Xianggui

Chapter 8

Mrs. Zhang hugged Ding Xiang into her arms, looking for the place where the child was hidden.He muttered with trembling voice, "Xiangxiang is good, don't cry..."

Ding Zhao went out and closed the bedroom door and the upper door.

Later, Ding Zhao came back happily.

"It's the second brother Li from the last alley. His boil has healed, and he gave me fifty cash as a thank you gift."

Ding Zhao has learned how to pull out boils during the year of making medicine.

He is diligent, active, sweet-mouthed, and especially loves to help.Whether it is his job or not, he will help as long as someone calls.Of course, he helped the old doctor the most, including things in the clinic and rough work at home.

Mrs. Zhang also goes to Fang's house every other month to wash the quilts and sheets for his house.The thinking of the two of them is very simple. They have no money, so they can only repay their kindness in this way.

Doctor Fang is good at treating carbuncles and boils, and he likes this diligent young man very much.When Ding Zhao asked for advice, he would explain a thing or two.

It costs at least three hundred yuan to go to the medical clinic to pull out the boils. The neighbor Li Laoer found Ding Zhao.Unexpectedly, he was cured, so he sent over fifty cash.

Even if Ding Xiang couldn't see it, she could hear Ding Zhao's relaxation and joy.This father is very smart, he even learned a skill secretly while working as a temporary worker.

The medicine pill is also learned secretly there, right?

Mrs. Zhang lost her eyes with a smile, bowed her head and kissed Ding Xiang, and said with a smile, "Xiang Xiang is the lucky star of our family, and Daddy will make money as soon as you come."

Then he said to Ding Zhao, "Tomorrow, pull a few feet of good cotton cloth for Xiangxiang to make it soft."

Ding Zhao nodded and said, "Well, I'll buy some more sucrose and put it in rice soup for Xiangxiang to drink. It's sweet. My poor girl, I've wronged her, so I can only drink rice soup."

After hearing this, Ding Xiang's little chest was filled with sweetness.Don't look at this father who is bold and generous, and has delicate feelings.

At Xushi, both Ding Zhao and Mrs. Zhang were on the kang, and there was another knock on the door.

The two became tense again.

Mrs. Zhang took the child into her arms, and Ding Zhao put on her clothes and went outside.

The night was dark and there were only a few small stars in the sky.

Ding Zhao asked towards the courtyard door, "Who?"

The person outside the door said loudly, "Officer, someone has lost something and saw a thief running this way. Let's see if there is a thief in your house."

There were two more loud knocks on the door, which made Ding Zhao's heart tremble, and he took advantage of others even more in the silence of the night.

Ding Zhao had no choice but to open the door, and two poor men walked in.

They looked around and asked, "Have you ever found a milk baby?"

The attitude is much better, not asking the thief but the doll.

Ding Zhao was scared out of his wits.These people should be looking for Xiangxiang, and they are not good for Xiangxiang.If the child loses the report to the police, it is upright to find the child, and there is no need to lie and let people open the door, and then tell the real purpose.

Xiangxiang was taken back by them, dangerous!
Ding Zhao regained his composure, and said in a voice Zhang could hear, "Baby baby? Didn't find it."

He was reminding Mrs. Zhang to coax the child and hide it quickly.Although she knew that Xiangxiang didn't like to cry, she was still afraid of accidents.

The official asked again, "Did you see the people nearby picking it up? If you find it, the owner will reward you with 500 taels of silver. If you find clues to find the child, you will reward you with 100 taels of silver."

Ding Zhao's eyes lit up, and he shook his head in pain, "To tell you the truth, we didn't pick it up, and we didn't see anyone pick it up."

The official still looked around after entering the room, and one of them winked at the closed bedroom door.

Ding Zhao pushed open the door, and the official took a look at the door.There were no children in the house, only a woman.

The officer went out of the house and gave Ding Zhao a small silver dime, "If you find anything, send a letter to Ma Hong of the Wucheng Bingma Division. Remember, don't look for others, look for Ma Hong, and your reward is indispensable. So much Money, you can’t earn it all your life.”

In their view, a milk doll is not worth five taels of silver, and it is impossible for these poor ghosts to refuse such a big temptation.If you find a child or find something, you will definitely rush to report it.

Ding Zhao bowed and said, "Yes, yes. If you have that good luck, you will make a fortune."

The two officials left his house and went to take pictures of the courtyard door next door.

Ding Xiang was hidden in the kang cabinet by Mrs. Zhang, so frightened that Biao urinated.

The people of the old witch Xun actually found this place.

The head of the Xun family, that is, his own grandfather, should not know that the old witch Xun did such an immoral thing.The old hag and Mr. Xun have limited abilities, so they only dare to look for it in such a secret way.Going into the house to find someone, maybe you only dare to choose this kind of slum, and you have to do it at night.

Those two officials should be subordinates of what they called "Ma Hong". Ma Hong was in charge of the army and horses in Wucheng, and was the mother and son of the old witch Xun.

The name must also be memorized.

Horse red, red horse upside down.In order to strengthen memory, Ding Xiang made such a metaphor.

The glorious images of Ding Zhao and Zhang are even taller and stalwart in Ding Xiang's mind.They were overjoyed after earning 500 taels of silver, but they refused so simply when faced with the temptation of [-] taels of silver, saving the baby who had never met before.

If she fell into the hands of others, she would probably be handed over.

Ding Xiang made a great wish in her heart, you will not save me in vain, and I will earn more than 500 taels in the future.

Mrs. Zhang also broke out in a cold sweat.Hearing that the courtyard door was closed, he lightly carried Ding Xiang out.Seeing Xiao Nizi looking at her with bright eyes open, there was still a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Mrs. Zhang said fearfully, "Thanks to Xiangxiang for not crying. If she did, the three of us would be finished."

When Ding Zhao came back, his nose and forehead were covered with sweat.

He hugged Lilac into his arms and said, "My good boy, you are blessed. You escaped a catastrophe and ended up living in a family like us. Although we are not rich, we can treat you well. The only thing is, you must not Cry loudly, and you will be safe when you leave the capital."

Zhang put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, God has eyes, Bodhisattva blesses you."

Ding Zhao added, "Those two officials went to the house next door. We must not let the neighbors find out that we have children."

Mrs. Zhang asked, "Will those people go to the dock to find someone?"

Ding Zhao said, "Except for your neighbors, old doctor Fang's family, and the people in the embroidery workshop who know that you haven't given birth to a child last month, who else knows? There are too many people bringing baby babies on board. Let's go out early and take all precautions. Let Xiangxiang attract the attention of others."

Having said that, the husband and wife are still uneasy.

They dare not sleep, Ding Zhao ran to the yard to listen to the movement outside.

After the two officials searched the alley, it took more than an hour before they went to the kang to rest.

At night, Ding Xiang, who was lying on the kang, heard an indescribable "drama" and performed it right beside her.

This made Ding Xiang's face flushed and her heart jumping with fear.

How embarrassing.

I think she lived to be 33 years old in her previous life and was still the original product.Although there are many suitors, she has never thought of getting married and having children, and she has never even talked about love.

She can only silently say that it is a good thing for a young couple to love each other. A harmonious family is much better than that pair of parents in the previous life.
