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

The fifth brother spat a mouthful of thick phlegm toward the wall and called out to the brothers behind him:

"Okay, it's damn cold here, I'm freezing. Looks like there's no hope during the day, guys, let's go back first!"

As he said this, he took the lead and walked towards the yard where they lived.

When they returned to their yard, the two women hurriedly brought out the prepared fish soup.

The fifth brother took a sip, slammed the bowl heavily on the table, and cursed:

"What the hell is this? It smells fishy and tastes like nothing!"

The two frail women trembled with fear and whispered:

"We have nothing here except fish, and we really have no other choice."

After hearing this, the fifth brother felt even more upset and kicked the woman who was closest to him.

Ignoring the woman's wails, he turned and returned to his bedding.

As he lay in bed, he thought of the horses in the yard, as if they had already eaten some hot barbecue.

As he was thinking, he suddenly sat up and said to the men in the room:

"No need to wait, let's act tonight. Once we seize that yard, I promise that you brothers will be able to eat horse meat to your heart's content and never have to drink this fishy and stinky fish soup again!"

For a moment, the room cheered.

A refugee who had just finished drinking fish soup said with a lewd smile:

"I see there are quite a few young ladies and wives in that yard. When the time comes, give the most beautiful ones to Fifth Brother, and the rest will be enjoyed by us brothers!"

When the refugees heard this, they all burst into laughter.

At night, Lu Qingqing was sitting by the fire sorting arrows when she suddenly heard footsteps outside.

She stood up suddenly, picked up the big knife at her feet, and ran quickly into the yard.

When I arrived in the yard, I could clearly hear footsteps coming from outside the wall.

She ignored everything else and ran towards the ladder beside the courtyard wall, shouting:

"There's a sneak attack, get up quickly!"

At this time, several people on duty in another room also ran out with weapons.

The people on duty also shouted and ran towards the wall.

In the room, everyone who was sleeping in their clothes got up as soon as they heard the shouting.

At this time, Lu Qingqing had already picked up the ladder by the wall, climbed up and looked outside.

Sixty or seventy men gathered on the snow outside the courtyard wall.

Four ladders were lined up against the wall, and someone was climbing up each ladder.

One of them happened to be next to Lu Qingqing, and when he climbed up, he was facing Lu Qingqing.

The two faced each other, and Lu Qingqing suddenly pulled out the big knife from her waist and slashed straight at the man's face.

The man didn't expect that the opponent would kill him right away. Before he could retreat down the ladder, he was hit on the head with a knife.

Then he screamed and fell off the ladder, hitting the person holding the ladder below.

While looking at the position outside the wall, Lu Qingqing directed the people in the yard to rush towards the several locations where the ladders were set up.

However, before the people in the yard could set up the ladders and climb up, those places had already been climbed up by the refugees outside the wall.

When the people in the yard tried to set up a ladder again, before they could lean it against the wall, they were pushed down by the refugees on the top of the wall.

Seeing this, everyone in the yard tried to set up ladders in other directions, but the refugees outside the wall climbed up the wall very quickly.

Lu Qingqing leaned on the ladder, quickly hung the knife back on her waist, took out the bow and put an arrow on it.

On the courtyard wall, refugees were already moving towards where Lu Qingqing was.

Seeing that several refugees were still approaching, Lu Qingqing's first arrow went straight through the man's chest.

The refugee who was trying to come over from behind saw this and moved back in fear.

Lu Qingqing quickly took out the second arrow and sent him off the wall.

Now, no one climbed up the wall where Lu Qingqing was.

They all moved the ladders and went in another direction.

Seeing that there were no enemies around, Lu Qingqing quickly looked around the yard and saw four or five refugees climbing up the wall on the other side.

That place was closer to the door, and most of the people under the courtyard wall were women who had just come out.

Lu Qingqing simply changed the direction of the bow and arrow, aiming directly at the man who had climbed onto the wall and was trying to jump down.

With a dull thud of an arrow piercing the flesh, the man was forced to fall into the yard before he could jump down.

When the women below saw this, they were afraid that he was still alive, so they all came forward with axes in hand.

After one man chopped him with a knife, the man was completely dead.

The man sitting on the wall was so ferocious seeing the woman below that he didn't dare to jump down for a moment.

But soon, an urging voice came from outside the courtyard wall:

"Monkey, Lao Du, hurry up, you guys are all piled up here, how am I going to get up there!"

As soon as the man finished speaking, he heard a soft "whoosh" sound.

Immediately afterwards, the monkey right above him fell straight back.

The man was hit by the monkey and fell off the ladder.

The wall was much higher than usual, and he even served as a scapegoat for someone.

When he fell to the ground, he felt severe pain in his back and waist and was unable to move at all.

He cried out in pain, "Ouch, ouch!" and tried to push the monkey off his body, but he felt blood on his hands.

The person on his body stopped moving at all, and he screamed in fear.

At this time, the refugees nearby were trying to help him up.

When they found that he was completely unable to move, they stabbed him in the abdomen and dragged the body aside.

On the top of the wall, Lu Qingqing aimed the arrow at the refugees lying on the wall.

As the sound of arrows breaking through the air rang out, refugees fell off the wall one after another.

These fixed targets were so easy to hit that she only regretted that her hands were not fast enough.

Those who fell into the yard, even if they did not die immediately, were quickly killed by the people guarding the yard.

But they were climbing the wall very quickly.

In addition to those who were shot by Lu Qingqing, there were already many men sitting on the wall.

At this moment, they were lying on the wall, in a dilemma.

There were many men with knives guarding the yard below. If they jumped down, they would die.

I wanted to retreat, but people kept climbing up the ladder behind me.

In the end, it created an awkward situation.

All the people who came to attack were lying on the wall. When they saw the direction Lu Qingqing's arrow was aimed at, they all lay down and tried to dodge.

Seeing this, the fifth brother outside the courtyard wall knew that this was not going to work.

Seeing that there were more people on the wall, he shouted loudly:

"Brothers, if you're lying on the wall, you're sitting ducks. Jump down and you can fight! When I say jump, you jump together!"

The refugees on the wall had no choice but to accept it.

"Jump!"

With this shout, most of the refugees on the wall jumped down, leaving only one or two still on the courtyard wall.

In the yard, the men in Lu Qingqing's team had been waiting for a long time.

When they saw a refugee jumping down, two or three people surrounded him and quickly killed him.

Outside the courtyard wall, the fifth brother was still hoping that someone would run to the door and open it.

But even though the brothers were halfway through jumping down, the gate still didn't move.

Unable to wait any longer, he climbed up the wall by himself.
