Mountain and Forest Kingdom

The next day, Lawrence went to walk the dog in the morning and saw Emma walking in while eating at noon.

Emma brought in a straw basket and placed it on the ground, and the Shepherdess and Bull went to help.

"Master, I'm back, bringing strawberries, black berries, and good news!"

Lawrence was not surprised by strawberry berries, indeed only strawberries and a few ground berries were ripe this season.

The oranges and apples in Talim Mountain were ripened by Kharan. Because of Kharan's modifications, the growth order of plants in this area was disordered.

"What good news?" Lawrence smiled and said, "Let me guess, did you meet Red Beard and Andrew's people?"

Emma nodded excitedly, "Yes master, it was Red Beard who came with someone, but Andrew didn't come."

Lawrence said to Salil: "The last time Andrew separated from us, we were prepared to not see each other for a long time. He may not have wanted to see each other again, so he didn't come."

Salil showed an understanding expression, "I don't understand his thoughts, but since he wants to do this so much, I have slowly accepted it in the past two years."

Life in the manor is getting better and better now. You can take a hot bath tonight and eat and drink every day without any problem.

If she continues to live the same monotonous life as before, Salil may still understand Andrew's thoughts.

It's no longer possible. Now Salil finds it really hard to understand that she should go out to be a pirate instead of enjoying a comfortable life, and not create a bright future.

Lawrence said nothing more on the topic of Andrew.

"Emma, ​​is Redbeard here?"

Emma replied: "No, their people are guarding the ship. Redbeard's spirit is not very good. This time he brought five people who were cursed by the sea god. He asked me to come to you and hope you can save those people. .”

Lawrence looked at Salil, "Salil and Delen are with me, as well as Reglo and Seravan, and Kharan and Sophia are looking after the house."

Kehalan and Sophia nodded in agreement, and Delen stood up and went upstairs, "I'll get the weapon."

"Let me help you!" Sophia quickly followed to help.

Salil stood up and said, "Etty collected a basket of oranges this morning. Can we take them with us later?"

After a short period of thinking, Lawrence finally made a decision.

"Bring it with you. Although selling orange peels is more profitable, in terms of effect, oranges are better."

"You can't hide this kind of thing anyway."

The most important thing is that I forgot to process the orange peel. I have been busy with this and that these days. I always feel that I have enough time for this kind of thing. Now that Hongbeard has arrived, it is not enough to grind the orange peel again.

Salil asked again: "Would you like to bring some decks of cards?"

Lawrence was reminded by Sariel, "Bring two more baskets of gray bread. I think Red Beard probably wants to replenish food and water in Dumu Village."

"good!"

Soon everyone loaded the needed supplies on the backs of the sheep, and ten people took twenty sheep to the foot of the mountain. They called Friesen, the blacksmith and others to go to Dumu Village together.

When they arrived at the beach in the evening, Red Beard was sitting on a log grilling fish. They lit two piles of fire on the beach, and Red Beard had only one.

Lawrence walked over and said, "Is the patient okay?"

Redbeard was a little surprised, "I ate something, then fell asleep on the beach, sat down and talked."

Lawrence walked over and sat down opposite Redbeard, while Saryl and Derren went to take the food and fruit off the sheep's back.

"I have brought fresh fruits. Take some with you when you leave. Try to eat them sparingly, but you must also eat them all before they spoil. This will protect you from being cursed when you sleep on the ship."

Redbeard looked at the baked herring in his hand with a disdainful smile, "I don't believe this."

Lawrence said: "Your men just believe it."

Redbeard admitted that Lawrence was right, and those people did believe this.

"I will accept your things. This time I have no slaves or anything else to give you. I can only give you a boat's worth of herring."

Lawrence looked at the seaside and knew that what Redbeard was talking about was a pirate longship that was much larger than a canoe.

"Okay, what I gave you wasn't anything valuable."

Redbeard thought for a while and added: "There is still a lot of salt on the ship. I originally planned to trade with people from several small islands in the west, but they are not short of salt."

Salt has been a high-profit commodity in many eras, but it is something that everyone can afford, mainly because of its low cost and small profits but quick turnover, which can make a lot of money.

There is actually no money to be made from smuggling sea salt, and businessmen prefer a high-profit business.

