Chapter 148 4.8 Sophie's New Life

"Bang Bang Bang"

Loki, who slept in his own warm bed for the first time in three months, was awakened by a violent knock on the door. He opened the door sleepily and saw Oleg's thin face.

"Master Oleg, if I'm not mistaken, the roosters in the village haven't started crowing yet. What are you trying to do?"

"Village chief, I said at the banquet yesterday that I need to go into the Tianduan Mountains with my nephew to find the beast's nest. We may need..."

Halfway through his words, Loki immediately raised his right hand and ruthlessly interrupted him.

"My old man, you are the host of the temple"

"In my Hanshui Village, as long as you don't set the house on fire, no one can stop you no matter what you do. Well, even if you want to burn the house, you can say hello first! Anyway, the statues in the temple were all found by you, and the wood used to build the temple was produced in Wuya Town, and it didn't cost me much money"

"Lack of people, lack of food, lack of money, whatever you lack, just ask Wenzov directly! My old friend, remember that you will be the king of the mountain in Wuya Town in the future! As long as the Slavic workers can live a happier life, you can do whatever you want."

After explaining, Loki, whose eyes were almost completely closed, gently closed the door. The next morning, Oleg and Bakambushi got on the carriage and walked out of Hanshui Village with a large cart of food.

No one knew where they wanted to go.

No one wanted to know, because all the senior managers in Hanshui Village were attracted by another item at this time.

"So this is a "magic sword" that can protect my Hanshui Village from drought and flood, and keep the warehouse full?"

Jerome looked at the stone sword that looked quite ordinary, and even the carving craftsmanship could be described as "rough", and asked in a rather suspicious tone.

Not only him, but also Wenzov and even Katya were confused. Loki called them into the room excitedly, and everyone thought he had picked up a huge gold ingot, but he didn't expect that in the end he would take out such a broken, rough, and inconspicuous stone sword.

In the eyes of the Vikings, this thing is not as tempting as an ordinary iron sword.

"You don't understand, this is a divine weapon that only appears in the legend of the Tang Dynasty in the East! About 3,500 years ago, the ancestor of the arrogant Tang people, the Yellow Emperor in later generations, appeared."

Loki told these blond and blue-eyed medieval foreigners the legend of Xuanyuan Sword with a dry mouth, but these people became more and more confused the more they listened.

Jerome was confused because Loki often put on an atheist face. He would point to the Holy Cross and say that it was a piece of wood, and point to the sky above and say that "Holy Lord Christ" had never appeared.

Such a person suddenly swore to a stone sword that something could change the climate. How could a once so staunch atheist believe such an absurd thing? Jerome couldn't help but wonder if he was possessed by some terrible creature.

As for Wen Zof, his concerns were mainly in other aspects.

As a steward who supervised the agricultural production of Hanshui Village, Wen Zof was more like a farmer than anyone else present. Because of this, he knew that "good weather and good harvest" were essentially extremely difficult to achieve.

Crops such as wheat and corn were planted on a few acres of thin land outside the village. Wheat loves drought and sunshine, while corn prefers abundant rain in summer. If these two crops grow together, one will be "good weather and good harvest" and the other will inevitably fail. Although the poor environment of the Scandinavian Peninsula makes these two crops half-dead in most years, if the two crops are harvested at the same time

He has lived for more than 50 years, he has never seen it.

After talking about the ancient myths of the ancient Chinese country for a long time, Loki was so thirsty that he found that it was of little use in the end. These golden-haired foreigners in the Middle Ages could not understand the weight of the four words "Xuanyuan Huangdi". In the eyes of Old Gore, if this thing was not inserted in the middle of the 12 statues and "looked" very awesome, he even thought that this sharp stone might be a mistake made by the group of lizardmen, who picked up the stone as a diamond.

"Hehe, just wait and see, tomorrow will be a sunny day, and I will have good luck!"

Finally, Loki figured it out himself. In the eyes of the Vikings, gold is above everything. The overly low-key appearance of the Xuanyuan Sword can just play a role in confusing the sight. He walked around the village with the stone sword in his hand, and finally climbed to the top floor of Hanshui Castle and inserted the sword into the top of the bell tower where the "Generalist" Ahai once raised crows.

In this way, Xuanyuan Sword stood at the highest point of the village, and its main body would be covered by the large roof of Hanshui Castle, and it could not be seen unless you climbed to the attic.

**

For the rest of the day, Loki began to deal with the government affairs of Hanshui Village. His village was "injected" with a large amount of funds again, and the village could start the next round of construction plans.

After careful comparison and thinking, he decided to build a hospital first.

