Fragrance Returned

Arrive outside the pier at the end of noon.

Ding Zhao discovered that two women selling rattles were acting suspiciously. They were walking through the crowd, and when they saw someone holding or carrying a baby, they would come up to sell them.

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

Ding Zhao whispered to Zhang. Mrs. Zhang became nervous and tightened the belt that bound the child.

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

He reached out and pulled the cloth covering Lilac's head more tightly.

A woman saw them and ran over. With a smile on his face, he said, "Buy a small drum, it's twenty cents each."

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

The mother-in-law said again, "Fifteen cents each, which is much cheaper than in the capital. Take a closer look at this little drum, it's so good."

The snare drum is exquisitely made and costs twenty-five cents a piece in Beijing. It is indeed cheap. It seems unreasonable not to buy it. But what’s even more unreasonable is, why is such a good snare drum so much cheaper?

Ding Zhao became more convinced of his previous suspicions and spent money to buy the drum.

The mother-in-law looked behind Mrs. Zhang. She saw that the child was wrapped in blue coarse cloth, with only a slit on the head. The child's appearance could not be seen, and it smelled of medicine.

She smiled and said, "The child is so handsome. How old is he?"

Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "It's been more than two months. Alas, the child has diarrhea. It's pitiful to have to take bitter medicine at such a young age."

The quilt is thick and wrapped in blue cloth. It looks like a two-month-old baby.

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

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

The couple 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 don’t dare anymore. I didn't even change Dingxiang's diaper, so I had to wait until the boat sailed to change it.

They were particularly afraid that Ding Xiang would be hungry or cry, so they would pat her from time to time to comfort her.

This child was so worry-free that he didn’t even cry until he got on the boat.

The two women also came to the boat to sell rattles, and they didn't get off until the boat was about to leave.

After more than two quarters of an hour, when the couple saw no suspicious person, Zhang took off the clove from behind.

Dingxiang pooped and peed twice, covering her buttocks and legs. Her pants and quilt were all wet, and her lower body was cold.

Ding Zhao and Zhang were very distressed. Quickly wipe your little body clean with a dry cloth, change your clothes and pants again, and put on the diaper.

Mrs. Zhang said, "Good boy, you have suffered."

Ding Zhao also whispered, "Xiangxiang is so good and smart. If the bad guy is gone, cry a few times if you feel uncomfortable."

Dingxiang knew she was safe, so she pursed her lips and hummed a few times, which was considered coquettish. She didn't cry, luckily it was more than uncomfortable.

An old lady not far away couldn't see it, shook her head and said, "Why are you raising a child? She doesn't tell her to change her diaper immediately after the child poops. Tsk, tsk, how pitiful you are."

The couple did not dare to speak.

Mrs. Zhang held the cloves and searched for them all over the boat.

I actually saw a woman with huge breasts holding a baby.

Mrs. Zhang stepped forward and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, I lost my health during childbirth and have no milk. Can you feed my child oral milk three times a day for ten cents each time?"

The woman was very willing to earn this money and said with a bright smile, "Okay, I have a lot of milk and my son can't finish it."

The man on the side was even more happy. He didn't expect that he could still make money by taking a boat. If you sit for seven or eight days, you can earn more than 200 yuan.

The woman's body smelled bad, and Ding Xiang felt that since she hadn't bathed for several days, her "pacifier" must be dirty. Even though he was dizzy with hunger, he still turned his face to the side and refused to drink her milk.

Mrs. Zhang had no choice but to hold her back, which made the woman grit her teeth in anger.

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

After eating and drinking enough, Ding Xiang hits his mouth and mouth, so comfortable!

The cabin was stuffy and smelled bad.

Ding Zhao and Zhang took turns holding Ding Xiang around outside the cabin. The sun was warm in the afternoon, the river breeze was cool, and a few birds flying on the river came chirping and hovered above their heads.

Ding Xiang grinned, and fell into sleep again with a smile.

This kind of boat was mostly used by people with no money. It only sailed during the day and docked at night for rest and supplies. People who take the boat are not willing to spend money to stay in inns on the shore, but live directly on the boat.

Ding Zhao and Zhang bought seats and took a nap next to each other. Afraid that someone would steal the child at night, Ding Zhao wrapped the lilac in a big cloth and tied it to his chest, and he still held her tightly with his hands when he fell asleep.

In this thick embrace, Lilac slept soundly and contentedly.

The weather these days cannot be said to be very good. It rained lightly for a few days, but the wind was not strong and there was no headwind. At the beginning of the afternoon on the second day of September, the big ship arrived at the Linshui County pier smoothly.

After landing on the shore, the last bit of anxiety in Ding Xiang's heart drifted away with the wind.

She was completely freed from the clutches of old witch Xun, and she was no longer the emperor's granddaughter, the daughter of Princess Dongyang and Prince Consort Xun. For many years from now on, she will be farming and doing business in the vast countryside as a small peasant girl, ready to fight the bad guys.

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

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

Ding Xiang narrowed her eyes slightly and silently repeated the names of people related to her in the capital and the transfer plan she heard. Grandma Li's hateful face appeared in front of her eyes. There was a black mole as big as a mung bean on the side of her left eyebrow, and her eyes were staring with four white eyes...

After thinking about the troubles in the capital, I also thought about how to use the knowledge from my past life to make the first pot of gold in the future.

Her adoptive parents were so kind and tried so hard to take her out of danger. Her first priority was to repay their kindness and let the family live a better life.

Ding Xiang studied fine arts in her previous life, and she entered the 985 school with fourth place in the city.

In fact, her cultural classes are very good. The reason why she keeps studying art is to spend more money from her parents as a revenge.

As soon as she graduated from college, she entered a relatively famous studio and drew comics. She earns a lot of money, between 20,000 and 300,000 yuan a year, which is a high salary in the quasi-first-tier city where she lives.

But she was exhausted. After working hard for eight years, she found out that her heart was not in good condition. She didn't want to waste her life just for money.

She took out 1.2 million of her own savings, and then used all possible means to force her parents to give 150,000 each, and bought a small apartment of 54 square meters with the full amount. She doesn't want to get married, living alone is enough.

He spent more than 80,000 yuan to buy a famous watch for his uncle, and hired her to work in the archives of a state-owned steel company through talent introduction.

Before his death, my grandfather was the leader of that company, my uncle is now a senior executive, and my cousin also works there. My grandma's family can be considered a steel family.

She was not used to feeling relaxed all of a sudden, and Xunxiang didn't want to fall in love, so she found various things to do to fill up her time. Even if I don't work overtime like before, I still habitually go to bed after twelve o'clock.

One thing is that she is definitely not like most young people today who spend a lot of time playing mobile games. She feels that it is a waste of time and a waste of life.
