In the scorching summer, the sun shines on every corner, and the sun makes people panic.

"General...... Our people didn't dig up the water. Iron Blood knelt on one knee and said with a heavy heart.

Mu Chen's deep eyes sank slightly, and his smooth forehead wrinkled into a small mountain, it has been three days since they came here, "How much food is left?" ”

"I'm afraid the food won't last for three days, general, do we still want to continue to give porridge?" Iron-blooded and heavy, this is more difficult than leading troops to fight.

Mu Chen didn't answer the question, and said calmly: "With the food brought from the house, how many days can it last?" ”

"Five days."

Mu Chen is an upright official, and he doesn't have much grain in storage, and this grain is still exchanged for money in other cities.

"That's enough." In front of Mu Chen's map, this was drawn by him according to the surrounding terrain, and it was marked with circles, "From today onwards, there will be two groups of people, you are responsible for going to these places to find water sources, and I will take people to the other three." ”

"Yes."

Barren mountains and mountains, high mountains and steep mountains, insects can be seen on the road that have been killed by thirst, and a lot of wild grasses have died.

Mu Chen and his party walked through the wilderness and came to the second marked place to continue looking for water, some of the guards behind them were sweating hot, and everyone was thirsty and their throats were hot.

He glanced at the people behind him and said aloud, "Rest in place." ”

When the guards heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to search, estimating that each of them would choke.

"General, he's fainted!" Suddenly, someone in the crowd spoke, and the guards became frightened.

Mu Chen quickly came to the fainted person to check, his deep eyes revealed a hint of coldness, "He has a heat stroke, move him to a cool place and feed him salt water." ”

After giving the order, he observed the tired guards, frowned, and said, "You stay and take care of him, I went up to find the water source, and I found you together." ”

"General, we'll go with you." Some of the guards stood up and said.

Mu Chen shook his head, even if their situation kept up, it would be a hindrance, "Obey the order!" ”

Several people hung their heads guiltily, knowing that he was for their good, and did not force it again: "General, you take this water." ”

Mu Chen didn't refuse, hung the water bag on his waist, and walked towards the mountain, and it didn't take long for his figure to disappear from everyone's eyes.

After a stick of incense, he came to the top of the mountain.

He surveyed the terrain around him, came to a place where he might find a source of water, and began to dig down.

However, what he never expected was to step on a cave covered with plants.

Rao was a light achievement, and when he fell into the cave, he had already suffered many injuries on his body, especially his heels and arms, which were cut by the stone wall and were still bubbling with dazzling blood.

Mu Chen pursed his lips slightly, forcibly holding back the pain, and then observed the surrounding environment in a faint light.

Drip... Drip......

His ears moved, and he walked on with his wounded hand limping, and in a moment the corners of his mouth rose at the sight of the bottomless pool of water in front of him.

He looked down at the injuries on his body, shook his head and smiled: "Is this a blessing in disguise?" ”

Mu Chen walked in the cave, it was impossible to return the way he came, he had to find the exit now.

Time flies, and the sun on the horizon retracts its last tail.

The sky gradually darkened, and the waiting guards couldn't help but worry and get anxious when they saw that Mu Chen hadn't come back yet.

Someone stood up and proposed, "You two take him back and report that the Iron Guard General is missing, and we will go look for the General." ”

"Okay."

......

"What?" As soon as Iron Blood returned to the courtyard, he heard the message of Mu Chen's disappearance, and roared out in disbelief.

"Why don't you send someone to follow the general!"

They are not familiar with the environment, it is easy to get lost, and it is even more dangerous to travel alone in the mountains.

The person who suffered from heat stroke had already woken up, knowing that Mu Chen had made the decision because of him, he felt guilty and blamed himself at the moment, and lowered his head: "Please iron guard to punish the crime." ”

Iron Blood glanced at him in annoyance, knowing that now was not the time to punish the crime, "Take me to the general." ”

The other two listened and immediately walked in front to lead the way.

In the mountains, Mu Chen limped out of the mouth of the cave, and his deep eyes looked at the sparse stars hanging in the sky.

He let out a long breath, and most of the day passed!

"General, where are you, General?"

"General.....

Mu Chen heard a voice from nearby and knew that the guards were coming to look for him, so he cleared his throat and said, "I'm here." ”

When the guards heard his voice, they looked at each other with joy and walked in his direction.

After a while, several people saw Mu Chen's tall figure, and several people were so excited that their eyes burst into tears, "General, where have you been?" ”

At the same time, several people also discovered the injuries on his body, and they all looked around vigilantly, "General, the injuries on your body?" ”

Mu Chen didn't answer, and said calmly: "The water source has been found, it's in the cave not far behind me, bring the villagers here to fetch water tomorrow, and help me go back." ”

"Okay."

But several people looked at his injury, and they didn't know where to start for a while, and they didn't know where to help.

Fortunately, he met Iron Blood and others halfway, which sent Mu Chen back to the house.

