The darkness began to reced.

Lawrence waited in the cave and remained quietly for a moment.

It was only after the sky grew brighter that he could see weeds and water droplets a meter or two away in the dim woods that he slowly crouched down and exited the cave.

Draped the animal skin blanket behind his back, Lawrence tied it around his waist with a rope so that the blanket was tied to his body.

Sharp sticks cut holes in the blanket of animal skins, and several ropes were attached to the ropes around the waist from the hides behind the shoulders to make a simple cloak style.

Lawrence took his multipurpose stick and set off, going back to sleep today, and talking about the work tomorrow.

In addition to striking the grass and scaring the strength of the land, this sturdy stick can also support the body and act as a weapon at critical moments.

Or when you roll down a hill, you can brake it.

Similar to the rules and regulations of many factories, many of its functions do not come from utopia, but from afterthought.

Just a few steps away, Lawrence found a windfall near a pile of stones.

A squirrel with its head smashed and only its tail falling outside.

Lawrence didn't want to deal with the squirrel, he didn't have the strength to handle the prey now, and he didn't want to waste his energy on these few taels of meat.

This thing looks very light, so I imagined that I could just take it with you.

But Lawrence now has crutches in one hand and guards against accidents in the other.

The trail after the rain was very difficult, and neither Lawrence nor Andrew lacked food, so there was no need to waste time hanging this thing around their waists.

Lawrence stopped not to eat the squirrel, but to find a crow standing on the grave of the hapless squirrel.

The crow didn't seem to be afraid of people, and stood there quietly watching Lawrence.

Lawrence looked at the crow and felt that there was not much to eat, and he couldn't catch it himself.

It's a waste of time to catch it if you can.

Ignoring the crow, Lawrence casually said, "Let me give you the little one, let's eat." ”

The crow tilted his head, as if unable to understand what Lawrence meant.

Lawrence did not waste time and quickly descended the mountain along the road that had been trodden in the past few days.

Shortly after Lawrence left, the little crow, which was more than ten centimeters tall, jumped onto the wet ground and quickly pecked at the squirrel's tail and buttocks.

After a moment's scrutiny, it quickly backed away, looked left and right, and when it was sure that there was no other danger, it quickly took another step forward and pecked again.

After repeating it many times, after confirming that the squirrel was not dangerous, the crow stood next to the squirrel and began to tear the squirrel with its beak and claws, tearing off the squirrel's internal organs with its mouth and swallowing it into its belly.

Lawrence's head was a little drowsy, and he knew very well that he couldn't always think about his discomfort and illness at this time, and he should think about something else.

"One person is indeed a little uncomfortable, and it is not good to call Sophia up, there is no place to live, and it will be more troublesome for two people."

"It looks like it's going to snow, and this year may be the only way to do it, so let's help Andrew for a while, hunt, and survive the winter in the cabin."

Lawrence was sick and had no strength to fight for the time being.

Without tools and no one to help, you won't be able to build a suitable house in a matter of days.

Usually this kind of thing takes a few months in a normal area.

Preparations begin in the spring, during which they do farm work and rest, and then remove windy and rainy days, and can only be barely completed in the autumn.

It's not that you can work when the rain stops, usually once it rains, even if it only rains for one night, it will stop for three to five days and start again.

One is that the road is slippery, and the other is that many people have their own things to do, and if they want to assemble a group of capable laborers, they must be greeted at least a day or two in advance.

In the manor, it was faster, and the nobles had the right to forcibly call serfs, and a simple wooden house could usually be built in half a month.

In terms of work efficiency, the peasants who are out of work and the peasants who are not off work are two different things.

In this era, unless they were fighting wars, or were themselves serfs who served for life, they were all peasants who were not out of production.

"The Kingdom of Luofen should be going to fight the Southern Kingdom, and it will be mobilized this winter, and when the time comes, after occupying the Southern Kingdom, the royal capital will be set up in a richer land, closer to the south."

Lawrence pondered the state affairs, the barbarian kingdom was always expanding, and he was especially fond of occupying agricultural land.

The southern kingdom has always been a scattered sand, with hundreds of nations scattered like trees.

The same is true of the kingdom of Lofen, the king will distribute the land to the rest of the nobles, and will not interfere with how the nobles rule and collect taxes, but the rights and duties are also equal, and these nobles must send troops in the next battle!

The current royal capital is the conquered land, and these barbarians are keen on robbery and invasion, believing that only the brave who die in battle can go to the kingdom of God.

This year's harvest will be much smaller than last year's, and although a large reduction in production is likely to occur next year, there is already a food crisis to some extent this year.

According to the barbarians' thinking, it is God's will, it is God who reminds them that they cannot continue to be wasted, and that it is time to sharpen their axes and armor and go out and prove themselves!

Lawrence believed that as long as he was in the field of vision of the kingdom of Loven, or the kingdom of the barbarians, he was destined to not be able to peace.

However, the group of barbarians who went out of the mountains were good at plains and naval warfare, but they were not good at fighting in the mountains and forests, and never meant to get close to the mountains and forests.

