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

A quarter of an hour later, the bow felt far enough away from the pier.

Then he called a few brothers who were on good terms with him to discuss what to do next.

They actually knew about the plague in the south, and even some places in the north had plague.

But they had only heard about it before, but this time they really met it.

To be honest, no one is not afraid of death.

Especially those who have big ships and have earned some money are even more afraid of death.

The captain discussed with a few good brothers for a while and finally made a decision.

We didn't stop at any of the docks we passed next.

This ship goes directly to the capital.

Afterwards, they stopped the boat and returned to the city to rest for a while.

After the plague is over, they will come out to sail again.

After making the decision, the captain asked the crew to call out the guests on board.

I told everyone that the ship would not stop for the next few days.

Except for a few who were worried about their families and insisted on getting off the boat in the middle.

The rest of the guests all agreed to this.

In fact, no matter whether the passengers on the boat agree or not, the bow will not let the boat stop again.

Now it is just said in advance so that everyone can be mentally prepared.

As for Lu Qingqing, she had originally planned to go straight to the capital, so this decision had no impact on her.

But the plague that had just broken out still made her a little worried.

This place is only about half a month's boat ride away from the capital.

There's an epidemic here, I wonder how the capital is doing.

Moreover, she was worried that the King of Rebellion would attack the capital, but she didn't know whether he had started the attack.

But no matter whether she was worried or not, things were proceeding according to the established trajectory.

Half a month later, when the ship arrived in the capital, the dock was more crowded than a busy vegetable market.

At the dock, ships are crowded together, all wanting to dock first.

But all the ships docked at the pier now are luxurious and large ships.

There was a long line of carriages carrying boxes onto the ship.

Just by looking at the servants' attire, you can tell they are not an ordinary family.

Seeing this, Lu Qingqing knew that they would not be able to reach the shore in a short time.

After she found the route, she jumped into the water and swam to the shore.

As she expected, the bow of the ship waited at the dock for nearly four hours.

It was almost dark when we finally had the chance to find a corner spot to dock.

Here, after getting ashore, Lu Qingqing walked towards a forest in the distance.

Soon, she had changed into clean clothes and drove her carriage towards the city gate.

At this moment, the capital city is still prosperous both inside and outside the city.

The only thing that was a bit unusual was that many horse-drawn carriages were carrying things out of the city.

Lu Qingqing didn't care about all these things. After entering the city, she asked for directions along the way and headed towards Tianshui Lane in the south of the city.

The south of the city is where ordinary poor people gather, with dilapidated houses and muddy roads.

Along the way, she saw too many poor people who were ragged, pale and skinny.

After much inquiries, the carriage finally arrived at Tianshui Lane.

This Tianshui Alley has a nice name, but it looks like a slum in the capital.

The roofs of many houses are broken and the roads are difficult to walk on.

There were many children sitting on the roadside.

When I got closer, I realized that these children were all without exception.

They all have big heads on their skinny little bodies and look dull.

In this case, it’s not that the child is stupid, but that he is hungry.

Lu Qingqing led the carriage inside and looked at the crooked muddy paths.

I feel like once this carriage goes in, it will be difficult to get out.

She took out a two-grain flour cake and asked an old woman who was sitting at the door picking vegetables:

"Auntie, I'm here to see Doctor Zhuang, the one nicknamed the Ghost-Seeing Doctor!"

The old woman listened to her question and pointed to the path on the right.

"Look, Doctor Zhuang lives there."

The old woman said this, looking towards Lu Qingqing's carriage.

Guessing that it would be difficult for her to go in, he shouted towards the yard:

"Erdan, come here!"

As soon as the old woman finished shouting, a skinny little boy ran out.

"Grandma, what do you want from me?"

"Erdan, take this boy to Doctor Zhuang's house."

"Oh, got it!"

After the grandfather and grandson finished speaking, Erdan looked at Lu Qingqing's carriage and said crisply:

"Hey little brother, come with me.

The alley leading to Doctor Zhuang's house is a bit narrow.

Once your carriage goes in, it will be difficult to get out.

No, just park the carriage at the entrance of the alley and wait.

I'll go inside and call someone for you."

Lu Qingqing listened to his clear and logical speech and took out a pancake from her pocket and handed it to him.

"Thank you very much, take this and eat it."

Erdan didn't expect that he could get a pancake in return for leading the way.

He immediately took the pancake and responded happily:

"Oh, thank you!

I should thank you for giving me this cake.

Wait, I'll go call someone."

Having said that, he ran forward.

Lu Qingqing watched him run to a yard inside, then turned back to look at Qin Lang lying in the carriage.

Seeing that his hair was a little messy, I tidied it up a little.

When he turned around again, he saw a gray-haired old man walking towards him behind Erdan.

From a distance, he saw Lu Qingqing's carriage and was still thinking.

It's a rare opportunity to see a rich man here, so I have to make a killing from him.

But when he got closer, his face looked serious and dignified.

"This little brother, you are here to see me for medical treatment."

Lu Qingqing hurriedly bowed to Zhuang Zhibo.

"That's right, my brother hit his head and has been in a coma for several months.

I heard that Doctor Zhuang had a miraculous healing skill, so I came here specially."

When Zhuang Zhibo heard this, he felt even happier.

This person who came here because of his reputation must be famous for his medical skills.

This will be even easier if it costs money.

Moreover, there are generally only a few situations in which injuries and coma occur, and those that can be cured are easy to treat.

"My dear, where is the patient? Let me take a look first."

Lu Qingqing hurriedly pulled up the carriage curtain, revealing Qin Lang lying inside.

Zhuang Zhibo stepped forward, looked at Qin Lang's face, and then reached out to take his pulse.

But after a while, his brows began to frown.

He asked Lu Qingqing about what happened when he was injured.

After learning that it was caused by continuous blows to the back of the head, he started taking the pulse again, mumbling something.

"The pulse is strong and vigorous, and the vitality in the body is vigorous.

There is no obvious blood stasis in the brain!

This shouldn't be the case. He should be able to wake up in this situation!"

Lu Qingqing watched him taking his pulse and didn't dare to breathe, for fear of disturbing him.

Zhuang Zhibo muttered for a while, not caring about whether he wanted the money or not, and said to Lu Qingqing:

"Wait here, I'll call two people to carry him in.

I'll give him an acupuncture to see how he does it."

Seeing him walking out of the alley, Lu Qingqing hurriedly called out to him.

"Doctor Zhuang, I can carry him over. You don't need to call for help."

As she spoke, she stepped onto the carriage, grabbed Qin Lang's armpits, and dragged him onto the shaft.

Then, he took out two cloth towels and skillfully tied them around Qin Lang's shoulders.

Zhuang Zhibo watched helplessly as the skinny boy carried the tall boy on his back and walked quickly towards his yard.

This scene left him stunned.
