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

Lu Qingqing continued to aim her pistol at the leopard on the ground, fearing that it was faking its death.

"Quick, pull them up first!"

Sun Laohai and the others, who were holding onto the rope above, were startled by the loud gunshot.

Upon hearing Lu Qingqing's words, he quickly grabbed the rope and continued to pull upwards.

Seeing that the mulberry quilt was being pulled upwards, Lu Qingqing said to Qin Lang behind her:

"Xiao Lang, loosen the rope, I'm going down to check!"

Qin Lang stood a step away from the cave entrance, listening to these words with some worry.

"Qingqing, let's wait a little longer."

What if the leopard was faking its death?

Despite the ever-growing pool of blood beneath the leopard, Lu Qingqing persisted.

"It's okay, I'll go down to a slightly farther location."

If it can still move, shoot it again.

Seeing her insistence, Qin Lang had no choice but to pull on the rope and walk a short distance to the side.

Only after making sure that Lu Qingqing was as far away from the leopard as possible after getting off did they slowly loosen the rope.

After Lu Qingqing went down into the snow cave and untied the rope, the first thing she did was check on the leopard on the ground.

Only after confirming that the guy was truly dead did they pick up the torch and begin to examine the situation inside the snow cave.

The remaining two villagers were terrified and were following closely behind her.

Lu Qingqing was worried about their health, so she told them to sit in the middle and wait.

They agreed, but still followed.

Helpless, Lu Qingqing had no choice but to let the two of them follow behind her.

Holding a torch, she began to explore the snow cave from her left.

As I approached the corner, I could vaguely see something on the ground ahead.

She gripped her pistol tightly and threw the torch over.

When she saw the scene clearly, her breath caught in her throat for a moment.

The two villagers following behind were even more frightened and screamed incessantly.

Those above the snow cave were on edge, thinking they were in danger again.

Qin Lang asked anxiously as he tied the rope around his waist.

Lu Qingqing calmed herself down and told them that nothing had happened.

She stepped forward and picked up the torch.

Looking at the gnawed corpse on the ground, he suppressed his discomfort and began to examine it.

The clothes on the corpse were torn open from the abdomen.

It was covered in blood and uneaten entrails, and the surrounding area was a bloody mess.

When she saw the piece of intestine that had been eaten, she couldn't help but look away.

He went up and touched the neck; the body was already frozen solid.

At this moment, one of the two villagers behind them had recovered somewhat.

He hunched his shoulders and leaned forward for a look, then cried out in a sorrowful voice:

"It's an achievement? Oh my, how can it be an achievement?!"

Another villager, who hadn't dared to get closer, couldn't help but sigh when he heard that it was Cheng Guo who had died.

"Chengguo only has one daughter, and doesn't even have a son."

"What will happen to his mother, wife, and daughter now that he's dead?"

Knowing it was someone they knew, even though his body had been mutilated beyond recognition, the two were no longer so afraid.

Together with Lu Qingqing, they simply gathered up and arranged Cheng Guo's body.

She used the torn cotton-padded jacket to barely cover her hollowed-out abdomen.

After putting away the results, Lu Qingqing let out a deep breath.

After checking the snow cave again to make sure there was no danger, they returned to the center of the snow cave.

They pulled the motionless people out of the snow and touched their necks.

When they detected a faint heartbeat, they quickly took the water bag from their waist and fed the man water.

Seeing that the two villagers next to her were still in a daze, she called them over.

Let them help by rubbing the hands and feet of the person who has been given water.

She then went to save the people nearby.

While they were busy working, Qin Lang had already climbed down the rope.

When I smelled the strong stench of blood inside, my heart sank.

Seeing that Lu Qingqing was busy rescuing people, he also stepped forward to help.

Fifteen minutes later, three people were left above to watch the rope and pull people out.

The rest of the people went down into the snow cave.

By this time, a fire had been lit inside the snow cave.

They used the thatch, branches, and leaves that were used to conceal the traps above the snow cave.

There were nine people lying around the fire.

Not far away, there were three more corpses.

Of those who fell, the two at the very bottom died.

When Lu Qingqing checked, she found bloodstains on both of their heads, indicating that they must have hit their heads when they landed.

When she touched it, its body was already frozen stiff.

In addition, there are the results of being eaten by leopards.

Looking at the marks on the ground, Lu Qingqing guessed when he fell.

It must have landed on someone else and wasn't seriously injured.

But he was the only one who didn't faint and saw the leopard in the darkness.

In a panic, he instinctively ran away.

This running around is going to be troublesome.

In this confined space, how could a leopard allow another living creature to appear?

I don't know what he went through before he died.

At this moment, Sun Laohai and several men were following what Lu Qingqing had taught them.

He was rubbing the hands, feet, and neck of a villager who was still unconscious.

Of the nine surviving villagers, six have woken up, while three remain unconscious.

However, two of the six people who woke up were also in very poor condition.

After Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang heated up some water in their space and fed it to the group, they also repeated the actions of massaging and rubbing to improve blood circulation, and continued to feed them hot water.

After repeating this several times, the group seemed to be in better condition, so they decided to head back.

Qin Lang and Sun Dahai went up first and helped pull people up from above.

Lu Qingqing and Sun Laohai were below, helping to tie the ropes to the people.

Those who are still conscious are easier to handle.

But a person in a coma cannot adjust their body to cooperate.

When you pull it upwards, it's easy for it to wobble left and right.

When you get to the entrance of the cave, you are more likely to bump into things.

After working for quite a while, they finally managed to bring all the villagers up.

Even the leopard was pulled up.

As for the leopard and the bodies of the three villagers, they must also be taken back.

Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang went to the vicinity to 'find' some wood and tied it up to make a simple wooden raft.

The leopard was placed at the bottom, and three corpses were placed on top of it.

Qin Lang and Sun Dahai each took a rope and dragged the raft downhill.

The remaining people helped the villagers they found and slowly walked back.

This time, as usual, Lu Qingqing took the lead.

Having the memory of the way up the mountain, Lu Qingqing was able to issue early warnings when she encountered potential landslide locations.

Once you're ready, proceed.

By the time they reached the back, the villagers were exhausted.

Lu Qingqing made a simple snow shelter out of tarpaulin.

The group sat down to rest for about fifteen minutes before continuing their journey.

By the time we reached the foot of the mountain, it was already getting light.

The villager who was guarding the bottom was exhausted, but he dared not sleep in such cold weather.

In a daze, he saw everyone returning and hurriedly went to greet them.

Upon seeing familiar faces, they greeted each other with cheerful smiles.

When he saw the raft that Qin Lang and Sun Dahai were pulling at the back, his smile froze.

At the very top is his cousin, Cheng Guo.
