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

Lu Qingqing tugged at the corner of Qin Lang's clothes and gradually slowed down her pace.

After a while, he fell to the back of the team and quietly took out the water bag that had just been filled with space water.

After giving Qin Lang a big sip, he also took a big gulp of water. As soon as the cool and sweet water entered his mouth, he felt comfortable all over.

At noon when the sun was at its hottest, the village chief arranged for everyone to rest, this time for an hour.

The villagers took the dry food they brought with them and started eating.

Lu Qingqing also took out the coarse grain steamed bread that Grandma Qin had brought her from the empty bucket, and stuffed a cucumber strip with pickles into the steamed bread.

When Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang were eating, they saw that the Lu family members not far away had also taken out dry food, which was steamed bread made of wild vegetables and wheat bran.

Seeing the Lu family members choking while eating, Lu Qingqing pulled Qin Lang to the corner and signaled Qin Lang to eat quickly.

Even so, I still couldn't escape.

Mrs. Lu Li came over quietly and looked at the whole grain steamed bread the two of them were eating, swallowing her saliva.

She stretched out her hand and asked Qin Lang and Lu Qingqing to give her two steamed buns. Seeing that they ignored her, she was about to rummage through the bag.

Qin Lang quickly picked up the bucket containing the bundle and placed it behind him, looking at Lu Li with a vigilant look.

Seeing that Mrs. Lu was still about to shout, Lu Qingqing lowered her voice and said:

"If you don't want grandpa and grandma to know that you're secretly supporting your parents, then go back quietly and don't bother me again."

"Otherwise, I can't make a living here. We are one family, so I'm sure my mother won't have an easy life either."

Mrs. Lu Li couldn't help but curse the girl in her heart as an ungrateful person. She didn't know when she had seen it.

In this day and age, if she were divorced, her parents would definitely not be able to support her.

After thinking about it, he didn't dare to make a fuss and went back quietly.

In fact, Lu Qingqing was deceiving her. She had seen Lu Li acting suspiciously while making breakfast before, so she guessed that she might have hidden some food.

According to Mrs. Lu Li's personality, she would immediately take food home to Li Jinbao as soon as she had it, which led to this speculation.

In fact, Lu Qingqing is still worried that Lu Li will make a fuss. People in this era value filial piety.

If Lu Li insisted on asking her for steamed bread, and Lu Qingqing refused to give it to her, she might be criticized by the villagers and would be ostracized by them in the future.

Fortunately, this time it was only Lu Li who came to cause trouble. If the disaster becomes more serious in the future, I am worried that Old Man Lu will come to cause trouble. He is not as easy to fool as Lu Li.

Qin Lang beside him looked a little nervous, and one hand unconsciously rubbed the teething stick.

Lu Qingqing didn't think any more about it and hurriedly comforted him softly.

Every time Qin Lang gets nervous, he will unconsciously rub this teething stick.

After a while, Qin Lang finally relaxed. After dinner, the two lay down to rest.

We set out in the afternoon and walked until the evening without encountering any problems.

After it got dark, the village chief led everyone to find a place to stay and arranged for people to take turns to keep watch.

In the middle of the night, when everyone was sleeping soundly, they heard the two men on duty screaming that there were wolves, lots of wolves.

Everyone who was awakened quickly got up and took out their weapons to protect themselves.

Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang brought a hatchet and a hoe.

Under the dim moonlight, you can vaguely see a pack of wolves in the distance.

The crowd and the wolves were in a tense standoff. At this time, a man in the village unconsciously took two steps back.

Seeing that they were in the front, the others also wanted to retreat.

Before the villagers could react, the wolf king let out a long roar and the wolves began to attack the villagers.

When a group of people with no combat experience face a pack of wolves, most of them would think of hiding behind.

But as more and more people in the village were dragged away by wolves and died, everyone became more and more panicked.

The village chief could only shout:

"If we don't fight together, we'll all be killed by wolves sooner or later. Gentlemen, pick up your weapons and beat these beasts to death like dogs. Then we can all eat the meat together."

I don’t know whether the village chief’s words worked or he was afraid of being dragged away by the wolf and killed.

At this time, the villagers began to gather in groups of three or four. Once a wolf rushed up, the people in the group would take hoes and other tools to hit the wolf's head and waist.

This approach really worked. Three wolves were killed and many were injured. However, the number of wolves in the pack was still smaller than that of people.

When they were resting before, Lu Qingqing and the other person were a little further away from the crowd. Now the wolves saw that they were alone, and they kept rushing towards them.

