Chapter 655 Oasis
Chapter 655 Oasis
Xiao Zilin looked at his brother and asked, "Are you planning to have someone do an archaeological study on you?"
"That's not bad either. I'll see if I can leave my name through the ages. Maybe I'll even be admired by future generations!" Xiao Zisen smiled with his eyes curved.
Xia Wanniang smiled helplessly as she listened to their conversation, but she felt it seemed quite interesting.
The camel carried them towards the oasis.
The oasis here is not big, there is a clear spring in the middle, it looks very clean.
Here they also met some people who were wrapped tightly. They came to the oasis to fetch water. They were stunned when they saw Xia Wanniang and the others.
Xia Wanniang had no intention of talking to them. She just nodded at them from a distance and walked away with the children.
After observing Xia Wanniang and the others, these people didn't say anything. They just fetched some water, took out some food and sat aside to eat.
Camels were around them.
When Xia Wanniang saw that the two little ones, Xibao and Xile, were not talking, she knew that they were probably chatting with animals, but she didn't know who they were talking to.
Yunshan and Mo Zi observed the crowd opposite, among whom there were both men and women.
Xia Wanniang was also looking at the people opposite her. They all wrapped themselves in large scarves, with only a pair of eyes exposed.
They didn't even show their faces when eating, which made her feel very strange.
But this might be their living habit, and she had no intention of finding out.
She pinched Lai Fu's little ear and said, "Pay attention to the person opposite you."
Lai Fu moved his little ears: You suspect there is something wrong with them.
"It's not a bad thing to be more careful when you go out." Xia Wanniang spoke quietly, just loudly enough for the children around her to hear.
The children are all smart. Although they follow Xia Wanniang most of the time, they all know that people's hearts are hidden.
Sometimes people who look kind and harmless may be the most likely to stab you in the back at the critical moment.
Xia Wanniang brought them food. In order not to arouse suspicion from the people on the other side, she did not take out anything special. She just took a few dry cakes like them.
He also pretended to fetch some spring water, but when he turned his back to them, he replaced it with water from the space.
The children ate biscuits and drank water, occasionally chatting about the plants in the oasis. They also saw quite a few lizards.
There are a lot of snakes and scorpions in the desert, but I don’t know if it’s because of Xibao and Xile, but they never bothered them along the way.
As soon as he saw them, he turned around and left, as if he didn't even want to see them.
The night sky in the desert is very beautiful. They leaned on the camels and looked at the stars in the sky.
A fire had been lit opposite and we all sat around it.
Xia Wanniang and the others did not light a fire: "Do you remember the stars I taught you to look at before?"
Xiao Zilin and the others naturally remembered: "I remember."
"Find out where the Big Dipper is." Xia Wanniang looked up at the sky.
Xi Bao raised her little head: "Mom, why didn't you teach me?"
Xile: “Well, they didn’t teach me either.”
Xia Wanniang smiled and told them what she had told Zilin and the others before.
Xiao Zisen pointed to a place above and said, "Isn't that the Big Dipper?"
Xia Wanniang looked up and said, "Yes."
Xibao: "Like a little spoon."
Xia Wanniang: "It can not only identify directions, but also distinguish spring, summer, autumn and winter."
Xiao Zilin: "Mom, you didn't tell us before that we can distinguish spring, summer, autumn and winter!"
Xia Wanniang was slightly stunned: "Didn't you say that?"
Several children nodded in unison.
Xia Wanniang: "Then it's the same as what I'm saying to you now. If the handle of your dipper points to the east, it's spring everywhere. If it points to the south, it's summer everywhere. If it points to the west, it's autumn everywhere. If it points to the north, it's winter everywhere."
"But its location doesn't look like the east!" Yunshan observed it carefully.
Mo Zi: "Is it the transition between spring and summer?"
Xia Wanniang smiled and nodded: "That's right. Now that we're talking about directions, let's talk about other things. Do you know how to tell where you are?"
Xiao Zilin: "We have read about it in books. This is not difficult for us."
