165 Invitation of Barbarian Women
"Come in, have you eaten?"
Lawrence had already prepared to let the four women into the house first.
The four women were all leading the sheep, and after several plunders and battles, the town of Phumixiu was actually not poor at all.
In the past, you could survive the eternal night safely without going out to rob, and you could still have a lot of food surplus.
But the fact that some of the food was taken away from the war, the men in the village refused to work, and most importantly a lot of food was taken away by the Baron and Doug, which led to food problems.
The women were wearing sheepskin robes, much better than they had been last year.
Upon lifting the heavy curtain made of animal skins and entering the wooden house, the four women felt like they had entered another world from one world.
There was a strong fire burning in the fireplace of the wooden house, and there was a stove for boiling water on the other side of the living room.
The windows are sealed, but the curtains are often lifted when entering and exiting, so there is no need to worry about poisoning.
And the house is very large, with enough space.
The temperature in the living room is not particularly high, only in the area near the stove and fireplace it will be much warmer, and more places are still a little cold.
But for the women in thick clothes who have just come in from the ice and snow, it's hotter than in the summer.
"Sariel! Emma is here! Lawrence shouted upstairs while Sariel was still taking a nap in bed.
Emma quickly said, "Mr. Lawrence, I came to you this time, Kate's family had already gone to Ferry Village, and we went to them for help, but they refused. ”
Lawrence walked over to the couch and sat down, and said to a few people, "Sit down and talk slowly." ”
At this moment the tailor brought water, and Lawrence said, "Go and prepare some food." ”
"Yes, master." The seamstress soon went down to work.
Lawrence said, "I understand you, but now I have a few women here who are about to give birth, and the rest of the food is not rich. ”
Bull, the dancing girl of the Doug family, directly proposed, "Can you go with us to find something to eat?" Like some dogs. ”
The rest of the women seemed to have already agreed, and chimed in: "We can fight!" ”
"It's not enough for us, there are a lot of dogs in Ferry Village, and a dozen of Doug's."
"Doug must have died outside, we can't wait to die!"
"If Mr. Lawrence is willing to go down the mountain with us, VIP will definitely be willing to give us food, and I know that he has a lot of wheat hidden in his house!"
Lawrence was silent, he underestimated the barbarian ancestry of Emma and the others.
Emma and these women were not cowardly women in the first place, they dared to pick up farm tools to seek revenge on the Kurs, and they have always supported the men of the family to go out to rob and make money.
In fact, there have been countless rebellions here, but they have all been suppressed by the lords of various places, and the nobles here have not been taken away by their superiors, and each lord and nobleman has private soldiers and elite combat power.
In times of chaos, the definition of a good citizen is certainly different from that of normal times.
Faced with this group of women who were looking for him to rob their villagers, Lawrence felt that his brain was a little insufficient.
These barbarians have a grudge against those who tax them.
Beasts will hold grudges when they are robbed of food, let alone these women.
Lawrence felt that it was not the traitor Doug who was pressing, and the entire town of Phumixiu would have an extreme idea of assassinating Baron Avari.
Now the women who feel that they can't survive want to kill the Doug family for meat after being rejected by the Doug family to borrow food.
Kill a dog today, what will you kill tomorrow if you don't have enough to eat?
During the disaster year, most of the landlords who refused to help their fellow villagers did not end well.
Even if you take advantage of the disaster year to annex the land, it is to take your time and unite the majority to bully the minority, so that it is naturally none of your business if you are not bullied.
Now the situation in Pumixiu Town is much more serious, and the Doug family has no experience and lessons in this regard, and they can't learn from history, and they just got carried away when they became the village tyrant.
"It's too much trouble to go down the mountain." Lawrence said quietly, "In case Daoge comes back tomorrow, it's not good to do that. ”
Emma was actually a little worried that Doug would come back, so that after the men came back, the women who did these things would definitely be beaten up.
"So what now?" Emma looked at Lawrence, "We can't really survive if we don't have anything to eat." ”
Bull said, "Lawrence, can you take us to the beach to catch seals?" There are seals in the territory of the Snowcave People, and if we women were to pass by, those people would definitely not allow us to hunt there. ”
Emma also said: "Last year, Doug took us to the beach to catch fish, and there were a lot of big fish there, and there were shrimp that were very easy to catch. ”
Lawrence discovers that the Bhumitheans need a leader.
Vip's majesty was a prerequisite for establishing the Bumians' self-containment, or for having men like Doug and the blacksmith to support them.
Once Doug disappeared and didn't come back, an old man like VIP alone couldn't suppress these barbarian women.
Women in the North are more spicy and more likely to challenge authority than women in the South.
Like wolves, if VIP can't lead them to food, they will overthrow the leader
Or even kill!
Lawrence looked embarrassed, "I haven't caught a seal." ”
Emma excitedly said, "It's easy! The bears and the cavemen know how to do it, so we just need to keep the bears and the cavemen from approaching us! ”
There are no seals in the precautions for catching seals, only the people and animals that also catch seals.
Everyone has to eat, especially in the winter when prey is scarce, and it is easy to fight for survival.
Lawrence proposed: "I have a big pig at home, which you sent last year Emma, and today I killed the pig and gave it to you, and you should be able to survive this eternal night with the meat." ”
The four women looked at each other, and no one would refuse such a good thing, especially now when they were already hungry.
Lawrence said: "Drink some hot water to warm up, I am not giving it to you for nothing, next year you need to return my food, you can also use vegetables and meat and salt and wood instead, I will tell you how much you need." ”
Emma nodded quickly, "Yes!" ”
The rest also have no opinion.
Lawrence added, "If Doug hasn't come back after the eternal night, we'll go catch the seals." ”
"The Cave People have nothing but dogs and people, they don't grow food, they don't have furniture, they don't have anything but oil to burn and a little food, and we don't have to fear them," said Boole. ”
Emma said, "There are so many men that we may not be able to beat them, but if Sariel and Lawrence help us, we can!" ”
Lawrence nodded, "Okay, survive the eternal night first, and then we'll talk about it later." ”
Soon the maids brought uneaten leftovers, porridge with peas and fruit and rat jerky, and gray bread that was being baked.
The four women quickly ate cleanly, and when Salil got up, Saliel led a few people to boil water and kill the pigs.
The loot of last year's counterattack on the Kurs was thus divided into many pieces.
Pig blood is collected to make black pudding, and pig intestines, pig hearts, and pig livers are packed into baskets.
Lawrence only took the bones and blood that got in the way, and the rest of the pork was divided among the four women according to weight and portion.
Sarriel looked at the women who were carrying the sheep down the hill with baskets on their backs, and turned to look at Lawrence.
"Lawrence, wouldn't it be good to let Emma be our slaves?"
Lawrence was speechless, but understood Sariel's thoughts.
Whether it is Sophia or Seravin and others, they are all doing better than those Bummitians.
Lawrence didn't answer the matter, but looked at Sariel's stomach.
"It's been two or three months, and there hasn't been any movement, are we not working hard enough?"
Sariel is not a pure girl now, and has long known a lot from Emma and the mouths of the women in the manor.
Faced with Lawrence's doubts, Sariel said seriously: "It's all your fault, you refuse to be in bed, how can you have a child if you don't have a child in bed?" ”
Lawrence said directly: "Go back to eat and go to bed!" ”
