005 Rapport 1
After changing into the clothes of ordinary people in this era, Lawrence and Sophia went out and saw a sumptuous meal.
You don't need to wash your hands and face, and you can already eat according to the rules of this era.
Andrew, who was physically strong, was already sitting at the table, smiling kindly at the sight of Lawrence.
"Lawrence, I heard Sariel say that you haven't eaten enough before, and today you are happy to have a full meal, and you can eat all the time at my place!"
Lawrence walked over to Andrew and sat down across from him, looking at the food on the table.
Burnt bread, bone-in roast meat the size of corn on the cob, green apples that look very fresh, and a roast chicken and a plate of eggs, and green and white potato and vegetable soup.
"Thank you very much!" Lawrence said happily, "I've never had such a good meal at home!" ”
Andrew was very satisfied, "Then stay and eat every day in the future." ”
Lawrence said politely, "I would love to do this, but I don't want to do it yet, and after this meal I will go to the mountains and build my cabin." ”
Andrew was a little surprised, and said anxiously: "Why don't you want to stay and live with us?" ”
Lawrence glanced at Sariel, who had just said that she didn't want to get married.
This kind of woman belongs to a very different existence in this era, but it is not nothing.
There are many women in the monastery who do not want to get married, or who cannot find a satisfactory partner.
Lawrence didn't want to get involved in someone else's family, even though he was a beautiful girl, and he didn't want to do something menial in order to be the other person's husband.
If you don't want to, you don't want to, don't force it.
Lawrence, who had already purchased a female slave, felt that he and Sophia were not suitable for such a family.
"Sophia is not my sister or my family, nor is she my wife, she is a slave I bought outside."
Lawrence revealed Sophia's true identity, remaining calm in the face of Andrew's surprise and Sariel's shocked eyes.
"I'm going to build a hut in the mountains and live there with Sophia, preferably in a safe place."
"I was very lucky to have enough to eat yesterday and today, just as Mr. Andrew was lucky enough to meet us in an unfortunate time, and I think we should be able to get along amicably in the future."
Sariel didn't know what to look at Lawrence, she looked at Sophia, then at Lawrence, and finally didn't say anything.
Slaves were normal in this day and age, and Lawrence said, "Slaves must be very unusual here, right?" ”
Sophia stood quietly behind Lawrence, she had already accepted her status as a slave, and compared to the nightmare life in the slave house, she could be treated gently every day after following Lawrence, although life was hard, it was no longer a nightmare.
Andrew said: "It's not unusual, I used to go out to catch slaves, but they were sold or disposed of quickly, and there were not so many slaves to eat in the mountains." ”
Andrew quickly smiled again, "I sometimes want to go down the mountain and get a husband for Sariel, but Sariel definitely doesn't want to. ”
Sariel said solemnly, "Don't say that kind of thing. ”
Andrew laughed, "Look, what a girl! ”
Lawrence also smiled, Andrew seemed to be a good elder, and Sariel was also a gentle and kind girl.
Sariel quickly said to Sophia, "Sophia, you can also sit down and eat, I have something for you to eat." ”
Sophia usually eats with Lawrence, and last night was the same, but now that Lawrence reminded her of her status as a slave, she quickly looked at Lawrence and waited for her master's approval.
Lawrence took the initiative and said, "Let's eat." ”
Sophia bowed happily, "Thank you, master, thank you, Sariel, and Uncle Andrew!" ”
Sariel doesn't like Lawrence a little bit, I can't say why I don't like it, but it's just a little bit of a mustard.
Before breakfast was finished, Sariel said directly: "I'll feed the sheep." ”
Lawrence also used to do this kind of work when he was on the farm, and he had a lot to do every day.
Andrew was also full, and then said: "I am going to check the trap, and you will also take care of me, an old man with weak legs, otherwise if I accidentally step on the trap, this leg will be gone." ”
Lawrence said quickly, "Of course, we'll check the traps for you first, and then we'll go to the mountains in the afternoon to find a suitable place to build a house." ”
When Andrew heard this, he frowned and said, "It's autumn now, and it will be cold in another month, and you won't be able to build a house in a month." ”
Lawrence also realized the urgency of time, "Then let's take a look first, if it really doesn't work, find a cave to live in." ”
Andrew looked at Lawrence solemnly, "Cave? That's definitely going to kill people! The difference between the winter here and the south is like the sea in summer and the sea in spring. ”
Lawrence said: "It doesn't look like the winters are going to be easy here. ”
Andrew proposed, "You can continue to live with me, Sariel will soon change her mind, I don't think she will mind if you have a slave girl who can work." ”
Lawrence smiled and asked curiously, "Sariel is such a gentle and beautiful girl, and she is very good at cooking and housework, I don't understand why no young man is close to her." ”
Andrew's face quickly became sad, and he said helplessly: "She was born on a rainy day, and every time it rains here, someone gets sick or suffers misfortune, everyone thinks it's Sariel's fault, even Sarile herself thinks so." ”
Lawrence said directly: "It's normal for it to rain, it will rain everywhere, can a child born on a sunny day bring good luck?" Won't misfortune befall you? ”
Andrew looked excited, "You're right, I think so too!" ”
After agreeing with the boy very much, Andrew carefully reminded: "Actually, Sariel is a very good girl, if she reminds you that it will rain tomorrow, then you better believe it." ”
Lawrence was a little surprised, but quickly said, "Of course, I will arrange things in advance and be more prepared." ”
Andrew liked the young man very much, and planned to continue to persuade Sariel that such a good man was not easy to find.
After eating, Andrew led the two to the livestock shed.
In the shed there were two large goats grazing, and this large goat, whose horns were as long as bread, looked quite dangerous.
Each big goat is one meter five or six in size, but it looks very tall already, and just standing there can give the impression of a giant beast.
Andrew introduced: "It's a dom sheep that can carry goods and women, I'm too heavy to ride them, but you look fine." ”
There are no horses in this world, and they may have been eaten extinct, but they have been replaced by various substitutes that have been domesticated for many years.
For example, moose, ibex, camels, plain cattle, bigfoot, sled dogs, pygmy elephants.
