This year's harvest is not bad, and with the pork and fish that Andrew brought back from the village, the winter can be comfortably passed by the cat.

But it could have been like this, but because of the arrival of Lawrence, Sariel and Andrew had a lot of things to do.

Lawrence woke up early in the morning.

"Andrew, teach me how to drive a sled!"

While Andrew was still sleeping, Lawrence got up dressed and called him.

Whoohoo~huhuhu~ In response to Lawrence was Andrew's purring.

After Andrew woke up from his wine last night, he secretly drank some wine while he was sleeping, and when he came down the mountain, he secretly hid a bottle of soju while Saril was not looking.

For the men of the North, no amount of wine is too much.

Drinking, eating meat, and sleeping are all common characteristics of men in the North.

Andrew doesn't need to wake up so early every day, he was busy with things, which is one of the busy days of the year, and most of the winter is a good time to sleep for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, Sariel pushed open the door and entered, looking annoyed when she smelled the mixed smell of dog hair and alcohol.

It didn't take long for Andrew to come out of the house, his expression a little helpless and worried.

"Andrew! I learned how to drive a dog cart! ”

Lawrence ran over with Tim in his hand.

A rope is tied to the big white dog Tim, and a wooden raft in the shape of a field is attached to the back of the rope, and Sophia squats on the wooden raft to skate.

The nearby snow turned into ice due to meltwater, and because the ice and snow were too shallow, it was easy to scratch the sled, so Lawrence simply made a plank himself.

He led the big white dog Tim, and Tim happily pulled the little dot behind him to follow.

Andrew was still a little sleepy, leaning against the wooden wall of the kitchen at this time, holding his hands in front of him and yawning lazily.

"What kind of car are you doing? Doug won't teach you how to actually drive a sled dog. ”

Lawrence said confidently, "Of course I know, but it will definitely be dangerous for me to drive a sled dog, and it will be a great burden for three sled dogs, and now it is enough to use them as helpers to pull the cart, just like using domes." ”

"You see, if I just pull Tim, they can help me pull the wood and stone up the hill in planks, which is much more convenient than it is for me!"

The main role of the sled dog is to carry goods in the ice and snow, although it also has the role of pulling people, but at the moment Lawrence does not need it.

It doesn't matter if you don't know how to drive, you can pull the sled dog and control the steering wheel.

Of course, it would be more convenient to know how to drive, but not now, and I don't want to use it in the mountains once I learn it.

The area where the sled dogs are used has always been the ice field, not the mountain forest.

If you really drive a sled dog down the mountain, you are not responsible for yourself and Sophia.

"Sophia, come, it's time for you to pull the car, don't be afraid."

Lawrence quickly switches positions with Sophia, so that Sophia can also learn to walk or run with the sled dog.

Sophia got up from the sled board and looked nervously at the big panting dog, "Can I?" ”

Lawrence encouraged: "No problem, today the two of us went out for a walk with the three of them, they already think we are drivers, they will definitely not bite you, take it easy, be confident, I will watch from the side." ”

Sophia nodded, and began to take over the reins as Lawrence watched.

"Wow!" Tim had a curiosity about the little dot that Lawrence didn't understand, and soon the big guy wanted to pounce on Sophia.

Sophia stayed where she was, her face turning pale with fear.

At the critical moment, Lawrence, who was standing on the sidelines and watching, quickly blocked in front of Sophia and pushed Tim, who wanted to come over and get close, to the side of the snow.

Tim quickly rolled on the snow and then happily got up again.

Lawrence said to Sophia: "It's okay, these dogs are too lively when they don't work, I'll pull them first today, Sophia, you can take care of the car." ”

Sophia nodded quickly, "Good!" ”

Andrew watched from the sidelines, feeling that Lawrence was not like a slave owner treating a slave to Sophia, nor like a nobleman treating a serf, but more like a father treating his daughter, and even more gentle than many father-daughter relationships.

"Lawrence." Andrew reminded: "Tie the three to a rope and they won't run around and they won't pick people." ”

Lawrence wondered, "Why?" ”

Andrew said casually: "Why? How do I know why? Anyway, that's how Doug cares about that group of puppies, and a single puppy is always running around, but if they are all together, they won't have so much curiosity. ”

Lawrence didn't know about it before, and he couldn't have thought of doing it.

Especially yesterday Saril also reminded not to take three dogs to pull a sled at once, otherwise they will be taken away by the dogs.

Hearing Andrew's contrary advice today, Lawrence is sure that Sarile has actually had several dogs dead before, and her advice in this regard is not so credible.

"I see, today I'm going to collect some hay to cover the pea seedlings, so I should be able to survive the winter."

"I teach Sophia and Saliel at noon, do Andrew want to learn together?"

Lawrence decided to instruct the girls in the cultural class today, after all, the three sled dogs are mainly used by themselves, and these three sled dogs have a lot of appetite, which is larger than the three of them, and it is not an extra bowl of rice for Andrew's family.

Andrew yawned, "I don't study, I'm going to sleep at noon." ”

After speaking, Andrew went to the kitchen to find something to eat.

Lawrence and Saliel go to the utility room to get the gear for the three sled dogs.

The three big dogs were still in good spirits and kept trying to break free from Lawrence's control, but when Lawrence and Sophia took out the ropes, they quickly quieted down.

They must know what the rope is for, and they have an instinctive conditioned reaction.

Lawrence tied the three sled dogs to a rope in order, and sure enough, the big dogs, who would choose their own direction when they were led alone, now honestly followed the rope's traction.

Lawrence pulled the leash that held the three dogs on a leash and found that this tandem method was much less laborious than the parallel connection!

"Sophia, you try again." Lawrence handed the rope to Sophia and encouraged, "I'm with you by the side, don't be afraid." ”

Sophia was really not too afraid, took the rope given by Lawrence, and then pulled the big dog like a foal.

"Let's go!" Lawrence shouted, not knowing what the tavern keeper Doug usually used to direct the sled dogs.

Lawrence didn't need to command, and when Sophia pulled the rope, Tim honestly followed.

This time Tim didn't run around in high spirits, nor did he show excessive affection.

Lawrence said to Sophia, "Sophia, you pull them around the neighborhood and don't go too far around the house. ”

"Good ......" Sophia also felt that these big dogs were a lot more honest and had a little confidence.

Lawrence stood there this time and watched, and as he was watching, Andrew came out of the kitchen.

"Well, it's not bad." Andrew ate venison and bread and didn't know what good in his mouth meant.

Lawrence paid attention to Sophia's situation and said, "These three dogs look very good. ”

Andrew smiled: "Doug is not willing to lend me the best dog, the best dog is not easy to use with other owners, these three are ordinary cart dogs, the real power is the head dog who leads the team." ”

"You see that they are more afraid of the people who are standing in front of their line, even if it is a small point, as long as they are tied to the front of the rope, they will go with them."

Lawrence thought the three sled dogs were the best, but now it doesn't seem to be.

This made Lawrence even more curious about the tavernkeeper Doug.
