The handsome man in the entertainment industry

I know this request is very rude. "

Xiao Xiao was scolded by the old woman pointing her nose, but her expression was not in a hurry, "It's not easy for Madam to cultivate, I have one thing here, I think it will help you, let me tell you carefully..."

……

After that, Ruan Mudeng saw his master smiling like a fox with a big tail, leaning towards the ghost fairy, the two of them talked for a long time, after some bargaining, they finally reached an agreement, Mrs. Deng agreed to relocate. Tomb, Xiao Xiao also said that he would definitely take care of all the details.

What Xiao Xiao promised to give to Mrs. Deng was a coffin made of gloomy wood.

"Dark wood" does not specifically refer to a certain kind of wood, but a general term for a certain type of wood.

Some solid wood materials, such as fir, nanmu, cypress, and eucalyptus, are buried deep in the soil due to changes in the stratum. After thousands or even tens of thousands of years of physical and chemical effects, the wood becomes hard and simple. , the color is as deep as carbon, and it strikes like gold and stone.

The coffin made of high-quality gloomy wood not only does not rot or crack for thousands of years, and is invulnerable to insects and ants, but also can store essence and energy, and enjoy blessings to avoid disaster. For the ghosts living in it, it is simply a treasure that cannot be found. baby.

The gloomy wooden coffin in Xiao Xiao's hand was a treasure that a warlord made for his old man many years ago. Before it could be used, the warlord himself died in the random gunfire, and the family members in the city got the letter , also hastened to pack up the soft and absconded overnight.So no one came to pick up the coffin, and it stayed in the longevity material shop.

After ten years of catastrophe, the longevity shop closed down, and the coffin was also sent away by the boss, and finally fell into the hands of Xiao Xiao, who put it in the suburb of city A together with many other miscellaneous big things. In a warehouse in China, it has been stored for several years.

But such a large and heavy coffin, it is definitely impossible for Xiao Xiao to carry it with her, and she has to find someone to get it, and moving the grave is a big event, it depends on the auspicious day and the auspicious time, it cannot be said Do it directly.

So after the master and apprentice settled the matter with Mrs. Deng, they went back to the hot spring villa, sat opposite Boss Xie, and explained the whole story clearly.

Boss Xie is also a neat person. After listening to this, he immediately made a decision to buy the coffin worth a million dollars from Xiao Xiao, and immediately contacted the logistics company to expedite and hurry up to get the things from City A. After transporting them here, he personally arranged for four strong men to follow the two of them around the mountain for two full days, and dug a new grave at the place where Xiao Xiao finally fell in love.

Chapter 27, 04, Picking up Gold [-]

The day of moving the grave was chosen on Saturday, four days later.

But before moving the grave, there is one very important thing to do—that is, to pick up the bones.

The so-called "picking up bones", also known as "picking up gold", is a custom that has existed in many places since ancient times. People who engage in this profession are called "gold pickers".

Ordinary coffins are buried in the ground, and have been subjected to changes in cold and heat, water and insects over the years, especially for old tombs that have passed the age. It just cracked, and there was no way to bury it directly.

In this case, the old coffin must be opened, and the bone pickers will pick up all the remains inside one by one, put them into a new coffin, nail the coffin into the tomb, and bury it again.

There are many details about "picking bones".

It can only be done by one person, and that person must be a man.

Because the remains cannot see the light, he had to put the coffin into the coffin at midnight, and finish it before [-] o'clock. The whole work was done in the dark, and he couldn't even light a soybean-sized oil lamp, and he couldn't make a sound during the whole process. Finish the work silently, and the task is not completed until the bones are put into a new coffin and the coffin lid is closed.

Mrs. Deng was born in the Daoguang period, and it has been almost 200 years since she was buried in the earth. Since it is necessary to change her coffin, the step of "picking up bones" is naturally unavoidable.

At one o'clock in the night, Xiao Xiao and Ruan Mudeng changed into white bunt outfits with a black cloth belt around their waists. Holding flashlights, they walked along the rugged mountain road for a while and came to Madam Deng's tomb.

The old tomb had been dug up earlier, and the broken stele had been moved to one side. Two coffins were placed side by side on the edge of the grave. One of them was dark and lacquered with oily gold, while the other was covered with wet mud and painted red. The color is almost gone, revealing the true color of the underlying logs.

"Do you remember everything I told you?"

Xiao Xiao turned her head to look at the young man beside her.

"Um……"

Ruan Mudeng replied softly.

