094 Winter Night
In the afternoon, it snowed again, and the world was quiet and dreary.
When will you wake up when you sleep in bed in such weather?
Most barbarians rely on alcohol to fall into a coma, so that they can quickly fall asleep.
As long as you don't have awareness, you can ignore many, many bad things.
In the crowded and stuffy cabin, Lawrence sat near the fireplace, wearing only a woollen robe.
Sitting in front of Lawrence was Sariel, who had taken off her upper body and now showed her broad, sturdy back.
Lawrence held a small piece of wood in his hand, used hot water in a clay pot and a towel to wipe it on Sariel's back, and then rubbed Sariel's back with the piece of wood.
Sariel's back looks clean and has healthy white skin, the only downside is that she can see some fine hairs.
The body hair of the barbarians here is relatively vigorous, and the chests of the male barbarians are densely packed, as if they are wearing plate armor and heart protection clothing.
Lawrence, on the other hand, was unlike most savages, with very little hair on his legs, arms, and chest, which he couldn't see unless he looked closely.
It was too much trouble to take a shower in the winter, so Lawrence took advantage of the highest temperature in the house after dinner to help Salil solve the problem of cleaning her back that she usually can't touch alone.
Wait a minute, Sariel will help Lawrence clean up, too.
Sophia stood aside and stroked the snow wolf's skin, looking at Sariel and Lawrence sitting in front.
"Master, I'll help you wash your back later."
Lawrence said: "Sophia is fine once every seven or eight days, you don't work much these days, and your body is not dirty, Sari and I are once every three days, and it is easy to get sick if you have more times." ”
Washing the face and feet is once a day, washing hair is once every two days, and bathing once every three days, Lawrence now prescribes approximate time intervals.
Sophia nodded, "Yes, then I can help you take a bath." ”
Lawrence quickly cleaned Sariel's back and patted her on the back.
"It's okay, wipe it and put it on."
Salil stood up, her expression very comfortable, and she felt a lot more relaxed.
While Sariel was getting dressed, a crow suddenly came from outside the door.
"Gah!"
The screams didn't come from outside the door, but from the window.
Lawrence looked out the window, quickly removing the wooden stool to look outside.
Outside, there was a crow clung to the wooden window, and the crow was looking at Lawrence with his feet on the wooden bar.
Although it was dark, Lawrence recognized the crow as the big crow he had encountered earlier.
Lawrence quickly left the wooden window and opened the door.
Sariel was already dressed, put on her clothes and said, "What's wrong?" ”
"It's the crow that brings us good luck, I'll go out and see it."
Lawrence opened the wooden door, and a cold wind poured into the room.
The temperature outside was far from the temperature inside, and Lawrence, who had just gone out, felt a tingling sensation in his fingers as if they were cold and contracted.
The wind and snow also make it difficult to breathe and make it difficult to open your eyes.
Lawrence braved the wind and snow to go around to the side of the house, and the snow outside was buried to his bare feet.
The big crow had landed on the ground by this time, and raised its head to bark at Lawrence.
"Gah!"
Lawrence looked down and saw the crow running to the door of the house against the corner.
The stone house was built at a slight slope, and the wind and snow were also tilted down, resulting in more snow at the back, and some places on the side of the doors and windows that did not fall snow.
These places are narrow, only the distance of the sole of a shoe, but they are enough for crows.
When Lawrence returned to the door of the stone house, he saw the crow enter the stone house like a gentleman.
Seeing this, Lawrence didn't say anything, and quickly entered the house together.
The stone house blocks out the wind and snow in the rear, and after Lawrence closes the door again, the whole person reintegrates into the comfort zone.
Saliel and Sophia stared at the crow that had walked in on its own.
The crow looked around the room curiously, and even when Lawrence closed the door behind him, it had no intention of escaping.
After a brief look, the crow quickly flew up and landed on a wooden pile near the Dom sheep.
The house was stocked with fuel for the next ten days, and the firewood was neatly stacked in the corner as a partition between the three sheep and the living quarters.
There are also a lot of meat strips in the room, especially a lot of bacons hanging from the roof.
Lawrence saw that the crow was looking around, but he was not noisy or noisy, so he took the initiative to get some boiled wolf meat from the pot.
Lawrence placed the wolf meat on top of the wooden crate.
"It's time to eat." Lawrence looked at the big crow and said softly.
The big crow looked at Lawrence, and when Lawrence stepped back to the bed, he flew over and picked up the hot cooked meat.
The crow flew up quickly, and originally wanted to fly out, but soon found that the door was closed and could not fly out.
It flew around the room several more times before landing at the window and hiding in the window.
There is no air outlet in the window, so the wind is not strong, and there is a circle of wood to protect some of the cold wind, and with the heat in the room, it is at least much warmer than the tree hole.
Lawrence said, "Don't disturb it, if it's too noisy, let it go." ”
Salil frowned and said, "What if it flies out and indiscriminately?" It will stain our food and quilts, and maybe even fall on our heads. ”
Lawrence froze for a moment, as if he hadn't thought of such a thing.
"It's okay, let's see what happens."
So far, we can only take a look at it first.
At Lawrence's request, another occupant was added to the stone house, and the lease was unknown.
Lawrence still felt uneasy after taking a shower, so he took out his squirrel and rat skin storage bag, walked to the window, and pushed the furs to the crow.
The crow inside did not move at first, but after a few minutes it saw that the hides were being dragged in, apparently clever enough to know how to use them.
Lawrence no longer worries about the crows, but walks to the door and looks through the crack at the blizzard outside.
"Add some more fire to the fireplace, and let the cooking fire go out, leave it alone, and hope the chimney won't be blocked."
Lawrence recalls the shape of the chimney, and when it was first made, it was specially designed to protect against rain, which naturally kept the snow from falling.
But now there is enough fuel, and the big bed is near the fireplace, which will be much more comfortable if there is a fireplace at night.
And with a fireplace lit, oil lamps can also save a lot.
A small house also has a small advantage, and heating is more convenient.
The night is getting darker and darker, the wind and snow outside are getting heavier and stronger, and the cold wind is constantly whistling in the mountains and forests, making terrifying sounds.
The Lawrence family of three snuggled up to each other and slept peacefully in this warm room.
Whenever it was cold and snowy outside, not only the domes but also the crows were exceptionally quiet.
