Lawrence had a long dream, and everything in it was warm and dreamy, as vague as a dream.

By the time Lawrence woke up from his dream, winter had arrived.

It seemed like a long, long time, as if I had just arrived in this strange world.

Whew~ The cold wind outside the house blew - a cold cold wind blew on Lawrence's face.

The cold and sober reality dispelled the haze caused by the dream, and Lawrence quickly realized the reality and the arrival of winter.

Lawrence rose from his heavy old quilt, and the blanket on his body was stitched together with deerskin and sheepskin, heavy and warm.

Carefully put on your shoes and walk out of the hunter's hut with deer's head, wolf's head, and ox head.

Outside, it was already snow-white, and the slopes where you could still see a lot of grass had been covered with a layer of white.

The place in front of Lawrence was also surrounded by snow with the soles of his shoes.

"Lawrence!"

Andrew was busy in the kitchen when he saw Lawrence coming out of the house and greeted him warmly.

"Come over Lawrence, there's still some time to eat, we need to do some work."

Lawrence walked over and said, "Okay, what do you need me to do?" ”

Andrew tied the water tank in front of him with a rope, "I'm going to move this water tank to the house, otherwise the water here will freeze in the winter, and you can help me move those wooden barrels for pickles into it." ”

"Okay." Lawrence agreed.

As soon as the cold of winter arrived, it began to be temporarily isolated by tedious work.

Most of the things that Lawrence and Andrew need to do are manual work, and Sariel and Sophia also do some light and tedious work.

The wooden barrel for pickling pickles is very heavy, and this kind of thing of more than 100 catties is a bit difficult for most women and children.

Fortunately, although Lawrence is not strong and strong, he can barely pick up a hundred pounds of things and walk a dozen steps.

During the years of hard work on the manor, although he was beaten and ridiculed and insulted, he also exercised Lawrence's physical strength.

Of course, Lawrence would never be grateful for these sufferings, let alone those who allowed themselves to suffer.

With the barrel in his hands, Lawrence slowly and with all his might, approached the main house.

When Sophia came out, she saw this side and quickly ran over and took a hand, "Master, I'll help you." ”

"Okay." Lawrence relaxed a little, but he didn't dare to let go of his weight, "Sophia, help me watch the road so I can settle down with confidence." ”

Sophia withdrew her hand, "It's time to move forward!" It's time to lift your feet! ”

Lawrence was reminded by Sophia that he could rest assured that he could put his mind into the carrying, and when he entered the house, Sophia quickly brought the stones and put them away, so that Lawrence could put down the barrel and rest for a while.

Andrew stood in the room and looked at Lawrence who came in, clasped his hands in front of him and said, "Lawrence, you are going to exercise, now your physical strength is really not good." ”

"With a barrel of this weight, Saril can easily lift it."

Lawrence sat down on the chair next to him with some strength, and said helplessly: "I will, I will take time out to exercise and strengthen my endurance." ”

Andrew proposed, "Then work out with me, and I'll teach you wrestling in return for what you teach Sariel." ”

"Okay." Lawrence has no objection now.

When winter came, Lawrence had no other place to stay but to stay here for a while.

At this time, Saliel came in with a bucket of water and said directly, "But Lawrence would like to help him build the house on the mountain." ”

Andrew looked at Lawrence suspiciously, "Lawrence, is what Sariel said true?" ”

Lawrence suddenly didn't know what to say, and he didn't know if Sariel was helping him or rejecting him.

It's really hard to guess what she was thinking......

"I do want to have my own house sooner." Lawrence confessed honestly.

When Andrew heard this, he said helplessly: "I did promise you this, then I will help you when the snow stops, I know where there is wood suitable for building a house." ”

Lawrence didn't expect Andrew to be so cheerful, "I thank you so much, but building a house is not a simple matter, and the two of us may not be able to end a winter." ”

Sophia quickly said, "And me and Sariel!" ”

Andrew asked, "Oh, by the way, how big are you going to build?" ”

Lawrence, of course, wanted a house as big as possible, but after a little thought, he quickly replied with reason:

"It's a little smaller than this one, I already have a plan, do you think it would be more appropriate to build a stone house?"

Andrew thought for a moment and quickly said, "The stone house is indeed better, so that it requires fewer things. ”

Lawrence drew a circle on the ground with his hand, "My plan is to build a stone house like this, first determine a rough range, put a fireplace in it, and then dig a pit around the edge of the circle to base the wall." ”

He quickly described to the three people in the room the house the house he was going to build.

"The walls were piled up with stones, the pits were dug to stabilize the resistance between the walls and the ground, and the walls were surrounded by staggered stones and dirt branches, with a thatched roof at the top."

Lawrence is talking about traditional stone houses, which can also be said to be thatched huts that resemble tents.

This type of prehistoric or primitive house is simpler and more suitable for the current environment.

Lawrence not only has technology that is more advanced than its era, but also technology that is even more backward than them.

"Although there is only one ring of stones on the wall of my stone house, these stones are like bricks, and two or three pieces are stacked in front and back to form a one-meter-wide stone wall, which can definitely withstand the wind and rain."

Andrew originally thought that as long as a few pieces of wood were stacked on top of each other, he would build a shed, but he didn't expect Lawrence to design the house himself.

"Lawrence, you're going to build a house, aren't you?" Andrew quickly said, "Then listen to you." ”

Lawrence looked at Andrew gratefully, "Thank you! ”

Andrew smiled and said, "It's okay, let's keep working, don't delay eating." ”

"Good!" Lawrence worked harder.

When it was time for dinner, Lawrence noticed that today's meal was much better than yesterday's, and immediately thought that Sariel was a good girl.

After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to rest, because the snow cooled down, Lawrence and Andrew went to sleep in the cabin, and Sariel slept with Sophia in a much warmer room.

Lawrence wasn't used to sleeping with an uncle, but he couldn't help it now.

Fortunately, there was no need to take off their clothes at this time, and the two took off their shoes and went directly into the bed.

"I have to get up a few times at night, and I'm always woken up on snowy nights," says Andrew. ”

Lawrence doesn't feel anything, "Okay, it's okay. ”

Andrew quickly lay down, his woolen shoulders and a long sword at the head of the bed that he had not carried before.

After more than ten seconds, Andrew suddenly asked, "Lawrence, will it snow tomorrow?" ”

Lawrence thought for a moment, "I don't know, I don't think so, usually heavy snow is after the grass turns yellow and the leaves fall from the trees." ”

"That's right." Andrew nodded, looking at the tightly closed wooden door and the dark night, "Lawrence, I'm going to go out in a while." ”

Lawrence put his head on the outside of the fur quilt, did not breathe in the smell inside, curled up and lay down, and said, "Where to go?" ”

"A trip to the South." Andrew said calmly, "Do you need me to bring you a message?" ”

Lawrence was even more curious, "I don't need to, what are you going to do there?" ”

Andrew said, "Buy slaves. ”

Lawrence was very confused, "Why?" ”

Andrew sighed, "I wanted to buy a female slave for Sariel, and after Sophia arrived, I found out that Sariel had been so lonely all along. ”

Lawrence frowned and said, "I advise you not to go out for a while, there may be a war outside." ”

Andrew closed his eyes, "I know that only this is the time when a new slave girl will appear in the store." ”

Lawrence sat up and looked at Andrew seriously, "You were going to be caught in the past...... They will take you into the army and force you to work for them! ”

Andrew smiled, "The south I'm going to is the south that I arrived by boat, and I have a lot of friends who sail in the ice sea. ”
