Xianggui

Chapter 10 Arrival
Arrived outside the pier at the end of noon.

Ding Zhao discovered that the two women selling rattles were acting suspiciously. They shuttled through the crowd, and whenever they saw someone with a baby doll or a baby on their back, they would go up and sell them.

Not surprisingly, these two people should have been sent by people who harmed Xiangxiang.

Ding Zhao and Zhang Shi whispered a few times.Mrs. Zhang became nervous and tightened the straps that bound the child.

Ding Zhao whispered, "Don't be nervous, don't let them see anything strange."

He stretched out his hand to make the bra covering Lilac's head tighter.

A woman saw them and trotted over.With a smile on his face, he said, "Buy a snare drum, twenty cents a piece."

Ding Zhao waved his hand and said, "No, I already bought it in the capital."

The mother-in-law said again, "Fifteen cents a piece, much cheaper than in the capital city. Take a closer look at the younger ones, this snare drum is really good."

The snare drums are exquisitely made, and they cost 25 cents a piece in the capital, which is indeed cheap, and it seems unreasonable not to buy them.But what is even more unreasonable is, why is such a good snare drum so much cheaper?
Ding Zhao felt even more suspicious before, and spent money to buy drums.

The mother-in-law looked at Mrs. Zhang's back. The child was wrapped in blue coarse cloth, with only a gap on the head. The child's appearance could not be seen, and it smelled like medicine.

She smiled and said, "The child is so handsome, how old is it?"

Mrs. Zhang said with a smile, "It's been more than two months. Alas, the child has diarrhea, and it's pitiful to eat bitter soup at such a young age."

The quilt is thick, and wrapped with blue cloth, it looks like a two-month-old milk doll.

Ding Zhao handed over the copper coins and took the rattle.

The mother-in-law who found nothing unusual went elsewhere.

The husband and wife breathed a sigh of relief and went to a small noodle stall to eat noodles.Before, I wanted to ask the stall owner to help feed the cloves with hot rice soup, but now I dare not.I didn't change Lilac's diaper either, so I had to wait until the boat sailed to change it.

They were especially afraid that Dingxiang would be hungry or crying, so they patted her to comfort her from time to time.

The child was so relieved that he didn't cry until he boarded the boat.

The two women also came to the boat to sell rattles, and they didn't go down until the boat opened.

After more than two quarters of an hour, the husband and wife did not see any suspicious person, so Mrs. Zhang untied Lilac from her back.

Ding Xiang urinated twice, covered her buttocks and legs, her pants and quilt were wet, and her lower body was cold.

Ding Zhao and Zhang were very distressed.Quickly wiped his small body clean with a dry cloth, changed his clothes and pants, and clamped the urine sheet.

Zhang said, "My good boy, you have suffered."

Ding Zhao also whispered, "Xiangxiang is so obedient and smart. The bad guy is gone, just cry a few times when you feel uncomfortable."

Ding Xiang knew it was safe, she pursed her mouth and hummed a few times, which was considered coquettish.She didn't cry, luck was greater than pain.

An old lady not far away couldn't see it, she shook her head and said, "Why did you bring the baby, the baby didn't even say to change the diaper immediately after the baby was pulled. Tsk tsk, you are so pitiful."

The husband and wife did not dare to speak.

Mrs. Zhang searched all over the boat with cloves in her arms.

I really saw a woman holding a baby with a big chest.

Mrs. Zhang stepped forward and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, I lost my body after giving birth and have no milk. Can you feed my child three times a day, ten yuan each time?"

The woman was very willing to earn the money, and she smiled brightly, "Okay, I have a lot of milk, and my son can't finish it."

The man on the side was even more delighted. He never thought that he could earn money by boat.If you sit for seven or eight days, you can earn more than 200 Wen.

The woman smelled bad, and Ding Xiang felt that she hadn't bathed for several days, and the "nipple" must not be clean.Even though she was dizzy with hunger, she still turned her face away and resolutely refused to drink her milk.

Mrs. Zhang had no choice but to hug her back, and the woman gritted her teeth in anger.

Ding Zhao took a lot of money and asked the boatman to help cook rice soup.

The cloves that are full and full of food and drink are so comfortable!
The cabin was stuffy and smelled bad.

Ding Zhao and Zhang took turns holding Lilac around outside the cabin.In the afternoon, the sun was warm and the river breeze was cool. A few birds flying on the river chirped and flew over, hovering above their heads.

Ding Xiang grinned and fell into a dream again with a smile.

Most of these boats are for people without money, and they only sail during the day and dock at night to rest and provide supplies.Those who take the boat are also unwilling to go to the shore and spend money to stay in the hotel, but live directly on the boat.

Ding Zhao and Mrs. Zhang bought the seat tickets and leaned against each other to take a nap.Fearing that someone would steal the child at night, Ding Zhao wrapped Lilac in a big cloth and tied it to his chest, and hugged her tightly with both hands when he fell asleep.

In this thick embrace, Ding Xiang slept soundly and contentedly.

The weather is not very good these days. It has been raining for a few days, but the wind is not strong and there is no headwind.At the beginning of noon on the second day of September, the big ship arrived at the wharf of Linshui County smoothly.

After landing on the shore, the last bit of uneasiness in Ding Xiang's heart was blown away by the wind.

She has completely escaped from the clutches of the old witch Xun, and she is no longer the emperor's granddaughter, Princess Dongyang and the daughter of Xun's son-in-law.For many years from now on, she will farm and do business in the vast countryside as a small peasant girl, making all preparations for fighting the bad guys.

Ding Zhao hired a donkey cart to go to Beiquan Village.

There is no shed for the donkey cart, and it is warmer than the capital here, and the warm sun is very comfortable on the body.

Ding Xiang squinted her eyes slightly, and silently repeated the names of those people in the capital who were related to her and the subcontracting plans she heard.Nanny Li's hideous face appeared in front of her eyes, with a black mole the size of a mung bean on the side of her left eyebrow, her eyes staring into four white eyes...

After thinking about the bad things in the capital, he also thought about how to use the knowledge of the previous life to dig the first pot of gold in the future.

The adoptive parents are so kind, and they tried their best to bring her out of danger. Her first priority is to repay the kindness and let the family live a better life.

Ding Xiang studied fine arts in her previous life, and entered the 4 school with the No.985 grade in the city.

In fact, her culture class is very good. The reason why she has been studying art is to spend more money from her parents in retaliation.

As soon as she graduated from university, she joined a well-known studio to draw manga.She earns a lot, 30 to [-] yuan a year, which is also a high salary in the quasi-first-tier cities where she lives.

But she was exhausted. After eight years of hard work, she found out that her heart was not good. She didn't want to overdraw her life for money.

She took out 120 million of her own savings, and then tried her best to force her parents to give 15 each, and bought a small apartment of 54 square meters with all the money.She doesn't want to get married, it's enough for such a big person.

He spent more than 8 yuan to buy a famous watch as a gift to his uncle, and got her to work in the archives of a state-owned steel company in the form of talent introduction.

Before his grandfather passed away, he was the leader of that company. My uncle is now a senior executive, and my cousin also works there. My grandmother's family can be regarded as a family of steel.

Suddenly relaxed and unaccustomed, Xun Xiang didn't want to fall in love, so he found various things to do to fill up the time.Even if I don't work overtime like before, I still get used to going to bed after twelve o'clock.

One thing is that she definitely does not spend a lot of time playing mobile games like most young people in the contemporary era, thinking that it is a waste of time and life.
