Mountain and Forest Kingdom

Pige, who is more than one year old, has already become the overlord of the mountains.

Thanks to a dog friend and the support of humans behind me, I had enough to eat, drink, and bask in the sun every day, and spent my childhood carefree.

Moistened by a large amount of food and nutrients, as well as magical fruit seeds, Pidge's hair is dark and shiny, his eyes are sharp, and his body is fat and powerful.

In addition to regularly going to my good friend's place to eat some home-style food, most of the time I still look for some meat in the mountains.

Recently, Pidge likes to bask in the sun and rub tree bark.

Although I don’t know why I do it, it doesn’t matter. As long as I feel comfortable doing it, I will do it.

The well-fed Pige was just like he was when he was a child, lazily basking in the sun.

Then I felt my skin itching, so I quickly got up as if I were getting up to work. I went to find a large rough tree nearby to rub my neck and the itchy areas on my body, and by the way, I knocked down a few fruits to eat.

Because he has been familiar with the existence of humans and certain domestic animals since he was a child, although Pidge doesn't like to come into contact with those things, he has no intention of attacking.

People at the bottom of the mountain will not get too close to the mountain, nor will they take the initiative to get close to Pige.

On this day, when Pig was lying on the mountain basking in the sun after eating and drinking, the thick pig skin suddenly smelled a pungent odor.

Pige got up half of his body and looked around in confusion. After wondering for more than ten seconds, Pige quickly got up and followed the smell and approached.

After walking and stopping along the familiar road and approaching the human settlement in front, my good friend Doug ran down from a long way to greet it.

"Woof!"

"snort!"

Pidge lowered his head and sniffed the ground, as if looking for food.

Doug also happily sniffed the ground around, looking for something to eat.

Pig, who was looking for food seriously, quickly raised his head again and smelled the familiar scent again.

Soon Pig approached the woodland.

Doug stretched his neck and searched around on the ground. After searching for a long time, he couldn't find anything to eat. When he raised his head to see if his good friend had found any food, he found that his good friend had walked away.

Doug quickly followed, and together with Pig, they approached the outlying houses of the forest camp.

Nearby lumberjacks and women avoided the ferocious boar, and someone went to alert Lawrence.

When Lawrence came from the main house, Pig and Doug had entered the camp through the main entrance and stopped outside a... pig pen.

Pige seemed to have lost his soul and stared blankly at the sows.

It has no interest in the small wild boars raised by the Cloda people, but has a special liking for those fat pigs that are chubby and smelly.

That’s a sow!

Seeing this, Lawrence ordered: "Let the pigs roam free from now on. There are no dangerous beasts around here, so it doesn't matter if they are released."

"Yes, Master." Mandekru also knew what was going on with the big black pig.

There are a lot of chickens and sheep in the camp, both male and female, but there are not many pigs left due to several chaotic relationships. In addition, many piglets have been castrated, resulting in a lack of male pigs for breeding.

Last year, no piglets were born because there were no boars.

Lawrence led the men close to the pig pen. After Pig felt a large number of men approaching, he quickly escaped around them.

Lawrence did not stop Pidge and let the sows out after Pidge left.

Soon Lawrence went back to busy himself with various things, while also writing down various things to do.

The breeding and breeding of cattle and sheep should also be carried out. The chickens can choose purebred snow chickens, but the cattle must find suitable bulls from outside for breeding.

Another thing to note is that Nala, the Dom sheep that Salil has raised since she was a child, is about to give birth to a lamb.

Salil herself was very concerned about this matter and fed Nora more feed every day.

After there is more food in spring, the chickens begin to lay eggs normally. However, the chickens here will not hatch eggs in winter and early spring. They will only actively hatch eggs in summer and autumn when there is more food.

Lawrence needs more chickens, and since hens won't lay eggs when it's cold, create a warm place.

"Dren, I plan to use the dug cave as an incubator to hatch chicks."

After dinner, Lawrence told everyone his plan.

Before Delen spoke, Sariel said in shock: "Can chicks hatch in caves?"

Sariel thought about it with her own wisdom: Throw an egg into a cave, and then a chick will run out chirping after a few days?

Or bury an egg on the floor of a cave, and a few days later a chick will chirp its furry head out of the soil?

The smart Lawrence explained: "Yes, when the hen hatches the chicks, it mainly needs to provide a suitable temperature. As long as the temperature in the cave is kept at a suitable temperature and the humidity is maintained, the chicks can hatch smoothly."

Salil quickly asked: "Can we hatch small fish, lambs, and puppies?"

The smart Lawrence explained seriously: "Those are the lives gestated in the body. They are generally divided into viviparous and egg-laying ones. The egg-laying ones have the energy needed for growth in the egg itself, while the viviparous ones need to obtain nutrients from the mother before they can be born. .”

"In short, the right temperature and environment can allow the chicks to come out of the eggs smoothly, just like snake eggs and turtle eggs."

Sariel looked at the smart Lawrence, "Lawrence, have you seen turtle eggs and snake eggs? When did it happen? Why didn't you ask me to go and have a look?"

"I haven't seen it! It's inheritance!" Lawrence defended: "These are the inheritance of wisdom!"

"Oh!" Salil nodded, envious of Lawrence's smart heritage and how much he knew.

The smart Lawrence looked at Lathander, "Mother, before the experiment in the cave, I want to make a simple incubation room in your house. It only needs a place to put two boxes."

Lathander was also curious about this matter of giving birth to life, "What do you need me to do?"

Lawrence said: "It doesn't need to be too high. Just put it in the corner of your house and ventilate it a few times a day to let the temperature drop."

The goat's milk and eaten eggs are close to where Lathander rests, and the temperature here can reach over sixty degrees.

The temperature will be much lower in places far away from Lathander. Lawrence and the others often carry goat milk in Lathander's house and know where the temperature is high and where it is low.

Seeing that Lawrence had made arrangements, Lathander agreed: "Okay, it's very simple."

Sofia said happily: "Great, this way we will have more chickens, and we will eat chicken legs every day from now on!"

Lawrence smiled and said: "If it succeeds, we can build an incubation room in the cave so that chicks can be hatched in winter."

Salil asked: "Then where will we live? Aren't we going to build a big castle this year?"

Lawrence: "We will live in this place for a while. We will move there after the three-bedroom, one-living room, kitchen, bathroom, warehouse and other places are dug in the cave."

Salil said disappointedly: "Wouldn't that take a long time?"

"Yes, it will definitely have to wait until the wheat is harvested in the summer." Lawrence said seriously: "The castle we want to build is several times larger than the current house. By then, the nearby farmland and land will definitely be occupied, so it must be We’ll start work after the autumn harvest.”

"We have enough manpower this year to open up farmland faster, and the fields in the town at the foot of the mountain are all ours. If we are busy in the spring and summer, this winter will be more comfortable than last year!"
