MTL - Mei Gongqing-Chapter 10 Drought (2)
The servants worked together and only made three large barrels and several small pots. These three vats, one for Chen Rong bathing, the other two are used by men and women to bathe.
After walking for more than a dozen miles, there was a pool of water in front. Chen's servants filled three large wooden barrels, and put a few small wooden tubs for washing, and then wet those thick satin.
Wang Zhuo frowned and looked at the Chen family who was busy with the pool behind him. After thinking about it, he said to the left and right: "You also go to play a few buckets of water."
All the people were shocked. One of the Wang’s children cried: "Uncle, why should you believe in a woman’s nonsense?"
Wang Zhuo suddenly said: "The carriage is empty and empty. Why do you say so much? It is installed!"
These twenty days, whether it is Wang's or Chen's, they have eaten a lot of food, so they have vacated some carriages, just used to hold the water.
When Wang Zhuo drank this, everyone did not dare to say anything. He had to install water behind Chen’s. However, they only wanted to perfuse things, and they only installed 20 baths of water.
The team continued to move forward. In the next ten miles, there have been three big water tanks. Looking at the clear waves, Wang’s people shook their heads frequently. Wang Zhuo was frowning and thought with annoyance: Just an ignorant girl pretending to be a learned student, I just listened, and it was the same thing. Oh, it will become a laughing stock for others!
In the evening, the team was placed next to the water source. In the gaze of the children of Wang’s children, Chen Rong silently told the people to refill the buckets that had been sprinkled out of the small half because of the horse-drawn carriage, and then under the care of Pingyi and others, choose a clean water source. I took a shower.
She did not tighten herself, but also forced the servants to clean it thoroughly.
Fortunately, it is Chen’s loyal servant who is now with her. Although they feel that their own girl is acting in amazement, she quietly executed her order.
Early the next morning, Chen Rong ordered everyone to wet the thick satin in the water before they began to wash.
On this day, when the sun rises from the east, it is dazzling.
Looking into the sky, he said to the carriage: "The girl is a big eye."
In the carriage, Chen Rong came down with a low response.
From yesterday afternoon, Chen Rong, who did not want to see the eyes of Wang’s family, returned to the middle of the team.
The team continued to drive forward.
At this time, Wang’s children no longer have fun. Under their urging, the team went fast, but in one morning, they rushed out for thirty or forty.
With the arrival of noon, the weather is getting hotter and hotter.
The white sun shone on the ground, and the ground was hot and hot. As soon as the carriage moved, the dust was scattered and it was scattered for a long time. Looking at this situation, it seems that this place has not been raining for some time.
At this time, the front suddenly slowed down.
Pingyi sticks his head out, but sees the smoke coming from the sky, but several strong men and horses dressed in the servant clothes of Wang's servants return.
Strange, this road is very peaceful, how did Wang send a way out?
Those strong men rushed to the front of Wang’s parents, and I didn’t know what they said. For a moment, the screams of Wang’s children were filled with complaints.
Ping Yu curiously asked: "What happened?"
Shang Hao whispered on the side: "Those people say that there is no water source in the 30 miles ahead. The wells that have been seen along the way have dried up. The villagers said that there has been no rain in January. They are usually draught. Water in the mountains of the Sakiyama Mountains on the east side. The Nagasaki Mountains are just 20 miles away from the area, and it will take a day to come."
Shang Yu said that the look of Chen Rong in the carriage is complicated and his eyes are not horrified. Hiratsuka, too, she looked at the swaying car curtain in a silly manner, and said with a grace, "Is it already known?"
At this time, the team has stopped.
Hiratsuka noticed that the servants of the Wang family took several buckets from the carriage and began feeding the horse.
As the clear water appeared in front of everyone, suddenly, a girl screamed: "Uncle, why should you feed the animals? The heat is so hot, I want to take a shower."
Another Wang’s boy also called: "Father, let us take a shower first, and the rest of the water will be given to these animals."
The team was quiet, and after a while, Wang Zhuo’s command came, "It’s a slap in the air. No water can be wasted before the well water is found."
"Uncle, we are just washing, as long as we don't splash the water."
"Yeah, it’s a waste of such clean water for the animals."
After Wang Zhuo was silent for a while, the command came again. "The water used to feed the horse is limited to eight barrels. You so many people, who is the bath for the eight buckets of water? Don't make trouble again, no one can use the bucket. Water bathing!"
He said here, and gently comforted: "After the horse drank the water, we stepped up the road, and we must find enough water as soon as possible. When you are bathing or playing, you have water."
This time, the Wang family is finally no longer embarrassed, but it is faint, and there are still rumors and complaints.
Hiratsuka just regained his attention, and Chen Rong’s voice came from the carriage. "Hey, let our horses chew the water in the satin."
"Yes."
After the horses have been fed, they will start again. This time, everyone stopped squatting and began to make every effort.
Whether it is Wang or Chen, they are fully prepared for this move. It can be said that this team is composed entirely of carriages. In addition to four horses, each carriage has two horses backed up.
In this case, the road of thirty miles, the hour is over.
However, the sky is still hot in the sun, on both sides of the road, all the fields are still dry and cracked. Along the way, even the sky was gray, and the wells encountered not only did not drip, but the thick dead leaves showed that the place had been dry for a long time.
Under this circumstance, the Wang's children faintly felt that they were not good. In the team, their complaints turned into uneasy voices and curses.
The team continued to move forward.
Another time has passed.
The sun began to sink to the west, and the wind that was blowing was no longer so hot.
Everyone in the team is in a deep unease. The more they walked south, they found that the fields on both sides of the road were more and more gully and dry.
At this moment, everyone in the team felt that their throat seemed to be burned and thirsty. The running horses are also weak and weak.
However, the front is still gray, obviously only in the early autumn, can be presented in front of everyone, just a ridiculous eclipse!
The whole team, at this time, showed a kind of confusion and uneasiness. Only Chen’s family who had chewed the three-satin water was still energetic.
In the eyes of the sons and sons, the uneasy eyes, Wang Zhuo ordered: "Wang You, you feed the horses and drink, go to the road, see the water source and report again!"
"Yes."
After a pause, Wang Zhuo’s tired voice sounded, "Go and call Chen Arong."
"Yes."
The response sound just fell, and one of Wang’s children hurriedly said, “Father, no, no, no.” He lowered his voice and said uneasy in the eyes of Wang Zhuo’s question: “Father, you are the parent of Wang’s, but In a short period of time, I asked the clan of a branch of Chen for two consecutive questions. Is this not to use your old name to achieve Chen Arong?"
