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

Chapter 386 Is the River Safe?

Xia Wanniang woke up when she heard the "cooing" sound, but she didn't get up or open her eyes to look up.

When Lai Fu ran over, he saw that she had woken up: Huihui said it was not safe ahead.

Xia Wanniang sat up from the bed, walked barefoot to the window and got Huihui his favorite food: "What happened?"

As soon as Huihui saw the food, he jumped out of the window and landed on the table, happily eating the mealworms on the plate, making happy "cuckoo" sounds.

Lai Fu ran to the table and sat down: He said that when he passed by, he saw many dead bodies in the river, but he did not find anyone else.

Xia Wanniang reached out and touched Huihui's small body: "Are there any other boats?"

Lai Fu looked at Hui Hui, as if asking a question.

Huihui blinked as if thinking, then shook his head.

Xia Wanniang knew what it meant without Lai Fu translating.

She sat on a stool next to the table, took out the tea set from the space and made herself a cup of tea. The faint fragrance of tea filled the cabin.

No ships, but lots of bodies?

"Gray, what kind of clothes are these corpses wearing? Are they men or women? How old are they?"

Huihui was confused by her series of questions and was stunned for several seconds before finally talking to Lai Fu.

Lai Fu: The clothes they were wearing were made of coarse cloth and silk, and some were naked. There were both men and women, young and old.

Xia Wanniang drank a few cups of tea to sober herself up a lot. She got up, put on her clothes and shoes, and went to look for Qingfeng and Yunhe.

Yunhe and Qingfeng were both stunned when they saw her. This person really knew how to find time. They had just finished their morning class and she showed up on time.

"Chai Song, go and invite Xu Li, Yi Feng, Ban Yan and Yao Jiang over." Xia Wanniang looked at the two people in the room and instructed the people outside.

Chai Song went there immediately to ask for help.

Yun He noticed that her expression was a little strange: "What happened?"

Xia Wanniang sat on the stool next to them and said, "Let's talk about it after they come, so I don't have to say it again later." After that, she poured herself a cup of tea.

Soon the other people had arrived, but they all sat on the stools with a puzzled look on their faces.

Xu Li looked at them and asked, "What's the matter that requires us to come here so urgently?"

Qingfeng pointed at Xia Wanniang, indicating that it was she who called everyone over.

Xia Wanniang looked at Yao Jiang and said, "Brother Yao, is it safe to travel along this river?"

Yao Jiang was stunned by the question, not quite understanding why she asked this suddenly, but he still answered truthfully: "This river is the main river transportation route of Daxia. There are usually many ships passing by. It's just that there are fewer ships in winter. After all, no one wants to go out in the cold weather."

He thought for a moment and added, "When it snows, the rivers in colder places will freeze, so there are basically few ships using the river at this time. Even if the price you offered was not high this time, we would not dare to take the risk of river transportation."

Xia Wanniang: "How far is it from the nearest pier?"

Yao Jiang: "It will take another seven or eight days."

Qingfeng seemed to have noticed something different: "Is the river unsafe now?"

Xia Wanniang looked at Qingfeng and nodded: "It's indeed not very safe, but if the nearest dock takes seven or eight days, I think it can't be avoided."

Xu Li: "How could it be dangerous?"

Qingfeng looked at Xu Li and said, "If there were more ships on this river during normal times, it would be relatively safe. But now that winter has arrived, there are fewer ships on the river, which has given rise to some crooked ideas."

Yun He frowned: "Water bandits?"

Yao Jiang turned pale when he heard this: "No, that's impossible! There haven't been any pirates in this river for a long time."

Xia Wanniang: "Brother Yao, don't be nervous. Maybe I'm worrying too much."

Yao Jiang nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, yes, maybe you are worrying too much. You think there are fewer ships sailing on this river recently, so you feel it is dangerous."

Xia Wanniang smiled and nodded: "Well, if there is nothing else, Brother Yao can go and do his work first."

Seeing that they all looked relaxed, Yao Jiang just pretended that nothing had happened and got up and left the cabin.
