Mountain and Forest Kingdom

The weather is getting colder, and people in the frozen land begin to prepare for the long eternal night.

Even Yubao began to prepare for the long winter night, catching a few big and fat fish and throwing them into buckets on the beach.

Sister Lana fished on the beach with her bare feet and two other little nuns.

"The water is so cold, let's just go and sit next to it and wait for Yubao to catch fish."

Lana, now fifteen, had great advice.

The other two little nuns, less than ten years old, accepted the head waiter's advice very happily.

"yes!"

The three nuns quickly returned to the bullock cart on the edge of the beach, sitting on the cart and wiping the sand from their feet with their hands.

Dirty feet are no longer so dirty after being soaked in sea water.

Although I have been raising fish and ducks in the past two years, Yubao is still doing it, and Lana has always been there to help.

The fish treasure in the sea in the distance quickly swam back and pushed a big fish to the shore with its head.

The big fish jumped violently on the shallow beach. Yu Bao quickly crawled over and carefully knocked the big fish into the bucket with his head.

"Howl~" Yu Bao quickly shouted to the shore.

Before the three nuns had time to put on their socks, fishermen who were collecting shells and seafood not far away came over.

"Yubao, are you catching fish again?"

The girls from the fisherman's family all knew Yu Bao. Seeing that Yu Bao could not lift the bucket, the two girls helped carry the bucket to the shore.

Yubao shouted happily, and then his body quickly ran back to the sea.

Within a few minutes, Yubao came over with a fat fish as big as two palms in his mouth.

The two girls were about to put the fish into the bucket, but Yu Bao quickly shook his head and quickly placed the fish at the feet of a girl.

"Oh~" Yubao thanked happily.

This was not the first time Yu Bao had done this. The fisherman girl happily accepted the fish, "Thank you, Yu Bao."

Yu Bao quickly ran to Lana's side.

Lana picked up the running fish and put it on the cart, then waved goodbye to the fisherman girl.

After the fall, Lawrence no longer allowed the fisherwomen to go fishing.

It's not for the sake of ecological balance, it's mainly because of the turbulent underwater currents at this time of year, plus the freezing cold water, so there's no need to salvage these seafood just for some food.

Normally, fish will be caught and salted in advance. Just relying on a few fishing boats can solve the problem of eating fish.

Although it is a port and a coastal city where most pirates and merchants gather, there are actually very few people who like to eat fish here.

Given the choice, not many people take the initiative to eat fish.

In the past, fish was cheap at the seaside, so we could only eat fish. Now food prices are not high. Now that we have wine and meat, there is no need to eat fish. At most, we can get some dried salted fish as a side dish.

Men who can be fishermen are more willing to be warriors. If not, they can cut down trees, go into business, or farm.

The women of the Hokuriku Kingdom are weak, and the blood of the Water City is indeed not as good as the barbarian blood. In addition, Lawrence did not give these people land. If they leave here and go to the mainland, they will lose their residence qualifications in Dumu Port, so for To make ends meet and subsidize the household, I also pick up some garbage at the beach.

Fishermen also receive wages, but the problem is that family finances are concentrated in the hands of men. The fathers of fisherwomen are basically gamblers and drunkards, and the wages cannot be divided into their hands.

It is impossible to become a nun. Most nuns are the daughters of nobles and warriors. It is difficult for fishermen's daughters like them to obtain the qualifications to enter a monastery.

The only good thing is that Lawrence often comes to visit, distributes some food and clothing to them every year, and also arranges jobs for them.

For example, visit the fishing grounds regularly and help Yubao clean up the fishing ground.

Whether it is the night watchman of the Evernight Lighthouse, or the nearby fishermen and maritime patrol teams, they all have similar mission requirements.

"Ouch~" Yubao sang, happily sitting in the driver's seat and looking left and right.

Today Yubao is going to deliver fish to Lawrence.

Not to Oak City, but to Lawrence's house here in the harbor.

The bullock cart drove into the bustling urban area and moved slowly on the spacious and flat road.

The cow pulling the cart is a young bull that grew up drinking milk from Yubao. Although he is not young now, he has a very docile temper and will not walk around casually in a busy market.

Lana looked at the nearby stalls selling various pickles, and then at the stalls selling various clothes, fabrics and weapons. There were also stalls selling wine and potatoes on the street, as well as stalls selling pottery and pots.

There are many people walking around the market with their cattle and sheep, buying goods for business, or selling things to find people to work for.

As we walked, there were fewer people nearby. When we got closer to the big house where Lawrence lived, there were only guards nearby.

"We are nuns from the convent, here to deliver fish to the prophet!" Lana called out affectionately after coming several times.

The guard glanced at the three nuns and Yu Bao in the front row, and quickly moved away.

After the three nuns entered the courtyard, they worked hard to move the bucket down.

At this time, Sophia walked out of the house, approached and said with a smile: "The master lets you go in, just leave the fish in the kitchen."

"Yes! Lady Sophia!" Lana quickly and solemnly saluted.

The three nuns and Yubao entered the big house, where Lawrence was writing something.

Seeing someone coming in, Lawrence put down his pen and paper.

"You came just in time. I just sent someone to give Dora, who used to work in the castle, a fur coat. I also have clothes for you."

Dora the Sea Lady was already married and had children. Lawrence was willing to take more care of these maids and guards who had worked for him when he was rich.

Lana quickly explained: "Lord Bull took Tasna to Feiyu Port for inspection and is not in the monastery today."

"I know this, these are clothes for you three." Lawrence asked Sophia to take out the clothes and give them to the three nuns.

In addition to Lana, the other two little nuns are Kelda's daughter, Luke's sister, and the daughter of the warrior who jumped into the sea to fight the sea dragon last time.

Lawrence also gave these two poor fatherless girls sheepskin jackets to keep them warm.

Yu Bao looked curiously at the leather jackets in the hands of the three nuns.

Lawrence smiled when he saw Yu Bao's appearance, "There are some for you too. Recently, I had people prepare a lot of clothes for my children, so I thought of you and made two clothes for you."

"One is a yellow sheepskin coat from the Kingdom of Aio, and the other is a bearskin."

Lawrence considered Yubao’s animal friends, so he did not use cowhide or duck down feathers.

"Oh oh oh~" Yu Bao opened his mouth and shouted happily.

Lawrence took out his clothes and helped Yu Bao put them on.

"The blue and white ones are for wearing in the water, and the yellow ones are for wearing at home. Don't get confused. Just take them off when you sleep. Don't wear them while sleeping."

Yubao nodded quickly and let Lawrence put it into beautiful and warm new clothes. (End of chapter)
