Chapter 328: The Source of Life
Trying to open his eyes, Zhu Hou looked at a group of people gathered around him, tearful and laughing. It's just that after the laughter came out, it turned into a slight gasp. "Old, old man, what, why didn't you see it, ghost? Mader, liar! ”
Liu Jin had already cried into tears, Qian Ning was in tears, and his solid arms were leaning on Zhu Houzhao, but he didn't say a word. Bao Dahai's beard was full of crystal tears, Lei Buyu's eyes were red and swollen, and his eyes were full of admiration, and the guards who surrounded them were all teary-eyed, and then on the periphery were soldiers kneeling down with tears and full of expectations...
Zhu Houzhao's heart is not only satisfied, but also a kind of warmth. Sure enough, as Brother Wei said, when you let go of those empty reserves, what you gain is sincerity.
Bao Dahai's furry face leaned over and looked carefully at Zhu Houzhao's face. Zhu Houzhao stretched out his hand in disgust and pushed it away: "Get out!" Lao Tzu wants female ghosts, not hairy orangutans! ”
Everyone in the circle laughed, and Zhu Houzhao could still joke, indicating that there was nothing serious. Liu Jin trembled and opened the water bladder, and a sweet spring slowly took Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao into his mouth. Zhu Houzhao felt a hot pain in his throat and eyes at this time, and he didn't know where the strength came from, so he snatched the water bladder and drank it greedily!
"Good!" A heartfelt smile finally erupted on everyone's faces, and Bao Dahai was straight: "I said Your Majesty, there are really no female ghosts, you take a closer look, Lao Bao is really good!" ”
"Fuck off, Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is sleepy! Lao Liu, Lao Liu, hurry up and make the bed! Once relaxed, Zhu Houzhao only felt that his fatigue could not be stopped, and his eyelids were instantly heavier than Mount Tai. Without waiting for Liu Jin to get it right, his head tilted, and the water bladder fell to the ground.
Everyone was startled, and Liu Jin opened his mouth to cry, when he heard a deafening snoring sound. Everyone looked at each other and smiled, relieved. With a thick quilt on the stretcher, Liu Jin finally pulled off Zhu Houzhao's boots and couldn't help crying loudly!
The snow-white cloth socks were already bloodstained, and the feet were swollen like steamed buns. The hearts of everyone who had just smiled were pinched, Bao Dahai looked at Zhu Houzhao's feet, grunted, knelt on one leg, buried his head, and splashed a little bit of crystalline dust. When the bloodstained feet came into view, everyone who saw it couldn't help but fall to their knees, circle, circle, circle, like a stone thrown in the middle of the lake, spreading ripples. With Zhu Houzhao as the center of the circle, the head is brushed round and round, and the strange stone mounds of the Devil's City constitute a rich and colorful landscape painting. The army of 10,000 people was silent, only Zhu Houzhao's snoring hovered over Devil City.
After staying in the Devil's City for a day, Zhu Houzhao fully recovered and clamored to catch the female ghost. The army set off, with towering sand dunes in front of them, and yellow sand in the distance!
Zhu Houzhao rode the horse for a few days, and his groin was worn off with a layer of skin. His feet couldn't touch the ground, so he had to lie on the stretcher and shout five and six.
"Long live the lord, there is not much water, what should I do?" Liu Jin whispered in Zhu Houzhao's ear.
Zhu Houzhao was taken aback, and asked quietly and softly, "How many more?" ”
"Five days at most. But who knows when Badain Jarin will be able to go out? ”
"Grass! Trouble! Zhu Houzhao put away his smile and lay on the stretcher in contemplation. He sighed for a long time: "Alas, it has to be like this." Liu Jin, I only keep 30% of my drinking water, and the rest of the people are halved. Let me tell you, hold on a little longer, there are a lot of lakes in Badain Jarin, don't be afraid! ”
Liu Jin raised his head and just wanted to say something, but the majesty in Zhu Houzhao's eyes made him give up the idea of persuasion, just secretly wiped the corners of his eyes, and turned to leave.
If it weren't for the feat of Devil's City, this team that had not been in the army long would have been demoralized. In the desert, no matter how powerful you are, without water, it is a dead end! This is true for caravans, and the same is true for armies! On the march, the white bones that show the ground from time to time have long been silently telling this bumpy and unbreakable truth.
However, Zhu Houzhao, with the respect of the emperor, pacified the troops alone in the devil's city where thousands of people wandered, and he already had a supreme position in the hearts of all soldiers. Therefore, the order to control the use of water did not cause any waves, and everyone just silently followed the steps, believing Zhu Houzhao's words.
In the evening of the next day, Bao Dahai rushed to Zhu Houzhao's stretcher and shouted with surprise on his face: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there is water!" There is a lake! ”
Zhu Houzhao raised his head suddenly, his movements were a little big, and he pulled the wound, which hurt him so much that he bared his teeth. Ignoring the pain, Zhu Houzhao asked repeatedly: "Really?" How far? ”
"Haha, it's not far, it's estimated that there are three or five miles of land. Your Majesty, it is really the road of heaven! ”
", is Lao Tzu amazing? Haha, that's right, Lao Tzu is Hongfu Qitian! ”
Da Da The soldier who fetched the water returned. Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt bad, Bao Dahai lost the excitement just now, drooped his head, and walked over slowly.
"What's going on?" Zhu Houzhao asked sharply.
"Well, Your Majesty, that water, that water is bitter! Poisonous! Three have already been put down! ”
Zhu Houzhao looked up to the sky and sighed, and then looked at Liu Jin with his eyes: "Liu Jin, pass on my holy decree, everyone from now on, the drinking water will be halved!" Carry me to the line! Wait a minute! Bring the water bladder! ”
Zhu Houzhao took the water bladder and stuffed it into his crotch. After a while, he took the water bladder full of urine, put it to his mouth, and took it away in disgust. But looking at the coaxing water bladder in his hand, he was ruthless and took a few sipes.
"Phew! What a horse stinks! ”
Liu Jin looked at Zhu Houzhao with a sad face in shock, and couldn't believe that the thirteen-year-old emperor with fine clothes and jade food could do such a thing!
"What do you see? I'm in a hurry, I even have to drink your pee! Come, carry Lao Tzu and go around the team! ”
Liu Jin couldn't cry and couldn't even speak. Qian Ning looked at Zhu Houzhao with admiration in his eyes, but awe as if he had seen a god or Buddha!
"Come, come, brothers, I'll tell you the truth, we don't have much water. But how can a living person suffocate urine? It's nothing to drink some urine, Lao Tzu will do it first as a respect! Zhu Houzhao picked up the urinal, oh, it was a water bladder, took a sip, and the smell of coaxing suddenly spread.
No way! The emperor can also drink urine? The soldiers hesitated for a moment, then untied their water bladders and stuffed them into their crotches. It's just that when I put it to my mouth, it's really, really sour!
Zhu Houzhao sighed in his heart, this thing is really not delicious, but what if you don't drink it? If you force everyone, the morale of the army will be weakened, what should I do?
A rough and sturdy little officer raised the water bladder in his hand and shouted: "Grass! Your Majesty has drunk it, are you hypocritical? Lao Tzu comes first! As he spoke, he gulped down, and the orange-yellow urine flowed down the corners of his mouth, and the officer pursed his fingers and muttered: "Shame on waste!" ”