"I brought twenty decks of cards," Lawrence said.

Redbeard smiled, "We can make that kind of thing ourselves, and we sell a lot of it to people at the port, making a lot of money."

Lawrence asked: "Have you seen Doug last winter? He was probably killed by Avari, and then I avenged him and killed Avari."

Redbeard looked at Lawrence in surprise, "I didn't expect you to do such a thing."

Lawrence continued to ask: "Did you go to the Royal Capital last year?"

Redbeard looked at the sea, "We met at the tavern, and then the king announced that he would not rob the Southern Kingdom this year, so we separated."

Lawrence was surprised. He thought these people were going to attack the Eastern Islands.

"Didn't you go attack the Eastern Islands?"

Redbeard sneered: "Where are you going to die? You must not know that the road to the Eastern Islands is ruled by the Sea Tribe. If we gather a large number of ships there, they will sink. If a few ships go to the Eastern Kingdom to plunder, we will definitely die. .”

Lawrence looked for Salil's location. Seeing that Salil was busy with something in the distance and didn't pay attention, he asked in a low voice: "Does Andrew want to go to the Eastern Islands?"

Redbeard smiled and said: "No, he is waiting for an opportunity."

"What chance?" Lawrence didn't know what his father-in-law was thinking. After all, he was not the same kind of person.

Redbeard explained: "Waiting for the opportunity to be summoned by the king, whether in the east or west, there are many powerful creatures causing trouble. Only the truly strong can destroy them!"

"Although Andrew is with me now, I believe it won't take long for him to challenge the sea monster."

Lawrence asked: "How long?"

"Go when he is ready. It will probably take a few years." Red Beard smiled: "He needs a sharp weapon, but we haven't found it yet."

Redbeard looked at Lawrence, "I have left Valkyrie and established my territory in the west. You can come and help me."

Lawrence smiled and said: "I have also established my territory. Now I have more than two hundred people in my territory, including Pumi Xiu and many slaves."

Redbeard had already noticed that the blacksmith, Friesen and others did not sit down with Lawrence, but went to look elsewhere after Lawrence sat down.

"It seems you took over after Doug died. I thought it would be Vip or Kate."

Lawrence explained: "The two people died in accidents. Doug hid all the food here during the winter and refused to share it with the others. The food reserves of those in the town were robbed by Avari and Doug. , causing a lot of people to cause a lot of trouble."

"That's it..." Red Beard understood everything.

Lawrence had no intention of continuing to chat, so he got up and went to check on the patient.

Although it has no therapeutic power, it can at least bring some hope and some stomach-warming food to these people.

In addition to oranges, Lawrence provided the men with gray bread mixed with soil and sawdust.

These breads can prevent them from having smooth bowel movements and are equivalent to weakened Guanyin soil, which can alleviate the diarrhea problem caused by eating raw seafood to a certain extent.

After paying for food and fruit, Lawrence received more than two tons of herring and other fish, as well as crabs, cod, catfish, squid and other marine life.

A large amount of fish catch requires sufficient manpower to be converted into food in time, otherwise it will become smelly and impossible to eat.

With the help of the Pumixiu people, Lawrence brought back a thousand kilograms of fish meat, and distributed the rest to the Pumixiu people to handle slowly.

This transaction shows that Red Beard does not pay attention to this aspect.

However, Lawrence did not dislike Red Beard. It was just that he did not make much this time, but it was not that he had nothing to earn.

The food given here is also not good, just endless fruits and two baskets of bread made of half a basket of wheat.

Lawrence is somewhat greedy for the rich marine resources nearby. In this era, it is easy to catch a large number of fish, crabs and squids, and he does not need to go too far to the sea to catch many, many fish.

There are not only fish in the ocean, but also many rich resources.

It's a pity that the Pumixiu people don't want to live by the sea, otherwise they would have a point to obtain marine resources.

With Salil's weather forecast, the biggest risk problem in ocean fishing can be easily solved. Not to mention two hundred people, even two thousand people can be fed!

"Brick, don't your people want to live in a warm place? If they are willing to become my people, I will allow them to live here in Dumu Village."

Lawrence set his sights on the Snow Cave Man.

Brick looked scared, "Then...the Valkyries...will kill us..."

Lawrence nodded, "Yes, the Valkyrie..."
