I am born with insufficiency

Chapter 87

"It's dry, be careful with candles."

This is the only commonality between the bustling Qingzhou Mansion and the distant Maple Leaf Town.

She and Hua Rattle were relatively silent, silently guarding the unconscious person on the bed.

That day, Ling An was in a coma after receiving a sharp slap from the owner of Qian Zhuang.

The 50 taels of silver that I just got from my little Eunuch Gao was used to extend the doctor's medicine. There was not much left, Hua Rattle held the empty silver bag and sighed.

"I thought I could earn a few taels of money from him, but I didn't want to take it all in. I can't take care of it. You are willing to buy a small piece of Ganoderma lucidum for ten taels, and a half root of ginseng for 15 taels. I dare not spend your own money. Now Tell me, what else can you do to bring the idiot back to life?"

"Gu Buquan, you are a villain."

Although Hua rattled the bell and scolded endlessly, Gu Buquan remained silent, watching the sleeping Ling An quietly.

If he hadn't blocked that fatal palm for her, she would have been mourning long ago.

The shopkeeper barged in, but he couldn't see the abacus that he usually kept in his hands, but there were a few more strong men behind him, and he wanted to carry Ling An to the firewood room without saying a word.

"Black-hearted store, isn't it because you are afraid that people will die in your store?" Hua rattled and stood up with her hands on her hips, cursing.

The shopkeeper sneered: "That's right. These days, I recognize the people who eat and live for nothing these days, but they died in the house. How can I open a shop and make a living in the future? Let's put the firewood room for one night to think about the difficulties of the few people. gone."

Then he said to Gu Buquan: "A word of advice to the girl, if you still have some money in hand, go and buy a coffin as soon as possible, don't waste it all."

"Don't touch him." Gu Buquan said to those strong men with a dark face.

The voice is not loud, but every word is sonorous and powerful.

She straightened her clothes, took a deep breath, put Ling An on her back, and Hua Rattle was stunned.

"Don't stand still, give me a hand."

"Uh, oh." Hearing Gu Buquan's trembling panting, Hua rattled the bell to wake up.

At this time, all the guests in the inn gathered around, watching the petite and exquisite Gu Buquan carrying the tall and burly Ling An on his back, moving forward step by step with difficulty, Sun Xiaokong was so anxious that he jumped up and down scratching his ears and cheeks.

When going downstairs, his legs felt weak, Gu Buquan gritted his teeth and tried his best to support the handrail, so he didn't roll down the stairs together with Ling An.

"Why do you do this? The idiot is just a big fool, not a noble person like a prince. A few rough men carried him to the woodshed to blow their breath."

Hua Rattle was supporting her all the way, but her mouth was chattering endlessly.

Gu Buquan finally carried Ling An back to the firewood room and settled down, then he took a breath and fixed his eyes on the flower rattle.

"His life is hanging by a thread. What if those rough hands and feet hurt him? I don't care who the idiot is. Whether a person is noble or not depends on his clothes, but on his heart. You don't matter if you want to take care of him. If you don't want to help, just go aside and keep your mouth shut."

Hua Rattle walked to the side angrily, muttering: "Who can see the heart? I only look at the clothes."

Suddenly remembered the piece of cloth torn from Ling An's body, could it be that he is really a noble person?What secret is Gu Buquan keeping from me?
Even if it's a noble person, what's the use if he's about to die?

"Girl." A kind mother-in-law who lives in the shop brought some water and told Gu Buquan, "I heard that there is a Shangshutang in the capital, and the doctor Yu who sits in the hall has superb medical skills and is extremely generous. He won't take any money. Miss, why don't you go to the capital to try, maybe this little brother can still be saved?"

After the mother-in-law finished speaking, she sighed and shook her head and left, Gu Buquan still standing, looking thoughtful.

Hua Yaoling saw the opportunity, and tiptoed to escape, she didn't want to stay in the woodshed for the night.

"Stop." Gu Buquan roared, Hua Yaoling trembled and stopped.

"You are guarding the idiot here, and I will come when I go."

Hua Yingling asked, "Daheitian, where are you going?"

"The coffin shop." Gu Buquan weighed the remaining dozens of copper plates.

"What, you really went to the idiot to buy a coffin? He, he hasn't died yet."

Gu Buquan had already rushed out of the firewood room before Hua's exclamation of ringing the bell fell to the ground.

The flower rattle either left or stayed, but in the end he sighed and stomped his feet to stay.

The night wind whizzed and rattled the roof of the firewood house, and Hua Rattle curled up to guard Ling'an, who was dying. The more she thought about it, the more afraid she became, and the more she thought about it, the more unwilling she became.

