. The assistant held a small leather bag under his armpit, and after pulling it open, he took out a wad of cash and stuffed it into the hand of the village party secretary: "Hurry up, be quick." ”

"Gotcha." The village party secretary was so happy that his nose was bubbling, and he hurried away with the villagers.

There is no one in the pit for the time being, and the crowd is full of excitement, and Brother Jiu has his own chair to sit in a safe place. A floating surface of the coffin has been exposed under the pit, and the water seeps more and more, is there an underground river connected to the pit?

Somehow, the sky that was originally good appeared in large areas of lead-like dark clouds, blocking the sun, and the pergola was dark black inside and outside.

Just when everyone was talking, a tractor drove in the distance, and the village chief and a few villagers arrived, with a rusty pumping machine in the back compartment and a few pairs of black rubber shoes on the car. Yuantong distributed the rubber shoes to a few young people who were digging the pit, and then instructed the village party secretary to lead people to insert the pipe of the pumping machine into the soil pit, and pump water out while digging. The dirty water pumped out is sprayed into the pond opposite.

YTO gives guidance under the pit. After digging for more than half an hour, the coffin came out of the prototype.

It can be seen that this coffin is made of ordinary wood and has no ornamentation. If the rumors are true, this coffin was buried by the Japanese, and it is indeed impossible for them to use an ancient coffin.

Brother Jiu was trembling, and he could see that he was very excited, and everyone was waiting for the moment when the coffin was opened, and they were extremely anxious.

The further down the digging goes, the more water is dug up, and the pumping machine is "suddenly" activated, and the dirty water in the pond next to it is overflowing.

During this period, some villagers left, and more villagers came, anyway, it is winter and I can't work in the fields, and the whole village basically came to see the excitement.

By ten o'clock in the morning, the entire coffin had been unearthed. The coffin was about one meter four or five tall, and the wood on the outside was rotten.

The pit was full of water, and the pump pumped like that, and the water below could still overflow the upper.

Brother Jiu watched from the pit, anxious, and shouted: "What are you waiting for, open the coffin." ”

Monk Yuantong circled around the coffin, shook his head and pondered: "No. ”

"How?" Brother Jiu asked.

Monk Yuantong ignored him, and looked up at the top, which was covered by the pergola, sheltered from the sun. He muttered, "This corpse has been transformed into a shadow corpse, and there will be celestial changes after the coffin is opened, why is it so calm now?" ”

Yan Yuqing smiled and said, "Could it be a mistake?" ”

Brother Jiu glared: "Nonsense! If you dig it wrong, how can you explain this coffin now? ”

Yan Yuqing smiled and didn't speak.

Monk Yuantong picked up the military shovel, inserted the shovel head into the crack of the coffin, and broke it hard, only to hear the strange sound of "crunching", and the coffin lid slowly opened a gap. He used his strength again, and the coffin lid could not continue to be lifted, and Brother Jiu hurriedly said, "A few people helped in the past." ”

Monk Yuantong waved his hand: "There are coffin nails on the coffin lid." He leaned down to take a closer look, stuck his shovel on the lid, and with a sudden force, a nail was lifted out.

He used the same technique to circle around the coffin, and a total of seven coffin nails were raised. In the end, they beckoned others to come and help, and everyone was afraid of being hurt by the wood, so they all wore rubber gloves and worked together to lift the coffin lid and throw it on the ground.

Everyone present poked their heads and looked down, and they were stunned.

The outer layer of the coffin turned out to be just a coffin, and there was a coffin in the coffin, and there was a cement coffin hidden inside.

Several young people used shovels to shovel, and the ground was covered with wood debris, and they smashed all the rotten wood outside, and the whole coffin inside was exposed, which was indeed a cement coffin. It looks like a cement part used in a building, with an irregular surface and no signs of manual leveling.

