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

Seeing Old Lady Lu's expression, Lu Qingqing was in a good mood and took the initiative to help Mrs. Lu make breakfast.

At the dinner table, she found that Old Man Lu was also scratching his legs.

The old man was very proud and didn't say anything even though he was hurt by the scratching. He just pursed his lips and frowned.

Lu Qingqing apologized to Old Man Lu for being accidentally injured, but if it happened again, she said she would still release the ants.

I lowered my head and quickly drank the vegetable porridge in my mouth. It didn't taste so bitter anymore.

After dinner, the others went to the fields, while Lu Qingqing started doing housework.

Thinking of the various natural disasters that might have occurred during the Little Ice Age at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Lu Qingqing accelerated her movements as she had to fill up the space as quickly as possible.

Seeing her younger siblings playing in the yard, Lu Qingqing folded a little rabbit for them to play with out of foxtail grass.

He went to the vegetable garden behind the house and pulled out a few of the more abundant cabbages, radishes, and bean seedlings.

There were not many pumpkins planted, and only one seedling was pulled out for fear of being discovered. After all, Mrs. Lu was very concerned about edible things at home.

While pulling out pumpkin seedlings, Lu Qingqing was startled by the sudden sound of footsteps.

I turned around and found that it was my neighbor who was passing by on his way home to change his hoe.

I looked up and greeted him, then continued after he walked away.

After pulling out the seedlings in the vegetable garden, Lu Qingqing planned to wash the clothes and go to the foot of the mountain to see if there was any food that could be grown, and to cut the grass at the same time.

The water was a little cold in the morning, so Lu Qingqing silently sped up the washing process.

After returning home and hanging up the clothes, Lu Qingqing carried the basket on her back and walked quickly towards the foot of the mountain in the north.

Lu Qingqing was cutting grass at the foot of the mountain while observing whether there was any edible food around.

Half an hour later, after wandering around the entire foot of the mountain, Lu Qingqing finally discovered in despair that she could not find any food to eat except a few yellow old shepherd's purse.

Thinking about the memories of my original body, the thin soup and porridge I had for two meals a day in winter, the feeling of being so hungry that I wanted to swallow myself up seemed to be right in front of me.

After much hesitation, I decided to go a little further into the mountains. If I really encountered danger, I would hide in the space.

But the weeds are lush this season, and I'm afraid there may be snakes hiding there.

Lu Qingqing found a long branch, tied up her trouser legs with grass, and adjusted the worn straw sandals on her feet.

He started to walk into the mountains, beating the grass in front of him as he walked, and holding the sickle for cutting grass in his other hand.

The further you go in, the lusher the grass becomes.

The chirping of insects and birds in the mountains rose and fell, but she felt that her heartbeat drowned out these sounds.

While swallowing nervously, he carefully looked around to see if there was any edible food.

Fortunately, Lu Qingqing's family was from the countryside in her previous life. She grew up with her grandparents, going up mountains and down rivers, and was familiar with the basic food in the countryside.

Before entering the mountain, Lu Qingqing was still wondering if she could find ginseng or something in the mountains like the heroine in the time-travel novel and achieve financial freedom.

But reality is here to shatter fantasies, and there is nothing along the way.

After walking for a long time, I finally found a few peach trees on the hillside ahead.

I ran a few steps to the peach tree and found some ripe peaches that had fallen to the ground and rotted.

Looking up, the peaches on the tree were ripe, and some of them had traces of being pecked by birds.

I picked a ripe, bright red peach and couldn't wait to rub it on my body.

After taking a bite, the sweet juice instantly filled her mouth, making Lu Qingqing's mood better.

After eating it in big mouthfuls, pick all the red peaches that you can reach.

Looking at the remaining peaches, Lu Qingqing climbed up the tree. Except for a small number of peaches at the top that were out of reach, she picked the rest and placed them beside the well in the space.

I washed some ripe peaches with well water, placed them on a large leaf, and sat by the tree, eating them until I was full.

For the first time since I traveled through time, I felt my stomach was full, and I couldn't help but sigh. It turns out that being full really makes you feel happy.

After eating, Lu Qingqing found a small peach sapling next to the peach tree. She carefully transplanted the peach sapling into the space.

I picked a few larger peach pits from the rotten peaches on the ground and planted them in the space, hoping they would sprout.

The road was no longer visible on this side of the peach tree, so Lu Qingqing planned to continue walking forward. This place should be a place that no one in the village would go to.

Fearing that she would get lost, she cut a path by cutting the grass on the road.

After walking forward for a while, as the sun became brighter, Lu Qingqing suddenly heard a slight sound to the right.

Worried that it was a snake, he decisively hit the grass over there with the stick.

I saw a pheasant fluttering out of the grass.

When Lu Qingqing was a child, she went up the mountain with her grandfather and knew that ordinary people could not catch pheasants by just using their hands during the day.

But there might be a harvest in the pheasant's nest. I walked towards the place where the pheasant was just now, and sure enough, I found a nest of green pheasant eggs.

Lu Qingqing happily put her and her nest into the space, looked at the position of the sun, and planned to go back.

It was time to go back and make lunch. On the way, I picked up some grass that the livestock liked and then went down the mountain.

After returning home, Lu Qingqing thought about it and decided to leave a few peaches for Boss Lu.

After all, she was born into this body. When she was beaten and had no food to eat that day, Boss Lu secretly left half a steamed bun for her.

These peaches are my reward for the half steamed bun.

This time, Lu Qingqing picked more than 80 kilograms of peaches, leaving some particularly green ones unpicked. Lu Qingqing plans to go again after a while.

It is not yet certain whether the space can be kept fresh.

Worried that the overripe peaches would rot, Lu Qingqing divided the peaches into several piles on the mountain according to their ripeness.

She has not yet discovered a good preservation method. In modern times, fruits are usually canned or dried.

But sugar is a luxury here, and Lu Qingqing has no money and can't afford it at all.

After much thought, I decided to find an opportunity to go to town in the next two days to see if I can sell it.

In the original body's previous memory, he had been to the town, where there were small vendors selling things.

After dinner, Lu Qingqing took out a few peaches and gave them to Boss Lu.

When Boss Lu saw it, he was surprised where she picked it from.

After hearing Lu Qingqing say that she went to the mountain, Boss Lu spoke to Lu Qingqing very seriously.

A few years ago, there was a young man in the village who was greedy and wanted to go to the mountains to hunt some wild animals, but he never came out again.

The old people in the village also said that there are long mountains behind Lujia Village and there are ferocious beasts in them.

Moreover, there used to be a hunter in the village who often went into the mountains to hunt. Later, one time he injured his leg while going into the mountains.

After that, no one in the village dared to go into the mountains anymore. At most, they would cut some grass and chop some firewood at the foot of the mountain.

Looking at Lu Qingqing who was listening obediently with her head down, Boss Lu realized that he had scared her and directly and strictly forbade her to enter the back mountain again.

He didn't know that Lu Qingqing had the space as a refuge artifact.

Lu Qingqing stopped arguing and just promised not to go into the mountain again.

Although he made the promise, thinking about the clear soup porridge he had for two meals a day in previous winters, he secretly decided to go into the mountains secretly and not let anyone know.

Lu Qingqing felt that the original body was most likely killed by a fever due to long-term hunger and malnutrition.

Since she came here, she must live well. She only lived for about twenty years in her previous life.

I don’t know which great god appeared and allowed her to live another life and get the golden finger of space.

She will definitely live a good life. She doesn't seek wealth and honor, but only wants to live in peace and comfort.
