Chapter 26: The Funeral Parlor
Three poles in the sun!
Ren Zhuzhu rode a women's bicycle and drove easily on the newly passed concrete road.
Not far behind her, followed Tim Ding, who was riding a silver bicycle and wearing a light blue military uniform.
As the first road to be built, the section of the road from Chen Village to Xujia Town was dried and hardened a few days ago and became passable.
Huang Sheng set up a toll booth in the middle, and sent several people to maintain operations at the toll booth, collecting road maintenance fees from people who used the road to and from each person, charging one penny per person each time.
Not to mention, the cement pavement is much better than the dirt pavement, and it looks refreshing and refreshing, which makes people feel a pleasant feeling, so many villagers are willing to walk on this newly built road and go to the acres of land on both sides of the road to cultivate, which is not only convenient but also fast, but also time-saving.
It's just that when they are about to reach the toll station, many villagers walk down from the cement pavement, walk into the muddy path next to it, and when they avoid the toll station, they walk out from the right place, walk on the cement road, and go to their own fields.
Only the relatively wealthy villagers or small landlords in the village will pay a penny of road maintenance fees, walk with their heads held high on this road that only "superior people" can walk, and look at those mud legs with dirt on the soles of their feet with disgust!
It seems that from this way, these "superior people" can get the pleasure of being psychologically superior.
In fact, they did see the light of envy and fear in the eyes of those mud-legged people, which made them secretly proud in their hearts, and they walked more vigorously.
Therefore, due to the reasons of the times, due to the fact that the people's awareness of paying has not been deeply developed, Huang Sheng knows the road maintenance fee of more than ten Wen every day from this cement road.
It is tantamount to a fantasy to rely on this "huge sum" of money to maintain Huang Sheng's "great development" in Xujia Town.
However, Huang Sheng had already expected it in his heart, and the purpose of his road construction was mainly to facilitate the transportation in the town and provide an income for the villagers by the way.
Cash-for-work!
The huge amount of money he really used to maintain the development of the town actually came from Ren Zhuzhu, or in other words, from a certain industry of the Ren family behind Ren Zhuzhu, if the experiment could be successful.
If the experiment can't be successful, then it's just hehehe.
On the cement road, Ren Zhuzhu rode faster and faster, and soon rode to the location of the mass grave in Chen Village.
At this time, there were some people on both sides of the road who were busy on the mass graves, and Ren Zhuzhu was a little curious when she saw it, so she took the initiative to slow down and look at it.
Taking this opportunity, Tian Ding finally caught up with Ren Zhuzhu, only to see him panting and saying, "Miss Zhuzhu, you are riding so fast." So meet my young master? ”
Tian Ding, who was building and training in the barracks, was suddenly called out by Huang Sheng and sent to Renjia Town to invite Ren Zhuzhu to Xujia Town to meet him.
Tian Ding originally thought that there would be a few twists and turns, but he didn't want to just go to Ren's mansion, and as soon as he said the invitation, Ren Zhuzhu happily went without hesitation at all.
This made Tian Ding dumbfounded.
Ren Zhuzhu, who heard Tian Ding say this, also found that she was too anxious, her face flushed slightly, and then she glanced at Tian Ding, and said, "I just want to see my cousin earlier." ”
"Oh." Tim Ding didn't speak, just smiled on his face.
Tian Ding, who was sent out by Huang Sheng to act as an officer, also had some thoughts of his own.
As soon as Ren Zhuzhu saw it, she knew that Tian Ding might have something to arrange in her heart, out of the shyness of the girl's family, Ren Zhuzhu had to explain.
At this time, an ecstatic male voice suddenly came from the side, "Zhuzhu, why are you here?" ”
Hearing this familiar voice, Ren Zhuzhu looked up in astonishment and saw the man in light blue clothes, "Brother Hao....... Brother Hao, why are you here?" ”
The man in light blue clothes is Ma Madi's apprentice Ah Hao, he is no longer depressed when he first arrived in Xujia Town, but refreshed, and the clothes on his body have also changed into new ones.
After seeing Ren Zhuzhu respond to him, he excitedly put down the work in his hand and rushed directly to Ren Zhuzhu's side.
Ren Zhuzhu smiled awkwardly, and her body avoided slightly.
But Ah Hao didn't see this scene, but answered Ren Zhuzhu's question with a smile, "Zhuzhu, I work here." You haven't answered me yet, why did you come to Xujia Town? ”
"Work? What works? Ren Zhuzhu was puzzled.
"Oh, my master Ma Madi, is now hired by the marshal of Xujia Town as the owner of the funeral home, and we are the official officials of the funeral home! This is an official official, and we are now eating official dinner. We are now directing the villagers to level this mass grave and prepare to build a funeral home. Ah Hao pointed to the hemp ground where Ren Zhuzhu had also been found, and Ah Qiang, who looked aggrieved and didn't dare to act when he wanted to come over, and said proudly.
"Funeral home? What is a funeral home? Ah Hao's words successfully aroused Ren Zhuzhu's curiosity.
