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

As soon as Qin Lang entered the space, he consciously took the basin to scoop water, and the two of them washed their hands first.

Before eating meat yesterday, Lu Qingqing was worried that the two of them would have diarrhea from eating too much oil, but they were both fine all day today.

Since there was no problem with eating meat, Lu Qingqing no longer hesitated. After taking out the meat that was not finished yesterday, she felt that the meat was a little too little.

He also asked Qin Lang to pick out a few pieces of meat that he liked from the pot. After cutting them all, he filled four large bowls in total.

At this time, Qin Lang had already prepared the pancakes and side dishes such as cucumbers, green onions, pickles, etc., and was waiting by the side.

As the old saying goes, if you eat meat without garlic, the flavor will be half gone. Seeing that Qin Lang didn't prepare any garlic, Lu Qingqing went to get a few more heads of garlic.

The two of them wrapped the meat in pancakes, taking bites of meat and garlic, and ate until their stomachs were full.

After eating, Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang lay on the mat and didn't want to move.

But soon, the itching from her scalp reminded Lu Qingqing that it was time to take a shower.

I have been fleeing from famine for so long and have not had the chance to take a shower. Not only does my body feel uncomfortable, but my scalp is also very itchy.

Lu Qingqing asked Qin Lang to go out and pack the bedding first, while she prepared to boil water for a bath.

The well water in the space was still a little cold, so Lu Qingqing boiled some more hot water.

Because her body was so dirty, Lu Qingqing first washed her hair in a small basin, adding bath beans and washing it three times before foam started to form. The water from the first two rinses was black.

After her hair foamed up, Lu Qingqing began to comb her scalp with a comb. Each stroke not only untangled the tangled hair, but also relieved the itchiness of her scalp.

After taking a shower, Lu Qingqing felt refreshed and felt like she had lost two pounds.

After changing into clean clothes and wrapping her hair with a cloth, Lu Qingqing left the space.

Outside, Qin Lang had already made his bed and was sitting at the table in the inn, playing with the teething stick hanging around his neck out of boredom.

Qin Lang was allowed to go into the space to take a shower. Lu Qingqing saw that the bedding had been laid out. The quilt from the inn was laid underneath, and her own bedding was laid on top. It looked soft and comfortable.

Lu Qingqing lay on the bed with her arms and legs spread out, feeling relaxed both physically and mentally.

After fleeing famine for so long, the fatigue and anxiety that had been filling my body finally subsided.

After Qin Lang finished washing, the two of them lay on the comfortable bed and had their first good sleep in a long time.

In the morning, Lu Qingqing put away her bedding and just went out when she met the waiter who came to deliver shoes.

Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang tried on the shoes. They found the soles were very thick and comfortable to wear. After accepting the shoes and paying the balance, they returned to the backyard.

In the backyard, some families had already gone out, and some were planning to go out to buy things. Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang also caught the ox cart and went out.

Not far from the inn, we saw a row of strong men holding weapons standing in front of a grain store.

There was a long queue of people buying food in front of the store, including many villagers.

From a distance, I could hear people complaining about the high food prices and how they couldn't afford to eat.

Although there were complaints, families with little food had no choice but to line up and buy food.

There was too much food in Lu Qingqing's space, so she walked past the grain store and continued walking inside. During the walk, she passed by many cloth shops, but unfortunately, they were all closed.

There weren't many pedestrians on the street, and most of those going out were carrying buckets of water, probably having just come back from fetching water.

Lu Qingqing planned to walk in to see if there was a blacksmith shop.

The arrows in her hand were consumables. Even though they were recycled after each use, the arrowheads were still a little worn out.

Unfortunately, after they walked around both streets, they only found one blacksmith shop, and it was closed.

At the corner at the end of the street, there was a grocery store that was still open, with only the owner in the store.

When he saw the half-grown child Lu Qingqing coming in, he did not look down on her but greeted her warmly.

The two hundred taels of silver she earned from selling water had not been spent yet, and Lu Qingqing, with a bulging wallet, felt very confident and started walking around the store.

Seeing that there were still a lot of candies of various types, I asked the shopkeeper to pack them up directly.

Seeing another kind of sweet and sour preserved fruit, Lu Qingqing bought a whole can. She walked around and selected, and bought a lot of miscellaneous things.

Feeling that she had made her choice, she went out to look at cars and asked Qin Lang to choose some more that he liked.

After they finished selecting, the counter was piled full, and the shopkeeper had to use four large bags to pack it up.

After paying the money, the shopkeeper helped me put the things on the ox cart. I asked the shopkeeper and found out which blacksmith shop was in the county town.

The two of them circled the city's main street again, but returned empty-handed.

Just as the two were planning to go back to the inn to meet up, Lu Qingqing saw an old man selling some straw sandals on the street. She thought that if the cloth shoes were not enough, the straw sandals could last for a while, so she planned to buy a few pairs.

When the old man saw the two people getting out of the car, a look of surprise appeared on his wrinkled face.

Seeing that the shoes were woven sturdily, Lu Qingqing tried them on with Qin Lang and thought they were good, so she bought several pairs of straw sandals of the right size.

Before leaving, Lu Qingqing subconsciously asked the old man about the blacksmith shop, but unexpectedly learned the address of the blacksmith's home.

The old man lived not far from the blacksmith's house, and the blacksmith's family was planning to leave in the next day or two.

Lu Qingqing followed the old man's instructions and came to the blacksmith's house, where the blacksmith and his family were packing their luggage.

The blacksmith's wife was still complaining that she couldn't take away so many ironware at home, which was a pity.

The blacksmith's wife was very enthusiastic when she saw that the people came to buy something. However, when she heard that they wanted to buy arrows, the smile on her face froze.

When the news of the barbarians came in, they helped the government to make a large number of arrows, but the government never came to collect the remaining two boxes of arrows.

However, this thing has never been allowed to be bought and sold, and if it is discovered, it is a serious crime.

The blacksmith wanted to kick the man out, but Lu Qingqing quickly said that she could pay more and explained that she was just trying to protect herself and was not a bad person.

The blacksmith's wife was tempted by the money. Their family had earned a lot of ironware over the years, which was not enough for food or drink, and the little food they bought would not last long.

Thinking of this, the blacksmith's wife pulled the blacksmith away and pulled Lu Qingqing and the others into the house.

Lu Qingqing bought all the arrows in the two boxes, and also bought some sharpened iron spear heads. These things could be placed in deep pit traps in space.

The blacksmith helped Lu Qingqing and the others load the things into the car. After they left, the blacksmith's wife was so happy that she couldn't help but smile as she took in the silver she had earned.

The blacksmith also smiled and quickly told his wife and son to buy food and water, as they had to leave as soon as possible.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lu Qingqing and the other party hurried back.

When they returned, the team had already gathered. Lu Tianming breathed a sigh of relief when he saw them come back.

When the group left the city, Lu Qingqing noticed that most of the people traveling were families, at least four or five people, and they all brought luggage. It was almost impossible to see people traveling alone on the road as before.

Even most of the families in the team bought some more food, not to mention the bathtubs on the car, each family prepared a full bucket of water.

The team's progress inevitably slowed down. Although Lu Tianming, who was walking in front, was anxious, there was nothing he could do.

On the afternoon of the third day after leaving Gaoyuan County, the Lujia Village team was on their way when they heard a large number of horse hooves sounds coming from behind, accompanied by cries for mercy and the shrill cries of children.
