061 The Raven and the Ritual 1
Lawrence gathered some branches and broke the bark of two large trees, burning a gap in the roots with a dagger and flames.
A single domme sheep can't pull too much wood, so Lawrence plans to come over and cut down trees after the snow has been compacted for skiing after a while.
The three men collected more than 200 catties of wood, which could be used as tools or fuel.
The way home is a mountain road with ups and downs, and you have to pass through overgrown bush areas.
The bushes here had shrunk considerably due to the weather, and the plants that had reached Lawrence's waist had begun to shrink, losing most of their branches and leaves.
The height and coverage area have shrunk considerably, and Lawrence can now easily walk through these bushes.
The difference between summer, autumn and winter is like that of a young and energetic girl, an enthusiastic and unrestrained woman, and a thin old woman with a rickety figure when she is old.
When he got home, Lawrence began making tool racks to store things he used on a regular basis or in the future.
Sariel left the wood in the open ground at the back of the house to dry, and went into the house to get her things, and when she saw Lawrence making tools by the window, she came to take a look.
"Lawrence, what are you doing?"
Lawrence said, "Make a tool rack to store my tools. ”
Sariel stood by and watched, and after being quiet for a while, she suddenly said, "You have something to do every day, and you are not afraid of loneliness at all." ”
Lawrence smiled and said, "No, I don't have anyone to do things, don't you both stay next to me?" ”
"If I were the only one in the room, I would feel lonely."
Saliel said happily: "I see, I thought you liked to live alone, but I didn't expect you to be the same as me." ”
Lawrence said no more and continued to bust himself with his business.
Sariel soon went on to do something else, and Lawrence continued to do carpentry himself where there was light on the side of the window.
Yesterday I went to Emma's house, Emma's dog was killed and eaten, and naturally there were no puppies to give away.
The reason for killing the dog is very simple, the winter food of the Pumixiu people was pulled away or burned by the Kurs, and although some food and meat were snatched back later, it was given priority to those men who had made meritorious contributions in the distribution.
Now the pig in the pigsty outside was earned by Lawrence for his meritorious service, and neither Emma nor the men in her family picked up heads, so they naturally belonged to the lower middle class under the distribution system.
People can't live anymore, where is there food to feed the dogs, and besides, Emma's dog is very thin, as if he is dying, and if he really gives birth to a puppy, he will be eaten by himself.
The female beast in a hungry state is extremely protective of food, even if the puppy is close to the rice bowl, it will be treated as a competitor.
Although it was Lawrence who wanted to get a dog in the first place, Sariel's dog plan also fell through the cracks.
Pigs and chickens are raised for food, and the sheep raised will also be sold for sale, and the only domme sheep raised by herself, Nala, is not very smart.
Sariel sat outside the door peeling peas, and Sophia drove the sheep out to eat grass for an hour or two.
Just as Sariel was bored and in a daze, a black crow fell from the sky and landed in a clearing three or four meters away.
Sariel spotted the crow looking at the basket at her feet, and the peas she peeled off had fallen into the basket naked.
The crow's eyes looked at the green peas, and Sariel quickly placed the basket between her legs, and then looked at the crow with an unhappy expression.
The crow took two steps forward, about a distance of more than ten centimeters, and continued to look here.
Sariel quickly picked up the broom placed in front of the door, held it up and waved it at the crow, "Go away!" There are no peas for you here! They don't belong to you! ”
The frightened crow quickly flew away from the dangerous woman.
Sariel didn't pay any attention to the crow and continued to peel the peas.
Where Salil couldn't see, the crow quickly flew around and landed on the roof, but stared at the coop.
The chickens and roosters and hens in the chicken coop are eating feed, and since Lawrence and Sophia came over, the food in the chicken coop has been greatly improved, and the smallest chicks are more than ten centimeters tall.
The crow watched for a while, then spread its wings and flew into the chicken coop, hoping to find something to eat here.
The next moment, the big rooster in the chicken coop walked towards the little man.
A red comb, white head feathers, a black belly, yellow wings, a dark black tail, murderous eyes, and curved and sharp claws that walk.
It's as powerful as Andrew in the chicken coop.
The big crow is not as good as this bird of prey in terms of size, agility, speed, and strength.
Even the mountain eagle in the sky of Agama should avoid the edge for the time being.
Crash~
The raven flapped its wings and fled the battle area.
The crow did not fly away from the area, but flew up to the roof again and looked at the woman peeling beans at the door.
A minute passed, ten minutes passed, and soon more than ten minutes later, it was time to eat.
Lawrence came out of the house and shouted to Sophia in the distance, "It's time to eat!" ”
The roof crow quickly flew off the roof and landed on the ground not far from Lawrence.
Lawrence saw a crow fall to the ground, and looked at the crow carefully, feeling like the crow that often rubbed rice on the mountain.
Thinking of this, Lawrence grabbed a handful of peas from the basin under Sariel next to him, pinched a few and threw them out.
"It's time to eat." Lawrence repeated softly.
When I was in the mountains before, because I was too lonely, I always liked to say something ritually when I ate.
Perhaps the clever crow remembered a few words and associated them with eating.
When several peas were thrown out and landed on the ground, the crow was not frightened by the sudden action, but quickly jumped to the place where the beans had fallen, bent down, and swallowed the peas with his long beak.
Sariel showed a puzzled and surprised expression, and asked cautiously, "Lawrence, are you going to eat this crow?" ”
Lawrence hurriedly said: "No, no, no, I don't eat it, I think it's good to keep it, let's not hurt this crow, it doesn't eat much, and it looks smart." ”
Sarriel thought it was nice to have a crow, and she was even a little eager to try it.
She quickly picked up a few peas and threw them at the crow.
Her throwing skills were top-notch, and the sprang peas hit the crow in the head with precision.
"Ga~!"
The frightened crow screamed and flew away.
