Chapter 23: The Road to Happiness

"It's the quietest season of the year again, so let's try sledding today."

Lawrence stood by the window with his hot tea and watched the snow outside.

When Delen entered the house, he took off his bearskin coat, went to the fireplace, and nagged, "The winter here is so cold and so hot. ”

It was very cold outside, and it was very hot inside the house.

Lawrence smiled, "How's it going?" Do your people like it here? ”

"Acceptance was quick." Delenn had just returned from the blacksmith's shop, and "the people below had warm clothes and wine, and the little ones on the manor loved to go outside and watch the snow." ”

"These are not easy to see in the valley, it is the right choice to bring them out, we should accept the winter and the cold."

Delen was relieved to find out that there was no problem with his people, and he was more in agreement with the choice he had made.

Lawrence nodded, looked at the bedroom where there was only himself and Delenn, and said curiously: "Actually, I'm a little curious, why did Mother agree to come out so easily." ”

Loshanda has been down for a long time, and it is natural for him to accept life here.

This old lady is the second pure-blood witch, and her strength is definitely not weak.

Lawrence was very curious in his heart, he actually didn't have much hope at first, but he didn't expect that his mother-in-law would be willing to go out of the mountain without much effort and hard work.

Delenn looked at Lawrence with a smile and blamed Lawrence for not even knowing this.

"Mother, didn't she tell you the reason a long time ago?"

Lawrence held up his teacup and said, "Because I killed the Ugers?" ”

Delenn laughed, "Of course not, it was earlier when my mother asked you to contact the witches of Mount Talim with a crow, and she said that what the witches were most afraid of. ”

Lawrence quickly recalled, in fact, there were some unimportant things that he didn't remember deeply, and he had forgotten them a long time ago.

But when it comes to witches, it's certainly not the kind of thing that can be forgotten casually.

"Lonely?"

Lawrence looked at Delenn uncertainly, Keharan was not caught by fried chicken, but driven down by loneliness.

Fried chicken is an important trigger, and in fact, the more than ten years of loneliness that Kehalan endured is the key factor.

Delenn went to the bar and poured himself goat's milk, held up the white cup and said before drinking it, "That's it, after I left there, my mother was lonely. ”

After explaining, Delen drank the warm goat's milk.

This time, Lawrence understood the cause and effect thoroughly.

It was not an accident or fate, but gradually prying the mountains and walls, causing this series of landslide effects.

Without bringing Delenn out, it is impossible for Losanda to come out.

The premise of bringing out Delen is that this side has the capital to negotiate with the Claudadians, and the interpersonal relationship that does not let Delen resist.

Kehalan and Sariel each played their respective roles, and Lawrence, who was considered a pure-blood wizard at the time, was also a key factor, leading Losanda to think that it was acceptable for Delenn to be seduced by a male witch.

Kehalan's joining is purely her own strength, as long as she has a favorable material environment and the enterprising spirit that is willing to take the initiative to approach this witch, even an ordinary person can lure her down.

But in a savage area full of barbarians, neither the Clauda, nor the Bomitheus, nor the rest of the savages, nor even the southerners outside, could accept this witch in this way.

After understanding the cause and effect of all this, Lawrence took the initiative to say: "Hmm! Don't worry, I'll be good to you and your mother! ”

"Master!!" Sophia's shouts came from downstairs.

Lawrence sensed Sophia's excitement and walked to the door with a smile.

Sophia and Saliel came in with a log, and when they came in, Sophia couldn't wait to shout: "Master, the things have been found, let's make a swing!" ”

"Okay." Lawrence led a few people downstairs, "It's very simple to go outside and find two big trees that are closer to each other, and tie two ropes with wood between them. ”

"But it's so cold out there right now, and it's not fun to swing, so why don't we try dog sledding."

Lawrence would prefer to experiment with the role of the sledding team, and the next three months or so will be the perfect time to get to and from the villages faster.

The original journey of more than ten days can be shortened to two days with the sledding team.

Sophia still wanted to see what the swing was, blinking at Lawrence with wide, bright eyes full of anticipation.

Lawrence quickly changed his mind, "Okay, let's do the swings first, and we'll go see the sled team in the afternoon." ”

"Good! Thank you hosts! Sophia quickly thanked Lawrence and hugged Lawrence's chest in her thick clothes.

Lawrence soon led people to make swings, which were of little use to the development of the estate, mainly for children and women.

Keeping everyone happy, enhancing everyone's happiness with toys and amenities, also contributes to the unity of the estate.

Especially in winter, there is not much you can do other than drink and play cards, and it is necessary to relax and relax once in a while.

In addition to Saliel and Sophia, Khallan and Deren soon came to help.

The made swing was soon tried by Sophia, who was in charge of pushing Sophia.

"Ahh Sophia clutched the two ropes of the swing with both hands and shouted loudly with her eyes closed.

Because of the height, every time I ripple to a high place, I am scared and want to laugh, and it seems that I am smiling very happily.

Saril pushed happily, but the bold and careful Sariel kept her senses, and when she felt that it was almost over, she grabbed Sophia's shoulders and didn't let Sophia continue to swing.

Sophia stood up happily, and soon her legs went limp and she was about to fall.

Lawrence and Saliel hugged Sophia and said in unison, "Be careful." ”

"Hmm!" Sophia let go of her hand and covered her little nose that was frosty, "It's so fun!" Sister Sariel, you try, I'll push you! ”

"Good!" Sariel was playful and soon sat down on the swing board.

Lawrence stood aside and watched, Saliel followed by Delen, and Delen followed by Keharan, and the witches were very interested in this simple toy.

Lawrence looked away and saw Emma and Bull looking at it too.

"You can also play with this when you're fine, and put the snow on the house in front of or behind the swing in the future, so that you can also light it when you fall."

Emma and Bull heard Lawrence's permission and said happily, "Yes, thank you, master." ”

Lawrence smiled: "It just so happens that there is nothing to do these days, in addition to the swings here, there are also two swings in the forest and in the town, so that the children have a place to play and will not be noisy at home." ”

Bull said, "No, everyone is very obedient. ”

Lawrence said, "Then think of swinging as a reward, and obedient children can play first." ”

The swing incident made Lawrence find that everyone's entertainment was lacking.

Not to mention anything else, a few witches around me always have to be more exciting.

There is no way to do food, clothing, housing and transportation for the time being, and there are too many materials needed to process clothes, not just fur and thread.

Lawrence quickly came up with something that would improve the quality of life.

If there is any direct improvement in happiness, it must be food.

Fried chicken is not unusual, so the other two who haven't had time to make it should also be made.

Pork stewed vermicelli, chicken stewed with mushrooms.

In this kind of snowy weather, these two delicacies are definitely the most suitable.

Pigs can be wild boars raised by the Kloda people, which are not suitable for large-scale breeding, so they are prioritized for elimination.

The chickens can also pick up the young chicks from the chicken coop, which not only saves food and space, but also warms people's hearts!

The first step is to find a vessel that can press vermicelli.

"Delen! Come over and help! ”

Lawrence called out to Delen, who was watching others swing on the swing.

Delenn asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Good thing!"
