Chapter 10: Drought II

The servants worked together, just to get out three big barrels, a few small pots. These three barrels, one for Chen Yong's bath and the other two for the men and women's servants.

After more than a dozen miles of walking, a pool of water appeared ahead. The Chen servants filled three large barrels, filled several washing basins with water, and wet the thick satin.

Wang Zhuo frowned and looked at Chen family hurriedly at the pool behind him. He thought about it and drank to the left and right: “You guys go and hit a few barrels of water too. ”

The crowd was shocked, and one of Wang's sons cried, "Uncle, why should you believe a woman's nonsense? ”

Wang Zhuotong drank: “The carriage is empty. Why do you say so much? Put it on! ”

They've eaten a lot of food these past 20 days, whether it's the Wang family or the Chen family, so some wagons have been emptied and used to fill the water.

Wang Zhuo drank so much that people dared not say anything more, so they had to fill up the water behind the Chen family. But all they wanted to do was spread the word, and they had 20 bathtubs of water in them.

The convoy proceeded, and over the next ten miles, three large dams had appeared, looking at the clear waves of water, and the Wang crowd shook their heads frequently. Wang Zhuo frowned furiously and thought, "It's just an ignorant girl pretending to be a scholar. I'd rather listen to it than take it seriously." Hey, it's gonna be another laughingstock!

That evening, the convoy settled by the water. In the laughing eyes of the sons of the Wangs, Chen Rong silently instructed the people to refill the small half of the bucket basins spilled out because of the subversion of the carriage. Then, under the care of Ping and others, he took a bath in the clean water source.

She washed herself and forced the servants to wash it thoroughly.

Fortunately, all those who are now with her are loyal servants of the Chen family. Although they feel that their girls are acting in a fuss, they quietly and quietly execute her orders.

Early the next morning, Chen Yong ordered people to re-wet the thick satin in the water before starting the washing process.

On this day, when the sun rises from the east, the redness is dazzling.

Looking flat into the sky, he said to the carriage, "Girl, it's a big eye. ”

In the carriage, Chen Yong answered low ground.

Starting yesterday afternoon, he returned to the middle of the convoy without wanting to see the look of the royal family.

The convoy continues forward.

By this time, Wang's son was no longer in the mood to play. At their urging, the convoy went fast, but one morning, it rushed 30 to 40 miles.

But with noon, the weather is getting hotter and hotter.

The white sun shined on the earth, and the ground was burning hot and hot. As soon as the carriage was moving, the dust had been scattered for a long time. Depending on the situation, it seemed that the place had not been raining for some time.

At this point, the front suddenly slowed down.

Flat stretched out his head, but saw the smoke and dust in front of him, but a few strong men in Wang's servant clothes returned.

That's strange. It's a peaceful journey. How did Wang send a scout?

The strong men rushed to Wang's parents and did not know what they had said. For a while, Wang's son's mumbling complained.

Ping asked curiously, "What happened? ”

Shannon whispered: "They said that there was no water for 30 miles ahead, and the wells they saw along the way had dried up. The villagers said that it had not rained for a month. They had eaten plain water, which they had beaten in the mountains of Sasaki on the east side. The Nazaki Mountains are 20 miles from here and take a day to see. ”

Speaking of this, Shannon looked at Chen in the carriage with complexity, and his eyes were not stunned. Flat too, she looked at the swinging curtain, and Nana said, “Girl, do you think you already know? ”

By then, the convoy had stopped.

Ping noted that the royal servants started feeding the horses by dropping a few barrels from the carriage.

As the clear water appeared in front of everyone, suddenly, a young girl screamed, "Uncle, why are you feeding these animals? It's so hot, I want to take a bath. ”

Another Wang teenager also called: "Father, let's take a bath first, then give these animals the rest of the water to drink. ”

Quiet in the motorcade, not long later, Wang Zhuo's orders came in, “Hugh is ridiculous. No barrel of water should be wasted until well water is found. ”

“Uncle, we just need to wash ourselves, as long as we don't splash the water out. ”

“Yeah, yeah, that's a waste of clean water for animals. ”

Wang Zhuo silenced for a while, and the sound of the command came back, “The water for horses is limited to eight barrels, so many of you, who should bathe these eight barrels of water? Stop messing around and nobody can bathe in the water in the bucket! ”

He said here, gently comforting: “After the horse drinks water, we hurry and make sure to find plenty of water as soon as possible. Whether you are showering or playing, you will have water. ”

This time, Wang's son finally stopped hustling, but in secret, there was still mumbling and complaining.

Flat just retracted his attention and Chen Yong's voice came from the carriage, "Blah, let's chew the water in our satin. ”

“Yes.”

After the horses are fed, they start again. This time, everyone stopped the hustle and started hurrying.

Both the Wang and Chen families are well prepared for this move. It can be said that this convoy is made up entirely of carriages. Each carriage has two horses backed up in addition to four maras.

In this case, the 30-mile road will be completed in an hour.

However, the sky is still proud of the fire, and on both sides of the road, all fields remain dry and cracked. Along the way, even the sky was covered in gray, and not only did the wells encountered not drip, but the thick leaves showed that the place had been dry for a long time.

At this point, Wang's son secretly felt bad. In the team, their complaints turned into anxious inquiries and curses.

The convoy continues to move forward.

Another time has passed.

The sun began to sink to the west, and the wind was less hot.

But everyone in the convoy is in deep anxiety. The further south they walk, the more frightened they find the fields on both sides of the road to be trenches and dry.

At this moment, everyone in the convoy felt that their throats seemed to be on fire and thirsty. And running horses, they're also weak.

Preferably, the front is still covered in gray. It is obviously only the early autumn, but it can be presented in front of everyone, it is just a wild dead color!

The whole team showed a sense of panic and anxiety, and only Chen Jiamas, who had chewed the water in satin three times, still shivered in spirit.

In the anxious eyes of his sons, Xi Ying, Wang Zhuo ordered: "Wang right, you feed the horses to drink, go to the road, see the water and come back! ”

“Yes.”

After a pause, Wang Zhuo's tired voice sounded, “Go get Chen's Ayong. ”

“Yes.”

The answer had just fallen, and one of Wang's sons said urgently: "Father, no, never.” He lowered his voice and said disturbingly in Wang Zhuo's questioning eyes: “Father, as a parent of Wang's family, you questioned one of Chen's tribal common daughters twice in a row in a short time. Does this not use your old name to achieve Chen's Ayung? ”