Fortunately, Qin Lang was strong and methodical. He swung the hoe several times in a row and hit the wolf on the waist. The wolf whimpered in pain and ran away.

Of course, many villagers were bitten, but no one was dragged away.

The wolf king soon discovered this situation and divided the wolf pack.

A large number of wolves rushed to the area with fewer people, while a small number of wolves harassed the villagers on the other side, making the villagers afraid to come to support.

When Lu Qingqing saw the changes in the wolf pack and saw more and more wild wolves rushing towards this side, she decisively pulled Qin Lang up and ran a few steps to squeeze into the group of villagers next to her.

Looking at the wild wolves that kept attacking the crowd in front of her, once they bit, they would definitely tear off a piece of flesh. The bloody appearance made Lu Qingqing panic.

There was no way for so many people to hide in the space. But she had to stay alive and not be dragged away by the wolves.

Wolves are cunning creatures and will pick on the old and weak among the people.

Unfortunately, in their eyes, Lu Qingqing is considered weak.

Under the cover of one wolf, another big blue-gray wolf bit towards Lu Qingqing.

Lu Qingqing had just used her hatchet to chop the belly of the previous wolf, and before she could withdraw the hatchet, she saw this wolf coming towards her with its mouth wide open.

Just when Lu Qingqing was about to be bitten, the hoe in Qin Lang's hand blocked the wolf's mouth.

Lu Qingqing turned her head and saw that the wolf that had originally attacked Qin Lang suddenly bit Qin Lang's calf.

Qin Lang was dragged down by the wolf.

Seeing Qin Lang being dragged away by the wolf, Lu Qingqing didn't care about anything else. She chased after him with a hatchet in hand and chopped the wolf's neck that was biting Qin Lang's leg.

Perhaps it was a critical moment, Lu Qingqing burst out with strength and cut the wolf's neck in half.

Lu Qingqing quickly stepped forward, pulled out the hatchet, pulled away the wolf's head, helped Qin Lang up, and ran a few steps back to the crowd.

The wolves continued to attack, and two people in the middle were bitten one after another. Fortunately, the wounds were not serious.

As time passed, both sides in the fight were exhausted.

Finally, at the roar of the wolf king, the wolves retreated.

After counting the number of people, the village chief found that there were four villagers missing: a man, an old man, and two women.

The bodies were dragged away by the wolves.

As for the dead wolves, they were afraid that the wolf meat would spoil easily in the hot weather, so they roasted it directly over the fire and then divided the meat.

Some extra was given to the families of those four, and the rest of the people also received some.

Lu Qingqing took the wolf meat in her hand and gave it to Qin Lang as a snack.

This time, most of the villagers were injured.

Lu Qingqing was also helping Qin Lang treat the wound on his leg, which was a little torn due to the dragging.

After cleaning Qin Lang's wound with water, Lu Qingqing tore a piece of clean cloth from her inner clothes and bandaged the wound. When she saw that the bleeding had stopped, she felt a little relieved.

Because of nervousness and fear, Lu Qingqing's hands were still shaking slightly.

After seeing this, Qin Lang handed the teething stick around his neck to Lu Qingqing, asking her to touch it so she wouldn't be nervous.

Lu Qingqing looked at the boy in front of her, and her heart softened.

When he first arrived at the Qin family, Qin Lang didn't let anyone touch his teething stick.

This was made by Grandpa Qin for him when he was a child.

Lu Qingqing felt that Qin Lang had some kind of Abebe complex about this teething stick.

Later, when Grandpa Qin passed away, little Qin Lang would rub his grandfather with a teething stick whenever he missed him.

Gradually, whenever Qin Lang was nervous, he needed to touch the teething stick to feel at ease.

Teething sticks are very important to Qin Lang, who has a low IQ!

Now, looking at the small teething stick handed to her, Lu Qingqing wiped her hands on her clothes before gently touching it, as if she was no longer panicked or afraid.

Seeing Qin Lang gasping in pain due to bandaging his wound, Lu Qingqing felt distressed and moved.

The boy in front of me has a childish face, but he is already a man.

This time she owed Qin Lang a life. No matter what, she would try her best to protect Qin Lang and Grandma Qin in the future.

It was too late, so the village chief reassigned the uninjured people to keep watch, while the others went to sleep one after another.

We set off early the next morning and arrived soon.

A thin stream of water continuously flowed from the cliff into the bay below. When everyone saw the water source, they rushed over and lay down by the bay to drink heartily.

Lu Qingqing noticed that there were many animal paw prints by the bay, with wolf paw prints being the most numerous.

It can be seen that this place may be near the wolf gathering place.
