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

A group of wild boars rushed out of the bushes, their tusks looking particularly sharp in the sunlight.

The pigs seemed unaware of Lu Qingqing's presence behind the tree. They were gnawing on the chestnuts scattered around them, occasionally making low grunts.

Lu Qingqing held her breath and quickly assessed the current situation in her mind.

She knew that wild boars were large and agile, making them difficult to catch.

Wild boars often rub against trees and mud, and have a protective layer of mud and resin on their bodies, making them difficult to cut.

But even though she knew it was difficult to catch a wild boar, she had the space as a refuge, and she was reluctant to give up the pile of meat in front of her.

At worst, if the crisis really comes, I can just hide in the space and wait for the wild boars to leave before coming out.

And now, she had to be careful not to alarm them.

Lu Qingqing searched the herd of pigs, looking for a suitable target.

Everything around me became quiet, with only my own heartbeat and the cries of wild boars echoing in the air.

It is unlikely to kill a wild boar with a sickle.

Suddenly, Lu Qingqing noticed that there was a steep slope next to the big tree behind her left.

I walked over quietly, held onto the tree and looked down carefully, and found that it was a deep ditch more than ten meters deep.

Before she could look back, she heard the sound of wild boars running towards her.

Oh no, the sound of her walking startled the wild boar.

When she turned around, she saw a large group of wild boars grunting and rushing towards her at a very fast speed.

At the head is a pig king with sharp fangs. It is huge in size but runs very fast.

Lu Qingqing wanted to shrink back into the space immediately, but she couldn't because the wild boars were still more than three meters away from her.

Keep your mind steady and when you are about two meters away, decisively flash into the space.

In space, use your consciousness to focus on the outside.

It was discovered that except for the three large wild boars at the top and two half-grown wild boars that rushed too fast and fell down, most of the rest had stopped.

Hearing the shrill howls of the falling wild boar, the herd of pigs above became panicked.

After a long while, when Lu Qingqing saw that the wild boars had retreated, she slipped out of the space.

The wild boars that had fallen stopped howling, and the five wild boars were lying scattered in the ditch.

Lu Qingqing walked around the downhill road and came to the side of the ditch. She was only about one meter away from the bottom of the ditch, so she carefully went down into the ditch.

Except for one half-grown wild boar that was still trying to get up, the rest were dead. All the dead wild boars were put into the space.

Lu Qingqing decisively took out the sickle and stabbed the half-grown wild boar's neck, but there was no bleeding.

As if feeling the threat of death, the wild boar grunted even louder, but still couldn't get up.

Lu Qingqing looked carefully and realized that even with such great strength, she only cut a little skin.

Not knowing whether the knife was too blunt or the wild boar skin was too thick, Lu Qingqing aimed the sickle at the right spot, gathered all her strength, and cut five or six times in a row.

Finally, blood spurted out.

Lu Qingqing hid a little further away, fearing that if blood splashed on her body, it would be difficult to explain when she got home.

Looking at the blood flowing out, I felt a pity in my heart.

This would require a large basin of blood, but unfortunately I didn't bring a container.

When the bleeding was almost over, he decisively put it into the space and hurried home.

Before leaving the mountain, Lu Qingqing put on the backpack full of pig grass, looked at the sun, and trotted home.

In the end, I still missed it. When I got home, Mrs. Lu Li was already boiling water and cooking.

Lu Qingqing felt that something was wrong. Sure enough, Mrs. Lu Li's face turned ugly. When she saw Lu Qingqing appear, she shouted, "What are you doing?"

"You silly girl, where have you been? The whole family is waiting for dinner in the field, and you haven't done anything. How are you going to explain this to your grandparents tonight?"

Lu Qingqing wanted to explain, but she saw that Mrs. Lu Li had turned around and was busy cutting vegetables, so she had to follow her and help.

After finally finishing her work, Mrs. Lu Li left with the lunch bucket.

Lu Qingqing sat at the table, looking at the vegetable paste in the bowl, and sighed softly. She was so tired.

I just escaped from a group of wild boars and now I have to face this situation again.

I was beaten by Old Mrs. Lu for washing torn clothes before, and I cooked late this time. I don’t know what I will face in the evening.

She really wanted to leave, but this was ancient times, and people without household registration certificates were considered illegal residents.

You can't hide in your own space all your life. Even the most introverted person can't stand being without socializing.

She looked at the pile of little kids around the dining table, all of whom were eating very quickly, as if they were afraid that others would snatch their food away.

I felt the sadness of being powerless to change the current situation. At this moment, Da Zhuang spoke up beside me:

"Sister, are you afraid that grandma will punish you by not letting you eat at night? Don't be afraid. This time I will definitely be able to secretly leave some food for you. It won't be like last time when grandma found out."

Lu Qingqing was stunned. She had not had much interaction with this younger brother since she came here.

She distributed the food to them at lunch, and after they finished eating, she went to work. She didn't expect that her brother was still thinking about her.

"Then I'd like to thank Dazhuang in advance."

Lu Qingqing looked at Dazhuang and chuckled.

When Dazhuang heard his sister's words, a silly smile appeared on his dark face.

"My elder sister also gave me..."

Halfway through his words, Da Zhuang suddenly covered his mouth, remembering that he was the only one who had eaten the peaches before, and he felt that he couldn't tell anyone about it.

Lu Qingqing felt warm in her heart when she saw her brother like this. No matter what happened in the future, Dazhuang now really treated her as a sister.

In fact, after coming here, Lu Qingqing has basically not felt much kindness from the Lu family.

Most people in her family ignored her. The feudal society's preference for boys over girls was deeply ingrained in everyone's consciousness.

For the Lu family, they gave Daya food to eat and did not throw her away or drown her. They fed her and she should be grateful and help with housework.

When they get married, they have to exchange it for a dowry to help the men in their family find wives. This is the fate of most rural girls here.

In this situation, very few family members would invest too much emotion in a woman, like the original body's father, Boss Lu.

Although he also likes Daya, he will focus more on Dazhuang. After all, his daughter will belong to someone else's family after she gets married.

After finishing her meal, Lu Qingqing first found a broken jar that had not been used for a long time at home, put it in the space, washed it clean, and then bled several wild boars one by one.

After finishing the housework quickly in the afternoon, I began to think about what to do in the evening.

The last time she washed torn clothes, Mrs. Lu beat her and then acted weird for a long time.

Judging from Old Lady Lu's temper, she will probably be punished this time.

The slap she received last time made her dizzy for a long time.

This body was really weak, and Lu Qingqing was afraid that something might happen to it from the beating. She thought they wouldn't call a doctor for her.

After pondering for a long time, she couldn't find a good solution. She only had two cents in her hand, and taking it out wouldn't solve the problem.

She had no choice but to call Dazhuang over and tell him that if grandma wanted to beat her at night, she should run next door to find the old village chief.

The old village chief is Old Man Lu’s cousin, and they are cousins ​​from the next family. He is a fair man, and Old Man Lu has always been afraid of him.

In fact, if the punishment is just not being allowed to eat, which is the punishment that other children fear the most, it is nothing to her now. After all, she still has the steamed buns she bought before in her space.

She was afraid that Old Lady Lu would attack again, and she couldn't beat her with her weak arms and legs.

No matter how she struggled, after cooking dinner, the Lu family still went home in the sunset.
