The end of natural disasters: the daily life of child brides in ancient times

Lu Tianming asked someone for information and learned that people in Qingping County were not allowed to enter the city. He couldn't help feeling disappointed.

Looking at the big mountain nearby, Lu Tianming also felt worried. His family had a horse carriage, but how could they get into the mountain?

At this time, it was already dark. Lu Tianming found a corner to stop and planned to check for information tomorrow to see if he could find a way to enter the city.

After a simple meal, the group began to rest. During the night, more refugees arrived at the city wall.

The next morning, everyone got up at daybreak.

When Lu Tianming came back from finding out the news, he saw his father happily talking to the village chief.

Lu Tianming was very happy to see his cousin. When he saw his nephew behind his cousin with a cloth tied around his arm, he hurriedly asked about it.

When the village chief heard his cousin's question, he sighed silently and said:

"Shufu was trying to protect his mule when he was beaten by refugees. The journey is getting harder and harder, and I wonder how many people are trying to steal the mule."

The village chief said, then looked back at his son and continued:

"The day before the rain, we encountered a large group of refugees looting us. Seeing that Yuanyun was about to be dragged away, I let the mule run away in desperation. The refugees chased the mule, and our family finally escaped. Unfortunately, most of our food was also stolen."

Lu Tianming glanced at his cousin. He looked very thin and even old. It had only been more than a month since he fled from famine!

The village chief seemed to feel that it was not a good idea to say this, and started to inquire about Lu Tianming's situation.

Lu Tianming recalled this journey and couldn't help but sigh:

"Once we were on the official road, everything was pretty much the same. We had both horse-drawn carriages and ox-drawn carts, which attracted quite a few sneak attacks. Fortunately, we were numerous, and the small groups of refugees were all repelled."

The village chief nodded, looked at Lu Tianming's daughter Yuan Fang standing aside, and subconsciously said:

"Luckily, you and Brother Yao's family left together. Bowu and his child are doing well. Once everything settles down and the two children get married, I will definitely have a good drink with them."

When Lu Tianming heard what he said, he was silent for a moment, then changed the subject and took the initiative to say:

"I just went to inquire about it. The gates of Qingping County were already closed before the rain. They haven't been open for a while. I'm afraid it's unlikely that we can enter the city."

Lu Tianxin, who was standing nearby, felt very embarrassed when he heard the village chief talking about Bowu, and he wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

Seeing that his elder brother avoided the subject, he breathed a sigh of relief and glared at Guihua who was sitting obediently next to him.

Lu Tianming was unaware of the situation behind him and continued:

"I heard that the refugees before all took a detour through the mountains to the west. They said there was a mountain road there before and it was passable by carts, but I don't know if it's true or not!"

Everyone was attracted by the news and came over.

The village chief also forgot the discomfiture he had just felt and asked:

"Can carts be used on this mountain road? If that's the case, it would be better than taking an indeterminately long detour."

The others also nodded. These families all had cars. If the cars couldn't go into the mountains, it would be a life-threatening situation for people to carry so many things on their backs.

They chatted for a while, and when they saw some refugees starting to head west towards the mountain, they packed up their things and followed.

The village chief's wife had been worried all the way, but only after seeing Lu Tianming did she feel relieved.

After fleeing from famine for so long, she subconsciously regarded Lu Tianming as a stabilizing force.

When people relax, they start to think about other things.

She remembered that when she mentioned Bowu just now, several families had strange expressions on their faces.

After looking around, the village chief's wife decided to ask Tian Fu Niang.

Tian Funiang was walking at the end at this time, and the village chief's wife came over and asked.

When Tian Fu Niang heard her question, she subconsciously glanced at the person in front of the team. She felt that the distance was a bit close and was worried that the person in front would hear it.

But after holding it in for so long, she really wanted to find someone to tell this explosive news.

Before, apart from the person involved, the only woman in the team was his daughter-in-law.

But Xiu'er was not a talkative person. When she heard what she wanted to say, she advised her not to mention it, lest it be bad for the three families in front to hear it.

At this moment, someone finally asked about it, and he immediately lowered his voice and spoke next to the village chief's wife.

This story begins when Lu Tianming and his group escaped to a small road. At that time, the road was winding and they were worried about problems, so they rested at night.

At that time, there were no refugees on the path, and since they were the only ones on the road, the night watchmen couldn't help but relax their vigilance.

That night, Yao Bowu went back to sleep after working the first half of the night, and Lu Tianfu was on duty in the second half.

Lu Tianfu was exhausted after traveling all day, and he couldn't help but doze off while on duty.

When Yao Bowu was half asleep in the morning, he felt someone was beside him.

I thought he was my own brother, and subconsciously hugged him and wanted to continue sleeping.

Unexpectedly, when he reached out his hand, he touched something soft, and Yao Bowu was so scared that his sleepiness disappeared.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that it was Guihua. He was so scared that he took two steps back and fell to the ground.

At this time, Guihua also opened her eyes and screamed.

The woman's sharp voice woke up the sleeping people, and everyone was stunned by the scene.

Guihua, a grown-up girl, lay down in Yao Bowu's bed!

Yao Bowu subconsciously looked at Lu Yuanfang and saw that her eyes were red and filled with tears. He hurried over to explain.

Before he could say anything, County Magistrate Yao asked coldly:

"Bo Wu, what's going on!"

Yao Bowu was also confused, he didn't know what was going on!

"Dad, I don't know what's going on. I was so tired after my night shift last night that I went straight home to sleep. I was the only one in the bed before I went to sleep! I don't know what's going on..."

When County Magistrate Yao saw his son like this, and thought about how much he cared about Yuan Fang, he knew it wasn't his fault.

Mrs. Cui, the wife of Lu Tianming, looked at her daughter's aggrieved look and thought of Guihua's usual behavior. She could not help but get angry and asked:

"Guihua, why did you end up sleeping on Yao's blanket?"

Guihua looked embarrassed and annoyed, and explained with a red face:

"I got up to relieve myself in the middle of the night, but it was too dark and I couldn't see where I was..."

Seeing her shy look, Cui felt so disgusted that she almost vomited the food she had eaten the night before, and she didn't believe a word she said.

The bedding of the Yao family and Lu Tianxin's family is not in the same place. Even if you take the wrong road, you can't go so far!

Besides, not only was the moon bright yesterday, but there were also bonfires in the team. If you can't see clearly like that, your eyes are useless!

Cui's hands trembled with anger, and she pointed at Guihua and said:

"You, don't you know that Bo Wu is engaged to your cousin?"

Guihua looked innocent and said in a crying voice:

"I didn't mean to do that. I was half asleep last night and it happened accidentally."

The other people in the team looked at this scene and had some guesses in their minds, but no one spoke first.
