Mountain and Forest Kingdom

You don’t have to take a bath, but you must have a bowel movement.

In order to prevent the place where he lived from being filled with the smell of feces and urine, and to avoid seeing the feces when he went to work in the forest, Lawrence began to plan the location of the first public toilet.

This location cannot be too close to a river as the wastewater needs to be fertilized as waste.

Lawrence took his men to the back of the lumber camp and built a long log cabin.

There are two horizontal ditches in the wooden house, one is a urinal, and the other is a feces tank connected to a large pit.

A partition wall was built with stones and mud to divide the men's and women's toilets.

Considering the number of women, the women's restroom is naturally larger.

Regardless of whether they are adults or children, except for children under five years old, others are not allowed to litter anywhere. If they are caught, they will be whipped.

One toilet is enough to meet the needs of more than a hundred people, and Lawrence and others have dedicated toilets.

Lawrence left the manor with Kehalan and Delen, and today the three of them were going to check Mount Talim.

Kharan felt bored, "Why go to that mountain to see? I am planning to help you build a bathroom today."

Lawrence explained: "For more fruit, if possible, I would like to see if the area where you live is suitable for beekeeping."

Kehalan said casually: "Bees... I thought of it when you mentioned this. I did see bees flying around me before, and then..."

"What's wrong?" Lawrence was a little curious.

Kehalan smiled evilly, "Of course he was killed by me. Wouldn't you kill the bee when you saw it?"

"I only kill mosquitoes when I see them." Lawrence said speechlessly: "Even if it's a mosquito, as long as it doesn't wander around me, I won't kill it."

Delen asked curiously: "Mosquitoes? Are there mosquitoes here too?"

Lawrence replied: "Yes, but not many. I don't see many in summer, maybe because it's relatively cold here."

Delen also said: "The house I lived in before was relatively hot and there were no mosquitoes, but many people in the tribe were often bitten by mosquitoes and got a lot of red patches."

Kehalan looked at the two men with a smile, "I have a way to do this, just trust me, I will let you know how powerful the wizard is!"

Lawrence's mosquito net was put away, and Khalan didn't see this kind of thing that was usually a hindrance, but was especially useful for sleeping.

Lawrence would not let others down casually, and he also felt that Kehalan might really have some powerful mosquito repellent methods.

"Then it depends on how good you are." Lawrence looked at Talim Mountain in front of him and asked, "Apart from apples, what fruits are there on the mountain?"

Khalan said: "Pear, date, Alteran, Purton..."

The first two of Lawrence knew it, but the latter gradually became confused.

Different regions have different names for some fruits. It seems you have to go and see for yourself to find out.

Although the Luofen Kingdom is not a land of ice and snow, and there are many crops and grasslands, it does not produce many fruits.

The most important ones are berries on the ground, followed by apples and pears.

In the south, a lot of grapes are grown for winemaking, basically these are the types.

Lawrence approached Mount Talim again. The last time he came was when he was delivering fried chicken.

Kehalan was not happy when he returned to his hometown. He acted very indifferently and seemed to want to leave here as soon as possible.

"There's nothing to see here." Kharan disliked this place very much.

Lawrence led the sheep up and saw many fruit trees and oak trees in the forest, as well as vines full of berries.

He looked at it very carefully and kept identifying various fruits and plants.

Kehalan walked with a disgusted and uncomfortable expression, covering his mouth and nose and said: "I can't stand it anymore, my smell is everywhere here."

Lawrence looked around in astonishment, and then looked at Kehalan, who seemed to be in a smelly garbage dump area.

"Oh, I remembered. You will feel disgusted by the things you use witchcraft to ripen. In other words, these mountains and plains are full of fruit trees that you... ripened?"

Kohalan covered his mouth with the animal skin, nodded and said: "Hurry up! There is nothing to see here!"

To the rest of the people, the place was full of endless fruit trees, but to Kehalan, who ripened the fruit trees, it was a stink and even a eyesore.

Lawrence said helplessly: "Go to the foot of the mountain and wait for us. I want to take another look."

"Is there anything interesting to see?" Kehalan quickly walked towards the mountain. "I'll go to the mountain to get some air first. There are no such things on the mountain."

"Okay." Lawrence continued to check the nearby fruit trees.

There are many more fruit trees around than normal trees. It may be due to the ripening process of Kehalan. These fruit trees that drop fruits account for the vast majority.

Lawrence saw apple and pear trees, kiwi trees, and small trees that looked like hawthorns.

As he walked, Lawrence soon saw pendants on branches bearing a large number of orange fruits.

"This is...an orange tree?"

Lawrence approached this large tree that looked like an orange tree. The tree was full of orange-like fruits and was crumbling.

A large number of rotten fruits fell on the ground. There was a strong stench in some places, but green saplings also grew in some places.

"Gah~"

Lawrence was startled and looked around quickly, only to find a crow standing on a branch eating an apple hanging in front of him.

It was obviously the crow from before, the crow that always ran away when it was full. I don’t know when it followed this time.

Lawrence raised his hand, "Come here."

"Gah~" the crow called to Lawrence, and then continued to stand on the branch eating apples.

After having food, the crow was of course busy eating.

