Chapter 47 The work inherited
is different from the funerals of other people in the town.
Hongyue did not host Finn's funeral as usual.
She gave all the work to Lindsay, who would maintain the entire funeral process.
So that afternoon.
Lindsay headed into the woods herself and found a towering, sturdy black spruce. Then he invited Joel to help, and he personally built a strong and thick black coffin for Finn.
Follow normal procedures.
Those who died early in the morning could be buried in the evening.
But in order to show his respect for his teacher, Lindsay chose the highest-level funeral ceremony.
He kept Finn's coffin in the front hall for three days.
He will also stay here for three days, watching over his body like a blood heir.
In the concept of death school, death does not mean the end of eternity, but the beginning of a new journey.
And the period before the body is buried.
It is the last moment when the soul of the deceased remains in the world and prepares to travel in death.
With this philosophy in mind, Lindsay gathered the townspeople the next day.
He planned to distribute the daily necessities in the house to other townspeople according to the teacher's wishes under the witness of Finn's soul that had not yet left.
Someone came over early this morning.
When Lindsay greeted the townspeople who came, he found that most of them carried money bags.
If you want to take the distributed things home, it is understandable to take a bag, but with money...
Lindsay has no idea of accepting the memorial ceremony.
While waiting for other townspeople to arrive one after another.
Ju discovered Lindsay's idea and quickly pulled him to the corner, whispering only in a voice that could be heard by each other: "
Brother Lin, you usually only host funerals, and you may not understand what happens behind it."
"It's true in the town. There is a custom of distributing the deceased's relics, but this is usually not free."
Hearing this, Lindsay did not react for a moment:
"This... you don't have to charge money, right?"
Ju said very seriously He nodded:
"Yes, and it is usually handled in the form of an auction."
Lindsay still couldn't believe it:
"Really charging money?"
Ju's attitude was still firm:
"Brother Lin, why did I lie to you about this matter? !"
"Although I don't understand the logic behind this, this is indeed how it is done in this town." "
..."
Ju's attitude made Lindsay think seriously.
It didn't take long for him to react.
For a single old man like Finn who lives alone, if he dies, his belongings will be given away unconditionally. So assuming that there are other elderly people with such conditions, it is easy to attract people with evil intentions.
On the contrary, the auction method can not only maintain the value of the items.
At the same time, it can also protect the safety of other people living alone to a certain extent.
After thinking about this, Lindsay quickly thanked Ju:
"Ju, thank you for reminding me."
Ju scratched his head shyly:
"It's nothing, I just reminded you, it's not a help. "
..."
It didn't take long.
The surrounding townspeople have almost arrived.
Lindsay followed what Ju said and auctioned off all the pots, pans, tables, chairs and benches left by Finn.
These items are cheaper than regular second-hand items.
People are accustomed to this rule, the scene is kept in order, and they are highly motivated to buy.
In fact, Finn lived in poverty and did not leave many relics. But because there are a lot of townspeople coming here, and the auction of each item takes a while.
The final result was that Lindsay was busy from morning to afternoon, with almost no time to rest except for lunch.
The auction of Finn's relics didn't end until the sun was about to set.
At this time, Ju came out of nowhere and handed Lindsay a roasted rabbit leg.
"Brother Lin, thank you for your hard work."
Lin Dao thanked him, took the rabbit leg and took a bite immediately.
When Anna next to her saw this scene, she also walked up and thoughtfully handed Lindsay a bottle of water.
"You've been talking here all day, drink some water."
Lindsay also took it and thanked him:
"I'm really bothering you today."
"If I was the only one, I'm afraid it would be difficult to accomplish many things."
Ju took the initiative to step forward. Come to help, Anna, as the lord's spokesperson, is here to supervise the smooth progress of the entire auction.
After finishing this simple dinner, Lindsay began to clean up the somewhat messy house.
Anna and Ju also had their own things to do. They probably helped Lindsay clean up and left one after another.
After seeing off her two friends, Lindsay returned to the cabin alone.
He looked around.
The only thing left in the empty front room was the fireplace and Lindsay's own chair, which Finn had bought specially for him three years ago.
"..."
Lindsay moved a chair and sat with the teacher's body for a while.
When it was getting late, he came to the glass greenhouse behind the wooden house. It was no different from before.
"Let me help Mr. Finn complete his work."
Lindsay sighed in a low voice and began to count the things in the greenhouse.
Because Lindsay comes every three days to help take notes, he is no stranger to the plant distribution here.
Follow the experiment log left by Finn.
He started by watering a few specific plants in the greenhouse.
Then the classification was carried out and the three most important plants at present were found: winter wheat, cabbage, and potato.
In the past, most of the crops grown in remote frontiers were brought from other worlds, and most of them were temperate zone crops. Fenn only helped them develop certain cold resistance characteristics on the basis of the original ones, so that the yield of these crops would not be seriously reduced.
And these three new crops are completely different from the previous ones.
They all have a high tolerance for cold weather simply because they come straight from the wild and have not been domesticated. Therefore, even if it can tolerate low temperature environments, it still lacks in yield, insect resistance, and disaster prevention.
Finn's efforts are to make up for this situation.
But when the job is handed over to Lindsay, the situation becomes quite troublesome.
He is not a member of the Life School.
There is no corresponding skill, and there are only a dozen of each plant now. This kind of cultivation is too difficult.
The first step is to breed.
At the same time, continue to search for other plants in the hidden border, and try to replenish the number as much as possible, and then slowly cultivate more detailed types.
With this thought in mind, Lindsay walked to a corner of the greenhouse.
He followed his memory and rummaged through the cabinets, and soon found the place where Finn stored the seeds.
"This can is...yes, it's winter wheat."
"Then this, where's the cabbage?"
Lindsay began to be busy in the greenhouse.
He roughly calculated the reproduction time, cultivation quantity, and seed harvest rate of each plant. He also calculated the approximate time spent and planned the cultivation process.
As a result, the night gradually deepened.
Lindsay was so immersed in her work that she barely noticed the passage of time outside.
That's when.
In the front hall where Finn's body was placed, there was a sudden sound of an object falling to the ground.
