I am born with insufficiency

Chapter 6 Strange Story of Maple Leaf Town ([-])
There are few foreigners in Maple Leaf Town, except for that strange cloaked man, who is also a fool picked up from the sea.

It's strange that the idiot came, and the cloaked man came strangely. I don't know if there is any connection between the two of them?
Gu Buquan turned his head and looked in the direction of the backyard, but he couldn't see the idiot, and his ears were drowned out by the sound of tambourines and bells and the sound of the buddies of the Maple Leaf class chanting scriptures.

"Imperfect girl, please put it in the old lady's coffin." The old lady chased after her with the fat girl.

Gu Buquan shook his head: "The master has passed down the rules, and those who die violently will not be restrained."

The old lady cried and begged: "Let the second master give you an extra one or two silver, will you?"

Gu Buquan immediately turned back: "Master also said that it is okay to add money."

All kinds of corpse collectors came up in a hurry, hey, I dare to say that she came prepared.

The old lady cried and scolded: "Old madam, old madam, you live a good life, what kind of life do you want to be like? Don't do business with Lord Hades if you are not hard enough. Look, you have lost even your capital now, right? "

Hearing the old woman beating her chest and beating her feet, and the little maid crying and crying, Gu Buquan felt a thump in his heart, and stopped again.

"Madam Lei cast her life? Where did she cast her?"

The old lady and the fat girl shook their heads together.

"That day the old lady went out at night and didn't let us follow her. When she came back, she slept outside the gate of the house. When the old lady woke up, she only said that she had cast her life and signed a life-and-death contract with Lord Yama. If an accident happened within seven to forty-nine days, Lord Yama would not care. "

"Is there really such a thing as casting one's life?"

There is a custom in Maple Leaf Town. If there are elderly or sick people at home, most of them will buy birthday materials in advance for emergencies. Every once in a while, they have to ask the coffin shop to apply a layer of clear oil to avoid insects. This is also the coffin. The shop has always depended on its livelihood.

However, in the past six months, few people have asked Gu Quan to go to the coffin to polish the oil. Except for selling one coffin every month, the business has almost been cut off.

"I thought that if I cast my life, I would be able to live a long life without using a coffin, but in the end, I still can't avoid sleeping in a coffin. Where will my old woman and fat girl beg for a living in the future?"

The old lady and the fat girl faced each other with frowning eyebrows, wondering if the second master "Rumble" would keep them.

Gu Buquan suddenly realized.

No wonder no one buys coffins these days and no one invites her to be varnished. It turns out that people are rushing to live a long life, which coincides with the recent rumors in the town about throwing their lives to save their lives.

Zhang Dashan's A Huan's resurrection from the dead really came from his life?

But she muttered more and more, since she took her life, she just hoped to live longer, and it was even more impossible for Mrs. Lei to commit suicide.

"These days, the knives and scissors have been collected, and the vines in the back garden have been shoveled, but the life is still gone." The old lady kept talking to herself.

Gu Buquan was shocked: "The vines were shoveled and hung on the branches to dry?"

"Well, dry it and cook on fire."

The fat girl covered her fingers and said, "There are many thorns, it pricks your hands, it's useless for Madam to scold me, she hung up the vines herself."

Gu Buquan ran back to the backyard, picked up the bloody shovel from under Hua Rattle's feet, and stared at the thorny vines for a while, still confused.

How could Mrs. Lei manage to get her head smashed by a shovel, and then climb into a vine hanging from a tree branch?

This is too incredible.

"Yo, it's not fun without a fight, isn't it?" Hua Yaoling was extremely jealous when she saw Gu Buquan, relying on Ling An by her side, she urged him to take action to teach Gu Buquan a lesson.

"Stupid, send her to the wall."

Ge Gen was also clamoring: "Yes, hang the eaves."

Ling An glanced at Gu Buquan, then at the courtyard wall and eaves, rubbed his hands, and didn't move.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

At the base of the courtyard wall, a large pot was lying on its stomach quietly.

Gu Buquan's eyes fell on the pot along with Ling An's. It is really strange to have a pot in the back garden for nothing.

"Haha, my fault."

Qi Liuhai rushed over excitedly, picked up the pot ear, and was overjoyed to find it back.

"Who said, why did your blame come to our Leifu? This is clearly our Leifu's blame."

"Bang Longlong" had just paid a foreigner 880 taels of silver for no reason, and was feeling annoyed in his heart. Seeing that Qi Liu Hai wanted to take his pot for nothing, he refused to take advantage of him no matter what.

"This is my pot." Qi Liuhai held the pot and did not let go.

"Who proves that this is your pot? This pot has your name written on it?"

"Boom" was about to grab the pot, and the pot flew out and then slammed down towards Qi Liuhai, Qi Liuhai hugged his head with an "ow".

Ling An swept across with his foot, and the pot flew over the courtyard wall.

In an instant, I heard a "bang dang dang" sound from the other side of the wall.

