Chapter 10

All the servants worked together to make three big barrels and several small basins. One of the three buckets is for Chen Rong's bath, and the other two are for men and women's handmaids.

After walking for more than ten miles, there is a pool of water in front of us. Chen's servants filled three big wooden buckets, filled several small basins for washing with water, and then wet those thick satins.

Wang Zhuo frowned and looked at the Chen family who were busy coming and going by the water pool behind him. After thinking about it, he drank to the left and right: "you go to fetch some buckets of water, too."

When they were surprised, one of Wang's children called out, "uncle, why do you believe a woman's nonsense?"

Wang Zhuo suddenly shouted: "the carriage is empty, and why do you say so much? Put it on! "

In the past 20 days, whether Wang or Chen, they have eaten a lot of food, so they have vacated some carriages just to hold the water.

When Wang Zhuo drank like this, they dared not say anything more, so they had to follow Chen's back to pack water. But they only want to perfunctory, a total of 20 bathtubs of water.

The team continued to move forward. In the next ten miles, there were three big water tanks. Looking at the clear water waves, Wang family shook their heads frequently. Wang Zhuo frowned even more and thought ruefully: it's just an ignorant girl pretending to be erudite, but I still listened to it and took it seriously. Ah, it will be another joke!

That night, the motorcade was placed beside the water source. In the eyes of all Wang's sons, Chen Rong quietly told them to refill half of the buckets and basins that had been spilled because of the overturning of the carriage. Then, under the care of Ping Nu and others, he chose a clean water source to take a bath.

She washed herself, but it didn't matter. She also forced all the maidservants to wash them thoroughly.

Fortunately, Chen's loyal servants are all around her now. Although they think their girl is making a fuss, they still carry out her orders quietly.

Early the next morning, Chen Rong ordered people to wet the thick satin again in the water before starting to wash.

On this day, when the sun rises from the East, it is red and dazzling.

The flat woman looked at the sky and said to the carriage, "girl, it's a big eye."

In the carriage, Chen Rong answered in a low voice.

From yesterday afternoon, I didn't want to see the look of Wang's family, so I went back to the middle of the team.

The motorcade went on.

At this time, Wang's children no longer have the mood to play. At their urging, the motorcade went very fast, but in the morning, they rushed out thirty or forty miles.

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

The white sun was shining on the ground, which made the ground hot. As soon as the carriage moved around, the dust was flying to the sky, but it didn't go away for a long time. It seems that the place hasn't rained for a long time.

At this time, the front suddenly slowed down.

Pingru stretched out her head, but saw the smoke in front of her, but some strong men dressed in Wang's servants' clothes came back with their horses.

Strange! It's peaceful. How did Wang send a pathfinder?

Those strong men rushed to Wang's parents and didn't know what they had said. For a while, Wang's children's murmurs were endless.

"What's the matter?" asked Ping Nu curiously

"Those people said that there was no water in the thirty Li ahead, and the wells they saw along the way had dried up. Those villagers said that it hadn't rained for a month here, and they usually draught in the east side of the Qishan mountains. The Nagasaki mountain range is twenty miles away from here. It takes a day to come and go. "

When he said that, he looked at the appearance of the carriage in a complicated way, and his eyes were not startled. Ping if is also, she looked at the shaking curtain stupidly, said naively: "girl, seems to have known?"

By this time, the team had stopped.

Pingru noticed that the servants of the Wang family took several barrels from the carriage and began to feed the horse.

As the clear water appeared in front of everyone's eyes, suddenly, a young girl shrieked, "uncle, why do you feed these animals with water? It's so hot. I want to take a bath. "

Another young Wang also called, "father, let's take a bath first, and then give the rest of the water to these animals to drink."

There was silence in the motorcade. After a while, Wang Zhuo's order came out, "don't make a fool of yourself. No bucket of water should be wasted until the well water is found. "

"Uncle, we just wash, as long as we don't spill the water."

"Yes, yes. It's a waste of such clean water for animals to drink."

Wang Zhuo was silent for a while, and the command came again, "the water for horse feeding is only eight barrels. For so many of you, who can bathe in these eight barrels of water? Don't make any more noise. No one can bathe in the water in the bucket! "

When he said this, he said gently, "after the horse drinks water, we must hurry up and find enough water as soon as possible. When you are bathing or playing, there will be plenty of water."This time, Wang's children are finally no longer noisy, but there are still murmurs and complaints.

Ping Nu just regained her attention, and the voice of Chen Rong came from the carriage, "if you, let our horse chew the water in the satin."

"Yes."

After the horses were fed, they set off again. This time, everyone stopped shouting and started to go all out.

Both Wang and Chen are well prepared for the south migration. It can be said that the motorcade is all made up of carriages. Each carriage, in addition to four horses pulling, also has two horses backup.

In this case, the thirty mile road will be finished in an hour.

However, the sky is still scorching, both sides of the road, all the fields are still dry and cracked. Along the way, even the sky is gray. The water wells we met are not only dripping, but the thick dead leaves show that the place has been dry for a long time.

This time, Wang's children felt something bad. In the team, their complaints became uneasy inquiries and curses.

The team went on.

Another hour passed.

The sun began to sink to the west, and the wind was not so hot.

But everyone in the team was in a deep unease. The farther south they went, they were shocked to find that the fields on both sides of the road were more ravines and dried up.

At this moment, everyone in the team felt that their throat seemed to be burned and thirsty. And the running horse, at this time, is also weak.

However, the front is still gray. It's just early autumn. What can be presented in front of the public is just a desolate and dry color!

The whole team, at this time, presented a kind of panic and uneasiness. Chen's horses, who had only chewed the water in satin three times, were still full of energy.

In the anxious eyes of all the children, Wang Zhuo ordered: "Wang right, feed your horse and drink enough, go to explore the road, and report when you see the water source!"

"Yes."

After a pause, Wang Zhuo's tired voice rang out, "go and call Chen's a Rong."

"Yes."

Just after the response, a Wang's son said in a hurry, "father, no, no way." He lowered his voice and said uneasily in Wang Zhuo's questioning eyes, "father, as a parent of Wang's family, you asked Chen's common daughter twice in a row in a short distance. Isn't this the use of your old name to achieve the Chen's A-Rong
