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

At this time, many families were lighting dim oil lamps and processing fish in the yard.

The baskets of fish gave off an unpleasant fishy smell as they were being gutted.

Lu Qingqing listened to the idle chatter coming from the yard and silently slowed down her pace.

She walked quickly along the dark corner of the wall.

But when passing by a yard, he saw the woman of that house holding a basin of cleaned fish gills and preparing to throw it away at the door.

She didn't want to meet anyone, so she quickened her pace and walked forward quickly.

However, when turning the corner, he accidentally bumped into a drunk man.

Lu Qingqing was knocked back two steps before she could steady herself.

The man opposite was knocked back several steps.

After regaining his balance, the man was extremely angry.

He stood forward with his hands on his hips, reaching out to push Lu Qingqing.

But this time, the push missed and was dodged by Lu Qingqing who was prepared.

The man nearly fell down, and in anger he actually drew out the Japanese sword from his waist.

He raised the Japanese sword high and slashed towards Lu Qingqing.

Lu Qingqing quickly took two steps back, and in the darkness, a big knife suddenly appeared in her drooping right hand.

Then, he quickly raised his sword to block the Japanese sword that was coming at him again.

The sound of the blades colliding startled a woman who was taking out the trash not far behind.

The woman seemed to be accustomed to people taking action here and did not cry out in surprise.

But she didn't stop, didn't even pour the basin, turned around quickly and closed the door of her house.

Lu Qingqing took the time to look back and saw that the door was closed.

After blocking the knife, he led the man to a dark place and cut his neck with a knife.

After blood spurted out, the man fell limply to the ground.

Lu Qingqing touched the man's body with a knife, and the body was instantly taken into the space.

She looked around and saw nothing unusual, so she quickly put away her knife and continued to head west.

A while after Lu Qingqing left, the woman who came out to take out the garbage walked out of the house and squatted in the yard, looking out.

Seeing that there was no movement outside, she hurried into the house and whispered to her man to come out.

The two men crouched down and walked out of the door, walked to the place where the fight had just taken place, and quietly lit the oil lamp.

With the dim light of the oil lamp, the two searched the surroundings.

There was nothing in the dark and damp alley except blood.

The two of them searched again without giving up, but still couldn't find anything, and couldn't help but curse under their breath.

Their slum is already chaotic, and this kind of fight is even more common.

If you're lucky, you can pick up some good stuff by going to a place where a fight has just taken place.

I didn't see anything this time. I had really bad luck.

When the woman thought of the thin man she saw, she couldn't help but curse him several times in her heart.

On the other side, Lu Qingqing had quietly passed through the slums and quickly headed towards the west of the city.

It was already past dinner time and there were fewer and fewer people on the road.

Lu Qingqing couldn't ask for directions, so she could only rely on her sense of direction and try to go west.

On the way, she strayed from the direction twice and discovered the most luxurious residence she had seen since entering the city.

When we say it is luxurious, it only applies to island countries.

This house is far inferior to Prince Huai's Mansion.

Lu Qingqing just silently noted the direction and continued walking west.

During this period, she discovered that several main roads were patrolled by soldiers from the island nation.

The dark paths next to the main road are not only unpatrolled, but also have very few passers-by.

Lu Qingqing quietly entered the path and continued heading west.

After the incident of bumping into someone while turning a corner just now, Lu Qingqing was extra careful every time she came to a corner.

After running for another half an hour, Lu Qingqing finally arrived at a place where many island soldiers were stationed.

Lu Qingqing didn't recognize the words above the plaque.

But seeing so many patrolling soldiers around, I think it should be the case.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingqing walked around the soldiers patrolling the door and climbed over the wall to go in.

After entering, Lu Qingqing walked around for a while.

Looking at the pavilions, ponds and rockery that began to appear in front of me, I realized that this place should not be where my brothers and others were imprisoned.

At this time, a team of patrolling island soldiers passed by not far away.

Lu Qingqing quickly hid in the rockery next to her and quietly observed the situation in the dark.

She heard the soldiers talking in a jumbled manner, but she only understood the word "shirou ganei".

Doesn’t this word mean silver?

Could it be that the ransom paid by King Huai this time was placed here?

Lu Qingqing looked at the scene in front of her and felt that it was not impossible.

Thinking of this, after the patrolling soldiers passed by, she quickly climbed over the rockery and ran forward.

Not long after I walked out, I came across a room with the lights on.

Lu Qingqing poked a hole in the window paper and looked inside, only to see a fat man.

It was sticking out its big white butt, pressing a cricket pupa on a woman.

Damn, I’m going to get corns!

Seeing how exhausted he was, Lu Qingqing decided to help him out.

She took out the sleeping pills she had prepared from the shelf in the space.

Insert the tube into the small hole and blow gently.

After waiting for a while, Lu Qingqing heard no movement inside, so she stuck her head out to look inside again.

Sure enough, the fat man had fallen to the ground with his head down.

Lu Qingqing looked around and saw that there was no one, so she quietly went into the house.

Next to the two people lying on the ground, there were several pieces of clothing piled up.

One of them was particularly large, obviously an official uniform.

Lu Qingqing picked up the clothes and took a look at them. She could only say that compared to the official uniforms of the Ming Dynasty, the official uniforms of the islanders were fat and ugly.

However, this official uniform at least shows that the fat man lying on the ground is an official in some way.

Lu Qingqing thought about it and pulled the fat man's hair.

Looking at the small mustache on the man's philtrum, he was reminded of the islanders who invaded the Central Plains in modern times, and felt extremely disgusted.

She simply picked up the Japanese sword next to her and stabbed the man through with one blow.

Blood splattered on the face of the woman in kimono below, and the woman slowly woke up.

The woman looked at the Japanese sword in Lu Qingqing's hand, was stunned for a second, then quickly turned over and hid to the side.

Seeing her reaction, Lu Qingqing knew that this woman was not an ordinary person.

Without waiting for the woman to grab the Japanese sword next to her, he threw the sword in his hand directly at her.

Before the woman could scream, the Japanese sword pierced her neck directly, and streams of blood flowed down her neck to the floor.

Seeing that the two men had taken care of it, Lu Qingqing began to rummage through the things in the house.
