Chapter 182 Unity
Lawrence squatted near the potato field in the forest, grabbed a handful of dirt, and felt the cold moisture between his fingers.
The melted snow on the mountains moistens the fertile soil near the mountain walls, and flows downstream along different roads into low-lying rivers.
"Now some areas do not need irrigation, and some areas need irrigation, mainly the fields on the hillside and the fields under the mountains." Sophia stood next to
Lawrence, put her little hand on Lawrence's shoulder and said: "It will rain tomorrow, Sister Salil That's accurate."
Lawrence was not so optimistic, dropped the soil in his hand and looked into the distance.
The cold weather has little effect on potatoes and crops. The temperature in the soil is actually not low, and a large amount of waste materials are fermenting in the soil. It is actually better for ice water to seep into the soil and lower the temperature.
Lawrence stood up, walked to a nearby big tree, and rubbed his dirty hands on the bark of the tree to wipe off the dirt.
"Clean up the weeds and calculate the time to trim the hooves of the sheep and cows."
Sophia nodded, "Yes!"
Lawrence explained: "The purpose of trimming the hooves is to protect the hooves of the cattle and sheep. The snow has melted recently. The ground is wet, and it will rain tomorrow. The wet weather will cause the hooves of cattle and sheep to rot and deteriorate." "If the hooves are
rotten, they are basically waiting for death. Whether it is a large wild boar or a Dome sheep, you need to pay attention to these things. ."
Lawrence wanted to train Sophia to be his helper. In addition to calculation knowledge, he would tell her whatever he thought of.
"I remember!" Sophia nodded in agreement.
Lawrence was about to continue to say something, when Sariel suggested: "Lawrence, you don't need your bow and arrows anyway, how about giving it to Sophia? She has good eyesight, maybe she is suitable to be an archer." Lawrence said: "Okay
. , Let’s talk about it later. We have more important things to do these days.”
Sariel nodded, “Okay.”
Kharan asked curiously: “What is it? Going to the Cloda people?”
“ Let’s talk in the afternoon, follow me inside first.” Lawrence walked towards the forest.
Delenn and Kehalan followed. Both women were strong enough to serve as Lawrence's protective shield, both physically and mentally.
Salil and Sophia also walked in, with Salil holding an ax to prevent various accidents.
Lawrence walked towards the mountain wall, also thinking about his own safety.
The most stable alliance at this stage is definitely the family. Although the family is destined to be a special organization with a few people at the core, there must be seven or eight people.
Delenn and Khalan both mastered mysterious powers and became their followers.
Under the manor system, the owner of the manor and the manor's military and technological responsibilities must be on the same page. The safest way is to always live together.
Not every witch sleeps on the second floor. It is the witch who needs to support himself now and in the future.
If Sariel was just a friend living in a house on the mountainside, she would never be able to provide such close protection, sit in the manor 24 hours a day, and not do her best to help every time she encounters trouble.
The same goes for Sophia. If they don't sleep together after raising her for a few years, Lawrence feels that according to his personality, if they live in separate rooms for a long time, he will really raise her as a daughter.
It's very pleasant to get along with Kehalan. It's not only a superior-subordinate relationship, but also a family relationship.
With Kehalan's example, it was natural for Delenn to fit into the family.
Now Delenn, Salil, and Khalan are all his shield girls.
The shield maidens around the lord were either daughters or wives, or the escorts of wives and daughters.
This era is more open than the future, and it is normal for men and women to have something happen between them.
The harsh living environment forces everyone to unite together.
Friendship and loyalty are not suitable for this era. In this era, there is no concept of country and monarch, and the so-called chivalry has not yet entered the mind.
If there really were so many loyal people protecting the Lord, assassinations wouldn't be so frequent.
The last assassination made Lawrence know that he must have people around him who are willing to protect him.
Reguero has an employment relationship, and he can be considered a life-saver. He is a weakened version of Andrew, and is willing to live a peaceful life in the manor.
If Delen doesn't take the initiative to stay, she might go back.
She doesn't have a strong desire to go back, but if no one takes the initiative to persuade her to stay and strongly demands that she stay here, then Delen may feel uncomfortable and leave one day.
Women always feel uncomfortable, in a bad mood, or feel left out.
If you are given a status, these will not be problems, and you will not feel that you are not really needed here.
What's more important is that Delenn is the sexy girl he has always been thinking about, and Lawrence has been thinking about Delenn for more than a day or two.
He has always been very honest, and Saryl, Sophia, and Delenn all understand that.