In the middle of the night, the atmosphere in the house was terrifying, and everyone's breathing became cautious.

Iron Blood looked at the pale and fainted person on the bed, and his brows furrowed, "I'll go find the doctor, you guys are here to take care of the general." ”

Due to the remoteness and drought here, the original doctors walked and left, and there were no medical people at all.

Iron Blood rode his horse overnight, searched for several medical halls but didn't watch the door, and a handsome figure suddenly flashed in his mind.

He rode his horse and turned around, found Song Mingyue in the Materia Medica, and told Mu Chen's situation.

Song Mingyue's delicate brows furrowed slightly, and her eyes flashed with worry, "I'll go with you." ”

After speaking, she picked up the medicine box and moved neatly on the horse.

Seeing this, Cui Ya and the others were a little uneasy, but seeing that she had made up her mind, they could only tell her to be careful in everything.

.......

Song Mingyue checked the person lying on the bed, and her delicate brows gradually wrinkled into the word Xiaochuan.

She had already heard about the situation on the way here, but she didn't expect Mu Chen's situation to be more serious than she imagined, but fortunately, the bleeding had stopped.

"You stay and help, and the rest go back to rest first."

"Iron Will, you untie his clothes."

Iron Blood was stunned when he heard this, but when he saw her calm face, he immediately knew that he had misunderstood.

The man's strong muscles were instantly exposed to the air, but Song Mingyue didn't have time to appreciate it at the moment.

The man couldn't help but hurt his arms and thighs again, and even his chest was cut.

She first disinfected the wound with alcohol, but since his wound was already inflamed, it was not easy for her to deal with it.

It took her almost half an hour to completely bandage his wounds.

"You go down and rest, I'll just watch here." She wiped the sweat from her forehead a little tiredly.

Iron Blood didn't move, looking at the person on the bed uneasily.

Song Mingyue saw his worry and the tiredness on his face, and her voice turned cold, "Are you not following your general's arrangement?" ”

As the words fell, a flash of worry flashed in her eyes and she looked at the person on the bed.

"Nope." Iron Blood hurriedly shook his head, the military order was like a mountain, and he didn't dare to disobey.

"So what are you still standing here?" Song Mingyue said coldly, her aura was full in an instant, and now that Mu Chen has fallen, the next hard work will have to be iron-blooded.

If the iron body collapses, it is estimated that the drought relief will become more difficult.

Iron Will was stunned by her and hesitated to leave.

For a moment, there were only two people left in the room.

Song Mingyue came to the side of the bed and looked at the person in front of him up close, his face was like a knife carving, and the arc was perfect.

The high cold, thick ink like a sword, has only been seen for a few days, but the overall color of this man has darkened for a while.

However, on the contrary, the three-dimensional facial features are more prominent, and the fierce spirit still comes out.

She bled her cheeks and looked at the person in front of her quietly, not knowing when she fell asleep.

When she opened her eyes again, she clearly felt a sharp gaze, and she looked up to see that the man had woken up and was looking at her.

Her face instantly burned hot, and she stood up a little unnaturally to distance herself.

Mu Chen watched her movements and looked at her playfully, "You're so afraid of me, I won't eat you." ”

"No, where am I afraid of you?" Song Mingyue shifted her gaze to other places, pretending to stretch her waist, and muttered: "I'm really tired, since you're awake, I'll go back and rest first." ”

"Well, let Iron Will clean up the next room for you and come out for you." Mu Chen nodded, knowing that she must have been tired all night when she saw her bloodshot eyes.

Song Mingyue nodded, she can't go back now, the man's wound may become inflamed at any time, and there is still Dr. Jiang in the medical hall, so she doesn't have to worry.

As soon as Song Mingyue went out, she saw that Iron Blood was already standing at the door, which made her stunned for a moment.

"Miss Song, please come here."

After he went back last night, he didn't go back to rest immediately, but asked someone to prepare a room for her, which happened to be next door to Mu Chen.

"Hmm." Song Mingyue snorted lightly.

The environment here is not good, not even the medical hall, and you can smell the smell of earth in the heat of summer.

But she's not a fussy person, and she's lived in all the shabby huts.

Squeak –

"General, I have arranged Miss Song in the room next to you according to your instructions." Iron Will walked in and said respectfully.

At the same time, Yu Guang secretly looked at him with some worry, and after seeing that he was fine, he returned to his heart.

Sure enough, it was right to call Miss Song.

"Hmm." Mu Chen snorted and said, "According to my instructions, arrange for the villagers in the nearby town to fetch some water and come back." ”

The most important thing at the moment is to solve the problem of people's drinking water, and it is the turn to solve the lack of water for crops.

"The guards have already gone to the nearby villages and towns to call the villagers, general, you have a good rest in the past few days, and leave the rest to me."

After listening to this, Mu Chen knew that these were all said by that woman, otherwise he would not be so careful according to the appearance of iron and blood.

"You can go down and help."
