As night falls, the temperature on the mountain drops rapidly.

Lawrence picked up a clump of weeds from nearby, threw it on the ground, and said, "That's all." ”

As he spoke, Lawrence turned and placed the plank in the doorway to block the cold wind and moonlight outside.

Sophia walked over to the haystack and crouched down, using a branch to look inside.

"No problem, it's all grass that is often fed to sheep."

Lawrence continued to close the door, the movable wooden door was troublesome to close, and he hadn't had time to make the door shaft these days.

Sophia left the haystack, and the two Dom sheep soon approached and began to pick and choose for the leaves they liked to eat.

Even in the snowy winter, the mountains are not full of branches and stones, and there are some tenacious plants.

Usually these things are not very tasty.

Fortunately, in winter, rabbits and sheep will not be picky about these, and some of them will eat well, and they will gnaw on the dry grass and dead vines of the wasteland that they usually do not touch, and they will gnaw on the bark and roots of trees when they are very hungry.

Lawrence quickly closed the door and turned to look at the room lit by the firelight.

Domes are quiet when they are full, and do not bark or move around curiously unless something happens.

Lawrence looked at Sophia, who was kneeling on the bed and arranging the fur bedding, her blonde ponytail braid had been lowered and stood out in the room.

Lawrence asked, "Is it warm in the house?" If it's cold, you can make the fire a little hotter. ”

Sophia quickly turned her head and said, "No, it's already warm, it's warmer than in Sariel, are you cold, master?" ”

Lawrence walked to the side and crouched down where the wood was placed, "I feel warm too, and I'll lay some flooring while I have time." ”

Sophia quickly sat up, sat on the edge of the bed and put on her shoes, "I'll help you." ”

Lawrence smiled, "No, you lie under the covers and help me warm the bed, so that I can be warm when I go in." ”

Sophia nodded happily, "I see!" ”

At Lawrence's orders, Sophia quickly lay down on the bed, covered with a soft mattress made of seal skin.

Under Sophia's head was a pillow made of fox skin.

The fox fur was hunted by Lawrence, and later, when Sariel saw Sophia, she thought of the best use and made a large warm pillow for Sophia and herself.

Because it is made into a pillow, it is simpler than making clothes, and there is no shortage of clothes, and there is a lack of a pillow worthy of Sophia.

Although it was made by Sariel for herself and Sophia, it is currently regarded as Sophia's own, and Sophia's things are naturally Lawrence's things.

Sophia rested her little face on the soft and warm fur pillow, and turned sideways to look at Lawrence, who was sitting on a small wooden bench at work.

In the flickering light of the fire and the clatter of the wooden hammer, I fell asleep before I knew it.

Lawrence doesn't have a lot of wood, just over a square meter of space, and more places need to slowly collect wood and wood.

After the work was done, Lawrence felt the urge to pee, got up and went to the urinals to pee, and also glanced at Sophia, who was already asleep.

Lawrence turned his back to Sophia and released the water as quietly as he could, leaning his urine on the body of the urine jar, not letting the water flow and stagnant water make a sound.

This time I didn't use the night pot, although I made some and planned to sell it, but I didn't want to use it, and Sariel hated it, and Lawrence couldn't find a place to sell it.

"Huh? Maybe you can send one to Doug, who can't get out of bed now and should need this very much. ”

Lawrence shook his wit, lifted his pants and lowered his thick coat.

"Send two to Doug next time you go to town, he promised to give me a puppy."

Go to the fire and add some dry branches to press it, and the firewood will be completely extinguished in an hour or two, and the temperature in the room will drop accordingly.

You can also use a fireplace in the corner, but the heating effect is still better, mainly to roast the floor hotter, and to warm the domme sheep not far away.

Lawrence washed his hands, checked the ventilation of the fireplace again, and put his wet hands inside to feel the cold air flowing.

Lawrence quickly returned to the fire and thought about tomorrow.

Tomorrow the livestock will be brought in, and the three slaves will need to be dealt with.

The one that ran away before will become the prey of the beasts, even if it doesn't freeze to death.

Lawrence didn't care what happened to the one who ran away, and only the older woman in her twenties was worth the remaining three adults and a small child.

The one that's a little smaller than Sophia doesn't feel like it's useful and useful.

The mother with the child was not easy for her to work, and besides, the environment in the mountains was not suitable for children.

Either stay with Saliel or send it to town.

It quickly occurred to Lawrence that even if there was one more person, the problem of eating would be troublesome.

"That pig can't be raised, if you continue to raise it, it will get thinner and thinner, and tomorrow after going up the mountain, you will kill the big pig, leaving three little pigs."

"The meat of the big pig can help me and Sophia and one or two others survive this winter, plus we can usually hunt or exchange some food from the town of Phumixiu."

"There is no problem with food, fuel can also be obtained from the neighborhood, and tomorrow the day after tomorrow I will try to find a suitable farming area nearby, and I will also have my own farmland."

"The people of Phumixiu Town don't have to worry, whether it's them or the earl, they should all go south."

"This is not a bad thing, if you don't have the ambition to fight outside, then you will be trapped in this cold area that is not suitable for survival for the rest of your life."

"Unless you can't beat it, you will definitely fight to the south, and for the Pumixiu who have already ignited their fighting spirit, one more day to the south will greatly improve their living conditions."

"Many of the missing barbarians are not really dead, and many of them are living outside and do not want to come back."

Lawrence thought about something more long-term, and slowly became sleepy.

Stripping off his clothes and his stinking shoes, Lawrence placed them near the door before stepping on the fire-hot stones and returning to the bed.

Getting into bed and entering the bed, Lawrence found that the bed was not very hot, and Sophia's little feet obviously revealed a coolness.

Lawrence covered the mattress for herself and Sophia, and then took the little girl curled up in the quilt in a small piece without a warm quilt in her arms.

Lawrence quietly reflected on his life, and he remembered only a handful of hugs, and the only memory of hugging others was Sophia and Sariel.

Sophia opened her eyes and said in a daze, "Master, the bed is warm." ”

Lawrence put his leg against Sophia's cold feet and smiled, "Well, sleep." ”

Sophia quickly closed her eyes and went back to sleep.

Lawrence looked at the delicate little beauty beside her, and it wouldn't take a few years for her to become a beautiful girl.

But there's still a long way to go.

Lawrence, too, was sleepy, and quickly closed his eyes, feeling the warmth of his cheeks, chest, and palms in the warm cabin that he could hear in the cold wind.
