Chapter 657 Life after the bad news
Ai Luo couldn't help but take a breath of air, turned his head, and looked at the polyester who was crying loudly. I really didn't expect that this guy who usually seemed quite cheerful and could joke around would be such an emotional person.
people.
The third carpenter apprentice also came over, rubbing his shoulders, and said: "Because it's really not okay for him to stay awake like this, and the lumberjack dad doesn't want him to stay here anymore, so I hope we can persuade him to stay here."
He went back. And last night, we told him that the woodcutter dad's health was getting better, and forced him to go back to rest. Then...dad, he just...just...just..." this morning..."
While talking, these apprentices shed tears involuntarily.
Hearing this, Ai Luo more or less understood the matter. He turned his head and looked at the polyester sitting on the threshold, crying and stamping his feet. He couldn't help but sigh and stepped forward.
"President Arrow... President Arrow!"
Seeing Ai Luo approaching, Polyester's originally suppressed cries were now released again. His face was twisted in pain, and he shouted while crying——
"Dad...Dad really treats me as his own son! I have never seen anyone with such skillful skills before...let alone someone who is so willing to teach me carpentry!"
Wuwuwu... No matter how many weird ideas I have, my father will let me take the initiative to explore and develop! I should have been waiting by his side and doing my best for him! Wuwuwu...
"
He stamped his feet, as if he couldn't breathe because he was crying too loudly. His face was swollen and red, but after taking several consecutive breaths, he suddenly stood up and stared fiercely at the three carpenter apprentices.
, open your hands and rush over!
"You three bastards! You drove me away! You prevented me from seeing my father for the last time! I want you to be buried with me! Or you let me be buried with my father!!!"
After the words fell, Dacron, who was completely carried away by anger and sadness, rushed towards the three carpentry apprentices quickly! But he had just taken a step, and another huge figure blocked him in time, a
With skillful locking, the polyester was completely locked to the ground and stuck around his neck.
"Calm down, Polyester. You have to... calm down."
Brad's arms were wrapped around Polyester's neck, restraining the completely crazy carpenter and trying to calm him down as much as possible.
With Brad's help, Ai Luo also breathed a sigh of relief. He stepped forward and comforted softly: "Dacron, what do you mean by being like this now? Look at your wife and children, do you want to let you
Will your family continue to watch you as crazy as you are now?"
Polyester turned his head and saw his wife and children standing in the crowd, looking at him in fear. Seeing the looks in his family's eyes, the carpenter finally stopped from Brad's struggle and lowered his head.
, sobbed gently.
After comforting Dacron, Ai Luo breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned back and looked at the surrounding townspeople. Seeing that no one seemed willing to stand up and take charge of this matter, he sighed helplessly and could only turn his head to face the three terrified carpenters.
The apprentice said: "Is dad's body inside now? What are you going to do with it now?"
The carpenter apprentices led the way and led Airl into the room.
This home, where the most skilled carpenter in Pelican Town lives, does not look that well-crafted. The cracks on the wall look quite conspicuous, and there is even a wooden toilet placed in the corner of the room.
It doesn't seem to be as "automated" as in the Mermaid Song Guild at all. The only thing in the whole room that is somewhat elaborate is probably a shrine placed on the wall of the room to worship the God of Light.
Ai Luo frowned, walked through the living room, came to the bedroom, and soon saw the old man lying on the bed, his eyes tightly closed, and he could no longer show his stubborn temper in front of everyone.
Arriving at the bedside, Ai Luo knelt beside the old man, held his hands together, and prayed a few words. After looking at the old man's body for a moment, he could only sigh helplessly, while
Wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, he turned to the carpentry apprentices behind him and said, "How are you going to handle the funeral ceremony?"
The carpentry apprentices looked at each other, and then said: "Dad has no family, and there are not many people coming and going except us students. So we also plan to bury dad in the cemetery of Pelican Town according to the traditional ceremony.
"
Ai Luo nodded and said, "What about the coffin?"
Carpenter Apprentice: "Perhaps Dad has already thought of such a day, so he has built it for himself. It's just behind the house. Alas... When I looked at this coffin before, I was still thinking that Dad was really worried.
I have this feeling. But now that I think about it... everything is so inevitable."
