Chapter 4: Parents are killed one after another
After the arrangement, he and his knights locked the gates of the city, hid in the castle and refused to come out.
..........
Her mother, Juliet, also fell ill, and her condition continued to deteriorate, threatening her life at any time.
Li Feng didn't care anymore, took advantage of the darkness to go up the mountain to pick herbs, although the primary alchemy technique has not been unlocked, but in the map of "Li Ergou's Road to Survival", Li Feng still knows more about typhoid fever and miscellaneous diseases.
A few pairs of herbs went down, boiled water every day, cleaned, smoked with wormwood, and kept the room ventilated, and my mother's condition was quickly relieved, as long as she persevered, she would definitely be fine......
A few days later, when Li Feng came back from collecting medicine, his mother died.
Someone smashed him to death with a hammer.
The leader of the house, Laudenor, with a few servants and his fat son, was pinching his nose and looking at his mother who was dead on the ground, and his sister Elena threw herself on her mother's corpse and cried.
Look at the hammer in the hand of the servant, and everything is clear.
Li Feng's eyes erupted with fire: "What did you do?" ”
Lauderno waved his hand indifferently: "Your family steals the herbs of the lord, according to the fifteenth article of the lord's decree, should..."
"Fuck you...."
Li Feng was beaten by two servants, trampled under his feet, and Lauderno's fat son decoder shoe also sprinkled a soak of urine on his face, and scolded: "A waste with one hand, a lowly pariah." ”
Unexpectedly, the next day, Lauderno came again, this time with a knight.
Unceremoniously, they captured Li Feng's sister Elena.
"Shi Krang, the lord appreciates you, a pariah, and asks you to treat the epidemic of the second young master, according to the way you treat your untouchable mother, if you are cured, your sister will be safe and sound, if you can't cure it, you know..."
Li Feng couldn't resist, so he could only go to the lord's castle.
This is the first time he has entered the interior of the castle, and he feels that it is large and empty, the main materials are marble and granite, and the wall pillars are carved with intricate patterns, which is magnificent.
Inside the castle and outside the castle are really two worlds.
"Lovely child, you must help me heal Robert, and the Lord will thank you." When the lord's wife saw Li Feng coming, she was like grasping the last straw and personally took him to her youngest son's bedroom.
The child on the bed was about the same age as Li Feng, his face was pale, he was weak, he was unconscious and sweating, which was very scary, but in fact, it was a severe flu.
Naturally, the lord's family did not have a shortage of herbs, and he had to pay taxes when he went to the mountains to dig up a piece of bone skin.
With sufficient supply and reasonable recuperation, within a few days, the second young master named Robert got better.
"Damned untouchables, take your sister and get out of the castle quickly, don't stain this place, which symbolizes sacredness and nobility." Driven by Lauderno, Li Feng left the castle with his sister.
Before leaving, the recipe for curing the disease was also taken away and replaced with a small bag of black flour and a small bag of wheat flour.
"Mom, did this pariah save me?" Robert looked at the direction Li Feng left and asked his mother.
"Yes, you have to thank him well."
"However, my father told me not to come into contact with the untouchables, they would tarnish my noble blood."
The lord's wife thought for a while: "He should be a farmer who has been blessed by the Lord, you can contact him, but don't go too deep, otherwise according to the lord's decree of my Chris's kingdom, your father will kill him." ”
............
A few days later, news came out from the City Lord's Mansion.
"The great lord has blessed the merciful lord to research a cure for the plague, and you can go to the tax collector below the castle to buy the potion."
"A bottle of potion is a gold coin, and without gold coins, you can volunteer for two more days a week."
"Hehe, one gold coin can buy 5 small bags of black flour, these people are really good."
Li Feng took his sister and shook his head with a wry smile, and walked into the house, it can be imagined that many people will freeze to death and starve to death this winter.
The parents are gone, and many of the friends and adults in the town are gone, and I guess they will not have a good time with the Lord, because there are all kinds of signs that the Lord will not survive poverty.
In the dilapidated home, only Li Feng, who had just turned seven years old, and his sister Elena, who was in her early three years old, were left, and how to continue to live this life has become the biggest problem at present.
Li Feng began to think about farming again, as the son of a farmer, there was no better choice before awakening the golden finger.
The good thing about this map is that you can farm boldly without worrying about the situation of a novice village.
Because everything belongs to the lord, and if you work well, the boss will of course be happy.
It just so happened that after the epidemic, the population of Dia Ling was halved, and the land was vacant a lot, and the lord's wife thanked Li Feng for saving his son, and asked the housekeeper Laudeno to deliberately distribute the most fertile ten acres of land by the river to Li Feng.
Coupled with the original land left by his father Mark, Li Feng has mastered one hundred and forty acres of land.
He has his own plans for how to cultivate the land.
Different from the East's persuasion of agriculture and intensive farming, the West has few people and pays attention to the mode of combining agriculture and animal husbandry.
That is, half of the land is used to grow food crops, and half of the land is used to grow peas, pastures, and livestock such as cattle, sheep, and horses.
In this way, it can produce not only staple food for human consumption, but also a large amount of meat, milk and fur to meet most of people's needs for food and clothing.
Combined with the fallow system, the large amount of manure left behind by the pasture fields that have been eaten by livestock is also a good source of fertilizer for the land.
Judging from these aspects, the combination of agriculture and animal husbandry in the West seems to have more advantages than intensive farming in the East, not to mention saving time and effort, and in bad years, there can still be a large amount of meat to avoid large-scale starvation.
However, there are drawbacks to this model.
That is, everyone is very Buddhist in farming, and does not pursue seed returns, which is not deeply studied, and there is a lack of conceptual understanding of some basic knowledge of farming, resulting in very low yields.
In the East of intensive cultivation, the average yield per mu can be 3-4 times that of the average yield per mu in the West, and even a second and third season can be given in some places, and the average seed return rate can reach 10-20 times.
This is one of the main reasons why the population of the East was larger than that of the West in ancient times.
Li Feng calculated, in this era, the average yield of barley per mu in Dia Ling is about 100 catties, if he can increase the yield per mu to 450 catties, after paying sixty percent of the land rent, he will probably plant about 7 mu, which is enough to feed himself and his sister.
It was very difficult, but Li Feng did not panic.
He has nearly 200 years of experience in farming.
He has clear ideas on how to plough, how to intercrop, how to keep crop gaps, how to adapt to the weather, how to fertilize, how to weed, how to repel insects, etc.
Of course, he can't play all the 140 acres of land, choose the most fertile one of 8 acres, and just point the rest at will.
