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

At this time, one of the richly dressed gentlemen looked around.

He walked to the black-faced bow and whispered:

"I have urgent business to go to the capital!

I'll pay you five hundred taels of silver, and you'll take my family with you. How about that?"

Although his voice was low, the people around him were not far away.

When these words were heard by several people around, the place was in an uproar.

One said he would pay more, and the other said he would pay more too.

After Lu Qingqing listened to everyone, she found only one person who wanted to return the ten-liang deposit.

The rest of us have no shortage of money.

The black-faced captain was tempted by the amount of money being shouted and discussed with the people around him:

“Under the current circumstances, if I were to let you board the ship, I would be taking a huge risk.

How about this, I don’t want more, just increase it to one hundred taels of silver per person.

If anyone is unwilling, they can leave now."

The people around looked at each other and actually agreed.

Seeing this, the black-faced captain pointed at the spot where the young lady was ill.

"In that case, someone in that house has fallen ill. Please help clear them out first."

As soon as these words were spoken, the people around looked at each other and didn't want to go near that house.

Seeing this, the black-faced man also felt a little worried.

He doesn't want to go forward either!

Although there is medicine for this epidemic now, it is not certain that it can be cured.

No one wants to gamble on the chance of survival.

At this time, the wealthy businessman asked the four guards around him to come forward.

Seeing this, the others also sent out their guards.

With so many people surrounding them with knives, the young lady's guards and maids were at a loss.

Their team was originally formed by Madam Zhou.

But at this time, Nanny Zhou and the young lady were also burned unconscious.

Seeing the guards' swords getting closer and closer, a little girl was the first to give in.

"I'm leaving. Don't touch me. I'll go out by myself!"

With this beginning, the other guards looked at each other and wanted to retreat.

Soon, they dismantled the tent and carried the young lady and the sick old lady out.

However, they didn't go far, they were just in the woods not far away.

At this moment, a maid has already started to boil the medicine.

After clearing out the sick people, the people on the dock were worried about the bow and crew returning to the ship.

I was afraid that they would sail away at night.

After some discussion, the bow arranged four crew members to guard the fence at night.

Only then did this place become quiet.

Early the next morning.

The sick lady and her group packed up their things and went to wait at the city gate.

But at about four quarters past noon, they all came back in a panic.

The two maids knelt outside the fence and begged:

“We are not allowed to enter the city, and the medicine kits we bought in Jiangdu County for the epidemic are not working.

Who else bought medicine from somewhere else?

Please, sell us two packs!"

Lu Qingqing was about to speak when she was interrupted by a voice beside her.

“We don’t have any medicine here!

You guys are infected with the plague, and yet you're so close to us, are you deliberately trying to infect us?

Get away from here quickly!"

"That's right, go away, we have no medicine for you!"

The people inside the fence were already afraid because they were infected with the disease.

This time I met them close to them for fear of being infected.

They waved their weapons and shouted at them to stay away.

As for the medicine kits for treating the epidemic, they would not sell them even if they had them.

Who knows what will happen along the way.

This medicine bag is to ensure the safety of my family.

Lu Qingqing watched the two maids being scared away by the crowd and started to walk back.

I had planned to quietly throw them two packets of medicine when they came to my place.

Unexpectedly, the dark-faced man on the boat heard that they wanted to buy medicine bags and said loudly:

"I have medicine to sell here, don't leave yet!"

Having said that, he turned and went back to the boat.

Soon, he got off the boat with two packets of medicine.

"I bought these two packets of medicine in Shunqing Prefecture. How much are you willing to pay for them?"

The two little maids looked at each other, not knowing how much to give.

Seeing this, the black-faced man said directly:

"Fifty taels a bag. Bring the money if you want it."

The two maids whispered a few words to each other and went back to get the money.

This time, he was accompanied by two guards.

One of them was someone Lu Qingqing had mentioned earlier when she was asking for information.

He recognized Lu Qingqing, and although he felt disappointed, he still nodded at her.

Lu Qingqing also nodded at him, and raised the medicine bag in her hand through the mosquito net.

The guard was delighted when he saw the medicine.

But when he noticed someone looking at him, he quickly looked away.

Soon, the two maids and the guard bought the medicine bag back.

The guard was walking at the end and reached the fence next to Lu Qingqing.

Lu Qingqing took advantage of the mosquito net to quickly pass the medicine bag over.

The guard quickly took the medicine bag and immediately stood in front of him.

The people inside the fence only saw that the guard at the back walked slower, but did not notice anything unusual.

Seeing the group of people walking away, the people inside also relaxed.

Many people are silently calculating the time.

There is still one day left according to the agreed two-day deadline.

By tomorrow, if no one falls ill again, we can board the ship and set off.

Until noon, Lu Qingqing did not see the two maids or guards come back.

Then I knew that the medicine bag must have worked.

In the middle of the night, Lu Qingqing was sleeping when she suddenly heard deliberately quiet footsteps approaching.

He opened his eyes immediately and a dagger appeared in his hand.

When the footsteps stopped outside the fence, Lu Qingqing was already squatting at the exit of the mosquito net.

But there was no sound of the fence being moved, instead something heavy fell on the cart.

Then, the footsteps gradually faded away.

Lu Qingqing covered her mouth and nose and opened the tent, and saw a bundle thrown on the shaft of the cart.

She didn't touch it with her hands.

A wooden stick appeared in his hand, and the moment the stick touched the bundle, the bundle disappeared from its place.

She used her consciousness to open the bundle in space.

He discovered that there were six large silver ingots inside, each weighing fifty taels.

On the other side, the guards quietly returned to the camp.

The brother on duty saw him coming back and whispered:

"Is the matter done?"

"Well, it fell on the shaft of his cart.

He was in a position where there was a mule blocking his view, so it was difficult for others to see him."

As the guard spoke, he coughed due to the thick wormwood smoke.

The guard next to him heard this and said with some envy:

"That guy is really lucky, he made three hundred taels from two packets of medicine.

If I had these three hundred taels, I would never have to worry about anything in the future.

Come to think of it, brother, why didn't you secretly take out a silver ingot?"

The guard who delivered the money glared at him and said unhappily:

"We are that kind of people!

Besides, if it weren't for that boy, the lady would be...

Then, can we brothers go back and be alright?"
