Chapter 23 Lumberjack 18
"Owen and I encountered a herd of wild beasts on the way back to the lumberyard from the forest farm. I escaped back by luck, and Owen was trampled to death by the wild beasts."

"We went back to look for it afterwards, but we didn't find Owen's body." Bud said anxiously.

Hearing this, Jack frowned: "Well, I see."

Although Jack's attitude was weird, seeing that Jack had no intention of punishing, Bud's tense heart also relaxed.

"If you have nothing to do, go and prepare dinner. Remember to prepare a big meal. I want to entertain guests." Jack said to the four of them.

"Okay, Mr. Jack." Su Tiantian responded hastily.

Su Tiantian glanced at Fang Muge, seeing that Fang Muge had no intention of preparing dinner, she turned around and walked to the kitchen alone.

Bud looked at Jack who obviously thought they were in the way, and followed Su Tiantian into the kitchen.

Fang Muge glanced at the place where she threw the broom out of the corner of her eye, but saw nothing unusual.

Seeing that Fang Muge didn't move, Wei Li also remained motionless.

Jack, who was discussing with the man in black, saw the two people who were like wood, and said dissatisfiedly, "You two have nothing to do? Have you completed all the tasks I assigned?"

"The task has been successfully completed." Willy said to Jack in a fawning manner.

Jack paused, then walked towards the wood pile: "Okay, let me see if the wood you cut is up to standard."

Willie immediately went forward to explain to Jack which lumber he felled and which lumber Bud felled.

Jack said unappreciatively: "No need to introduce, I can tell who cuts which wood at a glance."

Hearing this, Viri was very embarrassed.

While Jack and Willie were talking, Fang Muge looked inquiringly at the man in black beside the coffin.

Sensing Fang Muge's gaze, the man in black slightly lifted his black hood in Fang Muge's direction, exposing the upper half of his head with only bones left.

Looking at the other's empty eye sockets and empty head, Fang Muge's pupils shrank slightly.

Seemingly satisfied with Fang Muge's reaction, the black-robed man twitched his mouth and gave a terrifying smile.

When Viri followed Fang Muge's line of sight, the man in black reached out and pulled down the black hood to cover the abnormal body parts.

Willie, who saw nothing, was at a loss.

Jack started to chase away the two idlers in the yard again: "If you don't want to cook, you go and prepare some white cloth and candles to decorate the yard. I will hold a funeral for Carlton tonight."

Jack's words were to admit that the bone corpse in the coffin was Carlton.

Now, Fang Muge and Wei Li have no reason to refuse, they can only follow the order to find the white cloth and candles.

After avoiding Jack's sight, Willie stared at Fang Muge for a while, and finally couldn't help asking: "What do you think Jack and the man in black are going to do to Carlton's body?"

Fang Muge replied without emotion: "Hold the funeral."

Willie choked: "Do you really believe Jack's words?"

Fang Muge didn't respond.

"You're not curious..." Wei Li began to encourage Fang Muge.

Before Wei Li could finish speaking, Fang Muge interrupted: "I've found the candle, you go find the white cloth."

Wei Li looked at the large handful of candles that Fang Muge took out from the cabinet, his face froze, and then reluctantly went to prepare the white cloth for the funeral.

After Fang Muge and Wei Li arranged the main hall and yard as the funeral place, Su Tiantian and Bud also prepared the dinner.

Jack politely invited the man in black to enter the restaurant for dinner.

A dinner was extremely depressing, and everyone followed the rule of not talking when eating.

Maybe it was because the dinner was extraordinarily delicious, or maybe it was the fear of wasting food yesterday, the dinner was cleaned up by a few people, and the plates were as bright as others.

After the meal, Jack deliberately went into the kitchen to check. Seeing that there were still half of the ingredients in the kitchen, Jack nodded in satisfaction.

It was completely dark at this moment, and the forest was silent, but the white cloths and burning candles hanging in the lumberyard compound were really creepy.

Jack began to drive away the four players: "You guys should rest early tonight, get enough energy and wait for tomorrow's outstanding lumberjack assessment."

"Remember, no matter what you hear, don't come out to disturb me tonight." Jack added darkly.

The four of them nodded in agreement, and then they each washed up, and entered the resting room and closed the door.

Su Tiantian didn't sleep well last night, but took advantage of the afternoon to make up for it, so she was still full of energy, so she popped her head out of the quilt and whispered to Fang Muge, "Great, there is only one day left for tomorrow." gone."

"En." Fang Muge responded, thinking in his heart when the witch would make small movements with the broom that disappeared.

Su Tiantian originally wanted to say something more, but seeing Fang Muge's attitude of inadvertently chatting, she silently shut her mouth again.

After a while, a strange singing voice suddenly sounded outside the house, and the voice sounded like Jack.

Fang Muge turned his eyes and stared at the crack of the door, seeing light flashing by from time to time.

It was agreed to hold a funeral for Carlton, Jack wouldn't be singing and dancing outside, would he?

Just as he was thinking, Fang Muge suddenly heard a long and mournful howl, the voice was a bit like Carlton.

Is this the ceremony at the funeral that enlivened Carlton?

Before Fang Muge could figure it out, another hoarse and old female voice sounded: "Jack, I handed Carlton to you, and that's how you treat him?"

Fang Muge raised his heart slightly, and the witch came out.

Outside the house, several people were at war with each other.

"Who released you? How did you get in?" Jack asked in surprise.

"Hehehe," the witch smiled strangely, instead of answering Jack's question, she looked at the man in black behind Jack, "Why are you still hiding your head and showing your tail, and dare not see people?"

The man in black hesitated for a moment, then slowly pulled down the black hood on his head.

After seeing the face of the man in black, the witch was shocked: "It's you! You're not dead yet!"

The man in black didn't speak, but just twitched the corner of his mouth stiffly at the witch.

The witch looked at Jack and the man in black with fire in her eyes: "Since you are not dead, I will execute you, a traitor, together with Jack today, to avenge Carlton!"

After all, the witch waved her broom and launched a magic attack on Jack and the man in black.

Jack and the man in black shot at the same time to intercept the witch's magic.

"Avenging Carlton, where do you have the qualifications?" Jack said disdainfully.

A chaotic fight ensued.

After a long time, the sound of fighting outside the house disappeared, and the night returned to tranquility.

Fang Muge silently analyzed, judging from the voice, Jack won the final battle.But the witch seemed to have taken an important item from Jack before she escaped with a serious injury, so that Jack was furious and cursed.

As for the man in black, he didn't make a sound from the beginning to the end, so he doesn't know what's going on.

There was a knock on the door, and Jack's angry voice came from outside: "Lucy, Ashley, did you two let the witch in?"

Su Tiantian subconsciously looked at Fang Muge, it was impossible to go out, but do you want to answer Jack's question?

Fang Muge was silent.

Su Tiantian hesitated for a moment, then also pretended to be dead.
