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

After Widow Meng made this gesture, several women around her also took out some snacks from their bags or baskets.

Seeing this, Lu Qingqing did not refuse.

When the women saw that she accepted it, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

When I got on the bus and sat down, I felt much more at ease.

Nowadays, if you borrow something from someone else, it is customary to bring something as a thank you gift.

This is especially true when borrowing important livestock such as carriages or cattle.

If the owner refuses to accept it, it means that he is not willing to lend it.

Soon, Lu Tianli saw the agreed time and called everyone to set off.

This time, almost all the carriages in Lu Qingqing's team were used.

Even the mule cart of Wu Hongren's family was occupied by several men from the Wu family.

The group of carriages and horses set off quickly. They didn't encounter any danger along the way and arrived at Yining County smoothly.

At this time, many refugees had already lined up at the entrance of Yining County.

However, many refugees were worried that someone would take their place at night, so they just slept in their original places.

Everyone felt a little nervous when they saw the group of skinny refugees at the city gate.

There is a huge gap between hearing others talk about it and seeing it with your own eyes.

Seeing the miserable plight of these refugees, everyone made a secret decision.

Even if it costs more money, we should stock up more food.

After checking their household registration, Lu Qingqing and her group entered the city smoothly.

Everyone went straight to the grain store, and when they arrived they found that there was already a long line in front of the store.

I originally thought that if there weren't many people at the grain store, I could line up and buy some cheap grain.

At this moment, everyone gave up this idea.

Seeing this, Lu Qingqing led everyone towards a small alley in the west of the city according to the location given by the wonton stall owner yesterday.

There was only a tightly closed gate in that dead end alley.

Lu Qingqing stepped forward and knocked on the door three times lightly and twice hard, repeating this three times, and successfully opened the door a crack.

The people inside the door looked through the small gap and saw that the people outside were not officials, and that there were men, women, young and old inside, so they let the people in directly.

In the yard, a dozen strong men holding sticks were watching this side from the corridor.

Seeing the ferocious looks of those strong men, many men and women trembled in their hearts, fearing that they would be robbed and their money would be taken away.

After Lu Qingqing entered the yard, she scanned the surroundings as usual.

In her opinion, although there were many men, judging from their figures and positions, they did not look like people who had practiced martial arts for many years.

At this time, a man in silk clothes came out of the room, looked everyone up and down, and asked:

"You all know the rules!

How much food do you want to buy?

Do you have enough money?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Tianli nodded quickly.

"We all know it. We have enough money."

Upon hearing this, the man said to a short and thin man next to him:

"Laojiu, take them to see the food."

The man called Lao Jiu agreed and led everyone towards a house at the easternmost end of the yard.

This was the first time that Widow Meng had experienced such a scene. When she walked next to the group of strong men, she was so scared that her whole body was trembling.

Seeing her like this, the burly man next to her deliberately leaned forward.

The exposed strong arm just happened to touch Widow Meng.

Widow Meng was already nervous, and when she felt the man's touch, she screamed in fear and dodged to the side.

Seeing that the man still wanted to move forward, Widow Meng panicked and looked around the team.

Seeing Lu Qingqing in front of him, he hurriedly ran towards her.

At this time, the thugs holding sticks nearby, seeing the always lustful Bangchui so anxious, laughed and teased:

"Stupid guy, I'm just a young wife, you're so powerful, don't scare me."

"That's right, that's right, you have to be gentle. Once you get her, this little bitch won't want to leave you!"

".."

Widow Meng hid beside Lu Qingqing and grabbed her clothes tightly in fear.

When she heard the dirty talk of these men, she felt embarrassed and angry, and her face turned red.

When Lu Qingqing heard these extremely disrespectful words to women, she turned around with a cold face.

The man walked over leisurely and reached out to reach Widow Meng.

Lu Qingqing took a step forward, quickly grabbed the man's arm, and pushed him to the ground with a twist.

The whole action was quick and neat. When everyone saw clearly, the man had been pressed to the ground with his arms twisted behind his back.

At this moment, he was howling miserably with his head on the ground.

The incident happened so quickly that the strong men in the corridor reacted and rushed forward with sticks in hand.

Lu Qingqing pulled out the long knife from her waist with one hand, pressed it against the neck of the man on the ground, and shouted coldly:

"Whoever takes another step forward, I'll kill him first!"

The hammer on the ground felt the sharp blade against his neck and screamed in fear:

"Don't come over here, don't come over here, this little bitch really dares to kill me!"

Bangchui was so frightened that his voice was trembling when he shouted.

The leading man in silk clothing had already been observing the situation here.

Now, seeing some blood on Bangchui's neck, he knew that this little girl was really brave enough to do it.

He walked over quickly and said loudly:

"Stop it all!"

As he spoke, he was already a few steps away from Lu Qingqing.

"Girl, don't be impulsive, we can talk it over!"

At this time, the leading man looked at Lu Qingqing and felt that she looked more familiar. He hesitated and said:

"The lady's surname is Lu. Are you the one who killed the young heroine Hu Wei a few days ago?"

Then, before Lu Qingqing could speak, the leading man noticed the old village chief next to him and said excitedly:

"Old man, I have seen you before in the county court.

So, the girl is the female disciple of Guan Yu as rumored.

Look at the divine bow you are carrying, it is definitely the right one!"

The leading man said this, waving away the brothers who were blocking his way and bowing to Lu Qingqing:

"Little lady, what happened just now was my brother's fault. I'd like to apologize to you first."

As he spoke, he cursed at the man who was pinned to the ground:

"Stupid guy, why don't you apologize to the little heroine and the others?

You guy, you can't control the two pounds of meat in your crotch all day long.

If you dare to go around getting horny again, I won't need you to do anything, I'll just get rid of the root of your trouble!"

The hammer pressed on the ground was already extremely scared at this moment.

After hearing what the boss said, he apologized repeatedly.

After hearing this, Lu Qingqing took the knife off Bangchui's neck and said to the leading man:

"Hey bro, we just want to buy some food.

You also know that women value their reputation the most.

What this person just did is enough to destroy me, your sister.

If I have offended you in any way, I hope you will forgive me."

Upon hearing this, the leading man quickly admitted his mistake and said:

"No, no, no, this is all our fault.

I'll give you a discount on your food today, what do you think?"

Seeing his sincere attitude, Lu Qingqing raised her foot and let go of the man on the ground.

Seeing the man stumbling away, Lu Qingqing had already placed her hand on the compound bow on her back.

Fortunately, the leading man did not do anything out of the ordinary.

He personally led Lu Qingqing and his group into the granary and introduced the types and prices of grain available in the granary.
