After dinner in the morning, Lawrence discussed the matter of wild boars with Reglo and Sariel.

"We're going to set some traps nearby, like the Ug people, so that the wild boars can't get up if they fall into it."

Leglow said directly: "Then the wild boar may not necessarily come, we can go directly to the wild boar and kill them!" ”

Lawrence didn't want to take any chances, the wild boar in this world is like a fish, there are all kinds of species, and some of them can vary by more than ten times the normal size.

Being hit by a wild boar charge on the mountain is not as simple as a flesh wound.

"We're not sure where the wild boars will be, and the success rate of setting traps in the pine forest is not low, and the wild boars will definitely go there to feed."

"If you lure it with grains and acorns, I think the wild boar will definitely come close to the trap."

"Yes, master," said Reglo. ”

Lawrence is a prophet-like character, and Reglo himself lacks wisdom like the rest, so it is often enough to explain a few words casually.

It doesn't matter if you don't explain, even if you don't understand, these people will follow along.

Most of the periods of progress are the periods of the greatest concentration of power, so as to avoid the ineffectiveness and waste of concentrated forces.

Lawrence began to lay out the task schedule for the day.

Today, too, as always, not much different.

Saliel wondered, "Didn't those five men under the mountain shout up?" ”

Lawrence: "No, just let those two people guard the three Ugs, and now is not the time to give them a job." ”

After more than ten days of adaptation, the three Uger girls have roughly gotten used to their current life.

Even if there is no one to watch over them, there is little chance that they will escape.

If the slaves Andrew brought back were living in the current period, they wouldn't have escaped.

The main problem was that Lawrence's stone house was not built at that time, and it was in a state of lack of food and clothing in the ice and snow, and it was normal for them to escape.

Most of the slaves did not run away for freedom, mainly because they did not have enough to eat, or they were often beaten for fear of being killed.

The slaves of the Mountain Wind Manor don't need to worry about these things, even the crows and grouses can stay and not leave, and these Uger people who used to live in the forest are not brainless, and they can tell the good from the bad.

But the brains of the barbarians are very direct, and most of the barbarians think that this place is good, which does not mean that they will work with peace of mind, but think about how to occupy this place.

Male slaves are too risky and problematic, and no more prisoners of war will be taken until the armed forces have been raised to a certain level.

Sophia was in charge of housekeeping today, and after Lawrence and the others had finished talking, she reported: "Master, EDI seems to be pregnant. ”

Lawrence wondered, "Whose child?" ”

Sophia shook her head, "I don't know. ”

Sariel was equally curious about this kind of thing, "Is it Seravon's, or is it Taloki's?" Or is it some other Bhumitian? ”

EDI had lived in a house under the mountain, and the barbarians had no morals to speak of, and were prone to ill-fated slaves who were inferior to their own status.

EDI is a traditional barbarian woman, and traditional savage women don't really mind this kind of thing at all.

And EDI herself has a strong will, and the father she wants her children to be a warrior.

Lawrence is reluctant to have children with her, and it is normal for her to go to someone else.

Lawrence frowned and thought for a while, "It should be Seravon's, Taloki has been away from here for more than a month, and I've seen Seravin and EDI often work together these days." ”

"EDI has already given birth to a few children, and there is definitely no problem with her health." Lawrence said: "Don't worry about this matter, when the child is born, it will be the child of our manor, as long as Seravin does things for me with peace of mind, our manor will protect this child." ”

Saliel nodded, "Well, I also want to see how the baby is born." ”

For women, having a child has a very special meaning and is the most important moment in life.

Wedding day is meaningless in this day and age.

Reglo touched his stomach and said embarrassedly, "I seem to have a child too, and I haven't bled anymore recently." ”

Lawrence smiled, "Okay, I think we will have one more strong child on our manor next year." ”

Saril was curious: "Lawrence, do you know who the father of the child is?" ”

There is no need to ask who the father of the child is, it is not mine anyway, it doesn't matter whose it is.

Lawrence smiled, "Do you know Reglo? ”

Reglo shook her head quickly, she had been on more than a dozen men, where to remember clearly.

"You don't have to worry about this, as long as the child is your own."

Lawrence also began to think about the children, but there was no need to worry about this, and when the children grew up, they would marry from the travelers or the villages outside to ensure that there would be no blood confusion.

Instead of getting weaker, the pregnant barbarian woman will be stronger.

During this period, the body will need more nutrients, both physically and resistantly much stronger than before.

Lawrence didn't have the luxury of giving a month of maternity leave to a pregnant woman, and every job is very important in this time and age.

In order to ensure the normal operation of the manor during the special period, there must be more than three laborers in the lodge.

Lawrence's own plan to prepare for pregnancy is at the end of the summer.

If you start preparing for pregnancy at the end of summer, the time of birth should be spring.

And now that they are pregnant, if you count the time, the children of Reglo and the others will be born in or after the eternal night, which is the time of the year when food is most scarce.

Most of the shepherdess are also pregnant, there are no contraceptives in this place, and most people can't restrain their physical desires, and it is very normal for them to take their lives.

Lawrence didn't mean to blame others, but he had to be more prepared for it.

EDI and Reglo both have experience in pregnancy, especially a woman of Reglo's size, giving birth to a child is actually not too difficult, and she can work normally for a day at most.

This winter is sure to be much more lively than last year, and now we have to prepare a little more.

Prepare enough clothes, enough food, enough fuel.

Lawrence soon led the team to set traps in the forest.

Salavin followed to the door and took the initiative to say, "Master, please let me follow you to hunt." ”

"I'm not going to hunt, I'm going to set traps." Lawrence saw that Seravin wanted to go with him, so he said, "It's okay, come with us with a hoe, and wait for you to dig the earth." ”

"Yes! Master! Seravin excitedly agreed, and quickly went to the warehouse to get a hoe.

Lawrence waited for a while, and then led the people to set up a pig trap in the nearby forest.

They waded through the river from a relatively shallow place upstream and went around to the other side of the river.

The forest here is at the foot of the mountain, and at a glance you can see a large area of forty or fifty meters tall trees, as well as the majestic mountain in the distance.

It is very suitable for cultivating farmland, but there are too many trees and too many stones, and it is extremely difficult to mine.

Lawrence and the others cautiously walked into the forest, some squirrels and crows quickly moved away from this side, and the insects in the forest were temporarily quiet.

A few people carefully observed the surroundings, and soon the sound of insects and birds was heard in the forest.

"Let's get started, dig a hole here." Lawrence found a flat place.

Seravin quickly got to work, while Reglo and Sariel watched their surroundings to keep out the beasts from approaching.

Lawrence noticed a huge stone in front of him, like a rectangular coffin tumbling down from a mountain, pressed against another large stone.

The boulder was an irregular rectangular stone, and the stone that was pressed was a flat bluestone that exposed most of its body.

This combination is rare in nature, but it's not so unusual, and neither Sariel nor Leglow cares.

Lawrence, on the other hand, watched and looked at it, and carefully walked around the stone.

"This is a natural press, as long as you can pry up this stone that looks like three or four tons, and then you can press the iron into iron sheets, right?"

Lawrence looked at the nearby terrain again, it was some distance from the river, but it was not too much effort to bring the water over.

It's not a good place to farm, but it's perfect for a blacksmith shop!

Although there is a blacksmith shop in the town, it is not easy to get such a stamping machine.

Here you can use the river water to push the blower to heat, you can also stamping the iron sheet, firewood is easy to obtain, water is also simple, the innate geographical environment advantage is too great!

Best of all, it's Lawrence's blacksmith's shop!
