Mountain and Forest Kingdom

Kate and the Pumi Xiu people at the bottom of the mountain acted quickly and caught three crows in the forest and placed the three crows in separate bird cages.

After catching the crow, Kate came over to explain to Lawrence.

"Mr. Lawrence, we caught these three crows."

Lawrence looked at the three crows and nodded after confirming that they were the largest number of crows.

"good."

Kate looked at Lawrence and invited: "Mr. Lawrence, we will leave tomorrow. The Tree of Wisdom celebration will be held by Vip tonight. Do you want to go over for a drink?"

Lawrence shook his head, "I still have things to do. A true wise man is always lonely."

Kate was in awe. Among the rare stories of savages, the truly powerful witch doctors and wise men did live in seclusion in the mountains and forests.

Soon Kate left here respectfully.

Lawrence looked at Kate's figure and breathed a sigh of relief.

The Tree of Knowledge Celebration sounds civilized, but is actually very barbaric.

Crucifying people to logs and trees did not start with one person, but was a common method used by most primitive humans.

The celebration of the Tree of Wisdom involves nailing a mortal slave to a tree, then hitting the dying man's head with a hammer or a stick, and asking the prophecy from the mouth of this poor man whose half-head has entered the soul world.

"Will it succeed?"

"Will you win?"

"May I?"

The barbarian wise prophet asked in the ears of the slave, who had a bloody head and was extremely weak.

If the answer is no, then keep playing.

If the answer is yes, beat him to death.

Unless the half-beaten slave clearly denies it with his last voice, it is usually considered a success.

This primitive divination method is common in Telang Daho City, the capital of the Luofen Kingdom, the Valkyrie and Pumixiu people, or the exterminated Ug people.

Most of the slaves would not leave their bodies intact. In comparison, the few slaves under Lawrence who had enough to eat and who were basically not beaten were already living very well.

Although they are not paid and are always ordered to work, in this barbaric era, they are ten times better than many free people.

It is absolutely correct to call this period of barbarian rule a dark period.

If you want to live stably in this era, you need strength.

It is definitely not enough to rely on the strength of one person.

Salil's strength can easily defeat three or four people, but any more will cause trouble.

If you want to fight against a tribe or a village, you must have at least ten warriors.

With enough subordinates, a strong general like Sariel can have room to perform, otherwise he will easily be surrounded.

"Selavin, you are busy with the roof today, leave the rest to others, build the house in the next two days, and we will go to smelting iron after Doug and the others leave."

Lawrence needed weapons. The stone and wooden weapons used by the Ug people were extremely fragile in the face of iron weapons. In a period when individual quality could not be improved, upgrading equipment became the best choice.

Whether it is an iron shield or an iron sword or an iron bow, it can quickly improve combat effectiveness.

It can also make agricultural tools, improve agricultural technology, and produce production tools such as scissors and hammers.

Seravan stopped what he was doing and was busy building the roof with Lawrence and the Shepherdess.

The uppermost roof is made of sloping wooden boards stacked on top of each other, leaving a gap between the roofs on both sides for heat insulation. Below are wooden boards laid horizontally to form a triangular stable structure.

In order to prevent the wooden boards from being unstable and noisy when it is windy and rainy, tiles are laid on the outer layer of the wooden boards, and soft soil with weed seeds is spread outside the tiles to fill the gaps.

In this way, after a while, a very short layer of weeds will grow on the roof. The weeds on these tiles will not grow high and will form a sparse sun protection lawn against the tiles.

Salil and Sophia started moving, moving what seemed like a small amount, but actually accumulated a lot of household items day by day, into the big wooden house.

"Woof!" The two puppies chased each other and followed Sophia.

Because Sofia has been playing with them all the time, the two puppies have regarded Sofia as the boss.

Sofia felt that the puppy next to her was about to enter the house, and quickly kicked the puppy away with her feet.

"Puppies can't go in! The house must be clean!" Sofia blocked the door and drove away the two puppies angrily.

The puppies, which were already three or four months old, could easily tell Sophia's state. When Sophia got angry, they squatted there and watched, and ran away when Sophia was about to hit them.

Sofia ignored the puppy, walked to the door, put on clean slippers, and walked upstairs on the clean wooden boards.

The two puppies soon started playing again in the field.

When Lawrence, who was working on the roof, looked into the distance, he also saw two fat dogs running happily.

They are not interested in plants and vegetables, but are very interested in hens and crows. However, after being taught a few lessons by crows and roosters, they learned to behave and no longer dare to chase after hens.

Although Lawrence wanted to train the puppies to be shepherd dogs, neither puppy had the intention of protecting the sheep and did not like to run towards the sheep.

The main reason is that Dom sheep are too big, and puppies can easily run away in front of such behemoths. They prefer to run to hens that are not too big and look easy to bully.

If we have chickens in the future, two puppies will definitely be a problem.

Or if the two puppies are older and have the physical strength and size to bully the hens, they will inevitably start to fight again.

The natural enemies of chickens are not only dogs, but also birds of prey in the sky.

Those eagles and other raptors landed in the chicken coop, and just like drinking water, they grabbed a chicken in one bite, swallowed it in their stomachs in a few times, and then continued to eat at the buffet.

In order to protect the chickens and make the chickens and livestock safer, after Sophia and Salil moved the things out of the stone house, it was temporarily used as a livestock shed.

I rested at night, but it was still not finished today, and one-third of the tiles were not finished yet.

But it was already liveable, so Lawrence walked into his bedroom.

Salil, Sofia, Edie and the Shepherdess were busy setting up the mosquito nets. The big bed had already been made, and Lawrence quickly walked over and lay down.

Wearing a close-fitting woolen shirt, the window opposite the big bed was covered with a luxurious wire mesh screen.

Lawrence, who had been tired for a day, soon lay down on the hay mat, surrounded by a woolen blanket to cover him if he got cold.

The mountain forest at night was much cooler than during the day, and Lawrence fell asleep on a wool blanket without realizing it.

Saliel and Sophia did not disturb Lawrence. After setting up the mosquito net, they let Edie and the Shepherdess go back to rest, and then closed the door to sleep.

While Lawrence was sleeping, the Pumixiu people at the foot of the mountain were holding a primitive celebration around the fire.

Since Lawrence was not involved, he naturally did not know how the Pumixiu people treated their prisoners.

At noon the next day, Reglo went up the mountain to deliver the news.

"Master, the Pumixiu people have set off."

Lawrence breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, continue mining."

Reglo continued: "In the past few days, the Pumixiu people have not been collecting rosin in the forest, nor have they been active where I live. The wild boars in the mountains have appeared again. When I went up the mountain, I saw wild boar excrement."

Lawrence didn't want to go hunting, but now that wild boars are here, he can't let them breed here.

"Okay, let's go hunting tomorrow!"