Lawrence suddenly said angrily: "See if these fruits can be eaten for me!"

When Delen heard what Lawrence said, he worried: "What if these fruits are poisonous and it dies?"

"It doesn't matter. There are other crows we can use. If not, there are a lot of pheasants!" Lawrence was hurt by this crow and decided to raise a crow, and he had to train it from an early age!

I’ve already thought of a name, let’s call it Egg!

The crow continued to eat the apple. After taking a few bites, he quickly flew to another branch and continued to taste the apple.

Laurence soon lost sight of the crow and looked back at the orange tree.

Carefully avoiding the sticky stuff that rotted and condensed into a large piece on the ground, Lawrence used a hoe to hook off a branch.

After plucking a bunch of oranges, Lawrence peeled one open and looked at it.

The white flesh lines and yellow flesh flaps look like oranges.

Lawrence still didn't eat the food, so he went to the mountain to find Khalan with a branch full of oranges.

Kehalan was sitting on a stone on the mountain. Lawrence went up and shouted: "Khalan, can you eat this?"

"No." Kehalan shook his head quickly and said: "I don't eat it. You can only eat it in winter. Now the mature ones have my smell."

Lawrence was sure that the food was edible, and under the unbearable gaze of Kharan, he tore open a tooth and handed it to Delenn.

Delen glanced at Kehalan, who had a wonderful expression on his face, and quickly put the orange segment into his mouth.

"A little sour, a little sweet..." Delen said honestly: "It tastes better than honey."

Lawrence also tasted one. The refreshing sweet water made Lawrence feel like he had arrived in summer.

"It's very good. Pick more and go back."

"good!"

Delenn soon went with Lawrence to pick oranges.

On the way back, Lawrence looked at the silent Kehalan and said, "Look at it openly. God has said that people will always encounter things that they must accept."

Kehalan still covered his face and turned to look aside, "I don't have to accept it."

Lawrence handed over a half-eaten orange, "Try it, otherwise you will resist us. You can't stop us from eating this orange, and you can't alienate us because we eat the orange, right?"

Lawrence and Derren both ate the orange, and Salyl and Sophia must have enjoyed the sweet and sour fruit too.

If Kharan cannot accept this, then when he gets along with everyone in the future, he will show resistance and discomfort as if he is not used to wearing clothes.

Kehalan looked at Lawrence, and then at the orange in Lawrence's hand, frowning tightly.

Lawrence moved his hands, "Eat it, just think it's for us."

Under Lawrence's persuasion, Khalan finally took the orange and swallowed the orange fruit he had produced and ripened.

Lawrence looked at Kehalan's depressed expression and asked, "How does it taste?"

"Bitter..." Kharan didn't want to continue commenting.

Lawrence put away the oranges and said: "Then I will plant an orange tree in the manor. From now on we will eat natural orange trees. Then you will be able to eat sweet fruits."

Kohalan breathed a sigh of relief.

Lawrence asked: "Those fruit trees were from a long time ago, why do you still feel uncomfortable?"

Kehalan shook his head and said very depressedly: "Because I ripened too many things casually when I was free. Those things gathered together to form a very special forest. Other trees were killed by them, even Weeds and their own saplings don’t survive long either.”

"But there are still a lot of berries on the mountain, and some birds will fly over the mountain, and some new fruit trees will grow."

Kehalan can actually eat the crops and fruits she ripens herself, but she can't adapt to this kind of thing psychologically. She resists it when she has a choice, and then it gets worse and worse.

Lawrence asked: "Actually, you can think of your ability as the technology of making bread, getting bread and water from the air and the earth. Wouldn't it be more acceptable to eat like this?"

"No..." Kharan shook his head, "That kind of life is too miserable."

Lawrence comforted: "Okay, we respect each other and understand each other. We are all a family now. I will sell these oranges and will not eat them at home."

Delen frowned and looked at Lawrence, but in the end he did not refute Lawrence's decision.

Kehalan said gratefully: "Thank you, but it doesn't matter. I have thought about it clearly. I am also very happy that you like the fruits I made."

Lawrence said: "It doesn't matter. Let's go back and plant some normal fruit trees. In winter, we will have fresh citrus to eat. As for these, we will sell them to Red Beard when he comes over."

Kehalan was a little curious, "How much can these fruits sell for? Will they need this?"

Lawrence looked confident and very sure.

"Yes, they may invite me to go to sea together, but I will definitely refuse. And if there are no special circumstances, this thing can bring a lot of benefits to Redbeard."

At this time, Lawrence, Derren and Kharan all saw a flock of crows flying overhead.

These crows flew in the direction of Talim Mountain, and they seemed to be organized and premeditated.

Lawrence was not worried about the oranges being eaten. The crows preferred apples and pears to oranges with peels.

When there are more crows, various animals will be attracted to them.

Various animals and crows will spread the seeds of fruit trees, allowing more places to bear natural fruits that can also be eaten by Khalan.

Talim Mountain is a ripe mountain and requires a large number of animals to break down the excess nutrients.

The animals also leave behind droppings and carcasses, bringing with them fresh seeds and grass seeds, which neutralize the witch's magic.
