Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 364 Never expected

The coffin lid, also called the coffin top, is actually quite difficult to pry open.

Coffins for rich people like this are made of wood that is not easy to rot, and the thickness of the coffin boards is extremely thick.

The coffin itself is also coated with anti-corrosion paint, and the coffin in front of us is also protected by the outer coffin.

So the whole coffin looked like it hadn't been rotten at all and was quite sturdy.

And this kind of buried coffin usually has seven coffin nails.

The coffin nails are called "settling nails" or "descendants' nails". These nails are quite long.

The most important thing is that the carpenter who made this kind of coffin has very sophisticated skills, and the entire coffin lid and the coffin itself are very tightly attached.

So Wang An, who was holding the chisel, felt like he had no idea where to start.

Lin Dajiang looked at Wang An who was spinning around with the drill, and suddenly advised:
"Xiao An, why don't you just leave this thing alone? There's usually nothing interesting in a coffin anyway."

Wang Dashu said, "The coffin cover has been opened, what's left? How do you know there's usually nothing good in a coffin?"

Lin Dajiang knew that he had let the cat out of the bag, but he still explained:

"I heard it from others, too."

Wang Dashu rolled his eyes at Lin Dajiang, then said with a smile:

"Before you got married, I could tell you were a worthless guy, and you're still pretending to be nice to me."

Lin Dajiang smiled awkwardly but said nothing.

Wang An ignored the conversation between the two and said to Wang Li:
"Old Five, hand me the pickaxe."

At this time, Wang Dazhu could no longer bear the excitement and hurriedly said to Wang An:
"What? You still want to split the coffin open?"

Wang An said with a smile: "Yeah, my great uncle is right, the graves have been dug, so there is no shortage of coffins."

When Wang Dazhu heard his son say this, he seemed to want to say something, but he just moved his mouth and said nothing.

In fact, the reason why Wang An wanted to split the coffin open was not because he coveted the money inside, but because Wang An discovered that there was something wrong with the coffin.

That is, it's too wide!

In the Northeast, normal coffins are about 60 to 70 centimeters wide. Even if the wood used is thick, it should not exceed 90 centimeters.

And the coffin in front of me must be at least 1.34 meters tall.

So at this time Wang An was very suspicious that there was not a single person lying in the coffin!

You should know that in ancient society, there was an extremely cruel form of burial, that is - human sacrifice.

That is to say, the living people accompany the dead to die!

Although Wang An was not a good person, anyone who heard about this kind of thing would be furious and would want to kill his entire family.

Wang An actually had great respect for the Ming Dynasty.

"No marriage, no compensation, no cession of territory, no tribute. The emperor guards the country's gates and the king dies for the country."

You should know that this sentence is not just a slogan.

All the emperors of the Ming Dynasty did this. Even the last emperor, Chongzhen, never surrendered.

In one word, it is "fight". Fight to the death. If you can't defeat Lajiba, you will rather commit suicide than surrender.

Wang An clearly remembered that the system of human sacrifice had been abolished in the late Ming Dynasty, but why was this coffin so wide?

At the same time, Wang An also knew that during the Qing Dynasty, human sacrifice had revived.

So Wang An just wanted to find out the truth!

Wang An took the square pick handed over by Wang Li and chopped at the coffin lid. In fact, many people don't know that when it comes to chopping wood, a pickaxe is often more useful than an axe.

Because the blade of the pickaxe is narrower, all the forces can be more concentrated.

There was a loud bang and the coffin lid was closed without any problem.

The pickaxe has been swung, and stopping it is absolutely impossible.

So Wang An didn't care how strong the coffin lid was and just chopped it down with one pickaxe after another.

Wang Dazhu saw that his son was determined to split the coffin open, so he took a pickaxe and started splitting the coffin.

All you can hear are very rhythmic "heng", "heng", and "heng" sounds echoing throughout the mountains.

It has to be said that no matter how strong the wood is, it cannot beat a pickaxe.

It also has to be said that brothers fight together in war, and fathers and sons fight together in battle.

With a "crackling" sound similar to that of wood breaking, the coffin lid was finally opened by Wang Dazhui and his son Wang An.

At this time, Wang Dazhu and his son were already exhausted and out of breath.

At this time, Wang Dashu stepped forward and wanted to take the pickaxe from Wang Dazhu's hand, but Wang Dazhu did not let him.

Mu Xueli and Wang Li also suddenly stepped forward and said almost at the same time:
"Brother-in-law, take a break, I'll do it"

"Fourth brother, give it to me, I'll chop it for a while."

In fact, it’s not that others don’t want to help, but everyone is quite superstitious about splitting coffins.

Although Wang Dazhu also has a taboo, as a father he certainly cannot stand by and watch his son’s affairs!
Of course, Wang An also understands this matter. After all, everyone has his or her own ideas.

The most important thing is that it is really unreasonable to smash someone's coffin for no reason.

So Wang An, like Wang Dazhu, rejected the two men's attempts to help without hesitation.

Wang An observed the opening on the coffin lid, threw the pickaxe aside, took the ice pick directly, and then jumped onto the coffin lid.

Aiming at the opening, Wang An pushed the ice pick directly down. With another "click", the tip of the ice pick was halfway penetrated into the coffin lid.

Press the ice pick down horizontally, and you will hear the nails on the edge of the coffin lid make a "creaking" sound like the nails leaving the wood.

When Wang Dazhu saw this, he also stuffed the horizontal blade of the square pick into the split hole on the coffin lid, and together with Wang An, they pried the coffin lid half open.

In fact, what Wang An regretted at this moment was that he did not bring a chainsaw when he went into the mountains this time. Otherwise, the coffin could have been sawed open in just a few minutes.

Using the same method, they pried open the other side of the coffin lid, and Wang Dazhu and his son opened the entire coffin lid perfectly.

After opening the coffin lid and seeing the scene inside the coffin, Wang An immediately widened his eyes in shock.

Then Wang An narrowed his eyes and stabbed the skull in the middle with an ice pick.

Because what Wang An never expected was that there was not just one person lying inside, but three people.

When the skull head shattered, the golden rat braid next to it, which looked like a pig's tail, remained intact.

On both sides of the corpse with golden rat braids, there is a slightly smaller white skeleton with long hair.

It can be seen from the limbs of these two skeletons that they were tied up and placed in coffins when they were alive.

There was nothing covering their eyes.

Everyone who saw this scene was speechless at first, and then their faces were filled with anger.

All he heard was Wang Dashu angrily saying, "Fuck this green dog beast."