"Funeral home? The funeral home is, that is? Ah Hao couldn't answer, and suddenly he saw Ah Qiang and yelled, "Ah Qiang, come here." ”
Then he turned around and said to Ren Zhuzhu with a smile, "Zhuzhu, I asked Ah Qiang to come over and explain to you." ”
Ah Qiang ran over, came to Ren Zhuzhu, put on a flattering smile, and was about to speak to Ren Zhuzhu.
At this time, Ah Hao grabbed Ah Qiang, and said in a tone from superior to subordinate, "Zhuzhu wants to know what the funeral home is?" You tell Zhu Zhu. ”
Hearing this tone made Ah Qiang's heart unhappy, he frowned, and said angrily, "Why don't you say it?" I don't know, right? ”
"Oops!" Ah Hao screamed when he heard this, with a look of pity, "It's rare to give you a chance to perform, since you don't want it, then I'll come by myself." ”
"Come less, if you don't understand, just say it." Ah Qiang glanced at Ah Hao, they have been together for so long, Ah Qiang still doesn't know Ah Hao's morality, but after speaking, he put on a smile and said to Ren Zhuzhu, "Miss Ren, in fact, this funeral parlor is a concept put forward by Huang Sheng, the adjutant of Xujia Town, originally wanted to build Yizhuang, but he later said that Yizhuang is a pity, so let's just build a funeral parlor." The funeral home will not only play the role of Yizhuang, but also manage the tombs of the entire Xujia Town, and Huang Sheng also said that after the funeral home is on the right track, all the mages who are engaged in feng shui and sending spirits in Xujia Town must be certified by our funeral home. ”
"Yes, Miss Ren," Ma Madi, who came over after hearing the words, also said, "Huang Sheng's kid said, there are too many mixed fish and dragons in this industry, and Xujia Town has a corpse breeding place, if the corpse is not handled well, the corpse will change at any time, so there is still a person with high skills to sit in Xujia Town, I see that Huang Sheng's kid is so pitiful, so I reluctantly manage this mess for him." ”
At this time, how could Ma Ma Di have been sluggish by the corpse poison before, and he was full of spirit and triumphant at this time, if he didn't look at his empty cuffs.
"Oh, Dao Chief, it turned out to be Brother Sheng's idea. Dao Chief, you can be valued by Brother Sheng, you must be very powerful. Ren Zhuzhu nodded thoughtfully, suddenly saw Ma Madi's cuffs, and exclaimed, "Ma Ma Di Dao Chief, your hand?" ”
Ma Ma Diyun smiled lightly and said, "When I was dealing with a zombie in Xujia Town before, I was accidentally torn off. It's just a minor injury. ”
Ren Zhuzhu covered her mouth, still looking at the numb ground in shock.
"Dao Chief, you are so great!"
"Hahaha, that's of course, it is the duty of our righteous people to subdue demons and eliminate demons!" He laughed numbly.
The two apprentices next to him both rolled their eyes.
After praising the numbness, Ren Zhuzhu thought of one more thing, so she asked again, "What about the Dao chief, what about the zombies?" ”
"That zombie, that zombie must have been subdued. Otherwise, where would these villagers be driven out to work? Ma Ma was stunned for a moment, and then said in a different concept.
"Dao Chief, you are so powerful!" Ren Zhuzhu was confused by Ma Ma Di and looked at Ma Ma Di with a bit of admiration.
He smiled awkwardly, and just when he saw a villager who was about to pass by, he asked loudly, "Chen Laosan, what are you doing here?" ”
The villager of Chen Laosan stopped when he heard this, and said, "Dao Chief, there is a corpse that needs you to come and collect it." ”
"Oh, I see, I'll go over here. In addition, I have said many times, don't call me Taoist, call me curator. He replied numbly.
"Oh. Curator. Chen Laosan was stunned for a moment, and then said honestly.
"Yes." Ma Ma Di nodded with satisfaction and said to Ren Zhuzhu, "Miss Ren, I'm busy first." ”
Ren Zhuzhu nodded, "Dao Chief, please take it." ”
Ma Ma Di then walked back to the mass grave with the appearance of a high-ranking person.
As soon as Ma Ma left, Ah Hao came out to speak first, "Zhuzhu, this is the first time you have come to Xujia Town, wait a minute, I will take you to Xujia Town to play." Let me tell you, Xujiazhen has changed a lot, there are a lot of ........."
"I'm sorry, Brother Hao," Ren Zhuzhu said apologetically, "Brother Sheng has something to look for me, I'll let Brother Sheng take me to play when the time comes, so I don't have to trouble you, Brother Hao." ”
Ah Hao was speechless.
At this time, Tian Ding, who was silent behind him, also stood up and said softly, "Miss Ren, the young master is waiting for us." ”
"Oh, yes. Brother Hao, Brother Qiang, next time we talk, I'll go first. ”
After saying that, Ren Zhuzhu got on the bicycle and left.
Ah Hao, who was messy in the wind, was silent.
