My grandmother was bedridden for a long time because of the sequelae of stroke, so she had some Alzheimer's, but I believe that what she said to me was absolutely true, when my grandfather and a young man in the same village, that is, Zhenmin's father, entered an ancient tomb, and my grandmother repeatedly emphasized: The two of them did not go to rob the tomb, but they were still cursed.

After my grandfather came back, he had acute aphasia, which dragged on for more than half a month and did not get better, so he went to see a barefoot doctor, thinking it was acute laryngitis, and prescribed some oxytetracycline casually, but after using it, it still did not improve, and finally it was difficult to even eat, so he had to go to the county hospital for examination, and it was determined to be throat cancer, which was already in the advanced stage. My grandfather had been a long-term laborer and farmer all his life, and he was illiterate, so naturally he did not leave a will.

And after Zhenmin's father returned home, he could still speak, but since then he has become silent, and no matter how others ask him, he refuses to answer that he has been to the ancient tomb with Lao Xue, that is, my grandfather. After my grandfather passed away, my grandmother started to build a new house for my uncle, and Zhenmin's father took the initiative to come over to help, but when he was lifting the beam, he was crushed to death by the falling beam.

My grandmother was so tired of all these things to me at once, that she fell asleep before she finished her bowl of soup.

As I lay on my cousin's bed, I couldn't sleep, and I was sure that my grandfather and Zhenmin's father must have encountered something unspeakable in the ancient tomb, and although they tried their best to keep it a secret, they still couldn't escape.

I don't want to participate in moving my grandfather's grave, but my cousin went to work in a distant country, and my cousin went to high school in the county seat, so I couldn't come back to help.

Early the next morning, after we had breakfast cooked by my aunt, my uncle said, "We will start moving the grave today, and we must hurry up." ”

I hurriedly said that I seemed to be sick and a little dizzy, and asked if I could not go?

Uncle first asked Brother Zhenmin to start the tricycle, and he whispered to me: "I know you are cowardly, but you must participate, and when you help your grandfather move the grave, you can pick whatever you want in the old house, and take it with you if you like that?" ”

I smiled bitterly, my grandfather has been a long-term worker for half his life, a farmer for half his life, and God bless the family to have enough to eat, what other good things can there be?

But it's already here, so you can't refute your uncle's face, right? I had no choice but to respond, but to state in advance, I would never restrain the bones. The uncle agreed, and he took a bite of the woven bag.

My grandfather's coffin was placed in a cave in a ravine near the fox ditch in the middle of the mountain, not far from the town of Huimeng, but the road was not easy to walk. Brother Champion rode an imported motorcycle and carried a mason, and I took a tricycle with Brother Zhenmin and my uncle to lead the way.

This ditch, we are not unfamiliar, but because more than ten years have not been here, so do not recognize the road, the ditch is full of weeds more than one person high, the uncle sighed: "Now there are fewer people raising cattle and sheep, and no one wants weeds, if it is changed to before, it will not grow so tall at all!" ”

The tricycle's tires ran over the dry grass thick with fritters and came to a halt on a slope.

I stood in the car and looked ahead, and I forgot where I was.

Brother Zhenmin jumped off the bridge and explained: "There is no road ahead, we can only walk over!" ”

My uncle told us, "Then we have to hurry, we must complete the relocation today." ”

Brother Champion also stopped his motorcycle, took the mason, carried a cardboard box, and straddled a cloth bag, and threw paper money into the sky as he walked.

The sky was overcast, the wind was blowing from the other side of the ravine, whistling, and the dry grass was blown and shaking, as if there were people or wild beasts hiding in it, Brother Zhenmin drew a woodcutter, and while opening the way ahead, he guessed: "There may be wolves in this ravine." ”

When I was a child, I was also very afraid of wolves, and I only knew that a villager in the same village bit off an ear, and from then on, he gave "one ear".

But when I grew up, I was not afraid of wolves because I had never been in contact with them. But I'm still afraid of the dead, especially the ones I know.

