Q coffin GL

In [-], winter.

The sky was so overcast that the water was squeezed out, and it was so gray that it was hard to tell whether it was the fog or the smoke from the cage.The smell of coal was too strong in the air, and the buns didn't smell good either.The youngest Tu opened the cage and stretched his head to take a look, then shook his head: "Your face is too thick."

The old man Baozi who had been standing on the street for 20 years spat at him and smashed the lid: "It's too rough for you to paint the youngest - go go go!"

The old man Tu moved his face back with a smile, and put his hands into his sleeves: "Cheng Chengcheng, your old man's buns are the most delicious, or they have been sold for 20 years! You are so lucky."

He shrank his neck and walked forward, walked to a corner, squatted down in front of the hookah stand, leaned over and asked, "Boss, what are you smoking today?"

The owner of the cigarette stand is thin and weak, looking listless, with short hair that can't cover his neck, bangs that look like a dog gnaws, with one tuft long and the other short, covering his drooping eyes, with an old-fashioned melon skin hat on his head. It's kind of funny.

Her surname is Li, and she has always been so neither male nor female. She has no name and is ranked eleventh.

"Hi, what kind of cigarettes are you?" Li Shishi reluctantly took his hands out of his cotton-padded hands and fiddled with them twice, "Spicy? Not spicy?"

The youngest Tu came closer: "It's so cold, I'm cold from eating hookah, is there any dry smoke? Miss Eleven?"

Li Shishi raised his eyelids and glanced at him, his eyes were very clear, he had seen it many times, but the scar on his right cheek still surprised Mrs Tu, it looked like a burn or an ulcer. A large piece of red, purple and purple wrinkled rotting skin sticks to the cheek like a dog's head plaster, which is ugly and tight.

"Danyan is the guy who eats in the ancestors. You can afford it."

She stood up, straightened her melon skin hat, and her cotton-padded jacket was wrinkled into a ball, widening her entire body inside.

Tu Lao Yao hehe twice, followed behind her.

After turning a few alleys, there was a dilapidated courtyard in front of us, overgrown with weeds, which looked like it hadn't been repaired for a long time.Li Shishi dusted off the ashes with his sleeve, moved away the corrugated wooden boards in the front yard, and walked inside again. There was a rusty warehouse in the bushes, not too big, square, and the head could be seen at a glance.

Li Shiyi took out a key from the inner buckle of the cotton hand, opened the warehouse, bent down and got in through the short iron door.

Tu Laojiao followed in familiarly, Li Shishi fumbled and pulled the thick hemp rope beside the wall, and the warehouse was brightened up.

"Hey, it's time to install the electric light!" The youngest Tu touched the circuit on the wall.

Li Shishi squinted his eyes to adapt to the bright light, still leaned against the wall with his hands in his hands, and asked him, "In or out?"

Tu Laoyao's eyes were caught by the things stuffed in the warehouse, and he was about to start with two "tsk tsk".

Li Shiyi took out a box of matches from his pocket, and struck one with a jab: "They all come from the ground."

Tu Lao Yao withdrew his hand in fright, and glanced greedily at the Tang Sancai lantern bottle whose soil had not been completely dried.Li Shishi struck another match, and the smell of sulfur went straight into Tu Laoyao's nose. Tu Laoyao sneezed, leaned up to Li Shishi, licked his face and called out: "Miss Shiyi."

Li Shishi rubbed his nose and looked up at him. He took out a small copper pot with a narrow mouth and a wide belly from his cotton trousers and handed it to Li Shishi. I."

Li Shishi looked at the copper pot he took out from his crotch with disgust: "Where did it come from?"

Seeing that Li Shishi didn't intend to reach out his hand, Tu Laomo moved forward again: "Will you take a closer look?"

Li Shishi knocked on the wall of the copper pot twice through his cotton sleeve, and glanced at him: "It's very old, and it's made of copper, so it's not worth much."

The youngest Tu took it back: "It's not like I thought about it the same way, so I took it home and put it away—"

Li Shiyi interrupted him with a frown: "I told you earlier, it's not good to take it home when you dig it out from the ground." After coming in for a while, it wasn't so cold anymore. She stretched her shoulders and sneered: "Why, what do you think after death?" Meet a colleague?"

Tu Lao Yao shrank his neck, and said with a smile: "It was wrong, it was my fault. But this matter, it's too damn bad luck."

He lowered his voice: "Since I took this thing home, there will be whining noises every night, which scares my mother-in-law and makes her sleep uneasy."

"I'm wondering whether I offended the master or send it back." The youngest Tu peeked at Li Shishi.

Li Shishi put the match back into his pocket and sniffed, "Don't go back when you open the coffin, and don't take out the inverted bucket a second time. This is the rule in the industry."

"I know, I know, but this happened to me just the second time I fought, and I can't do anything about it." Tu Lao Yao grabbed Li Shiyi's sleeve, his face wrinkled like a shrunken skin.

"You want me to take you there?" Li Shiyi stared at him.

