Chapter 16: Water from the Stone!
[Today's second update! ] At the critical moment of rushing to the list, crying and hugging his thighs for recommendation votes, collections, and member clicks! 】
Liu Minghua saw that Su Dingfang and Lan'er were so anxious, so he pressed his hands and said, "Okay, I have made up my mind, so you don't need to persuade you." ”
"But ......" Lan'er wanted to continue to persuade, but after seeing Liu Minghua's resolute gaze, she still stopped.
In all dynasties, there were few opportunities for women in the army to intervene. Of course, Lan'er knows how important this military sand table is! Liu Minghua only let her guard alone, this is Liu Minghua's absolute trust in her.
However, it is a matter of life and death for hundreds of people, even if Lan'er is most concerned about Liu Minghua's safety, then she cannot disrupt Liu Minghua's military deployment. Therefore, Lan'er glanced at Liu Minghua with concern, but still avoided it from afar.
"Minghua, now you are the main general in the army, if you don't lead everyone to break through, I'm afraid that everyone will be scattered!" Su Dingfang made up his mind to follow Liu Minghua, the "Son of God from the Sky" in the future. But now Liu Minghua actually wants to be the queen of the palace? How can this work? Su Dingfang felt that Liu Minghua must be very, very important to Datang in the future, so Liu Minghua must not have an accident!
Liu Minghua understood Su Dingfang's worries, he held Su Dingfang's big hand and said, "Big brother, I know what you mean, don't worry, I'll be fine!" Didn't you say that I was the Son of God? Heaven will bless me!
Big brother, don't forget that you are the main general who protects Li Gongzi, so no matter what, you can only be the one who leads the army to break through! Otherwise, you will not only be useless, but guilty! Since we are brothers, then I also have to think about the future of my eldest brother, right? ”
Su Dingfang said excitedly: "Minghua, how can you have such an idea? Compared to your safety, what is the military honor of the eldest brother? Besides, Minghua, if you lead everyone to break through and escape, this great achievement is very important to your future! ”
Liu Minghua waved his hand and said: "Big brother, I am just an ordinary child of a family, even if I make meritorious contributions, what can I do?" At my age, even if I make meritorious contributions, there will be no civilian, military generals, and I will not do such a thing that cannot be done. Where can it be compared to making the big brother meritorious? Therefore, I decided to be the queen of the highness! ”
"Good brother, you ......" Su Dingfang excitedly didn't know what to say. He felt that Liu Minghua had made up his mind and would not change. But Su Dingfang knew that the reason why Liu Minghua was the queen was partly from the military aspect, but a large part was for him Su Dingfang! Where can such a good brother be found? Therefore, Su Dingfang did not pretend anymore, but strengthened his determination to follow Liu Minghua!
"Big brother, what are you excited about? You're going to be promoted, brother, don't I follow suit? Okay, let's choose the people of the palace. My condition is: those who are not married do not! I don't want to leave some orphans and widows behind; Only children don't! The old man must be supported by someone; Don't, don't be a nobleman! Historical experience tells us that it is the rural soldiers who can fight hard......"
After Liu Minghua finished saying all the conditions, Su Dingfang was already smiling bitterly. Liu Minghua said it very bluntly, many languages are not commonly used in Datang, but the meaning of the expression is simple and clear.
According to these conditions, 50 team members were preliminarily selected, and Liu Minghua had to undergo special training, and then 30 people were selected.
"Big brother, not only these 50 people have to undergo special training, but all of us here have to undergo special training! I think that after the special training, everyone's hope of escape will be greatly increased! "Although the Tang Army is powerful, Liu Minghua is the best soldier from China in the 21st century! It's the champion of the 21st Century Special Forces Competition! Therefore, Liu Minghua's wilderness survival and special operations capabilities must far exceed those of the Tang Army in this era.
"Special training? Could it be a special practice? Is this special training method from heaven? Su Dingfang could feel that Liu Minghua said that this "special training" must be very powerful.
Liu Minghua said mysteriously: "Yes, this secret method is from heaven!" ”
Su Dingfang said excitedly: "Okay, with the secret method of training heavenly soldiers and generals, our combat power will definitely increase dramatically!" ”
Liu Minghua fainted: "The method of training by heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals? Well, even if it is. Big brother, if you want to practice this secret method, you can't do it without a few years of hard work. Now let's just choose some emergency secrets. It is mainly used to train the method of direction identification, night combat ability, breakthrough tactics, escape methods, and wilderness survival methods......"
