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

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingqing and Bai Xing'er both agreed happily.

After Widow Meng left, the two planned to go to each household at the foot of the mountain to ask.

The sun was very strong at this time, so after going out, they both walked in the shade close to the wall.

Lu Qingqing recalled the scene she had seen a few days ago and asked:

"Sister Xing'er, has Wu Qingmu been hanging around your house recently?"

When Bai Xing'er heard this, the smile on her face faded a little.

"A few days ago, you and Qin Lang scared him, so he hasn't dared to come recently.

Every time I went to the fields in the evening, he would stand at the intersection and stare at me.

That look is so frightening!"

As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something.

She took Lu Qingqing's arm, her expression relaxed a little, and said with a smile:

“However, a few days ago in the evening, when I went to work in the fields, I took the big knife with me.

Sure enough, I saw him at the intersection again.

When I saw him trying to catch up, I suddenly slashed at him with my knife.

The knife fell close to his body and scared him away!

Look, it’s been several days and I haven’t seen him again!”

Lu Qingqing looked at the mischievous smile on Bai Xing'er's face and said:

"Okay, as long as he doesn't dare to come again.

You live alone at home, so be careful on a daily basis.

If you encounter any problems again, come and tell me."

As they were talking, they arrived at Master Yan's yard.

Under the eaves, the master's wife was sewing shoe soles.

Seeing them coming, he stood up and smiled, inviting them to sit inside.

When I heard that Lu Qingqing was planning to buy a loom, I thought about it and decided to buy one too.

On weekdays, she is not needed for anything else except cooking and washing clothes.

I'm just sitting around at home doing nothing anyway, so I might as well buy a loom and earn some money.

Seeing that her master's wife was about to follow them out to ask questions, Lu Qingqing hurriedly stopped her.

My master's wife has always been in poor health. She should be careful not to get heatstroke when she goes out in the sun.

Seeing her being so cautious, the master's wife smiled and said:

"You really treat your master's wife like a porcelain doll!

You forgot, when I was fleeing from the famine, I also attacked the refugees with a knife!"

Then he continued:

"Also, over the past year or so, I feel much better.

Now I can walk a mile or two without being out of breath!"

Lu Qingqing looked at her master's wife's face which had turned a little red, and silently decided to increase the frequency of feeding her.

The food she made with space water seemed to be effective.

After the two left, they continued to inquire at various houses at the foot of the mountain.

Among them, some plan to buy, while others plan to take a closer look.

Lu Qingqing didn't try to persuade her much.

We all fled here together to escape famine, so we have some friendship.

She just reminded them, but whether they buy it or not is their own business.

When the two passed by Lu Laosan's house, they saw Sun Cui watching the child at the door.

When Sun Cui saw the two of them, she raised her chin and snorted disdainfully.

Lu Qingqing only took a quick look inside, then frowned and looked away.

She really couldn't stand the way Sun Cui raised her children.

At this moment, the child was completely naked, and his small body was covered with densely packed red mosquito bites, which looked very creepy.

The child was only wearing a piece of urine under his butt, but no one knew how long it had been there.

There was feces and urine on it, and flies were circling around it.

As for the child's butt, it was a mess.

The child was crying loudly at this moment, but Sun Cui just glanced at him and continued to work on her work.

Bai Xing'er looked reluctant, but seeing Sun Cui's expression, she had to suppress her emotions and continue moving forward.

As soon as the two of them walked a short distance away, Bai Xing'er couldn't help but say:

"Daya, did you look at that child?

It was so small, but it was bitten all over.

Seeing how red your butt is, I guess you didn’t wipe it in time and it got flooded!

I have raised several younger siblings by myself before, and I never let them do this.

This Sun Cui shows off her son all day long, but she doesn't seem to care about raising the child!

That child is so pitiful!"

Lu Qingqing sighed and said nothing more.

Ever since Boss Lu changed his mind, he has had almost no contact with Lu San and Lu Old Man.

Similarly, I have lost contact with that place.

Soon, the two passed by Dazhuang's yard.

This time the yard is very different from the previous one.

In the southwest corner of the yard, a livestock shed was built at some point.

The stable was next to the toilet, and inside a horse was chewing hay happily.

On the east side of the yard, there was a thatched hut.

Now, Wang Gui was sitting in the straw hut drinking tea.

He was half lying in a rocking chair, fanning himself slowly with a large palm-leaf fan in his hand.

When I heard some noise outside the door, I opened my eyes and looked.

Seeing that it was Lu Qingqing, he greeted her with a smile:

"Daya, you're back. Come in and sit for a while. I have something to talk to you about!"

As he spoke, he called out to Bai Xing'er who was beside him.

"Miss Bai, I've made some tea. Come sit down and rest for a while."

Lu Qingqing thought about it, then went in and sat down with Bai Xing'er.

After all, further east there are only Zhuzi and Zhuzi's father's families left.

Zhuzi's father only has him and his grandson, so he definitely won't buy a loom.

In other words, since only Zhuzi's family is left, there is no need to rush.

When Wang Gui saw someone coming in, he stood up and poured tea for the two of them.

The movements were so smooth and natural that Bai Xing'er was stunned.

The person still looks the same, but Bai Xing'er always feels like something is different.

What is even more surprising is the way Daya and his father get along.

The two of them no longer looked at each other coldly as before, but fell into a strange calm.

Wang Gui saw Lu Qingqing staring at the horses in the barn and explained with a smile:

"Two days ago, I went to the city again and bought a carriage.

With a carriage, it will be more convenient to pick up Dazhuang in the future, so I won’t have to bother you every time!"

Lu Qingqing knew the inside story and didn't react much to Wang Gui's words.

Bai Xing'er next to him was completely different. Seeing Boss Lu speak so politely and considerately for Daya, she opened her mouth in surprise.

When Wang Gui saw her, he smiled and asked her to have some tea first, and then called Lu Qingqing into the house.

After the two entered the house, Wang Gui asked Lu Qingqing to sit in the main room, while he went to the inner room.

Lu Qingqing was surprised to see that the furniture had already been placed in the main room.

It had only been a few days since he last went to the county town, and he had already bought it.

At this time, Wang Gui took out a purse.
