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

Of course, these men could no longer hear it at this point.

But Bai Song, who only wanted to vent his anger, didn't care about any of that.

After firing for a while, he finally ordered his soldiers to continue dealing with the corpses on this side.

He then went to the village with Qian Chengzhi and Lu Qingqing.

As the group passed by, they encountered several guards who came out.

Upon seeing them approach, a guard quickly stepped forward and explained the situation.

By now, they had searched the entire village.

In addition to the man who was previously discovered and killed, three more people were found and dealt with as well.

In addition, they discovered two more courtyards where women were being held captive.

Many of these people have been driven mad with fear.

Upon seeing the man, she was so frightened that she hid in a corner and screamed repeatedly.

Once things calmed down, he would grab whatever he saw and stuff it into his mouth.

When they opened the cell where they were being held, they even found human necks, fingers, toes, and other parts on the ground that had not yet been completely eaten.

In addition, only a small half-bag of grain was found in the village.

It is quite obvious what these imprisoned "vegetable people" eat on a daily basis.

The young guard spoke with a face full of panic, his body trembling uncontrollably.

His human instincts made him feel disgusted and terrified of such things.

Qian Chengzhi stepped forward, patted the man on the shoulder, and gently comforted him.

"Alright, it's all over now."

Now, the fields are full of wild vegetables.

When I came down, I saw that there was a large, flat area of ​​land in front of the village.

With land, they can survive!

Things will get better from now on!

The young guard nodded absentmindedly upon hearing this.

The group continued walking in, and when they reached the last courtyard, they found a group of women, some standing and some squatting.

Without exception, these people were all dressed in rags and reeked of a mixture of stench and the smell of corpses.

Bai Song stepped into the courtyard and his expression changed drastically upon smelling the odor.

After gagging several times, he withdrew from the room.

"Sister Lu, Brother Qian, I'll be waiting for you outside. Call me if you need anything!"

Lu Qingqing knew he couldn't stand the smell, so she quickly told him to move away.

Turning my head to look at the courtyard, I saw that the spacious courtyard was full of people.

At a glance, there were at least several dozen people.

At this moment, Pan Di saw her arrive and hurriedly ran out from the crowd.

"My benefactor, you're back!"

By now, Pan Di had combed her messy hair neatly and washed her hands and face.

With such a simple makeover, she looks like a completely different person.

Even though prolonged hunger had caused her to have a sallow complexion and be extremely thin.

But the sparkle in her eyes and the positive and upbeat attitude she exuded added so much to her appeal.

Pan Di rushed out and discovered that there were actually some men standing behind his benefactor.

She instinctively took a step back, but then remembered that they had saved her, and stopped abruptly.

Lu Qingqing introduced Qian Chengzhi and the others to her, and the two sides nodded to each other as a greeting.

Seeing that she was busy, Pan Di quietly retreated back into the crowd.

At this moment, Qian Chengzhi felt a pang of pity upon seeing the pitiful women in the courtyard.

But with so many people here, there's really only so much he can do.

Thinking of this, he called Lu Qingqing outside and discussed it with Bai Song, who was squatting not far away.

Qian Chengzhi's intention was to leave some food for these women so they could have a temporary respite.

Once the radishes and other vegetables planted in the field have grown, life will be able to continue.

Bai Song, however, didn't really care about these women.

It was even more impossible for him to leave food for these women.

He felt that by leading his brothers to kill the men who imprisoned them, he had already done these women a great favor.

He didn't care what would happen to them afterward.

He had no relation to these people, and the fact that he didn't rob them was already an act of kindness.

Qian Chengzhi was quite surprised when Bai Song said these words.

He had inquired about them indirectly during the two days they had known each other.

When I learned that Bai Song had paid the villagers of Fushan Town for their entry fees to the city, I thought he was a soft-hearted person.

I never expected that these strangers would be so cold and unfriendly.

However, Qian Chengzhi's ability to become a team leader shows he's not some pushover.

Although his decision differed from Bai Song's, he could understand Bai Song's approach.

After they finished speaking, they both looked at Lu Qingqing.

"Miss Lu (Younger Sister Lu), what do you think of this matter?"

Looking at the women in the courtyard, Lu Qingqing couldn't help but sigh.

Among these women, few were of sound mind.

These people struggle to make a living even in normal times, let alone in the current situation.

At that moment, she noticed Pan Di taking care of other women in the courtyard, and an idea came to her mind.

Seeing the pity in her eyes as she looked at the women, Bai Song feared she might soften her heart and quickly said:

"Sister Lu, we don't know what we'll encounter on our journey."

These women are so crazy, we can't bring them along.

Lu Qingqing shook her head.

"We need to hurry on our journey, so naturally we can't take them with us."

But leaving them here like this is probably a dead end.

Bai Song breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that she didn't intend to take them with her.

As long as you don't bring them along, the rest are minor issues.

As they were talking, Qin Lang, Old Man Zhuang, and the others finished dealing with the corpses on the road and arrived.

After learning about the situation of the women inside, many people cursed the sins in their hearts.

Old Zhuang originally specialized in neurology.

I've seen many people who have developed problems due to severe trauma.

He went for a walk around the courtyard and found that the women couldn't help but scream and tremble when a man approached.

In fact, many of them seemed to have completely lost their minds.

After looking around, only a few people remained clear-headed.

To be honest, although he has always been studying neurology.

But there's nothing that can be done for those who have completely lost their minds.

Even for those with milder symptoms, it's not guaranteed that they can be cured.

In many cases, this disease relies more on its own healing process.

All he could do was prescribe some calming remedies to ease their emotions.

Given the current situation, it's even less likely that he can stay here long-term to treat them.

Old Zhuang sighed, thought for a moment, and turned to walk towards his carriage.

After Lu Qingqing came over, she called Pan Di to her side.

"Brother Pan, now that those beasts who imprisoned you have all been killed, what are your plans?"

Pan Di was taken aback for a moment, not expecting her to ask him alone.

She lowered her head and thought for a while before raising it, her expression serious.

“I grew up in this village. Apart from my younger sister who is mentally challenged, all my other relatives died here.”

I think I will continue to live in this village with my little sister in the future.

Moreover, now that the wealthy Chen family in the village is dead, all the land in the village is empty.

If it weren't for the heavy land rent, farming a few acres would be enough to support us.

Seeing the longing for the future in her eyes, Lu Qingqing felt much better.

"The world is not peaceful these days."

In particular, your village is quite close to the official road.

If you wish to continue living here, the village's defenses must be further strengthened.

It would be best to leave a small escape route.

I see that there are mountains not far behind your village, so you could build a secluded temporary dwelling there.

If you really encounter trouble, you can go and hide there temporarily.

When Pan Di heard what she said, his eyes lit up.

She nodded vigorously in agreement and carefully wrote down what he said.

"Thank you for reminding me, I've noted it down."

Lu Qingqing nodded.

"When our people were searching the village just now, they only found a small half bag of grain."

If you want to farm, half a bag of grain probably won't be enough.

I will leave you two more bags of seeds.

Once we've finished packing up, our group will leave.

What happens to you from now on is entirely up to you!

When Pan Di heard that she wanted to save some grain seeds for them, he thanked her repeatedly.

As she spoke, she beckoned to the dozen or so women behind her who were still conscious.

"Fudi, Xiaomei, Xiaohua, Pangya... Erniu, come here quickly."

Our benefactor left us seeds; let's thank him together!
