Chapter 94
It snowed again in the afternoon of winter night, and the world was quiet and dull.
If you lie down in bed and take a nap in such weather, when will you wake up again?
Most barbarians will rely on wine to fall into a coma, so that they can fall asleep quickly.
As long as you are not aware, you can ignore many, many bad things.
Lawrence sat near the fireplace in the crowded and stuffy cabin, wearing only a woolen robe.
Sitting in front of Lawrence was Salil. Salil had taken off her upper body clothes and now exposed her broad and strong back to Lawrence.
Lawrence held small wood chips in his hand, wiped Salil's back with hot water in a clay pot and a towel, and then used the wood chips to rub Salil's back.
Salil's back looks very clean, with healthy white skin. The only flaw is that some fine hairs can be seen.
The body hair of barbarians is relatively strong, and the chests of male barbarians are densely covered with hair, as if they are wearing plate armor to protect their hearts.
Lawrence is different from most savages. There is very little hair on his legs, arms, and chest. You can't see it if you don't look carefully.
Taking a bath in the winter was too troublesome, so Lawrence took advantage of the warmest time in the house after dinner to help Salil solve the problem of cleaning her back that she usually couldn't touch alone.
Saryl will also help Lawrence clean later.
Sophia stood aside and stroked the snow wolf skin, looking at Salil and Lawrence sitting in front.
"Master, I will also wash your back later."
Lawrence said: "Sofia, just once every seven or eight days is enough. You don't work much these days, and your body is not dirty. Salil and I, once every three days, is more. It's easy to get sick."
Wash your face and feet once a day, wash your hair once every two days, and take a bath once every three days. Lawrence now stipulates a rough time interval.
Sophia nodded, "Yes, then I can help you take a bath."
Lawrence quickly helped Salil clean her back and patted her on the back.
"Okay, wipe it off and put on your clothes."
Salil stood up, showing a very comfortable expression, feeling much more relaxed all over.
When Salil was getting dressed, a crow's crow suddenly came from outside the door.
"Gah!"
The cry did not come from outside the door, but from the window.
Lawrence looked towards the window, then quickly moved the wooden stool and looked outside.
There was a crow on the wooden window outside. The crow was holding on to the wooden bars of the wooden window with its feet and looking at Lawrence.
Although it was dark, Lawrence still recognized the crow as the big crow he had encountered before.
Lawrence quickly left the wooden window and opened the door.
Sariel had already dressed and put on her clothes and said, "What's wrong?"
"It's the crow that brings us good luck. I'll go out and have a look."
Lawrence opened the wooden door, and a cold wind rushed into the house. inside.
The temperature outside was very different from the temperature inside. Lawrence felt a tingling sensation in his fingers as soon as he went out.
The wind and snow also make it difficult to breathe and open your eyes.
Lawrence braved the wind and snow and walked around to the side of the house. The snow outside unconsciously buried his feet.
The big crow had landed on the ground at this time, raising its head and calling at Lawrence.
"Gah!"
Lawrence looked down and saw the crow running against the corner to the door.
The stone house is built at a slight slope, and the wind and snow are also tilted down, causing more snow to accumulate on the back, and there will be some places where snow does not fall on the side of the door and window. These places are narrow, only a shoe-length apart, but that's enough for the crows.
Lawrence returned to the door of the stone house and saw the crow walking into the stone house like a gentleman.
Seeing this look, Lawrence said nothing and quickly entered the house together.
The stone house blocked the wind and snow behind it, and after Lawrence closed the door again, he fell into his comfort zone again.
Saryl and Sophia watched the crow walk in on its own.
The crow looked around the room curiously, and even when Lawrence closed the door behind him, it had no intention of escaping.
After a brief look, the crow quickly flew up and landed on the pile of wood near Dom Sheep.
The house has stored fuel for the next ten days or so. The firewood is piled neatly in the corner to serve as a partition between the three sheep and the living area.
There are also many strips of meat in the room, especially a lot of reserved bacon hanging from the roof.
Seeing that the crow was looking around, but not making any noise or fuss, Lawrence took the initiative to take some cooked wolf meat from the pot.
Lawrence placed the wolf meat on the wooden box.
"It's time to eat." Lawrence looked at the big crow and said softly.
The crow looked at Lawrence, and after Lawrence retreated to the bed, it flew over and picked up the cooked hot meat.
The crow quickly took off and originally wanted to fly out, but soon found that the door was closed and could not fly out.
It flew around the room several times, and finally landed at the window and hid in the window hole.
The window did not face the wind, so the wind was not strong. In addition, there was a ring of wood to simply protect part of the cold wind. Combined with the heat in the room, it was at least much warmer than a tree hole.
Lawrence said: "Don't disturb it. If it makes too much noise, let it go."
Salil frowned and said, "What if it flies out and poops randomly? It will stain our food and quilts." , maybe it will fall on our heads."
Lawrence was stunned for a moment, as if he had never thought about such a thing.
"It's okay, let's see
what happens." At this point, we can only take a look first.
At Lawrence's request, an additional tenant was added to the stone house for an unknown period of time.
After taking a bath, Lawrence still felt uneasy, so he took out his squirrel and mouse skin storage bag, walked to the window and pushed the furs to the crow.
The crow inside did not move at first, but after a few minutes, he saw the animal skins being dragged in. Apparently it was smart enough to know how to use these things.
Lawrence no longer worried about the crow, but walked to the door and looked through the crack at the blizzard outside.
"Add more fire to the fireplace and let the cooking fire go out. Don't worry about it. I hope the chimney won't be blocked." Lawrence recalled the shape
of the chimney. When the chimney was made, a rain-proof structure was specially set up. Naturally, It also blocks falling snow.
But there is enough fuel now, and the big bed is near the fireplace. It will be much more comfortable if there is a fireplace at night.
And with a fireplace for lighting, oil lamps can also save a lot.
There are advantages to having a small house, as heating is more convenient.
The night is getting darker and darker, the wind and snow outside are getting stronger and stronger, and the cold wind keeps whistling in the mountains and forests, making a terrifying sound.
The Lawrence family of three snuggled together and fell asleep quietly in this warm little room.
Whenever it's ice and snow outside, not only the Dom sheep, but also the crows are extremely quiet.
