Chapter 35: Eat well

"Prophet."

Lawrence, who was cooking a fire in the house, heard the call from outside, opened the door and walked out.

The blacksmith and the people of the village stood outside the door and looked timidly.

Lawrence asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The blacksmith was pushed by a few people, and was very reluctant to speak on behalf of everyone.

"Prophet, we would like to ask you, what should we do when we pray?"

Lawrence had thought about this for a long time, and his previous idea was not to interfere.

"You can say whatever you want, and you don't care about the form."

Lawrence still talked to these people as he had thought before.

It doesn't matter if you don't speak loudly and muttered anything when you pray.

In fact, at first, no one knew what to say, Lawrence himself didn't know what to say, and he didn't have time to make up a set of things, so he just mixed up.

It's always been mixed, and everyone thinks that when praying, it's just a matter of just a few words.

But today the gods sent down a miracle, and the people who thought it was a heavenly punishment quickly reflected on their mistakes, thinking that it was because they were disrespectful to the gods when praying.

Even though Lawrence gave a more acceptable explanation of divine punishment as divine help, the fear of God made the blacksmith and others want to learn the rules.

Soon a Bhumian said: "Prophet, what did you say when you prayed?" ”

"Prophet, please tell us how we should pray."

When Lawrence saw that these people were obsessed with this matter, he said, "All right. ”

"When you face the gods and me, you are on the left and on the right."

Lawrence saw that the gang had nothing to do, so he was idle and bored to tell them which hand was left and which was right.

"The most powerful right hand, the hand with which you usually grasp things, the hand that picks up weapons."

Lawrence raised his right hand and turned to show the men which was the right hand.

"Raise your right hand first on your chest, then your left hand, and do a slow motion with your right hand and left hand, clenching your fist slightly."

A group of barbarian men and women quickly followed Lawrence's movements, their arms crossed in front of them.

Lawrence said simply: "When you pray, when you cry left, your left hand uses a little force, and when you shout right in your heart, you grab your right hand, you don't need to use too much force, just like the strength of an egg." ”

"Left, right, left, right, left, right."

"Learned? Go to work first, and do so when it's time to pray. ”

Lawrence stood outside for a while before feeling a little cold, and quickly sent the men back.

The blacksmith and the others went home with their hands clenched into fists and frowning.

"Left... Right... Left... Right..."

"Left hand, right hand, left hand, right hand."

Back in the house, Lawrence continued to roast over the fire and waited for dinner.

Delenn looked at his palm, "Lawrence, is the hand holding the weapon the right hand?" ”

"Well, it's usually right-handed." Lawrence simply answered Delen's doubts.

There are also people who are accustomed to using their left hand, but in a few cases, they do not need to be specially supplemented, and it is easy to make people who are not divided between left and right more confused.

In the early stage of learning, the simpler the better, and when you get used to the left and right, you can naturally distinguish the left and right before considering a few events.

Explaining a few probabilistic things like left-handedness and right-hearted to a group of barbarians who can't tell the difference between left and right is like deliberately going against their simple minds, complicating simple things.

Delen looked at his hands and quickly made the difference between left and right.

Whether it's a Bhumithe, a Clauda, or a Durella, there may only be one in a hundred people who can tell the difference between left and right at the first time.

Most barbarians and mountain people prefer to distinguish directions by exact location, such as kitchen, yard, valley, outside the door, up and down the mountain, so-and-so's house, etc.

Especially for people in mountain and forest areas, the concept of left and right is very vague, and the way to know is based on memory and habits.

Lawrence was supposed to be just perfunctory to those people, to give them a uniform habit of praying.

But after a minute or two of roasting, it was found that it was easier to form a large-scale legion array by allowing these people to distinguish between left and right.

Whether it is for future training or for commanding and directing in peacetime operations, direction is very important.

It's too difficult to go east, west, north and south...... It's completely impossible.

Left and right are more suitable for the current environment, even quite difficult.

Even the simplest of things, Lawrence is pretty sure that someone must have trained for three or four days and couldn't tell.

Turn left, turn right, it's nothing short of torture for the brains of this bunch of barbarians.

After eating, everyone gathered to pray, and Lawrence looked at the praying people in front of him.

Many people were frowning and flustered, looking east and west, bowing their heads and carefully pretending to be praying.

There are too many people who are not divided between left and right......

Lawrence suddenly had a change of mind.

"In the future, if I can't cure the disease, I will say that they don't usually pray with their hearts."

After thinking about it, Lawrence felt that the pressure on his shoulders was much less, and his expression was kinder.

After repairing the Colossus, the group returned to the manor on the hill.

If Lawrence feels safe in the future, he can go to live at the bottom of the mountain.

Looking at the meaning of Luoshanda and others, you can also live under the mountain, and the dogma is not so dead.

However, there are no rivers at the foot of the mountain, and there are no large forest resources.

If a trade route like the Black Goat tribe could develop, it would be more convenient to live by the river.

There are also mills, whether it is a water-powered mill or a wind-powered mill, or the ore and charcoal needed by the blacksmith shop, which are more convenient in the mountains.

In the early stage, it was convenient to go to the mountain, and then moved out after the population and traffic could not bear it in the later period.

At present, it is more suitable for the mountains, safety first.

"While the eternal night has not yet arrived, everyone quarries stones on the mountain with iron cones and hammers, and will use them to build a house next spring!"

"The right stones can be collected and used for the people down the mountain to practice throwing stones."

After the arrival of winter, the burning and ice explosion methods can be used again.

Every winter, Lawrence does this to build the road, and this year is the third year.

Lawrence set his sights on the mountain at the edge of the forest, where the cliff was more than fifty meters high, and he had considered digging a cave in the mountain two years ago.

Now there is a shortage of stones, and if you can dig a hole in that mountain, you can not only solve the stone problem, but also have one more place to live.

The light source is not a big problem, and now there is enough fuel to support it, and it is also possible to open a few holes for light transmission.

The amount of these works is huge, and Delen can't be counted on, Delun only needs to help a little thing at a critical time, and the rest of the things are still completed by the strength of ordinary people.

There are only ten people in the quarrying troops, and there is no need to worry about this for the time being, the most important thing is the problem of cultivation next year.

Dig up more big trees, get more fertile land, and harvest more grain next year.

If everyone can eat their stomachs, they will soon become strong and powerful.

Strong and powerful men and women are the real wealth, both to cultivate livestock and to resist foreign enemies.

Lawrence's ideas grew up more and more, but everything was built on the healthy growth of little children, men and women.

Filling your stomach is the most important thing.

Rest when it's time to rest, and when it's time to provide fuel and clothing, Lawrence also has to give his spoils to the newcomers to help them survive the winter.
