When we encounter such a poor person, we usually give him something to explain. This is considered a rule.
I felt around and found a dollar bill in my back pocket.
So I stuffed the one-dollar steel bouncy ball into the skull's mouth, and it happened to be stuck by the skull's teeth.
I smiled and said, "That's great. Brother, at least you can be buried with me."
After I finished, I pushed the coffin lid back again.
I don’t know how many years later, if other colleagues come up to open the coffin and see the steel bullet in the owner’s mouth, what their expressions will be.
"Boss! Brother Yu! Don't come up here yet! This might be a big fucking pit! I'll go in and take a look!"
Brother Yu waved his flashlight underneath, meaning to be careful.
I don’t know how deep the cave is. It’s about thirty to forty meters high. Traces of man-made digging can be seen everywhere around the cave wall. I stepped on the gravel under my feet and walked forward for about thirty meters. Suddenly, something appeared in front of me.
Build a huge artificial stone wall.
I held up my flashlight and looked carefully.
How much labor and time is needed to erect such a tall stone wall?
There is a small arch in the middle of the stone wall. I lowered my head and crawled through the small arch, and the space suddenly opened up.
Wherever you look, you can see ancient coffins everywhere... It is estimated that there are at least one or two hundred coffins.
These coffins were all lifted off the ground and nailed to a "well"-shaped wooden frame.
According to my previous understanding, the coffin supported by six pillars and three "well" frames is male, and the coffin supported by four pillars and two "well" frames is female.
It's early spring now, and there's obviously no wind here, but I feel very cold.
It means that there are too many dead people buried in caves here, and the Yin Qi has accumulated too much. This phenomenon is like walking alone in the cemetery at night in summer and you will feel cold.
Looking at the shape, workmanship and standard, you can tell that the coffins with flat and flat heads are crudely made and should be from the Ming Dynasty. On the other hand, those with bulging and curved lids are from the Qing Dynasty.
The earliest of these old coffins probably date to the late Ming Dynasty, and the latest may date to the Guangxu Tongzhi period, which means that no one has been buried here since the Republic of China.
I also saw that many coffins had a large pack of old and yellowed "oil paper" weighed down with stones. Upon closer inspection, I discovered that these oil papers were made into clothes that could be worn with two arms.
Why do you put an oil paper coat on the coffin board? I don't really understand. It may be some kind of custom of the local Miao people.
After walking a few steps with the flashlight, I found a few old bowls covered with dust on the ground. I picked up one and wiped it with my hand, revealing the pattern of the porcelain bowl itself.
I saw a big Chinese character "Shou" painted on the bowl with red glaze.
"Holy shit, this is so unlucky!"
I threw away the porcelain bowl and quickly wiped my hands.
This is a longevity bowl in the past. After a person dies, a layer of whole grains will be sprinkled on the bottom of the bowl, and then half-cooked rice will be placed on it, which is meant to be eaten by the person who is hungry on the way to death.
There are rumors that the hands of living people cannot touch the longevity bowl, otherwise they will compete with the dead to eat, which will attract those unclean things.
I just wanted to turn back.
Suddenly, a hand from behind lightly tapped my shoulder.
