075 Barbarians
Early in the morning, Lawrence was an early riser, as always.
Just as she was about to pack up and go to work in the mountains, Sariel came out of the house and into the kitchen.
"Lawrence, you send those women down the mountain, I don't need them."
Lawrence was boiling hot water to wash his face, and while pulling the matches from the fire, he said casually, "There are enough women in the town, and no one will buy them." ”
Salil said directly: "No money! ”
"That's for me." Lawrence said happily, "I need someone to help me with my work!" ”
"I asked the people in the town for help, and they all said they weren't available."
Saliel said curiously, "Don't you have Sophia?" I can trade four slaves for Sophia's freedom! ”
Lawrence quickly said: "No, Sophia is my baby, she is a slave now, but she will be my little lover in the future." ”
"Sophia can only play with you when she is with you, but if she is with me, she will become a mother in the future!"
Lawrence ostentatiously blows Sariel.
Sariel was already unhappy, and now she is even more unhappy!
Lawrence asked, "Do you keep the four men and a little kid for yourself, or do you really want to give it to me?" ”
Sariel thought about it for a day, and finally said, "It's all for you, I don't like them." ”
Lawrence didn't understand, "Why?" ”
Sariel couldn't tell, "I just don't like it, I feel uncomfortable with them, it's like being with strangers." ”
Lawrence still doesn't quite understand, but that's not the point.
"I want them all, but I can't feed them, they will run if they want to run, and if they are hungry, they will not have anything to eat, and I can't get so much food for them."
There are no slave contracts here, and slaves know how to resist and run away.
Sariel said directly: "You will stay in my house first, and other things will be talked about in the spring." ”
"I'm sorry, but I have my own insistence." Lawrence looked quietly at the fire and said with his back to Sariel.
The kitchen was silent, save for the crackling of firewood burning.
Saliel said helplessly: "Okay, then I'll give you half a bag of grain." ”
"Thank you very much!" Lawrence accepted the gift with gratitude.
After breakfast, Andrew had not yet returned, and Lawrence took two older women to work in the mountains.
The woman with the child and the girl younger than Sophia stayed at home and Sophia assigned them jobs.
Both women were older than Lawrence and took the initiative to talk to Lawrence when they went to the mountains.
Twenty-six or seventeen-year-old Hagrid said to the young man, "It's so cold in here. ”
Lawrence continued to walk forward, saying, "There is still a way to go, and the road here is not easy to walk. ”
Hagrid quickly said, "yes, it's really hard to go, are you related to that Andrew?" ”
Lawrence was not really a young man, he was extremely old-fashioned, but he was reluctant to think crookedly when dealing with people with pure hearts.
Not all the poor people are good people in their families, and there are good people and bad people in the slaves, and there is a difference between troublemakers and honest people.
"No, he's killed a lot of people, I've only killed one man, with this hoe behind me."
Lawrence removed the hoe he was carrying behind him, which was not suitable for walking but was a deterrent.
When Hagrid and Estrith looked at the hoe again, there was fear in their eyes.
Lawrence does not sympathize with them, these two are also the orthodox bloodline of the Barbarian Kingdom, and their thoughts and ideas follow the barbarian system.
Men in this region who are not strong enough will be despised by savage women.
The addition of two adult women made the roofing work much faster.
They were not pampered aristocratic ladies before, but the pretty part of peasant women.
He is capable of both physical work and domestic chores, but he is not as strong as those male savages.
After building the house in advance, Lawrence swept the floor of the stone house and lit a firewood fire in the fireplace to dispel the moisture.
When it was almost done, Lawrence took the two women down the mountain.
Ran a ...... while going down the hill
Probably knowing that she would only be able to live in a broken stone house on the hill in the future, Ectricy, who had come from the city, thought about it for a while, and then ran away to the woods.
Seeing this, Hagrid quickly shouted to Lawrence, who was walking in front, "She's gone!" She ran away! ”
Lawrence turned to look at Hagrid, and then at the young village girl who was speeding toward the forest.
