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

Qin Lang and Lu Qingqing got up and went to the door with their weapons, and shouted through the door,

"It's so late, who is it?"

I heard a little girl's trembling voice say at the gate outside the yard:

"Sister Daya, it's me, Erya. I'm here to tell you something. Li Chengcai and a scoundrel from the village are trying to harm you."

When Grandma Qin heard this, she lit the oil lamp in the house and looked through the crack in the door. There was no one in the yard.

He asked Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang to open the door, and went to the yard with weapons. He climbed up the ladder and saw that there were indeed only Erya and a little girl at the door.

Then he opened the door and let her in.

Erya was wearing thin clothes and was shivering with cold after going out at night.

Seeing this, Lu Qingqing hurriedly poured her a bowl of hot sugar water and watched her drink a few sips before she recovered.

"Sister Daya, I haven't had the chance to come and tell you the news these past few days. They went to the Li family a few days ago to discuss it, and they said they would come at midnight tomorrow."

"They've also prepared smokescreens and said five people are coming. You better be careful."

After Erya finished telling the story, Lu Qingqing thought about it. The thief who came that night was thin and not as tall as the Lu brothers.

I guessed that since they failed last time, they found new helpers. These Lu brothers are quite strong.

Before Lu Qingqing could think about it, Erya got up and went back.

She sneaked out while the Li family was asleep. Chengcai's mother often got up in the middle of the night to urinate, and she was afraid of being discovered, so she had to go back quickly.

When Grandma Qin saw Erya shivering from the cold, she called her and took out a small cotton coat from the cupboard.

"Good boy, thank you for taking the risk to come out and tell us the news. These are clothes that are too small for you at home, please don't mind."

Erya was a little stunned. She looked at the cotton coat but didn't dare to take it. Lu Qingqing hurriedly took the clothes and put them on her.

"When you go back, wear this underneath. If the Li family finds out and asks about it, just say your mother gave it to you."

Then he went to the stove and took out a few steamed buns and stuffed them into Erya's mouth.

"Erya, you've helped me a lot this time. I'll thank you very much after this is over."

After Erya left, the three members of the Qin family started to discuss.

Five strong young men are coming tomorrow, and I’m afraid the three of them can’t handle it, so they have to find some help.

After discussing for a long time, they decided to ask the old village chief's family, Zhuzi's family and the village chief's family to help.

Zhuzi is quite skilled, and the old village chief's youngest son Lu Tianxin is also a strong man. Add to that the traps, and they will be almost there.

The village chief is mainly here to serve as a witness so that he can catch the culprit in the act.

The next morning, Qin Lang and Lu Qingqing went to the village.

It's still very cold at this time, and almost no one in the village goes out.

After inviting the three people back to the Qin family and telling them what happened, the village chief didn't believe it at first. How could those hooligans in the village have such courage?

After hearing Grandma Qin say that this was indeed the case, the village chief began to believe it a little. He would wait and see in the evening to find out.

Then, the village chief reacted and became angry again.

These street urchins are just a few bad apples who come to ruin the reputation of the village.

It's not easy for him to be a village chief. He encountered these bad things just after taking office.

Because they were afraid of being discovered by Lu Xingwang and others, the village chief and his two companions never went back since they came in the morning and stayed at Qin's house until midnight.

At one o'clock in the morning, screams like a pig being slaughtered suddenly came from the Qin family's yard, and the people in the house who were on high alert reacted instantly.

At the trap in the yard, Lu Xingwang looked at Wang Kangshi who had fallen inside and was still wailing, and whispered to him to keep quiet.

The person inside couldn't help howling in pain, so Lu Xingwang simply ignored him and told the people behind to come in quickly and catch up.

Wang Deben looked at his father who was screaming in pain in the trap and wanted to pull him out.

But when he pulled it, the tip of the bamboo scratched the wound, making it hurt even more.

