After two days, most of the snow and ice on the mountain have melted, and only a few areas still have snow that has not yet melted.

Sophia led the three dogs up the hill, pulling a patchwork of wooden planks behind them.

The wheels were too cumbersome to make, they needed to be made of bearings, and the wheels made of wood were not durable.

The roads in the mountains are also not suitable for wheels, or this simple plank is more suitable.

The front end of the board only needs to be processed a little.

Polished to a curved ski shape with a raised tip to reduce the chance of getting stuck on rocks and branches.

The three dogs were strong enough to pull the plank, and Lawrence placed hundreds of pounds of hoes and sticks on it.

Sophia led the dog in front, Lawrence and Saliel watched from behind, and when something moved and fell off the board, they would pick it up and put it on.

"These dogs can't work all the time, and they can't be allowed to pull carts when they come back," Salil reminded. ”

Of course, Lawrence knows this, whether it is ancient or future, animals cannot withstand the toss, and the more obedient the animal, the more careful it must be cared for, otherwise it will be easy to die.

Sled dogs are not the same as watchdogs, but they are not the same in value.

"I only use them for two hours a day, and I don't use them all the time, giving them plenty of time to run and play."

Except for critical periods, such as the cultivation period of cattle and sheep, and the cold winter transportation period of sled dogs, most of the time they will not be used intensively.

Even when it is used at high intensity, it will give eggs or good ingredients.

Sariel stopped talking about it when she saw that Lawrence knew.

As she walked, Saliel saw a mountain in the distance.

It was a mountain to the west, much farther than the foot of the mountain where Andrew's house was and the top of the mountain where it was at this time.

"Don't let these sled dogs go to Mount Talim over there."

Lawrence also looked at the mountain over there, "I remember that the mountain was poisonous, and there were a lot of animal carcasses in it. ”

Sariel warned: "No, it's not poison gas, there is a witch living there, you and Sophia must not go near there, or you will be captured by the witch!" ”

Lawrence remembered that Andrew had told him about the mountain, and now looking at Sariel's serious appearance, he thought it was Andrew's relationship.

"Oh, I see, Sariel, have you ever seen a witch?"

Lawrence thinks that this is Andrew's deception of the child, maybe there is indeed a danger there, but the reason should be more scientific.

"Yes." "I saw her once when I was a child, and I saw her at that time, a witch in a black dress, who entered the valley from a great distance, and the ground she walked withered as quickly as a burning wildfire. ”

Lawrence was shocked, is there really a witch?

Oh yes, this world is said to have magic, and there is no scientific explanation for your own travel.

Sarry warned, "Don't go near that mountain! ”

"I see." Lawrence nodded in agreement and said, "I hope to be able to stay safe, I don't want to risk anything." ”

Hearing Lawrence's words, Sariel warned again: "Lawrence, you'd better not say such things in front of other girls, you will be killed as cowards by the girls outside." ”

Lawrence looked at Sariel strangely, "Will it?" I have lived on the estate for more than ten years, and I have always been well-off. ”

"The girls here, especially in the western part of the Ice Sea Vakiri Territory, are different, they are all very good at fighting and have a lot of strength. ”

Lawrence said casually, "What does that have to do with me?" I don't go there again. ”

Sariel looked at Lawrence with a calm expression.

"The girls of Vakiri will take it as their honor to kill cowards, and both men and women will prove that they are no longer children with the captives they have captured, or the heads of cowards who are afraid to escape."

"The men and women of the Wakiri will come to the neighborhood to exchange food and breed, and when a child hears something like you, he will take you as a prey for hunting."

Lawrence frowned, "It's dangerous...... It seems that I am going to be mentally prepared to kill in advance. ”

"If you think like that, you won't be treated as prey, but be careful of the people on the other side of the ice sea, although it is divided into several places, they all like to make trouble and kill people," said Sariel. ”

Lawrence nodded and asked, "There are also female warriors on this side of the ice sea?" ”

The pirates did not consider themselves pirates, they considered themselves more people living near the ice sea, and at the same time were distinguished by their villages and ethnic groups, and the common language was the Chinese language of the King of Loven.

"There are some, you'd better pray to God not to meet them."

Lawrence said: "I used to live in a place where there were many able-bodied women, and of course there were slain slaves and slaves, and I had seen many of them, but I had never done them myself. ”

"I don't like fighting, but if I really have to, I think I should be able to kill the person who wants to kill me as a squirrel in order to survive."

Lawrence had always lived in this barbarian country, and he had no expectations of the so-called gentlemen and ladies.

Fighting and killing people in this barbaric country are noble deeds that prove their heroism.

Lawrence is not noble, but he will not sit still.

However, it is indeed necessary to improve his own strength, and just relying on some wooden thorns that he carries with him can not prevent the prying eyes of those barbarians.

Most barbarians will show it directly when they see that you are unhappy, and will take the initiative to deliberately find trouble.

If you want to survive in such a barbaric country, you not only need to have a strong elder like Andrew as a backer, but you also need to make some prestige.

It's too tiring to live like that, and after becoming famous, it is inevitable that hot-brained barbarians will come to challenge, it's all a life-and-death duel of honor, and no one cares about the humble life of the loser.

After thinking about it, Lawrence still thinks that it is better to live in seclusion in the mountains, and by the way, he should also build some defensive works to prevent the invasion of bandits.

It is also necessary to exercise, and now I am not short of food and clothing, and I must also have a plan to improve my skills and strength in addition to working to exercise endurance.

When I go back in the evening, I'll ask Andrew about swordsmanship, Andrew looks like he should be strong.

Lawrence had a rough mental preparation for the future, knowing what to do, what to prioritize, and what to do by the way.

The three men and the three dogs soon reached the top of the hill, and Lawrence began to draw lines on the ground with a man-tall branch, winding them in a large circle and a smaller circle.

The circular area in the middle of the two circles is to dig the foundation of the wall, and when it is dug, a stone higher than the pit is placed inside, and the wall is built by a column of three bricks with a thickness of one meter and five meters.

After that, the branches are erected around the wall as if it were a tent, and then a roof is built like an umbrella skeleton.

This project may take half a month, or it may be shorter.

While Lawrence was digging the pit, not only Sophia and Saliel were helping, but even the three dogs, who were resting and foraging nearby, joined in curiously and began to dig with their paws.
