It was already around ten o'clock when we reached the top of the hill. The group of young people were a little scared at first, but there were so many of them and they chatted loudly on purpose to give themselves courage, which made them feel much better.
When we got there, I asked them to stop about a hundred meters away from the grave, then turned to A-Lian and said, "A-Lian, ask a few people to find a piece of land halfway up the mountain, and have five or six people start digging the grave now. When the coffin is opened, we can go over and bury it directly."
In fact, there are usually many procedures to follow after the coffin is opened, but who cares about so many things now
After hearing what I said, A-Lian called ten young men to pick up hoes and headed towards the other side of the mountainside. Now there are only six young men left, but they all look very energetic.
I took out a pack of cigarettes and handed them to them, saying, "Hey guys, have a smoke first. You guys sit here and play for a while. I'm going to go check out the cemetery first."
One of the young men took the cigarette and said with a smile: "Brother, aren't you afraid at this late hour?"
"What are you afraid of?" I chuckled and turned to walk towards the cemetery. My main purpose now was to see the tree. There was no moon in the night and visibility was very low. Fortunately, I had smeared cow's tears before and opened the road to the underworld.
When I was about five meters away from the tomb, I looked towards the tree. Damn, there was a hemp rope hanging on the tree, and it was swaying.
I just felt a chill coming over me. This thing wasn't there before, so why did a hemp rope appear after such a short while? Could it be a hanged ghost
I took out a 'Five Thunderbolts Talisman' from my backpack and walked towards the tree carefully. If there really was any ghost, I would kill it right now.
"Ah.*/.*" Just as I walked under the tree, I suddenly heard a shout from the direction of the group of young people. I thought to myself, "Oh no!" I turned around and ran back.
When I ran over, the six young men were sitting there smoking and chatting. They didn't look scared at all. I immediately got a little angry and asked them, "What were you yelling about just now?"
"What? Who called you? We have been smoking here. What happened to you?" These young men were very confused after hearing what I said. They looked around. I frowned. Could it be that I was tricked by a ghost? I sighed and did not answer these young men's questions. If I told them the truth, I was afraid that they would drop their hoes and run away. In that case, who would dig the grave
I also sat down and chatted with them, of course we only talked about trivial matters. At eleven o'clock, Tailong and the four young men finally carried the coffin to the top of the hill. The scene of these five people carrying a coffin up the hill in the middle of the night was quite strange. If someone didn't know the situation, they might think it was a ghost.
This coffin gave me a surprise. I thought it was just an ordinary coffin before, but when I opened it to check, I found that it was full of corpse-suppressing talismans. This coffin was definitely specially used to hold evil corpses.
Seeing this coffin made me feel much more comfortable. When the time comes, I will dig Grandpa Liu out and throw him into this coffin. Then I will draw some corpse-suppressing talismans on the outside, and he should not be able to rise from the dead.
That night, the sky was overcast and there was no moonlight. It was so dark on the top of the mountain that I couldn't see my hand in front of me. Fortunately, the young men all had flashlights. I saw that A-Lian hadn't come back yet, so I guessed that she had found a place and started digging.
"There is no time to lose, let's go dig now." I looked at the time. It is not advisable to open the coffin after 12 o'clock, otherwise the body will easily turn into evil spirits.
There were twelve of us in total, including me. When we arrived in front of the grave, the hemp rope on the tree was gone. I frowned. Fortunately, Tailong brought a lot of paper money.
I first picked up a handful of paper money and three incense sticks and walked to the tree, burned some paper money, then lit three incense sticks, bowed, and said verbally: "Today is the day when Liu Erxi's coffin is moved and buried. I hope you can go your way and I will go mine, so don't disturb each other." After saying that, I stuck the incense in the ground.
He turned around and walked to the grave, and said to Tailong, "Tailong, call A-Lian to come over. The coffin must be opened with the presence of the descendants."
Tailong nodded, picked up the phone and called A-Lian. He was mumbling something, and I didn't know what he was saying. I also walked to Grandpa Liu's grave and said, "Grandpa Liu, death is the greatest thing. Rest in peace and don't make a fuss." After saying that, I picked up the paper money and burned it, but I didn't burn incense. The first stick of incense must be burned by a relative.
About 20 minutes later, A-Lian finally came running over, panting. I didn't say anything more after she arrived. I handed her a stick of incense and said, "Light some incense and tell your grandfather not to get up and make a fuss, but don't cry. Your grandfather was buried on a heavy funeral day, so you can't cry, you can only laugh."
"Yeah." A-Lian nodded. It seemed that she didn't have a strong feeling for her grandfather and didn't show any sadness. She picked up the incense, knelt in front of the grave, kowtowed three times, and said, "Rest in peace, Grandpa."
There were originally many procedures, but I couldn’t figure them out, so I just said, “Okay, dig the grave.”
The young men nearby had been waiting for a long time. When they heard what I said, they pulled out the tombstone, put it aside, and then started digging at the grave with a hoe. However, this hoe really frightened them.
The soil that was dug out was mixed with a lot of blood. When the people saw this, they were all a little scared. I saw this and hurriedly said, "Dig it quickly."
Although these young men were afraid, they still gritted their teeth and continued to dig. On the hillside of this remote town, there were bursts of sounds of hoes being swung.
"We found it." Suddenly a young man shouted. They had been digging for more than half an hour. When the young man shouted, the others also started digging hard. Soon they dug out the outline of a coffin.
The coffin looked very thin. I frowned and said, "The coffin nails are bent."
The young men still looked a little scared. There was a lot of blood on the coffin. No one knew where the blood came from on the hill.
I saw these young men were so timid and didn't dare to go down. I gritted my teeth and jumped down to pry open the coffin nails.
"Grandpa Liu is born in the year of the Ox. Anyone born in the year of the Ox or the Tiger here should turn around and don't look inside the museum." After I said that, I saw only one young man turned around.
