Chapter 949

Bruce's body was parked at home for two days. In these two days, Jason hardly stayed at Bruce's house. He has been running back and forth in the airport and hotel. Jason wants to give Bruce a grand Scottish funeral. He has been busy these days.

On his fourth day back home, Bruce was going to be buried.

Bruce has faith, so the funeral will be held in the church. At 10 a.m., all the people attending Bruce's funeral came.

All the members of the Satan mercenary regiment participated, some of Bruce's relatives and some of Bruce's friends.

Morgan came. In addition to Morgan, he specially came to Seattle to participate in the war. His funeral was also distin, who came from Israel.

The relatives and friends of the Satan mercenary regiment didn't come, and groliov and Frye didn't inform them of their relatives in the United States. The reason is very simple. As a whole, Bruce will die in battle, which means they may also die in battle. In addition to not worrying their families, groliov and Frye don't want their families to affect their revenge.

Not many people attended the funeral in the church. Bruce was a third-generation immigrant, but his family was not large. He had no close relatives and few friends. Except for a few friends who played with Bruce since childhood, his comrades in the army didn't notice.

They were all dressed in black suits, while Mrs. William was wearing a black dress, a black hat and a black veil.

Lucy was dressed the same as Mrs. William. In fact, she didn't marry Bruce and didn't officially marry Bruce in legal proceedings, but Lucy still dressed up as a widow.

As for Jason, his dress is special. He wears traditional Scottish clothes and stands next to Bruce's coffin with a Scottish highland bagpipe.

According to the funeral procedure, the priest would begin to mourn Bruce and then pray for him, but instead of following the normal procedure, the priest signaled Jason that he could start.

Jason was in tears, but he didn't make a sound. When the farewell ceremony, which was part of the funeral, Jason took a step forward, sobbed and said in a loud voice, "Bruce, you are my brother and my best friend. We have an appointment to play bagpipes for you."

Jason took a breath and played the bagpipe.

The bagpipe played, and the weeping sound of the wind flute made people cry.

Jason's everything is very traditional, a traditional Scottish custom. He wears a short hat made of black sheepskin, a white feather on the hat, a black tweed coat, a white shirt inside, a black gray Plaid pleated skirt below, a large cloak with the same black gray plaid, and a wine pot decorated with a black-and-white long tail hanging on his waist, Black gray Plaid Wool stockings, black leather shoes, covered with a white shoe cover.

Jason plays a song called "grace from heaven", which is very common in funerals in Britain and America, and it is really suitable for funerals.

After the tearful bagpipe was played, Jason stepped back, covered his face with his hand and began to cry silently.

The pastor began to introduce Bruce's life. Finally, the pastor read out a paragraph that they had asked to be added.

"Bruce William, he is a warrior. He saved many people with his skills, and his courage and sacrifice made Bruce save his brothers and partners."

Gao Yang bowed his head and listened. When the priest finally finished all the eulogy and blessed Bruce, the people in the church saw Bruce for the last time.

Finally, Bruce's coffin closed. After the priest covered the coffin with a black velvet cover, Gao Yang suddenly realized that he would never see Bruce again, whether alive or dead.

Next, Bruce will be sent from the church to the tomb for burial.

Bruce's grave is a cemetery. His grandparents and father are buried in the same cemetery.

Satan's mercenary regiment had twelve men. Now one was missing and eleven were left.

Lucy is Bruce's widow, and Irene, as a woman, is not suitable for carrying the coffin. Jason stands aside with a bagpipe, so eight people are going to carry the coffin for Bruce.

Originally, there were only four people carrying the coffin, carrying the four corners of the coffin respectively, but Gao Yang had eight of them, and they didn't want to rotate. They all wanted to personally send their brothers to the last leg, so there were eight people carrying the coffin.

Jason played again the gift of heaven, and the eight men raised the coffin and walked out of the church.

Jason who opened the road played the bagpipe and walked in front. They carried the coffin and followed Jason. Behind them were Bruce's relatives and friends.

After stepping out of the church door, Gao Yang and the eight of them stopped and watched Jason pass through the neat line until he stood at the front of the line.

Yes, there is a line outside the church.

Bruce was a soldier. If he died in service, he could cover the national flag, but he died as a mercenary. When the mercenary died, there was no national flag to cover. No matter how brave and great he died, he could not get any honor.

