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

Similarly, the straw mats and mattresses on the roof were not taken down.

The two men simply took down the smashed box on top.

However, these broken boxes were not thrown away, but piled back into the carriage.

Dry firewood is hard to find now, so the outside of these boxes are coated with waterproof material.

It rained and hailed just now, but I didn't get soaked.

It's good to chop it into pieces and use it for firewood.

However, while piling the boxes into the carriage, Old Man Zhuang was still sighing.

If we pour out the contents of this box and put more in, the carriage will hardly be able to hold them all.

Lu Qingqing didn't stop putting the straw raincoat on the horse, she just responded softly.

After the two set off again, the hail on the ground slowly melted away.

At this time, although it was not raining, the sky was gloomy.

Lu Qingqing thought about it and began to search for objects in the space that could block the hail.

But these days, there are only a limited number of things that can be used.

After rummaging around for a long time, I found nothing except a few thick wooden boards.

Unexpectedly, I found the thick tent that I had made with a torn quilt when I fled from the famine.

In addition to this, she found a dilapidated cart and a pile of straw mats.

Think about the food reserves on the car now. Apart from flour, there is only the horse meat picked up by Old Man Zhuang.

During the journey a few days ago, the horse meat was made into smoked meat, which can be kept for a while.

As for the greens and dried vegetables, they were all eaten up a few days ago.

After Lu Qingqing thought it over, she put half a bag of dried vegetables, a small bag of salt, and half a bag of flour on the cart.

These things can almost last them until the next boat stop.

After putting things away, the next step is how to 'pick up' things at the right time.

About half an hour after the two of them walked out, the hail on the ground completely melted away.

Even the sun came out, which was rare.

Seeing this, Lu Qingqing suggested riding a horse to explore the way ahead.

If there is a village or town nearby, you can find a place to stay.

Seeing that the sun had already risen, Old Man Zhuang did not stop them.

Lu Qingqing rode forward, carefully checking the situation on both sides along the way.

I didn't find any villages, but there was a small path turning right on the official road.

Following the principle that roads are made by people, she kicked her horse's belly and turned into the small path.

After walking forward for a while, I found an abandoned farmhouse in front of me.

Lu Qingqing almost cried. God finally had mercy on her.

She dismounted and pushed open the broken door covered with cobwebs.

I walked around the mud house and thought about it, but in the end I didn't put the cart there.

Instead, he found a place to put the things on the cart in scattered places.

Even, a cellar was accidentally discovered in the kitchen.

She went down to take a look and put some more things out.

In addition, she also placed six thick wooden boards in the utility room.

After putting all her things away, she mounted her horse and rode back happily.

Not long after turning back to the official road, I saw Old Man Zhuang.

She hurried to tell him the good news.

Unexpectedly, Old Man Zhuang was even more excited than her and rushed to see it in a hurry.

Lu Qingqing led him into a small path and they saw the farmhouse in the distance.

Old man Zhuang was very excited.

After camping in the wilderness for so long, this was the first time I saw a house where people lived.

Although the roof seems to be leaking, it is still a house where people live.

He has lived for almost fifty years, and the suffering he has endured in these few months is more than in the previous fifty years.

When Old Man Zhuang thought about it, he wanted to shed a few bitter tears.

He swung the reins and rode as fast as he could.

Lu Qingqing was so scared when she saw him running so fast on the muddy dirt road.

Fortunately, the distance is not too far.

The two of them soon reached the door.

As soon as Old Man Zhuang got out of the car, he ran towards the yard.

That skill was totally unlike what one would expect at his age.

Then, the treasure hunt mode began.

Every time he found something useful, Old Man Zhuang would shout excitedly.

Lu Qingqing was tying the horse in the yard. Listening to his excited shouts, she couldn't help laughing.

Well, to be exact, it was the person who arranged the treasure.

The feeling of secretly satisfying after seeing the treasure hunter give full emotional value.

The treasure hunter, who was nearly fifty years old, quickly found useful things from the house.

Lu Qingqing looked around and didn't see any food, so she knew that he hadn't explored that place yet.

Pretending to be casual, I took a stroll in the kitchen.

Finally, I found the cellar next to the water tank.

When Old Man Zhuang saw the lifted cellar lid, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.

"Qingqing girl, you are so amazing.

I've been to the kitchen twice, but I didn't find the cellar.

You just came in and you found it!"

Looking at the two thumbs up towards her, Lu Qingqing said modestly:

“It must be because you haven’t seen a cellar much before.

Where I used to live, almost every household would dig a large cellar.

I thought it might be here too, so I looked for it.

I didn’t expect to find it by accident! "

Old Man Zhuang didn't suspect anything. He found the oil lamp from the car and walked into the cellar holding it.

Soon, half a bag of dried vegetables, half a bag of potatoes, half a bag of grain, and a small jar of pickled vegetables were found inside.

When Old Man Zhuang saw so many things, he laughed out loud in the cellar.

He carried the things up bit by bit.

Looking at the sky, I discussed with Lu Qingqing that I wanted to stay here tonight.

Lu Qingqing looked at the Western clock in the space and saw that it was almost six o'clock in the evening, so she agreed.

Although it was not raining at the moment, the two men still led the horses to the house that was least damaged.

To be on the safe side, the two of them did not remove the awning.

Even the few wooden boards that had just been discovered were added.

This is equivalent to double-layer protection.

After adding food and water to the horses, Lu Qingqing carried Qin Lang on her back, and the three of them went to the kitchen.

This kitchen is not big, but it has a cellar underneath.

If it hails again, hide in the cellar and you will be safe!

After settling Qin Lang down, the two began to cook dinner.

It’s a rare opportunity to cook in the house, so I use the ingredients I just found and the half room of dry firewood in the kitchen.

The two decided to have a good meal.

Old Man Zhuang took out the two remaining dried fish, spread the last bit of sauce on them, and started grilling the fish.

Lu Qingqing prepared to cook.

After soaking the dried vegetables, she started peeling the potatoes.

After preparing the dishes, start cutting the horse meat.

Next to him, Old Man Zhuang was grilling fish while kneading dough to make white flour pancakes.

The noodles I made before have become almost done after eating them for a few days.
