At two o'clock in the afternoon, the North Slope Cemetery, which is the funeral concentration camp of Savage Tun, buries all the people who have died in the last hundred years of Savage Tun, there are hundreds of large and small graves, densely packed, and all kinds of paper money and wreath remnants can be seen everywhere. This is the most common type of rural grave, and there are all kinds of them, the best ones are made of cement, and the almost ones are a loess mound overgrown with weeds.

Father Miao pointed to one of the small dilapidated graves and said to me, "This is my wife's, and she has been dead for many years. The year before last, I built a double pit, and I plan to wait for me to get the two of them together. Back then, I was poor, I couldn't afford a coffin, and I still used a straw mat, I was really sorry for the child's mother, and now I should send her to a new home. I'm a party member, I don't believe in that, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, just today you are all here, do me a favor, take the bones and put them in this coffin and then move them to the new grave over there. ”

Cha Wenbin looked up at the surrounding environment, the sky was a little gloomy, but there was no sign of rain, the coffin was new, a few of us had just been carried out of Miao's father's house, he made two coffins, one for himself, and one for his wife who had been waiting for him in the loess for many years.

"Let's build a shed, but as I said, if it's really good, I recommend cremation."

Father Miao said: "Cremation has always been organized and educated to do it, if it is really like what you said, then light a fire so that she will not suffer." ”

"Today's day is not bad, I have seen the yellow calendar, suitable for burial." Cha Wenbin comforted Father Miao, although he is an old revolutionary, but this is a wife after all.

According to the rules, Cha Wenbin first lit incense candles for Miao Lan and his man to worship, crying is a must, which roughly means that the old lady has been here alone for so long, it is the younger generation who is not filial, and today is to move the grave for you.

A table of tributes was placed, three glasses of wine were poured, and Cha Wenbin shouted at the top of his voice: "The auspicious time has come, and the old man has broken the ground." ”

The fat man and I belonged to outsiders, and this kind of work was not allowed to involve the family of the deceased, so we became coolies, but fortunately it was only loess, and it was also neat with a hoe and a shovel. A shed was erected directly above the tomb, and a shelf covered with plastic skin was used, so it didn't matter as long as the sun wasn't shining directly.

The soil is not deep, and it is more than a meter to the bottom, and the mat has long been rotten into flakes, mixed with yellow soil, emitting a suffocating smell.

"Do you want to get up?" I tried to hold my breath and talk to Cha Wenbin, because if I didn't take a breath, it would be a disaster.

He was actually used to the smell, and he had already guessed the situation he was about to face, and the bones that had been buried for decades would still smell, which only showed one thing: at least it wasn't rotten!

"Get up, tie it with a brown rope, don't get dirt on it after you get up, and don't break the mat."

The fat man and I laid out the brown rope cloth, slowly moved the mass of corpses wrapped in mud to the cloth, and then tied it with rope and put it on a thick wooden stick and lifted it one by one. The moment the crouched body was lifted, I really thought that I was not lifting a corpse, because the weight was indescribable, the "gurgling" sound between the rope and the stick, the roar of me and the fat man because of the force, and the pain embedded in the shoulder blades.

"No way......" I sat in the dirt pit with a red face covered in sweat, and the fat man was no better than me, with an embarrassed look and a face full of yellow mud and said: "Two more people, it's too heavy, Dad, don't blame me for talking straight, Madame was very fat from time to time?" ”

Miao Lao was stunned and said, "Not fat, not big, why can't you two do this?" ”

The fat man said angrily: "Why don't you try it?" ”

Cha Wenbin drank with the fat man: "Don't talk nonsense! This is a person who doesn't want to leave inside, which is also called a jack pendant, which proves that the corpse is really not rotten, if there is blood in the moonlight, it will definitely become a zombie. He hastily drew a talisman on the ground with yellow paper, and gave it to Miao Lan and said to her: "Lanzi, burn it to your mother, just say that you and your father are here to move a new house, don't mind." ”

Miao Lan took the rune paper and knelt down and cried with a big belly: "Mother, I have wronged you here, your grandson is in my belly, if you don't agree, I will take him to kneel here." With that, she wept and threw the talisman into the pit.

It's strange to say, that Japan is windless, and the ashes that were burned in the talisman flew up high, Cha Wenbin looked at it and said: "Let's get up again, it should be no problem." ”

Sure enough, as he said, this time the fat man and I easily carried the body ashore, and after three or five minutes, everything was done, and the rest was handed over to Cha Wenbin.

Cha Wenbin is ready to collect the remains, and at this time, the family members have to avoid it, so as not to make people uncomfortable. When he cut through the torn mat with his scissors, I thought I had seen a ghost, but luckily it was broad daylight.

