I am born with insufficiency

Chapter 41

Since Gu Bu was still carrying the reasons for the Liming Qianzhuang case, she had to wait for the government to catch her master before she was tried together with her.

Therefore, she thought day and night to find a chance to escape from Maple Leaf Town and go to the capital.

With his ruthless exploitation of idiots and his ruthless drive to raise prices on the ground, it is not too difficult to save enough money to go to Beijing.

When the money is saved enough, the opportunity has come.

But she thought for a long time, the idiot can't leave, he has to stay in the coffin shop to hold back the people queuing up to buy coffins for her, otherwise she won't be able to run far.

"Stupid, I'm going to the capital."

She put a piece of silver in Ling An's palm, patted him on the shoulder, and told him, "I will leave the coffin shop to you. With your ability, you can definitely make the coffin shop bigger and stronger."

To make the coffin bigger and stronger is also Master's final request.

"En." Ling An looked at the silver in his hand and nodded.

"Don't blame me for not taking you. You really can't think of anything. It's useless to follow me, right?"

"Ah."

"Good boy." She looked at Ling An, and for some reason there was a trace of sadness in her heart, she turned her head cruelly, and stepped out of the coffin shop door without hesitation.

"Stupid, remember to move out the best coffin board every day, that's the signboard of our coffin shop."

"Yeah." The idiot agreed.

She also ordered worriedly: "Remember to move back, so as not to be exposed to the sun and rain and lose money."

"En." The idiot still only answered one word and nodded.

She sighed, as if she didn't have anything to say, so she gritted her teeth and walked away again "without hesitation".

"Stupid." She called out after walking more than ten steps, and the fool followed behind, and Sun Xiaokong squatted on his shoulder obediently, seeming to be inseparable from him.

"You go back, don't give it away, lest the townspeople see it. Sun Xiaokong, let's go."

She said, and walked a dozen steps, but the idiot still followed, she walked and he walked, she stopped and he stopped, and advised him to scold him and kick him, but he always only answered one word: "Yeah."

When she got to the pier, she finally couldn't hold it anymore and said, "Fool, send you off for thousands of miles, and you have to say goodbye at the end, just..."

Before he finished speaking, the idiot had already untied the cable of the boat silently, jumped on the boat and stretched out a hand to her.

She suddenly felt that the big callused palm was very kind, and when he carefully led her into the boat, it made her feel a little throbbing in her heart.

It was a feeling she had never had before, a little bit shy, a little bit joyful, and a little bit sweet, like the sweet-scented osmanthus water her master made for her during the Chinese New Year.

She smiled, and he also grinned and smiled at her.

The sky is bright, the wind is light, the sea is blue, everything is so beautiful, the world is so peaceful that you can hear your own heartbeat.

A delicate voice: "Wait for me", broke the dream at this moment.

Hua Rattle is carrying a flower-and-butterfly-like skirt, carrying the burden of a long trip on her shoulders, and running over the sand, panting.

Gu Buquan pulled back abruptly, and Ling An's smile froze on his face.

"Hua rang the bell, what are you doing here?" Gu Buquan asked angrily.

"Let's go to the capital together." Hua Yaoling replied while running.

Gu Buquan became angry when he heard it: "With whom? I didn't invite you."

Hua Yaoling ran to him, said with a smile, "Don't worry, I didn't accept your invitation either. I'm going to the capital with the idiot, it has nothing to do with you."

As he said that, he stretched out a slender hand in front of Ling An, "Stupid, what are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and pull me into the boat."

But the eyes glanced at Gu Buquan provocatively.

Ling An looked at this and then at that, in a dilemma.

Who is Gu Buquan?That is the spirit of the master who has been training for 18 years and never wants to suffer. At this time, she was not in a hurry or annoyed, with a smile on her face.

"It's better not to go with me. Anyway, my boat is small, and I can transport coffins but not bad people."