Tu Laoyou hurriedly nodded, seeing that Li Shishi had no response, she rolled her eyes, immediately squatted down, hugged her ankle, and begged, "Eleventh Sister, Boss Li, Guanyin Bodhisattva, my Lord Qingtian! "He howled and hammered Li Shishi's calf: "My mother-in-law's belly is eight or nine months old, and she is about to give birth. At this time, she caused a disaster. It is to make my old Tu family die!"

Li Shiyi struggled twice, but couldn't break free, lowered his head and scolded: "Tu Sanping."

The youngest Tu raised her head and looked at her with tears in her eyes: "Sister Eleven, I was brought into the industry by you. Although I only dared to dig out the small tomb, I have inherited your mantle and ate the food passed down from your ancestors."

The corner of Li Shishi's mouth twitched: "You used to guard the tomb for a living, but you ran into me when you peed at night, followed me for a peek, and then turned around and took a shovel to dig.

Tu Lao Yao didn't care, he hugged her leg and didn't let go.

Li Shiyi sighed: "Which tomb is it?"

The youngest Tu was stunned, and without wiping away his tears, he smoothed Li Shiyi's trouser legs with joy: "It's on the east side, it's on the east side."

It was supposed to start work at two o'clock in the morning and finish at five o'clock.In the afternoon, Li Shiyi closed the stall early and went home to pack his tools.The youngest Tu followed her all the way back, and saw that she looked like a bare house with clear soup and little water. The clean and narrow cabin only had a bed covered with green cloth and an oil-soaked dining table. The fire hadn't been fired for several days. , The stove was also dusted.

The youngest Tu looked at her cotton coat and melon skin hat: "The treasure in your warehouse is priceless. Now that you have even installed electric lights, why do you still look so shabby?"

Li Shiyi glanced at him: "Wealth does not reveal wealth, especially the dead money."

Tu Laoyao thought about it too, in today's turbulent age, people's heads are tied to their belts.

Li Shiyi dragged out a shiny leather box from under the bed board, picked up a few strong shovels, picks, Luoyang shovels, and axes from it, and stuffed them into the cloth pocket at the head of the bed, and found a few more. Palm-length small white oil candles, went to the threshold and picked up a few wooden sticks, wrapped them in cotton cloth and poured kerosene, tied them into torches three or two times, and finally tied a bundle of thick hemp rope on the bulging cloth bag, tied it firmly. Back to back.

She poured another bowl of leftover cooked glutinous rice from the table, wrapped it in oiled paper, took a few black donkey hooves from the kang hole, blew firewood ash and stuffed them into her pocket, and took out a few more on the stove. One mouth of the small jug was stained with black dog blood, it was very fishy, ​​she shook it, put it on her waist, rinsed another empty gourd from the washing pot water, held it in her hand and walked out.

The youngest Tu saw her go out with a bag in front and a bag in the back, climbed over the fence in the backyard, picked a few spicy garlic, fed them to the mouth of the fat old cow, and squatted in front of her, with the mouth of the gourd facing the cow. jaw.

After receiving half of the gourd cow's tears, Li Shishi put the gourd away, and it was complete.

Tu Laoyao looked at her, then at the tearful old cow, and squeezed the lonely wooden shovel in his hand.

As soon as it was dark, Tu Laojiao brought Li Shishi to the cemetery mentioned in the daytime. Li Shishi took a look and saw more than ten piers lined up from northwest to southeast. She asked Tu Laojiao: "Which one?"

Youngest Tu pointed to the southeast corner: "The biggest one."

Li Shishi glanced at him, he was not very courageous, but his appetite was not small.

Tu Laoya followed Li Shishi to the tomb, saw that she was not in a hurry to go down, broke off two thick branches, sat on one for himself, and put the other next to her, Tu Laoya pulled it over, and stood next to her. Sitting down, seeing Li Shishi staring at the tomb in a daze, he couldn't help asking her, "Sister Shishi, what are you looking at?"

Li Shishi took out a pocket watch from his dusty padded jacket, opened it to look, and said, "The ground will be broken at eleven o'clock."

The youngest Tu stretched his neck and looked at her watch eagerly, rubbed his hands and smiled: "Pure gold?"

Li Shishi ignored him, took out a candle from his cloth pocket, lit it on the southeast corner of the tombstone, took out the pipe, stuffed the shredded tobacco in it, lit the match, took a deep breath, and In his mouth, he spit it out again, and handed it to Lao Yao Tu: "Have two mouthfuls."

Tu Lao Yao honestly took it, took a deep breath, and said with satisfaction: "No wonder you said this is a guy who eats."

"It's fine if there is a smell of smoke in your mouth." Li Shishi frowned and stared at the extinguished candle, and when he spoke, the lingering smoke in his mouth came out, lingering around.

Tu Laoyao looked at her, her ugly face was filled with a trace of treachery in the tobacco.

Li Shishi blinked, seeing the candle was tottering in the wind and finally blown out with a snap, she stood up and took out the dry smoke from Tu Laoyao's mouth.

"This tomb cannot be moved, let's go."
