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

However, in his impression, Prince Jing's fiefdom seemed to be quite large.

If they want to escape, it will probably take some time.

Now that Prince Jing is recruiting soldiers everywhere, the first to suffer are the cities and nearby villages.

Therefore, not only could they not enter the city, they had to stay away from it.

The imperial court’s official roads connected various cities, and the carriages traveled very fast.

They walked south along the official road, and it wouldn't be long before they reached Yongyuan County.

I guess they are capturing soldiers near each city.

But if you don't take the official road, the carriage cannot run on ordinary roads at all.

For a moment, Lu Tianming was in a dilemma.

After thinking for a while, I decided to take the official road.

The official road is fast after all, and the most important thing for them now is to leave Prince Jing's fiefdom as soon as possible.

The only thing they can do now is to be more careful when they are approaching the county town.

If you find any abnormality, evacuate quickly.

Thinking of this, Lu Tianming put all his attention back on driving the carriage. He whipped the horse whip hard, and the carriage sped up even faster.

At the back, Lu Qingqing was sitting on the shaft of the cart with a bitter face, driving the cart.

The speed was so fast that she felt her butt was about to be broken into pieces.

As for the seat cushion under my butt, I can only say that it is still too thin.

She secretly decided that the first thing she would do when the car stopped was to drag out the bedding in the car and make a more comfortable mattress.

However, the convoy continued running until dark.

However, Lu Tianming saw that the moonlight was bright tonight, so he lit a torch and continued on his way, only slowing down the carriage slightly.

We spent the entire afternoon on the road, except for stopping to go to the toilet.

Many people in the team complained bitterly, but no one dared to mention stopping to rest.

Ever since he learned that Prince Jing was arresting soldiers, Lu Tianming's expression became very serious, and no one else dared to say a word.

Someone in the team was very carsick and vomited so much in the car that he almost fainted.

The family could only prepare a wooden basin and let her vomit in it.

They ran until late at night, and Lu Tianming saw that the horse could no longer hold on.

Then he got off the official road, turned into a small road next to it, and found a secluded place to stop.

After the team stopped, the men and women quickly jumped off the carriage and went to the toilet in two completely opposite directions.

The carriage had been running for so long that many people were feeling very uncomfortable.

Children are better off as they can just use the urine bucket in the car, but adults are too embarrassed to do so.

Lu Tianming stayed on guard at the spot until everyone came back one after another, then he went to the toilet where the men had just gone.

When Lu Qingqing came back, Qin Lang was already unloading the frame.

This horse hasn't been tired for a long time. After pulling the carriage for so long today, it was so tired that it was panting.

Seeing this, Lu Qingqing hurriedly prepared food and water to feed it.

At this time, other families in the team were also feeding the horses.

The families who had just bought horses were afraid that something might go wrong when they saw how tired the horses were.

Seeing that others had scooped a lot of water to feed the horses, he suppressed his pain and scooped half a bucket of water to feed them.

As for food and fodder, they carried a lot of it, fearing that the horses would not have enough to eat.

You know, now that they are on the road again, they are worried that they won’t be able to replenish their water along the way, so they are very stingy when it comes to drinking water themselves.

It can feed half a bucket of water, which is really a lot.

Before resting, each family found a piece of open space and spread oilcloth to collect dew.

After fleeing famine for so long, they have become accustomed to doing this.

Prepare in advance and be prepared.

Nothing happened all night.

When we set out again the next morning, there were a lot fewer carriages on the official road.

Their all-night journey paid off, as most of the families were left behind.

However, Lu Tianming did not relax, and the carriage was still moving very fast.

Near noon, the team saw the city wall ahead from afar.

Lu Tianming stopped the carriage when he saw the city wall.

He was worried that the soldiers guarding the city wall would see them and cause trouble.

He led the team off the official road and onto a small path on the side.

He chose a high ground with a wider view, half-crouched there, and secretly observed the Yongyuan County not far away.

At this time, the county town gates were closed and there were no refugees under the city walls.

I don’t know whether they were arrested or ran away after getting the news.

After observing silently for a while, he saw soldiers walking near the battlements of the city wall.

Lu Tianming felt nervous as he stood on this high ground and observed the surrounding terrain.

After observing silently for a while, he finally decided on a route that bypassed the county town.

This road starts from the small path in front of you, passes through the nearby villages, and finally bypasses the county town and returns to the official road.

When the team set out again, their speed slowed down.

Not only are these country roads bumpy and uneven, but in some places they are so narrow that even a carriage cannot pass through.

In desperation, everyone had to find something to prop themselves up and barely get through.

In the villages we passed, most of the houses were locked from the outside.

The few people who stayed in the village were mostly elderly.

When they saw their convoy, they first panicked and dodged everywhere.

Seeing that the people in the convoy ignored them, they hid in a place.

They waited until the convoy passed before returning to their respective homes.

We passed through several villages in a row and the situation was similar.

Lu Tianming knew the situation in Yongyuan County without asking.

The team made a big circle and asked a few villagers for help before they finally bypassed the county town and returned to the official road.

Not long after the convoy set out on the official road, they began to meet people on the road one after another.

Most of these people were pushing carts with large and small luggage tied to them.

Often a group of people travel together and look like villagers from the same village.

When they first heard the sound of the carriage, they panicked and hid everywhere.

When they saw that the people in the carriage were not wearing official uniforms, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Tianming ignored them and concentrated on driving, overtaking group of villagers after group.

But as he met more and more people, he began to feel nervous.

Judging from the number of people, Yongyuan County must be very strict in recruiting soldiers.

This is really not good news!

He waited until it was completely dark before he stopped the carriage on a small road away from the official road and prepared to rest.

The horses from each family have been running all day and are really tired.

The horses I had been raising were in better condition, but the ones I had just bought were so tired that they were foaming at the mouths.

Everyone felt sorry for them when they saw this and fed them with plenty of food, fodder and water.

After taking care of the horses, he started to prepare his own food.

Because the team had been traveling for the past two days, they had not encountered any water source.

So although each family was generous with their livestock, they themselves were reluctant to drink much.
