Chapter 6: Orphaned Again
Upon hearing the news, Liu Yuan quickly stood up and threw the mail armor and the tools in his hand to the ground. The tiny iron rings jingled and scattered all over the ground, and Old Parker sighed helplessly.
When he ran back home, there were already several people in the room, including Butler Balin and the kitchen maid Leia. The one who had just informed Liu Yuan was Leia's son Leo. Another person in the room was Bachelor Wells. Balin was so influential that he was able to invite the Bachelor to treat Bulma.
Leia took Liu Yuan's hand and said, "Galon, you're back. Bulma suddenly fainted just now, and the bachelor is treating her." Liu Yuan didn't say anything, but just stood quietly aside.
Finally, Bachelor Wells came out and said helplessly: "Her illness is very serious and it is beyond my ability. You should stay with her more! I will go back and prepare some poppy milk for her, which will make her feel better." Then he looked at Liu Yuan silently, turned around and left, and Balin followed him.
Leia patted Liu Yuan on the shoulder and said, "Galon, you should spend more time with Bulma! I'll go get you some food."
Liu Yuan sat by the bed and held Bulma's hand. He could feel Bulma's vitality slipping away. Bulma's health had been deteriorating over the past year. Years of hard work and multiple miscarriages had greatly damaged her health.
Liu Yuan reached out and smoothed Bulma's frown. As an old man with a mental age of over a hundred, he had seen a lot of birth, aging, illness and death. But every time he faced such a scene, he was very sad. Although they had not been together for a long time, this woman really loved him like her own child.
Liu Yuan curled up in her arms, gently hugged her and fell asleep. He had no choice, his body would enter a forced sleep for about ten hours every day. As long as the time was up, even if there was a fire in front of him, he would jump into it.
When he opened his eyes again, Bulma had woken up. She was smiling as she hugged Liu Yuan and spoke softly to Balin. Balin, with red eyes, held a wooden bowl and used a spoon to feed Bulma a milky white medicine. It was obvious that the two had a deep affection for each other.
Seeing that Liu Yuan woke up, Balin put the medicine bowl aside and said, "Galon, it's good that you woke up. This is poppy milk prepared by the bachelor. Feed her a little only when she is in unbearable pain. Remember to only feed her a little! I have something to do, so I'll leave first." As the castle's steward, he was very busy, and the Earl would ask him to do things at any time.
Liu Yuan nodded and took the wooden bowl. This thing is addictive and can be considered a drug in this world. This is normal. Even in the 21st century, hospitals still inject morphine into some seriously ill patients to relieve pain. He picked up the tray next to him, which contained the food that Leia had sent. The well-cooked lamb and potato soup was very suitable for Bulma's physical condition. Liu Yuan picked up the wooden spoon and fed Bulma little by little.
Bulma was very weak but could not hide the joy in her eyes. She whispered, "Galon, my child. From the moment you were born, you have never left me for a day. Although you are not my biological child, you are my only child. I'm sorry, I can't stay with you anymore. You have to walk the rest of the way alone. Child, can you promise me? You must live on with strength and carry the hope of Vina and me!" There was a power in her words that struck Liu Yuan's heart directly. He hated this feeling of powerlessness extremely.
Four days later, Bulma passed away. She died peacefully, and Balin gave her a final kiss goodbye. Her heart stopped beating in the arms of her lover, with her most beloved child beside her. After Bulma died, Liu Yuan drove everyone out, and he also firmly rejected Balin's request to arrange a funeral. He said coldly: "Master Butler, you have betrayed the relationship between you. If Bulma hadn't been seriously ill, you wouldn't have come to her room for almost two years! Now as her adopted son, I have the right to hold the funeral in my own way, so please leave!"
Balin stammered for a long time, then let out a long sigh and left dejectedly.
Liu Yuan did not just stare blankly, he did a lot of things in the past two days. He went to the tailor and carpenter, and spent a lot of money to order a coffin and a beautiful dress in a hurry. He also took the time to go to the blacksmith shop to burn some lime.
Liu Yuan hid in the room and changed Bulma into beautiful burial clothes. He tried hard to put makeup on her so that she looked no different from when she was alive. He also carried her into the coffin with his own hands.
Finally, he asked a few servants to help him transport the coffin to the outside of the castle. Liu Yuan knew that all this must have been planned by Bahrain, otherwise even if he was willing to spend money, it would not be easy to borrow a mule cart, and these people would not be so obedient.
Outside the castle, at the edge of a forest, several half-grown children were waiting there. When they saw the mule cart coming, they surrounded it, revealing the graves they had dug behind them. These children were arranged by Liu Yuan before. As long as they dug the pits according to the requirements, they would be given fragrant egg and milk bread. He gave each person a loaf of bread, and these children ate it without caring about the dirt on their hands.
Liu Yuan called the male servants to help put the coffin into the tomb. Then he paid them the agreed-upon fee and sent them back. The groom apprentice also took the mule cart away. He also drove away the children who were originally going to help. He had to complete the next work himself.
The walls of the tomb were built with gravel. Liu Yuan mixed sand and lime to make simple cement to fill the gaps, so that it could be moisture-proof. Then he buried the coffin himself, made a small grave mound according to the custom of his previous life, and sealed it with the remaining cement. Finally, he erected a tombstone in front of the grave, and engraved a few large characters in Chinese on it: Tomb of foster mother Bulma.
He did not kneel or kowtow hypocritically, but just sat there silently for a while. Then he stood up and said, "Bulma, don't worry, I will definitely fulfill your wish for you. Not only will I survive, but I will live well, better than anyone else." After saying that, he left without looking back, and the setting sun cast a long shadow behind him.
Liu Yuan returned to his room and looked around the place where he had lived for six years. He collected some things that he could use and gave the rest to some familiar servants. After all, this room would soon be assigned to someone else, so he simply moved to the blacksmith shop. He quickly adjusted his mindset and returned to his busy work.
Old Parker originally wanted to say a few words of comfort, but seeing his state, he didn't say anything more.
A few days later, the blacksmith shop had finished the armor ordered by Sir Bandier. After being polished, the armor shone brightly in the sun. In order to save a lot of costs, Old Parker generously added a breastplate-like design on the front and back of the mail armor.
When Sir Bandir received the news, he did not expect that his armor would be made so quickly. Bandir was born a commoner and was originally the captain of the guard of the Celtigar family fleet. He was canonized as a knight by the earl only because of his own efforts and enough merits. He was a knight with only the title but no fiefdom. Even so, he made a class leap. Because of his working environment of serving on a ship, and perhaps also for the consideration of his wallet, he chose this set of light and high-quality mail armor.
