I am born with insufficiency

Chapter 38

Gu Quan's coffin was empty.

But Gu Buquan clearly remembered that her master, who restrained herself, closed the coffin lid with her own hands, and the coffin nails were also nailed by her own hands.

All of that suddenly turned into a dream half a year ago.

She knelt by the grave, crying and laughing.

"Gu Quan used the plan of evading corpses to cover up the sky and cross the sea, set up a scam of life-saving banks, murdered people, and made a fortune. Gu Quan's accomplice should be dealt with according to the clan rules of Fengye Town."

The ancestral rules of Maple Leaf Town are actually a lynching, and they want to take Gu Buquan back to be dealt with together with Mr. Zhang Dashan.

"Who dares to touch her!" Ling An lifted up the coffin board and swept across it, everyone avoided it in fear.

"Stupid, don't be stupid, she is Gu Quan's apprentice, according to our Fengye town's clan rules, she should sink into the sea."

Ling An scraped the coffin boards towards the person who spoke, knocking down several together.

"Old Wu Qi, let me ask you, is Zhang Dashan a native of Maple Leaf Town?"

Old Wu Qi didn't know what Ling'an asked, so he nodded in agreement.

"I'm not from Maple Leaf Town, so I don't understand your clan rules. However, people say that one side of water and soil and one side of people, it's not that one family doesn't come into one family, and Maple Leaf Town was not born in a year or two. Three thousand eight hundred years ago, the original It's just a family, who here dares to say that your ancestors are not related to Zhang Dashan's family?"

Ling An was breathless, and the coffin planks in his hands were not loose, which stunned the people present. Hua Yaoling even stared at him with a pair of phoenix eyes. In order to take care of everything, how could it be tiring to talk so much?

"This...that's a bit preposterous." Wu Qi said embarrassingly.

"It's my reason to win the truth." Ling An was full of arrogance, "I don't care what your Fengye Town clan rules are, if the master commits a crime and the apprentice pays for the crime, then every one of you in Maple Leaf Town is of the same clan as Zhang Dashan Tongzu, the entire Maple Leaf Town will sink into the sea!"

"Do you think Gu Quan is just her master? No, he is not her master, but his own father and daughter." Elder Wu Qi sneered, leaning his crutch against the coffin board in Ling An's hand.

He pointed at Gu Buquan and said, "Your master told you that he picked you up from the door of the coffin shop 18 years ago, right?"

Gu Buquan nodded, for her, this is an undoubted fact, the master picked her up from the door of the coffin shop and raised her, the master has told her many times in the past.

Elder Wu Qi shook his head: "Wrong. He didn't pick you up, but when Gu Quan was injured all over his body, he hugged you and fell in front of the door of the coffin shop, and was rescued by the old Caitou of the coffin shop. Mr. Cai bought the coffin shop in his hands and has been running it until now. Everyone in the town knows about this matter. It’s just that no one cares about the coffin shop where master and apprentice return father and daughter. As for you Where it came from is unknown."

Ling An put down the coffin board and asked, "Then he speaks Sichuan accent?"

Elder Wu Qi pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "I can't tell you what the accent is, I just think, um..."

He looked at Ling An, "It's a bit similar to the idiot's accent. It's just that he gradually changed to be the same as the people in Maple Leaf Town. As for Gu Buquan, those who grew up in Maple Leaf Town naturally have the accent of Maple Leaf Town."

Ling An was startled, Gu Quan's accent was similar to his, so did they come from the same place?This means that following the clue of Gu Quan, it is very possible to find out his origin.

"In my opinion, report to the officer."

Ling An laid the coffin horizontally, "Let the government decide what to do, and let the law measure it. If the government finds out that there is injustice, it will order that the owner of the bank is someone else, and you have used lynching and beheaded everyone." .”

Regardless of the laws in the future, whoever has the biggest fist has the final say right now, and the word "decapitation" is sonorous and powerful, and everyone is stunned.

Ling An's reason for insisting on reporting to the official is very simple. Gu Quan has disappeared without a trace. Whether he has anything to do with Liming Qianzhuang remains to be found out. Gu Buquan cannot be hastily arrested first.

This is just Ling An's expedient measure, at least, it can avoid Gu Buquan being lynched in Maple Leaf Town, Wu Qilao and others have nothing to say.

And the government can't do anything to Gu Buquan before they catch Gu Quan.

Since the county magistrate Lu is dead and the new county magistrate has not yet arrived, the county magistrate is temporarily in charge of the county magistrate.

The county magistrate didn't want to be troublesome at first, but because Liming Bank involved huge assets and many lives, Zhang Dashan was quickly put in prison, and all his property and property were confiscated, including those surrounding small islands. All owned by the government.

Zhang Dashan can be said to be a chicken-and-egg fight, and he wants to cry but has no tears.

The sea arrest documents for Gu Quan's wanted arrest were also quickly sent to various state capitals, and those who were interested even posted notices on the door panels of the coffin shop.

"I only know that he is my master."

Gu Buquan had nothing else to say except this sentence, he still got up in the morning to move the coffin boards out, put them away in the evening, slept in the coffin in the backyard when he was sleepy, and ate a couple of wild fruits picked by Sun Xiaokong when he was hungry.

In fact, she also had doubts about the cloaked man, but it was only because his Sichuan accent dispelled her doubts. Now that I think about it, his stature is almost the same as that of her master.

When she was young, Master told her anecdotes about the world and learned dialects from various places to make her laugh. How could she forget?It is the master's unique skill to learn what looks like what, and it is not difficult for the master to pretend to be a Sichuan accent.

Now she doesn't know if she should hope that the government will catch Master, she doesn't want to ask Master about Liming Qianzhuang, she just wants to ask him if she is his daughter?Where is she from?

