Traveling through ancient times to survive

Zhao Chengchuan didn't know that Zhao Qing had easily solved the problem of finding trouble in the old house by only teaching Zhao Decheng a lesson. He and his family would officially settle down in the mountain tonight.

The temperature was rising, and everyone's bodies could tolerate sleeping in the shed at night. It would be even more comfortable if we lit a charcoal brazier.

It’s not lonely on the mountain either. Old neighbor Li Wu has moved all his belongings and is digging a cave to store grain tonight.

Zhao Chengchuan took Zhao Deyan and Li Wu to dig a cave next to where the Li family stored grain. Zhao Qing was firmly retained by Li Wu.

No matter how capable she is, she is still a little girl. How can she always follow men to do physical work? You can't treat Qing Ya like a man just because she is strong.

Zhao Chengchuan felt ashamed when he heard this. Ever since his daughter became the breadwinner of the family, she had to do all the heavy physical work at home. He seemed to have forgotten that his daughter was also a little girl who needed love and care.

This was his negligence. He couldn't ignore his daughter just because she was sensible and had no complaints. He must change this in the future and not let her follow his old path, Zhao Chengchuan secretly warned himself.

Zhao Qing stood outside and looked up. The night sky was dotted with stars. The distant starlight from who knows how many years ago was captured by the naked eye. The starlight was twinkling, mysterious and distant. It was a grand scene that Zhao Qing had never seen in his previous life.

Li Heng came over and looked up at the starry sky like Zhao Qing. In the vast sky, the crescent moon and countless stars were gazing at the earth. No matter how the world has changed, they remained silent.

Compared with the eternal and unchanging starry sky, human life is short and insignificant, and love, hate, and vengeance all seem somewhat ridiculous.

"The moonlight tonight is so beautiful!"

Li Heng's voice of praise echoed in his ears. Zhao Qing did not look at the person who came, but still looked up at the sky.

"Yes!"

The two people who had no idea that future generations had given this confession a meaning expressed their feelings in a serious manner. If Zhao Lan was standing beside them, her eyes would definitely be shining and her face would look as if she had been shocked.

The two of them quietly admired the starry sky for a while, and Li Heng asked again: "Sister Zhao Qing, what are your plans for the future?"

"Whatever plans we have, let's survive first."

Li Heng was surprised. In his eyes, Zhao Qing's fighting power was extraordinary. How could he be so pessimistic about the future?

"how do I say this?"

Zhao Qing had long had a premonition that her time travel would not be easy. After meeting Zhao Lan, her premonition became even stronger. She would encounter more and more dangers in the future. The cold wave was just the beginning, and it would not be easy for her to survive with her abilities.

But why did they send her and Zhao Lan in, and gave them both a big cheat? Besides them, according to Zhao Lan, there were other people who had a chance encounter.

She is still not quite clear about the inside story, but Zhao Qing knows a simple truth: there is a price to pay for any benefit, and the person behind the scenes must be asking for something big.

But these were not reasons that could be told to others. Zhao Qing could only speculate that there might be natural disasters and man-made calamities in the future.

"The snowstorm has been going on for more than half a year, and there is a high possibility of floods. We can't grow crops this year. No one has enough food to eat. How can the world be peaceful?"

Li Heng didn't quite believe it. With Zhao Qing's martial arts, it would not be difficult for him to save his life in troubled times as long as he didn't actively seek death. There must be some reason he didn't know. But everyone has secrets that they don't want to tell. Didn't he also hide his life experience from Zhao Qing's sister?

"If the world goes into chaos, what are you going to do?"

Li Heng had no doubt that Zhao Qing's parents had no say over her in major matters, and Zhao Qing didn't think there was anything wrong with Li Heng asking her directly what her plans were.

"I plan to find a place deep in the mountains and forests to hide with my family for a while, at least we can avoid some man-made disasters."

Li Heng didn't expect that Zhao Qing had the idea of ​​​​retreating from the world.

"There are many inconveniences in the mountains. Have you ever thought about moving to a safer big city? I do know a few places that are well governed."

Zhao Qing sneered in her heart. In this world where ordinary people are not treated as human beings, is there still a good place? It's just that some superiors are a little more merciful. Ordinary civilians are essentially cattle and horses. She doesn't want to tie her life to the mercy of the superiors.

"My family doesn't have that much money to move to a big city."

Zhao Qing was his first true friend, and the two of them might have to separate soon, and Li Heng felt a little reluctant.

"I can help you."

"No need, Brother Heng. My family is just ordinary farmers. We don't have any skills. We may not be able to find a way to make money in a big city. I can't ask you to help me for the rest of my life."

Li Heng was silent, with a lost expression. Seeing that the handsome boy was reluctant to leave her, Zhao Qing was in a good mood. Isn't it worth being happy to be remembered by a beautiful woman? She took the initiative to comfort him, "Brother Heng, I won't hide forever. I will come out when things are stable outside. When the time comes, I will come to Brother Heng's house. Brother Heng, please don't despise me."

Li Heng's emotions quickly stabilized. He looked steadily at the little girl in front of him, a light flashed in his eyes, and his tone was gentle but firm.

"Then it's a deal. Sister Zhao Qing must come to see me."

Zhao Qing smiled slightly: "It's a deal."

Wang Mei's voice came from the shed behind her.

"Okay, it's getting late! You two should hurry back and wash up and go to bed. We can talk tomorrow if we have anything to say!"

The two looked at each other and went back to their shed to rest.

As the sky was about to brighten, Zhao Qing opened his eyes and got up to exercise before the villagers went up the mountain. The sun rose from the east, and both families exercised for quite a while.

Wang Mei went back first to wash up and prepare to cook. Seeing this, Li Wu also wanted to go back.

"Brother Li, how about our two families eat together in the mountains?"

Li Wu hesitated, his cooking skills were really not good enough, and the last time he had delicious food was during the New Year a few months ago. His mouth was almost dry in the past few months, but the urge to eat finally overcame his reserve, and Li Wu looked embarrassed.

"Then I'm sorry to trouble Brother Chengchuan and his wife. I'll go back and get the food for my father and me."

Zhao Chengchuan did not refuse this. It was not a matter of one or two meals. He could not afford to treat him every day, and Brother Li would not agree to it.

Li Wu held a bag of grain in each hand and put the two bags of grain next to each other. He was not done yet and turned around to continue moving the grain.

Wang Mei quickly stopped him: "Brother Li, that's enough, eat these two bags of food first before moving."

"Not much, not at all. My father and I have big appetites, and we can't let you cook for us for nothing, sister-in-law."

Wang Mei shook her head in disapproval: "Brother Li, with the relationship between our two families, how can I ask you for compensation?"

"Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly. If you don't accept it, I will feel embarrassed to come over for dinner."

Li Wu brought over two more bags of grain, all of which were large white rice. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. The private property accumulated by generations of marquises was more than enough for the young master to continue living a life of luxury.
