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

Near noon, when the team stopped, Mrs. Sun sent someone to invite Lu Qingqing.

The weather was even hotter today, and Lu Qingqing thought that her illness had not yet healed, so she hurried over.

When she got there, she found that Mrs. Sun's complexion had returned to normal. She called her over just to talk to her.

Sitting next to Mrs. Sun was Miss Sun, who had been waiting in the tent early.

When he saw her coming over, he greeted her with some joy.

The mother and daughter of the Sun family both looked dignified and gentle, and their temperament was somewhat similar to that of Lu Qingqing when she first met Cui.

The three of them chatted for a few sentences, and then Miss Sun turned the conversation to the big knife at Lu Qingqing's waist.

Mrs. Sun knew that her daughter was a naughty girl and loved to read novels about chivalrous men.

On weekdays, she is stricter because of the rules.

But at this moment, it was rare for my daughter to meet a girl as skilled in martial arts as Lu Qingqing.

After a moment's thought, he decided not to detain her any longer.

When Lu Qingqing heard Miss Sun's question, she picked out some of the things she could say and told them.

After hearing this, Sun Huirong's eyes brightened.

She was chatting with Lu Qingqing enthusiastically, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Lu Qingqing was full of admiration.

What Lu Qingqing said seemed like a completely different world to her.

In that world, there weren't so many rules and etiquette to constrain her.

In that world, there is the world she longs for.

The two of them only chatted for half an hour, but Sun Huirong already regarded Lu Qingqing as a friend.

If Madam Sun didn't want to talk to Lu Qingqing, she would have taken her back to her tent.

Show her new friends the notebooks filled with "jianghu" stories that she usually treasures.

In Lu Qingqing's opinion, this young lady of the Sun family was well protected by Mrs. Sun and was quite innocent.

This is very rare in this era of disasters.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Lu Qingqing firmly refused the invitation of the Sun family mother and son to stay for dinner and left the tent.

As soon as I walked out of the tent, I saw Qin Lang running towards me.

He had been sitting under the shade of a tree waiting for her, feeling somewhat unhappy that the Sun family always went to look for Daya.

Daya doesn’t even have time to talk to him!

When she came out, he held her hand with his warm hands and walked back with his eyes curved in a smile.

He was afraid that Daya would be called back again, so he asked her to sit in the tent and started to prepare water and food.

Seeing that his face was flushed with heat, Lu Qingqing went into the car and took out a water bag filled with space water.

Although the water in this space can relieve heat, people still have to bear the discomfort after suffering from heatstroke by themselves.

The temperature is rising too quickly and many people's bodies haven't adapted yet.

Among those on the road, many felt dizzy and nauseous due to the heat.

Fortunately, the Sun family avoided the hottest time of the year when they were on their journey.

Therefore, no one else was as seriously ill as Mrs. Sun and fainted.

After getting the water bag, Lu Qingqing called Qin Lang over and wanted him to drink more water.

Qin Lang was very obedient. As soon as he was called, he came quickly.

Maybe it was because he was too hot, he picked up the water bag and gulped down a few big gulps. Water drops flowed down the corners of his mouth and slowly slid across his Adam's apple which moved up and down.

Lu Qingqing took a look and felt her face getting hot for some reason.

After looking away, the big palm-leaf fan in his hand did not stop.

Spring is such an exciting season.

After dinner, the Sun family sent a servant to inform them that they would set out again at 1:05 pm today.

Lu Qingqing looked at the position of the sun and saw that they could rest for more than an hour, so she called Qin Lang to go to bed.

After lunch break, the team set off again.

Because the rest time was too long, the Sun family's carriage intentionally increased its speed.

However, the shortened travel time has affected the progress of the journey. I am afraid I won’t be able to go too far today.

At the front of the team, the eldest brother of the Hu family looked at the endless mountains in front of him and couldn't help feeling worried.

He waited for several days while he waited for someone at the dock.

Unfortunately, the weather was so hot that they had to slow down.

But at the rate they are traveling now, they might be more than ten days later than the time they told their family.

I guess my family must be worried!

Fortunately, my brother-in-law's family brought enough food, so I didn't have to worry about going hungry.

But it will be hard for my sister and nephews who are traveling with me.

A few days later, the sun was shining brightly.

Lu Qingqing's face was flushed with heat, and she used a hand towel to wipe the sweat beads falling from her face.

Hold the reins in one hand and look at the road carefully.

At this moment, she had already set up the straw shed that was used to protect against rain on the carriage.

But this time it is used to block the sun.

There's no way, the temperature has been getting higher and higher these days.

It was fine when we were rushing on the road in the morning, but by mid-morning, the air was distorted by the sun.

She felt that the air she breathed in burned her nasal cavity.

Fortunately, they were driving a horse-drawn carriage. If they had walked, their feet would have been burned if there were a hole in their straw sandals.

Lu Qingqing even doubted that an egg could be cooked if it was cracked on a stone on the roadside.

It was hot, but the several river bends they found in the past two days were almost dry.

At first, the servants of the Sun family disliked the muddy water left at the bottom of the bay and refused to take the dirty water.

But today, when even that little muddy bay could not be seen, everyone became completely anxious.

During lunch break, the head of the Sun family and Mrs. Sun hurriedly found the eldest brother of the Hu family to ask where they could get water nearby.

They learned that if they continued walking, they would come across a market town in about two days.

The head of the Sun family checked their remaining buckets and found that the remaining water was enough to get to the market town.

But looking at the current situation, I’m afraid that when we get to the market town, there won’t be any water there.

Now, this water is in the bathtub. Even if you are careful not to spill it, it will still evaporate and become less.

Therefore, during the lunch break, he asked his servants to take their water bags to get water.

The head of the Sun family reminded them in advance that they should drink the water sparingly as it would last them three days.

Lu Qingqing watched from afar and saw that each person only got half a water bag's worth of water.

As for how much is left in the Sun family's bucket, it is unknown.

Seeing this, the rest of the people following the Sun family team also tried to find ways to preserve the water in sealed containers.

The people in Lu Qingqing's team had experienced water shortages, and these measures had already been used.

Not only that, as soon as the temperature started to rise, they began to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.

The oilcloth that had been with them for a long time came in handy again.

Although the water collected is not much, it is better to have some income than nothing.

As for the muddy bay they encountered before, they scooped up the dirty water that others were unwilling to take and stored it separately.

During the rest period, let the water settle and remove the dirt.

Leave some cleaner water, boil it, and let it cool down before putting it away.

Not only do they save water themselves, but they also only give the horses a small amount of water.

Therefore, at this time, each family in the team still has about half a bucket of water left in addition to what has been put into the container.

Lu Qingqing sat under the shade of a tree, watching her two horses chewing the hay on the ground.

Because they were not fed enough water, foam formed at the mouths of both horses.

Judging from the current situation, the water shortage may not be resolved in just a few days.