Ling An jumped up and jumped onto the courtyard wall.

On the east side of the wall is the back garden of Lei Mansion, and on the west side of the wall is the front yard of Maple Leaf Class, where the pot is lying.

He jumped down and said, "Two halves."

Returning with half of the pot, he looked at Mrs. Lei's forehead again.

"I see." Gu Buquan slapped his forehead suddenly, the bloody shovel and the thorny vines were just accidents, and the culprit was this mysterious cauldron.

If we get to the bottom of the pot, I'm afraid Qi Liuhai and the Maple Leaf class will be inseparable.

However, her voice was drowned out by the voices of Qi Liu Hai and others, and no one cared what she understood.

"Stupid, I feel more and more that you are my lucky general. From now on, you will be in my Maple Leaf class."

Qi Liuhai saw that this idiot was good at kung fu, and he could dance a master, so if he was kept, who would dare to trouble the Maple Leaf class in the future?

Hua Yaoling purposely turned to Gu Buquan's face, twisted her hips and phoenix eyebrows, with a provocative face: "Gu Buquan, listen carefully, he is my man."

"Your man, who is his name, and where did he come from? I picked up his life at the seaside. When did he become your rare treasure?"

Ling An was not affected at all, and muttered in a low voice in a daze to himself: "Damned, killed?"

"What pot kills?" Hua rattled him on the shoulder, "Hurry up, it's time for you to lead your soul on the road."

Ling An ignored the rattle and jumped over the wall again, and then the half pot flew over.

Throwing from left to right and kicking with legs, the two halves of the pot flew back and forth in the east and west courtyards, and everyone avoided and cursed.

"Crazy crazy."

But Ling An turned a deaf ear to it, just frowned and stared at the base of the wall where the pot had fallen, with a puzzled expression on his face.

"Stupid, do you wonder why the pot fell on the bottom of the wall?" Gu Buquan finally understood Ling An's meaning.

"En." Ling An nodded heavily, looking at Gu Buquan expectantly, as if she would have an answer immediately after opening her mouth.

"Don't look at me, I don't understand either."

Gu Buquan smiled, and pointed to the wall, "I think, unless someone deliberately tampered with it."

Immediately afterwards, she shook her head, "Oh no, if someone knocks the pot off the wall, no matter which direction the pot is facing, it is impossible for the pot to land at the bottom of the wall."

Her eyes fell on the chair that Mrs. Lei was sitting at that time, Ling An immediately ran over to check the chair, and sure enough there was a very obvious dent on the side of the chair seat, and there was a little pot ashes on it.

"So, the pot came towards Mrs. Lei. Mrs. Lei avoided it. The pot hit the chair and bounced off, landing at the base of the wall."

"It's a pity that Mrs. Lei avoided the pot but still did not escape death."

"So, she wasn't killed by a pot, right?"

Qi Liuhai came to his senses after listening to it for a long time, good guy, his family's pot killed someone, this crime is not a small one, and he can't admit it easily, "This pot may not belong to my family."

"Okay, okay, close neighbors are not as good as distant relatives. Let's be neighbors with Mrs. Lei anyway. No matter what you say, you have to work hard to lead the old lady's soul to the road. Stupid, don't hold the pot, requiem."

Ling An has somehow become the pillar of the Maple Leaf class. Although his dance is not satisfactory, what kind of tricks does a great dancer need?Who would have thought that the tall and burly idiot would be more graceful than a flower rattle when he dances like a big god, which is hilarious.

Hua rang the bell and rang the bell, Ge Gen and others chanted the Great Compassion Mantra, and the whole scene looked decent.

The price of Qi Liuhai has also risen, counting the silver happily, wishing that people would die in Maple Leaf Town every day.

Gu Buquan saw Ling An again, half a month later, at the banquet of the wedding at Master Taichang's house.

The bride is the second daughter of Li Zheng's family, named Tang Qiao'er.

Years ago, Qiaoer went to Mr. Taichang's house to deliver New Year's goods. Mr. Taichang fell in love with her immediately, and sent someone to deliver the gift to Lizheng's house the next day.

Lizheng knew what Master Taichang wanted, and he also wanted to cling to this marriage, the two hit it off immediately, and let Qiaoer marry after Master Taichang Ding You expired.

Just as the Empress Dowager's birthday was approaching, the Holy Majesty suddenly remembered that there used to be a Taichang Temple minister who was in charge of ceremonies and music with some skills, so he issued a special decree to return to Beijing to preside over the birthday affairs.

Master Taichang came to the door with double happiness, and while arranging the marriage, he also took care of returning to Beijing.

Master Taichang married Li Zheng's family, such a happy event is naturally the top priority in Maple Leaf Town, even the magistrate of the county came to congratulate him personally.

It is even more impossible for Qi Liuhai to miss this opportunity. Thinking that he might be able to leave Maple Leaf Town in the future and expand the business of Maple Leaf Class to the entire county by taking this opportunity, wouldn't the money keep flying towards him?

