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

Chapter 391 There is no way to avoid

Xia Wanniang looked at them still wearing clothes soaked with sweat, frowned slightly, stood up, took clean clothes, sat beside the bed, and changed them into dry clothes.

"It's nothing, we just encountered some pirates, but we've resolved it now." After she said that, she reached out and touched the foreheads of several children, the temperature had now subsided.

He let the children lie down and pulled the quilt for them: "Go to sleep, I'll accompany you."

Xiao Zimu bit his lips gently. He could tell that Xia Wanniang said it easily: "Mom."

Xia Wanniang lay on her side beside them and raised her hand to touch his head: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Zimu: "Are there often pirates along this river?"

Xia Wanniang stroked his little face with her thumb from time to time: "No, it may be that the weather is cold and there are fewer boats. They think that no one is watching over them, so they want to rob any passing boats."

Xiao Zilin looked at her sideways: "Mom, what would happen if it were any other ordinary citizen?"

Xia Wanniang was slightly stunned, but she did not hide it from them: "He will die."

Several children fell silent. They had seen death before, and they still remembered the tragic scene when the bandits entered the city of Los Angeles.

Xia Wanniang sighed: "In this world, people die every day, but some die of old age, some die in accidents, and some die violently."

Xiao Zisen: "Is there no way to avoid this untimely death?"

Xia Wanniang looked at him with some surprise: "There is no way. Whether it is Da Xia or other places, all kinds of things will happen. Natural disasters and man-made disasters are always unexpected. We can only be forced to accept them."

Xuan Qing looked at her: "Madam, natural disasters are unavoidable, but what about man-made disasters?"

Xia Wanniang turned to look at Xuan Qing: "This is a good question. Let's talk about war. For example, if Daxia becomes so powerful that no one can defeat it, even if others want to start a war, they will have to think twice."

Mo Zi propped up half of his body and looked at her: "What if it's a plague?"

Xia Wanniang looked at the thirst for knowledge in his eyes and said, "Then work hard to study medicine and don't keep it to yourself. Only when more people learn medicine and pass it on, can we find more treatment methods."

Yunshan scratched his sweaty hair and said, "Madam, is there no way to save the natural disasters like drought or floods?"

Xia Wanniang: "We can only take precautions. For example, if we have enough food in stock, we can still feed the people during droughts, which can prevent many deaths. Floods require building river embankments, reservoirs, drainage measures, etc. in advance."

She thought for a moment and continued, "In fact, building reservoirs and dams also has its benefits. During droughts, the gates can be opened to release water, and during floods, it can prevent flooding."

Qingfeng and Xu Li originally wanted to ask whether she should continue on her journey or take a rest, but they ended up hearing her conversation with the child.

The two of them simply didn't bother him and just sat at the door and listened. All of this was quite unfamiliar to them, but they felt it made sense.

Xia Wanniang waited until the children fell asleep. When she opened the door, she saw two people sitting on the ground. She raised her eyebrows slightly.

The two men looked at the children sleeping in the cabin and pointed out the location of the nail plate to her.

When Xia Wanniang came out, everyone was still on the deck cleaning the blood stains on the boat, but the smell was really not that pleasant.

She took out a bag of laundry detergent from her bag, poured it on the deck, and asked them to fetch water for washing, which helped to dissipate a lot of the smell.

Yao Jiang and the others have finally recovered. Even though they are still scared when they think about it now, they finally got through it safely.

He recalled what Xia Wanniang had asked him some time ago: "Madam Xiao, did you know about the pirates a long time ago?"

Xia Wanniang shook her head: "I don't know, I just saw that there were very few boats on the river, so I asked out of curiosity."

Although Yao Jiang looked puzzled, he saw that she didn't seem to be lying, so he didn't ask any more questions: "Are we going to travel overnight?"

Xia Wanniang glanced at Huihui and Haidongqing who had returned, and did not answer directly.
