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

Qin Lang walked towards the water tank beside the vegetable garden, scooped water to rinse his straw sandals, and replied:

“No, Uncle Tianli checked before leaving, and no one was bitten.

Moreover, there was enough mugwort today that we all choked and cried.

Not to mention mosquitoes, they don't even dare to get close.

By the way, the wall at the entrance of the village has been built and the gate has been installed.

Uncle Tianli asked the families at the entrance of the village to listen carefully at night to prevent anyone from coming in.

Lu Qingqing nodded.

In fact, building this wall now is just a precautionary measure.

If the disease really develops into a plague in the later stages, that will be the time to defend ourselves.

As they were talking, Qin Lang finished washing.

Lu Qingqing brought the person directly into the space and raised her hand to take out pajamas and soft cotton cloth used as a bath towel.

Seeing Qin Lang taking a bath towel and pajamas to take a shower, she took some easily digestible meat porridge from the shelf.

After doing physical work for most of the night, Qin Lang would definitely be hungry if he didn't eat something before going to bed.

At her and Qin Lang's age, their stomachs are like sulfuric acid.

Whatever you eat is digested quickly.

The saying that this little brat is eating me out of my house is absolutely true.

Soon, Qin Lang came out clean.

Seeing the meat porridge on the table, he gulped down two bowls.

He was still thinking about eating a few more buns, but was stopped by Lu Qingqing.

It's already very late. Eating too much meat and then going to sleep is not good for the stomach.

Qin Lang always listens to Lu Qingqing's words.

I stared at the buns being taken away and silently decided to eat a few more tomorrow morning.

The next day, the two of them slept until the hour of Si.

After breakfast in the morning, I heard Lu Tianli shouting on the street.

"The entrance to the village has been sealed, so please don't go out unless necessary.

Each family goes to the reservoir to fetch water at different times.

Those living two streets ahead, go fetch water at the hour of Mao.

Those living on the two streets behind go to fetch water at Chenshi.

Every two days, everyone spread some quicklime in the yard."

Lu Tianli shouted the news on every street, and every household heard the news and wrote down what they needed to do.

When I arrived at the pharmaceutical factory, before I could even open my mouth, I heard the guard shout:

"Captain Lu, we sent someone to the provincial capital to report the news yesterday.

In a few days, a soldier should come back with a letter.

When the time comes, remember to ask the people at the village entrance to open the door."

Lu Tianli quickly agreed, informed the pharmaceutical factory guards of the news, and continued walking forward.

Behind the pharmaceutical factory, Wang Demao and others were boiling medicine.

Two people in their team also fell.

The high fever kept coming back and wouldn't go away even after taking medicine.

But there is no other way now, we can only try our best.

Amidst the thick smoke from the burning mugwort everywhere, Wang Demao stared at the mosquito net not far away in a daze.

Yesterday, when Lu Qingqing came over, she told him about the situation at the textile factory.

There are food, medicine, and mugwort there, and the factory walls and gates are also very strong.

In reality, the conditions there are much better than his, but he is still worried.

My granddaughter is not very old. Although she is smart, she is still a child after all.

The girls who went out together were also very young.

I’m afraid that if they encounter this situation, they will be so panicked that they won’t be able to come up with any ideas.

Moreover, the situation in the city is probably even more serious than here.

If things get really messy, it will be troublesome!

I don’t know, how are Zhenniang and the others?

At this time, Yining County Textile Factory.

Zhenniang and her group were crowded in a room filled with smoke from burning mugwort.

Widow Meng held Xiao Sanbao in her arms and asked Zhenniang in front of her:

"Zhenniang, can we really do this?"

Zhenniang stared out the window, her heart in a mess.

But she couldn't show any panic at this moment.

The crowd had already lost their backbone, and they would panic if they saw her.

The entire textile factory would be in complete chaos.

She has to hold on and manage this textile factory well, and not let Sister Daya down.

Zhenniang adjusted her expression, stood up, turned around and faced everyone, and said in a firm voice:

“It’s possible!

Before the boss left last time, he left us a lot of food.

We have enough food now, and if we eat sparingly, we can even have enough to last for half a year.

In addition, the boss also left a few bottles of extremely expensive life-saving pills.

Besides, we grabbed some fever-reducing herbs yesterday.

If any of us really have a fever, there are also medicinal herbs available.

The only thing that is not enough is mugwort.

The incident broke out so suddenly that the mugwort in the shops was impossible to get.

Now, all we have left are the ones our boss bought for us.

Even if we all squeeze into one room, it will be enough to last for half a month if we use it sparingly.

But I have thought about this matter.

Let's make some mosquito nets and two people can stay in one mosquito net.

At that time, there was no need to burn mugwort.

Just light the mugwort when cooking and emptying the urine bucket.

Moreover, there is a well in our yard, so we have no shortage of food, water and medicine.

As long as we lock the door and stay in the factory honestly.

You will definitely be able to stay safe and sound until the day it ends."

Zhenniang's words were so powerful that people felt more confident after hearing them.

It seemed that even the stifling heat in the room was not so unbearable anymore.

Widow Meng also felt better and asked:

"Then what shall we use to make mosquito nets? We don't have much coarse cloth here."

Zhenniang shook her head.

"Don't use coarse cloth, use the silk we weave."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the female workers in the room gasped.

Although they did not go with them to sell silk, they all knew the price of silk.

Such an expensive thing, and they want to cut it up to make mosquito nets?

No, no, I can’t even think about it!

Widow Meng stammered, "Zhenniang, you said to use silk to make mosquito nets?"

Zhenniang nodded and said firmly:

“Yes, use silk to make mosquito nets!

There was chaos in the city yesterday, so we took advantage of the chaos to buy some things so that we wouldn't be too conspicuous.

Today, every household in the city is hiding at home according to the order of the county government.

Anyone who goes out today will easily be targeted.

Besides, the fabric shops probably won't be open today."

As she spoke, she stood up, looked around, and said firmly:

“I will explain to my employer about using silk to make mosquito nets after I finish.

If there is any responsibility, I will take it all!

Don't worry, everyone, make the mosquito net first, and we'll have a little more chance of survival!"

After hearing what she said, many people showed hesitation and struggle on their faces.

Soon, someone spoke first:

"Zhen Niang, I'm going to use this material myself, so how can I let you bear the cost?

When this is over, I will work hard, earn the money for the materials, and then return it to the boss."

After someone started, the others followed suit.

During the time they have been at the factory, Zhenniang has been taking good care of them.

Now, they should take responsibility for this matter themselves.