Apart from dancing masters, Ling An finally received a happy job for the first time, from Lizheng's house to Mr. Taichang's house, earning a double amount of happy money.

Naturally, Gu Buquan, the coffin girl, was not allowed to participate in such excitement.

Gu Buquan has nothing to do with such festive events as marriage, childbirth, full moon, birthday celebrations and so on.

When I was young, I would stop and peek from a distance, but when I grew up, I no longer had the slightest interest. In the words of the master, no matter how big the celebration is, isn't there only a coffin left in the end?People work hard all their lives, but it is only the difference between the thickness of the coffin and the thickness of the coffin.

Today, it was a ghostly messenger, she quietly followed the bride's wedding sedan chair, and climbed up the courtyard wall of the Zhu Mansion.

The courtyard wall is not high, and it is shaded by trees, just riding on the top of the wall to watch the excitement, Sun Xiaokong had a great time climbing the branches.

Seeing Ling An doing his best, the master laughed slowly, for a while, her heart was also warm, and she felt that her life should have such a kind of joy and joy.

Zhang Dashan, who has always lived on a small island to preserve his health, also brought his family's revived A Huan to the banquet, Gu Buquan deliberately took a few extra glances, that A Huan was alive and kicking, how could he seem to have died once?

Amidst the lively and joyful sound, the wedding sedan chair dropped off in front of the door, and a gust of sea breeze blew away the bride's red hijab.

At that moment, Gu Buquan on the wall saw tears in Qiao'er's eyes, and in the wide sleeves of the bright red wedding dress, there seemed to be something tightly held in her hand.

She looked from afar and saw that the bride's red hijab had been tightly held down by the bride beside her, but even through the red hijab, she could feel Qiaoer's sadness.

Qiao'er is about the same age as Gu Buquan, but Master Taichang is in his sixtieth year. An eighteen girl marrying an old man is like a phoenix falling from a dead tree and vine.

People in the town say that Qiaoer is willing to marry and enjoy the blessings of Master Taichang, and there is nothing wrong with exchanging youth for glory, but from Gu Buquan's point of view, it seems that this matter is not that simple.

Behind Xi's sedan chair was a staggering figure, which she recognized as Sixi, Qiao'er's uncle's cousin.

Sixi lives in the county town. She runs a rice shop at home. She is very humble. Every time she comes to the town, she will bring a lot of strange things to share with everyone. This includes Gu Buquan, who thinks he is a good person from the bottom of her heart. .

Qiao'er and Sixi's childhood sweethearts have a deep affection, and the two families also intend to become closer, so they exchanged eight-character cards early on to finalize the marriage.

However, how can adding more kisses compare to being relatives with Master Taichang?Even though Mr. Taichang is over sixty years old and has a wife and eight concubines in his house, anyway, Li is still considered Mr. Taichang's father-in-law, right?From now on, who would dare not look up at him?

"Qiao'er, your parents let you go to the capital with Mr. Taichang to enjoy the blessings, and they didn't harm you. Why are you so ignorant?"

"All the betrothal gifts made your brother lose all his money. If you don't marry, where will the money be returned to Master Taichang? Don't you want your father and mother's life?"

"It's fine if you don't marry, then let your cousin's family pay back the gift money."

The Lizheng couple and their elder brother Tang Wang took turns to fight, coaxing and deceiving Qiaoer and forcing him to die, Qiaoer would rather die than follow, the wedding sedan chair had arrived at the door, the firecrackers rang three times, and the sound of the drums pierced the ears, ye It is impossible to carry people away.

"Qiaoer, mother begs you." Qiaoer's mother cried and knelt down to Qiaoer, saying that life is the same everywhere?

"It's not the same as living with anyone, mother." Qiao'er could only cry and knelt down to her mother, begging her to let her go, her head was smashed, and neither mother nor son let the other go.

Tang Wang jumped up anxiously, scolding the girl for not knowing what to do, he simply picked her up from the ground and walked out the door.

And Qiaoer grabbed the door frame, and Tang Wang was about to break her fingers, but she refused to let go.

Li Zheng put down his harsh words in a hurry: "If you want to die, you have to enter the gate of the Zhu Mansion before you die, otherwise your father and I will have to pay for this old life. I want to see whether your cousin is more affectionate or not in your heart." Your parents' lives are heavy."

Qiaoerniang rushed into the kitchen and took out a kitchen knife, making a gesture to chop off her fingers.

"Come on, mother will cut off your fingers with you, and see who feels distressed."

"Mother." Qiao'er cried until the sky was dark.

At this point, Qiao'er said nothing, and got into the wedding sedan chair with tears in her eyes.

Lizheng was worried and asked Tang Wang to send Qiaoer to marry in person.

The fate of her daughter's family is already thin, who knows what kind of sorrows and joys are waiting for her in the future?
