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

You know, before fleeing famine, few families bought bricks and tiles specifically to build houses.

Most families build their houses using free adobe bricks made at home.

Now that they have fled from famine for a long time, every household has built five large houses when they settled down.

Although it is a half brick and half mud house, it can also be called a brick and tile house in the countryside.

This brick and tile house, like the fields, is wealth that can be passed on to future generations.

Most people feel happy when they think about it.

Therefore, even if it costs more money to build a house, it is worth it.

Seeing that the half-brick and half-mud house was completed, Team Leader Zhao planned to take each family to Yining County the next day to pick up the custom-made doors and windows.

On the day the house was completed, most families moved into their new houses.

As for the lack of doors and windows to let in wind, it actually makes it cooler in such hot weather.

Seeing this, Lu Qingqing's families who built houses made of blue bricks and tiles also became excited.

In a few days, their house will be completed.

On the second day, when Team Leader Zhao led everyone to the carpenter's shop in the city to get the doors and windows, they measured the sizes one by one.

After ensuring that the sizes of each family are correct, we ask them to pay the balance.

After bringing back the doors and windows, Team Leader Zhao led the craftsmen and spent two days finally installing the doors and windows for each household.

On the day when the house was completely completed, the old village chief hurriedly gathered everyone together and said anxiously:

"Boss Lu is missing!

I searched his home, his fields, the dam, and the hills behind him, but couldn't find him. Has anyone seen him?"

When everyone heard this, they all started to think.

Soon, Wang Dahe said, "When I woke up this morning, I seemed to see him going down the mountain!"

After he said this, Tianfu Niang also remembered and said hurriedly:

"Yes, yes. I took Little Stone to feed the horses this morning, and I thought I saw him heading towards the village at the foot of the mountain. I thought he went to the fields!"

After hearing this, the old village chief slapped his thigh in anger.

"Oh no, he might have gone to the county town alone!

The day before yesterday, he insisted on going with me to the county to see Da Zhuang. I was worried that I wouldn’t have time to look after him, so I didn’t agree.

This guy, I told him several times that Da Zhuang would be back soon, but he just wouldn't listen.

In his current condition, how can he find the county town?

It's almost noon now, and it's scorching hot. Please don't let anything happen!"

Then he said to Lu Tianxin:

"Tianxin, go get the carriage and let's look for him along the road!"

Lu Tianxin quickly agreed and ran to harness the carriage.

The old village chief said to the crowd:

"If anyone is free later, go around the village and help look for it!"

Everyone agreed.

Although the families quarreled and argued with each other on weekdays, they were all fleeing famine together.

On such a major matter, there is no ambiguity.

In the crowd, only Lu San and Lu Lao Tou looked awkward.

Next to her, Sun Cui was holding her child and also pouting.

But whether they like it or not, they have to go find it in front of so many villagers.

Seeing that the old village chief and Lu Tianxin were about to drive away, Lu Qingqing hurriedly drove to follow them.

Dazhuang will be back in two days. If he knew that Boss Lu was missing, he would probably be worried to death.

Two carriages drove out of the village one after the other. When the villagers of Baoshan Town saw this, they thought Lu Qingqing was going to sell silk again and didn't pay much attention to it.

Along the way, the old village chief drove the car very hurriedly, fearing that something might happen.

Lu Qingqing followed behind, looking carefully at both sides of the road to see if anyone had fainted.

Unfortunately, the two carriages did not show up until they reached the city gate, but there was no sign of Boss Lu.

Logically speaking, even if Boss Lu set out early in the morning and walked to the city, it would be impossible for him to arrive by this time.

But just in case, the two carriages still entered the city.

Lu Qingqing went straight to Dazhuang's school, while the old village chief and Lu Tianxin walked around the streets of the city.

The two sides agreed to meet at the city gate half an hour later.

After Lu Qingqing rushed to Yining School, she asked the teacher to call Dazhuang to the door.

As expected, Dazhuang had never met Boss Lu either.

When Dazhuang learned that Boss Lu was missing, he became anxious.

He didn't have time to go back and pack his things. He just asked for leave from the teacher who was guarding the school not far away and hurriedly got on the carriage.

Lu Qingqing drove with Dazhuang to the place where they had lived before, but didn't see anyone.

Then, he went around to various places in the city that hired temporary workers, but didn't see anyone.

By the time the two carriages gathered at the city gate, everyone's faces were filled with anxiety.

Da Zhuang was so anxious that he was about to cry. He suppressed his emotions and looked around.

Now, King Huai's work-for-relief strategy was fully implemented, and there were not many refugees left at the city gate.

After they drove the carriage around, they could see everything clearly.

Seeing that Boss Lu was nowhere to be seen, they could only rush back.

On the way, whenever they came across a fork in the road, they would turn in and take a look.

If you come across a village, get off the car and ask.

Unfortunately, I never got any news.

As it was almost noon, everyone was feeling extremely hot.

Seeing that the old village chief was walking unsteadily, Dazhuang didn't care about his anxiety and hurriedly asked several people to stop and rest.

But they couldn't find anyone, and they couldn't sit still.

After a simple meal, he drove back in his carriage to look for it.

I searched until half the afternoon but still couldn't find anyone.

Seeing that they had returned to Baoshan Town, everyone felt extremely disappointed.

With the last glimmer of hope, they drove back to the foot of the mountain.

As soon as I got back, the head of the village came to greet me.

The old village chief asked hurriedly:

"Have you found Boss Lu?"

The head of the village shook his head.

“I didn’t find it, it’s probably not in the village!

During this day, we searched several fields in the village.

Worried that he had gone up the mountain, he searched every corner of the mountain.

We even searched the dam and the ditch, but there was no one there!"

After hearing this, Da Zhuang couldn't hold back any more and tears started to fall from his eyes.

While wiping his tears, he ran to the tent where he originally lived and looked around, but there was no one there.

I ran to the newly built house and looked around, but didn't see anyone.

Seeing this, everyone felt sorry for the child.

At this time, Wu Youzhi quietly called Lu Tianxin aside and whispered something.

After hearing this, Lu Tianxin immediately looked towards the direction of the houses in Baoshan Town at the foot of the mountain, but quickly retracted his gaze.

He asked Wu Youzhi to go back quietly so as not to be seen by the people in Wujia Village.

Now, the half-brick and half-mud houses in the camp have been completed, and most of the people who came to the village to help have gone back.

However, there are still a small number of villagers helping with the work.

If they saw it and told the truth, Wu Youzhi would be retaliated against.
