045 Recuperation 1
After the hoof was repaired, the ground was littered with gray and white nail crumbs.
Lawrence sat still and didn't move, concentrating on a few sheep pedicures just now.
This kind of work is generally not done by women, and it requires a certain amount of strength to fix the hooves of sheep and cows, and to prevent these animals that do not understand their brains from suddenly coming suddenly.
Even if some animals seem to be gentle, they are not human after all, and no one can guarantee that this thing will always be honest.
Hold the hooves in place with your arms or legs, and then use the other hand to move the knife, and the hooves also need a lot of force to cut off the worn cuticles.
Without Lawrence's orders, Sariel had already brought a broom and started sweeping up the dirt on the floor.
The nails that had fallen to the ground were quickly collected and thrown away.
Sophia looked at Saliel who was walking away, and then at Lawrence who was sitting on a stool.
"Are you going to herd sheep now?"
Lawrence said, "No, Sariel said it will rain today, so let's rest for a day today, I'll go find some wood, and you can help Sariel clean the house." ”
"Okay." Sophia obediently agreed, ran out and said, "I'll go find Sariel." ”
Cleaning is a hassle, but it doesn't require that much effort.
Lawrence was going to prepare two bags of charcoal, which would be of great use.
Near the hut was a wooden shed filled with large pieces of split firewood, which Andrew had prepared for the winter.
Lawrence used to use his brain before he did it.
Looking at the wood in this warehouse, Lawrence's eyes scanned back and forth over some of the wood.
"The first time I try to add some simple experience, and if it rains today, it is not suitable to make too much charcoal, so burn fifty catties of wood to determine the proportion of shipments."
"Fifty pounds of wood can be processed in the kitchen, and you don't need to watch it all the time outside."
Lawrence recalls how charcoal is made.
To put it simply, the volatile components in the charcoal are burned off at high temperatures, leaving more stable carbon molecules.
This generated charcoal can be ignited to generate a higher temperature.
The flame of the processed wood is disturbed by water vapor and mixed substances when burning, and the processed charcoal contains only more flammable charcoal, so it can produce a higher temperature.
For example, the charcoal stove that sells snacks or eats hot pot on the street emits high temperatures, but the flame is not as high as firewood.
Charcoal is a cleaner fuel than wood and is lighter.
However, the processing is more troublesome, so sometimes if you can burn wood, you will still burn wood fuel, and only a few high-end occasions use charcoal.
Fifty pounds of wood is not much, and Lawrence found a few large pieces of wood to move down, and it felt almost the same.
Using an axe to chop the wood into smaller pieces more suitable for processing, Lawrence walked to the kitchen with the wood in his arms.
Soon Lawrence came out with the wood in his arms.
"Oops, the oven can't be closed up and down, and if I plug the smoldering wood from this stove, Sarriel will get angry when she cooks at noon."
Lawrence was thinking of a solution when he suddenly felt that the air around him was a little dull and damp, and when he looked up at the sky, he noticed that a drop of rain fell from the sky and fell on his cheeks, which were somewhat hot.
"The experience of the mountain people is so accurate......"
Lawrence was now completely convinced.
However, Sariel, who should have known that it would rain today, ran home in a hurry with Sophia at this time.
It was raining lightly, and two little girls on the grass, one big and one small, were holding their skirts in both hands, and strode towards the house on the hillside.
Lawrence stood under the eaves and said in a relaxed tone, "Hi! I've prepared dry wood for you to warm up by the fire. ”
Sophia and Saliel quickly ran back, and the two had just gone to the river to fetch water, when they came back with empty buckets.
Sariel's hair and clothes were partially wet, and she dragged Sophia into the house.
"We're going to change our clothes, Lawrence, can you put the bucket outside and get some clean water?"
Lawrence smiled, "Of course, you guys can come into the house, I'll make a fire." ”
There was a brazier for heating in the winter, so Lawrence went to the kitchen to find some hay and branches, then went into the house and took out the brazier and started to light the fire.
Andrew's house has a lot of tools, and Lawrence remembered something after he successfully lit the fire.
"I remember that I promised Andrew to make him a toolbox, and I just happened to have time today, so let's make a box."
"By the way, I also made a wheel, the mountain road is steep and I don't need a car, but Sophia and her family can work a lot easier with a small cart."
"Toolbox, trolley, stone mill, a winter should be about the same."
Lawrence started to light a fire while thinking about things.
Suddenly, there was a tingling pain in the palm of Lawrence's hand.
Lawrence quickly looked at his palm and noticed a wooden thorn digging into the flesh of his palm.
His palms shook with tingling.
Carefully and gritting his teeth, he slowly pulled out the wooden thorns, Lawrence looked at the bleeding palm, and quickly ran to the kitchen to clean the wound.
Lawrence endured the pain and washed the wound, "This is trouble...... You can't do heavy work for at least six or seven days. ”
The most troublesome thing is the follow-up treatment of the wound, in case the wound is infected, it is even more troublesome, and you must be careful not to touch dirty things at this time, and you can't go to the livestock pen to work.
Three sled dogs can't touch either......
After thinking about it carefully, I suddenly realized that I would almost be a waste person in the next few days.
Thankfully, I am not alone now, if I am alone, then whether it is a sheepfold, a pigsty or three sled dogs, I should touch or touch, after all, I still have to live.
"Sophia! My hands are bleeding from the wood, so get some clean wool thread! ”
Sophia and Sariel were combing their hair in the room and quickly came out when they heard Lawrence's shout.
Lawrence's hands had been briefly rinsed by this time, but there was still blood on the floor of the house.
"Good!" Sophia quickly and hurriedly went to get something.
Sariel walked over and asked with concern, "Lawrence, are you alright?" After the wound bleeds, you can lick it and heal quickly! ”
Lawrence smiled and said, "I didn't brush my teeth after eating, my mouth was full of dirt, and the wound was not deep, it will be healed in a few days." ”
He doesn't trust his saliva and always thinks it's much safer to rest well and treat his wounds cleanly and effectively than licking his wounds with his tongue.
If there is no other way, then the original way is indeed the best way to deal with it.
But now there is no such urgency, the most important thing is to prevent the wound from expanding.
Sariel looked at the blood dripping from the ground, and looked at Lawrence, who didn't take this kind of thing to heart, and immediately became a little angry that Lawrence didn't take it seriously.
"I'll help you!" Sariel grabbed Lawrence's hand directly with her hand, then lowered her head and licked Lawrence's wound.
Lawrence doesn't take it personally, he cares about it, but he doesn't show his overnervousness.
Grabbed directly by Sariel's wrist, Lawrence wanted to break free, but was surprised to find that his hand seemed to be fixed by an iron hoop, and he couldn't move in mid-air.
Lawrence was licked by Saliel's palm, although he did not compete with the bear, but at this time, the first feeling of the beautiful village girl in front of him was not seductive and sexy.
Her strength is as great as a bear!
Sariel licked Lawrence's wound back and forth with the tip of her tongue a dozen times before she let go of her hand and said, "That's it, look, it's no more bleeding now." ”
There was no bloodshed just now...... Lawrence looked at his free right hand and said helplessly, "Yes, awesome, thank you Sariel." ”
Sariel felt the warmth of helping each other, and took the initiative to say: "You can't work these days, rest at home, in fact, there is nothing to do during this time, you can drink and sleep, the men here are like this." ”
"Okay, that sounds good." Lawrence perfunctorily agreed.
Sophia brought clean wool and cloth, and Lawrence quickly bandaged the wound, becoming a casualty in need of careful care.