The further he went, the more familiar the scenery became, and in front of a cave that was almost buried in mud, the uncle stopped, and then looked around, and after getting the affirmation of the old mason and the champion, he took out two shovels and began to dig.

Brother Zhenmin and his uncle started digging first, and I tried not to look at the hole with the thickness of the bucket, but there was a cry of jackdaws from the cliff, and I felt a little unlucky.

Brother Champion opened the cardboard box, which was full of firecrackers, incense, candles, paper money, and sacrificial melons and fruits, and the old mason was already using Brother Zhenmin's woodcutter to clean up the dead grass near the cave, otherwise it would be easy to cause a mountain fire.

I helped Brother Champion to place the melon and fruit offerings, and the old mason's hands were also very fast, and in less than a stick of incense, five or six square meters of open space were cleared, and Uncle and Brother Zhenmin were also tired of digging, so I went into battle with Brother Champion.

The cave was so dark that I couldn't see anything clearly, but I stood behind Brother Champion and cleaned up the dirt he had dug up.

This kind of soil is reddish-brown in color, and it is very strong to make adobe houses and withstand wind and rain.

Brother Champion was also tired of digging, so he went to the side, lit a cigarette, I couldn't help but look into the cave, and suddenly a yellow fox jumped out of it, and I sat on the ground with a frightened "Mom".

The uncle scolded, and went to chase after him with a woodcutter, but was stopped by the old mason.

Who can tolerate the earth dog and wild fox occupying the grave of their loved ones?

The cave was dug open, revealing a bluestone slab inside, I was in shock guarding the sacrificial supplies, my uncle and Brother Zhenmin were already priing the bluestone slab, accompanied by a loud trumpet, this one ton of bluestone slab was slowly put down.

The old mason immediately took out the dark coin and burned it, and the champion brother said with a sophisticated voice: "Second uncle, we have moved the grave for you today, and you have stayed here enough, so I will change you to a feng shui treasure land." ”

My uncle pulled me at the entrance of the cave and kowtowed to the coffin inside, and I saw that the word "Shou" on the coffin baffle had been mottled with paint.

However, this coffin could not be taken away together, so Brother Zhenmin lit the firecrackers, and the old mason shouted "Open the coffin!" ”

The uncle and the champion used a crowbar to pry open the lid of the coffin, and the mason shouted again, "Don't panic, old man, it's your children and grandchildren who have come to move the grave for you!" ”

Brother Champion stood at the entrance of the cave with a handful of incense in his hand, Brother Zhenmin held a flashlight to illuminate it, and the uncle put on gloves and began to sort out his grandfather's bones.

I heard the sound of bells, and the horror of my grandfather's dying appearance appeared in my mind again: his eyes were wide open, his eye sockets were deep, his whole body was thin and skinny, he was wearing a coarse cloth shroud, he had a bell in his mouth, and there were only some shoddy funeral goods.

My grandfather didn't blink to his death, and I was most afraid of his eyes, remembering that his coffin was full of paper products, and there was a paper man.

Soon the uncle came out with a woven bag, and the champion and Zhenmin set the coffin on the weeds and burned it, and the green smoke rose into the sky, and no one cared about it at that time, as long as it didn't cause a mountain fire.

I asked the old mason if the hole was going to be backfilled. He waved his hand and signaled that he didn't need to, and then ordered me to move the sacrifice to the entrance of the cave, and threw the rest of the paper into the fire in the cave.

On the return trip, I insisted on taking the champion brother's motorcycle, and it was still Brother Zhenmin who drove the tricycle, and the uncle put the woven bag on his lap and held it carefully.

When the champion brother rode a motorcycle to lead the way, and was about to leave the ravine, he shouted solemnly: "I have a camel over a dead man on this motorcycle!" ”

When I heard this, I was a little embarrassed, so I responded: "Aren't you afraid that the dead will deceive the corpse and strangle you to death?" ”

Brother Champion replied nonchalantly: "I have seen a lot of dead people, and I have never met a corpse, don't be afraid!" ”

But I know that there are corpse frauds, which are called "pseudo-deaths" in medicine, but the loss of vital signs, not brain death.
