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

Chapter 378 Ready to Go

Before she could continue, Sun Cui retorted.

"Boss, why have I never escaped from famine?

You forgot, I came here with my family to escape the famine, and that's when I met you!"

When Sun Cui mentioned fleeing famine, she wanted to continue persuading him, so she spoke softly:

"Master, I am getting older and my belly is getting bigger day by day.

The road was very bumpy and I was worried that something might happen to the baby.

Otherwise, let’s just stay here!”

Lu Laosan looked at her bulging belly and felt a little worried.

But he soon remembered the scene of the barbarian massacre, shuddered, and said in a firm voice:

"If you're afraid of the bumps, I'll put a few more layers of bedding on you.

This Linshan Village is really no good, if we stay here we will all die!"

In fact, the two had previously had a disagreement about whether or not to flee the famine with the team.

Lu Laosan had seen the horror of the barbarians and was determined to follow Lu Tianming.

Sun Cui didn't understand, she thought Linshan Village was good enough.

In addition, she already had control of the family's treasury and knew that the money in the family could not only build a big house, but also buy a lot of land.

That was the day she had always dreamed of!

So he wanted to persuade Lu Laosan to stay and settle down here.

Ever since she became pregnant, Lu Lao San usually agreed with her in everything, but he firmly disagreed with this matter.

At that time, Sun Cui was in a bad mood for a while, waiting for him to give in.

But after a long time, seeing that he still insisted, I was afraid of angering him, so I didn't mention it again.

This time, the old matter was brought up again under the pretext of exchanging dried vegetables.

As soon as Lu Laosan finished saying this, Sun Cui's face drooped.

She was pregnant and looked like she was thinking about her family. She insisted:

"Boss, everything I do is for our family and our son, so just listen to me!

Exchanging it for dried vegetables is a huge loss, forget it!"

Seeing that she no longer mentioned not fleeing the famine, Lu Laosan looked at her bulging belly.

In the end, there was no more quarreling, and he just secretly took some food to exchange.

As expected, after they changed back, the two had another quarrel.

Except for his family, all the other families in the yard were busy.

Tianfu's mother looked at her grandson's chubby cheeks and felt a little distressed when she thought that he would continue to flee the famine with them.

Just as I was thinking about how to make it up to him, I remembered the snacks I made for him before, the chess pieces fried with flour.

She started to work as soon as she thought of it. This thing is durable, so she made some extra.

The small pieces of noodles are baked dry and taste crispy, sweet, and have a burnt aroma.

Tianfu Niang thought about the big bag of snacks that Lu Qingqing had given her before, and packed another big bag of chess pieces and sent it to Lu Qingqing.

While everyone in the north yard was busy preparing supplies for escaping the famine, the adobe bricks were dried.

Each family used carts to transport adobe bricks to various locations along the wall and began to build the wall.

The weather has been getting warmer these days.

In addition to the increase in the number of refugees on the road, the walls made of ice bricks also melted severely.

Among them, the ice house at the entrance of the village was exposed to the most sunlight and collapsed directly.

Fortunately, no one goes into the igloo to stand guard these days.

Seeing this, everyone sped up the construction of the wall and had very little time to rest every day.

Finally, when a large section of the ice wall collapsed, the adobe wall was built.

This time, everyone left the door open.

When making this door, I deliberately made it thicker.

After the wall was built, everyone was exhausted.

Everyone in the North Courtyard rested for two days before getting up again.

While everyone continued to prepare in the yard, Lu Tianming began to go to the wall every day to observe the situation.

When I went to see it again that day, I found that most of the snow on the road had melted.

The weather has been good these days. In about a day or two, the road will not be so sticky and they will be able to go.

Lu Tianming figured it out, and after returning, he asked everyone to start preparing dry food.

During these two days, the team can prepare some dry food.

Everyone knew they were about to set off and started working without wasting a moment.

The women in each family began to knead dough and make dry cakes, while the men brought out the large wooden barrels from their homes and began to fill them with water.

Because the weather has not been too hot recently, the women steamed a lot of buns made of two-grain flour in addition to dry biscuits.

When you set off, eat some softer steamed buns first, which will make your stomach feel more comfortable.

Wait until the end and eat dry biscuits.

Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang were also busy in the house, with piles of dry biscuits spread on the grate.

At this moment, the two of them were steaming buns made of two-grain flour.

Lu Qingqing wiped the sweat from her forehead and was just about to go get some firewood.

I saw the little wolf cub "Xiao Jiaozi" gnawing on a raw rabbit beside the firewood, with blood sizzling around his mouth.

This winter, the little wolf cub has grown a lot and now looks like a grown wolf.

Perhaps, we can no longer call it "small dumpling", we should call it "big dumpling".

Lu Qingqing thought it was blocking the way and kicked it with her foot.

Without even raising his head, he picked up the rabbit in his mouth and walked towards the door.

This little guy has been raised for so long and is quite smart.

For most things, Lu Qingqing will teach it once.

After Lu Qingqing finished carrying the firewood and squatted down to light the fire, she looked at the dumplings and began to ponder.

On the way to escape the famine, she brought a wolf with her, which would probably attract a lot of attention.

By then, it will cause some trouble.

Besides, the journey may not be peaceful.

Soon, Lu Qingqing had an idea.

On the second day, after they finished steaming the dry food, they took the dumplings for a stroll at the foot of the mountain.

When they came back, they told everyone with drooping eyebrows that "Jiaozi" had run back to the mountain.

Li Rui felt very sorry when he heard this.

He had never seen such an obedient wolf like Jiaozi, and he didn't expect that he would run away and not come back!

When Jiaozi got lost, the saddest person turned out to be Li Rui.

Seeing that he was upset, Lu Qingqing tried to comfort him but it was of no use, so she had no choice but to make his favorite stir-fried rabbit meat.

After eating a large plate, Li Rui finally stopped looking sad.

On the afternoon of the second day, Lu Tianming went to the village entrance again.

I opened the gate at the courtyard wall and walked out. I found that although some places on the road were still sticky, it did not hinder my journey.

After returning, Lu Tianming told everyone that they would set off at noon tomorrow.

Every family started to move their luggage onto carts, packing up everything at night so they wouldn't have to worry about it tomorrow.

Hide the food at the bottom and then pile all kinds of sundries on top.

Of course, everyone also included the most important bucket.

After tying it tightly with a rope, put the bucket lid on and then place a heavy object on top.

That night, every household in the yard had its own cart parked in front of the door.