There is indeed a female corpse inside, mixed with a lot of yellow mud, and you can clearly see that the muscles under the yellow mud are still fresh. Miao Lan's mother was not very old when she died, she was only in her twenties, and when the dust on her face was swept away by Cha Wenbin, I only saw that her cheeks were obviously sunken inward, and her lips were in the shape of a pout.

Cha Wenbin dipped a cotton ball in oil and plugged her ears and nose respectively, and covered the eyes of the corpse with two pieces of black cloth.

After death, nails and hair continue to grow until the body is completely decomposed. The fact that the corpse's nails were so long had something to do with the fact that her corpse was well preserved, but this was neither a large well-sealed burial chamber nor a dry desert, so why could a body wrapped in a torn mat be so lifelike? I took a look, and it was seven points similar to Miao Lan, but there was no blood on his face, and there was a slight purple in the whiteness.

He gave me a signal to call Daddy Miao to take a look, Daddy Miao turned around and looked at himself, he couldn't believe it, he was stunned, but this was his wife after all, and finally couldn't help but shed tears.

He said he never expected it to be like this, and finally agreed that we would light her wife with a fire. We cut wood on the spot and put it in the pit, spread the corpse, poured some kerosene on it, lit a match, and in a moment black smoke began to rise.

That was the first time I saw Cha Wenbin give people a superordinate: with his eyes closed, his mouth chanting, and the Miao Lan family kept circling the burning corpse. Pause in the left three circles, grab a handful of loess and throw it in; The right three springs paused, grabbed another handful of loess and threw it in, and so on until the flames were extinguished.

All that's left is to pick up the bones, this thing is not as clean as the crematorium, the human bones are basically still there, pick them up one by one and rearrange them in the coffin according to the position of the person, and then cover the coffin It is almost dark. We hurriedly sent people to a new grave, and when we descended the mountain, the moon began to hang in the sky.

On the way back to Tunzi, Father Miao didn't say a word, our group of descendants subverted his cognition, and it is estimated that he will not be able to sleep tonight. One of the three people in the village office had woken up, and two of them continued to fall asleep, and Dr. Niu was guarding us inside, and when the fat man wanted to go in and interrogate, but he woke up and said nothing.

She's a woman, so naturally we can't, and the fat man said that when she woke up, the man surnamed Qian must have woken up too. This kid's temper is messy as soon as he comes up, and he plucks a hair from the feather duster and tickles the soles of the man's feet, and sure enough, in less than five seconds, the guy came with a "oh yo", it seems that he is indeed pretending.

"Let's talk?" The fat man slapped the man surnamed Qian in the face, "Do I call you Master Qian, or Leader Qian?" ”

That person was not stupid, he knew that he was arrested and there was no need to resist anymore, so he smiled at the fat man and said, "Call old money, old money......"

"Old money?" The fat man slapped him again and said, "Is it from Beijing or Sichuan?" ”

The man covered his face and nodded repeatedly: "Sichuan, Sichuan, Sichuan ......"

"Oh, it's Sichuan!" Half of the fat man's face suddenly swollen, and after a heavy blow, he shouted: "Then you are lying to me, and lying to me is insulting my personality, then you will be beaten, did I make a mistake?" ”

"No, no, it's time to fight, it's time to fight......"

I asked, "So what are you doing here?" ”

"Testing...... Surveying and mapping"

"Test your mother's head! If you pretend to shoot you with one shot, do you have a gun in surveying and mapping? Or imported from Belgium. Tell you, there is no living person in this place for 300 miles, and only the ghost knows how to bury you here! The fat man raised his hand and wanted to hit again, but Cha Wenbin grabbed his hand and said, "Where did you get that person in the tunzi?" ”

The man shook his head and said, "People? Who? I do not know! ”

The fat man picked up the bench on the ground and was about to smash it down and said, "If you pretend again, Lao Tzu will kill you directly!" ”

"I don't know! Wronged! We are all here secretly, where we dare to find local people, we are actually here to rob the tomb......"

"Two days ago, there was a hunter who let you be harmed, and a dog." Cha Wenbin looked more calm at that time, he took a stool next to him and said: "We have no grievances, as long as you tell the whereabouts of the person, you and your people can leave safely, you are corpse poison, if no one solves it, your whole body will rot within seven days." ”

The man insisted, "I really don't know, do you know if I can stop talking!" ”

"Okay, don't say it, Cha Ye, go, take it out, find a pit and bury it!" After saying that, the fat man grabbed the back of the man's neck and dragged him down directly from the **, and the fat man carried him out of the village office alive, no matter how the man tossed and shouted for help......

Say:

Happy birthday to me!
