I am born with insufficiency

Chapter 27
Maple Leaf Town is even more lively than Chinese New Year, and people are crowding in front of the Zhu Mansion, waiting for a gamble to open.

At this moment, Gu Buquan was still in the coffin shop, holding a bowl of frog eggs, kneading and grinding them, which was the result of a night of hard work by her and Ling An.

The frog eggs have been polished until they are clear and transparent, and they are as thin as onion wings when spread out, but she is still dissatisfied. She looked at them and continued to knead them.

Ling An was leaning against the coffin board, playing vigorously with Sun Xiaokong.

Hua Yingling broke in: "Silly, you are indeed here, come with me, this shabby coffin shop will be demolished soon. If you don't care about it, I advise you to go out and hide for a while, and wait until the limelight passes." return."

Shouting and stretching out his hands to pull, Ling An sat still, his eyes fixed on the work in his hand.

Hua rang the bell anxiously: "Silly boy, you don't listen to me?"

Gu Buquan didn't stop his hands, didn't raise his head, he just smiled indifferently: "Why should I hide?"

"Our class leader has already set up a gamble, and now almost half of the people who buy you will win or lose. If you don't go, the half you win will directly lose money, not to mention tearing down your coffin shop, even if you are beaten to death. possible."

Hua Rattle squinted at Gu Buquan: "At that time, you and Qiaoer will feed the wild dogs together."

Gu Buquan raised his eyes to look at the flower rattle: "Hey, when did the rattle girl care so much about me?"

Hua Yaoling was stunned, and her phoenix eyebrows raised: "What's the matter? I'm afraid you'll make the idiot tired. He has a lot of punches and kicks, but he might not be able to handle so many people."

"That's a big truth, but why do you think that I will definitely lose?"

Gu Buquan chuckled, "For the sake of the two of us fighting for so many years since we were young, let me give you a piece of advice, bet your treasure on me, you won't lose money, you can still make money."

As he spoke, he clasped his fingers, the frog eggs were moderately sticky, nodded, and said, "It's done."

After greeting Sun Xiaokong, he turned his head and left.

Without saying a word, Ling An followed closely behind.

Hua Yaoling was confused, thought for a while, and ran out of the coffin shop.

When the three of Gu Buquan arrived at the gate of Zhu's mansion, the bell of Chenshi had just rang.

Li Zheng raised the drafted coffin shop transfer letter in front of Gu Buquan, with a smug look on his face, just now he also bought it for himself to win, it's like lying down and earning a lot of money, I think it's a coincidence in the bottom of my heart Son deserves to die.

Gu Buquan glanced at the transfer letter, the transferee Fang Lizheng, the guarantor Zhang Dashan and Wu Qier had all been drawn up, and they were waiting for Gu Buquan to sign and sign.

She smiled, and carried the bamboo basket around in front of everyone.

"Let me count first, how many holes are there in this bamboo basket?"

The bamboo basket is not big, and rattan strips half a finger wide are woven squarely, with ten horizontal lines and ten vertical lines plus three inches high. Gu Buquan rubbed his hands in the bamboo basket vigorously while counting the holes, so as to spread the frog eggs evenly and carefully. flat.

"Stop dawdling, fetch water." Li Zheng urged impatiently.

"I have discussed it with Mr. Zhang Dashan. For the sake of fairness, you are allowed to draw water three times." Wu Qi said.

"Wait a minute." Hua Yaoling hesitated for a while with the money she had quietly saved over the years, and finally bet the treasure on Li Zheng.

Gu Buquan regretfully shook his head at the flower bell, and said: "It's hard to persuade a damned ghost with good words."

No more talking, just put the basket into the tank.

A bucket of water was splashed on the head of the coffin.

Two buckets of water were poured at the end of the coffin.

After Sanchishui circled around in front of the crowd, he turned around and quietly uncovered the frog eggs and hid them in his sleeve pockets. A basket of water splashed onto Lizheng's shoes.

Unwilling to be reconciled, Li Zheng grabbed the bamboo basket and fetched water into the water jar.

The black and white impermanent eyes on the roof stared round, and said: "Unbelievable, unbelievable."

The man in the cloak was thoughtful, and left in a hurry without saying a word.

"Yan Wangye has appeared."

Everyone went from stunned to erupting.

Immediately afterwards, the winners laughed and the losers howled in chaos, not only the banker Qi Liuhai lost all his money, Lizheng father and son not only failed to get the money and shop that they could not take care of, but also lost a large amount of gambling money, stomped away in anger.

