Chapter 52: Saving the Coffin
Gao Mingcheng's gaze crossed the heavy woods and landed in the distance.
He thought, in this case, then those ancient tombs, let them be buried in the ground forever, and let them not be disturbed anymore.
At this time, the people in the tomb began to attack the coffin.
The coffin is a large coffin set outside the coffin, this coffin is made of fir wood, fir is also a kind of wood commonly used in coffins, it will not give birth to insects, and it is relatively easy to obtain.
"Chief Gao, and the young man, everyone come down to help!" In the tomb, Director Wang spoke loudly, planning to call more people to help.
The coffin was too big and the wood was heavy, and it was not easy to open it.
Fortunately, they brought the tools they had at hand, and if they called for more people to help, it would not be a big problem.
"Let's go, go help." Gao Guobing said to Gao Mingcheng beside him, and the two walked to the tomb together.
"We're here to help, too." Gao Liang and other onlookers were also interested at this time, rolled up their sleeves and walked over.
Gao Zhuang also wanted to join in the fun, but he was short and small, so he could only stand by and watch, at most help get the carved tomb bricks out.
"Come on, let's work together! One, two, three, go! ”
Director Wang shouted and commanded, and with the joint efforts of everyone, the heavy coffin was finally opened little by little.
The coffin, which had been buried deep in the ground for hundreds of years, was rediscovered.
The inner coffin is also made of cedar, but the wood looks better.
In order not to destroy the coffin, it took a lot of effort to carry the coffin out of the tomb, and several people worked together to put the coffin in a relatively flat place, and then took out the thick hemp rope and logs prepared in advance, and tied the coffin and fixed it.
"Come on! If you have a lot of strength to lift the coffin, if you have a small strength, you can help pick bricks, folks, please take a hand to help! Director Wang was extremely good at being a man, and took out dozens of packs of cigarettes from a bag handed over by a subordinate.
These cigarettes are ordinary cigarettes, but when the cigarettes are given to everyone, everyone will have a smile on their faces, and they will be more willing to do this.
Gao Mingcheng took the cigarette and stuffed it into his trouser pocket.
It's not that he doesn't like this cigarette is bad, but he decided not to smoke again for the rest of his life.
In his previous life, he smoked, and he was very addicted to smoking, a pack of cigarettes a day, and sometimes even two packs of cigarettes, and in the last few years, his lungs were not very good, and he had stomach bleeding, and his fingers and teeth were yellowed by smoke.
But this is not the main reason why he quit smoking, the main reason is that his youngest son was also a very addicted to smoking in his previous life, and even smoked something that should not be smoked, which made Gao Mingcheng very angry, but his adult son is not easy to manage, he can't do anything with his younger son at all, until he watched his younger son fall into the legal net.
This incident was a pain in his heart, so after being reborn, he didn't think about smoking at all, he decided to lead by example, so that his youngest son would not smoke in the future, let alone smoke cigarettes, and finally harmed him for the rest of his life.
Gao Mingcheng had a lot of strength, so he was arranged to carry the coffin.
Tall and strong belong to the weak ones, and they helped pick up a load of tomb bricks.
A group of dozens of people began to descend the mountain in a mighty way.
Gao Guobing arrived at Gaojia Village at seven o'clock in the morning, but it took nearly two hours to climb the mountain, and then they had to dismantle the coffin, dig the tomb bricks, etc., and when they were ready to go down the mountain, it was already eleven o'clock.
As the saying goes, it's easier to go up than to get down.
What's more, they also have to carry hundreds of pounds of coffins, tomb bricks and other things down the mountain, so there is a sound of "Be careful, slow down" from time to time along the way. Something like that.
Because the things are too heavy, even if the person carrying the coffin is strong, after carrying the coffin for ten minutes, he will feel tired, so every fifteen minutes, the coffin will be placed on the ground to rest for a while, or if there is something that cannot be carried, another person will come.
The log was pressed against the coffin, tightly tied to the coffin with thick hemp rope, two people in front and two people in the back, a total of four people carried the log on their shoulders.
The summer clothes are thin, and the log is pressed heavily on the shoulders, which can press a red mark, and the pressure is very uncomfortable.
This is also the countryman is accustomed to carrying burdens, otherwise there is no strength on his shoulders, and he will not be able to carry it at all.
"It's too heavy, a few people will help lift it with their hands!" Before the halfway down the mountain, the person carrying the coffin was already complaining, so Director Wang arranged for people to help carry it together on both sides of the coffin.
However, the mountain road is rugged, and it is not easy to carry the coffin, there are many people, and the road is narrow in some places, so it is impossible to pass at all, so it is delayed for a lot of time.
The person carrying the coffin has already been changed twice, Gao Mingcheng felt okay, so he didn't think about changing, but Gao Guobing was very worried about him, and when others asked for a replacement, he also let Gao Mingcheng change.
Gao Guobing pulled Gao Mingcheng aside, glared at him angrily, and said, "What kind of capable person are you pretending?" Everyone else has changed twice, and you still haven't changed? Don't look at yourself as young and have a little strength, you don't know moderation! It's too hard, and you'll be feeling better for the next few days! ”
Although he was taught a lesson, Gao Mingcheng's heart was still very warm.
For him, Gao Guobing can be regarded as half of his father, when he was still in the village, he had a good time with Gao Guobing's two sons, so he didn't eat at Gao Guobing's house.
"Hey, got it." Gao Mingcheng nodded obediently.
Gao Guobing's face improved, and he taught him how to eliminate the soreness in his shoulder: "You can use a hot towel to compress your shoulder at night, it will feel better, and if you have safflower oil at home, you can also wipe it." ”
"Hmm." Gao Mingcheng obediently responded.
But as he knows, his physical fitness is very good now, this weight is nothing, although his shoulder is a little painful, but it is far less powerful than others, as long as he rests a little, he will fully recover.
The uncle and nephew were left behind, and after talking for a while, there was a commotion in front of them, and it turned out that they had gone downhill.
The road was steep, narrow, and winding, and the person carrying the coffin was already tired and panicked, and when he walked to this road, the soles of his feet were empty, and his body was unstable, and he was about to fall.
When he fell, the other three were also affected, and the whole coffin was unstable and shook in mid-air.
Seeing this, Director Wang's frightened face was deformed, and he hurriedly said, "Stabilize the coffin!" Hold the coffin steady! There's also a funeral item in it! ”
Hundreds of years have passed, and the bones inside may have rotted into bones, but most of the funerary goods are not broken, and many of the funerary goods are porcelain!
If this coffin falls heavily on the ground, the porcelain inside will be completely destroyed!
Gao Mingcheng knew that there were several pieces of fine Song porcelain here, and he brought these porcelains to Xiangjiang back then, but they sold them for a lot of money, so when he saw that the coffin was about to land, he didn't think much about it, rushed up with an arrow step, and lifted the coffin steadily with both hands.
The weight of hundreds of catties all fell on his body alone, Rao is his physical fitness is good, and his facial features were distorted in an instant because he was too hard.
