Chapter 657 Life After the Bad News

Arrow gasped and turned his head to look at the polyester who was now crying loudly. I really didn't expect that this guy, who usually looks quite cheerful and can joke casually, turned out to be such an emotional person.

The third carpentry apprentice also walked over, rubbing his shoulder, and said, "Because he really can't go on without sleep, and Timber Daddy doesn't want him to stay here any longer, so I hope we can persuade him to go back." And last night, we told him that Daddy Lumber was getting better, and forced him to go back to rest. And then...... Daddy, he's ...... this morning Only...... Just ......"

As they spoke, these apprentices also couldn't help but shed tears.

Hearing this, Arrow more or less understood the matter. He turned his head and looked at the polyester who was sitting on the threshold, crying and stomping his feet, and couldn't help but sigh and stepped forward.

"President Arrow...... O President! ”

Seeing Eero approaching, Polyester's crying, which had been somewhat contained, was now released again. His face contorted with pain, and he cried and roaredβ€”

"Daddy...... Daddy really treats me like his own son! I've never seen anyone so skillful before...... I've never met someone who is so willing to teach me carpentry! Woowoo...... No matter how many strange ideas I have, my dad will let me take the initiative to explore and develop! I should have been by his side all the time, doing my best for his old man! Woowoo woo ......"

He stamped his foot, seemingly unable to breathe because of the loud crying. The face was swollen and red, but after several consecutive breaths, he suddenly stood up, stared fiercely at the three carpentry apprentices, and was about to pounce with his hands outstretched!

"You three bastards! You drive me away! I didn't see the last side of my daddy! I want you to be buried with me! Or do you tell me to go to my father's funeral!! ”

The words fell, and Polyester, completely carried away by anger and sadness, quickly rushed towards the three carpentry apprentices! But he had just taken a step, and another huge figure was in front of him in time, a skillful anti-lock, completely locking the polyester to the ground and jamming his neck.

"Calm down, polyester. You want...... Calm down. ”

Brad's arms wrapped around Polyester's neck, restraining the already completely insane carpenter and keeping him as quiet as possible.

With Brad's help, Arrow was also relieved. He stepped forward and said softly: "Polyester, what do you mean by this?" Look at your wife and children, do you want your family to continue to be here and watch you go crazy like this? ”

Polyester looked away and saw his wife and children standing in the crowd, looking very scared at him. Seeing the eyes of his family, the carpenter finally stopped from Brad's struggle, lowered his head, and sobbed softly.

comforting the polyester, Arrow breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked back at the townsfolk around him. Seeing that no one seemed willing to stand up and preside over this matter now, he sighed helplessly, and could only turn his head to face the three frightened carpentry apprentices, and said, "Is Daddy's remains in it?" What are you going to do about it now? ”

The carpentry apprentices lead the way and lead Arrow into the room.

The home of Pelican Town's best carpenter, doesn't look so elaborate. The cracks in the walls look quite conspicuous, and there is even a wooden toilet in the corner of the room, which doesn't look at all as "automated" as in the Mermaid Song Guild. The only thing in the room that is a little elaborately carved is probably a shrine dedicated to the god of light placed on the wall of the room.

With a frown, Arrow walked through the living room to the bedroom, where he soon saw the old man lying on the bed, his eyes closed, and he could no longer show his stubborn temper in front of everyone.

Arriving at the bedside, Arrow knelt beside the old man, clasped his hands together, and prayed softly. After looking at the old man's remains for a moment, he could only sigh helplessly, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and turned his head 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 said, "Daddy has no family, and there is no one to interact with on weekdays except for us students. So we also plan to let Daddy enter the cemetery in Pelican Town for burial according to the traditional ceremony. ”

Arrow nodded and said, "What about the coffin?" ”

Carpentry Apprentice: "Maybe Daddy himself has already thought of such a day, so he has already built it for himself." It's right behind the house. Alas...... When I looked at this coffin before, I was still thinking that my father really had this mood. But now think about it...... Everything is so inevitable. ”

After talking for a while, from the mouths of these carpentry apprentices, Arrow also knew that this logging father did not have any property on weekdays. He seems to have done carpentry purely as a hobby and hobby, adding a little fun to his old age. Therefore, in addition to paying the salaries of these apprentices, the funds obtained were used to buy materials, and he only left some money to maintain his basic life, and he had no inheritance.

