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

Chapter 392 Grit your teeth and persevere

Lu Laosan was running out of breath. When he turned around, he saw Sun Cui behind him holding her stomach in pain.

He was anxious, but thinking of the son in her belly, he gritted his teeth and pushed the cart back.

In desperation, he had to let Sun Cui get on the cart again.

Lu Laosan looked ahead and could barely see the cart at the end of the team. He pushed the cart forward with all his might.

The road was uneven and the whole cart was shaking violently.

Sun Cui held on to the cart tightly, fearing that she would be thrown off.

It was really painful to sit in such a bumpy car, and her stomach ached.

But looking at Lu Laosan's expression, she gritted her teeth and dared not say anything.

At this time, Lu Laosan had no intention of caring about her at all, and just concentrated on rushing forward.

The reason I let her get in the car just now was just for the son in her belly.

At the front of the team, Lu Tianming drove the carriage forward, looking back at the team behind from time to time to make sure the people pushing the carts did not fall too far behind.

Not far behind him, Qin Lang was driving an ox cart closely following Master Yan's carriage.

Lu Qingqing sat on the shaft of the cart and looked to the side, and saw mice running around in the woods next to her.

At this time, the smell of sulfur wafted over again, and this time the smell of sulfur was very strong.

After Lu Qingqing smelled it, she felt a little uncomfortable in her nose and throat, as if she was pricked by a small thorn, and she couldn't help coughing.

At this time, coughing sounds were heard one after another in the convoy.

Everyone smelled the odor and became anxious, but they didn't bother to say anything and just silently quickened their pace.

Lu Qingqing returned to the carriage and took out the scarf she had put away a few days ago.

After both of them put it on, they felt a little better.

The smell of sulfur dissipated after a while, but I couldn't run far before I smelled it again, and the smell became stronger and stronger.

Lu Qingqing felt uneasy, but there was nothing she could do but to continue on her way.

He ran until noon. Lu Tianming looked back and could still see the mountain.

He wanted to continue on his way, but the person pushing the cart behind him could not run any further.

Helplessly, everyone had to sit down and rest for a while, and eat something to replenish their energy.

As soon as the team stopped, the people pushing the carts were so tired that they sat down on the ground.

After running for half the morning, they were really exhausted.

Families with livestock are even busier providing water and food to their animals.

Only after taking care of the livestock can I take care of my own meals.

For lunch, no one even lit a fire.

There's no way. The firewood we brought has been burned out, and no one is in the mood to collect more firewood.

Each family ate the cold pancakes they had made earlier, and drank the cold water in the water bags.

It was not until everyone stopped to rest for a while that Lu Laosan and his wife arrived.

At this time, when the sun was at its hottest, Lu Laosan was chasing him urgently.

The cart was very heavy with people and belongings on it, and he was soaked in sweat when he got there.

As soon as he saw the convoy, he collapsed to the ground exhausted.

Sun Cui hurriedly got off the cart and took out the water bag to feed him water.

The rest of the team was busy with their own things and had no time to care about them.

In front, Lu Tianming was sitting on the ground chewing on a piece of bread, his eyes looking towards the mountain.

This morning, he also noticed what Lu Qingqing said.

In addition to the increasingly strong smell, there are also birds in the sky and rats on the roadside.

These phenomena all indicate that a disaster is about to happen.

The team stayed there for about a quarter of an hour. Seeing that most families had finished their meals, Lu Tianming shouted and called on everyone to continue their journey.

After stopping to rest for a while, the person pushing the cart felt even more tired.

But Lu Tianming didn't need to say much, they also smelled the scent coming over again.

Each family put on their scarves and set off again.

Lu Laosan had just swallowed the vegetable pancake in his mouth. Seeing this, he didn't even have time to drink his saliva, and hurriedly pushed the cart to leave.

Sun Cui even climbed onto the cart nimbly when Lu Tianming shouted that it was time to set off.

She now understood very well that if she dared to hold back, Lu Lao San might really abandon her.

As for the child in her belly, only the one who is born will be his son. If not, then it will be nothing.

Sun Cui knew all this clearly, so when she sat on the cart, she dared not move for fear of being criticized.

It's not like usual when he makes demands based on his stomach.

At noon, the sun was shining brightly in the sky.

At this moment, the smell of sulfur almost welded the area around them.

Lu Yuanfang was sitting in the carriage and felt dizzy and swollen because of the smell. Even his open eyes hurt a little.

Cui Shi was also feeling bad, but seeing her daughter and daughter-in-law's distress, she found two more face towels and handed them to them, comforting them:

"Both of you wrap yourself around this and close your eyes. The smell is a bit irritating to the eyes."

As she spoke, she found two more scarves and handed them to her husband and son sitting on the shaft of the cart outside.

The other families in the team also felt very uncomfortable.

The little kid couldn't bear this torture, and he cried out with tears in his eyes:

"Wow, Grandpa, my throat hurts, my eyes hurt too, it's so uncomfortable!"

Zhuzi's father felt so distressed when he saw his grandson like this.

But by now he had exhausted all his strength pushing the cart.

Fortunately, his family had little food. If they had more, he would probably be left behind like Lu Lao San.

At this moment, Zhuzi's father was thinking in a way that was trying to make the best of a bad situation.

He was breathing heavily and only had time to say a word of comfort.

"Close...your eyes and cover...your head with your scarf!"

This sentence took him a lot of effort.

Then, no matter how much the puppy cried, he ignored it and just stared at the pillar in front of him, afraid that he would fall.

The team ran until dark.

As it got closer to dark, the team slowed down completely.

The men pushing the carts at the back just moved their legs mechanically.

Zhuzi's father was completely unable to walk anymore. Worried that he would be left behind, he shouted to the front:

"Let's stop, we can't walk anymore!"

After hearing this, Lu Tianming turned around to look at the crowd, then looked at the almost invisible mountains in the distance, and could only shout:

"Everyone, hold on a little longer. When it gets completely dark, we'll take a break.

The further we run now, the more hope we have of surviving!"

After saying this, everyone had no choice but to grit their teeth and follow the people in front.

The team didn't stop until it was completely out of sight.

Everyone picked up some firewood and built a fire to boil water.

After that, they ate some baked bread, drank a few sips of water, and returned to their respective carts early to rest.

That night, everyone was worried that something might happen at night, so most of them did not take down their bedding.

Many families simply leaned against the cart, intending to sleep there for the night.

Lu Qingqing was still eating when she heard heavy snoring from the team.
