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

When they came back, Qi Ge'er pointed out a few people in the crowd and arranged them to guard the village entrance.

He also specifically reminded them that it usually takes about two or three days for the old fire to set up the kang.

Two days later, the people on duty must be extra careful and not let anyone escape.

The men agreed and walked back with their necks hunched due to the cold.

Many people thought of the trembling arrow just now and began to back down.

But when I got home, I saw the empty rice jar and my relatives waiting for food.

I gritted my teeth and decided to go along with it.

These days, people always die!

If others don't die, they must die!

As for whether to kill others or yourself, you don’t even have to think about it.

Moreover, Brother Qi also planned to rob other villages later.

At that time, you have to take the initiative to kill people!

Many people made up their minds to follow suit, but when faced with questions from their families, they said nothing.

After they returned to the house, they shook off the snow on their bodies, huddled back on the kang and stopped moving.

Lying curled up like this will make my stomach feel less uncomfortable when I'm hungry.

On the other side, the carriage ran for a long distance before Sun Laohai dared to stand up and look back by leaning on the carriage.

Seeing that no one was chasing after him, he relaxed.

Looking at the frightened old man beside him, he patted his arm and said a few words to comfort him.

Old Firehead was not much comforted.

Sun Laohai will be safe once he returns to town!

But after setting up the kang, he still had to go back to Gouzi Village!

But the people of Xiaoliu Village were willing to let them go this time.

But it’s hard to say what will happen when he returns.

They all knew that they were going there to earn money and they would not be able to come back without money.

By then, it would be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.

Thinking of this, he raised his voice and asked Lu Qingqing with a worried look on his face.

"Brother Lu, wait until I finish setting up the kang before heading back.

What if people from Xiaoliu Village stop the car again?

What he didn't say was, actually, after I have set up the kang, will you still send me back?

Even if I send him, can he return safely?

Lu Qingqing heard the worry in his words, thought for a moment, and asked:

"Uncle Huotou, is there any other way to get back to Gouzi Village?"

The old fireman shook his head.

“Gouzi Village has a special location, and I want to go back to it.

Either you have to go around the mountain in the north, or you have to pass through Xiaoliu Village.

Under normal circumstances, going around the mountain would just take a little longer.

But in this kind of weather, the wild beasts in the mountains can’t find food, so going up the mountain is tantamount to committing suicide.”

Next to him, Sun Laohai listened to this and sighed secretly.

He was not stupid, and after hearing what Sun Laohai said, he finally realized what was going on.

The people in Xiaoliu Village are all as thin as bamboo poles.

It seems that the family has run out of food.

People are starving to death, how can we show any mercy?

I'm afraid nothing good will happen to Old Firehead when he goes back.

But he was not familiar with this area, he had just asked Lao Huotou to come over once before.

Actually, he didn't have any good solution.

They both looked at Lu Qingqing, wanting to know what she had in mind.

Lu Qingqing saw that the road ahead was quite wide, so she let Xiaobai pull the cart by himself.

She turned to look at Lao Huotou and saw that the two wrinkles between his eyebrows had become deeper.

Fearing that he would ask to go back, she quickly comforted him:

"Uncle Huotou, it's really not safe to go up the mountain at this time.

Don't worry, after the kang is set up, Xiaolang and I will drive you back.

As for the people in Xiaoliu Village, there is no need to worry too much.

Xiao Lang and I are both martial artists. With us protecting you, they can't hurt you!"

Old Huotou obviously didn't quite believe what he said.

There were more than twenty men there. Even though they were very hungry, they were more than two people could handle!

Lu Qingqing saw that he didn't believe it and explained:

"Uncle Huotou, you may think I am bragging when I say this!

To be honest, we broke out on the night the capital fell.

From the capital all the way here, I encountered countless robbers and murderers on the road.

If we can reach Fushan Town safely, we can send you back to Gouzi Village safely, what do you think?"

When Lao Huotou and Sun Laohai heard this, they were both stunned.

Is this the capital?

They have lived for most of their lives and have never been to the capital.

However, I did meet merchants traveling between the capital and Jianzhou Prefecture.

I heard that it takes them nearly a year to go back and forth.

It’s a one-year journey. I really can’t imagine how far it is!

Sun Laohai thought of the strange-looking bow and arrow, and the long sword that Lu Qingqing took out.

I believe this about 70% of the time.

The old fireman next to him didn't say anything more after hearing this.

In fact, believe it or not, he had no other choice.

If you get off the bus now and go back, you still have to go through Xiaoliu Village.

He couldn't guarantee that nothing would happen if he passed through Xiaoliu Village empty-handed!

Forget it, this time I can only choose to believe it!

Fortunately, he came out with the intention of losing his life.

Before leaving, he also told his wife and sons about his funeral arrangements.

The family property was also divided.

Even if he died, his sons would not fight over the family property.

Thinking of this, he held the hot water bottle and went back to the brazier to warm himself by the fire.

Seeing that he didn't say anything more, Lu Qingqing concentrated on driving the carriage back.

They walked until it was completely dark before returning to Toyama Town.

When they arrived at Fushan Town, Sun Laohai could no longer sit still and frequently leaned on the door of the carriage to look outside.

When I saw the gate of my own house, I felt like I had survived a disaster.

He jumped out of the car and just knocked on the gate when he heard hurried footsteps in the yard.

The courtyard gate opened, and his wife and sons ran out with anxious looks on their faces.

Sun Laohai wanted to hug his wife and son in his arms, but he held back.

There are outsiders here now, so it would be awkward to hug each other.

When Lu Qingqing saw their family reunited, she also missed Qin Lang and the others.

After saying goodbye to Sun Laohai and his family, he drove back to the courtyard.

As soon as she stopped the carriage, Qin Lang ran out.

He held the lantern and checked Lu Qingqing up and down to see if she was injured.

After making sure that everything was fine, he greeted the old fireman behind him.

When Lao Huotou saw Qin Lang's size, he thought he was the Xiao Lang that Lu Qingqing mentioned.

With this physique, it looks like he can really fight several people.

Well, the big guy Qin Lang was pulling the carriage and whispering to Lu Qingqing.

"Qingqing, why did you take so long?

It's getting dark, and you haven't come back yet. I'm so worried!"

“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.

But the country roads are difficult to walk on.

Some places are very narrow, so the carriage has to be extremely careful when moving, which is why it moves slowly."

“I’m waiting at home, I’m really worried.

When we go out again, I'll go with you!"

Lu Qingqing listened to Qin Lang's words and did not refuse.

Xiao Lang really needs to go over to Xiaoliu Village to help.

The three of them entered the yard, and Old Man Zhuang and Sun Yue also ran out of the house.

Old man Zhuang was still holding a wooden cooking spatula in his hand.

I was relieved to see Lu Qingqing return safely.

When she looked at the old fireman behind her, she smiled and walked up to greet him.

After a round of greetings, Qin Lang placed the old fireman's bedding on the kang in their room.

After brushing Xiaobai's fur, Lu Qingqing took out a thicker blanket and spread it on Lao Huotou.

At this time, the old fireman had already gone to see the room where the kang was to be set up.

He asked Qin Lang about the requirements for the kang, and then went to look at the materials that had been delivered, and he had a clear idea in his mind.
