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

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.

Just as Lu Qingqing was about to look out the window to see what was going on, she saw a wooden tube poking through the window paper and sticking out.

She subconsciously blocked the wooden tube with her fingers, and heard the person outside the window muttering softly:

"This thing that Third Brother gave me is broken. I can't even blow it!"

As the man spoke, he pulled the wooden pipe back.

At the same time, Yao Bowu's voice came from the direction of the main house.

"There's a thief! Everyone, get up!"

Yao Bowu shouted and started banging the gong.

Now, everyone was called up.

Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang grabbed their weapons and quickly went out, only to run into Lu Tianming who came out with a big knife.

In the yard, the gangsters didn't expect to be discovered so quickly.

A dozen people looked at Huang San in panic, and Huang San was also a little confused.

If the sneak attack turns into open robbery, our brothers will inevitably suffer casualties!

But then I thought about it and realized that Feng Liuzi was in great form recently and had completed four or five jobs in a row.

That guy is about to take my place!

Huang Sanyi gritted his teeth and decided to get this order!

"Brothers, since we've been discovered, let's rob openly. We'll split 60% of what we get!"

When the thugs heard this, they became excited and tried to kick the door with knives.

Before they could do anything, everyone in Lujia Village opened the door and rushed out.

A group of people rushed out from the main house and the two side houses and surrounded the thugs.

Most of the men held hatchets, and even the women held kitchen knives.

Huang San was dumbfounded when he saw this group of people!

The informant clearly told us that there were only eight or nine fat sheep in this group, so how come there were at least thirty of them rushing out!

He thought to himself that something was wrong and couldn't help but wonder if he had been tricked by Feng Liuzi.

Why is the work assigned to me so weird!

Normal people would just lock the door when they go to bed, but this group of people not only had a large number of people, but also had people on night duty!

Huang San took a rough look around with the help of the light. In addition to those holding swords, there were also those holding bows!

He thought quickly and realized that even if he fought hard now, he and his brothers would probably suffer heavy casualties.

After all, he has been in the underworld for so many years, and when he saw that he couldn't win, he was very flexible.

He threw the knife to his feet, knelt on the ground, and begged for mercy:

"Please spare us, gentlemen! We brothers have listened to the slander of the evildoers and have offended you all unintentionally!"

After Huang San knelt down, a dozen or so thugs under his command also knelt down.

Lu Tianming had been prepared for a fierce battle, but he didn't expect them to kneel down in seconds.

But seeing that their knives were still at hand, Lu Tianming did not let down his guard.

If we launch an attack rashly now, these people will definitely fight back with knives.

Lu Tianming didn't want the villagers to suffer any casualties, so he asked:

"Who are you and why did you attack our team?"

Huang San breathed a sigh of relief when he saw they didn't attack, and immediately replied:

"We are the largest gang in Enling County, the Qunying Gang. As for what happened tonight, it's all a misunderstanding, hehe..."

Huang San laughed awkwardly twice, and seeing that Lu Tianming and his group did not get angry, he continued:

"There are many people in our gang, and we have many leaders. I was tricked by that bastard Feng Liuzi. He was the one who set me up to come here. He's the one who wanted to rob you!"

Lu Tianming could tell from the words that this gangster was from a big gang in the county and probably had quite a few people.

He had come across this kind of local tyrant before, and they were very difficult to deal with.

Usually these gangs are deeply involved with local government, and it is reasonable that the strong dragon cannot defeat the local snake.

Thinking of this, Lu Tianming said:

"We are from Yidu County in the north. Yidu County was occupied by the barbarians, so we just fled here and are just stopping here to rest."

Huang San heard this and quickly replied:

"Sir, although I, Huang San, am a scoundrel, I also abide by the code of conduct in the underworld. Now that we have met, we are brothers. I swear I will never cause you any trouble again. Look, if everything is fine, then we will withdraw first."

Lu Tianming raised his hand to stop their actions and said:

"Wait a minute, brother. We're leaving Enling County tomorrow. We'll excuse you for one night here. We'll let you go when we leave!"

Huang San's expression changed as he heard this.

Lu Qingqing gripped the bow tightly in her hand, the bowstring was fully drawn, and if the situation changed, the arrow would be shot at Huang San immediately.

Huang Sanyi looked up and saw the arrow aimed at him.

The bow and arrow were ready to be released. He was so frightened that he quickly let go of the hand that was about to hold the knife, raised his hands and explained:

"Little girl, don't get excited, I agree with your proposal!"

Lu Tianming stepped forward and kicked Huang San's knife away. The other villagers also took up weapons and stepped forward cautiously to kick their knives away.

During this period, some gangsters were unwilling to do so, but were stopped by Huang San with a stern shout.

Finally, Lu Tianming and his team tied up all the thugs.

To prevent them from shouting, even their mouths were gagged.

When Huang San and his group were taken into the house, they were very nervous, fearing that the people of Lujia Village would turn against them and kill them.

Lu Tianming arranged for the night watchman to keep an eye on them, and then took the rest of the people back to the house to discuss.

Lu Tianming looked around at everyone and took the initiative to speak:

"What do you think about this? Feel free to share your thoughts."

Seeing that no one spoke, County Magistrate Yao said:

"What this thug said is very likely true. Collusion between gangs and the government is common."

When the village chief heard what County Magistrate Yao said, he hurriedly said:

"Then we can't stay here for long. If the gang finds out they haven't returned, they'll come looking for us and we'll be in trouble!"

Wang Dashan also said:

"Yeah, the gangs over there used to be very domineering. If they encountered anyone who dared to stop them, their entire family would be beaten and killed! I guess the gangs are pretty much the same."

The women who were listening nearby also started talking about it.

Although they had to kill some people while fleeing the famine, they were essentially ordinary people.

When encountering danger, the first reaction is to avoid it and run away.

Lu Tianming listened to everyone's discussion and understood everyone's thoughts. He said:

"In that case, just in case, we will set out early tomorrow morning."

Thinking of the gang of thugs tied up in the room, he said:

"That gang must have been watching carefully tonight. Someone in their gang must have known they were coming here. Let's go straight ahead tomorrow morning and wait at the city gate."

After a brief discussion, Lu Tianming asked everyone to go back and rest.

He went to the room where the thugs were imprisoned. Their hands and feet were tied tightly and they were lying on the ground.

Huang San was tied up like a dumpling. When he saw Lu Tianming come in, he stared at him nervously.

They were afraid that he would change his mind and kill them all.

Lu Tianming lowered his voice and gave a few instructions to the guards Yao Bowu and Wang Dahe, mainly asking them to keep a close eye on the situation and not let anyone escape.

Huang San felt relieved only after he knew that Lu Tianming had no intention of killing them.
