Chapter 37

Gu Buquan was shocked and depressed at the same time.

It never occurred to him that the Liming Bank, which had been painstakingly investigated for many days, was actually connected to the coffin shop through a secret passage, and the exit was in his own backyard, and he didn't even know it.

What made her even more unexpected was that after a brief silence, the flower rattle let out a sharp cry.

"Okay, you coffin girl, you've been pretending to catch the thief for a long time, and it turns out that the thief is yourself."

The yelling woke up the people who were still in shock, and all of them showed suddenly enlightened expressions.

"We were all deceived. It turns out that the coffin shop is the real fortune-telling bank, and the owner of the coffin shop is this coffin girl who pretends to be a ghost!"

Wu Qi is the only virtuous and respected old man left in Maple Leaf Town. Seeing that he is getting old, he has thought about his fate. Fortunately, he is still hesitating and not taking action, otherwise he may die in a battle like Chen Qi. "Accident".

Now, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the more angry he became, he raised his crutch tremblingly and pointed it at Gu Buquan, almost poking her between the eyebrows, but Ling An brushed it away.

"Coffin girl, it's nothing more than making money in your name, why do you want to kill yourself?"

"Isn't that obvious? Only dead people can sell coffins. You can see that almost all the coffins in her family have been sold, and there are only a few left. The business is really booming."

Hua's words of ringing the bell aroused people's anger even more.

Someone picked up tools such as axes, plane knives, saws, and pokes, and stared at Gu Buquan. If Ling An hadn't been protecting her all the time, she might be bleeding from the head at this moment.

"It's not her, the cloaked man is not like her at all."

Facing the pressing crowd, Ling An took a step back, but still kept Gu Buquan behind him.

Gu Buquan didn't want to hide behind him, so he pushed him away.

But in the face of those people who were armed and about to commit murder, Ling An stubbornly stood in front of her and stretched out his arms to protect her. She couldn't push him away no matter what, so she poked her head out from under his arms and smiled at everyone. .

"Uncles, brothers, if your parents are born without brains, it's your fault. If your parents are born with brains but don't use them, then it's your fault."

"Bah! You coffin girl has such sharp teeth! I'm going to screw your brains out today! How dare you speak so rudely to us!" A "big brother" with a hammer said in a vicious voice.

Gu Buquan reached out and held down the hammer: "Be careful, be careful, this is my master's favorite hammer, don't let it break."

Then he smiled and said, "Think about it, everyone. If I were the owner of the bank and got so many house deeds and land deeds for nothing, why would I sell coffins? If it were you, big brother, wouldn't you still go fishing in the sea?"

"Big brother" was a little dazed holding the hammer.

"You were trying to deceive people." Hua rang the bell anxiously, feeling unhappy that her needlepoint was not pointing at the careless Maimang.

"Then, it's not just one person who has seen the cloaked man. I believe there are many of you who have bargained with him. May I ask, is his stature comparable to that of a little girl? And his foreign accent, is it the same as mine? "

"This……"

"Also, Zhang Dashan and the cloaked man are in the same group. Although he can't see the cloaked man's face clearly, he should know if the man is tall, short, fat, thin, and has a thick voice, right?"

Speaking of the tall, short, fat and thin figure of the cloaked man, Gu Buquan suddenly felt his heart skip a beat. This figure seemed familiar.

She shook her head, violently throwing out the flash of inspiration in her mind.

"This seems to make sense." Even Wu Qi felt that Gu Buquan's words were irrefutable, "But, how do you explain this secret way?"

"This, I really don't know, and I can't explain it." Gu Buquan shook his head in frustration, and the familiar figure appeared before his eyes again.

Ling An said: "Please give us time to look into this..."

"What kind of skill is it to hide behind the idiot and be a coward?" Hua Yaoling hates the idiot for everything, and she will not give up if she doesn't take the opportunity to kill her.

"Stupid, don't protect her anymore. Can't you see it? She is just guilty. Although she is not a cloaked person, she must be an accomplice. She is in the same group as Zhang Dashan."

