The end of natural disasters: the daily life of child brides in ancient times
Chapter 144 Let’s start again
The group continued walking towards the city gate, often encountering trees blocking the road. If the smaller ones could be moved, everyone would work together to move them away.
If you can't move, take a detour.
When she reached the city wall, Lu Qingqing discovered that the wall had also collapsed. Now there was no need to look for an exit, as there were exits everywhere.
They found a place with fewer bricks and stones, and everyone worked together to clear the bricks and stones, making the space wide enough for a cart to pass through.
At this time, a voice came from behind.
Lu Qingqing looked back and saw that it was someone she knew. The man driving in the front was Master Yan, whom she had met a few days ago.
Master Yan seemed to recognize them, and he stared at Qin Lang up and down for a few times.
Seeing that the people from Lujia Village were clearing bricks and stones, he called out to the men behind him to get out of the car and help.
After clearing the road, Lu Tianming took the lead and started walking out.
Master Yan saw Qin Lang looking at him, nodded at him and returned to the carriage.
In the carriage, a woman was waiting for him with the curtain lifted.
Lu Qingqing looked at Master Yan's team, which had a total of five carriages.
When they came over to clean the bricks and stones just now, those men looked very strong and robust, probably martial artists as well.
Before she could think about it, Qin Lang was already calling her to get in the car, and Lu Qingqing walked quickly towards the ox cart.
After leaving the city, the whole way was devastated.
All the villages we encountered had collapsed into ruins, with only a few villagers still walking around.
Most of the survivors were crying and digging for help. The scene was very desolate.
The most serious one was a crack that directly split a village in two.
The crack is so wide that I wonder how many houses and the people inside them have been swallowed up.
The crack has not closed. I can’t imagine how desperate they would be if there were any living people in the houses in the middle of the crack.
In this world, the government does not have the ability to carry out post-disaster rescue.
Moreover, this sudden change in situation was so terrifying that the government might not even be able to protect itself.
By noon, more and more people were fleeing on the road.
Lu Qingqing even saw someone carrying a bloody pig in a basket on his back.
During the lunch break, Lu Tianming deliberately chose a flat and wide area for fear of aftershocks.
Because they hardly slept last night, Lu Tianming asked everyone to rest for two hours at noon and catch up on their sleep before setting off again.
The temperature was still quite high at that time. After everyone stopped, they didn't even heat up the pancakes. After eating, they lay down to rest.
While eating, Lu Qingqing looked at the surrounding situation and saw that Master Yan and his group had stopped to rest not far behind.
When Master Yan saw her looking at him, he nodded at her, and the woman next to him smiled at her in a friendly manner.
This morning, Master Yan and his group followed closely behind Lu Tianming and his group.
Lu Tianming became alert and noticed that their team was composed of strong men, so he specifically reminded the few people at the end of the team to be careful.
It was not until the lunch break that Lu Tianming felt relieved after seeing what they were eating.
After sleeping for two hours, Lu Qingqing felt a headache.
I didn't feel it when I wasn't asleep, but it was particularly uncomfortable to be woken up after sleeping for two hours.
While traveling in the afternoon, Lu Qingqing looked at the corpses dug out from the villages on the roadside, and a sense of crisis surged in her heart.
The weather is too hot now. If these bodies are not buried, they will easily rot and deteriorate.
Thinking of the corpses in the ruins, Lu Qingqing's heart was filled with alarm.
This temperature is very prone to breeding bacteria. If it causes a plague, then...
The more Lu Qingqing thought about it, the more anxious she became. She went to the front of the team to find Lu Tianming and told him what had happened.
Upon hearing this, Lu Tianming's face was also filled with worry.
It was unknown how many miles the earthquake stretched across, and the longer they stayed in the disaster area, the more dangerous it would be.
Once a plague occurs, the consequences will be unimaginable.
In ancient times, plague was a harvester of lives, and ordinary people had no chance of getting treatment.
He knew more than Lu Qingqing. Every time a plague broke out, a large number of people died.
Moreover, once the area was designated as an epidemic area by the imperial court, they couldn't even escape.
By then, the plague will be rampant and I'm afraid I can only wait for death!
Thinking of this, Lu Tianming shuddered all over. He called the team to a halt and said loudly:
"With the current temperature, if the bodies aren't handled properly, it could easily lead to an epidemic!"
When everyone in the team heard about the plague, they all showed panic on their faces. Even the children of a few years old knew how serious the plague was.
In their minds, the word plague is almost synonymous with the Black and White Impermanence.
The team immediately became chaotic. Lu Tianming stopped everyone's discussion and said loudly:
"Just in case, everyone, bring your scarves. Also, everyone, hurry up and let's try to get out of here as soon as possible!"
Master Yan at the back also heard Lu Tianming's words and asked everyone in the team to wear scarves.
Lu Tianming and his group sped up their journey and did not stop until it was completely dark.
After Lu Tianming stopped, he couldn't help but feel anxious.
Now that the official road has experienced a landslide, the road surface is bumpy and uneven.
In addition to trees blocking the road, we have also encountered cracks in the road.
If it weren't for this, he would have wished he couldn't stop at night.
On the morning of the third day, they came across a town on their way. Finally, the houses in the town were not all collapsed like the ones they had encountered before.
Only a few houses collapsed in the town, but the situation was not much better.
Many refugees gathered in the town, their clothes ragged and their bodies covered in blood and dirt.
The refugees looted the town for any edible food and water.
When Lu Qingqing and her group arrived, they encountered a group of refugees smashing the door of an inn.
The door must have been blocked by tables and chairs, but the refugees were so numerous that they forcibly pulled the door down.
The tables and chairs at the back were pushed open, and soon the mixed cries of men and women were heard from the store.
Seeing this situation, Lu Tianming ordered the team to quickly leave the town.
Because their car was loaded with a lot of things, several refugees targeted their car.
Lu Tianming was the first to draw the big knife from his waist, and the people in the team also took out their weapons.
The cold light of the sword and the ferocious expressions of the people in the team scared the refugees so much that they quickly looked away.
Fortunately, Lu Tianming and his team arrived at the right time. The largest group of refugees yesterday broke into the grain store, looted the food and ran away.
There were only thirty or forty refugees who robbed the inn today, and the rest who did not go to rob were not only timid, but also even fewer in number.
On the way, these refugees did not dare to attack Master Yan and his group behind them, as Master Yan's martial arts team often followed them to escort the caravan.
Almost everyone has blood on their bodies, and when they stand there, their aura is different from that of ordinary people.
Lu Tianming and his group quickly left the town. The earthquake seemed to be limited to the town, and there was no large-scale collapse in the villages behind it.
But there are still a few collapsed houses in the village, and there is even a funeral going on in the village at this moment.
The team encountered a small river at noon, and Lu Tianming actually asked the team to stop and rest.
You have to know that they have been traveling almost non-stop these days. As soon as the sky gets light, everyone sets off and does not stop until they can no longer see anything.
At this moment, Lu Tianming shouted for a break, and everyone sat down on the ground.
It took a long time before someone came over with a bucket to replenish the water supply.
