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

That day, Lu Qingqing had just come out of the pharmaceutical factory and was planning to go to the tent area at the foot of the mountain with Manager Hua.

Then I heard a woman's terrified scream coming from the north of the village.

"Ah, who is it?"

The sound was so sharp that many people leaned against the door to look out.

Lu Qingqing took off the bow and arrow from her back and planned to go over to take a look, but was stopped by the soldiers behind her.

"Miss Lu, please don't go over there.

If there's any danger, I'll call my brothers over to take a look."

Manager Hua beside her nodded in approval and even stretched out his arms to block her way.

Blocked by several people, Lu Qingqing had to stop and watched a disheveled figure running past.

The man covered his face with one hand and carried a bundle in the other, staggering towards the bottom of the village.

Because the epidemic is still spreading, no one dares to approach strangers at this time.

Therefore, no one in the village chased after him.

At the entrance of the village, Tian Funiang was also leaning on the door and looking out.

As the figure ran, his messy hair swayed, revealing half of his face.

Tianfu Niang recognized this person at once and said in surprise:

"Oh, it's Mr. Lu's family!"

Because of surprise, the voice was very loud.

Everyone nearby heard it, and when they looked at the figure, they found that it did look a bit like Sun Cui.

Sun Cui naturally heard the shout and tried to run faster.

But she was very weak because she had been hungry for these days.

In addition, the ground was slippery due to the recent rain, and he fell down the slope while running.

She fell quite hard this time and it took her a long time to get up.

Behind them, a group of villagers also followed, wearing masks.

Looking at the person covered in mud on the ground, with most of her face exposed, it was indeed Sun Cui.

It's just that I've been staying in the mountains for so long.

Sun Cui became very thin, and her cheekbones became more prominent.

Lu Tianli was also attracted by the movement outside.

As soon as I ran over, I heard a woman next to me say:

"I just passed by Lu Laosan's house and saw a figure climbing over the wall from inside.

I was so frightened that I was wondering who it was, but it turned out to be her!"

As everyone heard her say this, their eyes fell on Sun Cui who was at the bottom of the slope.

Seeing the bulging bag she was holding, everyone guessed what she was going to do.

Thinking of the scene they saw at Lu Laosan's house a few days ago, many people began to talk in low voices.

Lu Tianli looked around and called out two strong women from the village.

He let the two of them go down and directly picked up Sun Cui.

One of Sun Cui's legs seemed to be broken, and she didn't dare to touch the ground at all.

But he held the big bag tightly in his hand.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she hurriedly explained:

"All these things in the bag belong to my family. You can't take them from me!"

Lu Tianli looked at Sun Cui and asked with a cold face:

"You said that was your home, so when you climbed over the wall and went back, did you see anything different?"

When Sun Cui heard him say this, she immediately thought of the two empty bedrooms.

She knew it the moment she sneaked back home and saw that the door was locked. She climbed over the wall and didn't see anyone.

Lu Laosan and Lu Laotou are dead!

Hearing Lu Tianli's words, he raised his head and glared at the people around him.

“Even if Lu Laosan dies, it’s still my home.

These things are all mine, no one of you can take them away!"

Seeing her so confident, Lu Tianli sneered:

"When you were bought back by Lu Lao San in Linshan Village, you didn't even have a decent piece of clothing.

In other words, you didn't bring any dowry to the Lu family.

Your own child, Lai Fu, is also dead.

Without Lu Lao San’s offspring, what right do you have to take these things!

According to the village custom, Lu Laosan died childless.

All his property will be inherited by his brother, Boss Lu!"

When Sun Cui heard this, she suddenly became anxious.

She glared at Lu Tianli and cursed:

"Bullshit! Everyone in our village knows that Third Lu and First Lu don't get along.

If Lu Lao San were alive, he would never give these things to Lu Lao Da.

Your surname is Lu, so you will naturally support those with the surname Lu.

Let me tell you, I am Lu Laosan’s wife.

When he dies, all his things will be mine!"

Lu Tianli looked at Sun Cui who was holding her head high, and thought of the death of Lu Lao San, and sighed:

"Apart from the fact that I'm the head of Baoshan Town, I'm also Lu Laosan's cousin.

To be honest, even if Lu Laosan is not a good person, he saved your life after all.

As for you, you sneaked away when he was sick and needed care the most.

Do you know that among the first group of people in our village who were infected with the disease, seven or eight are still alive.

Lu Laosan was infected at about the same time as them, and the families of those infected were also isolated.

No one in his family ran away on their own like you.

You know, when we went in, the stench in the room was just unbearable.

The bodies of Lu San and Lu Lao Tou were already infested with maggots.

Those swarms of maggots were burrowing in and out of his body.

The two men had been dead for many days, and their bodies had rotted to the point where their faces could no longer be seen.

But the corpse's movements were seeking help from outside.

Sun Cui, who do you think they are asking for help?"

When Sun Cui heard this, she recalled Lu Laosan's low cries for help in the first few days.

And her little boy Lai Fu was crying loudly because he was feeling uncomfortable.

For a moment, she felt that Lu Laosan and Lai Fu were calling her beside her.

Being in a tense, hungry and fearful environment for a long time, my mind is always tense.

Thinking of the scene of Lu Laosan's death, Sun Cui suddenly collapsed.

She felt the strong stench of corpse lingering in her nose.

She couldn't help but began to dry heave, but because she hadn't eaten for a long time, she couldn't vomit anything out.

She looked around in horror, waving her hands.

“Don’t blame me, don’t blame me.

If you get sick, you will definitely die.

Me, I was just protecting myself.

Even if Lai Fu dies, we can still have another one.

If you want a son, I will give you another one.

Don't come to me, go away!"

Everyone stood on the slope, looking at Sun Cui who had fallen into a state of madness.

For a moment, his expression was very complicated.

When Lu Qingqing rushed over, she saw Sun Cui who had already lost recognition.

But even so, Sun Cui still held the bag tightly in her hand.

Whenever someone tried to take something, she would scratch and claw at it, looking like she was eating someone.

A woman tried to step forward, but she pulled off her mask.

Fearing she might be infected, she screamed and backed away.

This time, no woman dared to approach Sun Cui.

Seeing this, Lu Tianli couldn't help but frown.

I turned around and saw Lu Qingqing who had just come over, and told her what happened.

When they went to Lu Laosan's house to collect their bodies, they naturally sorted out their belongings as well.

The Lu family had a total of eleven taels, three qian and seven copper coins.

In addition to the money, there were also a few bags of coarse grains and a bag of fine grains.

These things are the most valuable things in the house.

Because the epidemic was quite serious at that time.

In addition, since Lu Lao San's only surviving brother Lu Lao Da was not at home, no one touched these things.

Unexpectedly, it was taken away by Sun Cui.

Now in the whole village, the person who has the closest relationship with Lu Laosan is Lu Qingqing.

Therefore, Lu Tianli discussed it with Lu Qingqing.

Should we take this bag away by force and give it to Boss Lu when he comes back?

However, no woman dared to step forward to grab it now.

It is not very convenient for men to go up and snatch it.

Looking at the somewhat crazy Sun Cui, Lu Qingqing had a complicated expression.
