Chapter 394 Situation outside the city
Xia Wanniang nodded and said, "I know. I'm mainly going to check the snow conditions outside the city. It's easy for a carriage to get stuck in the snow. Even if we can rent a carriage, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to move."
Xu Li looked at the streets and saw that someone was sweeping them every day, so they couldn't see anything. However, no one was sweeping the roads outside.
"I'll go with you to see what the situation is. We can come back and discuss it later."
Xia Wanniang did not refuse, and the two of them walked out of the city one after the other.
When the soldiers guarding the city saw the two men, they just glanced at them and continued to stand upright.
Xia Wanniang looked at the soldiers' exposed fingers, which were all covered with frostbite and looked a little scary, but they still stood straight.
Xu Li didn't know what she was looking at: "What's wrong?"
Xia Wanniang didn't say anything, but walked out of the city. When they walked for a distance, they could see that the official road was covered with snow.
There were some tire tracks in some places, which had compacted the snow, making it easy to slip when walking on it.
After Xu Li took two steps, he began to lose his balance and fell directly to the ground. Fortunately, he was wearing thick clothes so it didn't hurt that much, otherwise it would have been very painful for him.
Xia Wanniang chose a place with snow, and there was a constant "crunching" sound when she walked on it. She looked at the thickness of the snow, and it was already above her calves.
She looked into the distance and saw no carriages or pedestrians. Occasionally she could see one or two people hurrying towards a place with their necks hunched and heads lowered.
Xu Li finally got up from the ground, and he didn't dare to walk on the compacted ground: "I'm afraid we can't drive a carriage on this road, it's too slippery, and something might happen."
Xia Wanniang nodded: "Let's go, go back first."
Xu Li followed her: "What should we do then?"
Xia Wanniang: "Let's talk about it when we get back."
She already had a plan in mind. There was only one way out in this situation: sledding.
Chai Song saw them coming back and came over: "Young Madam, you would not go out at this time without a carriage, and the road to Maocheng is not easy to travel."
Xia Wanniang nodded: "I understand. You've worked hard. Let me take you to rest first."
Xu Li watched Chai Song leave: "What should we do? Let's walk."
Xia Wanniang shook her head and said, "Let me think of a solution." Then she went back into the house.
Lai Fu and the others were sitting around the charcoal brazier, unwilling to move. When they saw her coming back, they just raised their eyelids to look at her and then put them down.
Xia Wanniang walked over to them and squatted down: "Laifu, let Huihui and the others help me."
Lai Fu opened his eyes and sat up: What do you want them to do?
"Let them help me look for reindeer in the nearby mountains and forests. I want them to help me pull the cart. They can set any conditions." Xia Wanniang was thinking about this when she came back.
Lai Fu looked at her in surprise: You really dare to think so. Can you let reindeer pull a cart for you?
Xia Wanniang: "It's not a carriage, it's a sled. It's very powerful, and it's the only one that can handle the snow."
Lai Fu looked incredulous, but he still went to communicate with Huihui and the others beside him.
Gray and gray's eyes are all saying, are you serious?
Xia Wanniang nodded.
Lai Fu turned to look at her: They said they would try their best to look for it, but they didn’t know whether the animal you mentioned existed.
Xia Wanniang suddenly thought that they might not know reindeer, so she took out a photo of a reindeer and showed it to them: "This is a reindeer."
The Saker Falcons came closer to take a look. To be honest, in such cold weather, they really didn't want to move. If it weren't for the good food provided by Xia Wanniang, they would have given up long ago.
After they left, she looked at the black-and-black sleds and said, "Compared to looking for the three idiots pulling the sled, it might be easier to find reindeer. I just don't know if wolves can pull the sled."
Mohui and the others sensed a lot of malice and looked at her warily.
Xia Wanniang looked at the few wolves and decided to give up the idea. If she found a group of wolves to pull the sled, she was afraid that they would not be able to enter the next town.
Although they didn't have to go in, it was still too cold to live outside. Who would want to sleep in the snow when they could live in the house?
"Knock knock knock" there was a knock on the door.
