Chapter 199: Pig and Dog Friends
It is normal for people to have black hair growing on their bodies.
Even though Lawrence has almost no hair on his chest and calves, he still has very obvious hair on his armpits and the back and sides of his hands.
But Lawrence remembered that when he was on Earth, the women on the streets seemed to have no hair on their legs.
It should be shaved every night, or every few days.
Maintaining beauty comes at a price.
Lawrence suggested to Salil: "There is no need to remove those leg hairs, they are fine now."
Salil looked at Lawrence strangely, "Lawrence, do you like women with hairy legs?"
Lawrence said decisively Shaking his head, he collected his emotions and said more sincerely: "It's better not to have it, but now that I have it, maybe I should accept myself like this."
Salil became even more confused.
Lawrence said directly: "Forget it... just pull it out. I really think smooth legs are better."
Since she didn't listen to the persuasion, there was really no need to be pretentious about something that was beneficial to her. .
Salil quickly made a decision, "I'll go back and try!"
Lawrence suggested: "You can wait until you take a bath at night. At that time, the hair will be softer and more relaxed, and it won't be as painful as other times."
Saryl nodded, trusting Lawrence in many things.
Lawrence looked at Kehalan again and said unhappily: "Khalan, don't tease Salil like this. You asked her to pluck out her leg hair because you wanted to see her in pain when you plucked it out, right?" Kehalan shrugged
. He shrugged and pretended to be innocent and said: "No, I didn't think so. Witches can easily find food, drink, and a place to stay. Each of us has a long time to spend in a cave or a wooden house. I thought it was normal to pull out the hair on my legs one by one."
Lawrence felt like he could imagine that scene.
"Okay, I misunderstood you."
Kehalan smiled and said, "Do you want to pluck out all the hair except your hair?" "
No, I think it's fine to go natural." Lawrence refused decisively and looked at him again. She looked at her hair and said, "But my hair is indeed a bit long, maybe it should be cut."
Salil took the initiative and said, "I'll help you, I know how to shear sheep."
Lawrence showed a serious expression on his face, " I'll ask you next time. I think our manor really needs a barber. The hair of the slaves in the manor is too long."
Long hair makes it difficult to work and difficult to clean.
"Let's go back."
Lawrence has finished his work and will take everyone back soon.
Sofia soon went to practice her bow and arrows, and Saryl went out with Sofia.
Delen, who had used a lot of witchcraft, went upstairs to sleep and rest, while Kharan sat next to Lawrence as if nothing happened.
Lawrence looked at Kehalan who was lying next to him and resting. He couldn't help but put his hand on the other person's leg, and then continued up.
Kohalan looked at Lawrence with a smile, as if encouraging.
At this time, there were footsteps outside the door, and Lawrence withdrew his hand, but put Kehalan's legs on his own to hold them down.
Emma walked in, put her hands under her belly, bent down and saluted, and said: "Master, what are your orders?"
Now Emma no longer needs to do hard work. In addition to taking care of her children, she usually serves meals and cooks. Things like bathing and cleaning the house.
It was still the responsibility of Yi Di and others to cook, and leave the laundry to the female slaves. The main reason was that there was not much work in the fields during this period, and there were many women who came as slaves to use.
Lawrence asked: "Emma, who among you shears the cleanest sheep? I mean it does not harm the body of the sheep. When shearing the sheep, it looks very neat, like well-made clothes. You can't see it." Notch."
Emma thought for a moment and replied: "Many people can do it. Master, what do you want to do?"
Lawrence looked at Emma, "I need a barber, his task is to cut hair, I think too long hair will be a hindrance. Anyway, hair will continue to grow, and you don’t need such long hair in summer.” Emma took the initiative and said: “Please let
me be your hairdresser. If you are worried, I can Let's try it on my child's head first."
"Okay." Lawrence nodded and agreed, it's just a haircut...
Lawrence added: "Both you and Buell can practice this, and you will serve as barbers for a few of us here. In addition, I We also need a barber who can cut the rest of the people, let the seamstress take care of that, she should be able to do it." "
Yes, Master." Emma had no objection to this.
There are now more than a hundred people in the manor, and many people's names are hard to remember. Everyone is used to calling them by nicknames or professions.
Master is basically a title in many people's minds. Currently, the only people who truly understand what master means are dogs in the dog pen.
The rest of the people didn't quite understand the meaning of the title Master because of Lawrence's good relationship with them.
"Okay, it's okay."
"Then I'll try." Emma left the room and planned to go find her children to practice hair cutting.
Lawrence quickly stopped Emma again and discussed the general hairstyle.
There is a big difference between a human's head and a sheep's. It's best to leave some hair on, otherwise your brain will hurt from the cold in winter.
It is better to wash your hair before cutting it, which is more convenient.
The best tools for haircuts are sharper scissors, a scarf that can cover the rest of the head, and a comb for combing your hair.
The cut hair is collected together and of the same color placed in separate bags.
Emma quickly wrote down these notes and left after making sure there was nothing else.
Lawrence looked at Khalan.
Perhaps because they had been talking for a long time, Kharan had fallen asleep.
Lawrence lowered Kohalan's legs so she could sleep better.
When he was bored, Lawrence took out a set of semi-finished wooden cards from under the table and carved more detailed playing cards.
After the last set of dominoes made of boar teeth was sold, the subsequent dominoes made of wood always felt wrong in the hand.
Although the women in the family didn't say anything, Lawrence could feel that no one was interested in playing cards anymore. It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
Lawrence could not find a better substitute than the boar tusks. Although the antlers were similar, they were not as big as the boar tusks and most of the fallen antlers were dry.