"Gu Buquan didn't lie to me, did he? Leave me here to guard a dying person, and go back to the house to sleep. Hmph, I'm leaving too."

She looked at the ignorant Ling An and said: "Stupid, don't blame me, don't remember me when you go there, if you want to remember, remember to take care of it, she left you alone. You did a ghost Let's go find her, anyway, she sells coffins, is related to Black and White Wuchang, and is not afraid of ghosts."

Seeing Sun Xiaokong at a glance and beckoning towards it, Sun Xiaokong immediately clutched his careless burden vigilantly and jumped aside.

"Hey." Hua Yaoling snorted, "Who cares."

Stepping out of the woodshed, Kankan bumped into Gu Buquan.

There was a cart parked in front of the door.

"The cart for transporting the coffin is the strongest." Gu Buquan said.

Hua Rattle was dumbfounded, the cart looked very strong indeed, I don't know what trick Gu Buquan used to snatch it from the coffin shop?
"Uh, what, what's the use of a cart? It's not even covered when it's used as a coffin for a fool."

"What kind of coffin? Go to Shangshutang in the capital." Gu Buquan gave Hua Hua a ringing look, "Don't be dazed, help me."

Hua Yaoling was stupefied, good guy, a cart dragged the idiot to the capital?
"That's right, walking overnight. I've inquired about it. There is a trail to the capital that takes at most two days. The sooner you arrive at Shangshutang, the greater the chance of the idiot's survival. You can walk as you please, but think clearly, the oiran's In the ending, not only Mrs. Yi, but also Luo Kui and Zhi Chun."

Hua rattles the bell to change her face and almost loses her life. She also owes Mama Liu a large sum of silver. She has to pay off the debt for attracting guests to Fumeiyuan, and the days after that will be hard to say.

If you don't go now, when will you wait?
Hua Yaoling curled her lips, and helped Gu Buquan carefully move Ling An to the cart.

Gu Buquan was pulling the cart in front, Hua Rattle was pushing behind, and Sun Xiaokong bounced back and forth, trudging forward with difficulty.

Qingzhou Mansion is not far from the capital, three days on the official road and two days on the trail.

But Gu Buquan still underestimated the difficulty of the trail, especially when pulling the cart uphill.

Because the strength of the rattle is not enough to resist the cart, it is inevitable that the people on the cart will slide down.

"Let's take the official road. If you insist on following the small road, if you don't go to the village and go to the shop, it won't be much faster." Hua Yaoling complained.

Gu Buquan didn't speak, gritted his teeth and knelt down, pulled up the cart and moved forward knee by knee.

This is the only way to keep your balance on your knees.

Hua Yaoling asked: "Gu Buquan, what are you planning?"

Gu Buquan thought for a while before answering: "He owes me the jade pendant and has to make three hundred coffins for me. If he dies, who do I ask for compensation?"

"Isn't it two hundred?"

Gu Buquan snorted coldly: "Add interest."

Hua Yaoling was tongue-tied, looking at Gu Buquan's back as he walked on his knees, unable to decide for a moment, did she really only want the coffin book, or did she have other ideas about the idiot?

It just so happened that the weather was not beautiful, the fine weather suddenly began to drizzle, and the uphill road became more and more difficult, but the knees had already been worn out, and blood oozed out.

The slope was not too long, but after going up the slope, there was a cliff-like downhill road. The cart rolled straight down, and was strangled by the rope, and was out of breath.

Just in front of him was a man wearing a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat, walking hurriedly. He hesitated for a moment, but turned around to help stop the cart, saving Gu Buquan's life.

Without waiting to thank him, the man left without saying a word, leaving only his back in the rain and fog.

"It turns out that this place is called Luoyanpo, no wonder it's so difficult, a goose has to lose two hairs when flying over it." Gu Buquan looked at the stone tablet by the roadside, stroking his neck that was almost strangled, feeling lingering fear.

"Fortunately, I met a kind-hearted person."

"Good guy? What are you doing with the bamboo hat so low? I'm afraid people will see that it's either adultery or robbery." Hua Yaoling curled her lips, then pointed at the bottom of the slope and shouted, "Look, there's someone here."

It was a small farmyard with a thatched roof, chickens in the fence, dogs tied in the front yard, and firewood stacked in the backyard.

It seems to be a family passing by.

But Gu Buquan smelled something wrong.

"It should be time for the farmers to cook, why is there no cooking smoke?"

Hua Rattle didn't care so much, and ran over excitedly, calling a few times but no one answered, and the dog barked at her.

The dog was on a leash, and Hua Rattle boldly pushed open the fence gate.

As soon as she raised her feet, a bloody man pounced in front of her, stretched out a bloody hand and grabbed her ankle.

"what--"
