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

Chapter 391 It’s clearly the smell of sulfur!

Lu Qingqing was puzzled and sniffed carefully, but she couldn't smell the scent anymore.

She looked up and around, but didn't notice anything unusual.

At this time, Lu Yuanfang opposite finished washing the clothes in his hands. When he looked up, he saw her looking to the right rear, so he also looked in that direction.

There were only trees that had just sprouted, and there was no unusual movement.

"Daya, what's wrong?"

Lu Qingqing was interrupted and asked Lu Yuanfang:

"Sister Yuan Fang, do you smell anything?"

Lu Yuanfang's nose twitched slightly and he shook his head.

Seeing this, Lu Qingqing thought she was just overthinking it and continued washing clothes.

At this time, the men had also finished drawing water.

Qin Lang ran over and said something, then followed the others down the mountain.

It was not until the third round of people fetching water came up the mountain that Lu Qingqing and Tian Funiang finished washing the clothes in their hands.

Seeing that the others were still washing, they took their clothes and went down the mountain first.

As she walked down, Lu Qingqing discovered that there were many more insects on the ground, all crawling down the mountain.

She felt a little uneasy, but couldn't tell what was wrong.

She wanted everyone to leave quickly.

But after searching for so many days, we only found this one water source. I'm afraid everyone won't leave unless they fill it with water.

She began to look around, trying to find something wrong.

But until we returned to the convoy, we didn't find any other abnormalities.

When the people who stayed in the convoy saw them coming down, the remaining women also carried the basins up the mountain, leaving only Sun Cui, who was pregnant, behind.

When Tianfu Niang saw her, she naturally didn't look happy.

She chirped with the woman next to her for a while, and when she saw Lu Qingqing looking at the mountain alone, she came over.

"Da Ya, what are you looking at?

Let me tell you, your third aunt is really useless!

Everyone works even when they are pregnant, but she is the only one who is so pampered.

I heard that all the clothes in her house were taken away by your third uncle to be washed.

I have lived for so many years, but I have never seen any old man washing clothes!"

As she was speaking, she suddenly remembered that she had seen Qin Lang washing clothes before. She felt a little embarrassed for a moment and quickly made up for it:

"Of course, there are also those who love their wives, like your Qin Lang, he is a good boy!"

Lu Qingqing was interrupted by her and started chatting for a few minutes.

After she left, most of the confusion I had just felt disappeared.

The team will leave after fetching water. It will take at most half an hour to finish the job.

Lu Qingqing figured it out, so she went back to her cart and hung the washed clothes on the roof of the cart.

The sun is shining brightly now, so if you hang it up early, it will dry faster.

While waiting, Lu Qingqing noticed several groups of birds flying overhead.

At this time, Lu Qingqing also smelled the rotten eggs at the foot of the mountain.

This time, not only she smelled it, but everyone else in the team also smelled it.

"What's that smell? It stinks!"

"Isn't it? It smells like rotten eggs, but it's also a little different."

Listening to the discussions of everyone in the team, Lu Qingqing suddenly reacted.

This pungent smell is clearly the smell of sulfur!

Combined with the insects on the mountain and the flocks of birds that just flew by, Lu Qingqing's heart skipped a beat.

She ran quickly up the hill.

In the team, Tian Fu Niang and the others saw her suddenly running up the mountain and asked hurriedly:

"Daya, what are you doing up the mountain?"

"Something's going to happen! You guys pack your bags, we'll leave as soon as I get back!"

Lu Qingqing shouted as she ran up the mountain.

Then he ran up the mountain without looking back.

Although the people at the foot of the mountain were confused, their trust in Lu Qingqing after fleeing for so long made them pack up their luggage.

Lu Qingqing was anxious and did not stop for a moment on this trip up the mountain.

Halfway up the climb, I felt my legs were sore and my deep breaths left a noticeable rusty taste in my throat.

But this was obviously not the time to rest, so she gritted her teeth and continued to climb.

Fortunately, the people in the team started to walk back at this time.

After climbing for a while, she saw Lu Tianming, Qin Lang and others in front of her.

"Uncle Tianming, hurry down the mountain! This volcano is about to erupt!"

Lu Tianming didn't understand what she meant by volcanic eruption.

But seeing her anxious face, he hurriedly called on the people behind to catch up, and everyone quickly rushed down the mountain.

Lu Qingqing explained as she walked down that near this mountain, a dragon might turn over and then lava would erupt.

Lu Tianming listened for a while and understood.

This mountain may experience a landslide and flames next.

He had seen this phenomenon in a book before, and the earth dragon turning over was already very scary.

If fire spewed out from the cracks in the ground again, he felt a little horrified when he thought about the scene.

But if we talk about this landslide and flames, I'm afraid most people don't know what it is, so he said:

"Hurry up, don't worry about the water in the bucket. We can't stay in this mountain anymore. The earth dragon is about to turn over!"

Everyone had experienced the earth dragon turning over before, and recalling the horror of that time, they all quickened their pace.

Along the way, most of the water in the bucket poured out.

But no one cared about the water. If they didn't need the bucket later, they would have wanted to throw it away so that they could escape quickly.

When everyone hurried down the mountain, the people who stayed behind had already helped pack up everyone's belongings.

All the livestock in the entire caravan have been harnessed and even the direction has been changed.

Lu Tianming hurriedly jumped onto the carriage and shouted:

"The earth dragon is about to turn over, everyone hurry up and leave!"

As he said this, he cracked the whip and drove away quickly in the carriage.

When the people behind heard this, they hurried to follow.

The most anxious people at this time were those pushing carts.

In order to speed up the process, the elderly and women in each household got off the carts, and the men only needed to push the belongings on the carts.

But even so, it is difficult for a person pushing a cart to catch up with the speed of a horse-drawn carriage.

Seeing that they were being left behind, the women from each family began to think of ways to carry everything they could on the carts.

Then, people from each family followed the cart and helped push it.

Others tie a rope to the front of the car, with one person pulling from the front and the other pushing from the back.

In this way, the speed is greatly improved.

At the back of the team, Lu Laosan saw that his family was left behind for a distance and was so anxious that he was about to get angry.

He suddenly stopped the car, walked forward and pulled Sun Cui and said:

"Come down and walk carefully, stay beside me. We can't be the only ones left behind!"

Sun Cui looked ahead and saw that Zhuzi's father, who was at the end of the team, was dozens of meters away from them.

Seeing the boss's unhappy face, he had no choice but to get off the cart.

After Sun Cui came down, Lu Laosan also increased his speed and trotted forward to catch up.

But Sun Cui was pregnant, so even if she tried to go as fast as possible, she could only barely keep up with the speed of the cart.

After running for a while, she felt a little stomachache, and was afraid that something might happen to the baby in her belly, so she hurriedly shouted to the front:

"Boss, my stomach hurts!"
