Andrew led the two domes out together.

"Domes only become docile and weak when it is cold, and become particularly disobedient once it comes to spring and summer."

"Now at this time, it can't be released, and when it is released, it will find food by itself, and it will not come back for a few days and nights."

"In winter, it comes back on its own not long after it is released in the morning, and sometimes it even refuses to leave the sheepfold."

"You can't ride them yet, you need to feed them for a few days until you get used to them."

Andrew introduces the two to his Dom sheep and soon talks about Sariel.

"Sariel is a good rider, and these two domes were raised by Sariel, who has been riding them up and down the hill since she was a child."

"Oh shit, I almost forgot!" Andrew showed a look of annoyance, and quickly said, "There are some places on this mountain that cannot be approached, especially the mountain opposite. ”

There were many mountains nearby, and Andrew pointed to a large mountain in the northern region, which was at least a few kilometers away, and would only be farther if you walked the mountain road.

Lawrence nodded and said, "Okay, I don't want to run into cannibalism." ”

Andrew handed Lawrence the reins of a domme sheep and led another one himself.

"I encountered it once, and we called it Mount Talim, which is a poisonous mountain, and there are often poisonous birds and animals lying in the mountain, and people will die if they eat it."

"And rumor has it that there is an old witch living there, and you better not go near it."

Hag?

Andrew had heard that magic in this world was not necessarily powerful, but witchcraft often killed people and was more dangerous than so-called magic.

"Okay, I remember!" Lawrence nodded earnestly.

Andrew smiled and said: "As long as you don't get close to there, there should be no problems, we have been living here for more than ten years, and I hope to have a good harvest today!" ”

Lawrence looked at Andrew and asked, "Is your leg okay already?" ”

"It's okay, I'm very strong!" Andrew has a strong physique, like a bear.

Lawrence also wanted to persuade him to rest for a few days, but when he thought of resting, the burden of life would be on Sariel alone.

It may not be that you can eat enough without paying taxes, but it is Andrew, a powerful man, who makes Saril eat every day.

Whether it's farming or hunting, it can be a bit difficult to support a family, but it's much easier to support yourself and your daughter.

In particular, the products in this mountain do not seem to be weak, the fertility of the land is sufficient, and there is no other human competition, so it is not difficult to survive.

The fact that human beings can continue forever means that most of the time they are able to meet the needs of reproduction and survival.

It is no problem for a mountain with abundant forests and vegetation to feed two people, but it is a problem to feed a village.

However, humans are social animals, and as long as it is an area suitable for human survival, sooner or later it will develop into a village.

Andrew likes to talk a lot, probably because he has a bad relationship with his daughter, and after meeting Lawrence, he found someone to talk to.

"There are a lot of rules in the mountains, such as not sitting down, not killing animals indiscriminately, and not killing the cubs that are not dead unless it is winter."

"Normally, the prey dropped in the trap is enough for us to eat, but the wolves and foxes here have been killed, leaving only wild boars and some grazing guys."

"If you encounter a wild boar, you must kill it, otherwise it will destroy our traps and fields."

"This kind of thing is too dangerous for you, if you encounter a wild boar, you should get away from these grumpy creatures!"

Lawrence and Andrew inspect nearby traps together, and the first trap is located near a hillside stone pile.

Near the top of the hillside, there are traps made of fallen leaves and sharp sticks.

Andrew explains: "This one is for catching rabbits, and I've caught five rabbits with this trap!" ”

Lawrence squatted on the ground and looked at this device that dug a pit and put some spikes to call it a trap, this thing was mostly lucky, mainly because this mountain was rich in resources and there were enough stupid animals.

In this kind of mountainous area, you can catch prey by digging a pit at will, just like Andrew who fell into the swamp before.

Andrew was even more proud when he saw Lawrence's attentive appearance.

"I'll take you to see my other traps, and the trap I'm most proud of is the trap for hunting wild boars, and that trap is a lot bigger than this!"

Lawrence was a little curious, "Andrew, how often can you harvest your prey?" ”

Andrew smiled: "This depends on luck, if you handle the meat well, you can eat meat every month!" ”

You don't eat meat every day, you eat meat every day, that's something that most nobles can't do.

Even if you are a hunter, you can't eat meat every day.

The tools of this era are very backward, iron tools are scarce, there is a lack of modern hooks, fishing lines and fishing nets and other props, and the success rate of fishermen is also low.

It's not every day that you catch a fish, and if you can catch a fish every day, there must be something evil.

Fish and meat are a matter of luck, and the most affordable ones are farming, gathering and farming.

Andrew's main food for the family still comes from breeding and farming, and there is a field of farmland a few hundred meters away from the yard.

Farmland needs the right soil, and living in a place that needs to be ventilated and have a good view.

It's not easy to survive in this era, and Lawrence, despite missing the fridge and air-conditioner, has come to terms with the fact that he's been there.

"Uncle Andrew, is there a good place to live near that cabin of mine?"

Lawrence wanted to hear from experts, and Andrew was undoubtedly the one with the most voice in this place.

Andrew thought for a moment and quickly said, "That place is not suitable for habitation. ”

Lawrence asked, "What doesn't fit?" ”

Andrew explains: "There is no suitable farmland in the mountains, the open space there is covered with weeds and trees, and if you can't farm for a year or two, you won't survive the winter. ”

Even in mountainous and forested areas, the food problem is still a big problem.

There's nothing wrong with relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, but if you just rely on gathering, it's fine in the summer, but it's more troublesome in the winter.

"There is still some time before winter, and I also carry a few silver with me, which can be exchanged for some grain for the winter, and the rest will be said next year."

Missing the autumn harvest and winter storage, Lawrence had no choice but to spend money to solve the problem.

Andrew smiled and said: "Yin'er can't spend it here, it's all about exchanging things for things here, and only those hard things will be used when it's close to Big Hoof City." ”

Lawrence said helplessly: "Then you can only watch it slowly." ”

The two laughed and chatted casually, but Sophia, who followed behind, was nervous.

Slave owners often choose to use slaves as currency when they are in financial difficulties.

Sophia has seen this kind of thing a lot, slaves are like goats and piglets, they will be eaten or sold when they are raised a little.

Most male slaves lived to be less than twenty-five years old, and were used for war attrition, mines, or dangerous experiments.

And almost all the female slaves could not escape the fate of being resold.

Sophia could only pray, praying that day would come later.
