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

The words on this sign are very simple and clear.

"Jiyuan Town is infected with plague, stay away!"

When Lu Qingqing saw the word "plague", she was shocked.

Since she got off the boat and walked for several days, she hasn't seen any plague patients.

She thought at the time that nothing had happened in the north.

Now it seems that it is not that nothing happened, but that those who did happen were directly blocked and burned to death.

Lu Qingqing put on the mask tightly and continued riding forward.

We passed several villages in succession, all of which looked burned down.

She didn't dare to get close and walked around from a distance.

After running for several miles, she chose a secluded place to enter the space.

As soon as she entered the space, she took off her mask and clothes and threw them directly into the brazier to burn.

After dumping the ashes outside the space, she took another bath before sitting down to rest.

It was already past noon, and she had no appetite at all, even though she would normally be extremely hungry.

She fed Qin Lang some porridge made from space water, and she also drank some millet porridge.

After dinner, I started studying the map again.

Judging from the current progress, it will take at least three to four days to reach Fengkou Wharf.

During the journey, we will pass through a county town and three small towns.

As for the villages along the way, there are at least a dozen of them.

She looked at the map, silently noting the places she would pass along the way, and then closed her eyes to rest for a while.

When I left the space, the sun was still shining brightly.

The weeds on both sides of the road grew more lush after being watered by the rain.

From a distance, it looks like a sea of ​​green.

From time to time, the sound of insects chirping could be heard in the grass.

If it weren't for the burned-down villages we passed by from time to time, it would have felt quite prosperous.

Lu Qingqing rode a horse, looking at the map while hurrying on.

For several consecutive days, pass through the places marked on the map one by one.

Luoyan Town, Gouzi Village, Taiping Town, Sanlipo, Wu'an County...

Most of these places were infected with the plague and burned down.

It was only from Wu'an County that I gradually began to see people.

Although Wu'an County is not too far from Sanlipu, many people in the county are unaware of the plague there.

All they knew was that they were blocked by a fence on the way there and were not allowed to pass.

The government's explanation was that there were bandits there and they were suppressing the rebellion.

These words successfully persuaded the people who wanted to pass by.

At the same time, the news of the plague infection there was blocked.

If we really tell the people that there is a plague over there.

The people of Wu'an County would have fled long ago.

That evening, Lu Qingqing finally arrived at Fengkou Wharf.

At this time, there were only two small passenger ships at the dock.

There were lanterns on the boat.

She walked around the dock and then went to Fengkou Town not far away.

Fengkou Town is a rare prosperous place nearby.

We passed four or five inns in a row, all with big lanterns lit at the door.

When passing by the lobby, you can see guests drinking and chatting.

Lu Qingqing walked around Fengkou Town and entered the Fortune Inn which was the most crowded.

When the waiter saw her hair, he was stunned.

But he quickly reacted and greeted with a smile:

"Sir, are you here for a quick meal or to stay overnight?"

In fact, if you come here at this time, you basically have to stay in the hotel.

But there was no guarantee that some people would travel overnight, so he still asked this question.

Lu Qingqing responded in a hoarse voice.

"Stay in the hotel and take a room upstairs."

The waiter didn't expect her to be so rich, and enthusiastically led her upstairs.

After arriving at the room, Lu Qingqing gave some extra tips and asked about the current situation of the boat passing through the pier.

Since the inn was right next to the pier, the waiter was used to being asked by guests about the boats at the pier.

In order to attract customers, the shopkeeper even sent someone to the dock to record the sailing conditions in detail.

At this moment, he naturally knew everything about Lu Qingqing's problem.

After the introduction, Lu Qingqing also understood the situation here.

From this pier, there is a passenger ship that goes to and from the capital every ten days or so.

The starting and ending points of this passenger ship are from Beijing to Fengkou Wharf.

However, the ship is a small passenger ship and will pass by larger docks along the way.

In this way, the journey will be slower than the original direct ship.

But compared to traveling by land, it is still much faster.

And six days have passed since the last ship left.

In other words, she only needs to wait here for about four more days before she can leave by boat.

The waiter also told her that when the big ship arrives, the people at the dock of their inn will come to notify her.

This way, you don't have to worry about missing the boat.

After finding out clearly, Lu Qingqing closed the doors and windows and went straight into the space.

She had been traveling for several days, but she still felt unsettled.

Now, I finally know the exact news about taking a boat to Beijing, and I feel a little relieved.

Lu Qingqing slept very soundly this time.

But because of my biological clock that had been busy traveling these days, I woke up at dawn the next day.

When I went downstairs to the lobby, the waiter was wiping the table with a rag.

When I saw her coming down, I hurriedly greeted her.

After learning that the inn had breakfast, Lu Qingqing ordered all the fried dough sticks, soy milk, sugar-coated fruits, and meat pancakes she wanted.

During the many days since she left the capital, she has been eating breakfast that she made herself.

To be honest, no matter how delicious it is, I get a little tired of it.

Now that there are choices, I naturally buy more.

When the waiter heard that she wanted so much and looked at her thin figure, he secretly doubted whether she could finish it.

But he still smiled and agreed.

As it turned out, Lu Qingqing was able to eat it.

All the breakfast on the table was eaten up.

Especially the sugar-coated fruit, she felt that Qin Lang would definitely like it.

The taste of these things made in the north is different from that in the south.

Therefore, she ordered a lot of these breakfasts.

She planned to stock up more every day while waiting for the boat.

In this way, when Qin Lang wakes up, he will be able to eat these new flavors of food.

When Lu Qingqing thought about that scene, the corners of her mouth began to curl up.

After the waiter delivered the remaining breakfast to the room, she put it directly into the space to keep it fresh.

Then, he went out to the pier.

At this time, there were already quite a few people on the dock.

When Lu Qingqing got closer, she saw several fishing boats with a lot of fresh fish and shrimp for sale.

Next to it, there are many stalls selling vegetables.

Lu Qingqing went to the stall with the most people and saw bunches of grapes on the stall.

Just by looking at the color, you can tell that these grapes are very sweet.

Lu Qingqing thought of the grape trellis in her own yard and wondered how it was growing.

Seeing a lot of people gathered around to buy things, she also bought a lot.

I picked one and tasted it. It was sweet with a little bit of sourness, and it tasted really good.

Seeing the branches and leaves the stall owner used to cover the grapes, she asked for some.

These grapes can be propagated by cuttings. With these branches, they can be planted in the space.
