Chapter 397 Sleigh
Chapter 397 Sleigh
A group of people came to see the reindeer coming out of the woods, and they were all a little confused about what was going on.
Aunt Xiao walked up to Xia Wanniang and said, "Wanniang, what is this?"
Xia Wanniang introduced them to her with a smile: "Mom, these are reindeer, and they are pulling a sled."
The Mohais and their friends had never seen reindeer before, and out of curiosity they wanted to go up and take a look.
When the reindeer saw them, they retreated in fear, fearing that they would be bitten by them.
Xia Wanniang patted the heads of Mohui and the others and said, "These are companions, not food for you to eat."
The black-and-black cats stopped approaching and just looked at the reindeer curiously.
Xia Wanniang calmed the reindeer down.
When the reindeer saw that the black-black ones did not seem to be planning to attack, they bravely walked out.
Xia Wanniang asked everyone to separate their belongings, and then two people shared a sled. Because the wind and snow on the road would be too strong, the sleds were equipped with windproof blankets, which made it much warmer to sit on.
She took her three sons and Lai Fu to sit in the first sled, and Aunt Xiao followed behind with the other three children.
The others sat on the sleds in pairs.
Xia Wanniang told them how to drive the sled, but with Lai Fu and Tou Lu around, she didn't have to worry about getting lost.
After everyone was seated, she checked again and asked Lai Fu to ask about the weight the reindeer were pulling. Only after making sure that they were okay did she set off.
Everyone was very excited, this was something they had never experienced before.
Reindeer don’t walk very fast, and they won’t pull you into the air like sled dogs. They are relatively stable and suitable for people of all ages to ride.
The children were extremely curious about this. It was the first time they experienced what a sled was like and that they would not be unable to move forward because of the thick snow.
They also met some civilians on the way. They were stunned when they saw their team of sleds. They had never seen such strange things before.
The key issue is that they can walk on the snow as if it were flat ground, their speed is not slow at all, and the reindeer do not feel tired when pulling them.
Xiao Zimu's three children huddled in windproof quilts, wearing hats and windproof glasses, which were given to each of them by Xia Wanniang.
Looking at the snow for too long will hurt your eyes, so everyone behind you is wearing the same equipment.
Lai Fu and Mo Hui sometimes felt annoyed that the reindeer were pulling too slowly, so they jumped off and ran in the snow.
However, when they encountered thick snow, they were completely invisible, which made everyone on the sled laugh.
After they left Lincheng, they hardly met anyone and could only see endless white snow.
Xiao Zilin nestled beside Xia Wanniang and said, "Mom, can the sled only be pulled by reindeer?"
Xia Wanniang shook her head. "No, there are also dog sleds, which are much faster than reindeer sleds. Forest horses can also pull sleds, but they are not as cold-resistant as reindeer."
Xiao Zimu turned to look at her: "Dogs can also pull sleds?"
Xia Wanniang: "Yes, there is a kind of dog called sled dogs. They have thick fur and plenty of energy. Pulling a sled can release their energy. Otherwise, they would tear your house apart."
"I wonder if we can meet him." Xiao Zisen was a little looking forward to it.
Xia Wanniang pulled their hats and said, "I think we'll see it if we get a chance. It's a pretty interesting dog, even though its brain isn't very good."
"Ah! Aren't they smart?" Xiao Zimu looked at her in surprise.
Xiao Zilin: "Aren't dogs supposed to be smart?"
Xia Wanniang looked at them with a smile: "Not all dogs are smart. They are silly and cute. They look fierce, but they are actually very cute."
She thought for a moment and a book appeared in her hand. She placed the book in front of them and pointed to the sled dogs on it and said to them: "Look, these are the dogs of the Three Silly Sled Dogs."
Several children came over to take a look and were stunned: "They are so beautiful, but are they really that stupid?"
Xia Wanniang: "That's right, but if there is a wide enough space for them to run, they are also very cute little guys."
Xiao Zilin pointed to a picture in the book and asked, "Mom, what is this?"
Xia Wanniang looked down at what he was pointing at and said, "This is an ice house, built with ice blocks."
