I am born with insufficiency

Chapter 30
The setting sun had already dyed the treetops outside the coffin shop red, and Gu Buquan stood up from the threshold just now, only to realize that Ling An had been guarding her side the whole time, and Hua Yingling's pair of phoenix eyes were also staring angrily at her. she.

"Stupid, why don't you go?"

Ling An didn't speak, and silently moved the coffin board that was leaning outside the door into the door.

The coffin shop is different from other shops, there is no pretense, the first thing to do when opening the door every day is to put the best and thickest coffin board outside the door, and then move it back into the shop before closing the door.

Since the master has passed away, the hard work of moving the coffin boards in and out can only fall on Gu Buquan himself, and he can't move a thin board, otherwise it will be like smashing his own signboard.

"Thank you, idiot."

Seeing Ling An's effortlessness, Gu Buquan smiled wryly, "I won't have to move it soon. There are not many coffins left. I have to wait until I get the wood and make a new coffin before I can make a living."

When it comes to wood, she can't help feeling sad.

Master never hired helpers, all the coffins were made by Master, and the coffins were carried by boatmen hired by the sea.

Thinking about the days when she was required to plan the coffin boards by herself in the future, her brows were wrinkled into bun folds.

However, in Maple Leaf Town, no one would come to the coffin shop to help her as a helper.

I remember that half a year ago the coffin was paved with some high-quality wood, and the master was very excited. He planed the coffin boards day and night, and made more than a dozen coffins in one go, and the backyard was full.

However, in the past six months after Master passed away, the business of the coffin shop was not good, and the few who died were old and sick people who had already bought coffins.

Every time I think that the coffin shop can't last, I come to a business just right.

Last month, Mrs. Ray.

Last month, Shopkeeper Yu.

Last month, old Chen Ji.

up up up up up...

I don't know if it's a coincidence, except that Chen Qi's family's coffins are adjusted and painted, and they are steady, selling one coffin a month.

"Then this month?" Ling An asked casually.

Hua Yingling blurted out: "This month, five people died in the Zhu Mansion, four coffins were sold, and one was given away for nothing..."

Gu Buquan suddenly froze for a moment, and said in shock, "They all took care of their lives!"

Mrs. Lei, shopkeeper Yu, and old man Chen Qi all took care of their lives.Moreover, after their death, there must be a man in a cloak who came to collect debts with the deed of the house.

It's hard not to think that the relationship between the cloaked man and Liming Bank, in Gu Buquan's view, or he is the owner of Liming Bank is also unknown.

The reason why the cloaked man passed Zhu's mansion but didn't enter was because there was no one in Zhu's mansion.

The last thing he showed up was Lizheng's home.

In other words, the deceased this month was originally scheduled to be Miss Qiao'er, and whether she married or not married into Zhu's house, it would be a dead end.

Whether it was Mrs. Lei or Qiaoer, it seemed that they died in an accident, but they were all part of a well-designed plan.

Gu Buquan shivered in fright at his sudden realization, and heard Ling An's faint voice.

"And next month."

That's right, if the culprit behind it is not found out as soon as possible and this fateful situation is broken, which one will her coffin be sold to next month?
"Qiaoer, Mrs. Lei, Shopkeeper Yu, Old Chen Qi..."

Hua rattled the bell and screamed, "Oh my God, this is too scary."

Ling An also muttered in a low voice, "Outlanders wearing cloaks, black and white impermanence, life-saving banks..."

These people seem to have nothing to do with each other, but they are connected by some unknown force, resulting in a series of bizarre deaths in Maple Leaf Town.

"Fate is risky, and one must be cautious in casting one's life." Ling An frowned, and he had said this sentence several times.

Gu Buquan nodded: "Yes, this seems to have reminded the fortune-tellers that the risk is very high, even implying that they will die. However, how do I look, these people are clearly aware of the risk, but they are still rushing one by one Die, or let your loved ones die?"

In short, their deaths were by no means accidental!

And the only thing they have in common is fate.And they are all within the fate freeze period.

The more Gu Buquan thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he couldn't stop shivering.

"Are you cold?" Ling An looked at her stupidly.

She had to answer: "Well, it's cold."

"Stupid, I'm cold too." Hua Yaoling approached Ling An with her phoenix eyes.

Ling An bowed left and right, grabbed one in each hand, and directly carried them both into the coffin.

"This way it won't be cold."

Hua Rattle screamed and jumped out: "Bah, bah, I don't want to go into the coffin."

Gu Buquan smiled: "This is where Sun Xiaokong and Gui Xiaobao slept, mine is hanging in the backyard."

She loved to sleep in a coffin when she was young, so her master carried her to the bed in the house, and after a while she slipped out of the house and climbed into the coffin, huddled with Sun Xiaokong and Gui Xiaobao and fell asleep.

I remember Master laughing at her: "Buddha is a predestined person, I want you to be a good person, but you want to be with this hairy monkey. Forget it, let you go."

Laughing at her but afraid that she would freeze, she spread a thick quilt on the coffin, and fell asleep comfortably.

Later, when she got older, one coffin couldn't fit in, so Master specially built a coffin for her, with exquisite carvings and engravings, and hung it in the backyard like a swing. She was so happy that she jumped up and down.

Master's hearty laughter warmed the coffin in winter.

"Fateful person, predestined person." She suddenly sat up from the coffin.

Qiaoerniang said that only those who are destined can manage their fate.

Mrs. Lei and the others should also be predestined people, so who else is such a so-called "destined person"?There are many?

She suddenly remembered: "Others don't know much about it, but at least there is another Zhang Dashan."

Zhang Dashan's pet dog, A Huan, came back to life because another dog named A Xi died and gave the interest to A Huan. Now both dogs are alive and well.

Zhang Dashan was also unscathed. Is it because he committed suicide, or because he was the one who placed the order?

According to the known facts so far, those who cast their lives or were placed orders are all dead. Why are Zhang Dashan and his dog intact and alive?

Moreover, how could a calculating man like Zhang Dashan only risk his life instead of human life, and earn some "interest" for himself?Doesn't he want to live a long life?
"I can only come to ask for advice."

Gu Buquan jumped out of the coffin, pulled Ling An and walked away.

"Zhang Dashan's family? I want to go too." Hua Yaoling followed closely.

The Zhang family is the richest man. Nearly one-third of the land and more than half of the boats in Maple Leaf Town belong to his family. Many fishermen rely on his boats to go fishing. Take [-]% of the harvest.

It is difficult for fishermen to say that going to sea without a boat is like farming without cattle. If you do not pay [-]% of the rent, you will not even be able to guarantee food and clothing.

The small island on the opposite side is also owned by Zhang's family. They hold the sea route on that side, and there are special sea boats to intercept the passing ships. They collect "cross-sea money".

It is said that Zhang Dashan has already bought several other surrounding islands, and that sea route will be demarcated as his home, so that passing merchant ships will not be able to detour around it.

It’s just that the residents of those islands are unwilling to move, and one of the small islands belongs to a well-known and respectable family in the county. They agreed to sell the island but the asking price is quite high.

It is conceivable that such a calculating Zhang Dashan is so easy to "ask for advice"?

But Gu Buquan didn't believe in evil. As the saying goes, three cobblers are worth a Zhuge Liang. She, Sha Dan, and Hua Yaoling just made up three cobblers, and went to Zhang's mansion to ask for advice.
