Wang Zhuo looked at his face for a while and waved his hand to indicate that everyone had retired.
The team stopped and gave the horse a little more water and then set off.
In order to save water, the Wang family did not cook rice, and only some dry food was made for dinner. There are some waters along with these dry foods. Because of the large number of people, the team of every ten people only sent a pot of water. Against the setting sun in the west, Wang Zhuo stood in the front of the car and said seriously: "You, the rest of the water is sent to your hands. Before you find the water, you can save it."
There was a buzz in the team.
In this kind of snoring, Wang’s seven female voices were the loudest. She screamed,
How can the water given to us be more than everyone? Is this noble?
Spoken in one word, all quiet.
Hey, all the guards and servants, while bowing their heads. It seems that everyone is holding their breath, and the air is filled with a kind of depression and tension.
Wang Zhuo glanced at the tall and brave guards and turned to Wang's seven women and shouted: "Shut up! If you have already joined the road, you will have to taste the bitterness. This kind of words cannot be said later!"
As soon as the voice fell, Wang Zhuo wished to pay tribute to the people.
Where are the seven women of Wang's wife who have been drunk by their father? At the moment, the little face was long and the tears were rolling in my eyes. On her side, she is a low-pitched brother and sister.
At this time, the sky in the east raised a faint bright moon. That moonlight hangs in the gray sky, if you don't look at it, you can't find it.
The team continued on the road. As the last glimmer of light faded, the guards all lit up the torches. In the autumn wind, the torches hunted and added a bit of energy to the night-time team.
Out of the uneasiness of the heart, the team went very fast.
Chen Rong was sitting in the carriage. She didn't have many people in her team. Because she got her cockroaches at the beginning, she didn't waste any time except drinking a lot of water. So after a day, the barrel The water is still full.
Therefore, compared with the anxiety outside, Chen’s people seem to be calm and calm.
Time passed by, and unconsciously, the team had gone through the middle of the night, and all the way to the middle of the moon, the people still desperately found that they did not see half of the water source!
Wang’s people who sent out the path have not yet returned. In desperation, Wang Zhuo had to send people to ask the local people about the water source. This question only knows that the nearest source of water here is also a mountain road of forty miles. The mountain road is rugged and difficult. Even if the local people are used to mountain passersby, it will take two days and one night to take the water back. For this reason, the villagers turned into refugees after they failed to make the rain, and they also moved to the south.
This evening, the team did not stop, and when it was dawn, the thirsty and tired mounts added water to the dewdrops on the roadside. Of course, the Wang family can not drink the dew on the dry grass like a beast.
Until the sun rises again, I feel that the things of the Wang family are not good enough to drink the parking team, take a rest, think about it. At this time, the people they sent out to explore the road have not returned.
At noon, the last water of the Wang family was used up. All the people began to face the thirst without end.
Finally, the eyes of Wang’s sons turned to the Chen family, who had always been filled with water and seemed to be full of spirit.
"The" has a hoof sound that sounds crisp in Chen Rong's ear.
Hiratsuka closes his head and whispers in the carriage: "Girl, the king's family is here."
"Yeah." The voice from the carriage was still calm and calm.
At this moment, her tone of voice makes Ping Wei feel a big heart.
After a while, Wang Golang’s voice came from outside the carriage. "Arong, take the liberty, please don’t be surprised." In his voice, he was embarrassed.
The curtains opened at a glance.
When Wang’s children were confronted with Chen Rong, their eyes were bright, and they were filled with jealousy and envious eyes. At this time, this Chen Arong still had a clean face and a bright hair, but there was no dust. tired. Compared with her, where do they look like the aristocratic sons of the old days?
Chen Rong smiled and smiled at the Wang family. She waited for them to speak. Then Mann said: "If you don't give up, you will move this bucket of water. This bucket is used by my old bathing, it is still clean. The two barrels underneath are actually servants in the government, which threaten to smother your body."
Her voice is very sincere. She knows that the scope of the drought is not large, and within a few days, they can get out of this predicament. What she needs now is the goodwill of the Wang family and the good reputation that can be spread by the people.
Wang’s people never thought that she would be so happy. When she came, Wang’s seven women still thought about her more than a dozen words, accusing her, and forcing her, but these words are not worthy of a sentence. field!