After chatting for a while, from the mouths of these carpentry apprentices, Arrow also learned that this logging father did not have much property in ordinary times. He seemed to do carpentry purely out of interest and hobby, to add some fun to his old life. So he took
The funds received were not only used to pay wages to these apprentices, but also to buy materials. Instead, I only left some money to maintain basic living and no inheritance.
After confirming these circumstances, Ai Luo knelt down to the old man lying on the bed again, prayed silently for a moment, and left the room.
Outside the door, Polyester was holding his brother, still sobbing silently. Brad was watching closely, fearing that he would get violent again.
Arrow sighed, walked towards the nun who looked completely indifferent, and said, "Margaux, I want to ask you a favor."
Margot looked at Ai Luo, then nodded immediately and said, "No problem, I agree."
Ai Luo was a little surprised by such a straightforward agreement, and a smile appeared on his lips involuntarily: "Do you know what I'm thinking?"
Margot said indifferently: "I can be considered a 'nun' now, right? Since there is no high priest in a remote place like ours who can preside over the funeral, then naturally it is my turn.
Has the nun appeared? But having said that, I don’t know how to read prayers. You can write one to me when the time comes.”
Suta next to him looked a little scared, but he still said boldly: "Is this so? In this case...will it be disrespectful to the deceased? And if you are not a nun...will you be punished by the God of Light if you preside over the funeral casually?
?”
Margaux rolled her eyes at her: "I can't? Then why don't you come? After all, you are also a paladin. A paladin can also preside over funerals, right? After all, they serve the God of Light."
Hearing that this matter was going to be blamed on him, Suta quickly waved his hands and shrank back.
"Huh...then, it's the inheritance part."
Ai Luo looked at the house in front of him with some embarrassment and continued -
"The lumberjack dad doesn't have much inheritance, but there are still some completed or unfinished carpentry behind the house. I'm afraid these things need to be dealt with..."
"Legacy of logging? The old gentleman passed away?"
Just when Ai Luo was discussing with his members how to help deal with the funeral of the lumberjack dad, a slightly gentle voice mixed with some surprise suddenly came from the side.
Ai Luo turned his head, and the one who made the sound was none other than the pair of masters and apprentices of the Demon Swordsman. And the one who spoke was Mr. Capone, who now showed a slightly shocked expression.
The magic swordsman looked at the sad carpenter apprentice and Dacron over there, then at the wooden house, and finally his eyes fell on Airl. After pondering for a long time, he said with a low voice.
: "Mr. Timber...really passed away? It was really too sudden..."
Looking at the pair of master and apprentice, Ai Luo didn't know what kind of expression he should use to face them.
On the one hand, this is the real culprit of the master and disciple’s own expense!
But on the other hand, they themselves did nothing wrong. Especially Capone's current expression is a little sad, which is the sadness that an ordinary person can instinctively show after hearing that someone else has passed away.
"Do you know Daddy Woodcutter?"
Ai Luo responded.
Capone exhaled, nodded slightly, and said: "I have been in contact with him twice... He is really a very cheerful and energetic old gentleman. Then... can you let me go and meet him?"
Arrow introduced Capone to the carpenter apprentices. The pair of magic sword masters and apprentices followed the carpenter apprentices into the room. After a long time, they came out again.
"It's really sad... If there is anything I can do to help with the funeral, please feel free to ask."
Capone exchanged pleasantries with the carpentry apprentices, and then he looked at the simple wooden house in front of him again and said -
"And, although I know it may be inappropriate to say this at this time, I don't know if some of the work I entrusted the old logging man to do is completed now? Or is there nothing that can be done?"
"Work?"
These carpentry apprentices looked a little confused, as if they had not thought of such a thing for a while.
Seeing the blank expressions on the faces of these carpentry apprentices, Capone didn't say anything. Instead, he nodded sadly and turned to Polyester, whose eyes were straight next to him. He half-knelt in a very chic posture on the steps where he was now sitting completely.
In front of the wordless Dacron, he said: "Mr. Apprentice, you were also present when I commissioned the carpentry. Excuse me, is my commission completed? Or can't be completed? The old logging gentleman asked me to pick it up today. Now
I am really sorry for this scene, but there are many things about the funeral that are going to be complicated, and I don’t want the things I entrusted to be damaged or lost in the chaos. Please help me with this.