After saying that, he kicked Ling An off the boat with a "boom", picked up the oars and rowed two feet away in one breath.

This is a ship for transporting coffins and timber, built by Master's own hands, it is very strong, row along the inland sea and find a random pier to dock, and it will be her sea and sky in the future.

However, this distance was not difficult for Ling An at all, he lifted his breath and lightly touched the water surface, jumped onto the boat, and stood firmly.

But Hua Yaoling is also a person who will not give up until he achieves his goal, and he does not hesitate to wade into the sea to chase the boat.

Seeing the flower rattles wading deeper and deeper, Gu Buquan couldn't bear it to the end, and called out "idiot", but saw that he had already jumped into the water to save Hua rattles.

If she rowed the boat away quickly, it would be irrelevant from now on, but by some coincidence, she rowed the boat back and asked Ling An to drag the flower rattle onto the boat.

Seeing Ling An hurriedly hugging Hua Rattle, Sun Xiaokong squeaking and whirling around the two of them, and Hua Rattle smiling brightly at her quietly in Ling An's arms, it was as if he had swallowed it without hesitation. Regret like a live fly.

Temporarily soft-hearted, regret for life.

That night Hua rang the bell and fell ill, had a high fever, talked nonsense, and still held Ling An's hand tightly.

Gu Buquan had to ring the bell to seek medical advice and buy medicines for Hua. He had just left the county and had already spent more than half of his money before arriving at the state capital.

Holding the increasingly deflated silver bag, Gu Buquan's heart was bleeding, but he couldn't leave the flowers and rattles alone, so he could only say the most cruel words and do the most soft-hearted things.

Fortunately, apart from Hua Rattle's sickness costing some silver taels, the journey was smooth and smooth, and there were no strong winds or waves.

In a few days, they left Funing Prefecture and came to Fuzhou City. They had to go into the city to buy some food and water, and then continue sailing.

"Fuzhou City." Gu Buquan looked at the city gate, "I heard that the fish balls here are delicious, let's try it first when we enter the city."

"Is there anything delicious about fish balls? It's not that we don't have any in Maple Leaf Town. I've heard that the best thing in Fuzhou City is rouge gouache. I've been sick for the past few days and have lost weight. I need to buy some good powder to dress up."

As soon as Hua rattle recovered from her illness, she began to twitch again, not caring at all that all the food she had spent on the journey was insufficient money, and she kept her own money bag tightly covered and never took it out.

Just as he was about to enter the city, he saw a funeral procession approaching from the city, and pedestrians gave way one after another.

The strange thing is that this team is all women in plain clothes.

Those who beat the banners, those who throw paper money, and those who play the suona and dance are all women.

Even the coffins were carried by four women in plain clothes.

Except for the sound of the suona, it was quiet, there was no cry, every woman was expressionless, moving forward like a wooden carving, towards the outside of the city.

These women were tall, short, fat and thin, and they looked average, but the woman holding the banner was outstanding, especially against the plain clothes, she looked beautiful and graceful, attracting passers-by to stop and watch.

"That's weird, aren't there any men in Fuzhou City?" Hua Yaoling couldn't help but wonder.

"This girl can't speak anymore." A passer-by immediately scolded, "This is a woman from Diemeng Village. She came to Fuzhou City a year ago and only took care of funerals for young female deceased. The business is pretty good."

"The funeral ceremony is all handled by women, so what's the matter with men?"

Gu Buquan also has this question, but in every state and city, the funeral ceremonies are all controlled by the "leader". If outsiders want to get a piece of the pie, they have to break their heads, not to mention that they are women, and they are capable of robbing others. land?
If this is the case, Gu Buquan can't help being awed, maybe it's an expedient measure for them to accept only women's funerals?
"Or it's because men in the city are too lazy to do anything?" Hua Yaoling still looked puzzled.

"No, no." A scholar shook his head and said, "Young lady's words are wrong."
