The tent was encircled, the stove was set up, and the people of Guanglu Temple brought people and noodles, and they had eaten the water surface tonight, and there was water, and they had eaten the water surface when it was cold.

In order to save time, everyone used large wooden barrels and basins to catch water, and scooped them into water bladders.

A large water bladder can hold dozens of catties of water, and if it is heavy, it will increase the burden on the horse.

Horses and camels are struggling to drink water, and the camels have not had water to drink for several days, but they can persevere, not that they are willing to be thirsty.

Thirty-three wild asses followed not far away, and they did not complain that no grass was given today.

Zhu Fan stood next to the water pump, his hands in the sleeves of his military coat: "If you don't go around in the desert, you will never know the preciousness of water." Captain, when we're leaving, take the well with you? ”

"With it." The chief nodded: "Stay here, others won't use it when they come, the well head is iron, it will oxidize, and the cowhide mat that seals it inside will also be aged."

Moreover, what is being called at the moment is to bring the pipe for drilling wells to Horin, and continue to drill wells to provide clean water for the people.

The river of Helin is not only used by people, but also by animals, and the people take the water from the river and drink it directly, which may cause them to get sick.

In addition, the drilling tools are there, so that we can prospect and find coal mines and iron mines, so that we can develop the place. ”

"The oasis is gone, there is still water, how did the sandstorm blow?"

Zhu Fan thought that there was less supply points for others on the road, and the animals lacked a home with water, so he was not in a good mood.

"As long as there is groundwater, the desert can be managed, and this is the only way to go, and with a small population, who wants to come here to plant trees?"

Li Chang didn't think too much about it, his task was to take care of the crown prince and the king of Qin.

On the other side, the young general and two guides watch others cook.

Dried vegetables are soaked in small pieces or small slices, including dried eggplant, dried cucumber, dried radish, dried green onion, dried coriander, dried radish strips, dried cowpeas......

Vegetables with large leaves, such as lettuce and cabbage, are dried and crushed, and then put into a sack to continue pressing.

Take it out and soak it to supplement people with vitamins, chlorophyll or something.

After eating the water surface today, I want to make a sauce, and the dried vegetables are soaked and fried with the meat sauce, not too salty, so that people can eat more vegetables.

"There are many treasures in Xiaqiu Village, and when it comes to digging a well, it doesn't take long to dig a well, and no one needs to carry water."

The guide watched the people meet and talk to the other guide and the young general.

The person in front raised his head: "Xiaqiu Village is a team designated by His Majesty to follow, I am afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Qin will be in danger, and this time the village will bring the family with me!" ”

"Yes, yes! If you don't encounter special circumstances, how can you know the strength of Xiaqiu Village, I observed their guns, and they seem to be different from those we take. ”

The young general echoed and said, and wondered, he saw the gun on the back of the people in Xiaqiu Village, was it a flintlock pistol? The length is not the same.

"How do we understand? Let's just cook, Xiaqiu Village must have means to ensure the safety of the two highnesses. ”

The person in front shook his head, he didn't inquire at all, for fear of being targeted.

"At the current rate, we can arrive at Helin before the lunar month, and spend the New Year there, and the winter is very cold."

The guide covered his ears with his hands, his ears were cold, and he didn't see that it was afternoon and the temperature was low.

"Xiaqiu Village will arrange it properly to keep the house warm, when we are in Yingtianfu, there is floor heating in Guanglu Temple, and there are many fire walls in the imperial city.

If you don't go out of the house, it's not cold, go out...... It's not as good as going out now, the water can freeze at night, if it weren't for the cotton clothes and quilts, it would really freeze people to death. ”

The man who met him was finally touched, he was afraid of the cold and was not used to the current climate.

On the other side, Zhu Fan also said about the temperature: "When you get to the place, you have to repair the fire road, and the greenhouse is built, and you can't use it this year, but others can use it in the future." ”

"I can use it this year, but it was very cold at the beginning of spring, and I couldn't walk. Some mung bean sprouts were born in the car in the village, which were long enough, and fried bacon for the two highnesses in the evening. ”

"I can use it this year, but it was very cold at the beginning of spring, and I couldn't walk. Some mung bean sprouts were born in the car in the village, which were long enough, and fried bacon for the two highnesses in the evening. ”

The lieutenant helped move the pump, which shook and sank into the sand.

A man in the village slapped his head, turned and ran.

Zhu Biao spoke: "Don't bacon, the yuba you made before, fry it with yuba, and eat it light." Hey! The wild ass came over. ”

As he spoke, he saw a wild donkey move slowly, as if looking at the place where the water was pumping.

"They didn't drink enough, and the water before was too much, and that was when the camels were not fed, and the horses controlled the amount of water they drank every day.

It was open to drink, but there was not enough water, and the wild asses had only the original ones, thirty-three heads divided into ten and a half basins.

They want to eat and drink enough to support them in finding their next place to live. ”

The chief judged the wild donkey's thoughts, and the wild donkey would not think that the water was pumped by a human and could not be drunk.

They have no right of belonging in their hearts, as long as it is water, it is a gift from nature.

Han Han said that wild asses will use their hooves to dig the soil in times of drought, digging a big hole, and the water seeps out, and they drink.

While they drink on their own, other critters can also come and drink together, and sometimes they will rush to drink.

It is said that wild asses can dig holes two to five feet deep, but unfortunately the current location for digging wells is too deep for them to dig down.

The wild donkey in charge of the forward probe approached little by little, and someone took the water and walked to the side to fill the water bladder, and it was startled and ducked back for some distance.

Stand there and observe, and come closer.

From time to time someone picked up the water, and some people put buckets and basins there waiting to catch the water, and the wild donkeys avoided again and again and came back.

Until it judged that there was no danger, and that it could not resist the temptation of water, it simply stood next to the water outlet, bowed its head and drank water, and it did not care if the person next to it stood up.

"Put a few pots next to them, let them drink, and don't delay our work." The lieutenant commanded.

At this time, the person who had just gone came back, took the wooden board, lifted the pump and lowered it down, so that it would not sink down.

Five large basins were placed aside, the pipes that came out of the water were flushed against the basins, and someone pushed the head of a donkey that was still drinking from the mouth of the pipe.

The wild ass was pushed, and when he looked at it, he saw that there was water in the basin, and he moved a few steps and drank it in the basin.

Here you can continue to fill other people's buckets and basins with water without delaying each other.

The donkey was glad to drink, and made a short cry, and the other donkeys came running and scattered, and drank around the basin.

Not only did they drink the water from the five basins, but they also went to the human basin to drink, and it is estimated that they took it for granted.

So the man who received the water gave them the basin again, and the pipe of the pump added water to them from time to time.

It was not until all the donkeys had had their fill that they left the tub and ran to stand there about thirty paces beside them.

The team washes the basin and then receives water to fill the water bladder.

"Let's guess the wild asses are wondering where the water comes from, unlike where they usually drink."

Zhu Fan looked at the group of wild donkeys who were still looking at them and said with a smile.

"Maybe I'm thinking about eating grass, I've given grass before, drink a stomach of water, and they can still eat."

The chief also laughed, but did not feed the wild donkey.
