Construction of the port area from Anchorage to the north

"Anchorage... think, you are sad?"

"Farewell to life and death is a major event in life. The pain of parting is human nature. My hall master is just easier to empathize with... Besides, those are just bodies, and it is my hall master's job to send them off!"

Hu Tao put her hips on her hips, raised her head with a great look, but didn't avoid it: "Okay, hurry up and continue to set off. Today, at least one business must be completed, so that the hall master can open it in Dao's Wife!"

"... a white job?"

"How can it be called a white job? It's called adapting to the working ecology of the branch and investigating the environment. You have to learn for new employees, and there is still a lot to be done!"

Without any trace of sadness, Hu Tao turned her head cheerfully, and continued to walk towards the resistance army's stockade with arrogant steps.

Chapter 44. In doing business, you have to have a thick skin!

Everything else about Daozuma is good, but every island has some problems.For example, Yalong Island, although the rebel base was established here, the climate here is actually very bad.

where

I am afraid that there is no rain, but there is also a strong wind that keeps surging, and even the dark clouds in the sky never disperse, and there are often thunderbolts that strike the ground, which is very terrifying.

The reason why I mention this is because Hu Tao was almost struck by lightning... Who told her to use a gun.

Haoxuan finally avoided two waves of foolish spies, and watched from a distance a very boldly dressed and figured Ice Maid left.

The two of them finally touched the ground with sharpened tree trunks as a wall, flags hanging blatantly in the strong wind, guard towers, and the gate of the rebel position dressed in red.

To be honest, it's quite far away...

Hu Tao let out a long sigh, she was quite displeased with the thunder, then she suddenly turned her head and straightened her hat: "Well... After comparing with the hall master, even the tall fools are not as big as the new employees. , how long is it?"

Only at this time, can one truly feel that the quirky and carefree Hu Tao is actually a girl at heart.

"Anchorage...don't understand, teacher, say it's...natural, eh!"

Hu Tao shrugged, sighed helplessly, then patted her shoulder on tiptoe, let Anchorage walk behind him, and yelled at the sentinel, 'Who! ' He raised a hand.

"Don't be nervous! Be safe and don't be impatient, my hall master is here to discuss a business with you, are you interested?"

The sentinel above was stunned. It was the first time he had seen someone come over to negotiate a deal with him in such bad weather, but the other party really had no intention of attacking, so... After thinking about it, the sentinel asked them to Wait a moment.

A few whistles of different lengths were blown, and two people who were also holding long guns ran out quickly. They looked at Anchorage for the first time, and then tried to shift to the face of Walnut who was waving.

"What, what's going on, why is it so noisy?"

Hu Tao explained her reason for coming again, but this time she seemed to have figured something out. She only said that she wanted to negotiate a big deal with the rebels, involving the rebels... well, everyone.

The two hesitated for a while, and confirmed that only one of them held the 'God's Eye', and in Daozu, wandering around with the God's Eye was an attitude in itself, so they thought for a long time before going to the camp to ask for instructions A person who can speak well.

A few seconds later, the two were invited to the stockade, and Anchorage was finally able to take a look. Compared with the cartoon rendering in the game, it was much more realistic, and you could even see the water brought by the rain on the tree trunks. Corroded, mildewed appearance.

There were some wounded patients in the camp, who were whimpering in pain in the tent. They could smell the smell of fireworks and the spice of medicinal herbs. After passing through the heavy fences, they finally stopped in front of a wooden house that was obviously the coach. Anchorage tilted his head slightly.

In front of them, in addition to a young man with a animal-like appearance like a dog's ears, wearing an ashigaru outfit and simple armor, there is another one who feels out of place with the painting style of the surrounding people.

How to describe it?

The figure is swaying, the figure is like a dream, as if the whole body is surrounded by light water vapor, the girl with long pink hair gradually dyed into light blue at the end, is a little curious...Looking at Anchorage.

The clothes are exquisitely cut and graceful. If you don't look carefully, you won't even notice that she is actually wearing very tight shorts. She looks like a mermaid in water walking on land.

"These two... don't look like rice wives. What's the purpose of coming to us?"

That's right, the one in front of you is the leader of the Daozuma Rebel Army, who is known as the "True Monarch with Wonderful Strategies" and "True Monarch Who Can't Attack Critically". His real name is Coral Palace Xinhai, the leader who serves as a military advisor!