It's a daughter, why is it called master and apprentice?If not, the master really treats her like a father and daughter.

After half a month of turmoil, Maple Leaf Town gradually calmed down. The sun rises and the moon sets on the sea, and the day and night change. Everyone's life will continue as before, and Gu Buquan will be the same.

She began to gather wood and imitated her master to plan the coffin boards, and sometimes knocked and hammered the nails. In the future, she will build the coffins by herself.

No matter how much people in Maple Leaf Town hated Gu Buquan, they still had to come to their door when they needed a coffin, and she would never miss a copper coin.

She made up her mind and left Maple Leaf Town when she had saved enough money.

Another muddy day passed, and Gu Buquan brushed the dust off the coffin boards outside the door with a feather duster without thinking, and then moved in with difficulty.

Ling An rushed in hurriedly.

In the past half month, he didn't come to look for Gu Buquan, but searched inside and outside Maple Leaf Town, and even searched in several nearby counties, but he didn't find Black and White Wuchang, and there was no trace of the cloaked man or Gu Quan.

"I'll help you."

"Need not."

Gu Buquan angrily slapped Ling An's outstretched hand away. With this slap, the coffin board couldn't hold it anymore, and it tilted upside down towards her. In desperation, he could only kick with his feet and hit the ground with a bang.

"I'm sorry." He smiled foolishly, as long as she wasn't hurt.

His smile completely annoyed Gu Buquan.

"It's all your fault, it's all your fault." She picked up a feather duster and gave Ling An a slap in the face. The coffin nails were broken, and the half-nailed board fell to the ground without caring.

"Yes, it's all my fault." Ling An did not argue.

She wanted to scold him, it was enough to use eel blood to find the cellar, why did she continue to find the secret path, so that the situation got out of hand.

But seeing Ling An's attitude of being willing to be beaten or punished, she shut her mouth.

She understood that he didn't mean anything malicious, but she couldn't bear it in her heart. The key point was that all the grievances in her heart needed to be vented, and only he could be her punching bag.

Ling An didn't dodge, let the feather duster fall on him frequently, but in front of his eyes were pink petals fluttering, and Zhu Rong's mask, this time was very close to him, so close that he could almost see the eyes behind the mask clearly.

"It's your fault." Gu Buquan's voice woke him up again, and he found that the nails on the coffin fell on the ground, and she was so focused on beating people that she didn't pay attention to her feet.

"Be careful." Seeing that she was about to step on the coffin nails, he didn't care too much, and rushed towards her and lifted her feet.

It's so good that I can't die, but at this time, Hua Yingling bumped into it.

Because she came from outside the door, she happened to knock Gu Buquan and Ling An away together, and the back of Gu Buquan's head went straight to the tip of a coffin next to her.

In desperation, Ling An could only scoop up Gu Buquan with a gesture of fishing for the moon in the sea, and made her a backing board with his own body. As a result, the back of his head hit the coffin tip, and he lost consciousness immediately.

There was silence in the coffin shop.

"died?"

After a long time, Hua rang the bell and asked.

"Dead." Gu Buquan's voice was dry and weak, "You killed him with a head bump."

"Idiot is really dead?" Hua Yaoling was startled, "No no, Gu Buquan, you won't play me again, will you?"

"Idiot is not an idiot now. He is the hero who cracked the Liming Qianzhuang case and the hero who saved Maple Leaf Town. Hua Yingling, you committed the crime of intentional homicide, wait for Shen Hai or beheaded."

Hua Yaoling cried out loudly, "No, no, why am I so unlucky."

While crying, he took out a piece of cloth from his underclothes, "I went to the cloth shop and asked, he was wearing brocade when he came here, I still hope he will remember something, and enjoy happiness with him in the future."

Suddenly, she stopped crying and looked at Gu Buquan: "No, who saw me kill him? He died in your coffin shop, it has nothing to do with me rattle the bell, you can figure it out."

"Didn't you say he was picked up by you?"

"It's yours." Hua Rattle threw the brocade towards Gu Buquan's face, and walked away.

"So it's mine?"

Gu Buquan looked at Ling An who was lying upright on the ground, feeling helpless and did not dare to say anything, after all, she died in her coffin shop, Hua Rattle left, and now she is the thorn in the eyes of the whole town.

A hundred people can't argue.

She looked around the coffin shop, there were no good coffins left, so she could only put Ling Ansheng into the coffin that killed him just now.

"It hit you to death, and you broke it. Now that you're sleeping in this coffin, it's the end of both worlds, right? It's just that I've wronged you a bit."

His origin was unknown, he was alone, and he had no relatives around him when he died, how similar to his own situation.

Thinking about how Ling An has cared for him these past few days, and the connection of minds that appeared at that time, he feels even more sad in his heart.

"Hua Yaoling said that you were wearing brocade when you came here. I think you are also from a wealthy family. I can't be too wronged. I will give you this jade pendant. Don't dislike it. This is the only good thing on me."

The jade pendant was crescent-shaped, and she had been wearing it close to her body since she could remember, and it was her kindness to give it to Ling An to "press her mouth".

The poor press silver, and the rich press jade.Since the idiot might come from a noble family, Gu Buquan felt that it would not be considered as burying him with his words of jade. After all, he had saved her several times before.

"By the way, there is another good thing." She suddenly remembered the silver medal, "This is yours, and I will return it to you too, lest your first seven souls come to me for it."

"cough……"

Just as she was stuffing the silver medal into Ling An's arms, she shuddered when she heard a cough, and saw that Ling An opened his eyes and met hers.

"Idiot, my idiot." She hugged him and couldn't help crying.