Brother Jiu stood up, his body reached the stage of terminal illness, and he was supported by medical staff. He came to the edge of the pit and wanted to go down, but was dissuaded by medical staff, and Brother Jiu was furious: "Say one more word, I'll let you get out." ”

The ninth brother was taken down by the people in the pit, and Yan Yuqing also jumped down. I squeezed over and tried to jump down. Someone stopped me: "What are you doing, what are you doing, go back!" ”

Brother Jiu glanced at me: "Let him come down." The other idlers were driven out of the shed, and no one was allowed to enter! ”

The young men under him were so mobile that they immediately formed a blockade and began to push people out, and the villagers were all kicked out of the pergola. The young men stood shoulder to shoulder in a circle around the shed, and no one was allowed to enter.

There were only a few of us at the bottom of the pit, and Brother Jiu, with the support of his assistant, inspected the entire cement coffin, his face was crimson, I don't know if he was sick or excited, and asked Yan Yuqing and Yuantong what they thought.

Yuantong didn't speak, Yan Yuqing was very experienced, and said: "This cement coffin is not a shaped thing, it should be a naturally poured and condensed solid." ”

"How?" Brother Jiu asked.

"If there are things inside," Yan Yuqing said, "the people who are buried put the things in advance, and then they are poured with cement and sealed, and when the cement is condensed, it becomes a coffin." Alas, trouble. ”

"What's the trouble?" Brother Jiu coughed.

Yan Yuqing said: "If there is a corpse inside, I am afraid that the cement will completely paste the corpse, and then take the bones outside, it will be particularly troublesome." I remember a case in Guangzhou, where the underworld killed people, killed people and poured them in wooden barrels with cement and then pushed them into the sea. When it was time to get it out, it took a lot of work for the police to knock off the cement little by little and sort out the bones. ”

A weird smile appeared on his face and he looked at Brother Jiu: "Brother Jiu, you lied." ”

Brother Jiu looked at him and didn't speak.

Yan Yuqing said: "You said that when your ancestors fled, they came out of the labor camp and were hastily buried in this place. But this is not the case with the cement coffin in front of me, and the person who can make such a coffin will definitely not be a laborer, and the local governor of China at that time could not make it. There is only one kind of person who can make this kind of thing. ”

Brother Jiu asked, "Who?" ”

Yan Yuqing said: "Japanese." ”

There was silence under the pit, no one spoke.

Yan Yuqing touched the surface of the cement: "Why did the Japanese seal the bones of your ancestors with cement?" How did that iron ring come out? It is said that the whole person is poured with cement, and the ring will naturally be sealed inside, and the only reason why the ring flows out now is that someone deliberately let it flow out, and in the hands of your ninth brother, will it be intentional? ”

Brother Jiu said: "Are you saying that someone is deliberately setting up a situation to guide me to open the coffin?" ”

Yan Yuqing nodded: "There are too many details here that I don't know. Wouldn't you all be in the know, why aren't you surprised at all? He looked at me and Yuantong.

Monk Yuantong clasped his hands together and sighed, "Ani Buddha Buddha".

Yan Yuqing smiled: "The iron ring is the key to the whole thing, thinking that it can get to the hands of Brother Jiu, it has its own story." ”

Brother Jiu waved his hand: "Now is not the time to discuss this, I will talk to you." Mr. Yan, I invited you to come, not for you to be Sherlock Holmes, how to open the coffin in this situation? ”

Yan Yuqing touched the cement coffin and smiled: "There is no way, I can only chisel a little bit." And we have to hope that the cement is not poured directly on the outside of the corpse, and we hope that there will be a layer of protective space inside. ”

The ninth brother said: "Then chisel, I'll arrange someone to do it." ”

Yan Yuqing looked at his watch: "I hope this process can be faster, the news of the cement coffin dug up here will definitely spread out at a very fast speed, if the relevant departments intervene at that time, I am afraid that there will be more variables." ”

Brother Jiu's face changed, "I will arrange this matter myself, so you don't have to worry about it." ”
