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

In the river, the women who were still searching all looked over.

Chuntao looked at the small cloth bag in her daughter's little hand, which was exactly hers.

He ran over in two steps, opened the cloth bag and took a look. Inside were the gold particles he had found.

She hugged her daughter excitedly, her heart filled with joy of regaining what she had lost.

After seeing Chuntao's actions, the women gathered around and started digging in the pile of soil.

Soon, everyone found their lost small cloth bag.

Chuntao held her daughter in her arms and kept thanking Lu Qingqing. The other women also thanked her.

On the other side, the man who was being watched by several women saw his hidden cloth bag being searched out, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

At this time, the little girl hid behind her mother, pointed at the man, and said timidly:

"Mom, that guy is so fierce, he's glaring at my powerful sister!"

The women looked over and saw that it was that man, and they immediately became angry.

"You three-handed thief, you still dare to glare at that girl? Try glaring at someone else again."

One of the women was quite tall and she rushed towards the man while cursing. She pushed the man and made him stagger.

The man didn't expect her to be so aggressive and actually attack him directly. He was a little confused for a moment.

When he reacted and was about to fight back, he recognized the woman.

I couldn't help but curse in my heart, what bad luck!

This woman has five men working in Jingou, all of them are strong.

If I hit him, I'm afraid I'll be retaliated against.

In fact, he had no intention of stealing the woman's cloth bag before, but the place she hung it was too easy to steal!

My hands were itching and I couldn't help but pick it.

Looking at the women who gathered around him, the man retreated while shouting:

"What are you doing? There are bosses and officials here, you can't do it yourself!"

Then he continued:

"Your cloth bag might have been dropped there accidentally. Why are you accusing me of this?"

The women were cursing at the same time and didn't listen to what he said at all.

Seeing that the man was about to run away, a woman with quick hands and feet rushed forward and grabbed one of his arms.

The other women rushed forward and pinned the man to the ground.

You punched me and I kicked you, and it took a long time before I felt relieved.

When they stopped, the man had been beaten black and blue.

The women nodded to Lu Qingqing and escorted the man to find the supervisor.

Seeing that the matter was resolved, Zhuzi's wife and Aunt Lu took Lu Qingqing back to the house.

I don’t know how the supervisor handled it, but in the afternoon the man appeared in the river again panning for gold.

However, this time it was fixed in a more remote location.

When the man was scooping the materials, people around him looked at him warily whenever they walked by.

If you meet someone with a bad temper, you may even drive him away directly.

After two or three times, the man went around the river bank to scoop the feed.

And every time he passed by Lu Qingqing, he couldn't help but glare at her.

Not only did the women beat him today, but he was also beaten again after being handed over to the supervisor at noon. He was now in great pain all over his body.

The man secretly swore in his heart that when he got better, he would teach this little girl a lesson!

Since Lu Qingqing started practicing martial arts, her five senses have become very sharp.

She had noticed it the first time the man glared at her.

He glared at her again and again, probably because he hated her because of what happened in the morning.

When she raised her eyes, she met the man's fierce gaze.

Lu Qingqing just glanced at him and then lowered her head to work again.

She hasn't collected any corpses in her space for a long time. If this person dares to take action, she will send him into the space to be reincarnated.

He lowered his head and continued to shake the golden dustpan in his hand, waiting for the mud to dissipate with the water, revealing a handful of gold particles underneath.

It seems that this batch of soil has a high gold yield!

Lu Qingqing quickly collected the gold particles and ran towards the shore where the materials were being scooped.

The man had just scooped up the ingredients and hadn't even left when he saw Lu Qingqing running over.

A hint of resentment flashed in his eyes, but seeing that the supervisors were still sitting under a tree not far away, he had to turn around and leave.

Lu Qingqing ignored him and ran straight to the pile of soil.

By shoveling soil into the golden winnowing basket, he collected a lot more into the space.

Not long after, a woman in the river discovered that this batch of soil produced a lot of gold, and people sped up their work.

Before leaving work in the evening, the women who had thrown away the cloth bags came over one by one, and each of them quietly put a handful of gold particles in Lu Qingqing's hand.

Fearing that they would be discovered by others, the women didn't say a word, just stuffed their food in and turned around and left.

By the time work was over, the small box containing the gold particles in Lu Qingqing's space was already full.

The golden color in the box is really pleasing.

As expected, no matter what era, the Chinese have always loved gold!

Early the next morning, before going to work, Lu Tianming called Lu Qingqing into their house.

"Last night, Shuhe followed Erxi and saw him enter the back door of the tavern. He stayed inside for most of the night. When he came out, Shuhe caught him and asked him about the whole thing!"

As he spoke, Lu Tianming's face became stern.

"Erxi has already told the tavern owner the identities of everyone in the team!"

Lu Qingqing's heart suddenly jumped, and then she heard Lu Tianming continue:

"That lady boss must be the police's spy. The surveillance a few days ago must be because of this. I just don't know why they didn't take action."

At this moment, someone in the room took a breath and asked in a low voice:

"Will they still take action?"

"It's hard to say, but even if we don't take action now, I'm afraid they will take action sooner or later. They won't allow us to escape from Jingou!"

As Lu Tianming spoke, his brows furrowed again.

After hearing this, Lu Shuyi said angrily:

"This idiot! He's really going to get us killed!"

Lu Qingqing lowered her head and thought about a way out. She was afraid that it was similar to what Uncle Tianming said.

We have to find a way out as soon as possible before they take action!

After a few whispers, everyone went back to work.

During these two days, people came secretly from time to time to buy or borrow gold. These people were the ones who had hidden the gold that day.

Because the time is almost up, there are still several people who haven’t made the full number.

Everyone in Lu Qingqing's team refused. After all, it was against the rules, and no one knew whether He Baotou would take the opportunity to punish them.

As the day for handing in the gold drew closer, those who hadn't collected enough gold began to think of various ways, such as borrowing, stealing, robbing, or threatening, and the atmosphere in the entire team became increasingly tense.

After a woman was robbed when she went to the toilet alone, all the people in Donggou would go to the toilet together.

That night, Lu Qingqing drank too much water and got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet.

When I left the house, I was worried that I would be robbed.

As I was walking, I saw a figure walking towards the east with its body crouched.

Lu Qingqing quickly dodged to the side and saw the man walking farther and farther away with a small bag on his back.

The figure looked familiar. It was the man who stole the cloth bag that day.

Lu Qingqing hesitated for only a second between going to the toilet and following the man, and then decided to follow the man first.

What if he could find a way to escape?
