Chapter 11

Wang Zhuo thought for a while with a heavy face and waved to all of them to leave.

The team stopped, fed the horses a little more water, and then set off again.

In order to save water, the Wangs didn't cook. They only served some dry food for dinner. Along with this dry food, there is also some water. Because of the large number of people, every team of ten people only received one basin of water. Facing the setting sun in the west, Wang Zhuo stood at the front of the car and said solemnly, "everyone, the rest of the water has been sent to you. Before you can find the water source, you still save it." there was a buzz in the team.

In this kind of noise, the voice of Wang's seven daughters is the loudest. She shrieked, "father, how can we share as much water as everyone else? Is there no difference between the high and the low? "

When you say a word, you are still.

Whoosh, all the guards and maids, at the same time lowered their heads. It seems that everyone held his breath, and the air was filled with a kind of sinking and tension.

Wang Zhuo glanced at a group of tall and brave guards, turned to Wang's seven daughters and shouted, "shut up! Now that we have been on the same road, we will have to share the joys and sorrows. This kind of words can't be said again in the future! "

As soon as the voice fell, Wang Zhuo realized his wish and gave his eyes to all the people.

Where are Wang's seven daughters abused by their father? Now the face is long and the eyes are rolling with tears. On her side, there were murmuring brothers and sisters.

At this time, the eastern sky, rising a light moon. The moonlight is hanging in the gray sky. If you don't look carefully, you can't find it at all.

The team went on the road. As the last ray of light faded away, all the guards lit torches. In the autumn wind, those torches made hunting sound, which added some vitality to the team that operated at night.

Out of unease, the team went very fast.

Chen Rong was sitting in the carriage. Her team was not many. At the beginning, everyone got her order. Besides drinking water to moisten their throat, they never wasted it. So one day, the bucket was still full.

Therefore, compared with the anxiety outside, Chen's people seem to be calm and calm.

Time passed by little by little. Unconsciously, the motorcade had been walking for most of the night, until the middle of the month, people still desperately found that they had not seen half a drop of water all the way!

Wang's Pathfinder has not come back, but Wang Zhuo has to send someone to ask the nearby common people where the water source is. Only when asked did we know that the nearest water source is also 40 Li mountain road, which is rugged and difficult to walk. Even if the local people are used to mountain road, it will take two days and one night to bring back the water. Because of this, the villagers became refugees and moved to the South after they failed to get rain.

In the evening, the motorcade never stopped. When it came to dawn, the thirsty and exhausted horse filled the water with the little dew on the withered grass beside the road. Of course, all the royal family can't drink the dew on the withered grass like animals.

Until the sun rises again, the Wangs who feel that things are not good drink the parking team, rest rest, think of the way. At this time, the scouts they sent have not come back.

At noon, the last water of the Wang family was used up, and all the people began to face endless thirst.

Finally, Wang's children's eyes turned to Chen's team, which is full of spirit because there has always been water supply.

The "of" has the horse's hoof sound to ring in Chen Rong's ear.

Ping Nu approached her head and whispered to the carriage, "girl, the Wangs are here."

"Yes." The sound from the carriage was still calm and calm.

In such a moment, her tone of voice made Ping Ruo feel at peace.

After a while, Wang Wulang's voice came from the outside of the carriage, "a Rong, don't be surprised if you venture to come here." In his voice, I'm sorry.

The curtain lifted.

When Wang's children were looking at Chen Rong, their eyes lit up, showing a mixture of jealousy and envy. At this time, Chen's face was still clean and his hair was dark, but he was not tired of wind and dust. Compared with her, where do they look like the noble children who used to be elegant?

Chen Rong smiled at all the Wang family. Without waiting for them to speak, she said in a manly voice, "if you don't like it, move this bucket of water. This bucket is used by my old bath. It's clean. The remaining two barrels belong to the servants of the government, which may contaminate your noble bodies. "

Her voice is very sincere. She knew that the scope of the drought was not large. In a few days, they could get out of this predicament. What she needs now is the kindness of the Wang family and the good reputation that can be publicized by the scholars.

