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

God knows, he is watching Qingqing School playing games in modern times.

How much that boy hated himself for not having a physical body when he carried Qingqing in his arms like a princess.

After these days, he finally found an opportunity.

However, Qingqing is so thin that she feels like she weighs nothing when he holds her.

No, he has to figure out how to make something delicious these days.

How does the saying go? You have to fatten your own wife yourself.

While pouring the water, a series of thoughts flashed through Qin Lang's mind.

When I returned to the room, I saw Qingqing lying down and seemed to be asleep.

He moved gently, rinsed the used basin briefly, and placed it in the corner.

He went to extinguish the candle on the table before climbing onto the kang.

I crawled into the warm bed and lay down, my feet almost touching the wall.

However, the kang set up by the old fireman is really good.

Even the edge of the kang where my feet were resting was very warm.

When you lie down flat, the heat will spread upwards from the kang surface.

Soon, my whole body was warmed.

Listening to the shallow breathing beside him, Qin Lang became a little nervous.

Lu Qingqing, who was standing next to him, didn't notice anything was wrong at all.

In her opinion, she and Qin Lang had known each other for several years and had always slept together.

Today is no different from before, each of us has our own quilt.

Lying in the warm bed, she fell asleep soon.

Qin Lang heard the breathing next to him become longer and he knew that Qingqing had fallen asleep.

He quietly reached out his hand and crawled out from under the quilt.

After coming to Qingqing's bed, he gently held her hand.

Lu Qingqing's hands have many thin calluses on the palms and fingertips because of practicing sword and knife.

And because of martial arts training, his fingers are not slender but very powerful.

Holding Qingqing's hand, Qin Lang felt very at peace and fell asleep quickly.

The next day, before Qingqing woke up, he quietly pulled his hand out.

In the pitch-black environment, I couldn't see his face.

He moved closer to Qingqing.

Listening to the breathing sounds beside me, I fell asleep again.

When I woke up again, Qingqing had already put on her clothes and was about to go out.

When the door opened, it was already bright outside.

A hint of cool air came in, and Qin Lang, who was half-supporting himself in the quilt, shivered and shrank back.

In the yard, Old Man Zhuang got up early. When he saw Lu Qingqing coming out, he hurriedly pulled her aside to ask about what happened yesterday.

After finding out that there were about a hundred traveling merchants, I felt a little relieved.

Having experienced being captured by thousands of cavalrymen, this situation involving only a few dozen people was not so scary after all.

The four of them had a simple breakfast. Old Man Zhuang and Sun Yue stayed at home, while Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang went to Old Man Sun's house next door.

As agreed last night, they informed Sun Laohai's family of what they had discovered.

Sun Laohai had never experienced this kind of situation before, and for a moment he was at a loss as to what to do.

Sun Dahai was a bit more courageous than his father. When he heard that group of people were forcing him to buy food, he said indignantly:

"If these people act this way, they will definitely come and cause trouble for us once their food is gone.

In my opinion, it would be better for the village to organize and drive them out!"

Neither Lu Qingqing nor Qin Lang expected that Sun Dahai was so courageous.

The two of them had considered this proposal when they discussed it yesterday.

However, the four of them were outsiders after all, and it was difficult for them to organize the villagers.

Therefore, I had to settle for the second best option and chose the stalking option.

Now, after hearing what Sun Dahai said, he wanted to speak up in support.

However, he didn't expect that before he could even say it, it was rejected by Sun Laohai.

"Da Hai, what nonsense are you talking about!

We don't even know the details of that group of merchants, why are you showing off!"

Sun Laohai's wife also said:

"Yes, Dahai, your father is right!

Your suggestion sounds simple.

If something happens to one of the men during the fight.

What do you want their families to do?

By that time, whoever came up with this idea will inevitably be blamed!

Besides, that group of traveling merchants didn’t just rob people outright.

Didn’t they return the money to the Qian family?

In my opinion, we should not take action right away, but wait and see what happens first!"

After hearing what his parents said, Sun Dahai stopped talking.

Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang looked at each other and then proposed.

After discussing with the villagers, they took turns to send people to keep an eye on that group of traveling merchants.

Sun Laohai and his wife both agreed with this proposal.

Sun Dahai and several of his brothers also agreed.

Immediately, the whole family went out to call for help.

A quarter of an hour later, the rooms in Sun Laohai's house were packed with people.

Except for the residents on Front Street, every household in the entire Toyama Town came with one or two people.

Even Shopkeeper Wu came over.

When he saw Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang, he hurried forward to greet them.

"Brother Lu, Brother Qin, our family has moved to the back of your house.

Let’s keep in touch from now on!”

Lu Qingqing looked at the dark circles under Shopkeeper Wu's eyes and knew that his family had probably moved overnight.

He immediately agreed with a smile and asked about the moving situation.

Only then did I learn that Manager Wu and his family had been moving until dawn.

Most of the things in the shop have been moved.

The rest are also very heavy and large items.

Manager Wu plans to move it back if he has the chance.

If it’s not safe, just throw the big items there first!

Wait until it is safe and then go back.

The three of them were chatting when they heard Sun Laohai clear his throat and said:

"Dear fellow villagers, I am calling everyone here today.

A group of traveling merchants came to the shop on the front street.

He said he was a traveling merchant, but he acted very domineeringly.

The Qian family, who ran a grain shop, had been scared away by them.

Shopkeeper Wu knows about this matter, please come and tell everyone about it!"

Shopkeeper Wu briefly told everyone what happened that day.

After hearing this, all the villagers became nervous.

In fact, there were also people from other places passing through the town in the past two years.

But after all, there are not many people, and none of them are tough guys.

There were a few people who wanted to take advantage, but they were frightened by the Qian family and several families with many men.

There were very few times when we actually took action.

At this time, hearing that these guys were not good people, the villagers also started to talk in low voices.

Sun Laohai listened to everyone talking for a while and roughly recognized several kinds of voices.

Among them, there are quite a few who are just like his son.

I wanted to organize the villagers to drive those people out.

Most of those who raised these questions were young guys.

The rest of the people were thinking about how to defend.

In fact, this is also the way most Chinese people think.

If no one offends me, I will not offend anyone!

But if someone really comes to my doorstep to kill me, I will kill him at all costs!

Sun Laohai had heard enough and asked everyone to stop.

"My fellow villagers, we are all ordinary people.

If we can avoid fighting, we don’t want to start a fight.

But we are different from that group of traveling merchants.

There are hundreds of men living together, but we live in separate households.

If they really have bad intentions and come to our houses at night, we will be killed!

So, I thought that we villagers should take turns to keep an eye on him.

Let's all think about it, and if it works, let's do it."
