After the palm injury, I couldn't do a lot of things, and at this time, I realized how important it is to have a healthy and intact body.

Fortunately, winter is the time to maintain health, and when there is enough food and fuel, the only thing to do is to survive this winter safely.

For dinner, bread, pickles, and bean soup were served.

The pea soup is cooked in a small pot and fire hanging from the roof, and every family here has this hot pot in their house, and some pieces of meat hang from it.

Cooking and heating flames rise to dry the upper chunks of meat, which can save a lot of fuel over time.

After eating a meal with his left hand, Lawrence said to the two men who had begun to clean up the table:

"I just have time in the evening, I'll make up for you."

Sophia said happily: "Good! ”

Salil actually wants to go back to sleep, and when she is full, she should rest honestly.

In the end, Salil did not object, and after packing up, she came over to listen to the class.

The three of them still study at the dining table, and the fire in the room is the best lighting tool.

It was pitch black outside, but inside the house was warmly lit by the fire.

Lawrence was explaining the multiplication problem when he suddenly heard the wind and turned his head to see the window being blown off.

Some white snowflakes flew in through the windows, accompanied by a cold wind that made the temperature feel drop.

"I'm coming!" Sophia saw that the wood and straw mats blocking the windows had been scraped off, and quickly volunteered to fill them.

Lawrence didn't say anything, walked to the door and looked out, and through the crack in the door he could see the sky outside.

The light rain had long since stopped, and under the bright moonlight, a silvery world was exuding a quiet winter atmosphere.

If you look closely, it even feels a little blue.

"It's snowing outside."

Lawrence opened the door and whispered, "I'll go see if the pen is closed." ”

Salil stood up and said, "I'm with you." ”

"Okay."

Lawrence also needed someone to help, and the two walked out with oil lamps.

The domes and the rest of the goats and sheep in the sheepfold were quietly huddled around the hay, huddled with each other for warmth.

The three piglets are also sleeping in a pile in the pigsty, and they know very well where the excrement area is, where the eating area is, and where the sleeping place is.

So Lawrence has always prepared hay beds for the three little pigs, and laid clean sand nearby.

The sheepfold and pigsty are semi-open-air, and after the snow, they have to face the cold and bad weather.

"Drive the pigs and chickens into the house," said Sariel, "or they will freeze to death outside." ”

"Okay." Lawrence promised to come down and get ready to go.

Saliel said directly: "You go to sleep in the house, I'll just come." ”

Lawrence knew that Sariel was a very persistent girl, so he could only say, "I'll take the lamp and help you illuminate it, otherwise you won't be able to see clearly." ”

Saliel did not refuse, and soon went to the chicken coop to catch the chickens first.

Several of the chickens were expertly grabbed by Saliel and then thrown into the kitchen and shut down.

The chickens will go to the firewood pile in the kitchen by themselves, and the three little pigs will make trouble when they are put into the kitchen, and they are not as frost-resistant as chickens and sheep, so they are quickly caught and thrown into the main house under the howl of killing pigs.

The process of chickens and pigs hiding lasted for more than ten minutes, and the three sled dogs sleeping in the hut also ran out excitedly to join in the fun.

Lawrence kept his injured hand under his armpit to keep warm, and did not touch the three sled dogs as he normally would.

The hustle and bustle was only temporary, and the courtyard soon became quiet again.

Lawrence returned to the warm cabin and continued to make the fire, and Sophia had blocked the window with blocks of wood and cloth.

Everyone had no desire to learn, and soon they were ready to go to bed.

"It's too cold in the hut," said Sariel, "Lawrence, you sleep here to-day, and the brazier continues to burn at night, and our firewood will last until the spring." ”

Lawrence, of course, had no problem, and with the help of Sariel and Sophia, he put the bed in the room where he had slept before, and the thickened animal skin mattress was warmer.

Although there are still many air leaks in the wooden house, it is very comfortable when you have enough to eat and drink and warm the house.

The three little pigs were not too curious, and after being thrown into the house, they lay down near the fire, and had no intention of going into the inner room.

The next day, Lawrence woke up and it was almost noon.

Lawrence sat on the bed and carefully looked at his palm, after a night's rest, his hand was not as painful as yesterday, and he could move his five fingers normally.

Exiting the house, Sophia and Saliel were found knitting wool by the fire.

"Master, there's hot rice in the pot, I'll get it for you." Sophia put down the sewing kit that Salyl had given her and stood up to serve Lawrence dinner.

Lawrence walked to the door and looked outside, where it was still snowing lightly.

"Sariel, when will this snow stop?"

Sariel continued to work on the gloves in her hand, "It stopped for a while in the morning, it just rained again, and it should snow again tomorrow." ”

Lawrence also feels that the snow in the mountains will not be short, and the winters here in the north have always been difficult.

"My hands are already healed, is there anything to do?"

"Nope." Sariel thought for a moment, "The sheep, pigs, chickens, and dogs have all been fed, and the meal has just been eaten, so you can drink some wine to warm up your body after eating, and then sleep comfortably." ”

Lawrence said helplessly: "Then I won't be able to sleep at night." ”

Saliel looked at Lawrence with a strange expression, "How come?" After drinking, you will definitely be able to sleep and sleep until dawn. ”

Lawrence was very speechless, "Then get up and continue to eat, drink and sleep?" ”

Sarriel thought for a moment, and then explained, "It's all like this. ”

The barbarians did this, using sleep to dispel the winter night.

Lawrence noticed the lack of entertainment here, and said, "I'll instruct you two to make a backgammon board, or the winter will be too boring." ”

Saliel was curious: "What is backgammon?" ”

"A kind of entertainment to pass the time." Lawrence went to the tool room to find a suitable plank and drew lines on it with a knife and a straight stick.

The chess pieces are replaced with wood chips first, and then make some pieces that look better and feel better when the hand is ready.

The rules of backgammon are simple, and Sariel and Sophia are also very learning times, and under the demonstration and guidance of Lawrence, they know how to play after a few rounds.

This game can only be played by two people, and the extra one is watching from the sidelines.

After discovering that Sophia and Saril were having fun, Lawrence went out to see the crops in the field himself.

Not only the peas he grows, but also the wheat of Andrew's family.

After being busy for a long time, I came back after a long day outside and found that the two girls were still playing chess.

Lawrence realized that he hadn't done anything for the day, and when he returned to the warm room, he became sleepy, and quickly shook his head to dispel the sleepiness.

It's okay to sleep, but sleeping day and night is undoubtedly a waste of time.

Lawrence rebandaged the bandages on his hands, then lay on the bed thinking about charcoal firing, wheel bearings, and the internal structure of the stone mill.

A snowy winter afternoon was quieter than usual, Lawrence thought and fell asleep unconsciously.

When I woke up again, it was already a silent night.

In the silence of the winter night, only the sound of fire and cold wind can be heard.

Day and night are gradually indistinguishable.

When the sun rises, the memories of the winter night are frozen in the depths of the memory like an ambiguous dream.

Lawrence opened the door and looked at the glaring snow outside, and then at his palm, which was almost healed.

"It's time to get to work."

"You can use the sled today, let's go collect some fuel first, and set up a few traps by the way."

"At noon, go to the vicinity of the stone pile to find some stones, and later you can polish the stone tools in the house and make a hand-pushed stone mill."

"Sariel, spread some butter on your bread today, I want to treat myself."

Although he hadn't done anything for the past two days, Lawrence was still desperate to have some fun and have a sweet tooth.

So the three of them ate butter bread today.

Hot bread with butter!

Lawrence took a bite and tasted alive for the first time in a long time.