There was nothing wrong with Lawrence's body or mind, but he just couldn't beat Delen who didn't think about such things.
There is definitely no problem with Kehalan. The main thing is that Lawrence doesn't want to go too far and ignite the flames of the witches, which will end badly for him.
It is said that thirty is like a wolf and forty is like a tiger. If the mountain fire that has been suppressed for more than ten years in Kohalan is drawn out, then he will not be responsible for putting out the fire every day?
Lawrence felt that the cooling-off period of witches protected normal men and wizards. He should follow the laws of nature and not wantonly destroy the balance of nature.
"The two hundred square meters of potato fields have been planted with high-yield potatoes. By summer, we will almost be able to harvest the first batch of potatoes."
Lawrence talked about business. Lawrence was always very serious when he was away from home. "I was thinking about it a while ago, and I thought about the animals in the mountains, and the magma flowing underground. Since there have been a lot of animals in this forest, is there also a mountain spring and hot water that will not freeze in winter?"
" Today we will check carefully to see what else is there besides trees and stones in this forest."
Sofia looked around, followed Lawrence and left the potato field area, heading towards the mountain wall and walking along the mountain. Explore unknown areas through the bushes beneath the walls.
Salil looked at Sophia, "Sofia, do you feel anything?"
Sophia shook her head.
Delen looked at the nearby bushes and forests, "There are traces of prey activity here, this way."
Delen took out a metal machete from his back and chopped off the obstructing branches and vines in front of him.
There are too many obstructive plants nearby, and these plants in the deep mountains and old forests always quickly form a mass when spring comes.
In the summer, it will be even more annoying, and some plants will even drop powder that makes people itchy and painful.
After searching for more than ten minutes, nothing special was found.
Delen caught a snake, chopped it to death, and hung the thick-armed snake on a tree, preparing to take it away when he went back.
Sofia's abilities were never established, and it felt like a treasure hunt, but not quite like it.
Lawrence saw that no one found anything, so he summoned the crow.
"It's time to eat!"
Lawrence called in a special language, hoping that the crow would come quickly.
"It's time to eat!"
After a few seconds of pause, Lawrence called out in the forest again.
The sound vibrated in the forest, startling some birds, but the crows seemed not to be in this noisy forest.
Delenn and Kehalan looked around, and soon Delenn said: "Here we come!"
Lawrence was overjoyed and excited!
Am I really a wizard? !
"Cuckoo!"
"Cuckoo~"
I saw an orange hen flapping its wings and coming quickly, followed closely by big fat chickens and small flying chickens in various white colors!
Forty or fifty flying chickens flew over from the forest and landed overwhelmingly towards a few people.
Sofia quickly held her head and hair with her hands, and Salil also covered her face with one hand.
These flying chickens blew over like a storm, and most of them flew higher than people.
Chicken storm! !
Soon, the chickens landed in front of and behind the group of people unskillfully, and some even tried to land on Kehalan's head, but Kehalan threw them directly to the ground.
Lawrence also protected his face from being touched by the chicken claws.
A group of flying chickens that arrived for dinner quickly began to coo around looking for food.
Lawrence, who originally wanted to call the crows, said calmly: "Let them search here, let's go elsewhere first."
Several people thought this was Lawrence's witchcraft ability, so they followed Lawrence to other places.
The free-range flying chickens quickly dispersed because there was no one to feed them.
There is indeed more food on the ground here than in the chicken pen. The chicken pen has been searched for several days, and this is an undeveloped land with various bugs and grass seeds hidden under the leaves.
Lawrence soon discovered a source of water outside the distant rock wall.
It is an area where stones are piled up, and spring water flows out from under a large stone.
Lawrence looked up and saw that the stone wall above was dry and steep, with no water flowing through it.
"It should be mountain spring water that comes out of the ground. This water quality is usually cleaner than the water in streams."
Delen asked: "Do you want to destroy this stone?"
Lawrence stopped him: "No, we have a more stable one." The water well is not needed for the time being. It will be used here in the future."
After spending a day thoroughly exploring the area, it was determined that the approximate area of the forest was about two hundred acres.
The current development progress is only two to three acres, but Lawrence has more important things to do, and there is no time to develop here for the time being.
After handing over the potato fields to the serfs for cultivation and management, and letting them continue to cut trees in the lumberyard, Lawrence went to his mother-in-law's house and gave some food and clothing to the people in the valley.
After it was over, Lawrence immediately took a few elites down the mountain.
"Lawrence, you're here." Friesen had already taken the guy.
Lawrence nodded, "Let's go! Ambush on the road and kill that idiot Avari!!"
