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

He walked towards Lu Tianming in front, raised his hands to indicate that he was unarmed, and shouted loudly before getting close:

"My friend, I'm sorry for causing you trouble yesterday. I meant no harm, I just wanted to buy some food from you."

Seeing that he was not armed and that the other party was not numerous, Lu Tianming cautiously continued:

"Our team doesn't have much food."

After hearing what Lu Tianming said, the guard leader hurriedly said:

"I'm willing to buy your food at five times the price. I don't want much, just enough for us to eat until we get to the next county."

In Lu Tianming's team, many people were instantly moved, and many of them were whispering something with their families.

After shopping in Enling County, they had little money left.

We also caught some grasshoppers at home, which will last us a while. We are looking forward to selling some food.

Lu Tianming naturally also heard the movement in the team behind him. When he turned around, he saw the village chief, Lu Tianfu and the Wang family looking at him eagerly.

Seeing this, Lu Tianming had to stop the team, and these families started to discuss with the leader of the guards.

Lu Qingqing didn't go forward, but watched them trade in the team.

During this time, the young master had been observing Lu Tianming's team, trying to find out who the archer was in the team.

Last night, Yuan Zuo found him and Zhou Qishi and told them what happened last night.

After the refugees attacked and robbed their carriages, a small number of refugees chased the team in front of them.

However, they were repelled by the sharpshooters in their team, and the team successfully escaped.

And seeing that they have no injuries on their bodies, this person must be very powerful.

The young master looked around at all the strong men in the team, but didn't find anyone carrying a bow and arrow.

When he scanned the area for the second time, he found Lu Qingqing carrying a bow and arrow.

He didn't expect that it was a little girl, who looked younger than himself.

The little girl was similar to her concubine sisters, both very thin.

Looking at those skinny arms, one wonders if she can pull a bow and arrow?

Lu Qingqing naturally noticed the young master's direct gaze.

When the young man saw that he was discovered, he made a face at her.

Seeing that it was a childish little boy, Lu Qingqing ignored him and turned around to talk to Qin Lang.

Seeing that she ignored him, the young man looked away angrily.

Before long, the transaction was completed between the two sides.

Lu Tianming and his group continued on their journey, but found that the young master's team was following behind them, and the two sides kept a distance from each other.

Because the transaction had just been completed, they knew that they had no ill intentions and that there were not many people on the other side, so Lu Tianming and his group did not drive them away.

Seeing this, Yuan Zuo felt a little relieved.

Their team had only one carriage and two horses, and the number of people was too small, making them too easy to be coveted by refugees.

The team in front was obviously composed of several families from the village fleeing famine together, and there were some elderly people and children among them.

Those who can bring the elderly and children with them in the team are at least humane.

Yuan Zuo then took a gamble, and he won.

After exchanging food with the other team at a high price, his own team kept a distance and followed behind, and indeed they were not driven away.

It was not until the evening rest that Yuan Zuo realized that he had made a mistake.

He only exchanged food for food, but didn't have an iron pot to cook.

Fortunately, the team was not far away, and Yuan Zuo approached the team with food.

I found the leader Lu Tianming and told him that I wanted to pay the women in the village to help cook some meals.

When the women knew about this, they all hoped that he would choose their family.

Cooking is something that all the women in the village can do, so how can you make money by cooking on a regular basis?

Yuan Zuo looked around and chose the old village chief's wife.

It was not just because the old village chief's wife looked neat and capable, but most importantly because Yuan Zuo heard Lu Tianming calling her mother.

When the old village chief's wife took over half a bag of grain and silver, she looked around at the women looking at her and said:

"There's plenty of food here. Anyone willing to help can bring water and knead the dough. The money will be divided equally among the people."

When the women heard this, they excitedly stepped forward, took the old village chief's wife's arm and started to speak well of her.

After a while, the women brought water from each house. They didn't even have time to cook for themselves, and started doing the work to earn money.

Lu Qingqing didn't go over. After she and Qin Lang unloaded the frame, they fed the cow some space water.

I saw it drinking loudly, and soon it finished a basin of water, and then began to eat grass slowly.

For fear of being discovered by the villagers, this ox has been used to pull the cart these days.

The cow has become thinner after traveling these days.

But seeing that it was in good spirits and able to eat and drink, Lu Qingqing felt relieved.

The two of them went to prepare dinner.

Lu Qingqing took out some dried vegetables, made some soup, and heated up some pancakes.

Qin Lang also skewered two grasshoppers and added seasoning to make a side dish.

When the two of them finished eating, the women had just finished making pancakes for Yuan Zuo and started to cook their own meals.

The men knew that the women earned money, so they naturally didn't complain. Lu Tianfu even lit a fire to help heat up the pancakes.

This is quite rare in the village.

At night, it was Qin Lang's turn to be on duty, and Lu Qingqing entered the space through the carriage.

After adding more food and water to the livestock, Lu Qingqing came to the rabbit hive.

During the day, Lu Qingqing discovered that a rabbit jumped over the partition and ran into the nest of a mother rabbit with cubs.

The two rabbits started fighting and bit off a lot of each other's fur.

Fortunately, she discovered it in time and caught the rabbit without hurting the little rabbit.

Now the furry little rabbits often jump out of their nests, looking very cute.

Lu Qingqing raised the partition in the middle a lot higher to ensure that the rabbit could not jump out, and then she got out of the rabbit hole.

In the vegetable garden, the pumpkins on the pumpkin vine are ripe.

Lu Qingqing picked all the ripe pumpkins. Each pumpkin was very big, and one pumpkin was enough to eat for several meals.

Thinking about the steamed pumpkin I had eaten before, it was sticky, fragrant and sweet.

Lu Qingqing picked a big one, chopped the pumpkin into small pieces with a knife, and then steamed it in a pot.

When they were steamed, Lu Qingqing smelled the pumpkin fragrance and immediately bought six pieces.

Pour the rest into a large bowl, filling it up to the brim.

After thinking about it, he added a small dish of white sugar. Qin Lang always liked to dip pumpkin in sugar every time he ate it.

When Lu Qingqing left the space, the people around her had already gone to bed.

She was on night watch for Qin Lang and let Qin Lang enter the space through the carriage.

On the afternoon of the third day, everyone rushed to An County.

When Yuan Zuo saw the city wall of An County, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It will be fine once we get to the county town. We can ask the county government to arrange some more manpower and continue to escort the Sixth Young Master south.

Seeing that Lu Tianming and his group were still queuing up at the back, Yuan Zuo rode his horse over and asked them to follow him.

Lu Tianming and his group had originally planned to line up at the end of the team entering the city, but seeing this, they followed him.

Yuan Zuo led everyone to the soldiers guarding the city and directly showed them the token.

When the soldier saw the token, he hurriedly called his superior, who respectfully led the group into the city.

Lu Qingqing also joined the queue and didn't even have to pay the entrance fee.
