The box was quite heavy when it came out. I flicked it up with my fingers, and it made a dull sound like gold and iron, which could be heard far away in the silent and gloomy underground culvert...
"What is this? Doesn't it look like a coffin?"
Liu Shiba was dumbfounded and looked at the box with some confusion.
Cao Xiong stared at his old eyes and didn't know why, frowned and said:
"I don't know what it is, but I am sure that the wood is ten thousand-year-old agarwood.
The old man weighed it and estimated that it weighed one or two hundred kilograms. How can ordinary wood be so heavy? It has been buried for thousands of years and is intact? There is still a fragrance coming out? "
When Liu Shiba heard this, he instantly felt a chill on his body, as if he suddenly remembered something, and said hurriedly:
"That's right, it's a coffin. We all thought wrong. The owner of this tomb is a child. Use ten thousand-year-old agarwood as a coffin? What a great feat..."
Staring at the miniature coffin, the two of them looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes, full of joy, knowing that getting rich was right in front of them...
Cao Xiong looked back at the culvert and frowned:
"No matter what it is, just this agarwood can be sold for a lot of money. Take it away first to avoid long nights and dreams.
It’s almost dawn, it’s too conspicuous for the two of us to carry this thing on the street, we have to get back as soon as possible!”
Liu Shiba nodded, looked at the gloomy tomb again, his eyes flashed, and he said doubtfully:
"The body has been found. So, is this double evil situation solved?"
"It should be calculated that the corpse is the formation eye of Shuanglong Tuozhu. As long as we take the coffin more than a hundred meters away from this tomb, the killing trap will be broken!"
After Cao Xiong finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to calculate, then carefully looked at Liu Shiba's face, and said happily:
"Go quickly, your appearance is a good omen at the moment."
Liu Shiba and Cao Xiong spent a lot of effort to get the small coffin to the top of the culvert. They were as tired as the old black man, sticking out his dog tongue and panting heavily.
"Old Cao, you and Lao Hei slowly move this thing toward the gate of the construction site. I'll go back and fill in the hole to restore it to its original state."
Liu Shiba said hello and returned to the tomb under the culvert.
Liu Shiba, who went down to the tomb, listened attentively, and a strange look flashed in his eyes. He quickly took out a small glass bottle for injecting medicine from his pocket, then took out a knife and cut off a strand of hair...
…
After stuffing his hair into the bottle, Liu Shiba frowned and thought for a moment. With a painful face, he made a small cut on his middle finger and squeezed a few drops of blood into the bottle.
Then Liu Shiba picked up the engineering shovel and continued to dig a few times, then threw the bottle down and filled it with soil, then stood on it and stepped on it a few times.
Liu Shiba is a surveyor. According to his estimation, the current level in the culvert will be the future subway base. It cannot be deeper. The bottle can maintain its effect for at least ten years.
After doing all this, Liu Shiba took a breath and muttered softly:
"This is the gold-touching method taught by grandpa, the low-level art of seizing a magpie's nest? I don't know if it has any effect..."
When Liu Shiba climbed out of the culvert with the engineering shovel, he saw Cao Xiong and Lao Hei
The small coffin has been put into a bag and pulled to the wall of the construction site.
"What are you waiting for? Let's go, it's getting dark."
Cao Xiong glanced at Liu Shiba dissatisfied.
"Rush to reincarnate? Look, my shorts are dripping with water."
Liu Shiba glared at the old guy.
After finally getting the coffin over the wall, the two of them were as tired as dogs. This thing was really heavy.
The dream of getting rich kept the two of them as strong as if they had taken aphrodisiacs. Although they were a little tired, their faces were beaming with joy.
At this time, there was already white fish belly in the east. Liu Shiba looked at the still gloomy sky, pointed forward and said:
"Old Hei, go ahead."
When Lao Hei, who was lying on the ground, heard this, he jumped out...
At 5:30 in the morning, we stopped a taxi on the roadside. The two of us and the dog finally returned to Liu Shiba's cabin safely.
