forest kingdom

Chapter 78
Lawrence and Andrew returned to the mountains.

Salil had already prepared the food, and they started chatting casually after everyone sat down to eat.

"We were waiting for news from you in town that day. Emma came back first and told us something."

"Emma was given salt and meat, as well as clothes for adults and children, and she was very happy when she came back."

Sariel talked about what happened in the past two days, because she knew from Emma that Andrew and Lawrence were fine, so she didn't have any excessive emotions when the two came back this time.

Andrew ate quietly and listened quietly to Salil's story.

Lawrence also ate quietly, listening and watching the performance of the father and daughter.

As an outsider, Lawrence knew that these two days might be the last time Andrew and Salil spent together.

Andrew knew it, but Salyl didn't.

Salil will definitely object to Andrew venturing outside and wants him to stay and live the same peaceful life as before.

So Andrew didn't let Lawrence say this.

"Lawrence, it's time for you to go work in the mountains."

Andrew noticed Lawrence's observation and reminded him to get out of here for now.

Lawrence nodded, "Okay, Sofia will come with me."

After hearing this, Salil quickly said: "I'm coming with you. I'll leave the family affairs to my father. Lawrence used a lot of wood for burning charcoal last time. Father, go chop down the trees and replenish some wood."

Lawrence said directly: "I used the wood. When I come back, I will pull some from the mountain. There is a lot of wood on the mountain that can be used as fuel."

Salil smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, he is very free, otherwise he would have to drink again."

Andrew stood up and walked outside, "I'll do it."

Lawrence wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything and continued to do his own thing.

Sariel has no ill intentions, just like a normal girl who doesn't like some bad habits of her parents.

If it were normal Andrew, he would just smile helplessly, agree verbally or skip the topic.

Regarding other people's family affairs and his understanding of Andrew, Lawrence knew that this kind of life would only make Andrew more and more uncomfortable.

Andrew is different from me. He is not the kind of person who likes a peaceful life. He has strength and arrogance and wildness.

"Sariel, you should help at home today, Sofia and I will do it."

Lawrence still didn't want Salil to follow him up the mountain, and seriously advised her not to follow.

Sariel looked at Lawrence with a puzzled look on her face, "Why? Did I do something that disgusted you?"

Lawrence shook his head and reminded: "After your father came back, you didn't talk to him properly. I would hold Sophia to sleep after every battle. Sometimes people need partners and family members. They need a hug."

Salil smiled and said: "My father is not a person like you. He is the most powerful warrior and the bravest man!"

Lawrence felt that Salil was right, "No matter what, I don't want you to go up the mountain with me today, so what about today?"

Salil looked at Lawrence strangely, "Just today?"

Lawrence nodded, "Just today."

"Okay." Salil said helplessly: "Although I don't know what you are going to do, it is only today. I am not the kind of girl who is ignorant."

Sariel thought something must be going on between Lawrence and Sophia. Although she was unhappy, she still agreed to allow it.

Lawrence did what he could and took Sophia up the mountain with him.

Today I am leading two sheep, one is Lawrence’s own Dom sheep and the other is Sariel’s Dom sheep.

On the bodies of the two sheep were items such as flints, iron pots, bacon, clay pots, wooden boards and ironware.

The thatched stone house like a cylindrical granary has almost been built. Obvious traces of stacking can be seen around the stone house. The irregular stones form a neat and orderly three-dimensional building.Lawrence pushed open the wooden door and looked at the quiet and damp soil inside.

The cold wind that poured in from the windows blew away a lot of moisture. The light coming in from the windows and door entrances was not very bright, and the whole room still seemed a little groggy.

But this is normal. Even Andrew's house is not that bright during the day.

Sophia stood next to Lawrence and looked at the quiet room.

"Master, shall we sleep here today?"

Lawrence smiled and said: "What a great idea! Let's clean this place first and put everything in."

"Okay!" Sophia happily agreed and took the initiative to bring the two Dom sheep into the house.

The stone house was more than four meters long from front to back, left and right. It originally seemed quite small, but after bringing the two sheep in, Lawrence found that the house was still small.

"In addition to the place where we sleep and eat, we also place tools and food, a Dome sheep, four pigs, chickens and sheep. It feels a bit crowded."

Lawrence didn't expect that he would have so much property, and he only considered things at that time when he built the stone house.

Sophia comforted: "It doesn't matter, it's warmer this way! Everyone can live warmly."

After being comforted by Sophia, Lawrence was indeed in a good mood.

"Sofia is right. You light the fire, and I will pull the two sheep to the window."

"it is good!"

The two began to work together, and Lawrence unloaded the goods from the Dome sheep. After no longer being restrained by the cargo, the two Dome sheep soon lay down near the hay and began to eat.

We had fed the sheep in advance when we came here in the morning, and now after being able to rest, the two sheep found a comfortable place to digest and regurgitate food quietly.

The colder the weather, the more obedient the Dom sheep are.

The flames quickly swayed from a handful of hay, and Sofia placed the hay in the corner of the fireplace, close to the bed, and the floor had long been swept.

After placing branches one by one on top of the fire, the flames quickly climbed from the branches into the pile of wood, forming a fire that was not easy to extinguish.

Sofia happily looked at the fire radiating warmth, squatted in front of the fireplace, broke off the branches, and put them aside to add to them.

After unloading the goods, Lawrence took the wooden board and approached the window. The thickness of the window was the thickness of the wall. Because there was a thickness of more than one meter in the middle, Lawrence could prepare two window boards.

One is a grid-type wooden board placed outside. The fence is made of cleanly processed long wooden sticks similar to the thickness of chopsticks. It can prevent birds and small animals from crawling in, and can also block the cold wind to a certain extent.

The other is a closed square wooden bench that can be inserted directly into the house and stuck. It can also be used as a bench during the day.

There are many mountains blocking the area. It seems to be standing on the top of the mountain, but in fact there are many mountains blocking the surrounding area, so there is no need to worry about particularly strong winds.

After doing this, Lawrence began to go out to inspect the previous shack.

The shack has long been collapsed by the heavy snow, but all the materials inside can be put to use.

Lawrence used the shed of the shack as a gate and together with Sophia gathered the remaining wood into the house.

After removing the snow-covered hayloft, I discovered half a bag of soil that had not been put to use before.

The soil had been frozen hard, and Lawrence found that it would not be useful for the time being when moving in, so he found some hay to cover them.

He needed a warm place to sleep at night, so in the afternoon Lawrence and Sophia built a small bed with wooden planks and hung an iron pot from the roof.

Oven, hanging pot, fire, house, sheep and bacon hanging on the roof, bed covered with animal skins, and peas and bacon being cooked in the pot.

Lawrence stood at the door and looked at the setting sun, not panicking at all.

There is no need to rush down the mountain anymore.