Hua Yaoling sat down on the ground: "It's over, it's over."

Only Zhang Dashan's butler was overjoyed.

"Thanks to the shrewdness of the master, both sides bet half of the treasure, and they made a lot of money after conversion. No, the slave also made some small money by following you hahaha."

Zhang Dashan stroked his short beard on his chin and smiled, stroked A Huan's head, and walked away swaggeringly.

"Fight with me? Don't even think about who my master is!"

Gu Buquan pursed his lips and muttered, and slowly put all the money back into the bamboo basket, not to mention how much he had to clean up.

As early as Gu Buquan's childhood, her master taught her to play various interesting "spells", and this trick of fetching water from a bamboo basket is one of them.

At that time, she always felt that Master was amazing. To put it bluntly, he used the transparent jelly-like substance stirred up by frog eggs to paste the bamboo basket.

The most important thing is to be fast, so as not to be seen by others. Counting the holes in the bamboo basket is the best way to hide your eyes.

Gu Buquan's speed has been trained to the point where he can avoid the master's eyes.

But her pride was quickly frightened away by the surging crowd. The winning people were elated, while the red-eyed gamblers blamed her "bad luck", and their families even blamed her Gu Buquan is regarded as a monster.

"This is a demon law, and it is the scourge of our Maple Leaf Town. Beat this demon girl and skin her."

Someone yelled, and the gambler's family swarmed towards Gu Buquan.

She was clutching a bamboo basket of silver and wanted to get away, but it was too late, even if she went on a rampage, she couldn't break out of the encirclement.

Ling An was at a loss for a moment, it was no problem to beat them back with his kung fu, but right now he was facing the old and the weak, women and children, and he couldn't punch or kick them.

In desperation, he had no choice but to hug Gu Buquan, protect her under his body, and let those women and children's fists and feet hit him.

"Throw the silver, hurry up."

Hearing Gu Buquan's call, Ling An reached out and grabbed a handful of broken silver from the bamboo basket and threw it out.

Before the women could react, Ling An immediately threw a second handful of silver.

"Let's pick up silver."

Someone shouted, and the women no longer cared about incompleteness, and rushed to fight for money.

Ling An wanted to throw a third handful of silver, but Gu Buquan held him down: "You should save some for me."

Get up and pull Ling An and run.

He ran all the way to the coast, only then stopped and gasped for breath, while pointing at the only silver ingot left in the bamboo basket and laughing loudly.

"Thank you for giving me another spanking."

After laughing, she looked at him, these words burst out from the bottom of her heart.

He suddenly felt embarrassed, touched his forehead which was bruised and purple from the beating, and grinned with a smile.

She sat side by side with him on the reef, looking at the boundless sea.

Gu Buquan said: "There will be a storm in the afternoon."

"Why?" Ling An was very puzzled.

At this time, the sky was clear, the sea was calm, and the waves were beating slowly on the beach, and there was no sign of an approaching storm at all.

"Anyone who lives at sea knows that there are often turbulent waves hidden under the calm sea surface. The calmer the sea, the more important it is not to be taken lightly. It's like..."

She said with some concern, "I feel that Maple Leaf Town is a bit like the sea before the storm."

Ling An was thoughtful, his eyes gradually became confused, and his expression was in a trance, as if he was ups and downs in the turbulent waves, and a mask of Zhu Rong loomed among the floating peach blossoms.

He felt his head ache and he waved his hands.

"Fool, fool."

Hearing Gu Buquan's call, he woke up with a start, saw her face bathed in the sun, and gradually calmed down.

"You still can't remember how you got here?"

"Yeah." He nodded dejectedly.

"It's okay, everything will be fine."

She patted him on the shoulder boldly, "I don't know where I came from, Master said he picked me up in front of the coffin shop, I smiled at him, he left me as soon as he got hotheaded, And raised me."

"I don't know whose family I am, haven't I grown up well?"

"En." He nodded again, and quietly raised his eyes to see her face, which was clear, translucent and flawless.

"Sure enough, I'm hiding here." Hua Yaoling roared in the flat ground, startling the two of them, and rolled directly from the reef into the sand.

"Gu Buquan, you pay me money!"

Hua Yaoling lost all of her own money, and didn't get any of the money that was just scattered, she vented her anger on Gu Buquan, and yelled and yelled with her hands on her hips.

Ling An handed the only piece of silver left in the bamboo basket to her, and before she could smile, Gu Buquan snatched it back.

"Mine." Gu Buquan said domineeringly.
