Mountain and Forest Kingdom

In the evening, Lawrence returned to the outside of the manor carrying a hundred pounds of pork.

Reglo was on patrol and quickly went over after spotting Lawrence.

"My master, welcome back."

Lawrence looked at the masculine woman of steel and smiled: "I harvested a pig knuckle and took it back to the house."

Lawrence put down his backpack, which contained a pork knuckle as big as an engine.

Regloro was surprised when he saw such a big piece of pork: "Is this the leg of a big wild boar?"

Lawrence felt much more relaxed after putting down the pork, "Doug led the men to hunt it. It was really a huge prey. You have a good rest today, and tomorrow you and Salil will hunt those stray wild boars."

"We still have more than ten stray piglets here, all over one meter long. The largest wild boar is dead, and the largest remaining one is no more than one and a half meters."

Reglo said quickly: "Yes!"

Lawrence quickly walked to the stone house. After understanding the situation, Salil and Sophia brought water to Lawrence to wash his face and hands.

Lawrence said while untying the leggings: "I'm going to the foot of the mountain tomorrow to conduct a funeral. This time a man died in the village. His family hopes that I can attend the funeral so that the soul of the deceased can be guided."

Salil said: "Vip is doing this kind of thing."

Lawrence smiled and said: "I should be the one to do it now. I don't think Vip is opposed to this kind of thing. I might also be responsible for his funeral affairs."

Salil smiled happily, "How many cans of wheat can you harvest?"

Lawrence explained: "It's been received, it's the pork, and I said we can't get any more food from there until the Pumixiu people get a lot of food."

Salil nodded, "That's right, then I'll go hunting wild boar with Reglo tomorrow."

"Safety first." Lawrence reminded: "We have enough food to eat. If we encounter small wild boars, we will kill them. We will mainly drive away the large ones. You bring your bow and arrows."

Sariel smiled and said: "Okay, I actually don't like fighting at all, and it's going to rain in the afternoon. We'll avoid the guys who encounter trouble and come back at noon. You should be careful."

"Okay." Lawrence knew the news of rain in the afternoon in advance,

Sofia sat cooking. Reglo put the pork knuckle in the bucket and went out. Salil was cutting the pork.

The two puppies next to them smelled the fresh smell of flesh and blood and ran around happily. Because they were in the way, Salil quickly caught them and threw them into the haystack.

"Ouch..." The two puppies screamed and quickly moved away from Salil.

Lawrence smiled and said: "I went to see the beehives today, and there were bees living in one of the beehives. There will be honey in the fall."

Sofia turned her head and looked here, "Really?"

Salil said excitedly: "It must be true! Lawrence has always been so awesome!"

Both Salil and Sophia became excited and began to look forward to the day of eating honey.

Seeing the happy faces of his family, Lawrence felt a lot less pressure on his shoulders. Today he received another hundred and dozens of kilograms of meat, which can be made into dried meat and can be eaten for a long time.

The trade with the Cloda people continues to be postponed. Now that there is not enough meat to eat, it would be too wasteful to exchange grain for meat.

After a day's rest, Lawrence assigned today's construction tasks to the slaves in the morning. After allocating personnel to houses, fields, wood collection, hunting, trap making, household defense, etc., he led the Dom sheep down the mountain.

It is true that Dom sheep are not very obedient in spring and summer, but if they really don't care, they will only become more disobedient.

Even if Lawrence is not riding, he still has to pull Dom sheep for exercise, otherwise these sheep will never work hard to run at critical moments.

"Would you like to change your mount?"

Lawrence thought of a mount that would be more suitable for him.

There is currently no news about horses, the best mounts. There are moose and cows in the village, and there are people riding wild boars in some places in the Kingdom of Lofen.

"I remember that there were donkeys. I feel that it is better to walk on the mountain road with donkeys, but donkeys also seem to be stubborn."

