The water that comes out is clear, but it will be a little cloudy when it enters the bottom of the pit, but gradually the water becomes clear, and the stones at the bottom of the pit can be seen clearly, which is different from the water that was so turbid that the bottom of the pit could not be seen just now. totally different.
A few people from Manbao: ...
They scratched their heads a little guilty, and quietly hid.
Only then did Nie Canjun remember to praise them, picking up the superior-subordinate relationship, "Master Zhou is really amazing, he really dug out the water, hahahaha..."
It was only then that Man Bao remembered that she was the chief officer, there was no need to feel guilty at all, so he came back, smiled and accepted Nie Canjun's praise, and then squatted beside him to watch the pit gradually increase and ask for clear water. Said: "Should we be stationed here?"
Nie Canjun looked around and shook his head, "Still stationed on the other side of the river ditch. There is a piece of sandy land there, which is also spacious and leeward, which is better than here."
So this can only be used as a water point, but the two sides are not very far away, and they have cars, so there is no need to worry about it.
Because the water was dug out by their own hands, all six people 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 by themselves.
Mr. Zhuang trotted over on his horse and saw their bodies covered in mud and water. He couldn't help being angry, "Hurry up and clean it up, what if you get sick?"
Man Bao pointed to the sun in the sky and said: "Sir, it's summer now, and it's hot. Let's dry it in the air, and only the trouser legs are wet, not the clothes."
Mr. Zhuang: "Do you think you are clothes rails? Let's hang them up and change them quickly."
Man Bao twitched and said frankly, "Sir, we want to take a bath."
Mr. Zhuang couldn't help but put his eyes on the puddle of water, thinking, "Maybe there is not enough firewood."
Man Bao said: "The sun is so bright, it's okay to wash in cold water, and it's fine to give Mr. Yin or boil water."
Heavy Yu took a look at them and felt that they were wasting water too much. Didn't they just have to take a bath for eleven days? It is normal for them not to take a bath for three to five months.
However, he still gave a suggestion, saying: "Pick up that hot stone on the edge of the river and put it in the water to scald it. Although it won't make the water hot, it can also make the water not so cold."
Man Bao thought it was a good idea, so they rushed to find the stones with wooden barrels, and then settled the water they collected and put them in the sun to dry.
The guards found a place to set up a bathing place for them. Not only them, but even Nie Canjun and the soldiers couldn't help scratching their backs. Seeing that the water in the puddle was still bubbling out, they simply took a bath. Get water to clean yourself.
In order to make it come out faster, Nie Canjun also removed the other two stones, and three springs in the puddle burst out.
When the moon was bright and the stars were thin, all the people had finished washing. Man Bao tied up his dry hair, smelled the fragrance, and then jumped out of the carriage and ran towards the fire.
Mr. Zhuang and the others were sitting around a fire, and Mrs. He was baking pancakes for them by the fire. The fragrance that Man Bao could smell came from the pancakes.
Bai Shan was faster than her. When he saw her coming, he split the cake in his hand and gave her half. Man Bao took it, sat down next to him, looked around and asked, "Bai Er Are they alright?"
"Good morning, let's go to the puddle to see the scenery."
Man Bao took a bite of the cake, and a little meat was added to the cake, which was delicious and crunchy. She was overjoyed and asked, "Have you filled up all the water you need?"
Bai Shan nodded, "The heavy rain said that we can go to Lop Nur in two or three days. There is not only water, but also towns. We can rest there for a whole day and replenish some water."
Man Bao, who was thinking about going to collect some water at night, immediately dismissed the idea, looked at the heavy rain opposite and asked, "What town is there?"
Da Yu lazily said: "What kind of city is it? It's just a group of people living together. It doesn't even have a name. However, there used to be an ancient city in the north, but now there are only dilapidated houses and walls, and the waterway has changed. Everyone built a house on the other side, but the road to the Western Regions passes through there. In the past few years, more people have passed there, and more people live there. It is the best for us to buy dry rice and noodles. place."
He has been to the Western Regions a few times, all of which were escorting caravans, so he is familiar with the route, "However, we can walk along the river for a few days when we get there, and we can meet water and people more or less. It is a grassland. So it will be a little easier, and I will enter the desert after that period.”
He said: "That is the last desert. After passing it, there will be a large grassland. There are still 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 route in his mind, and exclaimed in his heart, "It's so far away, His Majesty really sent troops from thousands of miles to destroy Gaochang Kingdom."
Bai Shandao: "The soldiers and horses were dispatched from all over Xiazhou, Hou Ji only brought some soldiers and horses from the capital, not all of them set out from the capital."
"That's too far away."
Bai Shan smiled, Gao Changguo had provoked and neglected the Great Jin several times, and the Turkic forces stood behind him, if His Majesty did not act intimidating, there would be no peace for the entire Northland.
Didn't you see that after the Gaochang Kingdom was destroyed, whether it was the remaining forces of the Turks or the Huihe and Tubo sides, they were much more honest
This time, it was rumored that the emperor was not good enough to cause such confusion. When His Majesty's order is issued, there will be few people who dare to take the lead.
Heavy Rain couldn't help looking at them, he was really curious, so he couldn't help asking, "Is His Majesty the Emperor really all right?"
Man Bao glanced at him and said, "What can he do?"
She said: "There are not many people in the capital who are sick, but the people in Xiazhou who get sick the most. The emperor still lives in the palace, and smallpox can't enter the palace at all. Don't worry, he's on the mend. It looks like he'll live another twenty or thirty years." It's not a problem."
The heavy rain hit it on the mouth.
In fact, when I first heard the news, many brothers in the small town wanted to go out and make a fortune, but the eldest brother was unwilling, thinking that they are not very short of money now, and life in the small town is good, so there is no need to stick their heads in their pants. on the belt, so it suppressed everyone.
Now it seems that it is right not to go.
This emperor is not generous, and the officials under him are also very stingy. At this time, if they make trouble, maybe their town will be flattened afterwards.
Da Yu 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, so she said: "It's very powerful, even when it's not angry, it's very dignified, and it's convincing to look at."
Nie Canjun couldn't help but look at her.
