I am born with insufficiency

Chapter 73 The Miraculous Face Changing Technique ([-])
Sitting next to Ling An, Gu Buquan watched him suffer from headache for half the night, and finally fell asleep in the second half of the night, feeling a dull pain in his heart.

She rested her chin and thought about the dawn, and finally figured it out.

Regardless of whether Ling An is a good person or a bad person, what she faces is just a fool, and a fool is a good person.

She couldn't just watch the idiot being tortured to death like this.

The shopkeeper was outside the door again, holding an abacus in his hand and fiddled with it vigorously, making a crackling sound.

Because Hua Yingling ran away, the store wouldn't allow her to live in that room, so she could only share one with Ling An.

"I'm also doing it for your own good. Anyway, you and him don't separate each other. Living in the same room saves money and is convenient, doesn't it?"

The shopkeeper's malicious eyes lingered on her face.

Gu Buquan was aggrieved but helpless, she couldn't afford even one room.

Now, she has to find a way to get the store to get them something to eat first.

"I said, girl, this is really a business of opening a shop to collect money. I'm not setting up temples for charity. I don't have money and want to eat? Don't daydream. Don't give money, take the sick child in the house to sleep on the street as soon as possible."

It's really difficult for a penny to be a hero, so Gu Buquan could only swallow his anger and beg, and the shopkeeper agreed to allow another day. Just like that, he grabbed Ling An and put away all the quilts on the bed, leaving an empty space. bed board.

"Wait a minute." Gu Buquan suddenly stopped the shopkeeper, "I have to count how many pieces the bed boards have. One, two, three... six pieces."

Ling An responded, "Even numbers, coffin boards."

Gu Buquan nodded in satisfaction and turned to the store.

"This is your fault, the store. Are you treating all the people who live in the store as dead people? The living people sleep in an odd number, and the dead sleep in an even number. This is the rule. If you don't believe me, you can go to any one in Qingzhou City. Ask about the coffin shop?"

The store owner panicked, how could the owner of the inn not know the rules?It's just that when I was making bed boards, I secretly subtracted a board to save money. I wondered who would be bored to lift the mattress and count the boards in the hotel?
Unexpectedly, many years after the inn was opened, even he himself forgot about this, and actually revealed the secret with his own hands, and happened to meet a knowledgeable person again.

"Shall I ask all the guests to take off the mattresses and count the boards?" Gu Buquan looked at the store with his head tilted.

"I'll call." Ling An's eyes were determined, and he already made the gesture of calling all the guests to get up and count the bed boards.

One singing and one harmonizing, the cooperation is quite tacit.

Gu Buquan yelled loudly again, does this kill the shopkeeper?
"No, no, no, we have something to discuss."

The shopkeeper put the quilts back, and promised to let them stay for a few more days, and to provide them with meals every day, so he nodded his head, as if reluctantly.

On the contrary, the shopkeeper expressed his gratitude with tears in his eyes.

Although this move is a bit despicable, but in a difficult situation, this is the only way to do it. Who let the shop owner lose his conscience?

Everyone has a day to sleep on a coffin board, sooner or later.

The shop waiter will deliver it to the door early, muttering in his mouth: "People say that you have a good-looking face and can be exchanged for big pancakes. They are talking about you, girl."

Gu Buquan smiled: "Wrong. It's a smart head that can be exchanged for big pancakes."

She suddenly stopped, and change pancakes?

The faces of the women in the embroidery shop came into view.

A face can be exchanged for the wealth of a family, can it be exchanged for a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum?
Gu Buquan's eyes rolled around again.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day when the Damei Luofu Pills were on sale. There was a huge crowd of people in front of Luofuyanzhuang, and the owner Qian Yunlai personally presented the first box of this month, and gave it to the woman who ranked first, which attracted cheers.

Gu Buquan stopped and watched for a long time, finally gritted his teeth, turned around and walked into the embroidery shop.

The embroidery shop was still deserted, and the embroidery hanging on the shop surface had accumulated a little more dust.

If Gu Buquan hadn't been here before and knew there was something hidden in it, it would be hard for her to believe that such a lifeless shop could survive for a long time and insist on opening the door every day.

