Chapter 186: Pig Friends and Dog Friends
In the forest, two men moved a piece of wood from a distance.
The wood was quickly placed close to the cabin, and a lot of wood was already piled up outside the barely half-built barbarian longhouse.
The wooden fence outside the forest camp has been demolished, and the demolished logs have already been erected into multiple barbarian longhouses.
The more than 20 new arrivals quickly found accommodation and were quickly assigned jobs nearby.
Lawrence was practicing bow and arrow with Sophia when he heard shouts in the distance.
Everyone looked into the distance, it was Beow.
Beow quickly ran to the vicinity of the manor and shouted something to the Pumixiu and Durila people outside.
Lawrence and Sophia quickly went over to check on the situation.
Beow ran to Lawrence with excitement and shouted excitedly: "We killed a big pig. It was so big, as tall as a house! We can't move it!" Lawrence asked: "
Reg Didn't Luo come back?"
Beow was still very excited, "They are all cutting up the big pig. Let me come back and call people, but we can't move it!"
Lawrence has been tired of eating potatoes recently, and now there is no Wheat for making bread and chickens cannot be killed anymore, so they can only rely on the harvest of hunting to improve their food every day.
"Emma, take people over there, take thirty women and five men." "
If there is any, bring back some fresh pig blood in a wooden barrel."
"Bring some tools, baskets and ropes, There are also knives for cutting."
Emma smiled and said: "Yes."
Soon Emma went to call people, and the people she called were Pumi Xiu and some Duruila people she knew.
In addition to the thirty-five people requested by Lawrence, he also brought some children who had nothing to do.
There are currently one hundred and five people in the manor, mostly women and children.
Men mainly work in logging camps, and some are responsible for heavy physical labor such as plowing. Women are responsible for various farm work, and sometimes they are used as men.
The most priority use of men is fighting, but now everyone would rather farm than fight, and the sense of resistance has weakened a lot.
After the great disaster, people want stability, and now is the best time for development.
Sofia asked: "Should we go over and take a look?"
Lawrence said: "No, don't underestimate Reglo's abilities, and Emma is actually very powerful."
Sofia nodded and continued with the bow and arrow in her hand. Go practice shooting.
Salil didn't need Lawrence's instructions. She had already gone to boil water for cooking with Bull and the shepherdess. When the pork came, she could wash the pot directly.
Lawrence walked back to the manor and was about to go into the house to rest. At this time, he found the puppy Doug running around near Edith again.
This puppy was ostracized by other big dogs, and since Salil rarely fed it, she naturally got close to Etty who fed it.
However, Etty also had no time to care about it, and quickly kicked aside this troublesome and barking puppy.
The puppy rolled down several times, quickly got up and screamed in grievance.
The more it calls like this, the more annoying it becomes.
Lawrence squatted down and called to the puppy: "Doug, come here."
Doug quickly ran over happily and stuck out his tongue to lick Lawrence's fingers.
Lawrence did not let the puppy lick his fingers, but only touched its head.
The hair on Doug's head is one part brown and one part white. He actually looks quite cute and well-behaved, but everyone is very busy and has no time to take care of this puppy.
Brick mainly trains puppies and older dogs with potential. Puppies like Doug who always like to bark and bark will soon be ignored.
Mainly because it was left to Salil in the first place, Brick didn't dare to talk to Salil, so he ignored the puppy.
Lawrence sighed: "I thought you would die soon, but I didn't expect you to live longer than Doug." "
I didn't want to raise a dog at all, and I didn't have time to raise a dog." Lawrence sighed, stood up and said: "Forget it, I'm not nervous about food now. It's okay to give you an extra mouthful of food."
"Follow me, come here."
Lawrence greeted Doug, and the puppy Doug ran over obediently and held on tightly. followed Lawrence.
This dog is the smartest animal Lawrence has ever encountered, and is more obedient than chickens and crows.
Crows would run away after taking a bite all day long, and would only come over to see if they wanted to eat. However, this puppy did not undergo much training and could understand various commands in less than a month.
Just let it come and it will come quickly.
Lawrence went to the kitchen and found Salil who was cooking. "Saryl, give me something that Doug can eat."
Salil looked around and leaned over to take out a bowl from the cupboard.
"Here, can this be eaten?" Lawrence took it and looked at it, and found that it was fish intestines...
"Can dogs eat this?" Lawrence frowned and looked at Salil.
Salil was even more confused than Lawrence, "This is also meat. Why can't you eat it? Lawrence is so good to this dog. I've never seen you beat it." Lawrence listened to
Salil's accusation and brought The puppy standing at the door goes out.
