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

It seems that the thief was seriously injured.

Qin Lang slashed the thief's arm with a knife. In a hurry, he used great force and caused a lot of bleeding.

In the current situation, there is no doctor in the village, and the road to the outside is blocked. I think this person is not having an easy time.

At the Qin family's house, the three of them locked the door and cleaned the entrance before returning to the kang.

At this time, no one was sleepy anymore.

Grandma Qin was analyzing with the two of them that the people who broke in this time must be villagers, and judging from their figures, they looked like three men.

The man who spoke deliberately kept his voice low. Although the three of them heard it, they couldn't guess who it was.

Lujia Village is a big village, so it’s hard to find it accurately by just guessing.

The three of them pondered for a long time, but they really had no clue.

The temperature outside is too low now, and most villagers stay at home, so it is not convenient for the village chief to call all the villagers out.

Moreover, the thieves last night did not succeed, and two thieves were injured. If no one is caught, even if we go to the village chief, it will be difficult to get any results.

Grandma Qin planned to follow the footprints at dawn the next day to see where the three people went, and tell the village chief so that everyone could be on guard.

At night, the three of them slept restlessly.

As soon as it was dawn, Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang went out with their weapons. There were still sporadic snowflakes floating in the sky.

The snow underneath was frozen, and since it had just fallen, it wasn't thick, so it wasn't difficult to walk on.

At the door, under a thin layer of snow, bloodstains and footprints were still visible. The two followed the traces down the hillside.

The bloodstains disappeared after a while, probably because the temperature was too low at night and the wounds had frozen. The two continued to search along the footprints.

On the steep slope, there were obvious traces of slipping and falling. It was probably too dark to see clearly at night, and the thief must have fallen several times along the way.

But when we reached the village entrance, the footprints were gone.

There were some traces of sweeping on the ground. I guess the thief was afraid of being followed, so he took a broom to sweep away the footprints.

After entering the village, the traces on the road became more messy.

The ground was covered with tire tracks, left by vehicles transporting snow, and there were also scattered footprints.

Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang walked around the main street but found nothing.

When they arrived at the old village chief's house, they saw three carriages parked in the yard and the faint sound of a woman crying could be heard from inside the house.

At this time, the old village chief's wife came out with a basin of blood. When she saw Lu Qingqing and the others, she forced a smile and greeted them.

At this time, the old village head's wife seemed to remember something and asked Qin Lang hurriedly,

"Xiao Lang, do you have any wound medicine at home?"

"Your eldest uncle's leg was chopped by bandits, and the bleeding won't stop. There's no doctor in our village. What should we do?"

Qin Lang remembered that when his grandfather was alive, he would prepare some golden wound medicine every year.

Later, my grandfather passed away, and my grandmother handed over this task to him, and the family would prepare a batch every year.

"Grandma Sun, there's more at home. I'll go back and get it."

When the two of them ran back home and told Grandma Qin, Grandma Qin took out the wooden box on the kang.

He took out a small box of medicine powder, thought for a while, took out a porcelain bottle, and poured two pills on the handkerchief.

He told Lu Qingqing that the medicine in the box was for applying to wounds to stop bleeding, and the medicine wrapped in the handkerchief was for oral use, which had the effect of nourishing and producing blood.

When the two men arrived at the old village chief's house, the old village chief's wife was still waiting at the door. Seeing them coming, she quickly pulled them back into the house.

Inside the room, there were several well-dressed people sitting on chairs nearby.

On the kang, Lu Tianming looked miserable. A long wound on his left leg was still bleeding, and the skin and flesh were rolled up, looking very scary.

When Lu Tianming saw the two people, he wanted to say hello, but when he moved his body, it affected his wound, and his face twisted in pain.

Lu Qingqing hurriedly handed the medicine in her hand to the old village chief beside the bed and explained how to use it.

He was delighted when he saw the medicine, as he had seen Grandpa Qin use this medicine before.

When I was out escorting a bodyguard, I applied this when I got injured. It was very effective in stopping bleeding.

I had already treated the wound when I first got home, and now I was busy sprinkling medicine powder on my eldest son's wound, and the bleeding soon stopped.

