Time always passed quickly in the comfortable days. Jiang Baitian walked around Liyue Street with a "huge sum" of more than 10,000 yuan every day, but he didn't spend a single mola.
It's definitely not because he is picky, he just doesn't know what to buy.
To buy candy, it is better to teleport to the wild to pick sweet flowers, which is clean and hygienic. To buy food, it is better to go to the kitchen of Shengshengtang. No matter how bad it is, you can still eat delicious food by trying the dishes for Xiangling.
He doesn't need to buy daily necessities. There are plenty of them in the Hall of Purity, but he has no use for some nice-looking but useless gadgets.
This results in the fact that he still has as many molas as he had in his pocket at the beginning.
Jiang Bai squatted on the street, throwing stones he picked up from nowhere in his hand out of boredom, "It's so boring."
It’s true that the hall master doesn’t take him with him when he goes out, leaving his little brother useless.
He really wanted to rush to Hu Tao and ask: Am I not your favorite little brother? You don't even take me with you when you go out to play!
But I don't have the guts.
Apart from Hutao, the only friend he met in Liyue Port was Xiangling.
However, Xiangling was helping out in the restaurant at home, and even the rice dumplings were helping to serve the dishes, so it was hard for him to disturb her.
Their Ye Luo Gui Gen business has currently received three customers. In addition to the Katis adventurer who went to the snow mountains, they also received an adventurer who was going to the desert, and an adventurer who was planning to cross the sea to go to Daozhu.
He now takes out the pointer and looks at it from time to time to see if it is working.
He took out the pointer, his eyes a little careless, but the next second, his eyes widened.
His first client, the adventurer, is dead!
It was fine this morning, but when I looked at it just now, my name had turned gray!
He jumped up from the ground, looked at it several times and compared it with others, and then confirmed that he had read it correctly. The adventurer was really in a dead state.
I don’t know what he went through. He was fine when he came to do business a few days ago, but now he suddenly died, which makes people feel that life is impermanent.
He took out the Four Directions Scripture Instrument and placed the pointer for finding walnuts on it.
According to the contract, he should be ready to leave for the snow-capped mountains now, but it was his first business trip and he was a little nervous, so he had better ask the hall master for instructions. It would be better if he could get the hall master to go with him.
He looked for people in the direction pointed by the four directions, and soon found Hutao outside the city.
She picked up a branch from somewhere, with a rope tied to the thin end of the branch. She was sitting by the lake, using this simple device to catch lobsters.
"Hall Master!"
"What's wrong?" Hutao, who was seriously fishing for lobsters, looked speechlessly at Jiang Bai, who suddenly appeared in surprise.
"Dead! That adventurer is dead!" Jiang Bai showed her the gray pointer.
"Calm down, life and death, illness and death are common occurrences. We are working in the Rebirth Hall, how can we make such a fuss just because people are dead?"
Hutao calmly threw a handful of chopped sundried nuts into the water, trying to attract fish and shrimps, and then asked unhurriedly:
"Which adventurer died?"
"Katis! He is the first customer of our new business, the one who went to the snowy mountains!"
When Jiang Bai said this, Hu Tao knew which one it was.
Her expression remained very calm, and she even changed into a comfortable posture.
"The people who can book our business are those who are about to go to dangerous places or do some dangerous things. They know that going there is dangerous and the chance of survival is low, so they book our business.
Normally, we would receive news of his death as soon as a few days, and if it took a month or two, the news would come. Now it is expected that he is dead.
Just tell the steward on duty and leave directly."
As the master of the Hall of the Past, she is used to seeing the reality of life and death. She receives a lot of news about someone's death every day, which doesn't shock her.
She said seriously to Jiang Bai:
"It's no surprise that anyone dies in this world. You should get used to it as soon as possible."
"It's not a matter of getting used to it." Jiang Bai had a helpless look on his face.
Although the adventurer's death made him feel in a trance, it was okay. After all, they had not had much communication before, and the trance disappeared immediately.
But that's not the purpose of coming to Hutao.
He wants to trick the hall master into going to the snowy mountains with him!
With a humanoid lighter like the hall master here, are you afraid that you won’t be able to start a fire or have a place to stay warm on a snowy mountain?
"Master, I'm going on a mission. I don't have much confidence. I'm afraid that I won't do well. You can go with me." He shook Hu Tao's arm and tried to soften him up.
"The funeral process and procedures have all been taught to you by the undertakers. This client is from Mondstadt and is not as particular as us Liyue people. Just find his bones and restrain them, and then follow his wishes.
I’m not familiar with snow-capped mountains either, so even if I go with you, it won’t make much difference, and it might even hinder you.”
Hu Tao sat still like an old monk, showing no intention of moving.
"But..." Jiang Bai still wanted to struggle again.
Going out alone is not as fun as going out with two people. I don’t know how long it will take to search in the snowy mountains. It’s better to have someone to accompany you than to be alone.
Hutao didn't know what he was thinking. She was happily fishing for lobsters. She had a hunch that she would catch the first one soon, and she didn't want to go to the snow-capped mountains to blow the cold wind!
"You want to say that this is your first time going to a snow-capped mountain, right? There are many places in the world that you have never been to. Who hasn't had a first time?"
"Our business is destined for you to follow the adventurers' footsteps throughout the entire continent of Teyvat. Now is your experience!"
Seeing that Jiang Bai still wanted to pull her along, Hu Tao patted him on the shoulder sincerely:
"The environment in the snow-capped mountains is indeed a bit complicated, but I believe you can handle it. You just need to follow the directions and ask Uncle Ge to prepare anything you need."
"The first battle for Soul Crosser Jiang Bai to become famous, he has to do it beautifully!"
Jiang Bai watched as Hutao kept throwing big and round cakes to him. As long as he took one bite, he would not have to worry about food for half a year.
He dodged left and right to avoid the big cake, and hugged Hu Tao's arm.
"Master, I don't know how long I have to go. It's freezing in the snow-capped mountains. I need you!"
Hutao pulled out her arm wordlessly, put her fingers on his head and pushed him away, "Just talk, hug, hug, pull and tug, how decent it is!"
Jiang Bai:(`)
He felt wronged, but he didn't say it.
Seeing his expression, Hutao had no choice but to use his ultimate move.
"Go! I'll give you a big red envelope when you come back to celebrate the perfect conclusion of our first battle!"