"Doug, come here."
Doug quickly ran out with Lawrence, left the cabin and squatted outside in a sunny place.
Lawrence poured the fish intestines on the ground, and Doug quickly lowered his head and ate it. It looked very delicious.
"That's right. At this time, other people keep dogs for work or food. Although I didn't treat you well, I didn't treat you as a dog that was in the way. Subconsciously, I still treated you as a pet dog. "
Doug the puppy was eating the fish intestines hard. The food he usually eats is much worse than this. It's basically garbage that humans can't eat.
Lawrence had no expectations for this dog. There were already hunting dogs in the dog pen and sled dogs used to pull carts in winter.
Sled dogs can carry heavy loads even in spring and summer, and dogs can also be used to pull carts here on the mountain.
The strength of one dog is not very great. If more than ten dogs are put together, a carriage loaded with wood can be pulled.
Lawrence not only has Doug as a puppy, but also has a good relationship with the three sled dogs. He often takes several sled dogs for walks and has fun.
In the evening, the teams that went out began to return one after another. The women were carrying baskets full of pork, while the men were carrying trophies such as bones and pork knuckles.
Reglo and a man carried a log with a bloody pigskin hanging from it.
What we hunted was a wild boar, which was smaller than the large wild boar we encountered before. From the fur on its abdomen with a row of heads, we could tell it was a sow.
It was not easy to preserve food during this period. Lawrence quickly put more than half of the pork and pork bones into the warehouse, and the remaining four to five hundred kilograms of pork were used to reward everyone.
The people in the manor ate from the pot first, including Reglo and the heroes of the hunting team, followed by the maids and the men working in the lumberyard, and then the serfs and slaves who came back from carrying the pork.
Order in the manor has gradually been formed, from the order of eating that everyone agrees on, to gradually spreading to various places.
The next day Lawrence called for the mistresses of the latest families.
"There are two hundred kilograms of pork here. Take it to the blacksmith and Friesen. You can rest in the village for a while and come back before dark for dinner." "Tell the blacksmith that I want five hoes and five
axes. I will exchange grain with him in the summer."
Lawrence has prepared endless amounts of pork. These pork can only be eaten in one meal. If you eat every ton, you will not be able to last for three days, and it will also reduce the quality of life in the future. and a sense of expectation, so it cannot be used in this way.
These pork can be used to win over more people and allow more Pumixiu people to have a comparison.
The Pumixiu women quickly descended the mountain.
People in the town of Pumixiu at the foot of the mountain are also curious about life on the mountain, and these women who had eaten yesterday will soon describe the things here in detail.
Lawrence took the opportunity to build a few more barbarian longhouses. Now he has planted fifteen acres of potatoes on the manor. In addition, the land in the forest is also being expanded. With wheat and other crops, there will be a harvest this summer and autumn. A very good harvest.
When the women came back in the evening, they brought back a woman from a family in the village. This woman had six children, ranging from eight to one year old, and she was pregnant with one more.
Children eat a lot, and this woman without her husband can no longer feed her children. After her fellow villagers spread the word that they can have enough food on the mountain, she finally chose to join the family.
The manor's population has officially expanded to 112 people.
The newly arrived families were managed by Emma and Bull. Although the number of Pumixiu people was not as good as that of the Durila people, they had a higher status in the manor and were generally free men and serfs.
Except for the two stewards Navia and Brielle, the rest of the Durila people are slaves.
Reglo controls a hunting team with fighting capabilities, which are basically all powerful men.
Seravan leads the Durila men, a group of bloodless men who have no sense of existence and usually just build houses and farm land.
Lawrence mainly directed these people to build the manor, and soon built the first cathedral in the manor.
The location of the church is a former stone house, now converted into a large classroom that can accommodate seventy people.
When Lawrence led people to describe the existence of God in the church, the puppy Doug, who was sleeping behind the house, felt something and quickly stood up and looked into the distance.
A cool mountain breeze was blowing around him, and Doug looked towards the river in the distance. The sounds of frogs and bugs were constantly making noise near the river.
The puppy Doug discovered something and quickly went around to the south gate and ran south along the wooden bridge and the wall outside the manor.
Not long after, Doug saw a plump little animal about the same size as himself and about the size of a hen by the river.
"Humph..." The chubby little wild boar stood motionless on the river beach, staring at the puppy like a wooden man.
Doug looked at it from the spot, four or five meters away from the two sides.
After staring for a long time, Doug shouted: "Woof!"