Ox and sheep horns are also not suitable. The wild boar last time was bigger than an African elephant, and it was a male wild boar with huge tusks, so only three decks of cards could be made.
There are very few materials with such texture in nature, such as wood and stone.
If you have time to go hunting in the Agama Mountains, you might be able to hunt that kind of big wild boar.
According to Delen, there are many giant beasts in the Agama Mountains, as well as many villages and cities.
There was no time to explore elsewhere, so for the evening's entertainment Lawrence had to make a deck of playing cards out of oak wood.
After two or three hours of busy work, Lawrence heard Doug's dog barking outside.
He didn't care at first, but Doug kept yelling. Kehalan stood up and looked around, "What's wrong?"
Lawrence put down the knife and wood chips, "I'll go out and take a look."
Kehalan yawned and stood up. When he walked to the table and saw the wooden sign on the table, he sat down again, picked up the knife and began to carve.
Witches have very strong learning abilities, especially pure-blood witches like Kehalan, who have far more knowledge than ordinary witches.
At the entrance of the manor, Lawrence saw Doug screaming.
Doug's neck was tied with a rope and he was tied to the pillar at the door, screaming in grievance.
Seeing Lawrence coming, Doug screamed even more vigorously, hoping that Lawrence would untie the rope around his neck.
Lawrence not only saw Doug, but also Sophia who was practicing her shooting skills.
Sofia hung a rope on the wall and practiced target shooting with her bow and arrow pointed at the rope.
Lawrence naturally knew why Doug was tied up, it must be to prevent Sophia from practicing bow and arrow.
It is for the puppy's own good to tie up the puppy, otherwise it will always get in the way of the shooting range, and if it is shot, it will become dog meat.
Lawrence sat aside and watched boredly. Sofia saw Lawrence watching from behind, practicing archery more intently and excitedly.
As for Salil, who was supposed to be accompanying Sophia, she was moving a small stool in the kitchen to eat oranges secretly, and was not at all considerate of Kharan's difficulties.
Lawrence didn't take a serious look at Sophia's archery skills. He was thinking about Salil and Kharan while looking at the wailing puppy.
Perhaps in Kohalan's opinion, the behavior of the other people in the manor when they ate oranges was like the mood of the family dogs and pigs when they ate excrement.
Lawrence, who was thinking about strange things, suddenly felt something strange coming from the corner of his eyes.
Lawrence looked over quickly and saw that it was a small brown wild boar running from the open gate of the manor and quickly approaching Doug.
Just when Lawrence thought that the little pig had come in out of nowhere, he suddenly noticed that the little wild boar was approaching Doug. He quickly looked at him and bit the rope that tied Doug.
"Woof!!" Doug made a cheerful voice, finally no longer wailing like before.
Lawrence looked surprised. At this time, Sophia also noticed the little wild boar running in.
With an excited look on her face, Sophia quickly pointed her bow and arrow at the little wild boar, "Master! Let's eat roasted piglet tonight!"
Doug saw Sophia pointing her bow and arrow at him, and quickly yelled at Sophia anxiously, "Woof! Woof! Woof!" !"
The little wild boar continued to bite the rope, and it broke half of the rope in just a few seconds, and kept pulling on the rope with its head.
Sofia held up her bow and arrow and approached the little wild boar that was motionless, squinting her eyes and aiming.
The little wild boar took a step back, but was still biting the rope, and was able to break the rope quickly.
Doug shouted anxiously to Sophia, feeling aggrieved and anxious.
Sofia, who looked excited, was completely indifferent. This child had no sympathy since she was a child, and she didn't understand what empathy meant.
One hand grabbed Sophia's bow and pressed it to the ground.
Sophia raised her head and saw Lawrence's calm face.
If we want to say who is the kindest in this place, it is not the young and cute Sophia, nor the murderous Salil, nor the serfs and slaves outside.
Lawrence has always had a compassion that most people don't have. When life is difficult, he will kill mice, squirrels, and rabbits without hesitation, but when there is enough food, he rarely hurts innocent people.
"Master?" Sophia didn't understand why she couldn't kill the piglet.
At this time, the little wild boar bit off the rope and ran quickly towards the door.
When he ran to the door, he stopped to see if the puppy was following.
Doug didn't follow. He wanted to run out, but stood anxiously where he was tied and looked at Lawrence and Sophia.
Lawrence knelt down and waved to Doug, "Doug, come here."
Doug ran over carefully and looked at Lawrence pitifully.
Lawrence reached out and untied the rope around Doug's neck, touched his dog's head, "Let's go out and play." "
Woof!" Doug seemed to understand what Lawrence meant, and he quickly ran out happily.
The little pig and the puppy quickly ran into the forest together on the wooden board.
Lawrence stood up and said to Sophia: "Don't hurt the little wild boar. That's all for today's practice. Let Emma tell the people at the lumberyard what I said. Don't disturb the little wild boar when you encounter them in the future." Sophia nodded
. "I understand! Does the master want to save it for autumn?"
Lawrence shook his head and said, "No, you probably don't understand now. Anyway, don't kill the pig. This is my request." "
Oh, Sophia knows! "Sofia didn't think too much, just do it if Lawrence told her to do it.
In the evening, after dinner, Lawrence waited at the door and found Doug running over happily wagging his tail.
Lawrence touched the belly of the puppy and found that after it had eaten, he filled a basin of warm water and placed it in front of the dog's kennel, and poured some leftover food into its dog's basin.
