Chapter 79 As
night fell on the first night, the temperature on the mountain dropped rapidly.
Lawrence brought back a ball of weeds from nearby, threw it on the ground and said, "That's it."
With that, Lawrence turned around and placed the wooden board at the door to block the cold wind and moonlight outside.
Sophia walked to the haystack and squatted down, using branches to search inside.
"No problem, it's all grass that is often fed to the sheep."
Lawrence continued to close the door. This movable wooden door was very troublesome to close. I was so busy these days that I didn't have time to make the door hinge.
Sofia left the haystack, and the two Dom sheep quickly approached and began to pick and choose the leaves they liked to eat.
Even in the winter when it is covered with heavy snow, the mountains are not all branches and stones, there are also some tenacious plants.
Usually these things don't taste good.
Fortunately, rabbits and sheep in winter are not picky about these things. Some of them are good to eat. They will chew on hay and dead vines in the wasteland that they would not normally touch. They will also chew on tree bark and roots when they are very hungry.
Lawrence quickly closed the door and turned around to look at the room illuminated by the fire.
Domu sheep will be very quiet when they are full. Unless they encounter something, they will not bark or move around curiously.
Lawrence looked at Sophia, who was kneeling on the bed, tidying up the animal skin bedding. Her golden ponytail had been let down, and she was very eye-catching in the room.
Lawrence asked: "Is it warm in the house? If it's cold, you can make the fire brighter."
Sofia quickly turned around and said: "No, it's already very warm, warmer than at Salil's place. Master, are you cold?" ?"
Lawrence walked to the side where the wood was placed and squatted down, "I feel very warm too. I'll lay some floors while I have time now."
Sofia quickly sat up and sat by the bed to put on her shoes, "I'll do it Help you."
Lawrence smiled and said: "No, you lie in bed and help me warm the bed, so that I will be very warm when I go in."
Sophia nodded happily, "I know!"
In Lawrence's Following the instructions, Sophia quickly lay down on the bed and covered herself with a soft mattress made of sealskin.
Under Sophia's head was a pillow made of fox fur.
The fox skin was hunted by Lawrence. Later, when Salyl saw Sophia, she thought of the best use and made a big warm pillow for Sophia and herself.
Because it is made into a pillow, it is easier than making it into clothes, and there is no shortage of clothes, but also a pillow worthy of Sophia.
Although Salil made it for herself and Sophia, it is currently considered by Sophia as her own, and Sophia's things are naturally Lawrence's things.
Sofia put her little face on the soft and warm fur pillow, looking sideways at Lawrence who was sitting on a small wooden stool working.
Amidst the flickering light of the fire and the clatter of wooden hammers, I fell asleep unconsciously.
Lawrence doesn't have much wood, only covering an area of more than one square meter, and more areas need to be slowly collected with wood and lumber.
After finishing the work, Lawrence felt the urge to pee. He got up and went to the urine pot to pee. He also glanced at Sophia, who was already asleep.
Lawrence turned his back to Sophia and let out the water as quietly as possible. He tilted his urine on the body of the urine can without making any noise between the water flow and the accumulated water.
This time I didn’t use a chamber pot. Although I made some and planned to sell them, I didn’t want to use them. Salil disliked them, and Lawrence couldn’t find a place to sell them.
"Huh? Maybe you can give one to Doug. Now that Doug can't get out of bed, he probably needs this very much."
Lawrence thought with a sudden move, lifted up his pants and put down his thick coat. "Next time you go to town, give two to Doug. He promised to give me puppies." He
walked to the fire and added some dry branches to weigh it down. The firewood would be completely extinguished after burning for an hour or two. , the indoor temperature will also drop accordingly.
The fireplace in the corner can also be used, but in terms of heating effect, a fire is better, mainly to heat the ground and warm the Dom sheep not far away.
Lawrence washed his hands and checked the ventilation effect of the fireplace. He put his wet hands inside and could feel the flow of cold air.
Lawrence soon returned to the fire to warm himself and think about tomorrow.
The livestock will be brought in tomorrow, and the three slaves also need to be taken care of.
One of them ran away before. Even if the one who ran away didn't freeze to death, he would become the prey of wild beasts.
Lawrence didn't care what happened to the one who ran away. Among the three adults and a child left, only the older woman in her twenties was valuable.
The one that was smaller than Sophia felt useless and useless.
It is not easy for the mother with her child to work, and the environment on the mountain is not suitable for children.
Either stay with Sariel or be sent to the town.
Lawrence quickly thought: Even if there is one more person, the problem of eating will become troublesome.
"That pig can't be raised anymore. If you continue to raise it, it will become thinner and thinner. I will kill the big pig after we go up the mountain tomorrow, leaving three little pigs." "
The meat of the big pig can help Sophia and I and another one or The two of us can spend this winter together, and we can hunt or exchange for some food from Pumixiu Town." "There is
not a big problem with food. Fuel can also be obtained from nearby. I will try to find suitable species nearby tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I also need to have my own farmland." "
People in Pumixiu Town don't have to worry. Both them and the earl will probably fight south." "
This is not a bad thing. If there is no fight outside, If you are ambitious, you will be trapped in this cold zone unsuitable for survival for the rest of your life." "
Unless you can't fight, you will definitely fight to the south. For the Pumixiu people who have already aroused their fighting spirit, one more day's journey to the south. Living conditions will be greatly improved."
"Many of the missing barbarians are not really dead. Many of them are living outside and are unwilling to come back."
Lawrence thought about some longer-term ideas . Things gradually started to make me feel sleepy.
After taking off his outer clothes and his smelly shoes, Lawrence placed his shoes near the door before stepping on the stones heated by the fire to return to the bed.
After getting into bed and getting into bed, Lawrence found that the bed was not very hot, and Sophia's little feet were clearly feeling cool.
Lawrence tucked himself and Sophia up, and then took the little girl, who was curled up into a small piece in the bed without a warm quilt, in his arms.
Lawrence quietly reflected on his life. He could only remember being hugged a handful of times, and the only memory he could remember of hugging others was the time with Sophia and Salil.
Sophia opened her eyes and said drowsily: "Master, the bed is warm."
Lawrence put his legs against Sophia's cold feet and smiled: "Well, go to sleep."
Sophia quickly closed her eyes, continue to sleep.
Lawrence looked at the delicate little beauty beside him. She would become a beautiful girl in a few years.
But there is still a long way to go.
Lawrence was also sleepy and quickly closed his eyes. He was in a warm cabin under the audible cold wind, feeling the warmth on his cheeks, chest and palms.
