Chapter 175 Cave
"Welcome home, Master."
Three nuns led Emma, Bull, and Edith to welcome them at the door.
Lawrence loosened the reins and said, "Take the sheep back to the sheepfold. Sophia will give Delen a piece of clothing and a pair of warm sheepskin boots." Lawrence
did not enter the house and said directly: "This is Delen. From now on, he will be with us." Let's live together on the second floor. Let's go to the forest later and make more dinner." "
Yes!" The maids standing in two rows began to do things in an orderly manner.
Sophia went into the house, and Lawrence also took Delen and others into the house, and then walked to the sofa and sat down.
Bull walked to the fireplace, poured the goat's milk prepared at noon into a cup, and placed it on the burning fireplace mouth to heat it.
Salil went up to get the weapon for cutting down the tree. Kharan was not so diligent. He sat carelessly on the sofa and casually put one foot up on the coffee table.
Delen looked around. The house here was very clean, not damp at all, and at the same time not so stuffy. It smelled of lava and stone.
Lawrence said: "Sit down, let's take a rest, drink some water, and then go take a look in the forest."
Seeing how comfortable Kharan looked, Delen followed and sat near Kharan.
The sheepskin sofa stuffed with chicken feathers and hay is very comfortable to sit on. It has a tranquility similar to that of a hen hatching eggs. Once you sit down, you won't want to get up.
Delen quickly relaxed and followed Kharan's example, lying on the sofa with his feet stretched out on the coffee table.
From this angle, Lawrence could see the hidden corners of the two witches, and felt a slight sense of discomfort.
"Don't put your feet on the table, put them down."
Kharan retracted his feet nonchalantly and adjusted his body slightly to a comfortable position with one leg resting on the other.
Because of the height, this is indeed more comfortable.
Delenn followed suit.
Lawrence did not reprimand these two unseemly witches, but called Emma to ask about what happened in the manor that morning.
Even though there wasn't much going on, there was still a lot to report.
"While plowing the fields, the rope pulled by the cattle broke quickly, and it took a lot of time to replace the rope." "While clearing the snow,
Ai Ali fell. She told me that she wanted to help in the kitchen with cooking. I agree."
"There were no problems with the new dogs before. Today, a dog suddenly killed the chicken after seeing it walking past it. Now the Snow Cave Dog Trainer is teaching the dog a lesson, saying That dog will never be like this again, and I hope to get your forgiveness."
Lawrence nodded, these are normal little things.
If Emma can handle it, she won't need to interfere with everything, and will have more time to do other things.
When there are more people, management rights must be distributed to people you trust.
Sophia and Salil are both very suitable managers, and those at the lower level are people like Emma who are slightly closer to normal thinking.
Men also need to cultivate some trustworthy men. After all, most things in this region require men to take the lead.
Both Manderkru and Seravan are available, and the cart driver and farmer have recently been living the life of a small boss.
Lawrence suggested: "In a few days, go down the mountain and ask Friesen if his child can come over and help me with things. Some things are better cultivated from an early age." Bull came over with hot goat milk,
" Let me do this, I run fast." Lawrence said: "Okay, the snow has begun to melt in the past few days, and the road is a bit difficult to walk. You can ride the sheep down the day after tomorrow when the ground is stiff and tell Friesen the news. , give him some time to think about it."
"Let his child come here because I need people to work here, and he can learn a lot of useful knowledge here."
Lawrence's control over the mountain is still weak, and he needs to win over some people. It also requires more labor and reputation among the barbarians.
Letting Beow, who is afraid of him, join him not only to strengthen negotiations with the Friesen family, but also to gain respect among the young barbarians.
Young people are the future. There are not many adult men among the Pumixiu people anymore, only many boys who are quickly shouldering the burden of survival.
In order to take care of these high-quality soldiers and people, Lawrence said: "If any young children in the town are injured, you can come to me." "
Yes! Master." Bull agreed.
Bull served hot milk to Delen and Kehalan, as well as Sophia and Salil who had not come down yet.
Delenn, like Lawrence, picked up the hot milk and took a sip, and immediately fell in love with this rich and fresh water.
Kehalan finished the drink quickly and said with a big mouth: "One more drink!"
Lawrence scolded: "There is only one cup a day! There are very few dairy goats now. If you drink more, the children will have nothing to drink!"
Kehalan said indifferently: "It's not like they have no milk to drink. Why are they fighting with us?"
Lawrence didn't reason with Kehalan, and she couldn't listen to him.
Many women in the manor are also giving birth. In the future, there will be more newborns in the manor, so some goat milk powder needs to be stored in advance.
The population increase requires resettlement, food, new wooden houses, and new farmland.
Once Sophia and Saryl came down, Delenn put on new shoes and clothes.
Delen's problem is the same as Kharan's. He is used to the cool clothing in tropical environments, and he will be very repelled when wearing heavy clothes.
But if it's a cloak-like coat, there won't be much of a problem. They themselves know whether the weather is cold or not.
After putting on new shoes, Delen felt as if he was flying when walking on the ground outside. He said happily: "I like these! I like it here!"
Lawrence carried the ax, "As long as you like it, let's go to the forest to help chop some wood."
Khalan holds a spear, and she also has the strength to ripen the crops, so no physical work is required.
Lawrence quickly led the people to the location on the other side of the river.
Several people crossed over on the logs. The river had been frozen for a long time. In order to make it easier to cross the river when there was no ice, they directly lifted two large logs here and lowered them to make a simple bridge across the river.
The river here is not very fast in summer, so there is no need for such a good bridge for the time being. The main thing is not to get your shoes wet.
Lawrence walked towards the mountain wall where he had planned to build a blacksmith shop. He looked at the big trees around him and at the mountain wall more than fifty meters high in front of him.
Suddenly, Lawrence found himself underestimating Delenn's abilities.
If it were Delen, he could develop the mountain in front of him more perfectly!
The land outside can be used more perfectly, and the space inside can also be reinforced and expanded by relying on the ability to control rock and soil!
An internal space can be dug out in the mountain. It is extremely convenient for villagers to live in it to keep out cold, wind and rain, to protect against wild beasts and invasions, or to work in rainy, snowy and windy weather.