After confirming this, Arrow knelt down again to the old man lying on the bed, and after a moment of silent prayer, he left the room.

Outside the door, Polyester hugged his brother, still sobbing silently. Brad, on the other hand, was staring closely, for fear that he would flare up again.

Elo sighed, walked over to the nun who looked completely indifferent, and said, "Margaux, please do something. ”

Margaux looked at Arrow, then immediately nodded and said, "No problem, I promise." ”

Such a refreshing acceptance surprised Arrow, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily showed a smile: "Do you know what I'm thinking?" ”

Margaux said with a nonchalant expression: "Anyway, I'm a 'nun' now, right?" Since there is no one like a high priest to preside over the funeral in a small remote place like ours, it is naturally my turn to appear as a nun, right? But then again, I don't know how to read the prayer, so you can write me a copy when the time comes. ”

The crisp tower next to him looked a little scared, but he still said a little boldly: "So? In this case...... Will there be disrespect for the dead? And not the words of the nun...... Will you be punished by the God of Light for casually presiding over the funeral? ”

Margaux gave her a blank look: "I can't? Are you coming? Anyway, you're also a paladin, and a paladin can also officiate at a funeral, right? Anyway, they all serve the god of light. ”

Hearing that this matter was going to be pushed on himself, Sutta hurriedly waved his hand and shrank back.

"Whew...... Well, there's the legacy. ”

Arrow looked at the house in front of him with some embarrassment, and continuedβ€”

"Timber Daddy doesn't have much of an inheritance, but there are some completed or unfinished carpenters in the back of the house, and I'm afraid these things need to be dealt with......"

"The legacy of logging? The old gentleman passed away? ”

Just as Arrow was discussing with his members how to help deal with the aftermath of Timber Daddy, a voice with a little mildness and some surprise suddenly came from the side.

Arrow turned his head, and it was none other than the pair of demon swordsmen and apprentices who made the sound. And it was Mr. Capone, who was now showing a slightly shocked expression.

The magic swordsman looked at the sad carpentry apprentice and polyester over there, then at the wooden house, and finally at Arrow. After a long silence, he said in a slightly deep voice, "Mr. Lumber...... Did you really pass away? It was so sudden......"

Looking at this pair of masters and apprentices, Arrow didn't know what kind of expression to use to face them for a while.

On the one hand, this is the real culprit of the master and apprentice's own expense!

But on the other hand, they didn't do anything wrong on their own. In particular, Capone now has a slight sadness on his expression, which is the kind of grief that an ordinary person instinctively expresses after hearing about the death of others.

"Do you know Daddy Lumberjack?"

Arrow answered.

Capone exhaled, nodded slightly, and said, "Touched twice...... That's really a very hearty, very energetic old gentleman. That...... Can I go and see us? ”

Arrow introduced Capone to the carpentry apprentices, and the swordsman followed them into the room, and it was a long time before they walked out again.

"It's really sentimental...... If there's anything I can help with the funeral, please don't hesitate to ask. ”

Capone exchanged a few words with the carpentry apprentices, and then he looked at the simple wooden house in front of him again, and saidβ€”

"And then, while I know it might be a little inappropriate to say this at this time, I don't know if some of the work I've commissioned the old lumber grower to do is now done? Still helpless? ”

"Work?"

These carpentry apprentices looked a little dazed, as if they hadn't thought of such a thing for a while.

Seeing the blank expressions on the faces of these carpentry apprentices, Capone didn't say anything, but nodded sadly, and turned to the polyester next to him with straight eyes. He knelt in a very dashing posture before Polyester, who was now sitting completely on the steps without saying a word, and said, "Mr. Apprentice, you were there when I commissioned the carpentry. Excuse me, is my commission completed? Still can't be done? Mr. Lumber asked me to pick it up today, and I'm really sorry for this scene now, but there are a lot of things to do about the funeral that follow, and I don't want the things I commissioned to be broken or lost in the chaos or something. Thank you for your understanding. ”
