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

As for the bodies, neither of them searched them again.

Time was too tight for them to travel, and if they had more time to search for bodies, they could have run several more miles.

Moreover, there might be some food on these corpses, but they are not short of food now.

The refugees behind them need this stuff to survive more than they do.

Just like the family of four they met when they first asked for directions.

Of course, neither of them mentioned this.

After the carriage was on the road again, Lu Qingqing took the reins from Old Man Zhuang.

He also handed him a water bag filled with space water.

After Old Man Zhuang drank a few sips of the sweet space water, his mood gradually calmed down.

At this moment, Lu Qingqing's hands and face were stained with blood, and she felt very uncomfortable when she smelled the bloody smell.

Because I was in a hurry, I couldn't continue to deal with it.

She rubbed the blood on her sleeves with her hands.

Old Man Zhuang came to his senses and saw her like this, and hurriedly took the reins.

"Qingqing girl, my hot water bottle is still wrapped in the quilt.

The water inside should not have frozen yet.

Take a handkerchief, dip it in water, and wipe your face. It will feel better."

When Lu Qingqing saw him take the reins, she returned to the carriage.

It was cleaned up quickly and when I came out, snowflakes were falling from the sky again.

To be honest, snow has almost become the norm these days.

However, the snow these days is no longer as heavy as before, and it is falling sporadically.

Lu Qingqing took the reins back and asked Old Man Zhuang to go to the carriage to sleep for a while.

Old Man Zhuang agreed, but did not go back. Instead, he sat on the shaft of the cart and chatted with Lu Qingqing.

We talked about everything from the capital to Shu, from the old to the young.

The old man started talking, spitting everywhere.

Lu Qingqing listened from the side and interjected from time to time.

This warm atmosphere made both of them feel less cold.

After turning a corner, several continuous mountain ranges appeared in front of the left side of the official road.

Old Man Zhuang pointed at the mountain and said with a smile:

"Qing girl, look at those mountains in front of you on the left.

When I was young, I followed my master and brothers to the mountains to collect herbs.

I can climb a mountain like this with ease.

Sometimes, we have to stay in the mountains at night when collecting herbs.

Hearing the wolf howling, my master and I climbed up a tree and hid there for the night.

I was so scared at that time, but when I think about it now, I feel happy.

Alas, everything is different now.

I’m old now, and I don’t have the energy to climb mountains anymore.”

Listening to his words, Lu Qingqing also remembered that she and Qin Lang had gone up the mountain to look for water.

At that time, we went to the back mountain of Lujia Village. The villagers went up the mountain together to look for water and encountered a pack of wolves.

At that time, she did not have the martial arts skills she has now, nor did she have so many life-saving weapons.

At that time, it was all thanks to Qin Lang and her working together and sticking with each other that they were able to get down the mountain alive.

Actually, it’s only been two or three years, but it feels like more than ten years.

Both of them opened up and walked forward while chatting.

By the time it got dark, we were almost at the foot of the mountains.

Old Man Zhuang wanted to go further in, but was stopped by Lu Qingqing.

The snow was thick and stayed in the mountains.

If there is an avalanche, it will be a big trouble.

She drove the carriage off the official road and walked a little further along the path.

Only stop after making sure that you won't be affected even if an avalanche occurs.

After parking the carriage, they began to build sheds on both sides of the carriage.

The snow beneath the official road was extremely thick, and the two men had to set up their tent with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

By the time the tent was set up, we were all sweating.

Old Man Zhuang rummaged through the cans in the carriage and poured out all the frozen vegetables inside.

He emptied three jars in a row before stopping.

Put several large bowls of frozen vegetables into the pot, add firewood under the stove, and wait for them to thaw.

Then, he took out a dozen frozen steamed buns and sugar-coated cakes and placed them on the grate on the upper layer of the pot.

Old Man Zhuang warmed his red, frozen fingers and called Lu Qingqing over to warm himself by the fire.

After a day of traveling and a fight, Lu Qingqing was tired.

The two of them squatted on stools, warming themselves by the fire and watching the flames flickering inside.

After eating and cleaning up, Lu Qingqing took out the white rope and bell that she had used for guarding.

This place is remote today, so she plans not to keep watch today.

Tie a bell and both of them can get some sleep.

You know, they have been traveling all the time these days and haven't had a full night's sleep for several days.

When she was done, she covered the still-glowing wood under the stove with ashes.

After confirming that there was no light here, he crawled into the tent and lay down with the hot water bottle in his arms.

In the middle of the night, Lu Qingqing suddenly heard the sound of a bell.

She was a light sleeper, and almost as soon as the bell rang, she quickly got up and put on a thick cotton jacket.

He picked up the bow and arrow, walked to the entrance of the tent, opened the curtain and looked outside.

The moonlight shone on the snow, and the light was quite bright.

There was nothing in sight except the snow.

At this moment, the sound of a horse's frightened neighing and its hooves scratching the ground came from the other side of the carriage.

Lu Qingqing immediately woke up Old Man Zhuang and asked him to secure the tent door from the inside.

Keep an eye on Qin Lang in the tent and don't come out.

She quietly walked out with her bow and arrow.

When he walked to the back of the carriage, he had already raised the bow and arrow in his hand.

Walking around the carriage, I saw Xiaobai standing up and then falling down in a violent manner.

Relying on the stomping of horse hooves, he tried to scare off the enemy.

In front of Xiaobai, two big wolves were lowering their bodies and making attacking movements.

When seeing the two wolves, Lu Qingqing's first reaction was to look around.

Wolves are social animals, so it would be fine if there was only one lone wolf.

If two wolves appear, there must be other wolves around.

She glanced around and saw other wolves about twenty or thirty meters away.

These wolves are scattered around, and if you shoot them rashly, you're probably only going to kill some of them.

The rest will inevitably scatter.

But wolves are particularly vengeful creatures. If you kill one of their companions, they will definitely come back for revenge.

Now, if the carriage wants to move forward, it must cross the mountains.

Lu Qingqing thought quickly, and suddenly an idea came to her.

He pointed his hand to the side, and the big wolf Jiaozi in the space was released.

When the cold wind blew, Jiaozi, who was sleeping, was forced to turn on the computer.

It was a little confused when it suddenly changed places.

But when it saw Lu Qingqing, it pounced on her subconsciously.

He put his legs on her and stretched his head to lick her.

Lu Qingqing dodged its steaming tongue, snored twice, and whispered:

"Dumpling, can you drive them away?"

Only then did Jiaozi shift his attention away from her.

When he saw two of the same kind in front of him, he was stunned for a moment.

It is used to living with other animals in the same space, and it is a little uncomfortable when it suddenly sees unfamiliar fellows.

But when he saw that the horse being besieged by its own kind was the one his owner often rode, he suddenly realized what was happening.

The big wolf Jiaozi lowered his body and let out a threatening roar.

"Ow~"
