The men were busy in the mountains for a while, and when they returned to the house in the evening, they found Andrew walking in the fields.

"Andrew, are you waiting for us?"

Lawrence walked over and greeted him with a smile.

Andrew hears Lawrence's voice, as well as the barking of dogs.

He looked at the field again, "There are a few birds looking for food in the field, I thought we had picked up enough beans in the field, what could those birds find to eat when they flew down?" ”

Lawrence smiled and said, "Maybe it's looking for bugs to eat." ”

Andrew looked at Lawrence suspiciously, "There are also bugs coming out to crawl in the snow in winter?" ”

Lawrence explains: "They don't crawl in the snow, but they hibernate in the land, and whether it's bugs or flies, they're still alive in the winter, but not as active as in the summer." ”

"Just like seeds, small animals like frogs and snakes hibernate like bugs, and so do bugs."

Andrew thought for a moment, "I thought only bears would sleep in winter. ”

"Our bears don't fall asleep so easily, they always come out in the winter to make trouble," says Sariel. ”

Lawrence explains: "These bears may have been woken up from hunger while sleeping. ”

Andrew warned: "Bears are very dangerous in winter, and it is best for you not to wander in the mountains in winter. ”

The group walked towards the house, and Lawrence nodded in agreement.

"Definitely." Lawrence looked at Andrew sincerely, "Andrew, can you teach me swordsmanship?" I want to learn some swordsmanship for self-defense. ”

Andrew smiled: "Swordsmanship is not for self-defense, I'm hungry, it's time to eat." ”

He soon went into the house and was busy with dinner, as if he didn't want to teach any swordsmanship.

Lawrence was a little disappointed, but he didn't give up on the matter and quickly followed.

"Andrew, I'll help you."

Swordsmanship and knowledge in this era are very valuable things, Lawrence easily passed on his knowledge to others, and Andrew did not want to pass it on, but he didn't want to pass it on simply.

Unlike Lawrence, Andrew values his swordsmanship as valuable as a traditional craftsman's craft for eating.

Lawrence can make traps, write and read, build tool houses, farm and hunt, and even drive a sled dog.

Andrew didn't hate Lawrence, and from the bottom of his heart he always wanted Lawrence to be part of the family.

But that doesn't mean he's willing to teach Lawrence everything.

When he went to bed at night, Andrew took the initiative to say: "If you want to learn my swordsmanship, then let your body be strong first, now you are too light." ”

Lawrence quickly came to his senses, sat up and said, "Good! I also feel like I look a little too light now. ”

Lawrence thought about the food for the three dogs these days.

The three dogs were very active, eating a pot full of potato soup every day, and also feeding some jerky and eggs, which the average family could not afford to raise such a large dog with a strong appetite.

What three dogs eat, enough food for five or six small children.

While Lawrence and Sophia were well fed, he brought three sled dogs with a big appetite, so he naturally felt a little unhappy.

The next morning, while eating, Andrew suddenly looked at Sariel.

"Sariel, I'm going on a long trip tomorrow."

Saliel looked at Andrew and said with an obviously disagreeing expression, "What are you going to do?" ”

Andrew had already guessed Sariel's reaction and said, "Go to Binghai and ask the old guy to borrow some money." ”

Lawrence ate quietly, knowing that Andrew was going out to buy slaves, but apparently Andrew was unwilling to tell Saril the truth.

Sariel didn't understand Andrew's thoughts, "Borrow money? Why borrow money? We lack nothing. ”

Andrew glanced at Lawrence and said gently, "I want to buy a piece of farmland at the foot of the mountain, so that we can have more farmland in the future, and we don't have to venture hunting in the mountains anymore." ”

"I'll be back soon, maybe a month or two."

Sariel objected directly, "No! It's good now, we don't have to live in the town. ”

Andrew said: "It's not to live in it, it's to buy a little bit of land close to the town, and even if we don't plant it, we can let Lawrence plant it." ”

Lawrence was silent, and the way to acquire land in this day and age was more than just money.

Compared to Sariel, a native, Lawrence knows the inside story of land ownership, which is the default law of strength in savage kingdoms.

Andrew himself has said before that money can't buy anything here, and it is impossible for local villagers to sell land because of outside currency.

But if Andrew robs it directly, no one but the victim will object, and the victim will usually receive the rest of the compensation from the community.

From the tavern owner to the rest of the town, Andrew was welcome to join them.

Sariel's opposition didn't help, and the girl was finally forced to accept the fact that her father was going to go away.

Andrew seemed to have prepared everything for a long time, and after saying it in the morning, he packed up his things and left at noon.

As he was leaving, Andrew stared at Lawrence with beastly eyes.

"Lawrence, promise me that you must protect Sariel!"

Lawrence nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, leave it to me!" I'll do everything I can to protect Sariel! ”

Andrew is still a little uneasy, he is actually not optimistic about Lawrence's strength.

But because of this, Sariel herself has the ability to suppress Lawrence.

Andrew didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing, but at least he wouldn't have done this kind of thing before, and it was only now that he had two more trustworthy people in his family that he had the idea of going out.

Without too much nonsense, Andrew soon rode away on a domme sheep under the reluctant gaze of Saliel.

He brought not only dry rations and mounts, but also swords and spirits.

After Andrew left, Saliel was a little sullen, but fortunately, Sophia was with her and quickly accepted all this.

Lawrence gets up every morning to run and walk the dog, consciously exercising his body coordination.

The three sled dogs are Lawrence's best mentors, not only increasing Lawrence's running speed and giving Lawrence three competing teammates, but also improving Lawrence's fighting and reflexes.

Lawrence would always fight them with sticks.

At first, it was to practice swordsmanship, but after two days, I found that if I continued like this, I wouldn't dare to be ruthless when I beat people in the future, so I directly discarded the wooden stick and practiced wrestling.

When the three big dogs besieged, Lawrence gradually figured out a set of rolling anti-killing techniques and quick getting up techniques while being pressed down again and again.

Standing up every day under the pounce of three big dogs, Lawrence found that he had more strength.

In Lawrence's opinion, the three sled dogs are much better than Andrew in terms of mentoring.
