Chapter 586 Emma’s efforts
Logging requires tools, especially handy iron tools and durable transportation tools. Lawrence must go to Ironforge.
The frozen river could no longer move forward. Lawrence led a group of people from Feiyu Port and took the Skyline back to Dumu Port.
Xiao Yubao and the little nun followed the team of maids and nuns back to Dumu Port, and returned to the familiar and simple kennel for a while.
The busy Lawrence was talking to Bull about monogamy and the future arrangements for the monastery in the house, when he heard a sound like a dog barking from outside.
"Ouch~"
Xiao Yubao's voice came from outside.
Lawrence paid no attention at first and continued talking to Bull.
In the yard outside the dog house, the little nun was cleaning the cowshed.
In the past few days, the monastery's cows will be loaned out to nearby farmers, who will then send some vegetables, chicken and eggs.
The mission of the little nun is to take good care of the three cows in the cowshed, add feed on time every day, clean the feces and dirty grass in the cowshed, and notify the old nun if there is a problem with the cows.
Xiao Yubao lay on his hands in the water tank and continued to moan in the distance.
Its sound sounded like a playful sound to the little nun, so the little nun was busy working and ignored it after saying a few words.
But the nuns nearby, who were taking a break from classes and work, soon couldn't stand it anymore.
Before the rest of the nuns could get angry, Lawrence and Bull arrived at the gate.
Xiao Yubao's voice is extremely penetrating, sounds normal, and spreads very quickly. Especially when it touches a stone building, it will give the people inside the building the illusion that it is shouting in their ears.
Lawrence came over with doubts to check the situation.
"Woof!" When the little fish saw Lawrence coming, he happily lay on the edge of the water tank with his hands, and patted the water with his tail fiercely, showing an excited look.
Seeing that Xiao Yubao's condition was normal, Lawrence came over and asked.
"Yubao, are you calling me?"
"Woof!" Yu Bao greeted Lawrence happily.
Lawrence stood in front of the water tank and picked up the little fish. This little guy didn't grow as fast as human children, and was now slightly larger than an adult cat.
"What do you want from me? You want to know about the waterbed? It may take a few days. The carpenter from before drank and forgot about it."
Lawrence felt a little helpless. His subordinates were not the kind of people who could perform tasks correctly, nor were they machines that could do everything. Occasionally, various accidents would occur.
Yu Bao shook his head and quickly turned his fat body in a circle in the water tank, constantly slapping the water tanks on both sides, showing an expression of displeasure.
Lawrence understood this time, "The water tank is too small. It's different from the one used in the castle before, right?"
Yubao whimpered happily, as if he was acting like a spoiled child.
Lawrence smiled, "It seems that you know who is the richest here at a young age, not bad."
There are some things that Xiao Yubao cannot solve by asking the nun to solve them. He must ask Lawrence to solve them.
Just as Lawrence said, Xiaoyubao has figured out who can help.
Children from ordinary families will only complain to their parents when encountering similar problems.
Xiao Yubao's thinking and logic is similar to that of a witch. He goes to whomever can solve the problem. He is not limited by family education and is not bound by the idea of what is shameful or not.
"Okay, the place you live in is indeed too small, and the small room Lana lives in is not very good either."
Lawrence thought for a while and quickly made a decision.
"I will build you a big house on the beach. From now on, Yu Bao, you will raise fish for me. I will allow you and Lana to catch fish from the fishing ground and eat them, and I will also give you wages."
Lana came over with a broom and said, "Master, I still want to be a nun and don't want to raise fish."
Bull didn't say anything, and the old nun who came with him angrily yelled: "What nonsense are you talking about? Whatever the prophet tells you, you have to do it!"
Lana's faith in Lawrence is weak, but she is taken care of by Lawrence. This kind of thing has caused some people's dissatisfaction.
This dissatisfaction was mainly directed at Lana, and Lawrence's care was understood as kindness.
The little nun did not dare to speak after being reprimanded. Lawrence took the initiative and said: "The seaside can also be a monastery. Most monasteries are built on the seaside."
"You can go back to the monastery every day to eat and work. The house built for Yu Bao won't be too far from here, at most one or two hundred meters."
"If you feel that this place is not suitable, you can also go to Snow Mountain Castle. Snow Mountain Castle has a monastery and a clean lake. You have lived there before, so you should be very used to it."
The little nun didn't want to go to the snow-capped castle with few people, but preferred to be here in the familiar monastery. "I am here, and the monastery is my home."
"It's also my home." Lawrence comforted the little nun softly and said with a smile: "Then I will arrange a bright room for you in the monastery, a room that can see the sea. It just so happens that this monastery can also be partially renovated and built. Some buildings.”
Lawrence looked at Bull, "I'll leave this matter to you. There may be more and more people joining the monastery in the past few years. We only accept the best ones, not everyone."
"Yes, prophet." Bull glanced at the little nun. The girl who was taken care of by Lawrence could not be called excellent in any aspect.
Xiaoyubao's call worked, and Lawrence rearranged the rooms for the little nun and Xiaoyubao.
Xiao Yubao can also go to the bathroom to take a bath and play in the water when he has nothing to do. He can also go to the beach to play or go shopping in the town.
Lawrence does not restrict Xiaoyubao's actions, but in addition to Lana, he also arranges for Boolean to impart knowledge to Xiaoyubao to prevent the smart Xiaoyubao from being too deeply influenced by Lana.