In desperation, Wang Deben gritted his teeth and promised his father that he would definitely avenge his father, then quickly caught up with the three people in front.

Seeing such a big commotion outside but no reaction from inside, Lu Xingwang thought the people inside were scared.

He asked the others to pry open the door panel, while he went to the window of Grandma Qin's room, poked a hole in the window paper, and found that there was a thick mattress blocking the window inside.

As I continued to turn over the mattress, I heard a shout from inside the room.

"There are really some little bastards who dare to cause trouble!"

At this time, a door opened and someone came out with an oil lamp.

Before Lu Qingqing in the house could stop him, she saw the village chief carrying an oil lamp and going out.

Wang Deben at the door thought it was the boy from the Qin family who came out, so he chopped him with a knife.

When he saw clearly that the person in front of him was the village chief, he could no longer control his strength.

Fortunately, Qin Lang pulled the village chief and avoided hitting the shoulder, but he still left a wound on his arm.

"Hiss, it hurts so much! You bastards, you really dare to attack me! I think you want to be expelled from the clan and kicked out of Lujia Village!"

The village chief covered his arm, hissed in pain and cursed.

When Lu Xingwang and his companions saw the village chief, they were also dumbfounded.

The village chief's arm hurt so much that he started yelling and scolding, and the people he scolded stopped saying anything.

When Lu Xingwang heard the village chief asking Qin Lang and others to come and tie them up, a fierce look flashed across his face.

"It seems like this matter can't be resolved peacefully, brothers. If you're caught, you'll be expelled. It's freezing out here, and stepping outside will mean death."

"Why not just shut these people up once and for all? Then we brothers can be safe."

Lu Xingshun was the first to obey his elder brother's words, and he took the knife in his hand and chopped at the people at the door.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Qin Lang pulled the village chief at the door to the side, and took the knife to fight with Lu Xingshun.

Zhuzi and Lu Tianxin saw several people approaching with knives, so they raised their sickles to defend themselves.

Only the village chief had an arm injury and was unable to react in time.

Seeing Wang Deben rushing towards him with a knife, the knife was getting closer and closer to him, and he retreated in panic.

Lu Qingqing had already grasped the bow and arrow when the village chief was chopped.

Seeing that the village chief was in danger, he quickly took out an arrow, pulled the string, and shot the arrow at Wang Deben's arm.

Now Wang Deben's other arm was also injured. The arrow pierced through his arm directly, and blood spurted out of the wound.

The knife fell to the ground with a clang, and Wang Deben rolled on the ground in pain.

Seeing this, Lu Xingwang secretly cursed Lu Qingqing as a waste, but he did not dare to look down on her anymore.

He planned to get rid of this remote danger first, so he ran over here with a knife in hand.

Seeing that Lu Qingqing was in danger, Qin Lang used his sword to chop Lu Xingshun's sword away and ran towards Lu Qingqing.

It was four against three on the scene. Zhuzi stepped forward to block Lu Xingshun, and the two started fighting.

Although Zhuzi had some skills, his weapon was not good enough. He couldn't use the sickle in his hand well, so he had to use his clever strength to support himself.

Lu Tianxin faced Li Chengcai who was holding a knife, but Li Chengcai did not dare to take action, so the two of them just confronted each other.

Lu Qingqing saw Lu Xingwang running towards her and was about to meet Qin Lang.

In such a tense situation, he had only one thought in his mind: to get rid of Lu Xingwang.

She put aside all distractions, quickly took the arrow and pulled the string, this time aiming at Lu Xingwang's heart.

Under the tension, the adrenaline surged, and it seemed that even the strength had increased a lot.

The bowstring was almost fully drawn, and an arrow was shot out, flying towards Lu Xingwang who was running towards here with a "whoosh".

An arrow pierced his heart. Lu Xingwang kept running forward, but the expression on his face changed from fierce to disbelief, and he fell to the ground.

The arrow feathers on his body were still shaking.