They can't let Bruce cover the flag, but they can give Bruce a funeral for a warrior, a funeral for a Scottish warrior.

There were 74 people outside the church. They had bagpipes, bugles and whistles, or marching drums hanging in front of them. They were all Scottish Highlanders, wearing skirts similar to Jason's.

Jason's army may not be able to fight, but his army has the best Bagpipe Band in the world.

Jason was once a member of the Royal Scottish cavalry guard Orchestra, so he is not one of the best soldiers, but he is one of the best bagpipes in the world.

Playing for Bruce at the funeral is not suitable for accidents, so they know what Jason is busy these days. He is busy inviting his former comrades in arms and asking them to help. At Bruce's funeral, give Bruce a honor that only warriors in Scotland traditionally deserve.

Jason could have invited more than 20 people, all retired bagpipers, not necessarily a formal member of the Royal Scottish cavalry guard Orchestra, but definitely a first-class bagpiper.

Jason's comrades in arms spread the news. When they learned that one of Jason's comrades in arms had died to save him, some people who had been retired for many years and didn't even know Jason came to Seattle. Among these people, there were young people about the same age as Jason and old people in their 60s and 70s. In the end, a total of 74 people came and formed a complete team, But a huge Bagpipe Band.

Most of them came from England, and most of them came from Scotland. Some came from other parts of the United States and other countries in Europe. However, although not all of them lived in Scotland, they were all Scots.

Originally, the musicians who had served in an army in Britain could not only be Scots, but since a funeral is to be held for a Scottish warrior, there are no Englishmen, Irish or Welsh in the orchestra to bury Bruce. They are all pure Scots, otherwise, Their band wouldn't be all wearing short skirts.

When Jason passed through the crowd, the drums sounded. When Jason stood in the front, the bugle and whistle sounded, and then there was the sound of drums.

Bruce's funeral is not a formal military funeral. There is no firing of guns and no salute, but it does not hinder a group of Scots to play the traditional military music for Scottish warriors they do not know.

Jason played the bagpipes again. This time, he played Scottish warriors. Then, more than 50 bagpipes in the whole band played the bagpipes at the same time.

The whole Bagpipe Band began to play Scottish warriors, and then, with the drums, the military band in front began to move forward rhythmically and solemnly.

The band opened the way, raised their eight coffins and followed them. Behind them, there were relatives and friends for the funeral.

The bagpipe is not sounded directly with the mouth, but blows the air bag with the mouth, and then squeezes the air bag to vibrate the reed when the air flows through the wooden pipe.

The music of Scottish bagpipes is born out of military music. The highland bagpipes played by Jason and them are loud and sad, like crying, which is very suitable to see off the blues.

The big band composed of more than 70 people is really shocking.

It takes ten minutes to drive from the church to the cemetery. If you walk, it takes at least half an hour. It takes at least 40 minutes to play the bagpipes all the way. However, Gao Yang didn't plan to transport the coffin to the cemetery in the car, let alone 40 minutes. Even if it took four hours, they had to carry Bruce to the cemetery.

There will be vehicles and pedestrians on the way to the cemetery, and Gao Yang can't let the police close the road because of a funeral. Therefore, they must rush to the cemetery all the way on the road with pedestrians. Fortunately, the route for the funeral specially chose a route with the least pedestrians, and there won't be too many pedestrians and vehicles.

Originally, there were not many pedestrians. When the special and huge funeral procession attracted the attention of many people, someone came out to watch in the roadside house, and the oncoming vehicles would politely stop at the roadside and keep up after the funeral procession passed. However, Bruce's funeral seemed too grand and rare, and gradually, A group of pedestrians gathered behind and on both sides of the mourners. They just wanted to see this rare, artistic and tragic funeral.

It is expected that the funeral procession can not be ignored, because the scale of bagpipers used in the funeral of British royal family members is only so. Of course, there will be soldiers with bearskin hats and red uniforms and honor guards at the funeral of royal family members. The specification will certainly be higher and much higher, but for Scots, They are not rare. They only need a pure Scottish Bagpipe Band.

The music never stopped. The Scottish warrior and the Scottish Highland Cathedral played several tracks in more than 40 minutes until they sent Bruce to the cemetery and played the song of blessing the dead with God's grace for the last time.