It is said that some people call her a five-star ornamental fish. Anchorage does not agree with this statement.

Because she felt that it would be more friendly to call such a role that is of no use at the moment 'a promising future'.

Thoughts were flowing and thoughts were overflowing, but Anchorage did not take the initiative to strike up a conversation. Instead, under the attention of other people, he took out his mobile phone and looked at the tasks and warehouse.

All the negotiation matters are left to Hu Tao. She is just a 'new employee' and not the leader of the situation!

Obviously, Walnut has a lot of experience in sales.

"This guest, I think there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers under him. There must be some losses in every battle, or because of neglect, or because of accidents, right? But! Ordinary people are helpless about how to let the dead go well. At this time, we need professionals like us!"

Hu Tao was struck by lightning at the opening, and quickly put two small advertising cards that she made herself, even waterproof on the surface, to the dog-eared boy and the ornamental fish... No, Coral Palace Xinhai.

Both of them were shocked by Hutao's aura for a moment, and then they had the time to check the small card in their hands. It was clearly written that Liyuegang is the only designated funeral service industry. Rewards and discounts...

After a moment of silence, Coral Palace Xinhai slightly closed her eyes that were the same color as her hair accessories and clothes: "I already know the reason for your visit, it seems that you really want to see off the innocent dead... But, Now we are fighting with the shogunate army, and we will suffer losses almost every day, and if things go on like this, it will definitely lead to serious trouble..."

What she meant was that people would die every day, and she hoped that Hu Tao could understand whether she wanted to

The idea of ​​someone dying for no reason, it is best to be able to pull it into your camp, succeed in the resistance as soon as possible, and send your expectations and wishes to General Thunder.

But Hu Tao didn't think so. She rolled her eyes, then nodded without hesitation: "Oh~ I understand, I understand, customers are quite worried about these issues, right, but it doesn't matter, my hall master specializes in these things!"

She took out another stack of small cards out of nowhere. To be honest, from the perspective of Anchorage as an enthusiastic crowd in the past, and the suspect who caught the small cards, maybe she used to shake the walnut upside down now, Can sprinkle a card...

"Qingshengtang sincerely manages the advance reservation business~Whether you are male, female, old or young, healthy or poor, rich or poor, Xiangshengtang treats everyone equally!"

"Now there is a [-]% discount for the package business. Invite relatives and friends to buy together and enjoy buy one get one free. If you can recommend others, you can even enjoy a discount. It's a great deal. Don't come again when you can't miss it!"

A set of skillful direct sales made Coral Palace Xinhai stunned for a while, but the soldier who was watching this side couldn't help shouting: "Shut up! How could the military adviser buy this kind of... This kind of... uh, unlucky thing!"

"Eh? Unlucky? But people are old, sick and die, and they will always go through this. If you don't prepare now, you won't have time to do anything when it comes. Isn't it a pity?"

In the eyes of others, Hu Tao, who discusses the topic of death without any scruples, has a great talent for angering people.

Chapter 45. The first order of Xiangshengtang came so fast!

The soldiers around were clamoring, shouting to arrest the two people who provoked him, but Coral Palace Xinhai held the card and thought for a while, then suddenly raised his hand to calm everyone down.

"There's a lot of thunder here, so it's not suitable to negotiate conditions. Our rebels don't have much money, but it just so happens that two people died in the conflict with the shogunate yesterday... Could you please keep it simple?"

Hu Tao blinked and looked happy: "That's a good relationship. If it's simple, let me think about it. What package do you want? Burial at sea? Burial at sea? Cremation? What style of tablet do you want? Do you have any coffin requirements?"

To be honest, from the perspective of the funeral industry, Hu Tao's service can hardly be described as caring, it can be said to be extremely customized. If it is the deceased, she should be given a five-star praise.

Coral Palace Xinhai was a little overwhelmed by the barrage of questions. She subconsciously wanted to step back, but then she remembered something, so she quickly stood still and took a deep breath.

"Well, let's keep everything simple. The headquarters can't afford too much money right now. Please discuss the details with Goro. I now... have some arrangements to make."

After finishing speaking, she walked towards the depths of the headquarters under the escort of several soldiers, and then Goro scratched his head and sighed: "Military teacher... well, I don't know much about these, but we also I didn't say what kind of burial method, but it's not good to bury it casually, so, can it be buried at sea?"

