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

Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang followed the old village chief's wife and helped her put away the old village chief's body.

Next to him, Lu Tianxin was sitting in a daze beside his old father's body.

As if trapped in a morning nightmare, he made no sound for a long time.

At that time, when he heard some noise outside, he hurriedly pulled his wife and children out of bed.

After going out and seeing them running towards the mountain pass, I hurried over to find my parents.

But when I got there, a beast with a knife was already running to my parents' door.

When he saw the beast raising a knife to chop at his parents, he rushed forward and blocked it twice, but he was no match for it.

After two moves, not only were his arms and thighs scratched, but even the knife in his hand was cut off.

Seeing that the beast's knife was about to chop him, when he thought he was going to die, his father actually rushed forward.

I don’t know where that skinny old man got so much strength, he actually took the knife attack.

Just when he was about to rush over to help his father, he heard his father yelling at him to take his mother away.

Only then did he realize that his father had been stabbed in the abdomen.

At that moment, his mind went blank and he wanted to go forward and save his father.

But pulled by his father's roar telling him to escape and his mother's crying, he stumbled and fled towards the mountains.

In his last look before escaping, he saw his father holding the beast's ankles tightly.

Even though he was stabbed several times, he refused to let go.

He knew that his father was buying time for him and his mother to escape.

Since the old man's escape from famine, not only has most of his hair turned white, but his health has also deteriorated a lot.

I don’t know how he endured the pain and grabbed that ferocious and cruel beast!

Lu Tianxin recalled the scene at that time and burst into tears.

How can he be so useless!

Dad died trying to save him!

From now on, he will no longer have a father!

The tears on Lu Tianxin's face kept falling, but his face remained expressionless and no cry came out of his mouth.

He exuded an extreme sadness that was heartbreaking to watch.

After a long while, the old village chief's wife moved her feet, walked to her son's side, and gently touched his head.

Just like he did every time he cried as a child, he touched him gently.

"Son, your father must be very proud of saving us!

Don’t cry, he’ll be sad if he hears you!”

Lu Tianxin listened to her mother's hoarse and gentle words, felt the extremely light touch, and burst into tears.

Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang followed beside her, tears falling unconsciously.

After helping the old village chief and his family pack up, Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang finally had time to go back to their own home.

After simply tidying up the things in the room, Lu Qingqing quickly took out paper and pen and wrote a simple letter to King Huai.

After finishing the letter, Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang sent it to Lu Tianli's house and asked him to send it to Prince Huai's Mansion as well.

Then, the two went directly to the place where they discovered the abnormality during the day and followed the traces all the way forward.

When it was bright, Lu Qingqing looked at the extinguished fires and concluded that the beasts had not run too far.

After determining the direction, she and Qin Lang continued to chase forward.

All night long, she chased and pondered how to kill these hundreds of ferocious, brutal and highly skilled beasts.

Judging from the corpses found in Xingjia Village and Baoshan Town, these beasts used sharp Japanese swords and were extremely skilled at them.

Because of the huge disparity in numbers, she and Qin Lang naturally couldn't catch up and fight head-on.

Therefore, she had to plan carefully.

Make use of all the weapons you have.

Apart from compound bows and pistols, there is another extremely powerful weapon of mass destruction - gunpowder!

She had used this thing before. When facing a large number of enemies attacking, it was very useful for ambushing.

Therefore, while she was on the road last night, she had already prepared the gunpowder in the space.

What we are worried about now is discovering their traces.

How can we lure these beasts into the trap without arousing their suspicion?

Lu Qingqing was thinking about something in her mind when she was suddenly grabbed by Qin Lang beside her.

The two men quickly squatted down to hide their bodies.

Hearing the movement ahead, the two men quietly looked over and found a small village right in front of them.

In the yard at the entrance of the village, seven or eight men in strange clothes were pointing at the severed heads on the ground and laughing.

Lu Qingqing looked at the scene in front of her, closed her eyes and exhaled deeply.

Apparently, another village had fallen into their hands.

Lu Qingqing suppressed her anger and continued to observe the situation over there.

The seven or eight beasts in the yard were holding the severed heads with knives, laughing and playing wantonly.

The distance was not too far, and Lu Qingqing could hear what they were mumbling.

Even if you don't understand what they are saying, you can roughly guess what these beasts are talking about from their obscene and ferocious expressions.

At this time, a few people came out of the house carrying things and said something to the people in the yard.

Soon, a dozen people carried the things together and put them on the carriage parked outside the yard.

Not long after, more people came out from the back of the village carrying things and loading them onto the carriages.

Lu Qingqing observed from a distance for a while, and after roughly figuring out how many people were there, she took Qin Lang around the village and headed forward.

In order to speed up, she released two horses directly after leaving the village for a distance.

The two men rode their horses and ran forward quickly.

While hurrying on the road, we looked for suitable terrain.

If the two of them wanted to kill these hundred people without any casualties, they would have to rely on an ambush.

But suitable terrain is not easy to find.

The two men walked out for several hours but could not find a suitable ambush location.

During these few hours, the old village chief and Master Yan kept appearing in Lu Qingqing's mind.

There seemed to be a voice in my mind saying, don't let them go!

Lu Qingqing forced herself to calm down and told herself over and over again not to act rashly.

We must find a place where we can kill them with one strike and not let any of them escape.

After repeated self-hypnosis, Lu Qingqing finally calmed down a little and continued to search patiently.

In the afternoon, a large fork in the road appeared ahead.

Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang explored two roads separately, and agreed to come back and meet up half an hour later.

About half an hour later, Qin Lang came back with a happy look on his face.

Without waiting for Lu Qingqing to ask, he told her all his gains.

The road he was exploring had a small path suitable for an ambush after running a short distance.

There was a mountain wall on one side of the road and a deep ravine on the other.

If you fall down, you will be disabled if not dead.

That is to say, if they want to pass, they can only take that one road.

This is exactly the kind of terrain they were looking for!

Lu Qingqing was very happy after hearing this, but soon faced another problem.

How can we prevent them from going the other way?

Blocking the road at the fork in the road is really too deliberate.

If you end up making things worse, you'll be in trouble.

But if we continue to go further in, we really can't find a suitable ambush place.

The road she explored always had flat ground on one side.

In other words, she couldn't block the road even if she wanted to.
