After being replaced, she changed from a miserable daughter-in-law to a lucky wife

Chapter 451 Desert

When Xia Wanniang got tired of riding in the carriage, she would get off and ride on horseback for a while.

The children were still young and no one dared to let them ride horses alone.

Lai Fu sat on the horse in front of Xia Wanniang, feeling the wind blowing through his fur, which made his little fox face a little deformed.

The soldiers found that Xia Wanniang was not in a hurry to go to the North City. She would walk and stop on the road. When passing by villages and river banks, she would stop to look around.

They initially thought she was just sightseeing, but because of her status, they didn't dare to ask.

Gu Man saw her at a river bank, talking to a few children: "Madam, what's fun here?"

Xiao Zilin turned his head and looked at him: "Uncle Xiaoman, you don't think that mother is playing with us, do you?"

Gu Man scratched his head: "Isn't it?"

Xiao Zisen rolled his eyes: "My mother doesn't have that much time to take us out to play. She was telling us that although this river bank is flooded all year round, as long as the river bank is well built, it will become a very good rice field. The land here is very fertile."

Gu Man ran over in surprise, squatted down and began to check. He pulled away the weeds and saw the black soil underneath: "It really is."

Xia Wanniang looked at the children and asked, "Have you memorized everything here?"

The three children nodded vigorously: "Remember."

Gu Man quickly caught up with her and said, "Madam, did you also check their land when you passed by the village before?"

Xia Wanniang smiled and nodded: "I was asking about their harvests in previous years, but they were very wary of us, as if they were afraid that we would rob them. But to be honest, the soil is not as good as here."

I don’t know what Gu Man said to everyone, but when they stopped again, no one had any questions.

Xia Wanniang slowed down her journey. The Northwest has a vast terrain, with forests, deserts, and grasslands, each of which has become a unique landscape.

Xiao Zimu: "Mom, does it rarely rain here?"

Xia Wanniang nodded: "This place is far away from the ocean, and there is little rainfall all year round, so it is very important to protect the environment, otherwise it will be like the desert you saw before."

Xiao Zisen: "Mom, is there anyone living in the desert?"

Xia Wanniang: "Yes. There are oases in the desert, and people live there. They are used to the desert environment."

A group of soldiers discovered that their general's wife seemed to know a lot, even these things. As they traveled with her, their knowledge points continued to increase.

Gu Man: "There are people living in this kind of environment? I really want to see how they live."

Xia Wanniang looked at him with a smile and said, "The desert is very dangerous. Don't set foot in it rashly."

A soldier came over and asked: "Madam, what dangers are there in the desert?"

Seeing that they were all curious, Xia Wanniang told them a little bit: "There are quicksands in the desert in places you don't know about, similar to the swamps in the forest. If you are not careful, you will fall into it and it will be difficult to get out."

Xiao Zisen looked at her curiously: "What else?"

Xia Wanniang touched his head and said, "Besides the poisonous snakes and scorpions you know about, there is also a lack of water, sandstorms, and a huge temperature difference between day and night. In the desert, it is easy for you to get lost."

A group of soldiers got goosebumps after hearing this. It was really not easy to get out after going in.

When they reached a barren mountain with a view of the desert, they set up camp.

Xia Wanniang climbed to the top of the mountain with a few children. It was sunset, and they sat here looking at the desert in front of them covered in gold.

In the distance, you can see a group of people walking in the desert, and you can almost hear the sound of camel bells.

Xiao Zimu pulled her sleeve and said, "Mom, what are those?"

Xia Wanniang looked at the place he pointed at and said, "That's a camel. It's also called the ship of the desert. We really need it in the desert."

Xiao Zilin also saw them and said, "They look so weird."

Xiao Zisen: "Mom, can't we go riding horses in the desert?"

Xia Wanniang smiled at him and said, "That won't work. They can't stand hunger or thirst like camels do. Camels are not afraid of wind and sand, are good at walking in the desert, and have a gentle personality. They are indispensable if you want to enter the desert."

"gorgeous!"
