He opened his eyes with a solemn expression,
“No, six or seven is still too early.
It should be later.”
“What are you pretending to calculate?”
“You don’t understand!
There are particular reasons!
Plus, around six or seven, those tourists haven’t completely descended the mountain yet.
If we run into those hikers who wander off the beaten track...
Seeing us digging up graves, they’d definitely call the cops!”
Gao Yang waved his hand grandly,
“So, nine o’clock!
...
We’ll meet at the entrance we came through at nine.”
He snorted coldly,
“When the moon is dark and the wind is high, the time to turn the soil!”
...
Ten o’clock at night.
The moon was dark and the wind was high.
The brightness that belonged to the night was completely covered by the dark clouds.
The sky was so clouded, not even the moon or a single star could be seen.
Lin Xian and Gao Yang, fully equipped, stood in the valley, ten meters away from the pomegranate tree, looking straight ahead.
“No.”
Lin Xian turned his head, looking at Gao Yang, who was ridiculously equipped,
“Are you serious?”
At this moment, Gao Yang.
Wore a miner’s hat, holding a Luoyang Shovel in his left hand and a Sapper Shovel in his right, with a large cloth bag filled with sticky rice hanging from his waist and an Ivory Tomb Raider Amulet around his neck.
Most critically...
He was biting on a black donkey hoof in his mouth!
Everything else was bearable, but Lin Xian couldn’t stand this:
“Black donkey hooves are for stuffing in a zombie’s mouth, what are you doing with it?
Do you want to kiss a zombie or spit it into its mouth?”
“Lin Xian!
Come here!”
Gao Yang called out excitedly,
“We struck paydirt!”
Lin Xian jogged over, grabbed the rod-like Luoyang Shovel, and jabbed up and down.
Indeed.
There was something hard below, and it even produced a dull sound of striking wood.
“The coffin...”
Lin Xian whispered,
“Looks like that old lady was right, Zhang Yuqian’s grave is buried right here.”
Then, the two continued to use the Luoyang Shovel for positioning.
With a reference point, the rest was much easier, and soon, they had completely determined the coffin’s position and size.
“Phew...”
Gao Yang threw aside the Luoyang Shovel, wiped his face with his sleeve,
“Fortunately, the position of the coffin is in front of the pomegranate tree, and the distance is not short, so we don’t have to worry about the roots of the pomegranate tree affecting it.
Also, the burial wasn’t too deep...
of course, we can’t rule out the possibility of soil erosion over the years.
Needless to say, we’re really lucky.”
“Indeed, not bad.” Lin Xian agreed.
“But if something seems unusual, there must be demons!”
“Could you die if you talk less?
Just dig.”
...
Crack, crack, crack.
The two began digging in the area above the coffin, one with a shovel and the other with a spade, quickly uncovering the coffin lid.
Without moonlight, the flashlight shone on it, the lacquer long decayed and fallen away, revealing only the coarse original color of the wood, but this wood was of really good quality, having been buried in the ground for over twenty years, it was still so solid, not completely decayed.
“We should also thank the fact that it’s up north, where both the air and soil are drier.
If it were in our southern parts, even the best wood buried in the soil for twenty years would have completely decayed.”
As Gao Yang dug, he said,
“So this Zhang Yuqian’s dad really did have money, the wood used for the coffin is high quality, solid wood, I think this material is even mahogany, sheesh...
mahogany furniture is so expensive, such a big mahogany coffin must’ve cost a fortune, and this mahogany plank is pretty good, I could definitely make a tea table out of it.”