"Run, run, you can run if you want, if you don't want to run, follow me down the mountain to eat."
After Lawrence finished speaking, he walked down the hill without looking back.
Without hesitation, Hagrid quickly chased after him.
She knew very well that women would not be able to survive in such a place without relying on men.
When he got home in the evening, Andrew cooked for the first time in a long time and made a sumptuous dinner to thank Lawrence for taking care of him for a while.
"Lawrence! I brought you a bottle of wine! Very tasty! I've tasted it for you! ”
Andrew greeted Lawrence, who had just returned.
Lawrence also smiled and responded, "Okay, let's drink together!" ”
Andrew looked at Hagrid behind Lawrence and asked, "Where did the other woman go?" ”
Hagrid looked terrified and trembled with fear.
Lawrence explained: "She ran away, I don't chase her when I see she ran away, I'm very sorry! ”
Andrew comforted, "No, I already know from Sariel about her disposition of these slaves, Lawrence, you don't have to apologize to me. ”
Andrew looked at Hagrid again, "Lawrence, let me show you how to educate the slaves, like when this happens, the rest of the slaves have to stand outside all night and understand what will happen to the escaped slave." ”
Lawrence knew very well that he did not turn them into slaves himself, and that they were not born slaves, but that someone had turned them into slaves.
It should not be their duty to educate them, but neither is it to protect them.
Unless, you need to protect them.
Andrew paid attention to Lawrence's expression and said calmly: "Lawrence, too much kindness will hurt you. ”
Lawrence actually didn't want to argue with Andrew about anything, but for various reasons, he had to refute it.
"Andrew, I need them to help me build a house, I need them to help me take care of my livestock, to snuggle up with me to keep warm, if I freeze outside all night, then I'm going to die."
"If Sariel doesn't give them to me, then I really don't have the right to deal with them."
Sariel walked out of the room and said directly, "I have given them to Lawrence, of course they can choose to leave or not to leave Lawrence." ”
Sariel's presence puts an end to the argument, just as the daughter forcibly intervenes when the son-in-law and father-in-law are arguing.
At the dinner table, Lawrence asked, "Andrew, did you know anything about the baron with Doug in town?" ”
Andrew sneered, "That baron was beaten by me before, you don't have to worry, he is the earl's dog, and he will follow the earl to Vakiri." ”
Lawrence didn't say much, it didn't feel like he was fine.
Andrew quickly added: "Lawrence, you did well, I know your performance from Doug, you killed a Kull, it's not worth mentioning, but it's good for you." ”
Lawrence said politely: "Yes, everyone else has hit, and I will definitely fight back." ”
Seeing that Lawrence was so ambitious, Andrew proposed: "I'm going to go with Doug to rob the village of Ferry by the sea, you go with me!" ”
Lawrence didn't want to go, "I'm going to build a house." ”
Andrew said seriously: "Listen! Lawrence! ”
"After I beat that baron, he won't let Saril and you go!" Andrew was very serious at this point.
Lawrence felt that it had nothing to do with him, and that he didn't hit the baron himself.
But he couldn't say this, the food that Andrew cooked by himself had been taken care of by Andrew, and that baron would not let him go.
The only way to politely refuse was for Salil to speak, but Saliel had no intention of speaking at this time, and had been quietly drinking potato soup there.
Lawrence quickly said, "Good! It just so happens that there is not enough food to eat now, and we go to work with Doug and the people of Phumisius, and if the Baron wants to kill Sariel and me, the people in the town will take the initiative to help, instead of watching outsiders like us get killed. ”
Andrew greatly appreciated Lawrence's courage and initiative, "That's right! That's what a man should do! ”
"Tomorrow and I will go find Doug, and we'll go and rob the ferryman tomorrow!"
Lawrence nodded earnestly, he was on the thief ship now, and he couldn't get off......
