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

He Baotou ignored them and said when everyone was gathered:

"These two knew that Lin Lao Si was going to escape, but they concealed the news and refused to report it!"

As he spoke, he looked at the crowd of onlookers.

"This behavior not only harms those who want to transport gold abroad, but also harms themselves!"

He Baotou snorted coldly and continued:

"I told you all on the first day you all arrived that no one is allowed to transport gold out of this ditch!"

"But there are always people who turn a deaf ear to my words, hoping for the best and thinking they will be the special case!"

"Let me tell you, within the radius of dozens of miles of Jingou, all the roads, big and small, are completely blocked by officials!"

"Those who want to transport gold out of the country are simply old people who have had enough of life and are looking for death!"

As He Baotou spoke, he waved to the supervisors below, and they started smoking with their arms raised.

The sound of the whip hitting flesh mixed with the screams of the two men made the onlookers tremble with fear.

He looked at the whip gradually getting bloody. After a while, the screams of the two men became quieter. Then he said to the crowd:

"These two concealed the truth and refused to report it. Each of them will be lashed with fifty lashes. Whether they survive or not, I will not pursue this matter any further!"

When everyone heard the number fifty lashes, they all gasped.

After fifty lashes, his skin and flesh would be torn apart. How could he survive?

He turned his head and looked at the fearful expressions of the crowd, with a smile on his face.

"Today, I found these two people, so they might still have a chance to survive. If they were caught by the police, not to mention survival, even death would be a pain in the ass!"

"You saw those bodies on the riverbank. There wasn't a single piece of skin left on them. Let me tell you, those people were tortured by the officers all night, and only died at dawn!"

"Think about it, if you were caught, could you endure the torture?"

At this moment, both men on the wooden rack had fainted, and the only sound they could hear was the dull sound of the whip hitting their flesh.

Some people in the crowd were already trembling with fear.

"I know that many of you still have hidden gold and haven't handed it over! Today, I'm giving you a chance. No matter how much, as long as you hand it over, I will forgive you!"

"If anyone dares to hide it or wants to escape, don't blame me for not caring about the affection we've had for each other over the past year!"

As He Baotou spoke, the smile on his face suddenly turned sinister and looked particularly terrifying.

Lu Qingqing looked at He Baotou, who seemed to be schizophrenic, and held Qin Lang's hand tightly.

At this time, the sound of the whip also stopped.

The overseers put away their whips, stepped forward, took a snort, and reported loudly:

"Boss He, these two are out of breath!"

He Baotou didn't care at all and waved his hand:

"If that's the case, they're just unlucky. Let's bury them with those five people!"

As he spoke, He turned his head and looked at everyone.

"I'll be waiting for you at the counter all day today. If I find out you're hiding gold after today, you'll end up like these two!"

After saying that, He turned around and walked towards his house.

When the supervisors saw that He Baotou had left, they ordered a few men to dig a hole in the cemetery.

Seven more small graves were added to the overgrown cemetery.

This time the commotion was so severe that everyone was worried about getting into trouble, and no one even burned paper for them anymore.

After several people were buried, it was almost lunchtime, and most of the people rushed to He Baotou's house.

Zhuzi's wife approached Lu Qingqing and said in a low voice:

"I'm planning to pay some too. We're the ones washing the materials, so if we don't pay anything it's too obvious. You should pay some too!"

Lu Qingqing nodded and went to He Baotou's house with Zhuzi's wife.

At this time, there was already a long line outside the house, and people were coming in from time to time.

In front of Zhuzi's wife was Chuntao, the first person to dig out gold that day.

Today, she came with her daughter.

The little girl was about five or six years old and was timidly looking at them.

Lu Qingqing felt her gaze and when she looked back, she saw the little girl hiding behind her mother. She was a shy little girl.

The team moved very quickly, and soon it was Chuntao's turn.

Lu Qingqing saw her take out a small cloth bag, which contained a handful of gold particles.

When He Baotou saw so many gold grains, he glanced at Chuntao and then took out two taels of silver and handed it to her.