There was no expression on his face, but his lips were tightly pursed and his cheek muscles tensed, obviously secretly nervous.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here..."

Xiao Xiao stretched out her hand and hooked the young man's shoulder from behind, and pulled him towards her. The beam of flashlight in her hand swayed towards the old mud-stained coffin, "And Mrs. Deng is also sensible. I won't embarrass you."

"Well……"

Ruan Mudeng changed a syllable, but the expression on his face remained unchanged.

"Are you ready?"

Xiao Xiao and Ruan Mudeng stood alone at one end of the coffin, inserting the crowbar into the gap between the coffin lid and the coffin body, "Come when you're ready—one, two, three!"

There was a grinding sound of "clack la la la" and they pried open the lid of the coffin. Xiao Xiao turned off the flashlight, and the two of them pushed the lid open with all their strength. , Once again exposed to the fresh air in the mountains.

From this moment on, they could no longer speak.

Ruan Mudeng took a deep breath, silently cheered himself up, then bit the bullet and crawled into the coffin in the dark.

Province G is humid and rainy all year round, and the soil is loose. The coffin has been buried in the ground for nearly 200 years, and there have been many fine and dense cracks and holes. Greasy mud.

Moreover, the coffin has been retting in the ground for many years, so the smell is naturally terrible. The fishy smell of rotten wood mud is mixed with the stench of rotting flesh and blood. The smell can make people stumble as soon as the coffin is opened.Even though Ruan Mudeng wore a mask beforehand, he still couldn't help retching, almost breaking the taboo of "not making a sound".

To be honest, ordinary people, let alone reaching out their hands to fumble in a rotten coffin, just thinking about what is soaked in this muddy water, I am afraid that the shit will be frightened and almost fainted.

However, Ruan Mudeng had learned skills from Xiao Xiao for a few months, and his character was also very tenacious. He resisted the overwhelming nausea and trembling in his heart, and moved his right hand along the wet coffin wall bit by bit.

The space inside the coffin was not that big, and soon, he felt a hard, round object——it was Mrs. Deng's skull.

He was trembling all over, and quickly groped to pick up the whole skull and put it into a big black cloth bag...

……

In this way, the young man who was forced by his master to do the "bone picking" business for the first time, worked for more than half an hour in a pile of wet and messy fabrics, connecting the many large and small bones to Mrs. Deng The gold and silver jewelry and jade bracelets worn on the body during the burial were all "picked up".

He searched carefully for a while, and made sure that he hadn't missed anything. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, handed the bag containing the bones to Xiao Xiao who was waiting outside, and then planned to climb out of the coffin.

However, just as he supported the edge of the coffin with both hands and was about to go out, a strong force suddenly grabbed his left ankle and pulled him back violently!

Unprepared, Ruan Mudeng was pulled upright by this force, sat back in the coffin, and fell hard.A cry of surprise stuck in his throat, and the moment he was about to blurt out, his rationality could hardly be regained, and he forced himself to hold it back.

--How is this going? !

Ruan Mudeng couldn't speak out to ask his master, and even made a sound in the coffin, which was an offense to the owner of the corpse. He could only get up from the pile of moldy mourning clothes, propped his hands on the coffin wall, and looked around blankly.

Tonight is the new moon, the sky is still overcast, and the coffin is pitch black, and you can't see your fingers.

His ankle hurts a lot, the blow just now was really hard, and at this time there may have been a circle of bruises.

Ruan Mudeng thought about it, and felt that he might not have picked up the bones cleanly, and the owner of the tomb was upset, so he pulled his ankle and forced him back.

So he could only bend down, and rummaged through the muddy water and wet cloth, groping inch by inch, looking for the bones or burial objects he left behind.But half an hour later, he only found a glazed bead stuck in a crack, and found nothing more.

...The tugging at him just now was probably not because of this bead...

Ruan Mudeng was apprehensive, holding the glass beads tightly with one hand, and tentatively holding the edge of the coffin with the other, making a gesture to turn over.

Sure enough, the moment his body leaned forward, his left ankle was pulled violently again, dragging him back into the coffin again.

It was pulled on the same place on the same foot twice, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the young man. He felt that his ankle was not only bruised, but it was probably swollen all over the circle. It hadn't happened for several days Law subsides.

It seems that Mrs. Deng was really angry and insisted on making things difficult for him, a junior. If she didn't settle the matter according to her old man's wishes, he would definitely not be able to go out tonight without any injuries. .

...both left footed...

Ruan Mudeng suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he realized what the problem was - Mrs. Deng was crippled and was missing a left leg.
