Chapter 387: Glutinous Rice
Li Tao didn't stop doing anything, and the bottom of the coffin was cut open, and the ground was full of wood chips, and the others were dumbfounded. I really couldn't stand it, so I went over to persuade him: "Brother Li, it's almost there, after all, it's your grandfather's coffin." ”
Li Tao was sweating profusely, sitting on the ground depressed, throwing the shovel aside, swearing in his mouth.
This thing is really puzzling, where is the corpse?
Li Bugou was very smart and said, "Could it be that grandpa's body was not buried at all?" ”
Liu Jinshui, an old villager, shook his head: "When your grandfather passed away, I was helping to handle the white affairs at the time, and I was also the main suona, and the whole process followed. ”
A villager next to him said: "When I pried the coffin just now, I didn't find any coffin nails. ”
The monk walked to the coffin, examined it carefully, and looked at the coffin lid that was turned aside. He thought for a moment, took a long, flat nail out of his pocket, and gestured it over a gap in the coffin lid.
Liu Jinshui said: "Little Master, how can you have a coffin nail?" ”
The crowd gathered around to see.
The monk took out a total of six coffin nails and compared them in six places on the coffin lid, and we saw that each nail could be checked with a gap on it, which means that the six nails should have been pried off the coffin lid of this coffin.
Li Tao was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and said for a long time: "Little Master, how can the nails on my grandfather's coffin be here with you?" ”
The monk looked at me: "This was discovered by Lord Feng last night." ”
I was afraid that they would misunderstand, so I quickly told me about the nail in the coffin I found in the cabinet last night. Li Tao and Li Bugou looked at each other, Li Bugou was very smart, and immediately made an inference: "You mean, my grandfather's coffin was pried open very early?" And the person who pried the coffin and nailed the coffin in our family's old house? ”
"As things stand, that's true." I say.
"Who did it?" Li Tao asked.
I shook my head: "I don't know. ”
Li Bugou slapped his thigh violently: "I know." ”
And the people looked at him.
Li Bugou said: "Will this be the case, in addition to my grandfather letting his children and grandchildren move the coffin for 20 years in his will, he also has another alternative plan and entrusts a friend to help move the body." Once the children and grandchildren forget something, this candidate will appear and remove the body. ”
I shook my head: "If that's the case, why are you still implicated in Feng Shui?" Supposedly, if you really want to move the corpse, you shouldn't have a problem. ”
"So what's going on?" Li Bugou muttered.
I smiled wryly, God knows how.
After tossing for a long time, a strange thing came to fruitlessness, and the old man's body disappeared. At this time, some people said that if only the coffin had not been destroyed, maybe they could find clues. Li Tao was about to cry: "Why didn't you say it earlier." ”
Now there is a mess everywhere, the coffin has been dismantled, and the ground is full of mud, even if someone came to steal the coffin before, now it can't be seen, and the scene is destroyed.
Li Tao was still unwilling, and after discussing with Li Bugou, he promised to give the villagers a lot of money and let them continue digging.
Everyone looked at Secretary Wang of the village committee, and Secretary Wang spoke: "If people give money, you can dig it." ”
A few villagers spitted their palms, jumped into the grave pit and continued digging, and an hour passed after digging, and there was no in it, but the groundwater was about to be dug out. One villager said with a bitter face: "You can't dig anymore, you can dig a well if you dig again." ”
Li Tao saw that he really couldn't dig up anything, so he stopped, and everyone hastily stuffed the coffin that was almost split into a mess of wood back into the tomb, and several villagers regretted: "How good it is to burn a good wood." ”
Secretary Wang of the village committee was furious: "This is the coffin of the old man, you have to take it back to burn the fire, and you are not afraid of retribution." ”
Everyone muttered: "My grandson doesn't care about retribution, what does it have to do with us." ”
Li Tao and Li Bugou sat on the tombstone with gloomy faces. They filled it all back and made a mound out of the grass.
By the time we came down from the mountain, the dawn had already broken and the chickens in the village were crowing.
Everyone was sleepy and tired, so they rode back to the village. The village director, Secretary Wang's attitude towards us is obviously not good, digging the coffin tonight is really human, especially Li Tao, who almost didn't tear down his grandfather's grave.
Secretary Wang and the villagers ignored us, so we had to go back to the old house.
Li Bugou said, you go to the house to sleep, I will be in the car, and I won't go back to sleep if I am killed.
The three of us went back to the house, and Li Tao found a place to sleep by himself. When I went back to the room where the nails of the coffin were found, I was so sleepy that I couldn't open my eyes and saw the monk walking around on the ground pinching the nails.
