"Quick, hold on to the coffin together!"

The Lu Bureau was also frightened, his credit is all in this coffin!

He didn't care about his frail and old age, and he said that he was going to step forward to help the coffin.

But there were so many people present, where could he be used, and the rest of the people saw this situation, and they had already rushed forward and lifted the coffin together.

There were many people who made a move, and the coffin finally did not fall to the ground, but was gently placed on the ground.

At this time, the person who fell down apologized to everyone with a guilty face: "I'm sorry, I didn't step on it steadily." ”

This person happened to be a subordinate of the Cultural Relics Administration, so Director Wang scolded on the spot: "What are you doing to eat? Don't you know that the coffin is full of treasures? If you throw the coffin to the ground, I'll throw your rice bowl too!" ”

Lu Ju also glared at the subordinate fiercely.

The man knew that he was wrong, and he did not dare to defend himself, but only bowed his head and received the scolding.

Only Gao Mingcheng could see that there was something wrong with his foot, it should have been twisted to his ankle when he wrestled just now.

He came forward and said: "Lu Bureau, Wang Suo, you dissipate your anger, this mountain road is not easy to walk, besides, it's all at this point, the big guy is still hungry, and he naturally doesn't have much strength on his body." ”

"I think so, you are not familiar with this mountain road, it is better for the villagers of our village to carry the coffin next, and you can give a little hard money afterwards."

The king moved, but he didn't have the right to call the shots, so he looked at the land bureau.

Lu Ju first thanked Gao Mingcheng for making a timely move and not letting the coffin fall to the ground, and then said: "Give some hard money, this is what it should be, then it will be troublesome." ”

Now the land bureau just wants this coffin to be transported back to the county seat safely and steadily, and with this credit, his career may be able to go forward.

The Lu Bureau agreed to pay for the hard work, so Gao Mingcheng said to the villagers of Gaojia Village: "Brother, who wants to carry it?" ”

"Me! I! Several able-bodied men immediately stepped forward.

They came here to join in the fun, and they had helped more or less, but now that they heard that there was a hard work, they were naturally more active.

So Gao Mingcheng ordered three people to come out, plus he was four people, as usual, there were two people in front and two people in the back.

When going down the mountain, the people in front were heavier, so Gao Mingcheng stood in front by himself, and under his command, the coffin was steadily lifted again.

Along the way, everyone was riveting, and if they encountered a place where the road was not easy to walk, Gao Mingcheng would also remind him loudly, and every fifteen minutes or so, he would find a flat place to put the coffin down and rest.

Halfway through, some people changed a few people because of the force, but Gao Mingcheng did not change from beginning to end, and he carried the coffin all the way down the mountain.

After going down the mountain smoothly, Lu Ju and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The scorching sun is shining, and after there is no shelter from the woods, the hot sun directly shines on the body, which makes people's skin a little tingling.

There are many plants and trees in the mountains, and the edges of some wild grasses are extremely sharp, and if people accidentally touch them, they will leave a shallow wound on their skin, which is pickled by sweat, and they are naturally uncomfortable.

Although I went down the mountain, the car was still parked at the entrance of the village, and I had to continue to carry it.

After only resting for a few seconds, Gao Mingcheng said loudly: "Brothers, go on!" It's almost time to get to the car. ”

"Okay." The rest of the people also answered loudly, and their spirits were high.

After a few more minutes, they finally arrived at the side of the truck, but how to get the coffin onto the truck was also a problem.

The group stood on the side and studied for a while, and it took a lot of effort to finally get the coffin on the truck smoothly, and put the carved tomb bricks away.

The heart of the Lu Bureau is finally completely stable.

He shook hands with Gao Mingcheng excitedly, thanked him for his help, and asked Director Wang to send everyone a hardship fee.

Director Wang is a very good person, and when he was in the county seat, he prepared a lot of cigarettes, and naturally prepared a sum of funds for backup.

As for how much money to give everyone, he had also discussed it with the Land Bureau before, and now that he had received instructions from the Land Bureau, he immediately took out the funds and began to give money according to the capitation.

The villagers present, as long as they contributed to the effort, they all got the hardship fee, but everyone got the same amount of money, for example, Gao Zhuang helped pick the tomb bricks and got one dollar, Gao Liang had a little more strength and got two yuan, and those villagers who carried the coffin got five yuan, as for Gao Mingcheng, the Lu Bureau personally gave him ten yuan.

Although he took the most, no one present was unconvinced.

How much effort Gao Mingcheng has made along the way, the people present are clear.

"It's not too early, let's go back to the county seat first!" Lu Ju looked at Chen Ju and said.

Chen Ju naturally had no opinion, said yes, and got into his own car, and the rest of the people also got into the car.

Gao Mingcheng said to Gao Guobing: "Uncle, I'm in a hurry today, so I won't invite you to lunch." ”

Gao Guobing glared at him angrily and said, "Remember to use a hot towel to compress your shoulders when you go home, don't get sick!" Also, when you are free in a few days, you come to my house for a meal, and Gao Yue heard that you came to look for me, so he said that he missed you. ”

Gao Mingcheng hadn't seen Gao Yue for a long time, so he immediately nodded, said okay, and then watched Gao Guobing get into the car, and watched the three cars leave one after another.

It wasn't until the car was completely gone that the onlookers dispersed.

"Hey, it's still the official who gives money generously, although it's a little tired, but I got five yuan! The work on the railroad is only two dollars and nine at the end of the day! Those who carried stones and sleepers were also tired and panicked! ”

"Yes, it's a pity that this doesn't happen every day."

"I have to thank Ming Cheng, if he hadn't asked for hard work, this official might not have given it."

"Yes, yes! Mingcheng, I didn't expect you to have such a lot of strength, such a heavy coffin, you actually lifted it alone! ”

Everyone surrounded Gao Mingcheng and praised his strength.

Gao Mingcheng said a few words modestly, and when they reached the fork in the road, everyone dispersed and went back to their respective homes.

"Gao Zhuang, Gao Liang, let's wash first and then go home for dinner!" Gao Mingcheng was full of sweat and uncomfortable, so he walked to a ditch, which was about half a meter wide, and the water flow was clear, he stood directly in the ditch, bent down to wash his face, took off his clothes again, and washed his upper body, as for the pants on his lower body were wet, it didn't matter, anyway, the weather was very hot.

The same is true for Gao Zhuang and Gao Liang, after washing with cool water, the three of them finally feel a lot more comfortable.

Gao Liang said: "Brother Mingcheng, I'll go home first." ”

With that, he went the other way.

"We're going back soon, I'm starving!" Gao Zhuang said hurriedly, and walked quickly to the house with Gao Mingcheng.

When I arrived at home, Grandma Xi was sitting under the eaves and rubbing hemp rope, and when she saw that they had finally returned, she said with a distressed face: "Are you hungry?" Let's go eat! ”

"Grandma, do you still have porridge?" Gao Zhuang asked, the weather was too hot, he was tired and panicked, although he was hungry at this time, he couldn't eat dry rice, but he wanted to drink a bowl of gruel first.

"Yes, cool in a basin of water. Mingcheng also eats a bowl of porridge to relieve the heat, I put mung beans! ”

I have to say that Grandma Xi understands very well, the porridge in the morning has been eaten, and this mung bean porridge was specially cooked by her.