"Although there are stubborn donkeys, they are only a minority. They are better than Dom sheep. If you don't consider running long distances and only consider carrying loads and walking on mountain roads, donkeys are indeed better."

There are more donkeys in the southern kingdom. The climate there is suitable for donkeys and there are many varieties of donkeys.

Dom the sheep was reluctant to follow Lawrence down the mountain at first, and often stopped to nibble on small flowers on the roadside without permission.

After Lawrence tied the reins to the tree and walked behind it with a stick, it immediately let out a miserable and frightened cry.

After that, he became much more honest and could be led around without much effort.

The funeral of the deceased was held in Pumixiu Town. The whole process was not complicated, and no one was entertained for dinner.

Everyone gathered together at the pit, and the men buried the dead in the soil.

What looked like a boat was dug out of the pit. The man had no real boat to sink in the sea, so he could only be buried on land.

Because they could not give him a decent funeral that conformed to tradition, everyone invited Lawrence, hoping that Lawrence could guide the warrior to the Kingdom of God.

The funeral of the nobles was to be burned to ashes and sunk into the sea together with the ship. The funeral that the Vakiri longed for was to be buried in a ship captured from the enemy, or an old ship that had returned in triumph many times.

The king and the great nobles would monopolize the ships that had returned with many victories for their own use, while the lower-level warriors and nobles were buried in damaged old ships captured after battles.

The customs of the Pumixiu and Wakili people are also somewhat different. They also use boat-shaped pits, but they will light a fire on the flat grave, and then a group of prestigious elders will sit near the fire and wait for the fire to start. The pile goes out naturally.

The Pumixiu people believe that fire is the beginning and the end of everything. Whether it is a sea battle or a land battle, no one can do without the flame.

Fire brings victory and rebirth, but it also brings closure.

Lawrence didn't know what to say. Fortunately, others didn't know the rules outside, not even the rules of the Valkyrie.

According to the Pumixiu people's own rules, Lawrence, Vip, and Doug sat on triangular seats made of three logs, looking at the fire quietly and solemnly.

Vip is the manager of the village, Doug is the warrior, and Lawrence is the witch doctor, prophet, and priest.

Originally, the three giants in the village were Vip, Doug, the blacksmith, and the hidden character Andrew.

Now middle-level people like the blacksmith and Friesen were standing around looking at the flames. Neither Kate nor the blacksmith wanted to sit where Lawrence was sitting, but where Vip was sitting.

It's not that Vipu is old, it's that everyone thinks they can serve as warriors or leaders, but they don't have the confidence to replace the functions of witch doctors, prophets, and priests.

For the Pumi Xiu, some positions are natural and some are up for grabs.

In primitive tribes, prophets are more likely to be protected and their words carry more weight.

"It's okay, his soul has been rested." Lawrence stood up first and said, "It will rain in the afternoon, everyone should go back and prepare now."

Everyone was doubtful, even Doug was a little surprised.

Andrew did not tell others about Salil. This can be seen from the fact that he took Salil to live in seclusion in the mountains. He did not trust Doug.

Everyone quickly went back to prepare. After visiting the patient, Lawrence rode the Dom sheep back to the mountain, and did not get off the mountain after returning home.

At five or six o'clock in the evening, the spring rain came belatedly. The spring rain was not heavy and stopped after about ten minutes.

This is the most suitable time of year for vegetation to grow. Crops and vegetables in the fields are growing rapidly.

The pea shoots outside the house also formed tiny pods under the moisture of the spring rain.

Even in the harsh winter and the gnawing of sheep, some pea seedlings were lucky enough to survive, and then began to grow taller and bloom into natural fruits with their tenacious vitality.

Lawrence also planted peas on the mountain. This time there was a long enough growing time, so he chose Lawrence’s high-quality seed screening method to plant the best pea seeds in the limited land.

Vegetable seeds from the Cloda people also occupy a large area, including pumpkins, garlic, lettuce, potatoes, and radishes.

It won't be long before Lawrence can eat the vegetables he grows himself.
