Mountain and Forest Kingdom

It was already night after returning to the mountains. After the three of them fed the livestock, they simply washed and went to bed.

Early the next morning, Lawrence and others went up the mountain after feeding the livestock.

"I have used some of the wood at home. Although there is still a lot, I have to replenish it in time."

Lawrence wanted to make a storage rack to store all his personal property neatly, so he needed some more suitable wood.

Sofia happily followed behind with Dom the sheep, and next to her was Salil who was in a good mood.

Salil was carrying a basket that contained not only lunch but also chess pieces for the chess game.

Dom Sheep was also carrying a blanket for taking a nap. The sun was shining brightly today, and the three of them were going to rest on the mountain.

Not to build a house, but to collect some fuel, eat, rest and relax.

There are still many places on the mountain that retain snow. Lawrence walked up the sloping mountain road, holding Lawrence's killer hoe in one hand and Andrew's ax in the other.

We stopped outside the woods where we had caught squirrels and chose a place with fallen leaves and dead grass.

Lawrence said: "Right here, first clear out a place to rest nearby."

After saying that, Lawrence threw the weapon on the ground, pulled out a long wooden stick from the bow on the sheep's back, held the stick in both hands and beat it randomly on the grass.

A few flying insects the same color as dry grass quickly flew out, and there was also the sound of birds flying in the distant woods.

From the forest not far away came the chirping of birds, as well as the mixed sounds of branches and cold wind.

Once Lawrence made sure there were no snakes or other small animals nearby, he prepared to light a fire to speed up the cleanup.

Flames can clean up a clean area faster. Most areas are now covered with snow. In addition, many plants are not easy to burn due to winter, so there is no need to worry about wildfires.

"I'll collect some pine oil, and you can find some rocks to make a fire."

Lawrence warned, then walked towards the nearby large pine tree with a wooden stick and a dagger.

The pine trees here are very resistant to burning as long as they have bark. Fires rarely occur on the mountain, and even if they do occur, they will be extinguished quickly.

However, the oil secreted by pine trees is a very good ignition material. You only need to collect some to use it as a torch.

It's just a bit choking and not suitable for use inside the house.

After the rosin is solidified and refined, it can be made into rosin, which can be used as poison in this era.

Lawrence looked around several large pine trees, and soon saw pine oil that looked like wound pus on a pine tree with a wound.

"It looks like it was damaged by a wild boar." Lawrence looked around and found no obvious footprints on the ground.

After squatting down and searching carefully, I found a few broken pig hairs.

"There are indeed wild boars here. It seems necessary to set up a trap to catch wild boars here."

Lawrence stood up and looked around, found a branch, rubbed the pine oil on the bark repeatedly with the branch, and collected it on a larger branch.

With the help of pine oil, Lawrence quickly lit the fire.

While sitting in front of the fire, lighting a fire, Lawrence suddenly thought of the use of flames.

"Saryl, when will it rain next?"

Salil was concentrating on laying the animal skin blanket on the ground. After hearing Lawrence's inquiry, she said impatiently: "I don't know."

Lawrence said, "Can't you tell when it's going to rain?"

Salil said loudly: "It won't rain today, it won't rain tomorrow, and it won't rain tomorrow! Do you remember clearly?!"

Lawrence said casually: "Remember, I can hear you even if you don't have to be so loud. There might be wild boars nearby. Be careful to lure the wild boars over."

Salil quickly turned around and sat down, and said arrogantly: "Wild boars sleep during the day and only come out to look for food in the morning and evening. Especially in winter, they will bask in the sun and sleep during the day. You just need to If you don’t mess with them, you’ll be fine.”

Sofia asked Lawrence: "Master, can we kill the wild boar?"

Lawrence also had such plans.

"Yes, but you have to set up a trap and wait until you return to do this. And it's best not to have direct contact with the wild boar."

"I'm going to dig a hole to catch the wild boars that are unlucky and it's hard to catch them with ropes and other stuff."

Salil reminded: "Then you have to dig a little bigger. The wild boars here are much bigger than those in the south. Whether they are bears, wild boars or humans, they are all much bigger!"

This is indeed true. Lawrence often encounters savages who are stronger and taller than himself, but he lacks understanding of the wild animals here.

"How big are the wild boars here?"

Salil quickly stood up and walked towards Lawrence, put the wooden stick that Lawrence had put aside on the ground, raised her head and said:

"It's much higher than this." Salil raised the 1.6-meter long wooden stick.

"Three meters?!" Lawrence looked at Salil in shock, with a look of disbelief on his face.

Salil put the stick back, nodded and said, "Yeah, it's usually this big."

Lawrence was frightened. The three-meter-tall wild boar was equivalent to a moving tank, and its collision force was even stronger than that of a tank.

By the way, Andrew seemed to have said that he had killed a wild boar?

"What should you do if you encounter such a wild boar?" Lawrence felt that he needed to learn the escape secrets in the mountains in advance.

Sariel said with a relaxed look: "If you encounter wild boars, just run towards them with a loud shout, pick up rocks and branches from the ground and throw them at them, and they will scare away."

"Ahhhh!" Salil screamed and said to Lawrence: "Just shout like this and pretend to hit it."

Lawrence thought calmly and came to a very rational conclusion, "I... maybe I don't dare."

Salil frowned and educated: "Lawrence, you can't always be so timid."

The more Lawrence thought about it, the more he felt that he would be frightened if he really encountered that kind of wild boar. He would not be able to yell and run towards the wild boar like the female barbarian next to him, and pretend to kill the wild boar.

Lawrence thought of another creature.

"What do you do when you encounter a bear?"

"Of course I ran away!" Salil said decisively: "Don't hesitate, run away!"

Sariel thought of something else and added: "Don't run in the direction of home, and don't climb trees. Many broken trees in the forest were broken by bears. If you climb the tree, it will shake it down. "

"The best way is to climb up the mountain wall, but Lawrence, you probably can't outrun those bears. You should exercise more."

Lawrence shook his head, "I don't think that's a gap that exercise can make up for."

Lawrence also regained a roughly correct understanding of the beasts in the mountains and his living environment.

There are ferocious beasts in the mountains and nobles at the foot of the mountains. It feels like this life is not so comfortable.