Normal people would do this, after all, the area near the mountains is not a good place, whether it is the barbarians or the southern kingdom empire, they all look for trouble in fertile places.

Of course, the dominance of the barbarian period was not so strong, and now the barbarians are divided into the plain-dominated kingdom of Luofen, the coastal barbarians mainly ice sea pirates, and a very small number of mountain and forest barbarians.

The mountain barbarians do not have much sense of existence, and they will soon be forgotten by history if they do not want to forge ahead.

Ice pirates mainly go out to sea to rob coastal areas, even villages and towns including the coastal areas of the kingdom of Loven.

The main targets of the looting were livestock and grain, and their hometowns belonged to the coastal areas, and because of the cold and the low harvest of crops and livestock, these were the priority when looting.

The barbarians of the plains, on the other hand, were not very fond of grain.

They had established stable trading posts with brutal violence, and had trade relations with several kingdoms on the route, so they prioritized obtaining gold, silver, treasure, and weapons from their neighbors, as well as human and livestock that could be trafficked.

Wars were decided by councils, by kings, wizards, and several great nobles, and a well-planned invasion was hatched.

After deciding on it, it was a simple matter to start a war, and it only took a day or two to quickly assemble a team of hundreds of people to go out and loot.

Sometimes even faster, the city's nobles and serfs could board the ships in a day.

Lawrence thought about the war that was none of his business, and as he walked, he found himself near Andrew's house.

At this time, my head no longer hurts, and my body is much more relaxed, and I don't have the feeling of fever and chills before.

"Fortunately, I'm young, and I can carry it without taking medicine when I have a cold."

Lawrence breathed a sigh of relief, in this backward period, youth and strength are really capital and heritage.

Even when it comes to capturing slaves, young slaves are killed first, because they usually die in the dirty and smelly cabin and do not survive to get off the ship.

Compared with a lot of knowledge and experience, the young body that is growing is the biggest help, which virtually avoids most of the life and death tests.

"You have to give birth to a child while you're young, otherwise it will be very troublesome to regenerate when you're old, and the level of medicine in this era can't be counted on, so it's better for me to find a wife who is younger."

Lawrence thinks about happy things, and feels that Sophia can be a mother at the age of sixteen.

"Sariel will be sixteen next year, and Andrew must be in a hurry."

Lawrence thought of the beautiful Sariel, and Andrew wanted him to marry Sariel, but unfortunately Sariel had no idea of marrying him.

As he walked, Lawrence finally returned safely to the vicinity of the cabin.

Sariel was feeding the chickens and greeted Lawrence when she saw him returning, "Lawrence, you're back." ”

"Master!" Sophia peeked out of the coop and greeted happily.

"Hmm." Lawrence said: "It rained in the mountains last night, and I didn't sleep well all night, so I came back and got some sleep. ”

Saliel said, "Okay! ”

Lawrence walked towards the house, but before he could reach the door of the main house, he was stopped by Andrew from the yard.

"Lawrence, come here, I have something to ask you."

Lawrence looked at Andrew's serious look and thought about the reason, was it a dagger thing?

It was the only thing Lawrence could think of, he had been too busy to explain the dagger thing before.

"Hi Andrew, I picked up a dagger in the mountains the other day, I used it very well, but I forgot it in the mountains and didn't take it down."

Andrew said impatiently: "That doesn't matter, I heard Sariel say, can you know the weather?" ”

Lawrence gave a strange expression, "What's wrong with this?" ”

Andrew looked at Lawrence's expression and asked solemnly, "Do you really know when it will rain and snow?" ”

"Yes, but not exactly, maybe, but maybe not." Lawrence replied casually, and said curiously, "Who told you that I understand this?" How do you know I understand? ”

Sophia, who was not far away, took the initiative to say, "I told Sariel yesterday!" ”

"Oh." Lawrence asked casually and continued to say to Andrew: "I rarely get caught in the rain, but I was still drenched last night, and now I'm going to go in and sleep Andrew." ”

Andrew said, "That's terrible, go sleep in my room, it's warmer in my room." ”

"Okay, thank you!" Lawrence happily went to Andrew's house.

He had slept in a makeshift place, which was naturally not as good as Sariel and Andrew's beds.

The tired Lawrence soon fell asleep comfortably, and he didn't care about the rain.

Most of the rain falls at night, and the success rate is very high.

As long as you don't go out after dark, the chance of dodging a rainstorm can be increased to 90 percent!!

Lawrence, who relied on luck and experience to avoid heavy rains, was already a weather expert in Sophia's eyes.

In contrast to ordinary teenagers and many adults, Lawrence was particularly fond of speaking in a condescending, or educational, and wise tone.

Wisdom and experience are wisdom and experience only where they are needed, and trouble where they are not needed.

This is very good in front of Sophia and most people who are not familiar with him, and everyone thinks he is very good.

It's not good in his own estate, because he has been an ordinary country boy since he was a child, and when he talks nonsense, what he gets is not thinking and trust, but a slap and a stick about work.

So Lawrence got out of there.
