There are no surprises in the development of things.
Two days later, EDI brought a man with her when she went up to work in the mountains.
Kate rode a moose close to the manor gate.
Thick walls of stones appeared on the hillside ahead.
The walls had been spotted as early as the hillside when they had seen it, and when they got close to the entrance, Kate was disappointed to find that Lawrence and Saril were not living a hard life on the mountain.
Not living in a shack in the mountains, as Emma said.
Kate walked through the gate of the manor and saw both the neat stone houses in the distance and the nearby vegetable patches with pumpkins, peas, wheat and kale.
There is a simple wooden house at the entrance, and at this time there is no one inside, but the beds and tables inside can be seen through the window facing the outside.
Kate looked at the mess of animal skin quilts and wooden jars inside, and the bed seemed to have experienced a great war, and she didn't have time to clean it up.
But the messy bed and the unruly crockpots and kettles made Kate's mood feel a little better.
"Do Lawrence and Sariel live here?" Kate sighed and said, "Compared to my home, there are a lot of things in it, and it looks very poor." ”
EDI explained, "It's the stone house, and the owners have been living in it all along. ”
The stone house is on the hillside in front of it, and the entrance to Kate's side is itself on one side of the hillside, so you can see the left and right sides and the surrounding places, and you can't see the other side of the high ground.
"That room doesn't look that big." Kate was not surprised, and said lightly: "In the summer, it must be very hot there. ”
"If it were me, I wouldn't have chosen that place to stay."
Kate felt a lot better because of Lawrence's misfortune.
In fact, there is no deep hatred between the two sides, and Kate even respects Lawrence very much.
But the thought of Lawrence not being as good as himself made him feel a little excited.
EDI didn't say much, and soon led Kate down the steps that had been sorted out and walked up the hillside.
Standing on the top of the hillside, Kate, who was sitting on a moose, finally got a clear view of the estate.
The shepherdess harvests cabbage in the distant kale fields, and these vegetables, which can be called cabbage or cabbage, are very delicious, and they are one of the few vegetables here that have a good taste.
The shepherdess put a bag of cabbage in a basket and went to a nearby place where peas were grown to pick fresh peas for cooking.
A few meters away from Kate, in the pile of stones, wild geese, wild ducks, and large silver fish with calves were hanging from ropes and wooden frames.
The rows of cuts of meat are a good indication of how well the food reserves are here.
Seravin and Lawrence worked at the cabin, and Sariel and Sophia learned shielding in the hay dried.
Around this wide and neat manor, there are neatly divided into vegetable areas, grain areas, and pasture areas.
Standing on a high vantage point, you can even see the men and women fishing in the river outside the walls of the manor.
"Gah!"
Kate was startled and followed the sound to see a crow standing on the eaves.
The crow is looking at itself!
Kate had this feeling, but soon felt that this would only bring misfortune to the crow, who should have seen the misfortune here.
"That's terrible, why is this crow here?" Kate seemed to have found something big, and she couldn't hide the joy in her heart with a frown.
The crow that landed on Lawrence's roof must have been proof of the impending misfortune that had befallen Lawrence.
EDI looked at the crow and said, "This is the crow raised by the owner, and it has been raised since the winter, and it will help catch the mice in the field to eat, and it will go into the house to sleep by itself." ”
"When the master calls to it, it returns to the owner from a great distance."
EDI was in awe of the crow.
Kate looked stunned, and finally restrained the careful thoughts in her heart, and no longer compared anything with Lawrence.
"Mr. Lawrence even keeps crows, and I haven't heard him say anything about it."
Ever since Sariel had something to do, she had been with Lawrence and Sophia all day, and she hadn't had much contact with the women of Phumesius, and those people naturally didn't have access to first-hand information here.
EDI said: "The master built the house there. ”
As former Bhumithes, EDI and Salavin have been bullied by others since they became slaves.
Kate is also one of the bullies she is, and EDI and he have nothing to say.
Kate didn't realize the difference between herself and Lawrence, nor did she realize how EDI and the others thought of him.
When Kate approached the wooden house, she saw that it was smaller than her own, but structurally cleaner and more elaborate.
Lawrence was laying the floor of the stairs leading to the second floor when he heard the barking of a puppy on the first floor and went out to take a look, and found that it was Kate and his big moose.
"Kate, what are you looking for me for?"
The two little chubby dogs didn't know Kate for a long time, and at this time they barked at Kate, who was standing at the door, to treat strangers.
Kate turned to Lawrence and said, "Mr. Lawrence, my father and Vip are asking if you want to deal with the Ugers together. ”
"Okay." Lawrence decisively agreed: "When?" ”
Kate looked at the living room with sofas, carpets, tables, chairs, and coffee tables, and explained her mission.
"Meet tomorrow morning at the mining site and go over together."
Lawrence nodded, "Okay, I'll go over tomorrow, six people in all." ”
"This time I mainly want the Ug captives and slaves, and those who don't resist after entering should not be killed, they are my trophies."
"The rest of the meat and weapon furs, I don't want this time."
Kate said, "Okay, I'll tell my father and Vep. ”
Lawrence didn't mean to leave Kate for dinner, "Okay, you go and reply to Doug, I'll get to Andrew's cabin after dawn." ”
Kate soon went out to ride a moose and left the estate, which was getting better and better.
In Phumesius Town, Doug, who was drinking, patiently listened to Kate's reply.
"Yes, if there are six people, it will be much smoother on our side, and it just so happens that those slaves eat too much, and I don't want to keep them."
Doug readily agreed to Lawrence's request, if Lawrence didn't want the slaves, then Doug would take the captives to sacrifice to the god of the sea, or to train the children in the village.
The Ugers are not easy to fight, although they are mountain people, they are basically hunters, and there are more than a hundred people in the tribe, and if the number of Pumixiu people cannot form an advantage, they will die a lot.
There weren't many Pumixiu left, and they had to stay in the village and guard slaves to work, so neither Doug nor Vip wanted these people to die at the hands of the Ug.
But Doug believes that the necessary sacrifice is worth it, and only through this kind of battle can the warriors be reminded of the glory in their blood!
