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

In the past, when the team stopped to rest, the men from each family would be so tired that they would lie down on the ground to rest after unloading the cart frames and feeding the livestock.

But at this moment, some men in the camp were leaning against the carriage, looking around from time to time.

The women of these families also looked a little nervous.

Lu Qingqing scanned the entire camp and found that those families with abnormal behavior were camping in one area.

Judging from the number of people, there must be about a hundred people.

Among them, the family that discovered that their water had been stolen in the morning was on the list.

The man from that family had an expression of uncontrollable anger on his face, and his eyes were extremely fierce.

Next to them, a few vigilant families seemed to sense something was wrong and quietly moved away.

But most people didn't notice it and were still quickly finishing their work as usual, hoping to lie down and rest as soon as possible.

Because of the powerful guards of the Sun family, these people have become accustomed to not arranging guards during lunch breaks.

Just as she was thinking, Lu Tianming came to her side and whispered:

"Daya, keep your weapon handy at noon and be on guard at all times!"

Lu Qingqing understood and knew that he must have noticed something was wrong.

During lunch break today, their team stopped at the corner of the camp just like yesterday, a little distance away from the houses next to them.

At this moment, although each family in the team had unloaded their frames, everyone was clearly on alert.

Sure enough, not long after the meal, the camp became chaotic.

Those who took action seemed to have chosen their targets long ago and rushed straight towards them.

The targeted people were surrounded and attacked while they were still asleep.

They stood up to resist in panic, but their bare hands were no match for the sharp blades and they had almost no power to resist.

The noise instantly woke up the people sleeping nearby who were unaware of the situation.

When they saw this, they hurriedly got up, harnessed their horses, and shouted to their families to stay away.

As for those families that were targeted, the men who were able to fight were chopped down at the very beginning.

The remaining elderly, weak, women and children were either knocked down or hacked. They shouted for help from the Sun family guards.

However, the head of the Sun family stood far away behind a group of guards, watching the situation here coldly.

The guards in front surrounded the Sun family, holding big swords and looking around vigilantly.

Judging from the situation, anyone who wants to take advantage of the situation will be killed by their swords first.

On the other side, Lu Tianming had already commanded his team to quickly form a defense as soon as the fight started.

At this moment, everyone was nervously guarding the team and their own belongings.

At this time, the battle is still going on.

Those families who were robbed knew that if their belongings were lost, they would not be able to survive.

While the men were fighting desperately, a woman with quick reaction quickly took the water bag and valuables from her home.

Just as she was about to call her man and escape, she heard his screams before she turned around.

Turning around in panic, she saw her husband fall down. The woman didn't care about her sadness, and pulled her child to the front of the Sun family guards, kneeling down and begging them for protection.

Although the head of the Sun family looked coldly at the battle scene not far away, he did not drive away the orphan and widow in front of him.

The woman's confused mind instantly understood that not driving them away meant she was willing to help them!

After the woman realized what was happening, she pulled her child closer to the guards in surprise.

But when he looked back at the battlefield, the joy on his face disappeared.

Her husband's body was still on the ground, and the thieves nearby were looting her family's belongings and buckets from the carriage.

As she watched, the woman couldn't stop crying.

In the camp, people kept bringing their families and children to the Sun family or other large teams.

Some of these teams were driven away because they were afraid that they would cause trouble for their own families.

There are also people like the head of the Sun family, who do not actively protect but do not drive away either.

Of course, there are also those who are kind enough to include others in the protection of their own team.

As for those who were chasing us, I don’t know if they had discussed it beforehand, but they basically didn’t get close to the teams that were armed and had a large number of people.

Because the attackers had planned this battle in advance and were ruthless, the entire battle was over within a quarter of an hour.

After stealing the water and silver, those people stared warily at the other teams in the camp who were on high alert and slowly retreated.

Seeing that the Sun family and other families had no intention of taking action, he carefully drove the carriage out of the camp and galloped forward.

After the group ran away, the first cry was heard in the camp.

This cry was like turning on a switch, and the crying in the camp became more and more frequent.

Those who survived quickly ran back to their own carriages, either hugging their husbands' bodies and crying, or checking what was left in their carriages.

Most of those who survived were able to escape with their belongings and find shelter with the team, and were able to survive with their families.

Although I felt sad at this moment, I still forced myself to continue packing.

When someone in the family died, they would find a shovel and dig a hole to bury the body.

This time, there were several more women in the team who were raising their children alone.

They didn't even have time to be sad. After simply comforting their crying children, they were busy asking people to teach them how to drive.

If you want to survive with your child, you must keep up with the Sun family's team.

At this time, in the Sun family team.

Mrs. Sun held her frightened daughter in her arms and patted her back to comfort her.

When she thought of the bloody and flying scenes she had just seen, she couldn't help but close her eyes and silently recite the mantra for rebirth.

This mantra for rebirth is recited for those who have passed away, and also for her husband's inaction just now.

I hope that the souls of the dead can be reincarnated well and don’t blame them.

She had lived for so many years, so she naturally knew that the decision her husband made was right for the Sun family.

But after so many years of worshipping Buddha, she also has her own understanding of cause and effect.

After Mrs. Sun thought about it for a hundred times, she finally just sighed silently.

Because of what had just happened, there was a strong smell of blood in the camp.

Today, before the third hour, the Sun family team set out early.

This time when they set out again, the Sun family guards intentionally lengthened the distance between themselves and other teams.

The people behind also understood the situation and followed silently.

After a hasty study session, the women were forced to bite the bullet and stumble their way out in their carriages.

Due to lack of experience, two carriages almost had an accident on the road.

In the end, they had no choice but to pay the person who had taught them before to help drive the cart.

After what happened at noon, the people on the road became even more silent.

When we stopped to set up camp again in the evening, it was obvious that everyone in the team was more cautious.

There was a considerable distance between each campsite, and those on duty were looking around vigilantly.

And those families where only women and children were left secretly got in touch with each other at some point.

Several women gathered together, helped each other, and took turns to keep watch.

Maybe they are still wary of each other, but the situation forces them to stay together so that they can have a better chance of surviving with their children!
