Chapter 35 Return to Dawei
The old clan leader was shocked. The people in front of him were really demons! Otherwise, why could he see through the lies of his and others repeatedly?
After looking at Chen Chu's threatening eyes, the old patriarch didn't even dare to look directly at the other party!
He did not dare to take the lives of the entire clan to bet, so he could only lead the way honestly.
According to the old patriarch, if they had to go all out, it would take seven or eight days to return to the nearest Northern Wei territory.
Chen Chu calculated that he had brought with him drinking water. The dry food was enough. If he had water, it would be fine if he had saved some water.
As for the horses, Chen Chu calculated that it was almost the same for five or six days, and it was more than enough to feed them less than seven or eight days a day!
Mulan had a feeling of surviving the disaster on her face: "Old Chen, I thought we were all going to die before, but I didn't expect that the dead tree would come to spring and encountered a water source for a limited time. Now I can go back!"
"Hahaha!" Chen Chu laughed loudly. This is called the road of no one!
The old patriarch heard everyone laughing, his heart was filled with bitterness. His handful of old bones were explained here, hoping that the devil would release himself back after he arrived at his destination?
It’s impossible to think about it!
He just wants to die happily.
As long as the tribes can survive
The group of people and four horses galloped in the desert. Chen Chu naturally rode the best with Mulan. He was still rushing fast at first, but later the old patriarch seemed to be a little unbearable. Chen Chu thought about it and decided to change the number of rest every day from three to four, and the time to sleep at night was extended by about half an hour.
Except for Mulan, the others complained a little, but due to Chen Chu's decision, they said nothing.
After rushing for six days like this, the old patriarch's face became worse and worse, and it seemed that it was no longer possible.
During the afternoon break, Chen Chu threw his water directly to the old patriarch: "Drink, drink more."
The water contained in the sheepskin bag becomes hot after exposure to the sun, but for a person who is in urgent need of water, it is no less than the rain from the sky.
The old patriarch held the water bag and looked at Chen Chu hesitantly.
"What do you think, just drink it if you let me drink it!" Chen Chu said angrily.
The old patriarch said one thing, he was going to die anyway, so drink it!
So he drank all the remaining one-quarter of the water in one breath.
The soldiers who saw it were angry, but Chen Chu waved his hand and said, "It's okay, there's only one day left anyway, just drink it!"
The next day, the seventh day after they came out of the Rouran tribe, the horses were almost out of reach and rushed on their way, especially in the severely dehydrated and exposed desert. Even if food can be supplied, it is impossible to drink too much water.
But even so, Chen Chu still rushes.
Finally, the yellow sand in front of him gradually decreased, and wheat crops began to appear on both sides. Chen Chu knew that he was finally back!
After staying in the desert for nearly a month, they finally came back!
The faces of the few people were black and red, covered with yellow sand, and their hair was stuck together. If they weren't for looking at their black sabers and sharp eyes, they would have been considered beggars.
They first arrived at a village, revealed their identity, and asked the elderly nearby how to walk to the nearby government.
Then he went straight to the government.
After showing his waist card to the other party, the other party welcomed them in first, asked about the past, and then placed them in the inn.
But I was still worried and asked my subordinates to take care of them. If these people picked up their waist cards and pretended to be liked, they must take them as soon as possible!
But that's just if, if there were two generals among these people, he would never be able to mess with him.
Chen Chu knew the other party's actions, but he didn't care at all. The group of people lived in the inn like this.
He told the old patriarch not to speak no matter who came. After seeing the old patriarch agreeing, Chen Chu asked the postman to call a doctor, and prescribed a few medicines for Chen Chu and several others on credit, and then showed it to the old patriarch, and then let the other party leave.
Back on the territory of the Great Wei Dynasty, what they want to do most now is to sleep and take a bath.
After the doctor left, they asked the postmen to get some hot water. Everyone washed it hard. Chen Chu also ran to the other people's room and asked the soldiers to rub their backs.
They just kept busy until the evening before they cleaned themselves up.
The postmen reported their actions to the county magistrate in detail, and the county magistrate just waved his hand: "As long as the request is not excessive, we will give whatever they want!"
"But sir, that expense"
"What kind of money is it? Have you never heard of Chen Chu and Hua Mulan? If it were these two, you would ask them for money!" The county magistrate said impatiently. He didn't know whether this surname is a blessing or a disaster for him now, "But if they pretended to be a hum!"
I just lived here for about ten days. During these ten days, Chen Chu and the others did not make excessive requests, basically, they were to eat and sleep.
Anyway, Chen Chu and the others had no requirements, and the county magistrate did not spread the news about their arrival, so that if it was a credit, he could take it alone.
At noon on the tenth day, a postman suddenly came to knock on the door.
"Sir, someone is coming from Huaishuo Town!" Now it's in the government.
Chen Chu waited for ten days and finally came!
"Who is here?" Chen Chu asked.
"The officials don't know each other, but they seem to be an adult. I heard they say it seems to be a baggage camp or something."
"Hou Chun?" Mulan spit out a name
"Let's go, take me over." Chen Chu said.
In the government office.
"Sir!" It was Hou Chun coming! "Sir, you are finally back! You have disappeared for more than a month, and everyone thinks you have died in the desert!"
After saying that, he looked behind Chen Chu: "Where is General Iron?"
Suddenly speaking of this name, Chen Chu's original joy disappeared and his expression became depressed: "General Iron is dead."
"Dead?" Hou Chun was stunned when he was struck by lightning, and he was stunned for a long time and was unwilling to believe it.
General Iron is so brave and good at fighting, but he actually died like this?
When he saw that the atmosphere was a little depressed, and Chen Chu actually knew the people in Huaishuo Town, so the identities of a few people were about to emerge.
"General Chen, General Hua, and General Tie also sacrificed their lives for the country. Today, several adults gathered together. Why not go to the best restaurant in the county and let me have a good banquet for you all," said the county magistrate.
It is true that life and death are in heaven, and this sentence is more applicable on the battlefield.
I don’t know how many people around me died, but General Iron’s death was still a very big blow to them.
Fortunately, Hou Chun also reacted quickly and quickly said to the county magistrate: "That's a blessing, but this is my request. I also have to thank you for your care for General Chen during this period."
"I dare not." The county magistrate wiped a cold sweat. He sent someone to monitor the adults for ten days. However, seeing that Chen Chu had no intention of blame, he quickly said humbly: "It is my blessing to be able to sit with several adults. I must invite this."
Seeing this, Hou Chun stopped giving in.
Too much push will make people misunderstand. Chen Chu and Mulan's reputation is well-known throughout the country, and they always have to give others a chance to show their performance.
In the afternoon, Chen Chu refused the county magistrate's request to keep them for another night. He sent some rewards to the postmen who delivered food and fetched water to them these days. He arranged for the old patriarch, gave him enough food and water, and gave him another horse, and let the other party leave.
Until he returned to the desert, the old patriarch felt as if he was dreaming.
