Chapter 77 - Family Burial
The moment he saw the hosta, Xu Tian waved his hands to the two of them, called Li Kun and Baihe's names and asked them to come over and take a look at it together.
Both of them were stunned when they saw these two hairpins. Li Kun's eyes also widened. He looked at the hairpin in Xu Tian's hand and asked: "Old Xu, this is a good thing.
.”
Xu Tian nodded: "This hosta is priceless and can be a national treasure. We suggest giving this hosta to Professor Zhang and asking the old man to hand it over to the country when the time comes. We have made a contribution, and we can also end up with a
Good reputation."
Li Kun looked at Bai He beside him, then looked at Xu Tian, and winked at Xu Tian.
Xu Tian immediately understood what Li Kun meant, and then Li Kun said: "What about this piece of wood? I think this piece of wood is quite ordinary."
Xu Tian had already understood what Li Kun meant, and then he coughed slightly and said, "That's right, this one is of no use anymore. Let's put it back in the box and leave it here."
Li Kun frowned and said: "It's a pity if it's still here. How about I take it with me and give it away later. Although this toy is probably made of broken wood and not very valuable, fortunately it belongs to Yu Ruyi."
The shape has a good meaning, I’ll take it and give this hosta to Professor Zhang.”
Xu Tian reached out and handed the wooden hairpin to Li Kun and said, "What is the use of this thing? It can only be used as a decoration."
Bai He listened to what the two said. After hearing the two belittle the wooden hairpin, Bai He was no longer curious about the wooden hairpin, and stared at the jade hairpin with his eyes.
Bai He came closer to take a look, and then said: "This thing must be a good treasure. I didn't expect that we can find such rare objects in any house. You two are so lucky.
"
Li Kun smiled and said: "This is luck, but not luck, haha."
Li Kun's words are not nonsense. Ever since the three of them rescued thousands of ghosts in the Tomb of the Fox Immortal, their luck has been getting better day by day. They can pick them up even while strolling on the road.
Money, and the popularity of Liuyun Store has exceeded the imagination of the three of them.
Not to mention anything else, Li Kun's watch alone is worth a sky-high price. In this impoverished era, the per capita income of ordinary people is only more than ten yuan a day, and Liuyun Store can now be said to be making money every day.
It’s not an exaggeration, and the reputation of Liuyun Store has long been established in the county.
Even the city's senior leaders have come to Liuyun Store for observation. The three of them have long felt that Liuyun Store is still a bit small now, and they plan to open a few more branches to make Liuyun Store completely bigger.
, of course, these are all things for later.
Xu Tian handed the box of the hosta to Bai He and said to him: "Bai He, keep this hosta well and give it to Professor Zhang when we go out."
Bai He nodded, stretched out his hands to take the box, and then gently put the box into the compartment inside his backpack.
After bringing the box, the three of them looked around. When they saw that everything else was empty, Xu Tian said to the two of them: "There is nothing on this floor. Let's go upstairs."
Go and have a look.”
The two nodded, then turned and walked to the stairs on the right side of the door.
All three of them picked up their flashlights and looked up. Li Kun said, "You two are behind me, I will take the lead."
The two nodded, and Li Kun picked up the submachine gun slung around his waist, turned on the strong flashlight, and walked straight up with gentle steps.
Not long after, the three of them reached the top floor of the second floor.
Li Kun turned around and pointed the gun at the floor. After scanning around, Li Kun said "safe" and then put the gun down.
When all three of them went upstairs, they couldn't help but be stunned. They saw that the top floor was unusually empty.
The second floor is divided into two rooms. The three people are in a small room, which takes up about a quarter of the entire floor.
But the three people on the other side couldn't see that there was a wooden door in front of the three people. The wooden door was closed tightly, but there was nothing in front of them, except the dusty ground.
Seeing this, Xu Tian said to the two of them: "I'll open the door, and you can enter by crossing one on the left and the other on the right."
The two nodded, Xu Tian walked to the wooden door and whispered: "Three, two, one, open the door."
After saying that, Xu Tian stretched out his hand and pulled hard on the door. There was a creaking sound from the wooden door, and the two wooden doors opened simultaneously.
Bai He and Li Kun rushed in, but when the two of them took a look, the scene in front of them made Li Kun feel happy for a while, but Bai He's eyes were round and full of fear.
After Xu Tian walked in, he saw the scene inside the house.
Xu Tian couldn't help but be stunned for a while after entering. Xu Tian raised his eyes and saw seven wooden coffins neatly arranged on the second floor!
