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

Lu Qingqing returned to the livestock shed and released Qin Lang from the space.

After reminding him not to tell anyone about this, the two of them returned to their respective rooms.

At this moment, someone in the room was already snoring.

Lu Qingqing climbed onto the bed quietly and began to think about what would happen tonight.

She didn't recognize the two people just now. Judging from their conversation, they should be veterans who have been working there for more than a year!

Jingou is not a place to stay for long, so we must not miss the opportunity to escape!

It is not known whether the man called Lao Si is reliable or not, but since they want to escape, he must have mastered a way to escape.

In a flash, Lu Qingqing had already decided that she must keep a close eye on the fourth brother in the next two days to see which route they would use to escape.

Before she could think about it, Zhuzi's wife next to her turned over, covered her mouth, and quietly stuffed a small cloth bag into her.

The room was dark and Lu Qingqing couldn't see the expression on Zhuzi's wife's face.

But from her actions, I knew that she was asked to keep it.

Lu Qingqing took the cloth bag that was stuffed into her hands, and felt Zhuzi's wife patting the back of her hand gently, and then she turned around and continued to sleep.

She put the cloth bag into the space and found that it also contained gold.

At this time, Zhuzi's wife was already snoring softly.

The next day, everyone got up and went to the toilet.

Zhuzi's wife looked at Lu Qingqing and wanted to say something, but she shook her head slightly, took her arm and said with a smile:

"For the past two years, it should have been me and the head of the household who took care of you and Xiaolang. Instead, you've been the ones taking care of my family. We're feeling... oh!"

Without waiting for Lu Qingqing to speak, Zhuzi's wife pulled her to a deserted place and said in a very low voice:

"Don't make excuses. If you can get this thing out, that would be great. Just consider it a token of our appreciation. If you can't, just find a place to throw it away. Just don't be a burden!"

......

Lu Qingqing was a little absent-minded while working.

Before work in the morning, she had already seen the fourth brother, who was working in the mine.

If that person escapes, it must be at night. She has to keep a close eye on him these few days.

And if those people could escape, she had to escape quickly as well.

If those people couldn't escape, then she knew it was a dead end!

Lu Qingqing was shaking the golden winnowing basket when she heard cheers of "Gold is out" coming from not far away.

The people around were a little tired because no more gold had been produced.

Hearing that money was being withdrawn again, everyone started working quickly.

On the shore, He rubbed his temples. He had been drinking with that corrupt official for most of the night before, and now he had a severe headache.

But thinking about the large amount of gold handed over yesterday afternoon, he knew that he must have come across a gold vein, and decided to come over and take another look.

At this moment, looking at the enthusiastic attitude of the people in the river, he nodded with satisfaction.

I made a lot of money yesterday afternoon. If I can keep doing this for ten days, I will be able to complete the tasks due this month!

Suddenly, He Batou felt that his headache was not so painful anymore.

He called over a few supervisors nearby and asked them to remember who got the gold.

Wait until evening and report together to see if there is anything that has not been submitted.

After giving his instructions, He looked towards the people who were washing materials in the river, and saw Lu Qingqing and her group bending over to work.

Suddenly it occurred to him that if they had just arrived at noon that day, a gold vein would have been discovered.

Could it be that this group of people just happened to bring him good luck?

Thinking of this, He Baotou hurriedly bowed towards the direction where the God of Wealth was enshrined.

Then he instructed the person who followed him.

"Go tell the kitchen to give the newcomers an extra portion of meat at noon!"

But before the man could run away, He Baotou called him back.

"Wait a minute, there are quite a lot of people here. Don't serve meat dishes, switch to vegetarian dishes for them!"

The man responded quickly and turned to go to the kitchen, still muttering to himself.

Why is this stingy guy suddenly so generous? Before, he even wanted others to treat him to a meal, let alone treat him to a meal!

Could it be that these new people have some background?

But it doesn’t make sense. How could someone with such a background be forced to mine?

The man ran to the kitchen without figuring it out, so he simply gave up thinking about it and secretly decided to be more polite to this group of people in the future.

During lunch, Lu Qingqing and her group were called out separately by the supervisor.

When they returned to the house, they saw that in addition to the multi-grain steamed buns, there was also a separate portion of vegetarian dishes on the table.

The Queen Mother was also a little confused and just said that it was the supervisor who came and asked for the extra dishes.

Everyone was confused, but the dish on the table was added with oil, so it smelled very fragrant.

The women ran to get chopsticks and said, "You pick up one chopstick, and I pick up another."

Soon, the dishes were all gone, and even the soup in the dishes was eaten by people dipping the steamed buns in it.

When the Queen Mother brought the plates back to the kitchen, they had all been wiped so clean that even a fly would slip on them, so they didn't even need to be washed.

After lunch, everyone returned to the river, where everyone else had already started working.

But the supervisors did not yell at them as harshly as before, and their attitude was much better than before.

No one knew what was going on, but seeing the others rushing to scoop up the ingredients, they also sped up their work.

In the afternoon, Lu Qingqing was working when she heard a fight breaking out at the place where materials were being scooped on the shore.

It was Tian Fu Niang and Shi Xiu Er who were fighting with four or five strange women, while little Shi Tou was sitting on the ground crying loudly.

When the other women in Lu Qingqing's team saw their family members being bullied, they also rushed forward to help.

In an instant, the place where the ingredients were scooped became a mess.

The women either pulled the man's hair or slapped him, their hands never stopping and their mouths cursing.

Seeing this, the supervisors were afraid that they would be seen by He Baotou and punished, so they rushed over with whips.

Seeing that the fighting was still going on above, Lu Qingqing shouted "The supervisor is coming" and dragged a few women she was on good terms with back to the river.

Soon, several supervisors came running over, and without caring who they were, they picked up whips and started beating the fighting women until they screamed.

Soon, seeing the fighting women stop, one of the supervisors cursed with a cold face:

"You're a bunch of brainless people! Who told you to fight here? If Chief He sees you, you'll be punished!"

The supervisor didn't ask how the incident started. When he saw that the women had calmed down, he pointed to a few wooden racks not far away and said:

"See that row of wooden racks? If you cause trouble again, I'll tie you up there. Anyone who goes up there will be skinned alive!"

The women looked in the direction he pointed and shuddered when they saw the tall wooden racks.

When the supervisor saw that the women had calmed down, he looked towards the house where He Baotou lived not far away, and was relieved when he saw that he did not come out.

After this incident, the supervisors no longer went back to rest under the tree, but walked around the shore with whips in their hands.

The women who were beaten didn't even dare to cry out in pain, and they endured the pain and continued to work.

It was not until dinner that Lu Qingqing figured out what was going on.

It turned out that when Tian Funiang was scooping materials, she found a small grain of gold and wanted to occupy all the soil in that area.

Unexpectedly, she discovered gold grains, and several other women also saw them.

The two sides couldn't even exchange a few words before they started fighting.

Fortunately, no one was seriously injured, only red marks were left where the whip had hit them.

At night, after everyone had gone to bed, Lu Qingqing quietly got up, went to a place not far from the fourth brother's house, and began to follow him.