I yawned, "Master, go to bed." ”
The monk asked me to go to bed early, and I didn't care about him, I went to the kang and lay down and fell asleep. I don't know when I slept until I heard the sound of chanting, which was very calm, and made me sleep very sweetly.
When I was sleeping soundly, I suddenly felt someone sleeping next to me behind me. I was half asleep and half awake, and I subconsciously thought that this monk would not be gay. I poked my elbow and muttered, Master, don't bother me.
Suddenly I felt that something was wrong, and I subconsciously looked back and saw the face of a gloomy old man.
I've been through a lot of battles, but it's so sudden that I feel weak all over. This process took less than a second, and when I opened my eyes, I saw the monk sitting cross-legged on the ground, making a sword finger with one hand, pointing at me.
Only then did I realize that it was not this monk who was behind me just now.
I hurriedly sat up, "Yes, what's going on?" ”
Neng Zhi's face was solemn: "I have been blessed in this room, and the yin qi here is extremely heavy. Originally, I thought that the yin qi came from the coffin nails in the cabinet, but now I don't see it. ”
I suddenly understood, and looked at the clay kang under me: "This bed ......"
Nengzhi stood up from the ground: "Yes, did you see a vision just now?" ”
"I saw an old man behind me......" I said with a sigh of relief.
Neng Zhi nodded, walked to the side of the kang, and touched the kang with his hand. He said to me, "Go and call the Li brothers in." ”
When I got out of the house, I first went to call Li Tao, and then went to the car outside to call Li Bugou. Neither of them slept well, and with panda eyes, they muttered what they were doing, but they still followed me into the back room.
Neng Zhi said: "Two, I'm afraid I already know where your grandfather's bones are." ”
"Where?" Both asked at the same time.
Nengzhi pointed to the kang in front of him and said, "It's here." ”
Li Bugou blinked and said suspiciously: "Someone stole my grandfather's body and sealed it in an earthen kang?" What is this road number? ”
Neng Zhi shook his head: "I don't know anything, I can only dig it out and take a look." ”
Li Tao stood up and walked out: "I'll borrow tools." ”
Li Bugou instructed in the back: "Don't tell anyone else, let's do it ourselves." ”
Li Tao drove the car and came back half an hour later, beckoning us at the door to get tools. He complained that the people in the village didn't pay much attention to him, and he drove to a hardware store quite far away to buy tools.
There were four or five brand-new shovels, pickaxes, and hammers on board, and the four of us took our tools and went into the back room. Li Tao and Li Bugou got on the kang, and the monk and I were on the ground, and the four of us took a sip in the palm of our hands, and at the same time opened the pickaxe and started drying.
The soil kang is particularly hard, and after dozens of minutes of planing, the planed kang is full of loess debris. Digging and digging, a layer of cement was exposed under the loess. Li Tao squatted on the ground and knocked it with his hand, and said, "I have to hit it with a hammer." ”
We changed our tools, pulled out the sledgehammer, and you and I slammed the cement surface, and the sound came far away.
It has been smashed for more than an hour, and the four of them took shifts, and finally smashed the cement through, revealing a Hesse hole underneath. We slowly expanded the hole with a shovel and finally revealed what was underneath.
This earthen kang is really hollow, the outermost is loess mud, the middle layer is a cement cover, and there is a corpse bed in the innermost.
We flashed our flashlights, and there was a corpse lying on the corpse bed. The body was wrapped in a kind of gray-white linen, and the red rope was tied back and forth several times, and it was tied in a very strange way.
Li Tao beckoned Li Bugou to go down and carry the body up, and the monk quickly stopped them, and he asked Li Tao if there were any candles left after going to the grave. Li Tao hurriedly went outside to look for it in the car, and came back after a short time and took four or five long waxes.
Holding one of the candles, he held his breath and jumped down, carefully placing the candle next to the corpse bed. The candle emits a turquoise flame that looks very eerie.
Able to hold it up from below, this is the breath evenly. I was surprised and said, "Yes, what are you doing here, you learned it from tomb robbing?" ”
Neng Zhi shook his head: "It's common sense. I don't know how long it has been sealed below, but it's actually a small tomb, and the corpse gas inside is very heavy, and it's easy to be poisoned if you go down, and you need to light a candle to see the flames. ”
We waited and watched the flames burn silently below.
I suddenly saw something stained under the monk's shoes that I could hold, and reminded him, so I raised my feet to look at it, twisted the white particles and smelled it: "It's glutinous rice, and there is glutinous rice all over the ground." ”