After a slight delay of a few days, Lawrence and Bull arrived in the town of Pumexiu together.
Because he had a large army with him, Lawrence had to stay in Pumixiu Town for one night and go back at dawn.
I wanted to go home tomorrow and then go to Ironforge to arrange the iron work, but Emma hurriedly appeared in Lawrence's room.
"Master, Umu did something wrong!"
Catherine was washing Lawrence's body in the bathroom. Lawrence turned around and asked, "What did he do? Murder?"
"No, it's something more stupid." Emma stood two meters away and lowered her head, saying sadly: "He and Gurney had a depraved act in the warehouse where the hay was stored before he received the blessing. Sex.”
Lawrence felt it was nonsense. Wumu was a normal boy. He was fifteen or sixteen years old. It was normal for a boy of this age to be impulsive about that kind of thing.
Gurney remembered that she was the same age as Um, and they were both barbarian boys and girls with normal development. Both parties had established a relationship, could they bear it?
"It doesn't matter, this kind of thing does not violate the doctrine, it is just not encouraged." Lawrence suddenly felt that this matter needed to be taken seriously, "Find a soldier from Pumexiu Town to bear witness to their marriage. The church will not support such a thing." Acts of blessing.”
Emma knelt sadly on the bathroom floor, "Yes, Master."
She had been looking forward to Lawrence witnessing and blessing Um's marriage.
Lawrence suddenly couldn't bear it anymore. On the one hand, it was to emphasize the sanctity and solemnity of marriage and to allow both men and women to maintain a sense of responsibility for their partners, but on the other hand, it was the woman who had been following him for more than ten years.
Beow would not have such a problem. The other slaves and warriors who grew up with Lawrence also knew the importance of rules and how terrible it was to lose their blessing.
Because Um has been out of control since she was a child, her mother Emma has no time to take care of her and has been working diligently in the castle.
Thinking of this, Lawrence couldn't bear Emma's long-standing expectations to be disappointed.
It's okay to call this matter a troublesome matter, or it's okay to call it a trivial matter.
Lawrence took a look, and sure enough, Emma was still kneeling on the ground and hadn't left.
"Get up and come over and help me take a bath."
"Yes! Master!" Emma quickly gained hope. Lawrence would definitely not be short of people to help him take a bath. She ordered herself at this time, and there must be a turn for the better.
Emma quickly took off her cumbersome maid's dress and entered the pool to scrub Lawrence's body wearing only simple clothes.
Catherine sat down and took a bath sensibly.
Lawrence thought about Wumu's matter, "Our church does not encourage the behavior of private life-long decisions, and you should also be aware of the consequences of such behavior."
"Yes, Master, I understand very well." Emma gently soothed Lawrence's anger.
Lawrence thought of a solution to the problem. Making a private life is also a kind of rebellion against the class system and authority. Most people who do this will not be supported by their families and families.
This behavior often results in young people becoming uncontrolled.
Lawrence is not that feudal, but witnessing marriage is also one of the proofs of state authority and cannot be thrown away.
If I, as a prophet, blesses Umm and Gurni, I am supporting this kind of pre-marital behavior.
At least other kids will definitely use this as an excuse.
Umu was usually a gatekeeper. He had not made any meritorious service on the battlefield, nor had he contributed any skills. Except for his two mothers and sisters who worked as maids around the prophet, he was completely inferior to the other Pumixiu children.
"There are two options, you decide for yourself."
Lawrence did not let Umu make the decision, but let Emma decide, because he gave Umu the opportunity not because of Umu, but because of Emma.
"First, let the pastor of the church bless him."
Emma breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked: "Thank you, what about the second one?"
Lawrence said calmly: "I can give him a blessing, but the day after the wedding he must go to Feiyu Port to participate in the war. This war with the elves will definitely kill a lot of people. In the past, he not only cut trees, but also fell into the most vulnerable places. The elves work in the lumberyard until winter!"
Emma had no other choice, "I choose the second one!"
The first one will not die and nothing will happen.
But after the second choice comes out, choosing the first one is an act of cowardice!
When Emma heard the second option, she had no choice.
Although Umu may die, Emma is already prepared for this realization.
A wedding that was blessed by the prophet and a wedding that Lawrence did not attend were two very different things to the two families.
If he dares to give up this honor, his angry father-in-law and his family will really kill him.
Compared to the mistakes he made and the opportunity Lawrence gave him to make amends, this was already an extremely generous decision.
It is never a natural practice to be given a chance to make corrections.
Under normal circumstances, there is no mercy at all, let alone the opportunity to make meritorious deeds.
People who have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds are usually one of their own, and someone has won this opportunity for them.
Lawrence sighed and held Emma's waist with both hands, "Some people make mistakes and get a chance to prove themselves again. Some people make mistakes and can't hold their heads up for the rest of their lives and are criticized by others."
Emma leaned forward and leaned in front of Lawrence, "I understand, Master, please let me thank you!"
Emma and Tim spent more than a decade helping Um become a decent Pumixiu man, and he almost ruined it all!
Now Emma can only work harder.
With Emma's efforts, Lawrence gave Um a hard-won opportunity.
The core of the Ice Land is still barbarism and violence. If Umu refuses Emma's choice for him and refuses to go to the battlefield to die, then he will definitely die, and Emma will execute this coward herself. (End of chapter)
