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

Tianfu Niang listened and quickly agreed:

"Daya is right, let's raise the wall first.

If the tiger jumps in while you're asleep at night, you'll be in big trouble!"

The others listened and nodded.

Lu Tianming looked around and saw that everyone had no other options, so he said:

"Then everyone started working, using the same method as before, pouring water on top to make the walls higher and thicker!

Besides, the door isn't very solid, so I need to make some ice bricks and reinforce it!"

Everyone agreed and then went back to their rooms to get busy.

......

Yang Shulin's home.

When Bai Xing'er heard the tiger's roar, she was practicing martial arts with her two younger sisters in the yard.

The tiger's roar was too close to them. In fear, she pulled her two sisters and quickly hid back in the house.

As soon as I entered the house, I heard my brother-in-law Yang Shubao crying from the east room.

Bai Xing'er was worried that her crying would attract the tiger, so she quickly pushed the door open and entered the east room.

On the kang in the east room, Yang Shubao was curled up in the quilt and crying loudly, while Shulin's mother was coaxing him softly beside him.

After Bai Xing'er entered the room, she quickly reached out and pulled Yang Shubao out of the quilt.

In a panic, he used so much force that he pulled him off the kang and grabbed him in his hand.

At the same time, the other hand covered his mouth tightly to prevent him from making any sound.

Yang Shubao was so frightened by her sudden action that he forgot to resist for a moment and even stopped crying.

Originally, Mother Shulin was gently comforting her little son who was frightened and crying.

Unexpectedly, she saw her daughter-in-law, who had been against her these days, suddenly rushing in and bullying her precious little son.

She didn't even bother to put on her shoes, she jumped off the kang and wanted to push the person away.

Bai Xing'er had been on guard against her for a long time, and she moved sideways to avoid the hand that was pushing her.

Shulin's mother pushed the person too hard, and now she couldn't control the force, so she fell directly to the ground, her palm burning with pain.

Looking at the blood streaks on her palms, she felt that she, the mother-in-law, was bullied by her daughter-in-law and felt greatly wronged.

He pointed at Bai Xing'er and started cursing.

She was a hot-tempered person by nature, and now that she was angry, she started to curse at people in the most unpleasant way possible.

Seeing that she was still crying, Bai Xing'er held Yang Shubao in her hand and blocked her in front of her, staring at her intently, and lowered her voice and shouted:

"The tiger is behind our house, not far from here. If you want to die, just howl!"

Mother Shulin regained some of her rationality that had been washed away by anger. This was not the usual time where she could suppress her daughter-in-law by beating, scolding or crying.

She was frightened by Bai Xing'er's words, and covered her mouth tightly, swallowing the curse words that were halfway through her mouth.

For a moment, the room was extremely quiet.

Jianya and Tingmei stared at the scene in the room in amazement, and their admiration for their sister-in-law grew even stronger.

At this moment, her mother was kneeling on the ground, covering her mouth tightly with her hands, with a look of panic on her face.

The person standing opposite her mother was her sister-in-law.

The sister-in-law held the precious egg of the family in her hand, holding her mother's darling in a hostage-taking posture.

But her mother and brother didn't dare to resist and just stayed quiet without making a sound.

The room was now quiet, and a few people vaguely heard someone screaming in the north, and the sound was getting farther and farther away.

Now, panic appeared on the faces of several people.

It turns out that some villagers actually encountered a tiger!

Shulin's mother thought of Yang Shulin who went to play at someone else's house and couldn't help but worry.

The place her son visited most often was Mingzi's house, three streets away from hers.

Logically speaking, they would not go to the north of the village in this weather, but she was not sure what would happen if they really went there.

She pricked up her ears to listen carefully to the screams, but unfortunately the sound was getting farther and farther away.

Until the voice disappeared, she still couldn't hear clearly whether it was her eldest son.

Mother Shulin was in a panic and asked Bai Xing'er, who seemed to be relatively calm:

"That, that screaming, wasn't from the woods, was it?"

Bai Xing'er didn't hear it clearly either, she only heard that the scream was a man's voice, and she couldn't make out anything more specific.

She looked at her panic-stricken mother-in-law and finally said something to comfort her.

“It shouldn’t be Brother Shulin!

Besides, Brother Shulin went to Mingzi's house to play mahjong.

It's freezing outside, who would go to the north of the village to blow in the cold wind for no reason? "

After hearing this, Mother Shulin felt that it made sense and she was no longer so panicked.

When I regained my senses, I realized that my current posture was like I was kneeling in front of my daughter-in-law.

She felt embarrassed and said angrily:

"Why don't you let go of me, Shubao!

I tell you, if you hurt Shubao in any way, I will let the forest give you a good beating! "

Bai Xing'er was a little soft-hearted just now, but when she heard that her mother-in-law had returned to her previous fierce self, that soft-hearted feeling disappeared instantly.

She picked up Yang Shubao and put him on the kang with one effort.

With the other hand, he wiped the tears and saliva on the quilt.

After Yang Shubao regained his freedom, he quickly ran to the corner of the kang, glared at Bai Xing'er and cursed:

"How dare you, an outsider, bully me in my own home? When my eldest brother comes back, I'll make sure he beats you to death!"

Bai Xing'er looked at the child who was too scared to resist just now, and now he was shouting with a ferocious look on his face that he wanted to beat her to death.

That look, that expression, is exactly the replica of my mother-in-law.

Looking at her two younger sisters standing quietly behind, Bai Xing'er became more and more displeased with the child. She glared at Yang Shubao with a cold face.

Then he half lowered his head, raised his eyes, and stared at him.

She stared at Yang Shubao for a while, and the naughty kid became scared.

This trick was something she came up with when she was bullied by boys in the village as a child and had no adults to support her.

In the past few years, this trick has always worked.

The boys all said she was crazy and would bite people.

Every time I saw her, I would call her crazy and stay away from her.

However, those insults against her are not important, as long as she can live in peace.

At this moment, Yang Shubao's arrogant expression slowly disappeared, and then his mouth pursed and he started crying again.

"Shut up! If you keep crying the tiger will come and eat you!"

As soon as Bai Xing'er said this, Yang Shubao fell silent instantly.

Like his mother, he covered his mouth tightly with both hands, for fear of making any noise and attracting the tiger.

Seeing this, Shulin's mother was heartbroken.

She kicked the dust off her feet and climbed onto the kang to comfort her beloved son.

Bai Xing'er quickly walked out of the east room, stepped on a bench and leaned on the small window at the back of the room.

He gently pried open the sealed window a little and looked outside.

There was a vast expanse of white behind the house, and there was no sign of the tiger.

She carefully checked every area she could see to make sure there were no living creatures.

Then he got off the bench, walked to the door, picked up the big knife on the ground, opened the door a little and looked out.

The same thing happened in the front yard. There was nothing alive except the white snow.
