On summer nights, the mountain breeze is cool.

The three nuns sat in the hut where Lawrence did the carpenter's work during the day, complaining to each other.

"You are such a bad person, just like your mother, since she became abbot, our monastery has been in constant trouble, and it was she who made the convent owe fifty komboo in debt."

Young Navia sat trembling as she sat on a wooden bench with her hands folded in front of her chest, her mouth trembling to express her dissatisfaction.

Colin was also shivering from the cold, and there was no heat in the mountains to the north.

Even though it wasn't too cold, much better than eight nights of sea breeze, it still made them huddle together and feel unfortunate.

"Damn! Who are you to teach me? ”

Colin was furious and said, "If I hadn't escaped with you, you would have been burned down with the monastery!" ”

"But we were the only ones who were caught, and Navia was right, she's bad. ”

Colin retorted, "She's a bad businessman, but she's a good dean!" ”

Navia is not afraid of Colin and blames the Dean for her misfortune.

"Ever since she managed our money, the monastery has declined, and we have not had enough to eat, and she has not given us new clothes to wear for two years in a row."

"Even the farmland and forests of the monastery were sold by her to pay off the debts, and she didn't say anything to us."

"And pawned a set of the best spoons we have here, and it's no wonder that she's never done her part, and hasn't negotiated anything with us...... If we don't repair the house, we will be drenched in raindrops when we sing hymns. ”

Colin retorted: "It's the bad potato harvest outside, and it has nothing to do with her!" ”

"It's her dowry that is pawned, it's her stuff, and it has nothing to do with you!"

"The water leak in the monastery has also been repaired, and the water has fallen to the ground, not to your heads!!"

"You people just like to play right and wrong, and you never want to spend some time on studying!"

Blaire felt offended, "My literature is so much better than yours!" How dare you teach me a lesson in such a thing? ”

Navia was about to continue to say that Colin was wrong, and just then, the window of a nearby wooden house was forcefully opened.

Lawrence showed up there, and was visibly disturbed.

"Shut up! Go to bed! If you keep nagging outside, I'll put a stone in your mouth! ”

The three nuns soon became honest, and endured the cold wind and hunger in the wooden hut with a sullen breath.

The cold summer night passed quickly, and when the still cold morning came, the women in the simple wooden houses in the neighborhood began to come out to work.

The shepherdess had to check the condition of the chickens, and they were covered with a heavy cloak made of animal skins and wool, which covered the neck, shoulders and back, and it was easy and convenient to wear, just by putting it off the neck.

The shepherdess saw the three nuns, but soon passed by them, carrying buckets to fetch water for boiling.

It wasn't long before EDI came out to work, and went around the vegetable field where she was going to pick today, and then went to the place where the peas were piled up to sort out the last peas.

After more than an hour, I was busy until the sun came out and cleaned up the last pot of peas.

These are fresh peas, and many of them have long been dried and preserved to make dried beans.

Take the fresh peas to cook, and the remaining pea rhizomes are taken by the shepherdess to feed the sheep and chickens.

The boiled water was quickly poured into the bucket, and a small amount of cheap barley was poured in.

There is not much food for the chicks, and most of the food except water is obtained by the chicks themselves.

The communal kitchen quickly began to cook, simple pies of wild vegetables and berries that could not be picked during the season, as well as a small strip of meat per person.

When the shepherdess came out of the sheepfold, she seemed to have noticed something, and walked quickly into the hut.

Lawrence was drinking tea in the living room, and he got up early every day.

The shepherdess approached the couch and said, "Master, our sheep are pregnant. ”

Lawrence smiled, "That's good news that there will be goat's milk to drink soon." ”

Not all the things that were done to kill sheep and take eggs were done, and Lawrence also kept the breeding sheep, but the next generation needed to find the sheep outside.

The shepherdess said, "You can buy a goat directly from the bottom of the mountain, so that you can drink the goat's milk tomorrow." ”

Lawrence nodded, "Very good suggestion, I'll go down the mountain today, and you can feed the Dom sheep more food." ”

"Yes." The shepherdess soon went down to work.

Lawrence finished the cup of berries and drank it, and walked out of the hut to the three nuns.

"Get up and work, go and help EDI cook, the woman who is busy on the stove over there, and after you finish eating, you follow EDI to work, and take care of the pumpkins."

Navia took the initiative to ask, "Master, when can we work for you in the cabin?" ”

Lawrence thought it would be okay today, but he changed his mind when he saw what they wanted.

"After you've done all the work here, if you still want to be my maid, then I'll allow you to be a temporary maid."

"Farming, gathering, hunting, mining, logging, building houses, taking care of livestock, cooking, in short."

