Chapter 223 The Road to Happiness
"It's the quietest season of the year again. Let's try sledding today."
Lawrence stood by the window with hot tea in his hands, watching the ice and snow outside.
After entering the house, Delen took off his bearskin coat, walked to the fireplace to warm himself by the fire, and murmured: "It's so cold and hot in the winter here." It was very cold
outside, and it was very stuffy inside the house.
Lawrence smiled and said, "How is it? Do your people like it here?"
"They accepted it quickly." Delen just came back from the blacksmith shop. "The people below have clothes and wine to keep out the cold, and the children in the manor also I like to watch the snow outside."
"These are not easy to see in the valley. Bringing them out is the right choice. We should accept winter and cold."
Delen felt relieved after discovering that there were no problems among the tribesmen, and he recognized himself more the choices made.
Lawrence nodded, looked at the bedroom where he and Delen were alone, and said curiously: "Actually, I'm a little curious about why my mother agreed to come out so easily." Lathander has been here for a long time, and he has accepted the life
here very well. nature.
This old lady is the second pure-blood witch, and her strength is definitely not weak.
Lawrence was very curious. He didn't really have high hopes at first, but he didn't expect that his mother-in-law would come out without much effort and hard work.
Delen looked at Lawrence with a smile and blamed Lawrence for not knowing this.
"Mother, didn't she tell you the reason a long time ago?"
Lawrence raised his tea cup and said, "Because I killed the Ug people?"
Delen smiled: "Of course not, it was earlier, mother When I asked you to use crows to contact the witches in Mount Talim, I told you what the witches are most afraid of."
Lawrence quickly recalled some things. In fact, he didn't remember some unimportant things deeply and had long forgotten them.
But things involving witches are definitely not something that can be easily forgotten.
"Lonely?"
Lawrence looked at Delenn uncertainly. Khalan was not caught by fried chicken, but was driven down by loneliness.
Fried chicken is an important inducement. In fact, the more than ten years of lonely life that Khalan has endured is the key factor.
Delen walked to the bar and poured goat milk for himself. He raised the white cup and said before drinking it: "This is it. After I left there, my mother was lonely." After explaining, Delen returned the warm cup
. Drink the hot goat's milk in one gulp.
This time Lawrence completely understood the cause and effect.
Everything was not accidental or destined, but the mountains and walls were gradually moved, causing this series of landslides.
Without bringing Delen out, it would be impossible for Lathander to follow.
The prerequisite for bringing out Delen is that they have the capital to negotiate with the Cloda people and the interpersonal relationships that will not conflict with Delen.
Kohalan and Sariel played corresponding roles respectively, and Lawrence, who was considered a pure-blood wizard at the time, was also a key factor in making Lathander think that Delenn's seduction by a wizard was acceptable and there was nothing that could be done.
Kehalan's joining was purely based on his own strength. As long as he had a favorable material environment and the initiative to approach the witch, even an ordinary person could lure her down.
However, in a barbaric area full of barbarians, neither the Cloda people nor the Pumi Xiu and other barbarians, nor even the southerners outside, could accept this witch like this.
After understanding the cause and effect of all this, Lawrence took the initiative and said: "Well! Don't worry, I will be good to you and your mother!"
"Master!!" Sophia's shout came from downstairs.
Lawrence felt Sophia's excitement and walked towards the door with a smile.
Sophia and Salil came in holding the wood. After entering, Sophia couldn't wait to shout: "Master, we found the things, let's make a swing!" "
Okay." Lawrence led a few people downstairs, "Go and look outside. It's very simple to tie two ropes with wood between two big trees that are closer together." "
But it's so cold outside now, and swinging is not fun. How about we try dog sledding? Right."
Lawrence even wanted to test the role of the sled team. There will be more than three months in the future that will be covered with ice and snow, which is an excellent opportunity to travel to and from the villages faster.
The journey that originally took more than ten days could be shortened to two days with the sled team.
Sofia still wanted to see what the swing was, blinking at Lawrence with big bright eyes full of expectation. Lawrence quickly changed his mind, "Okay, let's make the swing first, and we'll go see the sled team in the afternoon." "
Okay! Thank you, Master!" Sofia quickly thanked Lawrence and hugged Lawrence's chest while wearing thick clothes.
Lawrence quickly led others to make a swing. This thing was of little use to the development of the manor and was mainly for children and women to play with.
Keep everyone happy, use toys and facilities to enhance everyone's happiness, and also contribute to the unity of the manor.
Especially in winter, there are not many things to do besides drinking and playing cards. Relaxing and relaxing occasionally is also a necessary part of life.
In addition to Saryl and Sophia, Khalan and Delenn soon came to help.
The swing was quickly made and Sofia was the first to try it, and Salil was responsible for pushing Sofia.
"Ahhhhh!" Sophia tightly grasped the two ropes of the swing with both hands and shouted loudly with her eyes closed.
Because of the height, every time I floated to a high place, I was scared and wanted to laugh, and it looked like I was smiling happily.
Salil pushed happily, but the bold and careful Saril kept her measure. When she felt it was almost done, she grabbed Sophia's shoulders and stopped Sophia from dangling any further.
Sofia stood up happily, but soon her legs gave out and she was about to fall down.
Lawrence and Salil supported Sophia and said in unison: "Be careful."
"Yeah!" Sophia let go and covered her little nose that was sore from the cold, "It's so fun! Sister Salil, try it, I Let me push you!"
"Okay!" Salil became playful and quickly sat on the swing board.
Lawrence stood aside and watched, followed by Sariel, followed by Delenn, and after Delenn, Khalan. The witches were very interested in this simple toy.
Lawrence looked away and found Emma and Bull looking here too.
"You can also play with this when you are free. In the future, put the snow on the house in front or behind the swing, so that it will be softer when it falls." Emma and Bull said happily after hearing Lawrence's permission
: "Yes, thank you Master."
Lawrence smiled and said: "I just have nothing to do these days. In addition to the swing here, I also made two swings in the forest and in the town, so that the children will have a place to play and will not make noise at home. No."
Bull said: "No, everyone is obedient."
Lawrence said: "Then consider going on the swing as a reward. Obedient children can play first." The
incident on the swing made Lawrence realize that everyone was lacking in entertainment.
Apart from anything else, the witches around you should always be more exciting.
For food, clothing, housing, transportation, and clothes, there is currently no solution. There are too many materials needed to process clothes, and it is not just fur and thread.
Lawrence quickly thought of something that would improve his quality of life.
If there is anything that can directly improve happiness, it must be what you eat.
Fried chicken is no longer unusual, so it’s time to make the other two things that I haven’t had time to cook.
Pork stewed with vermicelli, chicken stewed with mushrooms.
These two delicacies are definitely the most suitable for this kind of snowy weather.
The pigs can be wild boars raised by the Cloda people. This kind of pig is not suitable for large-scale breeding, so it should be eliminated first.
Chickens can also choose young chicks from the chicken coop, which not only saves food and space, but also warms people's hearts!
Just do it as soon as you think of it. The first step is to find a container that can press the vermicelli.
"Dren! Come here to help!"
Lawrence called to Delen who was watching others swinging.
Delen asked: "What happened?"
"Good thing!"
