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

When Qin's father saw that everyone had left, he became even more proud.

"Lord Lu has already said that we should discuss this properly. I'm not someone who would be unreasonable. How about this? I only want half of the food my daughter bought. If you give me four bags of food, I'll leave."

When Old Man Lu heard that he dared to ask for four bags, he spat at him angrily and cursed:

"Bah! You are so shameless! You're still half-hearted. The third brother's wife is now a member of my family. I was so generous to give you those two bags. How dare you ask for them? Do you think I have no one in my family?"

As Old Man Lu spoke, he attacked Qin's father. Qin's father naturally couldn't stand to be at a disadvantage, so he threw the bag aside and the two men started fighting.

Seeing his father suffer, Boss Lu wanted to go up and help, but was held back by Qin Wen.

Mr. Lu was much stronger than Qin Wen. In anger, he pinned Qin Wen down and beat him, making him scream.

Lu Laosan was still arguing with Qin Wu, and neither of them really took action. When Lu Laosan proposed to Qin Li'niang, he bought many things for his brother-in-law to coax him.

Qin Wu didn't really want to fall out with his brother-in-law. He still expected his brother-in-law to take care of him in the future.

The two of them just pulled at each other's clothes, pretending to pull them.

At this time, Old Mrs. Lu was also drowsy. Seeing the Qin father and son bullying her son, she forced herself to get up and rushed towards Qin Li'niang.

Old Lady Lu grabbed Qin Li'niang's hair with one hand and slapped her in the face with her other hand, making Qin Li'niang scream in pain.

Lu Laosan no longer cared about pretending. He let go of Qin Wu and went to rescue his wife.

Old Mrs. Lu was held back by her son. Seeing that he still didn't forget to help his wife at this time, she was so angry that she almost fell down.

When Old Man Lu saw his youngest son like this, he was so angry that he wanted to kick him twice.

But it was obvious that the third brother was not trying hard, and among the remaining people, neither side could beat the other.

After all, he was older than Qin's father, and he was hit several times by Qin's father during the struggle. His face and body were in pain, so he discussed with Qin's father:

"We have quite a few people in our family, so we can't possibly give you that much food. After all, we are relatives. I'll give you a bag of food, okay?"

Seeing that Old Man Lu had given in, Father Qin continued:

"One bag won't do, at least three bags, or this thing won't end!"

Old Man Lu said angrily:

"Don't be so shameless, it's just two bags at most, otherwise I'll just rely on you and wait until tomorrow morning to see who the villagers will help!"

Old man Lu was so angry that he yelled, waking up the children who were already asleep.

The old man had always had a bad temper and cursed directly:

"You two families, please discuss your messed up business quietly. Don't argue. If you wake up my grandson, I'll punish you!"

Old Man Lu heard that the family was a family with many sons in the village, and that they were older than himself in terms of seniority. He immediately became quiet and spoke to Qin's father in a low voice.

The two sides whispered for a while, and finally the Qin father and son left with two bags of grain.

Old Man Lu was so angry that he couldn't sleep all night and stared until dawn.

......

That afternoon, Lu Qingqing followed the ox cart, and was blown forward by the wind behind her. She adjusted the veil on her head.

In order to see the road clearly, the veil of the hat was hung up. There was a lot of dust in the wind at this time. Lu Qingqing, who had been blinded by the wind and dust several times, had become accustomed to squinting her eyes to see the road.

Her eyes fell on the barren fields by the roadside. As far as the eye could see, there was a large expanse of earthy yellow.

After leaving Pingkang County, we haven't found any water source for six days, not even a small river or stream. Now some people in the team have started collecting urine.

Lu Qingqing listened to the sound of the wind and hurriedly lowered the curtain of her veil. Soon the wind blew over, and the sand carried in the wind hit her body, causing some pain.

At this time, most of the people in the team were wearing a modified version of the veil hat, most of which had a circle of cloth sewn on the hat to block the wind and sand.

When the wind started yesterday, people didn't know how strong the sandstorm was. They had their necks filled with sand, and it felt very uncomfortable to have the sand bite on their bodies.

Hearing the wind behind her getting stronger and stronger, Lu Qingqing felt a little nervous as there were no trees around to block her view.

Lu Tianming in the front was also frowning and looking back. The sky was dim and the wind and sand were strong, so he couldn't see too far away.

Lu Tianming shouted at everyone to speed up and move forward, but he started coughing as soon as he finished speaking. He had swallowed a mouthful of sand while talking.

The villagers also heard the sound of the wind coming from behind them and the sand hitting their bodies from time to time, and they unconsciously quickened their pace.

There was no sound of talking in the team at this moment, and everyone moved forward in silence.

Finally, after more than half an hour, we came across a forest.

Several groups of refugees must have passed by ahead, and all the leaves on the trees had been picked clean.

Lu Tianming rang the gong to ask everyone to stop. In fact, it was not yet the usual time to rest and it was still daylight, but no one questioned it. The loud sound of the wind made them panic.

After stopping, everyone walked into the woods at the same time.

Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang were also pulling the ox cart inside. They wanted to go further inside, but they heard the whistling sound of wind coming from behind.

Without time to look back, he quickly pulled Qin Lang to hide beside a big tree.

A strong wind blew up sand from behind. Lu Qingqing staggered and hugged the big tree beside her.

The cow was so frightened that it kept crying out, and only calmed down when Qin Lang pulled the reins tightly.

At the same time, people's screams were heard from behind. Some people were caught off guard and rolled over by the wind, and some people's luggage was blown away by the wind.

Lu Qingqing squatted down and buried her head in her knees. Sand and dust fell on her head and clothes. The air was full of dust, and it was choking to breathe.

As soon as the wind stopped, Lu Qingqing immediately tied the reins of the ox cart tightly to the tree, and then took out a rope to tie Qin Lang and herself to the tree. The two of them remained squatting on the ground and hugging the tree.

The people around were also trying to save themselves quickly, tying up the children around them first, and then taking care of themselves and their luggage.

Many families had not yet finished packing when they heard a terrifying howling wind in the distance, and they had to hold on to the big trees beside them.

The strong wind brought with it a lot of yellow sand, and in an instant, the whole environment turned yellow.

Lu Qingqing only felt countless grains of sand hitting her face and body, and the dust seemed to penetrate every pore. Even if she buried her head in her knees, the wind and sand would still blow in.

Even if dust entered her nose and mouth through her respiratory tract, she could only force herself not to cough, because if she opened her mouth, she would get a mouthful of sand.

Even if I closed my eyes tightly, sand still hit my eyes and nose from time to time, making my eyes tear up unconsciously.

The strong wind made her sway. Qin Lang held her hand tightly with one hand and held the tree with the other hand. His nails were bleeding.

From time to time, branches blew in from a distance and hit the ox cart, making a sound of breaking branches. The ox cart was also blown away, and the oxen were dragged by the cart, making terrified mooing sounds.
