All the servants worked together, but they only made three large buckets and a few small basins. Of these three large buckets, one was used for Chen Rong's bathing, and the other two were used by male and female servants for bathing.

After walking for more than ten miles, a pool of water appeared in front of me. The servants of the Chen family filled three large wooden barrels, filled several small wooden basins for washing, and wet the thick satin.

Wang Zhuo frowned, looked at the Chen family who were busy by the waterhole behind him, thought about it, and drank left and right: "You guys also go and fetch a few buckets of water." ”

Everyone was shocked, and one of Wang's children shouted, "Uncle, why should you believe a woman's nonsense? ”

Wang Zhuo suddenly shouted: "The carriage is empty and empty, why do you say so much?" Put it on! ”

In the past 20 days, whether it is the Wang family or the Chen family, they have eaten a lot of food, so some carriages have been vacated, which are just used to hold this water.

As soon as Wang Zhuo drank this, everyone didn't dare to say anything, so they had to follow Chen Shi to fill up the water. However, they only wanted to be perfunctory, and only filled a total of twenty buckets of water.

The convoy continued to move forward, and in the next ten miles, there were already three large water tanks, looking at those clear and rippling water waves, the Wang people shook their heads frequently. Wang Zhuo frowned even more, and thought in annoyance: It's just an ignorant girl pretending to be erudite, but I still listened to it and took it seriously. Hey, I'm going to be the laughing stock of others again!

That evening, the convoy was set up next to the water source. Under the mocking gaze of the children of the Wang family, Chen Rong quietly instructed everyone to refill the buckets and basins that had spilled out half of them due to the subversion of the carriage, and then under the care of Pingyu and others, they chose a clean place to take a bath.

She washed it herself, and forcibly asked all the servants to clean it thoroughly.

Fortunately, she was now accompanied by Chen's loyal servants, and although they felt that their girl was making a fuss, they quietly carried out her orders.

Early the next morning, Chen Rong ordered everyone to re-wet the thick satin in the water before starting to wash and set off.

On this day, when the sun rises in the east, it is dazzlingly red.

Pingyu looked at the sky and said to the carriage: "Girl, it's a big eye." ”

In the carriage, Chen Rong's low voice of reply was heard.

Since yesterday afternoon, Chen Rong, who didn't want to look at the eyes of the Wang family, returned to the middle of the convoy.

The convoy continued on its way.

By this time, the Wang children were no longer in the mood to play. At their urging, the convoy went as fast as it could, but in one morning, it had rushed thirty or forty miles.

But as noon approached, the weather was getting hotter and hotter.

The white sun shone on the earth, and the ground was scorching hot. As soon as the carriage moved, the dust scattered into the sky, and it seemed that it had not rained in this place for a long time.

At this time, the front suddenly slowed down.

Pingyu stretched out her head, but saw the smoke and dust in front of her, but it was a few strong men dressed in the clothes of Wang's servants returning from riding horses.

It's weird, this road is very peaceful, why did the Wang family send a road detective?

Those strong men rushed to the front of the Wang family's parents, and they didn't know what they said, and for a while, the muttering and complaining voices of the Wang family's children were endless.

Pingyu asked curiously, "What's wrong?" ”

Shang Suo whispered on the side: "Those people say that there is no water source for thirty miles ahead, and the wells they see along the way have dried up, and those villagers say that it has not rained here for a month, and they usually drink water, and they all draw water from the rugged mountains on the east side." The Nasaki Mountains are twenty miles away from here, and it takes a day to come and go. ”

When Shang Su said this, he looked at Chen Rong in the carriage with a complicated expression, and his eyes did not hide his astonishment. Pingyu too, she looked at the swaying curtain stupidly, and said sneeringly: "Girl, it seems that you already know? ”

By this time, the convoy had stopped.

Pingyu noticed that the servants of the Wang family brought several buckets from the carriage and began to feed the horses.

As the clear water appeared in front of everyone's eyes, suddenly, a young girl screamed, "Uncle, why do you feed these beasts water? It's so hot, I want to take a shower. ”

Another young man from the Wang clan also shouted, "Father, let us take a bath first, and then give the rest of the water to these beasts to drink." ”

There was silence in the convoy, and after a while, Wang Zhuo's command came, "Hugh is messing around." No bucket of water should be wasted until the well water is found. ”

"Uncle, we're just washing, as long as we don't splash the water."

"yes, yes, it's a waste of clean water for the beasts to drink."

After Wang Zhuo was silent for a while, the command came again, "The water used to feed the horses is limited to eight buckets, there are so many of you, who is it good to bathe in these eight buckets of water?" Don't make any more noise, no one should bathe in the water in the bucket! ”

When he said this, he gently comforted: "After the horses have drunk the water, we will hurry up and find a sufficient source of water as soon as possible, and you will have water for bathing and playing." ”

At this moment, the children of the Wang family finally stopped being noisy, but faintly, there were still muttering and complaining.

As soon as Ping Yu retracted her attention, Chen Rong's voice came from the carriage, "Fei, let's let our horses chew the water in the satin." ”

"Yes."

After the ponies have been fed, they set off again. This time, everyone stopped the hustle and bustle and began to rush with all their might.

Both the Wang family and the Chen family are fully prepared for this southward migration. It can be said that this convoy is composed entirely of horse-drawn carriages. In addition to the four horses in each carriage, there were two horses in reserve.

In this case, the thirty-mile road was completed in an hour.

However, the sun was still blazing in the sky, and all the fields on both sides of the road were still dry and cracked. Along the way, even the sky was gray, and the well I encountered not only did not drip of water, but the thick accumulation of dead leaves showed that this place had been dry for a long time.

At this moment, the Wang disciples faintly felt that something was wrong, and in the team, their complaints turned into uneasy inquiries and curses.

The convoy continued to move forward.

Another hour passed.

The sun began to sink in the west, and the winds were no longer so hot.

But everyone in the convoy fell into a strong uneasiness. The farther south they went, the more they were shocked to find that the fields on both sides of the road were more ravines and dry.

At this moment, everyone in the convoy felt as if their throats were on fire, and they were very thirsty. And the galloping horses were also weak at this time.

However, the front is still gray, obviously it is only early autumn, but what can be presented in front of everyone's eyes is just a barren dry color!

The entire team showed a kind of panic and uneasiness at this time, and only the Chen family's horses, who had chewed the satin water three times, were still in good spirits.

In the hopeful and restless eyes of the children, Wang Zhuo ordered: "Wang You, you feed the horses and drink them to your heart's content, go to explore the way, and come back to report when you see the water source!" ”

"Yes."

After a pause, Wang Zhuo's tired voice sounded, "Go and call Chen Arong over." ”

"Yes."

As soon as the answer fell, a Wang disciple said anxiously: "Father, no, never." He lowered his voice and said uneasily in Wang Zhuo's inquiring eyes: "Father, as the head of the Wang family, you have asked a daughter of the Chen clan twice in a row in just one of the journeys. Isn't this using your old name to achieve Chen's Ah Rong? ”
