Chapter 696
It was cold at night that winter.
Nowadays, there is a commercial street across from the Second Cotton Factory. There are many people at night, but there were not at that time. It was all wasteland. As long as the factory is not working, the surroundings are very quiet.
If Brother Yu and I were standing there without turning on the lights, no one would notice us.
Red Eyes kicked down the tombstone and dug down with a shovel.
That's what we do. We dig graves to make a living. We only do this and don't know how to do anything else.
I didn't take action because I knew Bai Tingli and Bai Shiqiong.
Brother Yu and Hongyan took action because they didn't know each other, it was as simple as that.
"Didi...didi..."
The deeper you dig, the stronger the response of the metal detector becomes, and the beeping sound becomes more rapid.
After digging down more than one meter along the tombstone, Brother Yu jumped into the pit with a flashlight in his mouth.
I carefully searched the pit and found that there were a bunch of nails buried in the soil, which were large-headed iron nails used to nail wooden boards. The plastic bags were rotten and exposed, and there were quite a few rusty nails.
When I saw it, I said, "Brother Yu, look, am I right? It's just rotten iron waste. If the Iron Buddha was really buried here, it would definitely be discovered when the coffin was placed in the burial. It would have caused a sensation."
"Dip...dip..."
As soon as I finished speaking, the probe in Brother Yu's hand rang again.
Tian Sanjiu frowned and said: "Punch half a meter to the right and dig out the coffin."
Brother Yu started to take action.
In general burials, coffins are buried about one to two meters underground, with few exceeding two meters. This depth is not difficult at all for professional earthworkers who often dig more than ten meters a night, and they can dig down in dozens of minutes.
My eyelids jumped as I watched loess and gravel being thrown up continuously.
Too cruel.....
If Bailash Qiong sees this, I would be surprised if she doesn't kill her.
"Slow down, I see the coffin," Brother Yu said and I also saw the exposed nanmu coffin lid.
Tian Sanjiu whispered: "Expand it and pry open the cover."
The ancients used coffin nails for burials. Nowadays, many coffins are chute-type, just like sliding doors. I have seen many old coffins and rotten coffins. Suddenly seeing such a brand-new coffin, to be honest, I feel a little conflicted. I don’t know why. .
After clearing the soil, Hongyan grabbed one end of the coffin with one hand. He pushed hard and pushed most of the coffin open with a crash!
Unscrew the headlight illumination.
In the coffin, Mr. Bai had his eyes closed and was wearing a blue shroud, which was buttoned up to his neck. The old man's face looked like a piece of white paper, and his eyelids and cheeks had begun to swell.
Because I had someone put on makeup before when I put on the shroud, now the makeup on my face is like white | flour, which has accumulated around the corners of Bai Laozi's mouth.
It's like he took a big bite of marshmallow before he was alive, and it stained around his mouth without wiping it. If it was summer, he would definitely smell bad.
Tian Sanjiu squatted on the pit. He looked at Mr. Bai lying in the coffin and said, "Brother Bai, I know you don't have the whereabouts of the Iron Buddha, but what else are you hiding from me?"
"I, Tian Sanjiu, keep my word. Since I promised you that I would find the Iron Buddha, then I will definitely find it. I am helping you but I have fulfilled my wish."
"Go down, help the person up, and search him." Tian Sanjiu turned to look at me.
I hesitated for a moment, gritted my teeth, and jumped into the pit.
I thought silently in my heart: "I'm sorry for disturbing your rest, Master Bai. I will help you burn paper and cigarettes later. I will burn two good cigarettes. Don't blame me."
"Death is too heavy" means that the dead person is too heavy. If this person weighed 100 kilograms in life, he would weigh 130 kilograms after death.
I lifted the old man's body up and put his back against the coffin. In this position, the old man's head would tilt back, so that the buttons around the neck of the shroud would collapse on their own.
Brother Yu reached into the coffin with a detector and scanned the old man first.
It's such a big place, and the results came quickly.
The alarm sound of the detector actually came from a pillow placed under Bai Lao's head...
There is a saying that the pillow in the dead person's coffin is called a longevity pillow. Woolen fabrics and any animal skin products cannot be used. It is said that it is for fear of being out of breath and deceiving the corpse.
In the past, people used porcelain pillows. Experts say that if you see a porcelain pillow with a hollow bottom and painted white flowers and little figures, it was used to cushion the heads of dead people in the past.
The kind used by living people cannot be hollowed out. These hollowed-out porcelain pillows and soul bottles with white flowers are like barns. They are tools that only serve the dead. There are no handed down items. They are 100% dug out by tomb robbers. of.
I have seen several people clean the barns of the Han Dynasty and make wine. They didn’t know what the barns were used for. Some sellers lied and said that they were used to brew wine. This is very unlucky. This is really a scam. .
