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

If something happens outside, you can use the ladder to check the situation.

As for going out, everyone knows that it is chaotic outside and no one will go out.

After the high wall was built, the villagers felt more at ease.

Father Yang looked at the people chatting around the wall and said loudly:

"Okay, the wall is built.

All the men who went to Yinjia Village yesterday, come to my door, let's divide the food!"

As soon as the words fell, the tired expressions on the men's faces instantly turned into excitement.

They didn't have time to chat anymore and walked towards Yang's father's house.

The women nearby also quickly followed, intending to see how much their men could get.

At the door of Yang's father's house, Yang Yongyan was directing everyone to line up in the order they arrived.

When they distributed food to Yonggang's family yesterday, they had already counted the amount of food.

This time, it will be divided equally according to the number of people.

Father Yang and several elders of the clan were at the front distributing the food, and the first one to get the food was Goudan.

In total, he distributed half a bag of coarse grains, most of a bag of bran, and some dried vegetables, cabbage, etc.

He was holding several bags in his hands and grinning happily, revealing his yellow teeth.

Goudan's family, who were waiting nearby, saw him get his share of food and hurried forward to take the bag.

Goudan's mother opened a few bags and after looking at the things inside, she laughed so hard that her mouth almost reached her ears.

The people who were still queuing at the back saw this and asked anxiously:

"Goudan, what did you get? Tell me!"

Goudan raised his head proudly and said to his family members beside him:

"Dad, Mom, and daughter-in-law, take your things and go back first. I'll talk to them here."

Goudan's mother responded indifferently, saying that now that the food was in hand, her son could play if he wanted to.

Then she called Goudan's father and daughter-in-law to carry their things and go home.

I got so much food today, it will last me a long time!

When I get back, I will cook more food to nourish my daughter-in-law and give her a big fat grandson next year.

Thinking of this, Goudan's mother looked at her daughter-in-law's thin body and made up her mind to make more food for her in the evening.

After Goudan finished talking to his mother, he ran over excitedly and started chatting with the people behind him.

For a moment, the atmosphere at the scene was extremely lively, and people were discussing the items they would be given.

In the corner, Yang Dehua watched everyone leaving with food, his eyes glued to the bags.

Dehua's wife standing next to them was also looking at him with envy. A gust of cold wind blew by, and she shrank her head, blew her nose, and wiped the snot on the soles of her shoes.

"Dad, if I had known earlier you should have gone too, look how many good things they got!

Yongbao has been crying out for hunger these days, and there is not enough food at home.

It would be great if we could get some food too!"

Yang Dehua, who was standing next to him, turned around and cursed:

"You stupid woman, you only saw the food, but didn't you see that Yonggang was dead!

Besides, how many of the men who went to the village were injured?

What if I lose my life because of this?

I think you are a heartless person who doesn't care whether I live or die!"

Dehua's wife shrank her neck and whispered:

"Big brother and Yongyan are both gone, so it's okay!

If you had gone there at that time and followed him, I think it would have been fine."

When Yang Dehua heard that she dared to talk back, he was so angry that he raised his hand to hit her.

Dehua's wife had already developed the habit, and the moment he raised his hand, she quickly dodged away.

Yang Dehua saw her running away, but he didn't chase her. He cursed:

"She's just a stupid bitch. She has to rely on me for everything."

As he spoke, his eyes moved around and finally landed on Yang's father.

He walked towards Yang's father with his hands in his pockets.

Before he could get close, Yang Yongxing called out to Yang Yongyan, and the two of them stood in front of him.

Yang Dehua saw his two nephews and said with a flattering smile:

"Yongyan, Yongxing, why are you two here?"

Yang Yongyan looked at his always rogue uncle and said coldly:

"Uncle, my father and some elders are busy distributing things, so don't go over there!"

After hearing this, Yang Dehua did not get angry, but said with a smile:

“I’m not going over there, I’m just looking from here.

It's winter, and it's rare to see so many people gathered together to chat, so I came over to have some fun."

Seeing that he was smiling playfully, Yang Yongyan couldn't agree to it, so he had no reason to chase him away.

But he was worried if he left.

He was afraid that once he left, his second uncle would go over and ask his father for things again.

Judging from his father's personality, I'm afraid he will give it to him again.

By then, my parents will quarrel again.

Thinking of this, Yang Yongyan did not retreat a single step and stood in front of Yang Dehua.

Yang Dehua quietly moved a step to the left, and Yang Yongyan and Yang Yongxing followed immediately.

After trying a few times, Yang Dehua could no longer keep the smile on his face.

He turned and walked towards the queue at the back.

This time, the two brothers Yang Yongyan didn't follow him, but they didn't walk far either, and their eyes were always fixed on him.

At the back of the team, Lu Qingqing, Qin Lang and a group of fellow apprentices were also queuing up.

Lu Qingqing looked at the group of people in front, who were at the back of the team.

It would take a while before it was their turn, so they simply turned around and went back to the wall and started checking around it.

As she walked, Lu Qingqing recalled the time when she was besieged in the town.

If the enemies outside try to climb up, it will be too late for the people inside to set up a ladder.

She had seen the battlements on the city wall when she passed by it before.

People can stand on the parapet and things can be placed on it.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingqing came up with an idea.

Now that the wall has been built, battlements can be built inside the wall at regular intervals.

If the enemy attacks, this battlement is much better than a ladder to meet the enemy.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingqing quickly checked along the wall and walked back only after making sure that there was no problem with the wall.

When I returned to the team, there were still quite a few people waiting ahead.

Lu Qingqing told Lu Tianming about her idea and received unanimous approval from Lu Tianming and County Magistrate Yao.

County Magistrate Yao also suggested that a house could be built next to the wall so that the guards could live in it.

The wall they built was built around the village. Although it was not far from the villagers' houses, there was still some distance between them.

If you encounter a situation in the future and can't hear anything, it will be troublesome.

Lu Tianming nodded in approval, went to the front of the team, and told them about building battlements and guard houses.

Yang's father and several clan elders all approved of the idea of ​​building battlements.

Anyway, making ice blocks is free, and a little effort is nothing for farmers.

But building a guardhouse is not a easy task.

There are no more adobe bricks left in the village, and if they use ice bricks to build, they are worried about not being able to make a fire.

It's so cold, and it would be hard for the guards to survive without a fire.

Besides, no one in the village has ever tried to make a fire in the ice house in all these years.

For a moment, Yang's father was a little embarrassed.

Finally, an elder of the clan spoke:

"Okay, let's build a smaller igloo tomorrow and try making a fire and we'll know for sure!"