Then, Wang Wulang coughed and took the lead and arched her hand and turned her head.
After a while, three servants came to the servant. They lifted Chen Rong’s bath and walked to the front.
When the water was lifted to Wang Zhuo, Wang’s seven women’s mouths were flat and hate and said:
Father, there are only half a bucket left! Oh, it’s that Chen Rong’s washing, I’ve wasted so much!
As soon as her voice fell, Wang Zhuo glanced at her. He shouted and said: "What is this? People are willing to give you water, you are not only grateful, but also resentful? I am Wang, what? When did you give birth to a daughter like you?"
This is very heavy.
In fact, he had to drink. The voice of Wang’s seven women is not small, and there are many people around.
Wang’s seven women never thought of it, and they were scolded by their fathers. And this time, the dislike in the father's tone was something she had never heard before. At the moment, tears poured into her eyes, and she sucked her nose heavily. Wang’s seven women slammed the curtains and shrank them into the car. After a while, the carriage came and cried.
A middle-aged man advised: "Yang is young, and what she said is not true."
Wang Zhuo sighed heavily: "She is as big as Chen's Arong. How can she be young, and Arong is so advancing and retreating?"
He drank here, sighed and closed his eyes. He said, "Let Arong come over, hehe."
When the Wang family came to Chen Rong, Chen Rong did not delay and immediately followed him.
Far away, she was still in the carriage, and she was greeted by Wang Zhuo Ying, and she said with great respect: "Chen Rong has seen Wang Gong."
Her expression, her tone, very respectful, this respectful, even better than the first two days.
Wang Zhuo saw the shape, the wrinkled brow, unconsciously stretched out. He kindly waved at her and called: "Arong came near."
"Yes."
"Arong, my uncle asked you, this drought, how did you expect it? Why are you so decisive to make water and wet the satin? Is there any that reminds you that you know that this trip has appeared? So changed?"
When referring to the word "God", Wang Zhuo added a tone and looked at Chen Rong's eyes and unwittingly added a point.
Chen Rong understood his hopes. At the moment, she was full of happiness and bowed her head. She said with great respect: "The uncle is not bad."
When the six characters are out, Wang Zhuo’s eyes are bright, and the whispering voice is quiet.
Chen Rong said with respect and respectfulness: "When Chen Ronggang entered the state, he dreamed of a white-haired old man who was facing the cracked field too much. The next day I heard the Wang family's brothers say that when there was too little water in the field, I suddenly remembered This dream, this is reported to Wang Gong."
Wang Zhuo nodded and sighed: "It turned out to be a warning to the sky. I only blame me, don't believe in ghosts and gods." In this era, Confucianism is breaking down in the world, Taoist Buddhism is rampant, and the Mohist thoughts that do not believe in ghosts and gods are also left in the people. Wang Zhuo concealed his mistake with a phrase "Do not believe in ghosts and gods", which is to erase the mistakes of his own good words.
At this moment, not only Wang Zhuo, but also the children of the Wang family, they all have a good impression on Chen Rong’s eyes. Not only did she voluntarily admit the ghosts and warnings, but she also mentioned that the youngsters of the Wang family had discovered the drought. In this way, even if the world talks about it, it will only say that they are too rash.
Wang Zhuo stretched his hand to caress the beard. After he got the answer he wanted, he waved his hand and motioned Chen Rong to retreat.
Chen Rong’s carriage just took a few steps. He suddenly remembered something and asked him,
Arong, I don’t know if you can tell the old man in the dream, how many days can the drought be solved?
He asked these worries. After the big worry of the country and the people, let me mention what I really want to ask. "Do we have to walk for a few days to get off?"
Chen Rong said that the carriage returned. She gave a gift and shook her head. She respectfully said: "This, Chen Rong doesn't know." In Wang Zhuo's disappointed expression, she said inexplicably: "It will not take long. ?"
"I hope so, let's go back."
"Yes."
Wang Zhuo looked at the carriage that Chen Rong gradually retreated. He reached out and stroked the long handle. He suddenly said, "This Chen Rong is good, and it is worthy of my Wang family!"
