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

At this moment, Lu Tianming shouted for a break, and everyone sat down on the ground.

After a long while, someone came over with a bucket to fetch water for cooking.

Qin Lang also went over with a bucket. When he used a ladle to scoop water, he found some small fish hiding in the water plants by the river.

Qin Lang excitedly greeted Lu Qingqing:

"Da Ya, come and see, there are little fish in the river!"

The shouts attracted the children in the team, and even a few teenagers ran over to watch.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingqing also ran over and saw that the river water was very clear, and there were many small fish fry hiding in the water plants by the river.

This small fish is the most common in the river. It usually does not grow big and cannot be eaten if caught.

Seeing Qin Lang staring at the fish intently, Lu Qingqing blocked it from behind with a bucket and slowly pushed it over from the front with a scoop.

When I lifted the bucket up, I saw a few small fish fry in it.

Qin Lang happily squatted beside the bucket and watched the fish, surrounded by a group of children.

When Erxi's puppy saw it, he also started to make a fuss for the fish.

Erxi was so tired that he didn't want to move at all.

Xiaogouzi is smart. He knows that his grandfather loves him the most, so he runs to Zhuzi's father and acts like a spoiled child.

Zhuzi's father couldn't stand his grandson's coquettishness, so he took the bucket and scoop from home and started looking along the river.

Qin Lang admired the little fish for a while, then put down the bucket and prepared to cook and eat.

We have been traveling in a hurry these days and have been eating dry food. We haven't had a proper meal with soup.

Qin Lang was thinking of getting a bucket to fill it with water when he saw a few children gathered around the bucket, looking at the little fish curiously.

"If you like, bring something from home to hold the fish, and I'll share these small fish with you."

Upon hearing this, the children quickly ran back to their respective carts and asked the adults for things to pack the fish.

The children have also suffered a lot these days as they have fled the famine.

Seeing that the children were happy, the adults did not spoil the fun and either took out a bowl or found a clay pot for the children.

Qin Lang distributed the small fish in the wooden barrel to several children. After seeing them running away with the small fish, he turned to Lu Qingqing and said:

"Daya, I want to drink porridge."

Lu Qingqing smiled and nodded, "Okay, then we'll make porridge for lunch this afternoon."

The two men filled the bucket with water and before they returned to the carriage, they heard the puppy's frightened scream not far away.

Zhuzi's father ran back with the puppy in his arms, shouting:

"There's a dead person, there's a dead person by the river!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Tianming walked over quickly.

Everyone followed and saw a dead body floating on a bubble lying by the river.

This person must have been soaking in water for a long time, and the weather was hot, so his whole body was rotten and swollen beyond recognition.

The corpse had become gigantic and looked extremely terrifying.

Lu Qingqing reacted quickly and shouted:

"Everyone, retreat quickly and stay away from the corpse!"

Lu Tianming also reacted, turned around and ran back, calling on everyone to retreat as he ran.

There were a few people in the crowd who didn't wear scarves. Their faces changed drastically and they hurriedly ran towards their own carts.

Every second he stayed would increase the danger, so Lu Tianming decided to set off immediately.

There were a few quick-acting people in the team who had already set up firewood to cook.

Now looking at the porridge still cooking in the pot, he begged:

"The porridge is already cooking, why don't we eat first?"

Before Lu Tianming could speak, someone on the side started cursing:

"You dare drink porridge cooked with water soaked with corpses?"

When the man heard this, his face changed drastically after he realized what was happening.

He didn't even care about the rice porridge inside and poured it out along with the water.

He rinsed the pot with water from the car before putting it back in the car.

Fortunately, no one in the team had filled their bathtubs at home with water yet, otherwise they would have had to pour it all out.

Everyone quickly packed up their luggage and set off again.

Behind them, Master Yan and his companions had already packed their luggage and continued their journey with Lu Tianming and his group.

When he heard the shouting before, Master Yan also went to see the body.

When the body was discovered, it was already floating on the shore. Judging from the degree of swelling, the body had been soaked for a long time.

After all, he was brave enough to look closely at the corpse that had already become a giant.

There were no obvious injuries on the body, so he must have died of drowning or illness.

The direction of this stream is from northwest to southeast, and the southeast is estimated to be within the earthquake range.

If this body had floated down from the direction of the earthquake, it would have been really dangerous.

Thinking of this, Master Yan asked everyone in the team again and made sure that they were not fetching water from the river, and only then did he feel a little relieved.

What everyone didn't know was that there were many more bodies floating on the shore upstream of that body.

The corpse just now frightened everyone in the team, and they continued on their journey under the scorching sun.

The weather was extremely hot and everyone was in a hurry, so their clothes were soaked with sweat.

Even the water in the water bag on my back was heated by the sun.

When you are thirsty, drink some hot water and you will feel warmer.

Lu Qingqing's inner clothes were soaked and stuck to her body, making her feel uncomfortable.

She thought of getting into the carriage to get some cool space water to drink, but once she entered the carriage, it felt like she was entering a steamer.

All the pores on his body opened and sweat came out.

Although it's hot outside, at least there is a breeze, which can relieve the heat a little.

The carriage was really too stuffy, so Lu Qingqing took some water and quickly left the space.

Take out the water bag filled with cold water and take a sip. The cool space water enters the mouth and goes down the esophagus.

After dispelling some of the heat, Lu Qingqing took a few more gulps before handing the water bag to Qin Lang.

Lu Qingqing looked ahead and saw that Lu Tianming and the women of the Yao family had also left the carriage. They probably couldn't stand the high temperature either.

A heat wave blew towards me, and the air in front of me was distorted by the heat.

Everyone in the team had their faces sunburned, but now they were relying on their perseverance to keep moving forward.

The corpses behind were like a sword hanging over everyone's head. If a plague broke out, no one could escape.

Afterwards, Master Yan straightened his wife's hat and felt sorry for her when he saw her face flushed from the heat.

She took out the water bag and handed it to her. Madam Yan took a small sip and handed it back to him, motioning him to drink some as well.

Master Yan refused to drink it, as the water he brought with him was limited.

The corpses he had encountered before made him afraid to replenish his water easily, so it was better to save some.

Whenever he encountered villages or refugees on the road, Lu Tianming tried his best to avoid them.

Some children in the team couldn't stand the heat and pulled off their scarves to get some fresh air.

When the adults found out, they would be scolded. The stern attitude of the adults made the children afraid to make a fuss and they just wore their scarves obediently.

It was not until it was completely dark and the road ahead was no longer visible that Lu Tianming found a place away from the crowd to stop.

After the sun went down, the temperature dropped a lot, but the ground was still warm.

After stopping, the man pushing the cart lay on the ground exhausted.

Feeling the warmth from the ground, some people wanted to rest for a while, but unexpectedly they fell asleep very quickly.