Chuntao carefully put the silver into her arms, then walked out with her brows lowered.

Then it was Zhuzi's wife and Lu Qingqing's turn. They both paid very little and received some copper coins.

Just as she was about to go back to eat, she saw two men pulling Chuntao's sleeves and touching her from time to time.

Chuntao was concerned about the child in her arms and wanted to avoid the two of them.

As I got closer, I heard one of the men say:

"Don't pretend to be a chaste woman here. Have you forgotten how you begged us brothers before, you stinky bitch? Why are you pretending?"

The man cursed and dragged Chuntao to the nearby woods.

At this time, the little girl who was protected in Chuntao's arms was also pushed to the ground.

The whole person fell out and the skin on her arm was broken. The little girl cried and tried to save her mother.

When Zhuzi's wife saw this, she immediately thought of her deceased daughter Erni.

She took two or three steps forward and pushed one of the men away.

The man was caught off guard and was pushed to the ground.

When he turned around and saw that it was a woman, he became furious.

The man raised his hand and wanted to hit Zhuzi's wife.

After all, Zhuzi's wife had practiced with Master Yan and had seen blood on her hands, so she avoided the first two attacks.

But without weapons in hand, he is not as strong as a man.

Seeing that the slap was about to hit her face, Zhuzi's wife was already prepared to take it.

But the slap did not come for a long time. When he looked up again, he saw Lu Qingqing rushing towards him.

He kicked the man in the crotch with a kick, and there was a shrill scream. The man fell down, covering his crotch.

Seeing that Lu Qingqing, a little girl, dared to hit others, the other man let go of Chuntao and rushed towards her.

There are always some men who bully the weak and fear the strong, and think that women are easy to bully.

For this kind of scum, Lu Qingqing didn't need to talk to him about martial ethics, and directly used the three-piece set of tricks that were most effective.

Kicks to the crotch, eye pokes, and throat chokes.

But when the second man rushed over, he learned from the first man's lesson and covered his crotch with one hand.

Seeing this, Lu Qingqing moved flexibly to avoid the man's arm and hid behind him.

A kick to the butt made the man fall to the ground.

Seeing that he was no longer protecting his crotch, Lu Qingqing kicked him in the crotch.

Okay, now the two people on the ground are moving in unison, and it looks much more harmonious.

Chuntao looked at Lu Qingqing in shock. This girl was so fierce that she knocked down two men, Cui Da and Cui Er, in just a few moves!

Although the position I kicked in is a little hard to describe, it really works!

On the ground, the little girl who was originally crying stopped crying and looked at Lu Qingqing with admiration, her eyes sparkling.

When Lu Qingqing saw that one of the men on the ground seemed to have recovered a little and was about to step forward and kick him again, she saw Qin Lang and several fellow disciples running towards them with nervous faces.

Several people looked Lu Qingqing up and down, and only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that she was not injured.

Qin Lang held Lu Qingqing's hand and said nervously:

"Luckily you weren't hurt. Aunt Cui just said she saw a man bullying you, so I called my brothers over!"

Li Rui and several of his fellow brothers surrounded the two people on the ground and saw that their postures were a little strange.

After taking a closer look at the places where the two people were covering their hands, he reacted instantly.

I silently mourned for the two people on the ground for a moment. It hurts just thinking about how painful it would be to get kicked in that spot by my junior sister!

The few people who originally wanted to vent their anger on behalf of their junior sister withdrew their feet that were about to kick the two people.

Qu Hong shook his head vigorously, getting rid of the image of the junior sister who violently lifted her crotch in his mind, and replaced it with the original image of the junior sister who was well-behaved and sensible.

Then, he didn't dare to look at Lu Qingqing again. He was afraid that after seeing too many violent junior sisters, his image would never be changed again.

Thinking of this, Qu Hong turned around and planned to go back to the house to eat.

I was in such a hurry just now that I didn’t even take the steamed buns with me. I hope they won’t be snatched away when I get back.
