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

It was a time of heavy dew, and Lu Qingqing simply took a bamboo mat and lay down to sleep.

He found a thin blanket from the carriage and covered her with it.

After just a few breaths, Lu Qingqing's breathing became long.

Old Man Zhuang knew that she was exhausted, so he moved more gently and took some food and water to feed the horse.

Seeing the horse eating happily, he patted its back gently and sat beside it, looking at the river.

Looking at the calm river surface, I couldn't help but think of the scene last night.

Last night, he really thought he was going to die.

Looking back on my life, my biggest regret is that I didn't figure out that recipe.

The second regret is that Xiaolang’s illness was not cured.

But he really didn't expect that he could escape death.

God bless you!

Since God has let him survive, he must do these two things well.

A thousand thoughts ran through his mind, and suddenly he thought of his senior brother.

Thinking of his senior brother, he suddenly remembered the medical book he prepared for him.

By the way, all his wealth is still with Qingqing.

No, no, Qingqing will wake up soon and we have to go back.

He had saved up that money for a long time, scraping together some scraps here and there.

There is also the ginseng given by Qingqing, which is still useful to him!

Oh, and Xiao Lang.

I don’t know what’s wrong with this child. He looks fine, so why hasn’t he woken up yet?

No, wait until noon when I give him acupuncture and then prick all the painful points again.

It’s exciting, maybe he’ll wake up!

More than an hour later.

Lu Qingqing stopped the carriage and frowned as she looked at the town littered with corpses.

Old man Zhuang next to him was also frightened by the dried and black blood.

Fortunately, he has developed a habit now.

When you are scared, cover your mouth first to make sure you don't make any sound.

For a moment, the town was dead silent.

The two were awakened by the sound of wind blowing up the sign at the door of the tavern, making a sound of cloth rubbing against each other.

Old Man Zhuang glanced around the town, his voice trembling.

"Qingqing girl, what happened to this town? Why are there so many corpses?"

Lu Qingqing shook her head.

Smelling the stench of corpse brought by the wind, she turned the reins and walked towards the path next to her.

The people in this town must have been killed for quite some time.

Not only was the blood dried and black, but the body was also severely decomposed.

Even after the carriage passed the town, Old Man Zhuang was still chattering.

Then they said that it was the bandits at the dock who killed the people in the town.

Then he said that they might have been attacked by bandits.

This little old man, who is nearly fifty years old, has seen more dead people in the past fifty years than he has in just a few months.

The shock of seeing the severely decayed corpse of his fellow human being took him a long time to calm down.

The carriage continued to move forward. Seeing that Lu Qingqing looked tired, Old Man Zhuang offered to learn how to drive.

Thinking that they didn't know how far they had to go, Lu Qingqing agreed.

While driving the car, she told Old Man Zhuang the directions.

Fortunately, Old Man Zhuang was quick to learn.

After only half a day of learning, I was able to drive independently.

With Old Man Zhuang taking over, Lu Qingqing has more time to study the map.

Before, she had only studied the route from Pengcheng County to the south, but she did not expect to encounter a sneak attack.

In this situation, we can only re-examine the route.

The journey that would normally take two days by boat now required them to go around several towns by carriage overland.

All in all, it will take at least six or seven days.

After passing the town just now, Lu Qingqing didn't want to go through the town again.

They have plenty of food and water, and the fewer people they encounter, the less trouble they have.

Therefore, when planning her route, she tried to avoid towns.

After studying the route, she took advantage of the break to tell Old Man Zhuang about it and asked him for any suggestions and opinions.

Old Man Zhuang looked at the winding route on the map and nodded.

"Very good, I'll do as you say."

In fact, he didn't understand how to get there.

But he felt that Qingqing could run all the way from the south to the capital and still find him.

In this regard, it is definitely very powerful.

He is a half-baked person, so he won't interfere.

Seeing that he had no objection, Lu Qingqing followed the route she had planned.

That day, the two walked until it was completely dark before they found an open space to stop and rest.

As soon as the car stopped, Lu Qingqing called Old Man Zhuang, and the two of them first unloaded the frame.

The horses, having been pulling the carriage for a whole day, were exhausted.

This was all thanks to Xiao Hei, who is known for his endurance. If it were any other horse, it would have collapsed long ago.

Lu Qingqing touched the horse lovingly and climbed onto the carriage to get the feed that had been prepared for it.

There was a pile of luggage at the back of the carriage, and several large boxes underneath the luggage.

In fact, most of the boxes below are empty.

When she moved things from the boat to the carriage, she put the heavier things into the space.

Most of the things pulled on the trucks nowadays are just for show.

However, even if it is pulling an empty cart, the horse will get tired after running for a whole day.

Not to mention, there were three other people in the car!

After thinking about it, Lu Qingqing scooped out some of the refined grain that the cat liked in addition to the feed.

In addition, she also prepared half a basin of cold water mixed with space water.

After watching it gulp down the drink, she turned around to do other things.

At this time, Old Man Zhuang had already set up the stove.

While lighting the fire, he asked:

"Qingqing girl, what would you like to eat tonight?"

Lu Qingqing was very tired and had no appetite.

"Let's make something simple, and then we can go to bed early after eating."

Seeing her tired look, Old Man Zhuang nodded in agreement.

But he was thinking about making something delicious to reward Qingqing.

She escaped with herself and Xiao Lang, so she had to celebrate.

Old Man Zhuang thought about it and took out the smoked meat he had made on the boat.

I took out the previously marinated dried fish and planned to spread some sauce on it and then smoke and grill it.

Old Man Zhuang concentrated on cooking, while Lu Qingqing began to prepare a place to sleep at night.

The rain a few days ago made the weeds on the ground grow even more dense.

Places with a lot of weeds are very likely to have snakes, insects, rats and ants.

She lit some mosquito repellent mugwort at the place where she planned to set up camp.

Then, he did as he learned when he was camping in the military camp and cleared all the weeds in this area.

Make sure there are no ant nests underneath before starting to set up the tent.

This tent was on the boat that she had taken to the capital. She thought that if she couldn't get on the boat when she came back, she might have to travel by land.

He found a few pieces of thicker cloth from the space and sewed them according to the style of tents used by the army.

The needlework was truly horrible.

But the advantage is that the fabric is thick and the material is sufficient.

This tent is more than enough for the three of them to sleep.

By the time Lu Qingqing had set up the tent and built it with wood, the aroma of food from Old Man Zhuang's place began to waft into the air.

He looked at the big tent that Lu Qingqing had erected and praised it repeatedly.

I originally thought that I would have to sleep on the ground outdoors at night.

I didn’t expect that I could sleep in a tent.

I can lie down and have a good rest now.

Old man Zhuang was cooking and humming a tune in a very good mood.
