take the lamb to school

Chapter 48 Carpenter

Yiling went to Minsaru's southern district alone.He is no stranger to this place. When he was still Xueqiu, he would use the South District as a transit point every time he entered and exited the palace.

——Here is Uncle Pete and his wagon full of fruit.

Yi Ling took down the detailed address on the document, but he wanted to drop by Uncle Pete, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Unfortunately, Uncle Pete was not at home.Ealing saw only his two daughters playing hide-and-seek with other children in Fountain Square.

The children's laughter travels far and has the magic power to make people feel better.

A trace of nostalgia appeared on Yi Ling's face.

He was so carefree when he was a child.

Yi Ling watched silently for a while, then turned around the fountain square and set off for his final destination.

The carpenter lived in a row of shabby little houses.

Yi Ling looked at his clothes—it was too bright and out of place here, so he walked into a dark alley, and less than a minute later, when he came out again, there was no Yi Ling, but a small snow-white fur. The cat is gone.

The kitten hopped up to the roof and watched everything in the house through a dusty window.

The inside is full of wood to be processed. A middle-aged man in a thin tight jacket and an apron is bending over to plan the rough surface of the wood with a plow planer. A bunch of shavings fell on the ground, and the man planed for a while He stopped and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Yi Ling's heart was beating nervously, he jumped to the window and pressed his whole face against the glass, only then could he see the man's appearance clearly.

The man was tall, with regular features, shiny brown hair, and narrowed eyes. He accidentally raised his head and glanced at the window. He seemed to have spotted Yi Ling. He paused, then put down the plane in his hand and slowly moved towards The window comes.

Yi Ling didn't back down, he waited for the man to come to him, opened the window, one person and one cat faced each other, the man wiped the wood chips from the corners of his eyes, opened his eyes, Yi Ling tilted his head——

It turns out that this person's eyes are so big!

At the same time he was inevitably disappointed, because the man's eyes were gray.

Gray eyes, brown hair, nothing like Ealing.

But he thought again: His Royal Highness inherited his green eyes from his grandmother, so maybe he too.Even if it wasn't, maybe he inherited it from a mother he had never met.

The carpenter wiped his hands on the apron, and carefully touched Yiling's head.

"Hey little guy, where are you from? Never seen you before."

Yi Ling let out a "meow".

"I'm from Aira."

Of course the carpenter didn't understand, he turned around and went into the kitchen, took out a piece of soft bread from the cupboard, broke it into fine crumbs, put it in front of Yi Ling and invited him to eat.

Yi Ling looked up at the carpenter, a loving smile appeared on the man's face.

So Ealing licked all the bread, although he was not hungry.

The carpenter clapped his hands in relief, and went to the plow to plan his wood, but he would look at the window from time to time, and he smiled when he saw that the beautiful kitten was still there.

After half an hour, the carpenter swept all the shavings to the corner and took another piece of wood. When he looked at the window again, the kitten had disappeared, only the wind had blown the glass embedded in the window. .

The carpenter sighed in disappointment, shook his head and continued to concentrate on his work.

At this time, Yi Ling changed back to her original appearance, standing near the intersection and striking up a conversation with an old lady.

"I've heard there's a carpenter called Tullio who's very good here, isn't he?"

The aunt looked around Yi Ling up and down, and said with a smile: "Yes, Tulio's craftsmanship is really good. Son, are you looking for him to make furniture?"

Yi Ling thought for a while and said, "No, I want to learn from him."

"Learn a craft?" The aunt turned pale with shock, and hid in a corner by pulling Yi Ling's arm, "Son, think again! Tullio will never be a qualified master!"

"Why? Isn't he very skilled?" Yi Ling asked.

"Good craftsmanship doesn't mean good character. In fact, in this street, the most difficult person to get along with is Tulio!" The aunt shook her eyebrows, "He is withdrawn and weird, always cold-faced, and we are all afraid of him! "

"what?"

Yi Ling frowned, was that kind smile his hallucination?

"So... is Turio doing the same to his family?" Ealing asked.

"He has no family," said the aunt. "Tulio's parents are long dead."

"What about the wife and children?"

The aunt lowered her voice: "Tulio is an old bachelor. With his bad character, no girl can look up to him."

Yi Ling was stunned for a moment, and then heard the aunt say: "Actually, if he hadn't been so stingy, he wouldn't have ended up in the current situation. It is said that he saved a lot of gold coins, but look—"

The aunt pointed to the row of dilapidated houses.

"He is not even willing to build a new house. Someone visited his house a long time ago, and the furniture inside is also tattered. I don't know if it has been replaced over the years."

"Oh, look at his window again. It's so dark and unappetizing."

The aunt rebuked a few words angrily, spittle splashed, Yi Ling wiped her face, and bowed to the aunt: "Thank you, aunt, I'll go first."

He felt a little uncomfortable and didn't want to listen any more.

The aunt jumped up behind Yi Ling and shouted loudly: "Son, don't ask him to be your teacher!"

Yi Ling didn't look back, just waved her hand, and walked out of the gloomy street.

His hopes were dashed.

The carpenter was not his father.

As the sky darkened, Yi Ling went straight back to school.

In the dormitory, Bowen hasn't come back yet.Sitting in front of the desk, Yi Ling took out a piece of letter paper that His Highness the Prince had given him.

This kind of letter paper is very special, it is a special communication tool invited by His Highness the Prince.

As long as it is within the boundaries of Minsalu, no matter how far away it is, it can fly to the palace, beside His Royal Highness the Prince.

Logically speaking, such a convenient communication tool should have been popularized a long time ago, but in fact, even Bowen did not own a piece of such stationery.

Bowen explained that this kind of special paper is very expensive to make, and the craftsmanship is unique to the royal family, not just any magician can make it.It is generally used to convey official documents, and the members of the Council must be familiar with it.His father, Count Gould, also had a stack, which he locked in his study.

After hearing this, Yi Ling was trembling with trepidation, and she put all her energy into writing each sheet, fearing that she would make a mistake and waste it.

"Dear Your Majesty:

Today I met the carpenter, he is a good guy in my eyes, but he seems to have a bad reputation.The important thing is that I look nothing like him.I asked his neighbor's aunt who lived near him, and she said he didn't have a wife, so I thought...he couldn't possibly be my father.

But whether he is my father or not, I still miss him a little bit.Because he looks lonely.He reminds me of Uncle Mike. I have been away from Aira for half a year. Will Uncle Mike be lonely living alone in the little red room?Has anyone seen him?

As I write you a note, I'm thinking about how to make Mr. Carpenter's life a little bit happier.How I wish someone could bring a little bit of happiness to Uncle Mike like I did!

Yiling at the desk"