"Gu Buquan, do you think you can get rid of the golden cicada's shell by being clever and throwing Zhang Dashan out to take the blame? Don't fool the big guys like idiots. Your innocent face is just deceiving idiots." , the big guy’s eyes are sharp. Everyone, don’t forget that she was the one who caused everyone to lose money by fetching water from the bamboo basket last time.”

Hua Yaoling's eloquence and cynicism towards Gu Buquan provoked the anger of those who were already dissatisfied with Gu Buquan, and the ax, planer, knife and saw pointed at Gu Buquan.

"It's either Gu Buquan or Gu Quan. Anyway, the coffin can't get rid of it."

Gu Buquan was silent for a long time, and when she heard people mentioning her master's name, she just woke up and said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "My master has passed away for half a year."

"So what? Isn't it just a trick for you to deceive people by pretending to be dead and resurrecting? Who knows if your master is really dead or fake? May I ask who has seen him die besides you? Who else has seen him?" He was buried?"

Gu Buquan became more and more silent.

Master's death is an eternal pain in her heart.

The master collapsed from heartache while planing the coffin boards in the backyard. Apart from her, no relatives came to offer condolence. up.

In the past, Master always told her that he would be buried on Beishan when he died, because that is the highest boundary of Maple Leaf Town, and you can see the coffin shop when buried there, which means that Master has been silently watching her and accompanying her, so that she will not feel alone.

During the six months since her master passed away, she often stood in front of the door and looked at Beishan, imagining how her master would teach her all kinds of tricks with a smile.

"Dead or not, don't you know if you dig it up and take a look?"

I don't know who said it, and countless people echoed it, and they were already holding an ax and other things and yelling all the way to Beishan.

"No, no, my master has indeed passed away for half a year, I buried him with my own hands, please don't bother him anymore, please."

Gu Buquan also tried to explain, but it was of no avail. He could only cry and run behind those people. When going up the mountain, he fell several times and rolled down the slope. His clothes were cut by thorns and his arms and legs were scratched.

"Incomplete." Ling An wanted to pull her up, but she pushed her away stubbornly, willing to roll and crawl but firmly refused to accept Ling An's kindness.

In front of the master's grave, Gu Buquan broke down in tears.

It wasn't until this time that Hua Yingling suddenly woke up. The matter was irreversible. Under her constant fanning, people's hatred for Gu Quan had reached its peak.

Regardless of the status of the deceased, digging up the grave is a great offense to the dead and a great humiliation to the living. Even if the other party is an unforgivable person, he still regards it as a safe death. This is why people in Maple Leaf Town do not don't know.

But a lonely and helpless woman in a coffin cannot be regarded as a human being in their eyes, so how can they respect her?They just needed an angry outlet, and Ben Beishan actually came here to pick up graves and whip corpses.

"I, I didn't do it on purpose. I didn't want them to dig your master's grave. Really, not completely. Don't hate me."

Gu Buquan silently raised his head and stared at the flower bell, his eyes did not hide his resentment towards her.

Hua Yaoling turned to Ling An again, "Silly, I didn't mean anything malicious, and I didn't expect this to happen. I just, just, don't want to see you always protecting her... Besides, if you didn't find out the secret passage, It's not like this..."

Ling An glanced at her, but didn't speak.

"Don't, idiot, don't look at me like that, I'm not a bad person, really."

In Hua Rattle's rambling explanation, Gu Quan's tombstone was quickly pushed down, and the tomb was pulled open, revealing the pitch-black coffin.

Ling An was expressionless, although he still kept his eyes on Gu Quan's coffin, although he still kept his eyes on Gu Quan's coffin, it could be seen that he also wanted to know Gu Quan's life and death very much, so as to confirm his inner guess.

"Master, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Gu Buquan knelt on the ground, murmured, raised his hand and slapped himself hard one after another.

She hated herself for being powerless, neither being able to prove his innocence for Master, nor having enough power to prevent people from digging Master's grave.

"No, don't do this." Ling An held her hand tightly, she choked up and struggled, but she could only watch the coffin nails being pulled out one by one, and the coffin boards being pried apart.

"Lift the coffin."

As Wu Qi's old and hoarse voice fell, the coffin lid was opened, and there was silence in the air. He even forgot to cry, and stared blankly at the empty coffin.

Where is Master?Master!
