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

Chapter 383 The Empty Village

At this time, the onlookers had watched this fight and had a deeper understanding of Tian Funiang's fighting ability.

In particular, people like the Queen Mother, who didn't know her well before, were enlightened and secretly told their family members not to provoke her in the future.

Seeing that even the guards came over to watch the fun, Lu Tianming asked everyone to disperse and go back to their own business.

During this lunch, except for Mr. Lu and his wife, everyone else was in a good mood.

As for Lu Laosan, when he brought Sun Cui back to his cart, he felt even more pain on his face!

It's easy to imagine that he was badly teased by that old woman.

Seeing that he had a cold face, Sun Cui carefully took a towel and came over to him.

"Boss, are you okay? Come, let me wipe you off."

As he said this, he brought the wet towel close to the wound.

"hiss!"

Lu Laosan gasped in pain.

"You want to hurt me to death, your hands are so heavy!"

Seeing this, Sun Cui was so frightened that she dared not say a word and just huddled to the side, holding her stomach.

Seeing her aggrieved look with her big belly, Lu Laosan felt that he couldn't breathe and was choking.

After a while, he sighed and said:

"You've never been to Lujia Village before, so you don't know what's going on there.

Tian Fu Niang, that old woman, has always been a person who never suffers any loss. Even my mother didn't dare to provoke her before.

Last time with Daya, we offended her.

This time, you...”

Seeing that he seemed to be blaming her, Sun Cui hurriedly said:

"Boss, they just bullied me together, not me..."

Before she could finish, Lu Lao San interrupted:

"I know, but I'm on the road now.

The people in the team don't treat us well, they all side with them.

If we were kicked out of the team, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to survive.

Think about the refugees you met before, they were all extremely vicious."

Sun Cui thought about the looks of those people and shuddered with fear.

"Boss, then we're not going to do anything?"

Lu Lao San glanced around and saw that everyone was far away, so he lowered his voice and said:

"Now, let's be patient.

There will always be a chance to redeem yourself for the grievances you have suffered!

Do you believe me? "

Sun Cui's face showed joy and she handed him the vegetable pancake beside her.

"Of course I believe you, let's not talk about them!

Boss, this pancake is still hot, please eat it quickly!"

Lu Laosan nodded, took the vegetable pancake and took a bite, and a bitter taste spread in his mouth.

He chewed it briefly and swallowed it hard, his throat hurting.

Sun Cui, who was standing beside her, munched on a pancake while picking up the cloth bag on the cart and boasting:

"Boss, look, these are the wild vegetables I just dug.

I'll chop it up and make vegetable pancakes, which will last me a while."

When Lu Laosan saw this, he just nodded silently.

In fact, he really didn't want to eat this vegetable pancake anymore.

Mingming still had a lot of food at home, even more than some families in the team.

But as a wife, I have to be frugal.

He went to pick up vegetable cakes just now, but saw it.

What other people eat is real food, but you just eat this inedible vegetable pancake.

But think about the big fight they had when I exchanged grain for dried vegetables.

He swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Not long after the meal, the team set off again.

Soon, we arrived at the village where we bought pork.

But Yongfu Village today looks completely different from the last time they came.

Although there were no rotting corpses near the village entrance, the entire village looked deserted.

Looking from the main road, the doors of the houses you can see are all half-open.

When the wind blew, the door swayed.

When Lu Tianming saw this, he just sighed silently, and the team continued on their journey at the original speed.

After the convoy passed, Li Rui was still looking back.

Qu Hong patted Li Rui's shoulder, and they looked at each other in silence.

They all knew in their hearts that the villagers they had seen when they came to buy pigs were probably gone!

But the villages we encountered next, almost without exception, all had this scene.

Everyone was confused. Where had the people in the village gone?

If there were bandits coming to rob like in Linshan Village, there should be corpses.

Nowadays, it seems like all the people in these villages have disappeared, which is really creepy.

Lu Tianming, who was at the front of the team, was also thinking about this matter, but without any clues, he really had no idea.

In the end, I had to focus on getting on the road.

Although it is spring now, the temperature at night is still not high.

If we sleep outdoors, we will all suffer from the cold.

Hopefully, by dark, the team will find a suitable place to stay.

In the following time, Lu Tianming controlled the speed of the carriage, and the team maintained a relatively fast speed and moved forward.

As it was getting dark, a town appeared in front of the team.

This town was not as desolate as the villages ahead. From a distance, they could see smoke rising above the town.

Most people in the team were very happy.

Lu Tianfu looked at the town ahead and moved closer to Shi Xiuer, his voice filled with ambiguity.

"Xiu'er, if there's an inn in the town ahead, we can book two rooms.

Let Mom and Little Stone live in one room, and we two can live in another."

Shi Xiu'er understood what he meant and subconsciously looked at her mother-in-law. Seeing that she didn't look at her, she glared at the dishonest man in her family.

Since arriving in Linshan Village, the family of four has been living in one room and sleeping on the same kang.

At night, Shi Xiu'er was afraid of waking up her mother-in-law, so she always refused Lu Tianfu.

The young couple hasn't been together for a long time.

In front of the cart, Tian Funiang stretched her neck and looked away, pretending not to hear anything.

In fact, she heard what her son said, but it was very embarrassing.

If her daughter-in-law found out that she had heard it, both of them would probably be embarrassed.

Besides, she agreed with her son.

Although Xiao Shitou is very well-behaved, she still hopes that they can have a child soon.

Of course, they were not the only family in the team that was happy, many people were talking excitedly.

Discovering the town meant they no longer had to sleep in the wild at night.

It would be even better if the shops selling things were still open, as we could replenish some supplies.

In the team, Lu Qingqing was not as optimistic as others.

She always felt that something was wrong with this town.

Thinking about the empty villages she encountered in the afternoon, her heart was filled with alarm.

At this time, Lu Tianming, who was at the front of the team, also realized this problem.

He quickly informed everyone to keep quiet.

At the same time, he stopped the carriage, held the knife tightly in his hand, and carefully observed the situation ahead.

Seeing him like this, everyone in the team raised their weapons vigilantly.

Just at this moment, several refugees appeared at the entrance of the town ahead. When they saw their team's carts, their eyes lit up.

But when he saw so many people in the team, he turned around and ran back to the town.

Seeing this, Lu Tianming almost didn't hesitate, quickly pulled the reins and shouted:

"Everyone turn around and go back, quickly!"

Having said that, he turned the carriage around and prepared to leave.