"Oh~ sea burial, um, yes, of course, but can you tell me the reason for the death of the guest? Died of military injuries? Drowning? Illness? Or something else?"

Hu Tao went to pester Goro, Anchorage turned around and looked at the position, and then suddenly remembered... If Ying had come here, this bad weather should have been suppressed long ago.

It's not that the impression of Ying has changed from a traveler looking for her brother to an errand king who responds to requests, but she has this kind of intuition that Ying'will definitely do' these things.

After all, even though Bayun Island is entrenched by the demon god's resentment, it is not so thunderous all day long. The root cause is that the utensils from the shrines used for suppression are scattered everywhere. After all are collected, the sky will clear normally.

While thinking, Anchorage felt that someone was approaching him. He turned his head and saw that it was a sergeant who was shy but still mustered up the courage to come over.

"Please, what is your name?"

The other party's gaze was constantly roving the ground, and he really didn't dare to look at Anchorage—after all, even in Daozuma, a girl who is quite boldly dressed like this is...

Regarding this, Anchorage said earnestly: "The teacher said... During the business period of Xiangshengtang, don't talk to people..., eh!"

Quite 'properly' rejecting the other party's intention to strike up a conversation, Anchorage turned his head and saw Hu Tao flipping through a handbook, with a serious expression, not as jovial as usual.

After a while, she closed her cane, turned around and greeted Anchorage: "New employee! There are also quite special tree species here in Daozuma. Among them, the most suitable for sea burial is the Ogamu. Now let's hurry to get some. Hurry up!"

Make... a tree?

Under the sluggish gaze of the surrounding people, Hu Tao first went to the house where the body was kept, nodded to it, and took out some white paper rolls without hesitation, and pasted them on the left, right and top of the door frame.

Read from right to left, the first couplet is "the legacy of the wealth and honor behind the body", the second couplet is "if you don't bring death, you don't take it away", horizontal criticism "don't look back".

It's worthy of being a badass poet of the dark side of the alley. This thing is obviously thought of on the spot, and there is no fluent explanation...

Then he took out incense candles and a desk from nowhere, ordered someone to bring a wooden table and put it on it, lit it, then put the remaining incense candles on the table, and asked someone to come over and let him look at it.

It is difficult to burn out the candles, but the incense enshrined in the incense stand is

It's faster, especially at this time when the wind is strong, and Hu Tao told him to renew one when it was almost finished, and not to break it.

Then, without the slightest joy of closing a deal, Anchorage followed her, left the camp, and found an area that the rebels called a "busy tree" area, and personally searched and collected wood.

It is more convenient for the people of Tivat here. Tools and the like don’t even need to be packed, and a small space with a God’s Eye can be stuffed with a lot of miscellaneous things.

Of course, if you want to talk about big items, of course there are no small tools...everything is available.

"Let me see... oh! That tree is very beautiful. It's a good first-class coffin for sea burial. New employee, please cut it down."

Handing the logging ax to Anchorage, Walnut looked at her expectantly, but the latter shook his head, walked to the tree that was always mistaken for a bush in the game, but in fact it grew strangely, and grabbed the trunk with both hands .

Then forcefully pull it up by the roots.

The crackling sound of tree roots breaking, the turning of the soil, and the swaying leaves made a toothache sound, and they were pulled out artificially and brought to the walnut.

She opened her mouth halfway and blinked her eyes, as if she realized for the first time that this charming girl who called herself 'ship' was really a ship.

"Hmm... As expected of a new employee! First cut off those useless branches, leaving the trunk, and the rest is my job. It looks like today will go well!"

Walnut patted the trunk quite excitedly, urging Anchorage to cut off all the excess from the tree—then took out the spear, and in an unexpected way, began to process the raw materials.

Of course, Anchorage is not a freelancer. The reason why she is so willing to do this kind of chore is because of the tasks and rewards issued by the system that people can't refuse!

[Open for business: assist Hu Tao to complete the work of the Hall of Rebirth, which can enhance the reputation of the Hall of Resurrection in Daozuma. 】

[Mission rewards: 1 Mind Rubik's Cube, 100 fuel, 1000 supplies, ship exercise data T1]

Stage missions give such a good thing, and what is the exercise data... Anchorage, I am a little curious.