When Liu Shiba returned home, he simply washed himself, threw a few ham sausages to Lao Hei, and then each made a pack of instant noodles to fill his stomach with Cao Xiong.
After finishing the noodles, Liu Shiba lit up a cigarette and moved his eyes to the bag in the corner with contentment.
"Old Cao, what do you think is inside? Is it really the bones of the tomb owner?"
Liu Shiba glanced at Cao Xiong with a smile.
"How do you know, old man? You really think I am a god. You will know if you open it and take a look. All the old bones are falling apart tonight. It is unreasonable if there is no gain."
Cao Xiong lay on the sofa and burped with satisfaction.
Liu Shiba nodded, walked to the bathroom, took a rag and a bucket of water and came to the corner.
When I opened the bag, I discovered that the small coffin had changed color, from black to gray.
At this time, Cao Xiong also came over and said with a frown:
"It's a bit weathered. It's been buried underground for thousands of years, and suddenly it comes to light. The surface of the agarwood is a little dry, so it's changed color. It doesn't matter."
The surface of the small gray coffin was covered with mud. Liu Shiba gently wiped the surface clean with a rag, and then looked at it carefully.
The shape of the small coffin was high in front and low in back, and the lid was tightly fitted. Liu Shiba didn't know where to start.
"How to do it? Lao Cao, tell me?"
Liu Shiba looked back.
"Pry it open, how else can I do it?"
Cao Xiong curled his lips.
"What should I do if it's broken? Isn't the agarwood coffin worthless?"
Liu Shiba asked with wide eyes.
"Don't use brute force. You see there is no rust around the coffin lid, but there are traces of wooden wedges underneath. Pick up the handle and loosen it slowly, and then pull out the wedge to open it."
Cao Xiong walked around the coffin, stroking his beard and observing, and came to a conclusion.
Liu Shiba nodded, found the screwdriver, inserted it into the gap under the coffin lid as instructed, and slowly loosened the wooden wedge.
After more than ten minutes, a total of twelve wooden wedges were pulled out from the coffin lid...
After working hard all night, it was finally time to harvest, and Liu Shiba felt a little nervous and happy.
This was the first time he had done such a side job, his hands were trembling a little, and he had a little expectation in his heart.
"Old Cao, do you think there will be a monster coming out of it?"
Liu Shiba stared at Cao Xiong and asked.
"Are you so brave that you still want to inherit Liu Shiliu's craftsmanship?"
Cao Xiong cursed.
After speaking, Cao Xiong found a pair of gloves, pushed Liu Shiba away, used a little force, and gently opened the coffin lid...
The moment the coffin was opened, the faces of Liu Shiba and Cao Xiong changed from curiosity to surprise, from surprise to fear...
"Deng Deng..."
The two took three steps back and fell to the ground.
"This...how is this possible?"
Liu Shiba pointed at the coffin stupidly.
Cao Xiong's face was full of shock, his mouth trembled and he was speechless.
The scene in front of them was too unbelievable. What caught their eyes was the corpse of a man, carved in pink and jade, who looked to be seven or eight years old, lying in the coffin.
The male corpse was perfectly preserved, completely naked, with a black crown on his head, a crown cord, and robes, which had obviously been turned into dust over countless years.
The bright yellow soft cushion beneath his body turned into dust at a speed visible to the naked eye the moment the coffin was opened.
The appearance of the male corpse was extremely handsome, with fair skin, a plump body that showed no signs of shrinkage, slightly curved nails on his hands, and a calm demeanor.
He just lay quietly in the coffin, like a monster that has been sleeping for thousands of years...
In fact, this is not the main reason why Liu Shiba and Cao Xiong were shocked and turned pale...
There is another reason why the two of them are unconscious, because the male corpse is alive...
It can be clearly seen with the naked eye that the eyelashes of the male corpse are moving slightly, and the chest and abdomen are rising and falling...