Six of these seven coffins are the coffins of normal adults, but the length of the coffin in the center is less than two meters. This coffin is obviously the coffin of a child.
When he saw these seven coffins, Li Kun put down the gun in his hand, raised his eyebrows at Xu Tian, and said: "Old Xu, seven coffins, what should we say, should we open them and take a look, or should we go back now?"
?”
After hearing what Li Kun said, Xu Tian first looked around, then walked to the edge of the window and looked down at the gap in the wooden window.
The street was very bright, but Tian Tian and his group were the only ones waiting there.
Seeing this, Xu Tian finally said: "Old Liu and Professor Zhang haven't come out yet. We can open one of them and take a look."
Hearing this, Bai He couldn't help but shook his head and said: "This can't be done. If you open the coffin, wouldn't it disturb the purity of this family? It's already a big deal for us to break into their house. If we are trying to kill them
If the coffin is opened, they will come after us."
Li Kun rolled his eyes and said, "Brother Bai, all you talk about is superstition. Aren't you curious at all?"
Bai He was stunned and asked: "Ah? Curious? What's there to be curious about?"
Li Kun said: "Look, these seven coffins are placed on the second floor of their house. Apparently all the family members died in these seven coffins. And according to my estimation, Professor Zhang and the others must have met them now."
Same situation as us.
I dare not say anything else. I can guarantee that Professor Zhang and the others will also open one of the coffins for inspection. If you don’t believe it, you can just ask Zhao Song after we get out.
And maybe there are rare objects stored in this coffin. If we find something good and give it to Professor Zhang, it will be a great achievement. When you go back, wait for your superiors to award you a second-class merit medal.
Well, this is a good opportunity to make a meritorious performance."
After hearing what Li Kun said, Xu Tian was also stunned for a while, and thought to himself, Li Kun is getting more and more like his life is in vain.
Bai He was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then he was immersed in the fantasy of a second-class merit medal.
Xu Tian patted Bai He and said: "Since we saw that the coffins are stored on the second floor, they must be opened. We should give Professor Zhang an explanation after we go out, otherwise we may have to come up to open the coffins. That way
It would be a waste of time."
After hearing what Xu Tian said, Bai He came back to his senses. He turned around and looked at the seven coffins on the second floor. He couldn't help but feel a little frightened in his heart. Seeing that both of them were looking at him, Bai He could only say:
He nodded and agreed to open the coffin and inspect it with the two of them.
After confirming, Li Kun nodded at Xu Tian, and then both of them put down their backpacks.
Li Kun took out a short-handled crowbar, and Xu Tian also took out a short-handled crowbar, but at the same time he took out five sticks of incense.
Xu Tian took out his lighter and lit the incense first. Then he walked to the front of the coffin and inserted the incense into the gap in the ground. These five incense sticks were the ghost worship incense.
Bai He was shocked when he saw that Xu Tian was still offering incense, but he didn't ask anything. He just thought it was to show respect for the deceased in the coffin.
After the two of them were ready, they walked to both sides of a coffin at the edge. They thrust the crowbar into the gap in the coffin lid, one on the left and the other on the right, and then pressed the crowbar in their hands downwards.
The long nails sealing the top of the coffin all stood up. The two looked at each other, and Li Kun waved his hand to Xu Tian, gesturing for him to move further.
Xu Tian walked a few steps to the side, then Li Kun bowed slightly, lifted the coffin lid with both hands, then moved it a few minutes to the right again, moved the coffin lid away, and then put it down.
After opening the coffin lid, the two of them took flashlights and looked into the coffin. At first glance, they both had bitter looks on their faces. In the coffin, there was only a mummy wrapped in skin and bones and corroded clothes.
There is no one else and nothing else.
Seeing this, the two of them looked at each other, but Li Kun frowned and said: "Old Xu, why do you think there is nothing in the coffin? Logically speaking, there must be at least a few items from his lifetime.
It’s my personal belongings, but I see there’s nothing else except clothes, what’s going on?”
Xu Tian thought for a moment, then looked at the seven coffins beside him, raised his finger and pointed at the smallest coffin in the center and said solemnly: "If my guess is correct, the funerary objects should be in the middle coffin. Look,
.”
As he spoke, Xu Tian raised his hand and pointed at the pattern on the coffin: "What is carved on it is not the so-called divine power of the Jin Chan ancient tribe, nor is it a dragon or a phoenix, but carved gold and silver jewelry."
As he spoke, Xu Tian raised his head and said to the two of them: "In ancient times, some ancient tribes also used family burials in groups. Unlike modern times, couples are buried together. There are other specialties among ancient tribes."
