Chapter 14: The Coffin of the Coffin

"Digging a grave?" Wu Zhiyuan exclaimed, in his opinion, the act of digging graves is against the principles of heaven and will cost him his life.

"That's right! Let's go get the funeral goods inside, and if we're lucky, we'll be able to earn a few hundred oceans at a time. Du Yuesheng fully understands Wu Zhiyuan's surprise, people who have lived in mountain villages for a long time often rarely see the ugliness of the outside world, and their hearts are simple and kind, but they don't know that the behavior of digging graves and robbing graves has long become a common practice.

"Yuesheng, this ...... Isn't that good? Wu Zhiyuan wanted to dispel Du Yuesheng's thoughts, but he couldn't think of a reasonable excuse for a while.

"Oh, big brother, money is the money of the yang world, things are things in the world, people die like lights go out, there is only a stinky skin bag left, what's the use of putting so much gold, silver and jewelry in the coffin, we dig the grave only to rob the tomb, and do not destroy the corpse inside, take away the valuable things and bury him well, it's not a big deal." Du Yuesheng really has sharp teeth, and this set of theories at his fingertips makes Wu Zhiyuan feel that there is indeed a certain amount of truth.

"Okay. Where to dig? When to get your hands on? Wu Zhiyuan pondered for a moment, and finally decided to help Du Yuesheng.

"There is a tomb at the foot of the mountain on the outskirts of the northwest city, which is usually inaccessible, and no one pays tribute to it during the New Year's holidays, it should be an ownerless lonely grave, we will go to see it tomorrow night, and prepare tools for digging graves during the day tomorrow." Du Yuesheng had a plan in his heart, and this plan had already been released after making the decision to rob the tomb.

"Then why don't we act tomorrow during the day?" Wu Zhiyuan was puzzled, it didn't take a whole day to prepare the tools, and he could buy all the tools in half a morning.

"No matter how you say it, it's an unsightly thing, and you can hide it from people only when you do it at night." Du Yuesheng smiled secretly, thinking that this sworn brother really has no bad intentions at all, and he has no experience in even doing something bad.

"Okay, then let's rest early tonight, refresh our spirits, and act tomorrow night." Wu Zhiyuan filled the fire with a branch and leaned against the pillar to sleep.

As soon as it was dawn the next morning, Wu Zhiyuan was woken up by the sound of clanging, and when he opened his eyes, Du Yuesheng was walking in with a shovel and a pickaxe.

"Where did you get this?" Wu Zhiyuan was stunned, because it was just dawn at this time, and the market outside had not yet started.

Du Yuesheng put the tools aside, laughed dryly, and did not answer. Wu Zhiyuan suddenly understood that these two tools must have been obtained by Du Yuesheng who quietly slipped out of the house last night to take the sheep by hand.

If there is something to say, it is long and there is no word to be short, the two rested for a day, and as soon as it was dark, they set off with the guy to the northwest suburbs of the city.

With a full moon hanging in the east, the stars twinkling and the sky clear, autumn in the north always gives people a cold and quiet feeling.

Wu Zhiyuan followed Du Yuesheng's footsteps, walking among the withered weeds in the mountains, in addition to the "clacking" sound made by stepping on the dead grass, there were occasionally a few autumn insects chirping, which contrasted the night with extraordinary silence.

It's seven or eight miles from the city, and you can faintly hear dogs barking from people in the suburbs.

"Here we are." Du Yuesheng stopped and pointed to a bulging grave bag not far in front of her.

Wu Zhiyuan walked a few steps closer, only to see that this grave bag was covered with withered grass of different heights, there was no tombstone in front of the grave, and there was no trace of burning incense and burning money.

"How did you find this tomb?" Wu Zhiyuan turned his head to look at Du Yuesheng, there were neither roads nor fields around the tomb, and ordinary people would never notice this place.

"This is going to be Xie Lu Xie Namu Boss Boss, his thugs came to chase me, I panicked, and I ran here unconsciously, and I was lying behind the mound and hid all night, only to find out the next morning that it was a grave bag." Du Yuesheng rolled up his sleeves and picked up the pickaxe.

"How to dig?" Wu Zhiyuan also picked up a shovel, and he had no experience in digging graves, so he had to listen to Du Yuesheng's command.

"Grave digging bag, under the grave bag is the coffin." Du Yuesheng spat twice on the palm of his hand, picked up the pickaxe and slashed down towards the grave.

Wu Zhiyuan shoveled aside the mud dug out by Du Yuesheng with a shovel, and he helped his family work in the fields since he was a child, so he can be said to be handy in using this farm tool.

The two did not dare to stop, one digging the grave and the other removing the mud, and after a while, they dug a pit of more than five meters.

"See!" Du Yuesheng screamed with joy, threw the pickaxe aside, and dug it up with his bare hands. I saw a pitch-black coffin board peeking out from under the dirt.

Du Yuesheng glanced up at Wu Zhiyuan, revealing a look of joy. Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly put down the shovel and picked up the soil on the coffin with his bare hands with Du Yuesheng. However, after half a pillar of incense, the entire coffin was exposed to the moonlight at a glance. I don't know how many years ago the coffin was buried, the black paint on the coffin lid did not fall off, the coffin was intact, there was no trace of decay, the texture of the coffin was inferred, the whole coffin was expensive, which also indirectly indicates that the person lying inside was very likely to be a rich man before his death.

The two looked at each other and smiled, the purpose of this trip was to rob the tomb, if it was found to be a poor ghost after digging up, they could only consider themselves unlucky. So he hurriedly dug up the soil around the coffin and made room for standing to facilitate the opening of the coffin.

Du Yuesheng took the pickaxe, gouged the pickaxe into the coffin, and said goodbye forcefully, and the coffin lid "creaked" and opened in response. Du Yuesheng lifted the lid of the coffin hard, intending to lift it aside, but after exhausting his strength to feed, the heavy coffin lid only moved a few times.

"What a heavy piece of wood!" Du Yuesheng wiped the beads of sweat on her forehead and kept panting.

Wu Zhiyuan looked at Du Yuesheng's slender body, shook his head and smiled, stretched out his hand and pushed hard, the coffin lid was lifted, Wu Zhiyuan lifted the coffin lid to his chest with both hands, and was no longer able to completely lift the coffin lid aside. The wooden lid of the coffin was tightly made, and it was indeed very heavy, and Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly shouted in a hurry: "Quick! Help! ”

Du Yuesheng and his joint efforts lifted the coffin lid violently, only to hear a "bang", and the coffin lid fell over next to the coffin.

"Set of coffins?!" Du Yuesheng exclaimed, the coffin in front of him was not a dead body and burial goods, but another coffin made of black lacquered wood, which looked the same as the big coffin outside, but it was a whole set smaller in size.

"Coffin? What's wrong? Wu Zhiyuan looked at Du Yuesheng with wide-eyed eyes, and had two questions in his heart, first of all, he didn't understand why Du Yuesheng would have such an expression when he saw a coffin in the coffin, and secondly, he had never seen a set of coffins at all, because in Wujia Village, after people died, they were directly buried in the coffin, does this set of coffins mean that there is a coffin in the coffin?

"This is the situation in front of the coffin, and there is a coffin inside the coffin." Du Yuesheng sighed slightly, and replied concisely, but in fact, he was happy and sad in his heart.
