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

When the men heard this, some of them who were afraid of getting hurt and didn't want to go out gradually gave up the idea.

The village chief was right. Looking at the miserable condition of Sun Youliang's family, this group of thieves not only took food, but also killed the entire family.

Although the people in Linshan Village don't have much food at home, they can still survive until spring if they save a little.

When there was a way to survive, the men would get angry when they encountered people who wanted to kill them.

In the crowd, a group of men shouted:

"Find them out!"

"Find them and take revenge!"

"..."

The men were furious, and when Father Yang saw this, his face, which had been extremely ugly, looked a little better.

He was afraid that the villagers would be scared of this group of thieves. If everyone was afraid to go out, that would be really troublesome.

Moreover, their house is right at the entrance of the village.

If the matter is not resolved this time, I'm afraid his family will be the next to suffer!

Thinking of this, Father Yang raised the hatchet in his hand and said loudly:

"Okay, everyone is a man of integrity, let's set off now!

Listen to my instructions on the road, don't talk, and keep quiet!"

As he spoke, Father Yang took the lead and walked ahead.

Lu Qingqing and her group hurriedly followed, and following the footprints in front of them, they set off in a mighty procession.

As soon as they left the village, Yang's father called Lu Tianming to the front of the team to discuss things.

Lu Qingqing pulled Qin Lang and took the opportunity to get behind the two of them.

When we reached the road outside the village, the mess of footprints and tire tracks was particularly obvious.

Father Yang led everyone in this direction.

As they walked, Lu Qingqing almost figured out the number of thieves who attacked Sun Youliang's house.

There were about seven to eight to twenty thieves in this group.

Judging from their footprints, there were no fewer than seven of them.

But their number would not be too large. After all, they only launched a sneak attack last night and did not even wake up Yang Yongyan's family who lived very nearby.

If that group of people had been large, they would not have just quietly robbed Sun Youliang's family and then ran away.

Instead, they directly robbed the entire Linshan Village!

At this time, more food means more chances of survival.

Who wouldn’t want to stock up on food?

There is another possibility that when they go out to rob, they will probably leave some people guarding the hideout.

But even if there are still some people hiding in their hideout, there won’t be too many.

Lu Qingqing estimated that the entire group of thieves would not exceed forty people.

There were about a hundred people in Linshan Village.

It shouldn't be a big problem to deal with forty or so thieves who don't have any sharp weapons.

The little girl Sun Youliang just saw was only four or five years old and was beaten to death by the group of thieves.

Lu Qingqing had already figured it out in her mind that this group of people must be dealt with.

This group of people is no different from the people who have lost their humanity that they met on their way to escape the famine.

If they can enter Linshan Village once, they can enter it a second time.

Now, she and everyone in her team lives in Linshan Village.

It is best to eliminate those who threaten their safety as soon as possible!

Thinking of this, Lu Qingqing tightened the long sword in her hand.

The group followed the trail for more than half an hour, passing through several villages.

Several villages far away from Linshan Village have walls at the entrances.

Everyone looked over curiously, as they had been to these villages before.

At that time, these villages did not have such walls.

Those who wanted to go to the village to inquire about the situation were also stopped by people nearby.

Thinking about what Yang's father told them before leaving the village, everyone just followed the team quietly.

Finally, the place where the wheel tracks and footprints finally disappeared was Yinjia Village.

Standing at the entrance of the village, I found that the village was not big, with only about twenty households.

The whole village was quiet, with only a few chimneys of houses emitting smoke.

This is too unusual in the cold winter.

Yang's father and Lu Tianming silently noted down the locations of the houses that were emitting smoke.

Father Yang waved to the people behind him, signaling everyone to follow.

A group of men walked in with weapons in hand, trying to be as light as possible.

But the streets of this village were not cleared of snow like those in their village.

There was a thick layer of snow on the street, and people stepped on it, making a slight sound of crushing the snow.

As a result, the tire tracks on the snow surface are particularly obvious.

Everyone followed the traces inside, and sure enough, the tire tracks finally disappeared among several houses with smoking chimneys.

The walls of these houses are quite high, and you can't see what's inside when you stand outside.

Lu Tianming turned and looked at Li Rui in the team.

Li Rui immediately understood what he meant, walked out of the team and came to the courtyard wall.

He took a running start and climbed onto the top of the wall in two moves.

Only half of his head was exposed, looking into the yard.

Soon, Li Rui jumped down again with light movements.

He walked to Yang's father and Lu Tianming and whispered something.

Immediately afterwards, Father Yang began to assign people.

Divide everyone into four teams and surround the four smoking houses respectively.

Lu Tianming and his group were naturally assigned to a team led by Lu Tianming to attack the courtyard next door.

The people in the team have experienced too many battles, so needless to say, everyone has already made a division of labor.

As usual, Li Rui climbed up the wall to check the situation. There was no one guarding the yard except the cart.

Brother Tu, the "lock-picking master", took the lead and opened the gate in just a few moves.

Everyone walked lightly and followed quickly.

When I reached the door, I could still hear snoring coming from inside.

Senior Brother Tu used a dagger to pry open the door stop little by little until the door was opened and everyone rushed in. Only then did the man on duty in the room notice it.

"Someone broke in, hurry up! Hurry up..."

Before he could finish his words, the man was shot through the throat by an arrow and fell backwards.

But the shout just now also woke up the men sleeping in the room.

The men lying on the kangs in the east and west rooms all jumped up, but most of them didn't have time to react before they were hit by a knife.

Soon, the dozen or so men were no longer able to fight back.

Because he still had some questions to ask, Lu Tianming left some people alive.

The floors of the east and west rooms and the entire main hall were filled with grain.

In addition to food, there are also some other miscellaneous things.

Even the quilts that the men on the kang covered themselves with were mostly thick and had few patches.

Looking at these, Lu Qingqing also guessed that this group of people probably robbed more than just Sun Youliang's family!

Lu Tianming and his team quickly tied up the few survivors.

Then he quickly ran out the door and headed to the yard next door.

As soon as I walked out of the door, I heard fighting and screams coming from next door.