After only waiting for a short while, Hu Tao has already made a boat-shaped coffin in a decent shape, which looks quite decent.

"Of course, the master's craftsmanship has never had any complaints from customers. This coffin, considering that the client said that he wanted them to have a companion on the road, so he made a double-layer structure, um... almost .”

With a smile, Walnut took out a few long nails, gestured a few times, and motioned to Anchorage to pick them up and bring them back to the camp, ready to do business.

According to her, the business requested by the other party is to keep everything simple, but it should not be too simple. Do everything that needs to be done. This is the respect for the deceased.

Whenever such things are mentioned, Hu Tao's expression becomes quite serious, and she can feel that she is indeed worthy of the title of "No.70 Seventh Generation Hall Master of the Past Life Hall".

Although every few seconds, she reveals her true colors.

Chapter 46. People who want to play games comfortably, lie down!

It didn't take much effort to go back and forth, except for carrying the boat-shaped coffin with one hand. For ordinary people, it takes at least four to six people to carry it. Anchorage, who was breathing without any disorder, was shocked. Other than the man's jaw, nothing happened.

All the follow-up matters will be taken over by Hutao. For the time being, he only needs to count the supplies in the formation. Goro, who is preparing for the next battle, watched it for a while, only feeling quite admirable in his heart.

Regardless of how small a walnut is, it does things neatly and cleanly, without muddling at all. It even talks about 'simplifying the process' but in practice, it is not the case at all.

Please put it in the coffin and crucify the lid to prevent wind and waves, and then decorate it with cinnabar and yellow paper, so that it hangs in the air throughout the whole process, whispering some words that Dao wife doesn't understand, the whole process is solemn and peaceful. silence.

Except for Anchorage, who was arranged next to him, holding a soul bell in his hand, shaking it from time to time, making a lonely sound, no one dared to make any noise during the whole process.

After finishing this, Hu Tao walked to the front of the coffin with a solemn expression, and ordered a few people: "You guys, carry the coffin, let's go to the beach, don't talk too much. You still have you, take the incense candles. New employees, every ten steps a bell , buy road money every ten steps."

Suppressed by this momentum, the others dared not speak, and hurried to pick up the coffin, followed behind holding a walnut with a simple standard in both hands, and walked to the ferry near the sea outside the camp go.

Walking at the end of the line, Anchorage grabbed a handful of round white paper from his pocket and sprinkled it casually. Paper money flew into the sky, and then was blown up by the strong wind, and quickly flew to nowhere.

The occasional thunder that can be heard, the solemn march in the strong wind, the team with hunting clothes, and the gloomy weather... Anchorage thought for a while, took out his mobile phone, and took a picture of this scene.

A group of people arrived at the ferry, followed by many rebels who came to watch, wanting to see the final destination of their brothers who fought side by side... Hu Tao did not speak to them, and put down the lamp in his hand on the ferry that seemed to have been burned .

Then instruct them to bring the coffin over, put it in the water, put incense candles on the ferry, wave their hands to signal everyone to stand back, turn over their hands and pull out the goma stick, and put it on the back of the coffin.

The boat-shaped coffin, covered with various decorations, went out to sea along the wind.

Anchorage thought for a while, put the bell away, searched in the armory, and found a quadruple Chicago piano.

Aiming at the high altitude, she let the anti-aircraft machine gun make four "bang bang bang bang" sounds, as if she had let off the firecrackers.

Hu Tao didn't care, but the rebels around and Goro who followed in the front were so frightened that even the dog's ears drooped, and it took a long time to recover slowly.

After the boat headed towards the open sea and gradually could only see the candles burning on the boat, Hu Tao looked away, ran to Anchorage, and patted her... on the arm, expressing that she did a good job.

"Although there is no such project in Jianli, the new employees know the ceremony very well. I even just said it halfway, and you can immediately react... Could it be possible that you have done similar things before?"

Shaking his head in a rustle, Anchorage carefully brushed his hair back: "Teacher... I learned it before, I want to do this... Mmm!"

Hu Tao put her hips on her hips, tilted her head and thought for a while: "That teacher of yours, wouldn't he be by your side all the time, oh~ I understand, it must be that teacher is not easy to show up, so I asked you to come and help. I understand, I understand~"

"Well... teacher, I've been here... very reassuring!"
