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

"Are you a woman?"

Seeing Lu Qingqing nod, she got up from the ground with a look of surprise and ran to Lu Qingqing's side with unsteady steps.

"I was the one who ran out and screamed for help earlier!"

Did you come to rescue me because you heard me screaming for help?

Lu Qingqing nodded.

"Yes, I vaguely heard someone shouting for help, saying they were eating human flesh, so I came to check!"

Upon hearing this, the woman burst into tears.

"I knew it, I knew it. Only by taking a gamble could we have a chance to survive."

Thank you, thank you for being willing to save me.

Lu Qingqing looked at the rope tied to the woman's feet, pulled out her knife, and cut the rope.

Only then did they realize that the rope on the woman's legs had cut into her flesh.

The flesh where the rope was tied was ulcerated, a horrifying sight.

The woman noticed the reluctance in Lu Qingqing's eyes and instead smiled to comfort her.

"It's okay, I'm used to it."

Every step I take with this rope hurts.

It was at this moment that I realized more clearly that I was still a human being.

No matter how painful it is, I will live on.

Lu Qingqing tried to help her remove the rope, but part of the rope had already grown into her skin.

With every movement, her skin and flesh were pulled up, and the woman trembled with pain.

Trying to remove the rope is no different from cutting flesh alive.

“My benefactor, let’s not worry about the rope for now.”

"It's alright, this won't hinder your walking."

Seeing her like this, Lu Qingqing felt extremely conflicted.

"How did you manage to escape from here and call for help?"

What if you run away and shout, but we don't hear you?

The woman used her hands, covered in chilblains, to support herself as she slowly got up.

"I don't even know if I can survive if I escape!"

But if I stay here any longer, I'm sure I'll get eaten!

You don't know, most of the vegetables here have already been eaten.

Those beasts are worried that the longer it drags on, the thinner we'll become.

They've been making arrangements lately to turn the leftover meat into jerky.

I overheard them talking while I was working.

A flock of fat sheep came from outside; they wanted to catch and eat them.

I saw that almost all of them came, so I guessed there were quite a few people.

This might be my only chance to escape.

After those beasts left, I took the opportunity to knock out the beast guarding me and secretly escaped.

However, they discovered him before he had run very far.

I knew that if I was caught, I would definitely not survive, which is why I desperately cried for help.

I was just brought back, and I thought I was going to die.

I never expected you would break in and save me.

"Thank you, my benefactor!"

Lu Qingqing had seen far too many women struggling to survive in this chaotic world.

But the woman in front of her was the most decisive and ruthless to herself she had ever met.

People who still try to live in such a seemingly hopeless situation are truly admirable.

Lu Qingqing took out a medicine bottle from her bosom and handed it to the woman.

"Here are some wound medicines. Please treat your wounds first."

There are other people in the team searching the village; we need to go help them first.

"Hide in this yard and wait for us to come back."

Upon hearing this, the woman hurriedly took a few steps forward.

"I'll stay with you. I know where they are and can show you the way!"

Hearing her say that, Lu Qingqing looked at her ankle with some concern.

She wanted to help clean it up first, but the rope had already grown into her flesh.

It must be thoroughly cleaned before it can be cleaned with space water.

This process cannot be completed in a short time.

Seeing her like this, the woman smiled and shook her head.

"I'm fine, let's go now!"

My injury is nothing; I just need to deal with those beasts as soon as possible.

Even if it means I'm lame for the rest of my life, I'd be willing!

As he spoke, he limped ahead and led the way.

Lu Qingqing looked at the rope dragging on the ground, said nothing more, and quickly followed.

After the group left, the woman walked along the wall towards the north of the village.

On the way, he cautiously checked his surroundings.

When you reach a safe section of road, explain in a low voice.

“My benefactor, I secretly took a look before.”

There were about a hundred people who went out.

There are probably only a dozen or twenty left in this village.

According to past practice, except for a few scattered throughout the village.

Most of the remaining people should be in the courtyard in the north of the village.

Those who were arrested are being held there.

Today, only younger women remain inside.

As for the reason, Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang both understood without her having to explain.

The three of them hugged the wall and hurried quickly toward the distant place to the north of the village.

As I was walking, I suddenly heard shouts and screams of fighting coming from a street to my left.

"You hide here for a while, we'll be back soon."

Lu Qingqing left those words and ran toward the source of the sound.

Behind him, Qin Lang, wielding a knife, was chasing after him.

The woman looked around nervously, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that no one was around.

But after thinking about it, I followed them anyway.

However, her feet were in so much pain that she couldn't walk fast at all.

When they arrived, they ran right into Lu Qingqing shooting and killing the fleeing man.

The man had already run quite a distance and was about to turn the corner and escape when he was shot through the chest by an arrow!

The woman was deeply shocked by what she saw.

Just now in the yard, that beast held a knife to her neck and held her hostage.

I was too scared to notice anything.

It turns out that my benefactor killed these beasts so cleanly and efficiently!