Wang's people never thought that she would be so happy. When she came, Wang's seven daughters still thought about a dozen words in their hearts to criticize her, spit at her and force her, but these words are not worth using!

Then, Wang Wulang coughed, arched her hand and turned away.

After a while, three servants of the king's family came. They lifted up their old bathtub and went to the front.When the water was carried to Wang Zhuo, Wang's seven women said with a flat mouth, "father, there is only half a bucket left!"! Hum, it must be Chen Rong who keeps washing and rinsing, which wastes so much! "

As soon as her voice fell to the ground, Wang Zhuo gave her a hard look, and he whispered, "what's this? People are willing to give you water, you not only do not appreciate, but also resentment not satisfied? When will a daughter like you be born in my royal family? "

It's a very heavy word.

In fact, he had to drink and scold. The voice of Wang's seven daughters is not small. There are many people around.

Wang's seven daughters never thought of it and were scolded like this by their father. And this time, the disgust in her father's tone was something she had never heard before. At the moment, tears welled up in her eyes, and she took a heavy sniff. Wang's seven daughters pulled down the curtain of the carriage and shrank into the carriage. Soon, there was a weeping sound in the carriage.

A middle-aged man advised: "if you are young, what she said should not be true."

Wang Zhuo said heavily, "she is as big as Chen's Arong, but she is young, so is Arong in and out?"

He drank here, sighed a long time, closed his eyes, and said, "please come here, ah."

When the Wangs came to invite Chen Rong, Chen Rong did not delay, so he immediately followed them.

Far away, she was still in the carriage, and she called to Wang Zhuo with great respect, "Chen Rong has seen the prince."

Her expression, her tone, was very respectful, which was even better than the previous two days.

Wang Zhuo's frown unfolded unconsciously. He waved kindly at her and called out, "a Rong is coming."

"Yes."

"Ah Rong, my uncle asked you, how did you expect this drought? Why do you wet the satin so decisively? Do you have any gods to remind you of such changes in this trip? "

When mentioning the word "God", Wang Zhuo accentuated his tone and added a bit of hope to Chen Rong's eyes unconsciously.

Chen Rong understood his hope, and now she was full of happiness, with her head bowed down, and said with great reverence, "what my uncle expected is not bad."

As soon as the six words came out, Wang Zhuo's eyes were bright and his whispers were quiet.

Chen Rong said respectfully: "when Chen Rong just entered this state, he dreamed that an old man with white hair was resting in front of the cracked field. The next day I heard all the brothers of the king's family say that when there was too little water in the field, I suddenly thought of this dream, so I reported it to the king. "

Wang Zhuo nodded and sighed: "it's really heaven warning. I'm the only one who doesn't believe in ghosts. " In this era, Confucianism is being broken by the world, Taoism and Buddhism are rampant, and the Mohist Thought of not believing in ghosts and gods remains in the folk. Wang Zhuo disguises his mistake by saying "don't believe in ghosts and gods". It's the mistake that he doesn't accept good words that he obliterates lightly.

At this moment, not only Wang Zhuo, but also all Wang's children, all of whom have a good feeling when they look at Chen Rong. She not only admitted the warning of ghosts and gods, but also mentioned that all the teenagers of the Wang family had discovered the drought for a long time. In this way, the world will only say that they are too reckless.

Wang Zhuo reached out and stroked his beard. When he got the answer he wanted, he waved to Chen Rong to withdraw.

Chen Rong's carriage just drove out a few steps. He suddenly thought of something and asked, "ah Rong, I don't know what the old man in your dream pointed out. How many days will the drought be solved here?" After he asked such a big question about the country and the people, he said what he really wanted to ask, "how many days will we have to walk before we can get rid of it?"

Chen Rong beckoned for the carriage to return. She gave a salute, shook her head, and respectfully replied, "Chen Rong doesn't know." In Wang Zhuo's disappointed expression, she said uncertainly, "maybe it won't take long?"

"I hope so. Step back."

"Yes."

Wang Zhuo looked at Chen Rong's gradually retreating carriage, reached out his hand and stroked his long beard. Suddenly he said, "Chen Rong is very good. He is worthy of my Wang's son Lang!"
