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

After Yonggang's mother asked this question, the crowd instantly became quiet.

Father Yang didn't dare to look at them. He walked to the cart with his head lowered and uncovered the cloth covering it.

The person below was Yonggang, who had already stopped breathing!

Yonggang's mother couldn't bear the blow and fainted on the spot.

Yonggang's wife suppressed her sadness and hurried to help her mother-in-law.

Yonggang's father, who was standing next to him, swayed for a moment and asked with all his might:

"What happened? Why is my Yonggang gone?"

Yang's father and the other men who went there all lowered their heads, not knowing how to tell his parents.

Finally, it was Father Yang who spoke:

"Uncle, Yonggang was beaten to death by those thieves."

Yonggang's father walked to the cart trembling, looked at his son's body, and couldn't help crying.

The man's crying was suppressed and painful, and everyone who heard it felt heavy in their hearts.

Yang's father and several other men supported Yonggang's father and escorted him back.

Many men in the team were injured.

The seriously injured man was also taken home by his family to treat his wounds.

Yang's father, Lu Tianming and the village elders discussed it and decided to give fifty taels of the seventy taels of silver collected this time to Yonggang's family.

The remaining twenty taels were distributed according to the severity of the injuries.

As for the food obtained, it was given priority to Yonggang's family.

At the same time, the village promised that the clan would give Yonggang's family a batch of food every year.

Although Yonggang's family was in pain, they also knew that the dead could not be brought back to life.

Those who are alive must continue to live!

After Yonggang's affairs were dealt with, Yang's father called people to the village entrance.

"Everyone knows the danger outside, so the important thing is to build the wall as soon as possible!"

The men all agreed!

Only the family members who stayed behind were a little confused. They didn't understand why they had to build a wall as soon as they came back.

Listening to the doubts of the family members, Father Yang explained directly in order to save time:

"When we went out this time, we found that there was a plague outside.

Besides, there are still many refugees rushing here from behind. Without a wall to block them, they will be robbed sooner or later!"

Due to time constraints, Father Yang only gave a brief explanation.

But those who stayed behind also understood that there was chaos outside.

Father Yang saw the crowd in turmoil and shouted:

"Everyone, be quiet. The refugees outside may arrive at any time. We don't have time to waste."

After this shout, the crowd fell completely silent.

Father Yang then continued:

"Now, every family has dried adobe bricks and brings them home.

If the village sells food, we can use the food we brought back this time."

After hearing this, everyone had no objection.

If the wall cannot be repaired, not only the food that has just been brought back will be lost.

Even their own food may not be preserved!

Seeing this, Yang's father roughly counted all the adobe bricks and found that it was far from enough.

There could have been more, because Lu Tianming and his group came to renovate the yard a few days ago.

The village sold a lot of adobe bricks to Lu Tianming and his group, so there were not many left in the house.

But the adobe bricks have been used, so we can only think of other ways.

Suddenly, Lu Qingqing remembered the ice wall they had built in the plague-stricken town and quickly expressed her idea.

Many men watching clapped their hands excitedly:

"That's a good idea. Many families in the village have molds. With a little modification, we can make ice blocks!"

With that, the group quickly went back to their homes and started to study how to make ice bricks quickly.

Soon, many people returned to the village entrance, bringing back not only molds but also various other things.

Father Yang didn't care about these things. He just arranged for the families who brought the adobe bricks to unload them in the appropriate places.

On the way back from Yinjia Village, he had already thought about the location of the wall.

The entire Linshan Village is surrounded by mountains on both sides. One side faces the main road outside the village entrance, and the other side is a forest. Shanguan Village is next to the forest.

Therefore, there are only two sides that need to be fenced off, and today we will naturally fence off the side at the village entrance first.

Needless to say, everyone started to get busy.

Father Yang led the men and began to build the wall.

On the other side, the old village chief made a water container with wooden boards according to the size of the adobe mold.

In this weather outside, if you put water in it, it will freeze into ice cubes in no time.

Seeing this, each family also brought wood and asked some carpenters in the village to make the mold.

Some people were so creative that they added a wooden board under the original adobe mold.

In order to prevent water leakage, a layer of waterproof tarpaulin was fixed on the bottom layer.

This way, it is actually very useful.

For a time, each company started to make molds according to the most convenient method.

The old village chief and others were so busy that they couldn't wait to make more molds.

Once some is done, it is distributed to each family.

The more molds you have, the more ice cubes you can make.

Because they didn't want to waste water from the well, each family dug snow from outside. The women melted it and poured it directly into the mold.

Soon, a lot of ice cubes were piled up in each family's yard.

After Yang's father led a group of men to use up the adobe bricks, they began to pull carts to each yard to collect ice bricks.

Now, everyone began to work hard to build the wall.

By dark, most of the wall at the village entrance had been built.

But no one in the village said they would stop. They couldn't sleep well until the wall was built.

Everyone lit torches and worked all night.

It was not until the wall at the village entrance was built that Yang's father forced everyone to stop.

It's really too late today. Even if we work until dawn, we can't build the other side.

Besides, everyone got up early in the morning and set off for Yinjia Village.