As a basic civilian facility in a town, hospitals are not uncommon in many "developed countries" in the Western Continent. However, medical technology has not been developed in Scandinavia, which is probably due to the terrible tradition of the Vikings' desire to enter Valhalla after death.

None of the 8 upgrade paths passed down by Valhalla is related to medical skills. At the same time, Viking warriors were ready to die. Once they were sick or unwell, their first reaction was to pick up an axe and rush towards their enemies, dying in a glorious battle.

Seeing a doctor is almost non-existent.

Loki believes that this situation must be changed in Hanshui Village, and the reason is very simple: the baby boom is coming.

The large-scale "baby boom" of the population is generally accompanied by two factors:

1. The country has just completed an exciting achievement, which makes the residents living in the country full of infinite respect for the future.

For example, the "4664 phenomenon" after the Lighthouse Country won World War II.

From 1946 to 1964, the new population of the Lighthouse Country reached 76 million, accounting for one-third of the entire country at that time.

Everyone gets married and everyone has children, because everyone knows that their country is a rising star.

2. The country has just issued an exciting new policy.

For example, the new policy of "internal reform and external opening up" formulated by the Red Country in 1978. This policy has enabled this ignorant emerging country to completely step out of the shadow of Big Brother and embark on the road to take-off. Even though there was another policy of "family planning" at the time, women in the 1970s would still try their best to contribute to the family.

Hanshui Village won the defense of Hanshui Village and annexed Wuya Town. This was a weak policy. Shengqiang, a great achievement unparalleled in the world. When Loki promulgated the "Household Contract Responsibility System" and each family began to be the master of their own house, everyone was full of confidence in the future.

Birth naturally followed.

During the three months that Loki went to sea, he found that there were as many as 214 pregnant women, and what was even more terrible was that these women were still working outside over mountains and hills. They were not treated well, and occasionally they were sick and edema just rested at home. In 3 months, nearly 10 women had miscarriages due to improper maintenance and strenuous exercise.

The newly promoted garrison captain Katya also saw it and was anxious in her heart. That's why she stopped her collection team from entering the mountains to find herbs and spiritual roots to replenish qi and blood, and further strengthen the women's constitution.

This kind of situation The situation cannot continue!

So Loki's first decree was to start construction and build a hospital. Doctors in the Middle Ages may not be easy to find for the time being, but the existence of the hospital at least provides these pregnant women and sick villagers with a place to get nutrition, eat adequately and rest.

Of course, the hospital can also play a certain degree of isolation role for infectious diseases and the panic of residents after they get sick.

After taking out 100 gold coins, Loki handed the task of building the hospital to the newly promoted "Bishop of Light" Lawrence Nightingale. Through observations along the way during this adventure, this is a pious monk who keeps the teachings of the Holy Bishop in mind. Compared with fighting and killing, he is more interested in saving the dying and the wounded, and is obviously the best candidate to control a hospital.

After simply finalizing the scale of the hospital and the internal facilities , Loki left all the rest of the work to Lawrence to solve. As a lord, he didn't have time to do everything, otherwise he would be exhausted like Zhuge Liang in Wuzhangyuan.

It was late at night when Shi Jian finished explaining the government affairs. Before going to bed, Loki went to Sophie's room and pinched his daughter's tender face. He was surprised to find that during the time he was out at sea, the 5-year-old girl's originally shriveled figure had grown like bamboo shoots after rain. Her face began to become round, and her thin arms began to become plump and shiny.

But her skin was still much darker than other Slavic women.

Sophie, Sophie, when you were dark and thin, you looked like a little boy, and I, an old father, could hug you, but now you look like a big girl after only three months of not seeing you!

The old father can no longer hold you to sleep, you sleep by yourself

Touching Sophie's soft hair again, Loki left his daughter's boudoir. Before leaving, he stuffed the "Imperial Seal" obtained from the Black Pyramid into Sophie's arms.

Let's not talk about whether this thing is real or fake.

Loki will not sell it.

And being forced to show this thing in the Conqueror's Fortress has already caused him enough trouble. The best way now is to keep a low profile.

It seems to be the most appropriate gift for his daughter.

After closing the door, a dim candlelight wall lamp entered the house. Sophie threw the doll made of silk in her arms aside and fell asleep with the seal in her arms. Her moist and warm breath fell on the surface of the seal, and this stone, which was originally like gentle white jade, slowly turned orange-red.

It synchronized with the frequency of Sophie's heartbeat, and vibrated rhythmically with the girl's breathing like a living thing. Black impurities like smoke and dust flowed out of Sophie's mouth and nose, and it was not until the early morning that the seal returned to its original appearance.

The little girl who got up was crystal clear, as if she had undergone a marrow cleansing.