"Now go to work!"

Lawrence had a lot of things arranged for the three female believers who believed in the Lord of the Dawn.

If Western culture wants to invade and influence this manor, it must first accept the rules of the estate.

Whether it's early morning prayers or eating rules, follow Lawrence's place.

The aristocratic rules that the three nuns are familiar with are the embodiment of Western culture and the influence of religion.

Barbarians who do not have a complete system are easily influenced, and their consciousness is affected by the invasion of the spirit.

Lawrence does not have Andrew's physical strength, but he has a strong mental strength that will not be affected by the strong communication power of the church.

The current Lawrence is not the lonely Lawrence of the past.

Now Lawrence only wants to make a good life for his family, and does not pin his hopes for the future on the church and faith.

After eating, I started to get busy with various things.

Sophia takes two active puppies to practice throwing, Sariel teaches Sophia how to throw things, and the two puppies are responsible for merryly picking them up.

The territory of the manor is enough for two puppies to run around, so the two puppies still have no awareness of taking care of the sheep and chickens, at most they see the symbolic barking of outsiders, and then they run away wagging their tails.

Strangers are always added to the manor, which causes the two puppies to not form their own and outsiders' perceptions.

Lawrence went down the mountain to inform Reglo to come with the Ug slaves to help, and Kenny wanted to go up the mountain but was refused, and there was still someone to watch over the house.

Soon Lawrence took the wooden plaque made by Sophia and others yesterday and went down the mountain to the town of Phumesius.

Outside the town, there were quite a few people working in the fields, and overseers on the backs of deer.

Kate saw Lawrence coming, rode over and said, "Mr. Lawrence, thank you for your blessings, I'm much better now." ”

Kate, who had been at sea for more than a month and suffered from scurvy, now looks as energetic as she was before she left after a few days of recuperation after returning home.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and Kate, who has gained a lot, is now very confident.

Lawrence said, "That's fine, I've made two more sets of wooden cards, do you need them here?" ”

Kate happily said, "Okay, what do you want?" ”

Lawrence has long had a psychological price.

"I want a sheep to nurse."

Kate does have a suckling sheep at home, but she still has to feed the puppies.

"Two is not enough, five."

"No, three at most."

"Four!"

"Three." Lawrence insisted, "Only three." ”

Kate was satisfied: "Then three, one is not enough, and it will soon crack." ”

The savages have strong hands and are easy to get angry, and can complete the wooden chips playing cards.

Lawrence traded his two decks of cards for a sucking sheep, and the set of cards he owed was given away in a few days.

Soon Lawrence led the sheep to Mandelcrowe's house, where he found the Mandelcrowe family packing their things.

Mandelkru looked outside and saw that no one else was following him, so he whispered, "I'll go back at night when no one notices." ”

Lawrence smiled and said, "It's okay, you can go up with me with some things first, just say that you can go up and help me build a house, so that everything can be moved up in a few days." ”

Mandel Crewe smiled happily, "Good! That's it! ”

Lawrence asked, "Is it okay if you don't want the field here?" ”

Mandelkru said casually: "No, they are all very poor fields, and I think the fields on the mountains are much better than here." ”

"Of course my fields are better than here." Lawrence has not set a percentage of rent for the time being, which will be discussed later.

With Lawrence's help, Mandelkru took his two children and a sheep up the mountain, came back in the evening to sleep, and continued to take the children and sheep up the next day.

In the past few days, the Bhumixiu people have also been busy moving, moving some people and livestock to Dum Village to avoid being taxed by the baron.

The next day, when Lawrence was about to go down to deliver the wooden plaque and help Mandelcrwe transfer the family property, Saliel reminded:

"Lawrence, it's going to rain tonight, and autumn is coming."

Lawrence looked out suspiciously, and found that it had indeed been a lot cooler these days.

The spring, summer and autumn here in the north are very short, and the days that are squeezed out are filled into the winter.

Winter is spent most of the year.

"yes, I see." Lawrence felt the pressure, "It's time to build a house and stock up on food as soon as possible." ”

"We have enough food to eat, so we don't have to worry about that much," Saliel said. ”

Lawrence shook his head, "No, the Pumixiu will definitely go to the salt lake to get salt before winter, and Avari will also come to gather people before the Count gathers people to rob, and he will definitely take the opportunity to collect taxes at that time, but I don't know how many people he will bring this time." ”

Sariel thought for a second, "Do you want to fight?" ”

"It depends." Lawrence said, "Just get your weapons ready. ”

"Good!" Saliel simply agreed, and most of the people in the North were not afraid of battle.
