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

At that time, a woman in a village was bullied, and the man of that family led the clansmen to seek justice.

The two sides started fighting after a disagreement, and someone was accidentally killed in the melee.

Because both sides were fighting in a group, in the chaos, no one knew who started it.

In the end, the person who committed the crime had to pay compensation to the family of the deceased.

The reason why this matter was brought to the county level was that among those beaten to death, there were uncles who were shopkeepers in the county.

He asked someone to file a lawsuit, and the case was then transferred to the county.

Otherwise, fights and other conflicts in the village would be handled by the local headman and the elders of each family.

On the first day of taking office as the village head, he knew his rights.

Even if someone was really killed tonight, the matter would be handled by him and the elders of the tribe.

Then, we will just have to let him say whatever he wants.

Even if Lu Tianming and others are dissatisfied, they can report it to the county.

As long as they stick to their confession, the only thing left to do is to pay a fine.

As Captain Wu thought about it, a hint of cruelty appeared on his face.

On the other hand, after Wu Hongliang left his eldest brother's house, he began to notify the Wu family members one by one.

Like Lu Qingqing and her group, when the Wu clan members came to settle down, they also chose a larger open area and built houses together.

The only difference is that they are sitting on the far right, next to people with other surnames.

Wu Youzhi's house is on the far right.

By the time Wu Hongliang notified the next few households, he was already exhausted and out of breath.

Seeing a stone bench in the family's yard, he sat down directly and started talking.

In the yard next door, You Zhiniang was taking care of the vegetable seedlings when she heard Wu Hongliang's voice coming from the next yard.

She was a little scared at first and stopped what she was doing unconsciously.

Then, I heard Wu Hongliang's plan.

When Youzhi Niang heard the movements of Widow Zhou at night, and heard words like "take the knife, kill me", she was so scared that she held her breath and dared not move.

She was so frightened that her legs went weak. She wanted to move back into the house, but she didn't have the strength.

Fortunately, after Wu Hongliang notified his neighbors, he turned around and went back.

After a while, Youzhi's mother stood up with the help of the wall and moved back into the house.

She repeated what she had just heard to Wu Youzhi who was lying on the bed.

Wu Youzhi, who was originally in a state of low energy, sat up suddenly in a hurry.

“No, I have to go talk to Uncle Tianxin and the others.

Wu Hongliang and his people are too cruel, they really dare to kill people! "

Saying that, he was about to get out of bed.

Youzhi's mother looked at her son distressedly, but did not stop him. She just said:

"Don't worry, they won't go until night.

Wait until Wu Hongliang is far away before you go out."

Wu Youzhi nodded.

"Don't worry, Mom. I'll take a detour from the right and avoid Wu Hongliang and his family's house. I guarantee they won't see me."

Youzhi's mother wanted to give a few more instructions, but as soon as she opened her mouth she started coughing again.

Wu Youzhi hurried over to pat her back. Seeing that his mother couldn't stop coughing, he said anxiously:

"Mom, I'm going to go to Gouzi's house later and ask him to help me get some medicine in the city tomorrow."

Youzhi's mother coughed for a while before she stopped. She wanted to stop her son, not wanting him to waste money on medicine.

After just a few words, he started coughing again.

After a while, Wu Youzhi limped out of his home and walked around to the right to the foot of the mountain in the north.

Youzhi's mother sat on the doorstep, watching her son leave, unable to stop worrying in her eyes.

She has been married to Wujia Village for many years and knows Wu Hongren very well.

If Youzhi goes back and informs them, and he finds out, they and their mother will probably have no chance of survival.

But people must have a conscience, she has been listening to Youzhi these days.

He worked as a helper at the foot of the mountain, and the people there took good care of him.

Add to that what Youzhi said when he came back today, and the two taels of silver for his life, I can never repay this kindness!

Youzhi's mother sighed and her eyes drifted further and further away.

foot of the mountain.

Lu Tianming was pulled into a corner by Wu Youzhi, and his face became serious after listening.

This village chief Wu is so cruel that he actually wants to kill them!

In that case, let’s see whose knife is faster!

After seeing Wu Youzhi off, he found County Magistrate Yao, Master Yan, Lu Qingqing and others and told them about the situation.

After some discussion, the plan and layout were re-made.

The location for the battle cannot be chosen in the open space above.

Otherwise, the piled bricks and tiles will inevitably be damaged.

Besides, they had to stop working early today and stay for a while after dinner to recover their strength.

The time soon came to evening.

After Lu Tianming shouted to stop work, the craftsmen and the people who came to help were still a little confused. Why did they stop so early today?

Lu Tianming just said that he had worked hard these days, so he should rest early today and continue working tomorrow.

The helpers and craftsmen from the village who came to work were unaware of the situation and all received their meals happily.

After all the helpers in the village had left, Lu Tianming gathered everyone in the team together and explained what had happened.

Before everyone could react, Lu Tianming spoke up and asked everyone to keep quiet.

Even though everyone was extremely angry, they could only suppress their anger and listen to Lu Tianming's arrangements.

After listening to Lu Tianming's analysis and arrangements, everyone's anger gradually subsided.

In fact, this time no one was too nervous.

On their way to escape famine, they had encountered enemies that were many times larger in number than them several times.

Now, there are only about a hundred men with the surname Wu in Baoshan Town.

Among them, there are many elderly and weak people.

They occupied the high ground for defense, so they were not afraid even if all those people came.

Not to mention the men in the team, even the women had taken several lives.

Although fleeing famine was dangerous, everyone actually grew up.

Lu Qingqing looked around and saw that no one had any anxiety or fear on their faces.

Lu Tianming also discovered this problem and specifically reminded everyone.

Don't underestimate the men of the Wu family. Even a lion will use all its strength to fight a rabbit, so they can't be careless either.

After dinner, Lu Tianming asked the craftsmen to move to another place to stay.

At the same time, they were told that no matter what noise they heard at night, they should not run around to avoid being accidentally injured.

Although troupe leader Zhao and the leader of the Sanqing troupe were puzzled, they agreed seriously.

As the craftsmen moved the tents, the team began digging fortifications.

It is rare to find such high terrain that can be used as a defensive position.

County Magistrate Yao excitedly directed everyone, using the terrain to create three defensive positions: upper, middle, and lower.

Lu Qingqing was also arranged an excellent position by County Magistrate Yao, and someone even helped her move the box of arrows up there.

She squatted on the cultivated high ground and looked down at the situation below.

The view from this place is very good, and it feels like you can see everything at a glance.

She has been busy these days and hasn't played the bow for several days, so she feels a little itchy.

Holding the bow and arrow, he pulled the open string a few times to test the feel.

At this time, the craftsmen in the rear looked at the people in the team who were making solemn preparations, and it felt like a big battle was about to begin.

Their faces are still the same, but something has changed, making them look a little scary.

When I saw some people in the team starting to sharpen their knives, the feeling of fear became even stronger.

Some craftsmen even shrank back unconsciously.

Fortunately, Li Rui noticed them inadvertently after finishing his work and gave them a silly smile.

Only then did the craftsmen realize that the person was still the same person!

After dark, the craftsmen went to the toilet early, and then stayed in their tents under the supervision of the team leader.
