Chapter 6: The Mystery of the Empty Coffin
If Lohan's grandfather only knew some of the secrets of the gods, it wouldn't make me lose my temper. They don't understand, but I know the meaning of "catastrophe", 2000 thousand years ago, it is very likely that the catastrophe took the surname of the ancient gods, and Lohan's grandfather actually knew "catastrophe", so I want to know what is in Rohan's grandfather's album anyway.
As soon as I said this, not only Luo Han's parents, but even the faces of Lotte and others changed, digging graves and opening coffins can be said to be the greatest disrespect to the ancestors, as the saying goes, the deceased comes first, and now I am going to disturb an old man who has died, which makes Lotte and them extremely strange, only Gu Qianmo stood there and nothing changed, for her, everything I did was right.
Luo Han's father's face changed slightly, and he said unhappily: "I won't open the coffin, you can go." ”
Lotte also pulled me and motioned me to stop talking, I waved my hand at him, turned to Luo Han's father and continued: "Uncle, the old man's picture album is very important to me, I promise to find another piece of feng shui treasure to bury him after opening the coffin for the old man, and compensate you 200,000." ”
When I said this number, I obviously felt that Luo Han's mother's face changed, and she pushed Luo Han's father, but Luo Han's father still shook his head firmly as if he didn't feel it, and said: "I'm sorry, it's not a matter of money, my father is fine, why should we bother him, it's too unfilial." ”
I thought for a while and said, "Uncle, you can declare to the outside world that you have moved the old man's grave, and say that you have found a piece of feng shui treasure, so that you will not only keep your reputation, but I can also get the old man's picture album, do you think it's okay?" ”
Luo Han's father still shook his head, but this time his tone was not as insistent as before, and he smiled bitterly: "In our small place, moving graves is a big deal, not only to invite people to do too much, but also to invite people in the village to eat." ”
I can basically hear the meaning of his words, that is, one word, money. He may have been afraid that I wouldn't give money when I opened the coffin. Hearing him say this, I knew that there was a play, so I hurriedly glanced at Huang Ying and said, "Uncle, aunt, you wait for us." With that, he took the yellow shadow out. It would shock them if they suddenly found so much money, so Huang Ying and I walked out of the village and drove around a few times, pretending that we were going to withdraw money, and I took out 300,000 yuan from the storage space and wrapped it in paper. Walked into Lohan's house again.
I put the money wrapped in paper in front of Luo Han's father and said, "Uncle, here is 300,000 yuan, and the extra 100,000 yuan should be enough for you to move the grave, I hope you can promise us." ”
Luo Han's mother looked at the money on the table, swallowed her saliva, and pushed Luo Han's father hard, Luo Han's father looked at the money on the table, gritted his teeth and said, "Let me think about it, and I'll give you an answer tomorrow." ”
Hearing him say this, I knew that this was basically done, but just in case, I walked up to Rohan and shook Rohan's father's hand as I said goodbye and left, and secretly put a miniature bugging device on his clothes. This kind of bugging device needs two days to survive in the exchange room, but its size is much smaller than a grain of rice, and it is very difficult to detect, I originally redeemed one for fun, and I didn't think I would use it here today.
Driving back to town, we found a hotel and stayed, I brought the receiver of the bugging device to my ears, and lay down in the room bored and read a book, the bugging device was silent for a long time, and then the voice of Luo Han's mother came: "Child, his father, this money is all real money?" ”
Luo Han's father seemed to be counting the money, and I heard the sound of origami "tearing and tearing" from the receiver, and after a while, Luo Han's father seemed to have noticed something, stopped and said, "Cui, the door is so closed, go and close it first." ”
Then, I heard the hurried footsteps of Lohan's mother and a heavy closing of the door, followed by the sound of small broken steps and the words of Lohan's father: "This money is real." ”
Xiao Xiaobu's voice stopped, maybe Luo Han's mother sat down again, she said: "Boy and his father, I can't imagine that there is such a good thing, the old man's picture album is wanted, with this money, we can open a small shop, and you don't have to work all day and night." ”
Luo Han's father was silent for a while before he said, "It's useless, Cui, have you ever thought about why this group of people would pay such a high price for the old man's album?" ”
Luo Han's mother was also silent for a long time before she whispered, "Could it be that their purpose is not in the album?" ”
Luo Han's father said uncertainly: "I don't know very well, but didn't a Taoist priest in the old man's picture album say that it was a rare treasure, maybe they understand, we don't understand, forget it, Cui, you put away the money first, go to the temple in the town tomorrow to find a few monks, buy some food, buy a few tables of banquets, and the day after tomorrow we will move the old man's grave." ”
Rohan's mother answered, and the sound of her taking the money was heard, and when I heard this, I took the receiver off, and it seemed that it was done.
Although I didn't leave any contact information when I left, but the town was not big, plus our conspicuous small bus, Luo Han's mother still found our accommodation the next day very smoothly, and after explaining the time of opening the coffin to us, she left in a hurry, I knew that she had to do a lot of things today, but I was not too interested in the banquet, so I politely refused her hospitality.
Early in the morning of the third day, we arrived at Luo Han's house. Following a large group of villagers to a grave on the mountain, after a lot of tedious rituals, several strong villagers took hoes and officially began to open the coffin and move the grave.
I stared intently at those villagers, when the ground was planed to a depth of about five meters, a scarlet coffin was exposed, after the coffin was hoisted up by a simple pulley, it was to pick up bones, the so-called picking up bones, that is, the eldest son held an altar to pick up the bones of the ancestors piece by piece to the jar for temporary storage, this step is the most solemn and sacred, it is said that if the ancestors are dissatisfied with the opening of the coffin and moving the grave, they will stick their bones firmly on the coffin, and they will not be able to take it out anyway.
Luo Han's grandfather only has one son, so the matter of picking up bones is naturally done by Luo Han's father, but when Luo Han's father stepped forward with the jar, the moment others opened the coffin lid, the people standing next to the coffin screamed and quickly retreated, and the jar in Luo Han's father's hand fell directly to the ground and fell into countless pieces, but he did not retreat, but stood in place with a frightened expression, at a loss.
I looked at the group of people who seemed to have seen something very scary, and I also put my head over curiously, there was nothing scary in the coffin, to be exact, there was nothing. There was nothing left in the coffin except the pillow and the yellow cloth used to decorate it, which means that it was an empty coffin.
I looked at Luo Han's father in disbelief and said, "The old man's body is buried here?" ”
Luo Han's father nodded tremblingly and said, "Yes, yes, yes, we will spread his album under us first, and then put my father's body on it, absolutely yes." ”
As soon as he said this, a few people next to him helped: "That's right, we helped him carry the old man up the mountain together, and we all remember it, this is it." ”
I looked up at the sky, it was noon, the sun was shining hotly overhead, but at this moment I actually felt a chill rise from the soles of my feet.
