Grandpa said, "If this living zombie is sealed in a coffin, everything will be fine." In another year and a half, the flesh will rot and the living zombie will become a pile of rotten bones. But if the coffin is opened now, it just gives it a chance to escape, and if it can't be stopped, it will cause terrible consequences. ”

But the pawnshop owner did not listen to the persuasion, and insisted that Chen Shaojin was a tomb robber and wanted to send him to prison. Chen Shaojin swore that he did not rob the tomb, but he couldn't get strong evidence that the gold medal was not stolen. And the government can't think of a better way.

"You have to open the coffin to decide." They all agreed.

Grandpa said helplessly: "It's okay if you want to open the coffin, but can you wait a few days." In five days, there will be no moon on the night of the fifth day, and I will go with you to do the Dharma. It's best if it's okay, and if something happens, there's a way to save it. Do you think it's okay? ”

Seeing that Grandpa's request was not excessive, the others agreed to dig up the grave and open the coffin on the fifth day.

And on the fifth day, I happened to have a holiday, so I could go with my grandfather.

On the fifth day, the pawnshop owner, Chen Shaojin, took his son, my grandfather and I, three grave-digging laborers, two government officials and two witnesses, and took two vans to Mengjia Mountain.

Grandpa brought a peachwood sword, a bag of lime powder, and a few yellow paper talismans. The peachwood sword was still used when catching water ghosts, and the original smell of peachwood has disappeared. The lime powder was newly bought, and I originally wanted to borrow the leftovers from others to build a house, but I was afraid that people would think that this would affect the feng shui of the new house, so I gave up. The yellow paper talisman is divided into two piles, one of which is carried by the grandfather himself, and it is used when doing it; I'll take a pile of them, just in case they send them to everyone.

We set off very early, and when we arrived at Mengjia Mountain, the sun had not yet set. We had to wait until it was dark and the children were already home from school to make sure there were no pedestrians on the road.

It was completely dark, and there was no moon, but there were barely some stars that were not bright or dark, so I couldn't see anything clearly. It's just that the wind is stronger, and it makes a whining, crying-like sound.

Guided by the pawnshop owner and Chen Shaojin, we walked halfway up the mountain. I only heard Chen Shaojin's story before, and I didn't come to Mengjia Mountain in person. This time, the ancient trees were deformed, and the grass was devoid of knees.

After stumbling through the grass for about five minutes, we came to a grave. The handwriting on the bluestone tombstone is not legible, and there are two square meters of tiles in front of the tombstone, like the steps of ordinary households. The grave was surrounded by wild grass.

The three laborers stepped on the soil on the grave, tried where to start digging, spat on the palms of their hands, picked up the hoe and began to dig. The two government officials and the two Witnesses did not seem to be very enthusiastic about the matter, and opened a bag of ripe melon seeds and chatted and joked.

The pawnshop owner and Chen Shaojin stared at every piece of soil that was dug up, as if this hoe dug down, and the next hoe would hit the coffin.

The grandfather placed a yellow paper charm around the seven meters of the grave and pressed it with stones. I took advantage of the time to pick up fist-sized stones for my grandfather. If the stone is small, the yellow paper charm will be blown away by the wind, and when the stone is large, it will cover the yellow paper symbol.

After the yellow paper charm was pressed around the grave, the grave was almost dug. The end of the coffin's head was already exposed. When it comes to burial coffins, we have to talk about its shape and burial methods. The two ends of the coffin were not the same size, but the end of the head of the corpse was much larger and taller than the end where the foot was placed, and its shape was like a wooden wedge. The burial is not to put it in a pit and then fill in the soil, but to make a brick hole in advance, which is called Shuangjin Cave in dialect. Because the holes are usually dug next to each other, one for the husband and the other for the wife.

When people are old and not dead, they must make double gold caves in advance. When it is time to be buried, it is only necessary to stuff the coffin into a double gold hole, such as a drawer box, and then plug the hole with bricks.

However, due to the infiltration of rainwater, the Shuangjin Cave is easy to collapse and suppress the coffin inside, so it is still necessary to find a good place to start when digging.

After a while, the laborers used a hoe to remove the earth and stone bricks pressed on the coffin, and the whole coffin was revealed.