It's not like the only coffin shop in Maple Leaf Town has no business.

The third sister and the "three aunts" were still sitting in the back room chatting.

Seeing Gu Buquan, the three girls all stood up with a "huh", as if they were facing a formidable enemy, but the third sister was the only one who sat and knocked melon seeds calmly.

"What are you doing again?"

Third Sister took a special look outside the door, but there was no Zi Yi, nor Ling An.

"Change face." Gu Buquan replied.

"No change. Last time your young lady's ghostly appearance scared us out of our wits. No matter how much money we give our owner, we can't change that look. It's not Da Luo Immortal."

The three girls pointed at Gu Buquan with different faces and noses and scolded Gu Buquan.

"Hey, it's obvious that you scared my lady out of her wits, and you haven't recovered from it until now. Besides, if my lady is good-looking, why would she change her face?"

"Is your young lady still alive?" Third Sister asked suddenly.

Gu Buquan immediately became vigilant: "Of course she is alive and well, otherwise what do you think will happen to her?"

The third sister frowned, and the three girls rushed up to ridicule each other.

"I didn't think much of it, I just thought it was not easy for her to survive like that."

"Looking like her, she should stay at home. It's not right to come out and scare people."

Gu Buquan smiled, ignored the three girls, and bowed to the third sister.

"I'm going to ask my third sister today, I want to change my face, how can I go about it? How can I meet the owner of Qian Zhuang?"

The third sister also put on a smiling face and replied: "If you want to change your face, girl, it's easy to say. How to do it, I have already said it last time, pay the deposit, sign the paperwork, first review, re-examination, pay the balance, change the face , everyone is happy."

"Everyone is happy, so how much is the deposit, Sangu?"

"1000 taels."

Third Sister stared at Gu Buquan's silver bag, but she didn't know that the bag was already empty.

But Gu Buquan turned his eyes to the three girls until they nodded, confirming that the 1000 taels that the third sister said were correct.

"Okay. Then ask Sanmei to draft the document, and I will sign it." Gu Buquan said.

The third sister didn't show any emotion on her face, but she had already burst into laughter in her heart.

Recently, the face-changing business has become much quieter. It has been more than a month since I received a single transaction, and I have lost a lot of money. The third sister is very anxious.

The last time I lost a big deal because I was panicked by Zi Yi's face, I still regret it.

Unexpectedly, this big business came to the door by itself again.

On the surface, the third sister pretended to be indifferent to Gu Buquan, but secretly made up her mind that this time she must earn a lot of money from her.

There is no pen, ink, paper and inkstone, only ready-made documents, with two empty lines and two parties standing.

"This is an exemption document. The person who makes the certificate must promise not to take off the mask, look in the mirror and not speak within three months. Otherwise, all consequences will be at your own risk, and Yan Zhuang will be exempted from liability." Sanmei read it out.

"What if I took off my mask or started talking? Is it a disfigurement?" Gu Buquan asked again abruptly.

The third sister was taken aback, her eyes flickered, she waved her hands and started laughing.

"That's not so hahaha... Failure to obey the rules may lead to the failure of the face change. It will cost you a lot of money in vain, and it will damage Yan Zhuang's reputation. The two sides will not be good."

"Okay." Gu Buquan didn't ask any more questions, he took the document and read it again and again, hesitated for a moment, picked up the pen to sign, and pressed a bright red handprint.

"Okay." She raised her head, and stretched out her hands stained with red ink in front of Third Sister.

"What do you mean?" Third Sister was puzzled.

"Give me the money. Didn't you agree to deposit 1000 taels? I signed the waiver of liability. Bring it here. I need it urgently."

The third sister's face turned green immediately, "Are you here to extort money?"

"What am I extorting money from? Didn't you say that, the third sister? These three sisters traded their looks for others, and in exchange for money they built a house for the family, and married their brother a wife? I can't afford a house, and I don't have any brothers." I want to marry a daughter-in-law, otherwise I won't exchange 1000 taels of silver."

"What?" The third sister and the three girls looked at each other in blank dismay.
