Chapter 47 Entering Zhongzhou City
"Fourth uncle, you ask each family to take a bucket and put it behind the thatch in front, and say that my master passed on my method of asking for water, and we have no way to live now, so we can only give it a try."
Gu Anxia grabbed her niece's arm: "How sure are you?" ”
Gu Tianxing knew his concerns, so he said honestly: "My mana is limited, so I can only let our family last for four more days." ”
"Enough is enough, Boss Jiang said that he will be able to go to Zhongzhou in three days at most, Tuan Tuan, you are really our lucky star!"
After Gu Anxia finished speaking, he hurriedly ran to inform the families, Gu Li had also fallen at this time, and he didn't want to say more, so naturally he couldn't let him be in charge anymore.
"Little Fourth Son, this is true, Tuan Tuan wants to ask the Dragon King for water?"
The old man propped himself up, and let the eldest son come over on his back to ask, and everyone who could still move came with a bucket.
When the old father heard his eldest brother's words, he was a little unhappy and said:
"Listen to me, we have to give it a try if we succeed or not, otherwise death of thirst will be a matter of sight!
My family borrowed water from the Dragon King, this matter is related to heaven, my old man hopes that the big guy has to have a number in his heart, and swear that he will never leak half of it! ”
I have to say that her father is always thoughtful, and at this time, he is still so calm.
"This is how it should be, if it can be successful, we will all set up an immortal tablet for Tuan Tuan! I'll bring a swear ......," Guri was panting, trying to give everyone a look.
At the moment of life and death, everyone hurriedly swore a poisonous oath, and even the Jiang family did not fall behind.
After the buckets were placed, all the hundreds of people fell to their knees on the ground, except for those who were unconscious, and muttered words like "ask the dragon lord to be gracious".
Gu Tianxing took Qingzhu to the barrel, intending to perform the precipitation technique.
Now that her spiritual power has increased greatly, this spell has also improved a lot compared to before, and she can already emanate a trickle from her fingertips, but it is really a thin water, and it will take at least half an hour to fill a bucket of water.
Gu Tianxing had only been exerting it for a while, and he was impatient, so he simply moved out all the mineral water in Shui Lanxing's house and the water for washing vegetables in the basin.
Qingzhu willingly poured the water into the bucket, but it was still not enough. Gu Tianxing had to run to the dojo twice and fetched a few buckets of water from the small pool where Wang Tianci lived.
Wang Tianci, who was still cultivating in the thatched hut in the dojo and cultivating spiritual roots, looked confused, what is the master? Come to this blessed cave to get water?
Gu Tianxing didn't have time to greet him, he was busy, after all, there were many people waiting for help.
"Let's all come and get our buckets back!" As soon as Gu Tianxing finished this, he motioned for Qingzhu to help him, deliberately making his face pale and very weak.
I have to let these people know that it is not easy to ask for this water, and they can't ask for as much as they want.
Sure enough, everyone went over nervously, and when they saw the wooden barrel filled with water, they were all so excited that they burst into tears, and they kept kowtowing, thanking Gu Tianxing and the Dragon Prince.
Qingzhu returned to the canopy with Gu Tianxing dressed so weak on his back:
"Miss really took great pains for these people."
"It's just a gesture, and besides, these people have been kind to me since I was a child, and they should do it to help them survive."
Although she is not a virgin, she is not hard-hearted, and she really can't do it when she sees these hundreds of people dying of thirst.
After everyone drank the water, they all felt alive, and they had a little strength and a whole thank-you ceremony, thanking and bowing to the sky.
"Dad, who do you say this group master is? Why would you borrow water from the fairy master? Gu Dazhuang poured saliva again, chatting and gossiping with a few people in the family.
"Water can't stop your mouth? It's not your turn to do these things! I can tell you clearly, if Tuan Tuan hadn't borrowed water, our poisonous oath would not be nothing.
But now this dragon king has given her some face, if someone breaks her oath, you look at it, you don't know what will happen! ”
Gu Orion didn't mean to scare a few sons, but that's what he thought in his heart, in the future, this matter of borrowing water is still rotten in his stomach!
The Jiang family was even more shocked by Gu Tianxing's borrowing of water, although they were in trouble so far, but after all, they were not really ignorant of the name of the village, and they did not believe in these gods and ghosts.
"Mother, it's really water!"
"Brother, you have drunk two large bowls, and my mother and I have only drunk a small bowl." Jiang Xiaoqi expressed dissatisfaction with his eldest brother.
Boss Jiang took a sip of the water in his mouth again: "It seems that it's really not a trick!" ”
"I don't think so, if you really want water, why go behind the thatch? It's nothing more than a cover-up! ”
Although Jiang Lao Er was grateful for the life-saving water brought by Gu Tianxing, he never agreed with the nonsense of 'borrowing from the Dragon King'.