Su Dingfang nodded his head after hearing this, but in the end, he was worried: "Minghua, these many secret methods will definitely greatly deplete the body, but we have food and water ...... now" To carry out so much training, the soldiers must have a good body. But now that everyone can't eat enough, how to keep the body up? Lack of food and water, how to make these more than 300 people last for half a month?
Liu Minghua said: "People can go without meals for a few days, but they can't go without drinking water for a few days. So, the next priority is to find water! Big brother, I asked you to arrange for someone to find a deep pit and find some stones, are these all okay? ”
Su Dingfang said: "Naturally, it's okay." But what's the use of that? ”
Liu Minghua smiled: "Of course it's useful, let's see if we can get a little water out of the stone." ”
Su Dingfang was stunned: "Huh? Minghua, you mean to use stones to get water? ”
"Yes!" Liu Minghua nodded seriously.
Su Dingfang was confused and said: "Minghua, the stones on this cliff are dry...... Is there water in it? This ......" Su Dingfang really couldn't figure it out. It's just that Liu Minghua is a "god son from heaven", Su Dingfang thinks that Liu Minghua may have a similar immortal method of turning stones into gold, right?
Next, Liu Minghua and others came to the edge of the deep pit.
Liu Minghua ordered a few cans to be put at the bottom of the pit, and some fragmentary horse skins were spread on them, and a few small holes were made in the horse skins, which were aimed at the mouths of several water cans.
Then, Liu Minghua had a branch propped up on top of a horseskin and a jug, and a pile of stones was placed on top of the branches.
When the stones filled the pit, Liu Minghua asked people to cover the stones with grass and branches. It's spring, and the leaves aren't very big, but with a few more branches, you can completely cover the deep pit.
Seeing Liu Minghua tossing like this, everyone didn't know what he was doing.
Lan'er finally couldn't help but ask, "Minghua, ...... are you?"
Liu Minghua smiled: "Isn't there no water?" I want to get some water from the stone. ”
"Huh? Taking water from the stone? Lan'er, like Su Dingfang, was also dumbfounded.
Liu Minghua stretched out his hand and said, "Don't believe it? Or do we bet? What if I get water tomorrow with these stones? ”
Lan'er blushed, and then said unconvinced: "Provoke me? I dare to make a promise...... What are you afraid of? Bet on it, if I lose, punish me for being with you? However, although everyone calls you 'the son of heaven descending from heaven', I think even the gods in the sky can't draw water from the stone! ”
Liu Minghua felt Lan'er's careful thoughts, felt her concern, shook his head and said, "It's okay to bet, but I won't allow you to be with me no matter if you win or lose." Okay, let's go back and rest now, and we'll know tomorrow if we can get water from the stone! ”
At night, it's surprisingly cold! Fortunately, Liu Minghua commanded everyone to make some places where they could shelter from the wind and rain, and there was a lot of hay on the cliffs, which could be used for heating. In addition, everyone knows that the temperature difference between day and night in the grassland is large, and they bring a lot of clothes, so this kind of cold is still bearable by everyone.
One night, many people didn't sleep soundly, because everyone already knew that Liu Minghua made those stones to get water! The crowd was very curious, eager to see after dawn how water came out of the stone.
Early in the morning, as soon as Liu Minghua got up, Le'er appeared, and then said excitedly: "Brother Minghua, I heard that you want to get water from the stone?" ”
Liu Minghua nodded and said, "Yes." Wait a little longer and the water will come out of the stone. ”
Le'er looked surprised and said, "Really? Brother Minghua doesn't lie? ”
Liu Minghua smiled: "You are a little girl, why are you so deceived?" Don't worry, when the sun is up, you will know the truth or falsehood! ”
As soon as the sun came out, the crowd gathered around the edge of the pit and waited for the result. There is a big difference in temperature here, and it was very cold last night, but now everyone has been sweating since the sun came out.
Liu Minghua looked at the sun and ordered the stones in the pit to be removed.
Lifting the grass and branches that covered the stones, someone exclaimed, "Ah, the stone is wet!" Could it be that there is really water in the stone? ”
This time, the crowd of onlookers was a sensation!
Liu Minghua immediately asked someone to take a cloth towel and wipe the wet stones clean, and then the cloth towel was wrung out and there was water!
"Ah, that's how you get water?" Su Dingfang and Lan'er looked at Liu Minghua with admiration.
Liu Minghua waved his hand and said: "Hehe, this little drizzle, the real surprise is below!" ”
After Liu Minghua finished speaking, he ordered everyone to speed up.
The stones at the bottom of the pit were getting wetter and wetter. When all the stones were removed, the branches were removed, and the horseskins were lifted, everyone was stunned!
