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

After checking, I found out that he was exhausted.

She fetched a large bucket of space water and watched it gulp it down.

I brought more feed to replenish its energy.

I felt it was a bit monotonous, so I added a lot of refined grains and boiled soybeans, which it likes to eat.

As for the brown horse following behind, Lu Qingqing also gave it a bowl of space water and half a basin of feed.

It’s pretty good that this little guy didn’t fall behind and was able to run out successfully.

Looking at the two little guys lying on the snow eating, I was worried that they would catch a cold.

The two men brought oilcloth and straw mats and asked them to lie on them to eat.

Then, one of them took a horse brush and started brushing the two horses.

The horse squinted its eyes while eating.

I shake my ears from time to time, it feels so comfortable.

I combed the horses to remove the ice from their fur, and it was getting dark.

After this experience, the two of them did not rush on their journey anymore.

Instead, they set up a tent directly on the side of the road and planned to rest there at night.

Just as they were setting up the tent, people from the convoy came up behind them.

Having just experienced a life-and-death race, everyone in the team is in low spirits.

When they saw Lu Qingqing, the clan leader led everyone forward and thanked her again.

Lu Qingqing confiscated all the thank-you gifts they gave her.

Finally, it was the patriarch who brought over the soybeans to cook for the mule.

Lu Qingqing left the bowl of soybeans because she saw that Xiaobai liked it.

As we were talking, it gradually got dark.

Everyone in the convoy stopped and rested for a while before starting to cook.

Lu Qingqing and Old Man Zhuang were also tired, so they had a simple dinner and then lay down.

That night, as usual, two people took turns to keep watch.

Nothing happened all night.

At dawn the next day, Lu Qingqing and Old Man Zhuang said goodbye to everyone in the caravan and set off again in their carriage.

Behind them, a child saw them leaving, pointed at the carriage running away, and shouted anxiously:

"Grandpa, Dad, Young Master Lu has left, let's catch up!

What if there's another big tiger behind us? "

The child's grandfather looked at the carriage that was speeding away, touched the child's head, and had a loving look on his face.

"My dear grandson, we can't always rely on others.

The road ahead still depends on us.”

The child seemed to understand but not quite.

The patriarch next to him listened to this and nodded in agreement.

"Old Nine is right!

Well, it’s time for us to set off!”

As he said this, he climbed onto the mule cart, waved his whip and directed everyone to continue their journey.

In front, Lu Qingqing drove the carriage and moved quickly along the official road.

On the way, we met a few refugees who were on their way.

When they saw the bloody knife hanging on the front of Lu Qingqing's car, they just dodged from a distance.

In the next few days, except when he was driving the carriage, Old Man Zhuang spent the rest of his time studying the tiger's body parts.

However, most of the materials will be in short supply.

For example, the tiger gall, tiger bone and tiger penis wine that Old Man Zhuang wanted to make were all shelved due to the lack of good wine.

But all the parts were processed by Old Man Zhuang and then placed in the box at the back of the carriage.

I plan to purchase some supplies and make all these things when I come across a town again.

While Old Man Zhuang was studying the tiger bones, Lu Qingqing continued her research with the map.

According to the map, the mountain range behind them stretches from east to west.

After the avalanche, it will be inconvenient to travel for several days.

Whether it is the Dashun army or the barbarian army, if they want to go south, they can only take a detour.

This actually bought them some time.

Lu Qingqing silently pondered the route and looked at the next city on the map, Yancheng.

According to the distance, if the carriage travels at normal speed, it will take at least six days to arrive.

During the journey, you will come across two villages and a small town.

There are no large mountains behind.

Two days later.

Lu Qingqing was driving the car when she heard crackling sounds coming from the roof.

She reacted almost instantly.

Looking down at the ground, I saw that it was indeed small hailstones the size of a fingernail.

Old Man Zhuang also heard the noise and hurriedly stuck his head out of the carriage.

When he saw it started to hail again, he hurried back to the carriage and quickly came out with a few thick mattresses.

At this moment, Lu Qingqing had already stopped the car and was going to put up a safety fence for the horse following behind.

This was made by Old Man Zhuang himself using two thick wooden boards and four sticks.

The wooden shed is similar to the sunshade for electric vehicles and is specially designed to prevent hail.

However, this is the first time I have used it since it was made.

After quickly securing it, Lu Qingqing and Old Man Zhuang climbed onto the carriage and spread out the bedding.

In fact, there are wooden boards, tarpaulins and straw mats on the roof of the carriage to block hail.

But it would always be better to add some bedding for cushioning.

It only took the two of them a few minutes to finish their work and return to the carriage.

At this time, the hailstones were only the size of cherries.

Seeing that the hail did not cause much damage, Lu Qingqing simply drove the carriage forward.

Hearing the crackling of small hailstones hitting the roof of the car, the two men no longer felt the panic they had before.

After walking a short distance, I saw a forest where I could take shelter.

Lu Qingqing drove the carriage off the official road and headed towards the woods.

This forest was still covered with lush leaves before the temperature dropped.

The sudden drop in temperature and snowfall covered the branches and leaves of the forest with a thick layer of snow.

At this moment, hailstones hit the leaves and branches covered with snow, and the snow blocks and branches fell from time to time.

As the carriage entered the woods, the sound of hail hitting the roof gradually disappeared.

Old man Zhuang put his hat back on and placed a wooden bench on his head before jumping out of the car.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the horse following behind him was fine.

He was just about to lead the horse back to the awning in front when he saw someone in the woods.

I glanced twice again to confirm that there was really someone there.

He didn't say anything, quickly led the horse back to the front, and told Lu Qingqing what happened.

Lu Qingqing combed the ice chips off Xiaobai's body.

He took the small stool and held it on his head, then stretched his head to look outside.

Sure enough, I saw some people squatting against the trees in the innermost part of the woods.

However, most of those people were hiding behind trees, so I couldn’t see the specific situation clearly.

At this moment, the people over there were also looking over here.

Lu Qingqing took out the compound bow and placed it next to her.

If these people have no ill intentions, they will return to their normal ways after the hail stops.

But if they dare to take action, don't blame her for being rude.

Seeing this, Old Man Zhuang followed suit and took out a big knife and placed it beside his leg.

Outside, the hail was getting bigger and heavier.

The trees above could not withstand the dense hailstorm and many holes had been smashed into them.

Hailstones fell through the gaps and hit the roof of the carriage, making a loud "bang bang" sound.