"Okay, second brother, this matter is over! In the future, we will be more affectionate to this little girl, whether she has a miracle or not, people will have the grace of life for us after all. ”
Mrs. Jiang said this, but she thought in her heart: With a total of eight buckets of water in her own house, it is not possible to do it at all. Besides, when the land is so dry, where can we get water from it?
Everyone in the ancient father's family didn't have any doubts, they were only worried about Gu Tianxing's body, after all, she pretended to be very realistic, and no one believed her when she said that she was fine.
After the big guy drank comfortably and rested for a while, he finally recovered some strength and set foot on the road to Zhongzhou again.
The crowd pushed the cart and dragged their steps slowly, and the boys' self-defense sticks had long been used as crutches.
The adults' sickles, axes and other things are no longer at hand, and if a group of people come to rob them in this scene, they can easily take down these hundred or so people.
It's not that the big guys are letting their guard down, it's really that their physical strength can't keep up, and besides, on the road at this time, except for them, there is probably no breath in the group.
The people lying on the ground, in groups of three or five, had already been unrecognizable, and the sun was so strong that there were not many flies and insects or anything like that.
The sun was scorching, the air was glowing with a scorching glow, and many of the thatched haystacks on the ground were scorched.
Gu Tianxing was a little anxious, the drought and water shortage had lasted for a long time, and even the river had dried up more than a month ago, and now there are only a few places where there is still a water source.
The situation in Zhongzhou should not be much better, even if the Jiang family is there, I don't know if it will be able to replenish supplies and livestock at that time.
……
Three days later, the Zhongzhou City Tower finally appeared in front of everyone, and Mrs. Jiang breathed a sigh of relief and finally survived.
She turned, regained her former grace, and owed to the people:
"This way, thank you for taking care of you, there is Zhongzhou ahead, and when the official is sent to investigate, everyone just needs to say that it is a distant relative of my Jiang Mansion.
When you enter the city, the Jiang family will definitely thank you well. ”
The people of Daao Village can be regarded as a reassuring pill, and they are full of expectations for entering the city.
Walking to the city gate, this short stretch of road is extremely clean, and of course the cleanliness here means that there are no dead people.
Along the foot of the city walls, rows of straw huts were erected, and in them sat frail refugees. These people only raised their eyelids and glanced at their group, and then they did not react, probably seeing their empty carts, and did not want to waste their strength.
was guessing wildly, only to see the Jiang family walking at the forefront stopped, Mrs. Jiang looked at the closed city gate and nodded to her son.
The general will be willing, and shouted at the city tower:
"The Jiang family's room is here, if you want to enter the city and return home, I hope everyone will have a convenient trip!"
"Do you have a certificate?" A soldier in armor on the castle tower asked.
"There is a jade pendant as proof!"
After a while, he put down a thin rope lock from the city tower, and tied a small vegetable basket to one end, and Jiang Boss immediately put the jade pendant in.
There was silence again, and everyone was worried in their hearts, "God bless, but it must go well!" ”。
Boss Jiang clenched his sweaty fists, straightened his waist, and did not move at all, this is his dignity as the grandson of the Jiang family.
"It's my young master! And my wife, yes, yes! ”
A person dressed as Xiao Si on the city tower poked his head, and when he saw the Jiang family clearly, his eyes lit up, and he immediately shouted.
When everyone saw this, they all hurriedly followed, afraid that they would not have time to enter after opening the door for a while, after all, there were many refugees around.
Sure enough, as the city gate slowly opened, the refugees in the grass hut also reacted and wanted to come over.
Soon, a group of long-haired guards came out of the city, staring fiercely at the refugees who wanted to come forward.
The soldier who was questioning on the city tower before also greeted him:
"Madame Jiang, forgive me, it's not a big deal, it's really that there are constant people these days, Shangfeng has issued an order, and he must not be allowed to enter the city, so he has to be careful." Between the words, there was a bit of flattery.
Madame Jiang smiled and nodded:
"It should be so, this time it is really thanks to my lord, you are so dedicated to the safety of Zhongzhou, the prince knows that he will be rewarded.
By the way, these are my distant relatives, and they are not homeless people who travel together all the way, and I hope that it will be convenient for adults. ”
The prince that Mrs. Jiang said was the king of Zhongshan in Zhongzhou, and the person dressed as a soldier in the eyes of the refugees was Cao Yan, the general of Sipin.
When Mrs. Jiang heard Mrs. Jiang mention her people, she hurriedly rushed over,
"Yes, Brother Bing, I'm her aunt!"
The corners of Cao Yan's eyes protruded, and he waved his hand to let him go, but he thought in his heart:
Who's your big brother? This lady, you might as well not speak, can the Jiang family have relatives like you? Is this fooling me?
