Chapter 90 Winter Snow
In the morning, Lawrence woke up from the cold.

Pulling off the animal skin blanket that smelled of foot odor, Lawrence, who was fully clothed, sat on the bed and looked at the dark and small cabin, and at the two sleeping girls beside him.

"Wake up."

Lawrence shouted and walked out of the partition room full of debris.

Unlike most barbarians who live in traditional buildings like warehouses, the layout of Doug's house is close to the structure of Andrew's house, with small rooms divided into large rooms.

Ordinary savages live in houses with little separation between humans and animals.

As soon as I walked out of the room, I arrived at what should be the living room. Surrounded by wooden boxes and barrels for storing loot, as well as a dining table and a fire, several women were keeping warm here.

There were five women in total, roughly in their teens to thirties. They were thin and frail. Although they all had some beauty, their hair was dry and dull, and their bodies were somewhat malnourished.

The most eye-catching thing is that these five women share two animal skin blankets. In this cold winter environment, they only wear a skirt made of rough linen, the length of which is from the neck to more than ten centimeters above the knees.

After seeing Lawrence appear, the women who were warming themselves in front of the fire quickly stood up tremblingly.

Lawrence sat in front of the fire, where the flames were burning slowly.

Seeing that Lawrence had no other instructions, the five women slowly disappeared into the darkness and entered a nearby small room.

Kate's wife came out to check on the situation at this time. When she saw Lawrence and the women leaving, she came over to say hello.

The position in front of the fire is usually reserved for guests and hosts, and the five women before were slaves captured by the Doug family from the Kurdish village, and their status was very low.

Aali is a 26-year-old woman who was someone else's wife before the Kurs attacked the town of Pumixiu, but she got together with Kate after her husband died.

War will create new distributions, some will be lucky and some will die.

Ai Ali greeted and said: "Mr. Lawrence, you got up so early, Kate is still sleeping."

Lawrence smiled and said: "No need to wake him up. I will go back to the mountain to check the traps later. There are still many things to be busy on the mountain."

Ai Ali looked much smaller than herself and not as strong as Kate or her previous husband, but Mr. Lawrence, who was said to be very powerful and could always bring back prey, was thinking about what he should say.

"Kate said that Mr. Lawrence needs a dog. Hart's child was born a few days ago. I will take you to see the puppy. If you choose it, we will feed it well during this time."

Lawrence nodded and said, "Okay, wait a moment, Salil and Sophia will be here soon."

At this time Salil and Sophia got up and came out.

Sophia rubbed her eyes, still not waking up.

Salil seems to be in low spirits. The environment here is much worse than the environment at home, and she feels very uncomfortable now.

"Lawrence, it's time for us to leave. I want to go back as soon as possible." Salil urged Lawrence directly. She never liked this kind of environment.

Lawrence stood up and said, "Let's go see the puppy first."

Sophia thought of something and said quickly: "There are sheep! Sheep with milk!"

Lawrence said: "Don't worry about that. It's not like our goats can't get pregnant. Etty should be able to milk them. Just let Etty do the goat milk thing in the future."

Sofia felt that it made sense, she sighed in relief and nodded happily: "Okay! It's more fresh that way!"

Lawrence soon went with Ayali to see the puppies.

A big dog named Hart was lying in the corner of the house. When he felt a stranger approaching, he whined fiercely.

Ai Ali threw the piece of meat she had brought over. The big dog, which was roaring uneasily, quickly lowered its head and bit the piece of meat, and then quickly bit the piece of meat in its mouth, as if it was worried about grabbing food.

Behind the big dog are six sleeping puppies. Each dog is as plump as a freshly baked bun.Ai Ali said: "I didn't dare to get too close. Kate was feeding it before."

Lawrence and Ai Ali looked at the big gray dog ​​lying on the dirty clothes from a distance of two meters.

The size is smaller than expected, even smaller than the previous three sled dogs.

"Tim aren't they here?"

Ai Ali said: "They and the dog team are all in Dumu Village. We only have Hart with the puppy and a guard dog here."

Lawrence looked at the six puppies, chose them and said, "I want the biggest little black dog."

Salil looked at the six puppies, "I think the white one looks better."

The white puppy is indeed cuter, but not big.

The six dogs have actually differentiated themselves from the order of birth to the order of feeding, and then after a few days of growing up and competing for food.

What Lawrence wants is a helper for housekeeping, hunting, vigilance, and cooperative operations, not a pet dog.

"As long as it's black." Lawrence made the decision for Sariel.

Salil looked at the black dog speechlessly, thinking that the black dog was not bad either.

Sariel had raised dogs twice before and both of them died, so she didn't insist on her own opinion very much, and she obeyed Lawrence's judgment at this time.

After determining the approximate date of puppies and weaning, Lawrence returned to the mountains with Sophia and Saryl.

Lawrence looked at the gloomy sky and asked Salil, who had already left the town area: "Will it snow today?"

Salil yawned and said casually: "Definitely, and it will last for a long time. This happens every year."

Salil looked at the sky, quickly regained her composure, and stated: "When the magic light appears in the sky, there will be dark moments for several days. At this time, everyone will hide in the house."

After hearing this, Lawrence roughly understood the weather conditions in the coming period.

The next long period of time will not be suitable for going out hunting, only suitable for enjoying wine, bread and women at home.

That is the time when children are made.

Many barbarians died in several battles, but this did not affect the foundation of the barbarians.

Every time the savages returned home with their lads, they left behind a large number of descendants.

Especially now, the period of cultivation after the celebration is the period when a large number of lives are born.

Under the snow, many tenacious lives will be born.

After returning to Andrew's house, Lawrence loaded the grain delivered by Emma yesterday onto the sheep's back. He also assigned Seravan and Etty the task of delivering chamber pots to Emma in exchange for baskets and jars. Then he brought some supplies and The food is returned to the stone house on the mountain.

Many, many things can only continue in spring.

Lawrence was thinking about things he could do in the winter, and soon saw Saryl, who was tired and lying on the bed to catch up on her sleep, and Sophia, who also wanted to sleep.

"The bed at home should be reinforced." Lawrence complained.

He quickly went to feed the sheep, light the fire, and take care of the two girls, one older and one younger.

　There is another update in the evening. Today, including two updates at 0:[-], there are already four updates. That makes five updates.