Lu Tianming's expression also softened a lot, and he said to Lu Qingqing and the others with a smile,

"Uncle Qin's medicine is really good. My legs don't hurt as much anymore."

Seeing that the situation had improved, the old village chief and his family breathed a sigh of relief and asked Lu Qingqing and the others to sit down.

At this time, the original body's younger sister Guihua came in with tea and was stunned when she saw Lu Qingqing.

I didn’t expect that Daya actually grew taller after going to the Qin family.

Her face has gained some flesh and her skin has become whiter. Combined with her delicate facial features, she looks like a beauty.

She was wearing a thick, clean cotton coat that looked newly made. Daya was really different from when she was in the Lu family.

Thinking of this, she lowered her head to look at her brand new coat, and recalled the silver hairpin her father had bought her when he went to the county last time. She felt that she was still better off than Daya in terms of food and clothing.

Then he remembered that he had inherited his mother's flat nose, and no matter how much sun protection he put on, his skin was still a little dark and yellow, and he couldn't help feeling annoyed.

After serving tea to the guests, Guihua stood next to her father Lu Tianxin.

He glanced in the direction of Qin Lang and saw his dazed look, and a hint of relief flashed in his eyes.

Even though Daya is prettier than herself, she still married a fool and will have to live with a fool for the rest of her life.

My father loves me so much, he will definitely find a good family for me.

Seeing that all the guests were seated, Lu Tianming talked about his injury.

During the autumn harvest, drought struck most of the state, leaving no crops. Villagers fled for their lives, leaving refugees everywhere.

Some refugees gathered in the nearby mountains and became bandits. More and more refugees were recruited into the bandit group, who wantonly robbed nearby villages and wealthy families.

When the cold wave hit, a large number of refugees froze to death.

Seeing that there was no food in the mountains and the temperature was low, the remaining people became jealous of the residents in the city and gathered nearby bandits to rob the county town.

In the early morning, bandits attacked the city gate.

Because it was cold at night, most of the soldiers guarding the city went to keep warm, and they unexpectedly opened the city gate.

A large number of bandits rushed into the city and first robbed the wealthy families. Seeing the mountains of food in the rich families' homes, the bandits thought of their relatives who had starved to death and became even more ruthless.

They killed almost everyone they saw, and after robbing the house they set it on fire.

The poor families in the city took advantage of the chaos and began to follow behind to rob food, silver, money and jewelry.

The city was instantly in chaos, the county government office was breached by bandits, the county magistrate and his family were killed, and almost all the defenders of the county were killed.

When Lu Tianming and his family heard the sound, they quickly packed up their belongings and food and left.

Fortunately, they left early. Just after walking two blocks, they saw a fire in their yard.

Looking back at his burning house, he ignored his sadness and quickly drove his carriage out of the city.

On the road, many city residents were driving horse-drawn carriages or pushing carts, all rushing towards the city gate.

When they were almost at the city gate, they saw a group of bandits slaughtering people at the gate.

The closed city gate caused a large number of carriages and horses to be blocked at the city gate.

Seeing the bandits ahead looting and killing people wantonly, the ground was covered with blood and corpses under the flickering firelight.

Some families ahead abandoned their cars and fled back, not caring about their belongings. They were almost here.

In the back, a steady stream of city residents were still rushing here, and now they could not go any further.

In a hurry, Lu Tianming called his son and got out of the carriage with a big knife.

When getting out of the carriage, he saw County Magistrate Yao and his family behind him on the left.

County Magistrate Yao and his three sons were also holding weapons and standing guard in front of the carriage.

As soon as the two families met, they decided to escape together.

The knives in the hands of these people are much better than the weapons in the hands of the bandits.

After chopping down several bandits, the city residents saw hope and stopped retreating, and rushed forward one after another.

Most of the bandits were just ordinary people before. When they saw that the situation was not good, they thought of retreating, and fewer people came to try to stop them.

The residents of the city took the opportunity to rush to the city gate, opened the gate, and everyone fled out.

When Lu Tianming and his family followed the crowd out, another wave of bandits rushed into the city. Hearing the shouting and killing behind them, everyone scrambled to escape.
