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

At that moment, Qian Chengzhi and his group were still eating.

Looking at the egg dumplings in the bowl, Bai Song felt his mouth water.

Although we had drinks together last night, we're not really that close yet.

He swallowed hard, then slumped back to his tent.

Seeing the soldiers cooking still baking those dry, hard flatbreads, their mouths watered even more.

Not wanting to compromise, I specifically asked for porridge with cured pork and vegetables.

Upon hearing this, the soldier reluctantly agreed.

It's not that we don't have the materials, but that it takes too much time to make.

The team had long since run out of vegetables; if they wanted more, they would have to send people to dig them up from the fields.

Moreover, cured meat also needs to be cleaned and boiled.

It will take at least 45 minutes to make.

But seeing that Boss Bai was determined to get his food, the soldier had no choice but to agree.

After leaving, make arrangements quickly.

Unsurprisingly, the porridge wasn't even finished until the team was about to depart.

Bai Song ate this pork and vegetable porridge in the carriage.

The carriage swayed and rocked along the way.

The whole bowl of porridge spilled several times as the carriage swayed, soaking him all over.

Looking at the light rain still falling outside, Bai Song felt...

His mood was just like the weather today—very unpleasant!

At this moment, in Lu Qingqing's carriage at the very front of the procession.

Qian Chengzhi was sitting in the carriage, discussing the route map with Lu Qingqing.

The maps they were holding were secret maps made by the Prince Huai's residence.

However, after more than half a year of improvement, the map is now more detailed.

Qian Chengzhi held up the map in his hand and pointed out the route to Lu Qingqing step by step.

The route he pointed to was the one their team had taken before.

Lu Qingqing compared the route she had drawn and found several differences.

Seeing that she was making comparisons, Qian Chengzhi simply explained the differences one by one.

In summary, it's just the few differences that Lu Qingqing drew.

Or there might be bandits.

Or the city is sealed off, preventing people from entering or leaving.

Another reason is that the area had previously experienced a plague outbreak.

For safety reasons, they will not enter such places for the next year or two.

In addition, there are some other miscellaneous reasons.

After hearing this, Lu Qingqing could only silently give him a thumbs up.

Sure enough, it has to be someone with professional skills like that.

It's difficult for anyone other than them to know about this kind of news.

At this moment, Lu Qingqing was also somewhat grateful to have met Qian Chengzhi, feeling that she could really avoid a lot of detours!

The two were chatting enthusiastically when the carriage suddenly stopped.

"Qingqing, there seems to be something blocking the way ahead!"

Lu Qingqing opened the carriage door and peered ahead.

Through the fine drizzle, I could vaguely see something on the road ahead.

At this point, the convoy behind also stopped.

When Qian Chengzhi saw that Lu Qingqing was about to get off the car, he quickly handed her the oil-paper umbrella that was next to him.

"Miss Lu, please put on the umbrella and don't catch a cold."

Upon hearing this, Qin Lang immediately turned around and glanced at him.

What's wrong with this kid? Is this the kind of concern he should be saying?

Unfortunately, at this moment, Qian Chengzhi was only thinking about not freezing the human-shaped gold coin Lu Qingqing.

They subconsciously overlooked Qin Lang, who was only worth five hundred taels.

Lu Qingqing didn't notice this little incident; her attention was entirely focused on the road conditions ahead.

Looking around, I found that there was only wasteland on both sides of the official road.

There were no villages or other ambushes.

Thinking of this, she took a raincoat from the car.

After putting on the harness, he picked up the bow and arrow and walked forward.

Behind him, Qin Lang saw that she had already walked forward.

He didn't even bother to put on a raincoat, and followed after them with his sword.

Qian Chengzhi, who was in the car, did not expect that Lu Qingqing would actually bring weapons and go forward directly, completely in a fighting posture at any time.

Fearing something might happen to her, he quickly jumped out of the car.

He called a few trusted men, who, armed with swords, followed.

At this moment, Lu Qingqing had already approached the place blocking her way.

Upon approaching, I discovered that the road was full of larger stones.

The shape was clearly placed there intentionally.

When Qian Chengzhi came over, he saw Lu Qingqing about to step over the stones, so he quickly called her to stop.

Immediately afterwards, he ordered several men to climb over the rocks and go forward to investigate the situation.

He held Lu Qingqing's sleeve tightly, afraid that she might rush forward again at the slightest provocation.

Just kidding, this isn't just five thousand taels of silver, it's also about a person who has mastered special wound medicine.

If someone gets injured in his care, he'll have no face to go back and see Steward Feng!

Just as they were struggling, Bai Song rushed over.

"Brother Lu... no, Sister Lu, what's wrong?"

When Qian Chengzhi saw him coming over, he briefly explained the situation.

The four stood in front of the rock, listening quietly to the sounds ahead.

But after a while, they still didn't hear any unusual noises.

About fifteen minutes later, the investigators returned quickly.

"Leader, there's a small path leading down to the main road not far to the right."

After turning in, there is a village about three or four hundred meters away.

There are guards at the entrance of that village.

We were worried about being discovered, so we didn't get too close.

The specific details of the village are still unclear.

After speaking, the man stepped aside and waited for Qian Chengzhi to make a decision.

Normally, Qian Chengzhi would have made the decision directly.

But things are different now.

He looked at Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang and the others, and whispered a few words to them.

Soon, all the men in the group came over.

Except for one team that went to guard the path ahead, the rest of them started moving stones.

To save effort, Qian Chengzhi directed his men to clean up the area near the roadside.

Actually, you don't need to clear it all out; just clear an opening big enough for a horse-drawn carriage to pass through.

However, these stones were all too big, making them very difficult to move.

The group then decided to roll the stone along the road, until it reached the ditch beside the main road.

As the large rocks rolled down, they crashed into the ditches on both sides of the road, splashing water everywhere.

At the same time, the sound of stones falling into the water was even more obvious.

Fortunately, the rain is currently pouring down, which has masked much of the noise.

Qian Chengzhi led his men to work on one side of the rock, while Bai Song led his men to the other side.

As for the villagers, they mingled between the two groups.

As the group was busy, they saw the person who had been on duty at the intersection of the alley running back quickly.

"Quickly, get on guard! The villagers are coming out with weapons!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd, who had been carrying stones, threw them down and ran towards the carriage.

It was really inconvenient to have a weapon hanging on my waist while I was working.

Unfortunately, it was raining, and no one wanted to let their weapons get wet, so they put them under the tarpaulin on the cart.

Fortunately, the carriage was not far away.

Before the villagers could even arrive, everyone had already grabbed their weapons and were waiting on the spot!

Before long, a flurry of footsteps could be heard ahead.

"Who moved the stones in our village? Step forward now!"

As the shouts rang out, the figures of that group of people slowly came into view.

About a hundred thin men ran over, carrying hoes, machetes, and other weapons.

When they saw the two hundred or so people in Lu Qingqing's group, they stopped in their tracks.
