The winter snow does not melt until spring arrives, and most creatures are trapped in caves and refuse to get out.

Except for a few.

On the snowy road outside the town of Púmitheus, Lawrence led the Dom sheep and struggled on the 30-centimeter high snow.

Lawrence held a wooden stick to prevent falls, and a ring of animal skins was put on his calves and wrists for protection.

Saliel and Sophia sat on the sleigh at the back, with Dom the Sheep and Lawrence leading the way.

Despite her strength and brute strength, Saliel happily sat with Sophia on a sleigh with a wooden bench and watched Lawrence lead the sheep in front of her.

Lawrence breathed in the cold air of his nose, and although he complained in his heart, he endured it.

Who let himself come out in the winter?

After many more days in the house, Lawrence wanted to get some tools made of iron to use as knives, and by the way, he also bought some clay pots from the town.

It's too slow to make your own clay pots, and the clay pots you make are easy to crack, not as good as the ones in town.

Closed containers are just needed, and there are many places that can be used.

If there were ready-made things, Lawrence didn't want to dig and burn the earth, wasting a lot of time and energy making them.

I don't know how long I walked in the snow, and finally under the harsh sun and snowfield, I saw the town covered with dirty snow.

The snow in the town has been trampled out by people and livestock, and when you stand on the hillside and look down, you can see a lot of cleared ground.

Once you have a goal, the time to move forward is no longer difficult, and even ten minutes of time feels like it will come quickly.

There was a lot less snow under my feet, and the remaining snow was not completely cleared, leaving a solid layer of frozen ice and snow.

The compacted snow is perfect for sledding, and when Lawrence leads the Dom sheep into the town, he finds that the townspeople are also preparing the sled.

The busy Bhumithean stood up straight and looked this way, and when he saw Sariel and Lawrence, he walked over to say hello.

"Sariel, and Mr. Lawrence."

Lawrence didn't know the fat man in front of him.

The fat man had a fluffy brown beard, thinning hair and a sheepskin hat.

He can be called a convex and backward man, his belly is fatter than that of a ten-month-old woman, his big ass is also tilted back, and his stature is slightly shorter than that of ordinary barbarians, a little more than one meter seven.

He doesn't look like a bad person, but he's like a wrestler holding a big rock in front of him, and normal people don't want to provoke this kind of person.

Lawrence asked, "Sorry, I don't know your name yet." ”

"I'm Friesen." Friesen was very talkative, and said proudly: "I have three wives, twenty sheep, five dogs, two slaves, and children and land!" ”

Lawrence was not interested in other people's assets, but more concerned with slaves.

"I remember that there were no slaves here? Why do you have slaves? ”

Friesen proudly held his big belly and glanced at the two men and women beside him who were carrying boxes and wood fuel.

"They are my slaves."

Sarriel walked over and looked at the two, "Isn't this Seravon?" ”

The man named Seravin lowered his head and continued his dull work with the woman beside him, not responding to Sariel's inquiry.

Friesen puffed his belly and said, "This weak man has escaped the sacred battle, so he and his family and the land and house are not his, and now it all belongs to me!" This is a divine decision! ”

Sariel didn't want to meddle in this kind of thing, and walked out directly, "Lawrence, let's go." ”

Lawrence is not surprised by this kind of thing, in the kingdom of barbarians, this is what happens to cowards.

Civilized society is still only crowding out and restricting, in this era, people like this kind of village are robbed and refuse to participate in the counterattack, and the whole family will be killed!

However, even in a civilized society, this kind of desertion is a capital offense, and this period is not so civilized, killing normal, and being punished as a slave is already a very merciful practice.

Most of the time it was because there was a shortage of labor in the village now, otherwise they would definitely be killed in normal times, including this person's children.

Freeson was very friendly to Lawrence, "Mr. Lawrence, I've had a bit of a headache lately, can you touch my head so that my head doesn't hurt so much?" ”

Lawrence knew that most of the time it was Emma's family who had told others about his healing, and that these people had no sense of secrecy at all.

Last time, I used my hands to see if Emma's heads were hot, and when they were hot, they rested more and drank more water.

I don't know what Emma's mouth says, but according to the understanding of these barbarians, it is most likely regarded as witchcraft.

Where will Lawrence see a doctor, and said directly: "I'm busy, good luck." ”

Frieson did not believe in good luck, and when he saw that the wise Mr. Lawrence was leaving, he quickly said: "Mr. Lawrence, I am willing to take out a chicken, a can of butter, and a bucket of goat's milk as gifts." ”

Lawrence had already turned away, and at this time he turned back again.

Chicken broth, butter, goat's milk......

Lawrence looked at the big fat man with a thoughtful look.

When you are fat, you are naturally prone to get sick, whether it is a barbarian or someone else, a fat person is indeed under more pressure.

Thinking of this, Lawrence said, "Are you having a hard time sleeping?" ”

Freesson looked at Lawrence excitedly, "Yes! I often have trouble falling asleep and feel tired every time I wake up! ”

As long as the barbarians are adults, they can basically let out a thunderous roar at night.

Snoring is because you can't breathe, or you have a problem with your nose.

"When you go to bed today, just sleep with your body facing your right hand, not facing the roof and not facing the direction of your left hand."

Friesen didn't understand why, and was even a little skeptical, "Just like that?" ”

In order to thank Fei, Lawrence said: "Cowardly people will often have headaches, brave battles, warriors with countless scars will not have headaches often, you have to hunt often, so that God will give you a healthy body." ”

Friesen was immediately convinced, "Wise Mr. Lawrence, please come to my house, and I will entertain you well!" ”

Lawrence politely declined, "I still have something, next time." ”

Soon Lawrence said goodbye to Friesen.

Because of the slave matter, Lawrence looked at the nearby houses and found that some of them were indeed unrepaired.

Either no one lived in it, or they went to live in intact houses, and most of the original owners of those houses were people who ran away in advance.

People can actually survive alone, but most people in a collective environment don't want to do that, and once they leave the collective, they will be depressed and unhappy.

Many of those who ran away would come back here, and then they would be caught by those who fought bravely and taught a hard lesson.

Either they were killed or they were treated as the lowest slaves.

For those who fled and refused to take up arms to fight, people of the same clan and village would look down on them and even take the initiative to abuse them.

In order to survive, the rules of the barbarian kingdom are like this, even if some people naturally have selfishness and fear, they will be ruthlessly eliminated in a cruel environment.

Unless most of the barbarians live a life that does not require a fight, the barbarian males who escape the battle are bound to be subjected to extreme abuse from the race.

Lawrence discovered that the Bhumishu had begun to transform after joining the Vakiri tribe, from an atmosphere of agricultural production to one of raiding.

You can't afford to pay heavy taxes when you farm and raise pigs, and you can only rely on the means of getting rich to make a fortune.

In this atmosphere, most of the men in the town will go out to raid this year, taking the traditional path to riches in the barbarian kingdom.

Lawrence sighed, even more melancholy.

"Alas, I'd better hide in the mountains honestly, otherwise these people will go out to rob and call me, and I don't want to leave my hometown."
