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

Moreover, this location is not far from the city gate and shops, making it convenient for them to purchase supplies and wait for people at the city gate.

After Lu Tianming and everyone looked at it, they decided to make it.

The rent is five cents of silver, and the deposit is two cents of silver.

After receiving the money, the waiter gave them the keys and asked them to find him when they checked out to return the keys and refund the deposit.

The waiter happily took the silver and walked back, making five cents of silver for free.

His brother worked in a pawn shop, and this house was originally the yard that the pawn shop wanted to rent out.

However, when the news of the barbarian attack came, the owner of the pawnshop had left in advance.

Naturally, no one took care of this yard, and he even paid for the key to the gate himself.

After the waiter left, everyone was allocated rooms and the rent was shared according to the number of rooms.

For example, Lu Tianfu's family only needed one room, while the Wang family had men and women living separately, so they needed two rooms.

In this way, the whole group of people were able to stay.

After everyone simply tidied up the room and put their things away, Lu Tianming began to arrange people to go to the city gate.

Before the barbarians attacked, Lu Tianming told the team that if they entered the city, they should wait for others in the city.

At this time, two people were sent from the team to guard the city gate, and if any villagers entered the city, they would be brought over.

Today is the first day, so Lu Tianming asked his son Lu Shuhe and the village chief's son Lu Shufu to go first.

The remaining families went to purchase supplies in batches. Although the city seemed peaceful, it would be safer to leave at least five men at home.

Except for Lu Qingqing and the Yao family, all the food and iron pots of other families in the team were basically thrown away.

During the two days of fleeing famine, I couldn't even cook and had to rely on the dry biscuits I had before to survive.

Seeing this, the two families took the initiative to stay and let the other families go shopping first.

In addition to these five men, there were also some women left in the yard.

After the people who went out to buy things left, Mrs. Yao led her eldest daughter-in-law to start making pancakes, and the four men of the Yao family began to clear the weeds in the yard.

Seeing this, Lu Qingqing also asked Qin Lang to go over and help pull out the weeds.

Among the pulled grass, a lot of it is edible for livestock, so it is not wasted and is directly used as food for livestock.

Lu Qingqing and the other women fetched water and began to clean the house. After all, they would be staying there for several days, so a cleaner house would make them more comfortable.

In the yard, Yao Bowu was absent-mindedly pulling weeds, and his eyes unconsciously glanced towards Lu Yuanfang.

Seeing that she was about to bring water, he hurried over to take the basin and said anxiously:

"Your arm is already injured, how can you carry water? What if you get injured again?"

The concern in his tone made Lu Yuanfang's heart beat faster, but when she thought about the fact that they had already canceled their engagement, she took two steps back to avoid suspicion.

Guihua was right next to the well. When she first saw Bowu running over, she looked at him excitedly.

Unexpectedly, he went straight to his cousin. Now, listening to Yao Bowu's caring words, he just wished he was Lu Yuanfang.

Guihua felt a strong sense of crisis and felt that she could not let them go on like this.

She frowned and stared at Yao Bowu, her mind full of thoughts.

Sister-in-law Guan had just put down her luggage and came out to see Yao Bowu carrying his own basin of water.

He frowned unconsciously. The two families had already canceled the engagement, so it was not a good thing for him to keep pestering Yuan Fang.

He quickly stepped forward to take the basin of water, then called Lu Yuanfang back into the house.

Mrs. Yao looked at her son's stupidity, sighed unconsciously, and decided to talk to him again in the evening.

Lu Qingqing had already heard that Guihua slept in the wrong bed in the middle of the night and that Yao Bowu and Lu Yuanfang had canceled their engagement.

The atmosphere between them was delicate during this meeting and they didn't want to stay any longer.

After getting some water, she prepared to go back to the house to clean up, and Xiao Erya hurried to follow her.

Behind Erya was Xiao Shitou.

Wherever Lu Qingqing went, the two children followed her.

Since Erya left the Li family, she has felt safe and started to talk more.

Every day he turns into a little follower, following Lu Qingqing and talking non-stop.

Xiao Shitou, a child who had little contact with people of his age, stayed next to Erya after seeing her.

It's very interesting to listen to Erya chattering non-stop.

So, the scene above happened.

Now, whenever they have free time, the two children follow Lu Qingqing, and the adults can't call them back.

This time, when her granddaughter was about to follow Lu Qingqing, the Queen Mother held her back with amusement and coaxed Erya to help her clean the house, and then she kept her.

......

Lu Tianming and his group left the yard and went straight to the grain shop. The price of grain in the grain shop was still much higher than in normal years.

But compared to the outrageous grain prices in Gaoyuan County before, the current grain prices are still acceptable.

Except for the fine grains bought by Lu Tianming's family, most other families bought coarse grains, and only bought half a bag of fine grains for the elderly and children.

Although they heard that the barbarians had retreated, no one knew where they would stop or what they would encounter on the way.

Therefore, each family bought a lot of food.

Lu Tianming's family's horse-drawn carriage broke down, so they used the old village chief's ox cart to transport food.

The group was worried that it was unsafe to carry the food around, so they took the food back to the yard after buying it.

After unloading the food, the group started to go out to buy salt, buckets, pots and other items.

Lu Tianming took the horse out specially and bought a suitable carriage.

When I came back for the second time, it was almost evening and I had basically bought everything from every store.

At this time, the two people at the city gate also came back and met a group of people who were coming back from shopping.

Lu Tianming hurriedly asked about the situation, but he did not see anyone from Lujia Village entering the city.

Everyone returned to the yard feeling a little disappointed, but they didn't know that someone was staring at them at the corner of the street.

It turned out that Lu Tianming's group was conspicuous because of their large number of people, and they also bought a large number of things.

He was targeted by the city's thugs, who thought they had found a fat sheep.

When the gangster saw Lu Tianming and his group enter the yard, he quietly wrote down the address and ran away without looking back.

No one in the yard noticed anything unusual, and the women had already prepared meals.

After everyone had dinner, they arranged for night watchmen as usual.

Although we have already entered the city, fleeing famine for so long has become a habit.

If there is no night watchman, the others will not be able to sleep well.

After everyone had packed up and returned to their rooms, Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang also locked the door and entered the space.

The two of them deliberately ate less at dinner, intending to have a midnight snack alone.

The sika deer meat and dragon and phoenix soup that I had planned to make were not made because I met Lu Tianming and his group.

Now they finally have their own independent space, and the two of them have a clear division of labor, with each person responsible for one dish.

Fortunately, I had robbed a truck of miscellaneous items from the bandits before, so I now have several pots in the space.

When the dragon and phoenix soup and braised sika deer meat came out of the pot, the aroma aroused the appetite of both of them.

The braised sika deer meat is much firmer than chicken, and it takes a long time to stew it over low heat until it becomes mushy.

One bite and the venison is fresh, fragrant and tender, paired with the dragon and phoenix soup, it is so delicious that you will be intoxicated!

The two of them ate up all the soup at the bottom of the plate before washing up and leaving the room.

Just as I was about to take a rest, I heard some noise in the yard.
