Chapter 2247 happy
The water that comes out is clear, but it will be a little turbid when it enters the bottom of the pit. But slowly the water becomes clear, and you can see the stones at the bottom of the pit clearly. This is different from the water that was so turbid just now that you can't see the bottom of the pit.
Completely different.
Man Bao and others:...
They scratched their heads guiltily and hid quietly.
Only then did Nie Canjun remember to praise them, and picked up the relationship between superiors and subordinates, "Master Zhou is really awesome, he really dug out the water, hahahaha..."
Only then did Man Bao remember that she was the chief officer and there was no need to feel guilty, so he came back, laughed and accepted Nie Canjun's compliments, and then squatted beside him to watch the pit gradually increase in number and the clear water.
Said: "Should we station here?"
Nie Canjun looked around and shook his head, "It's better to station on the other side of the river ditch. There is a piece of sandy land there, it is also very spacious, and it is leeward, so it is better than here."
So this can only be used as a water point, but the two sides are not very far, and they have a car, so there is no need to worry.
Because the water was dug out by their own hands, all six of them were very excited, so as soon as the water truck arrived, they rolled up their sleeves and planned to fetch a few buckets of water themselves.
Mr. Zhuang came trotting over on his horse and saw them covered in mud and water. He couldn't help but get angry and said, "Why don't we clean up quickly? What if we get sick?"
Man Bao pointed to the sun on the horizon and said: "Sir, it's summer now and it's hot. We dried it after we dried it. And only the trouser legs got wet, not the clothes."
Mr. Zhuang: "Do you think you are a clothes drying pole? Let's dry it for a while and change it quickly."
Man Bao hesitated and said frankly, "Sir, we want to take a bath."
Mr. Zhuang couldn't help but cast his eyes on the water in the pit and pondered, "There may not be enough firewood."
Manbao said: "The sun is so big, you can wash it with cold water. Just boil water for Mr. Heyin or boil it."
Du Yu glanced at them and felt that they were wasting too much water. Didn't they just go without a shower for eleven days? It was normal for them to go without a shower for three to five months.
However, he still gave some advice, saying: "Pick up those hot stones from the edge of the river and put them into the water to scald them. Although it won't make the water hot, it can also make the water less cold."
Man Bao thought this was a good idea, so they carried the bucket and ran to find the stones. Then the water they brought up settled and was left to dry in the sun.
The guards found a place to set up a bathing place for them. Not only them, but also Nie Canjun and the soldiers couldn't help scratching their backs. Seeing that the water in the puddle was still gushing out, they might as well scratch their backs.
Get some water to clean yourself.
In order to make the water flow out faster, Nie Canjun also moved two other stones, and three springs popped out of the puddle.
When the moon was bright and the stars were dim, everyone finished washing. Man Bao rolled up his dry hair, smelled the sweet smell, jumped off the carriage, and ran towards the fire.
Mr. Zhuang and the others were sitting around a fire, and Sister-in-law He was making pancakes for them by the fire. The aroma that Man Bao smelled came from the pancakes.
Bai Shan was faster than her. When he saw her coming, he split the cake in his hand into two and gave her half. Man Bao took it and sat down next to him. After looking around, he asked: "Bai Er"
Are they not healed yet?"
"It's good, let's go to the puddle to watch the scenery."
Man Bao took a bite of the pancake, and found that it had a little bit of meat in it, and it was crispy and fragrant. She was very happy and asked, "Have you filled up the water you need?"
Bai Shan nodded, "The heavy rain said that we can reach Lop Nur in two or three days. There is not only water there, but also a town. We can rest there for a day and replenish some water."
Manbao, who was thinking about whether to collect some water at night, immediately gave up the idea, looked at Heavy Rain opposite and asked, "What town is there?"
Heavy Rain said lazily: "It's not really a city. It's just a group of people living together. It doesn't even have a name. But there used to be an ancient city in the north, but now there are only shabby houses and city walls, and the waterways have changed.
Everyone built a house on the other side to live in, but the road to the Western Regions passes through there. In recent years, many people have passed there, and more people live there. If we want to buy rice, flour and dry food, that is the best.
place."
He has been to the Western Regions several times, always escorting caravans there, so he is familiar with the road, "But when we get there, we can walk along the river for a few days, and we can meet more or less water and people. It is a grassland.
So I will be a little more relaxed and wait until I have passed that period before entering the desert again."
He said: "That is the last desert. After that, there will be a large grassland. There are also large wheat fields and highland barley. This is the Gaochang country you are going to. By the way, it can no longer be called Gaochang country. It has to be called Anxi.
.”
Man Bao sketched the journey in his mind and exclaimed, "It's really far away. Your Majesty really sent troops all the way to destroy Gaochang Kingdom."
Bai Shandao: "The soldiers and horses were drawn from all over Xiazhou. Hou Ji only brought some of the soldiers and horses from the capital. Not all of them set off from the capital."
"That's also very far."
Bai Shan smiled. Gao Changguo provoked and neglected the Jin Dynasty several times, and there were Turkic forces standing behind him. If His Majesty did not take action to intimidate, I am afraid that the entire Northland would not be peaceful in the future.
Haven't you seen that after the destruction of the Gaochang Kingdom, both the remaining Turkic forces and the Huihe Tubo side became much more honest?
This time, there are only rumors that the emperor is not good and there is such chaos. When His Majesty's decree is issued, I am afraid that not many people will dare to take the lead.
Heavy Rain couldn't help but look at them. He was really curious and couldn't help asking, "Is His Majesty the Emperor really okay?"
Man Bao glanced at him and said, "What can happen to him?"
She said: "Not many people in the capital are infected with the disease. The most sick people are the people in Xiazhou. The emperor is still living in the palace. Smallpox cannot enter the palace. Don't worry, he is fine. It looks like he will live for another twenty or thirty years."
It’s not a problem.”
The heavy rain hit Ba Ba in the mouth.
In fact, when I first heard the news, many brothers in the town wanted to go out and make a fortune, but the eldest brother was unwilling. He felt that they were not very short of money now, and life in the town was pretty good, so there was no need to keep their heads in their pants.
It was on the belt, so it suppressed everyone.
Now it seems that it was indeed the right thing not to go.
This emperor is not generous, and the officials under him are also very stingy. To add insult to injury, their town may be destroyed afterwards.
Dayu became curious and asked: "What does the emperor look like?"
Man Bao can still answer this kind of gossip. As long as she doesn't ask questions that shouldn't be asked, she can answer them. So she said: "It's very majestic. Even when he's not angry, he's very majestic. He's convincing just by looking at him."
