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

Chapter 388 What’s going on?

Xia Wanniang turned to look at Chai Song and said, "Go ask Brother Yao, if we miss this pier, how long will it take to reach the next one at the current speed?"

Chai Song immediately went to look for someone.

When they arrived at the pier, it was full of boats, but the boatmen had already left their boats. It was not a wise choice to spend the winter on a boat in such cold weather.

They just chose to buy some river water to eat here and left the dock.

Chai Song came back soon: "He said that if there is no delay on the road, it will take half a month to reach the next dock, which is also the last dock. After that, the river will probably be frozen."

Xia Wanniang nodded and looked at Qingfeng and the others: "What are your opinions?"

Qingfeng: "We have to go a long way by carriage, and with the snow, it may take one and a half months to reach the next city, not counting the time wasted on the road."

Xu Li: "Let's take a gamble and go by water to the next town where we can change carriages. This is the safest way. This way we will be closer to Maocheng."

Porphyry nodded: "This way, even if we are delayed on the way, we can still reach Maocheng before the beginning of spring."

Xia Wanniang: "Then let's take the water route and take a gamble. I have a feeling this winter will not be peaceful."

She always had an uneasy feeling and hoped that she was just overthinking it.

Everyone looked very solemn and could only ask Yao Jiang to speed up the boat.

Yao Jiang originally wanted to stop at this pier, but this pier was not a big city after all, and there was no room for ships here, so he could only go to the next pier.

After walking in such fear for ten days, there were some small pieces of ice on the surface of the river.

Looking at the speed at which the river was freezing, they thought they should be able to reach the next dock in five days.

"Young Madam, the Third Young Master and the others don't seem to be feeling well." Chai Song knocked on the door of Xia Wanniang's cabin at night.

Xia Wanniang got up immediately, put on some clothes and opened the door: "What's going on?"

"The children didn't look very well today. I thought they stayed on the boat for too long. I went to check on them again in the evening and found that they had a fever and looked sick." Chai Song said to her as they walked.

Xia Wanniang walked into the children's room and found that the charcoal basin in their room had been extinguished, but the window was open a crack for ventilation: "Chai Song, light the charcoal basin."

Chai Song immediately went to light the charcoal basin, but it didn't burn for long before the basin went out again: "Madam, these charcoals are damp and can't be lit."

Xia Wanniang no longer cared about the charcoal basin and checked on the children.

She reached out and touched their foreheads, which were a little hot.

Several children woke up at this time, and their voices were all tired: "Mom."

Xia Wanniang took their wrists and felt their pulses. They must have caught a cold and had a slight fever because the charcoal basin went out the night before. "It's okay, just a slight fever. I'll get you some medicine later. You'll be fine after a good sleep."

The noise here still woke up Aunt Xiao, Qiu He and the others, and they all came to the cabin.

Xia Wanniang asked Qiuhe and Zhuyao to prepare hot water. The children were now feeling hot and cold, and their little faces were red.

She took out the children's antipyretic medicine from the space and asked Aunt Xiao and others to help the children drink it. She also took out the antipyretic patch and put it on their heads.

Everyone worked for most of the night, and the children were sweating, which finally brought the temperature down.

Qiu He and Zhu Yao fetched more hot water. As soon as they walked in with the basin, there was a "bang" and the boat shook violently.

The two men lost their balance and fell to the ground with the basin, their clothes being soaked by water.

"What's going on?" Aunt Xiao looked unhappy.

Xia Wanniang heard the boatman shouting, "Mom, you all stay in this room and don't go out." After saying that, he walked out first.

Qingfeng just came out of the cabin and was puzzled when he saw her: "What's wrong?"

Xia Wanniang: "Let's go to Zimu and the others' room first." After saying that, she ran towards the deck.

Qingfeng did not dare to delay and entered Xiao Zimu and the others' room, only to see that there were quite a few people there.

Aunt Xiao saw that it was Qingfeng: "Xiaofeng, what's going on?"

Qingfeng had some guesses in his mind, but he didn't know the details yet: "I don't know either."

When Xia Wanniang arrived on the deck, she saw Yun He saving a boatman: "Find a place to hide and don't come out."
