Fragrance Returned

Ding Xiang didn't want to go back and cried, "I won't leave, I have to take care of my grandpa."

Ms. Zhang still picked her up and walked her out.

Ding Xiang couldn't struggle, and she was afraid of disturbing Ding Zhuang and making him uncomfortable, so she had to let Zhang carry him out.

Ding Liren looked at his grandfather, then at his father, pulled Zhang's clothes and walked away.

Ding Zhao said to Ding Lichun again, "Go back to the house."

Ding Lichun didn't want to. Seeing his father's face darkening, he had no choice but to wipe his tears and go to the West Room.

Ding Zhuang moved his lips, and Ding Zhao put his ears toward his mouth.

"If I die, you will..."

Ding Zhuang's voice was low and intermittent.

Ding Zhao's face became more and more horrified. He suppressed his suspicion and kept promising, "Well, okay, I understand, dad will be fine..."

The night is as black as ink, and everything is silent.

Ding Xiang's heart was filled with sadness and fear, and the abyss of despair suffocated her. She was so small, fragile, vulnerable, and powerless.

Grandpa had to use such cruel and decisive methods to protect her, but she couldn't do anything at this time...

The snoring sounds of Zhang and Ding Liren could be heard in his ears. They were so exhausted that they fell asleep crying.

Ding Xiang couldn't sleep, and her heart felt like it was hollowed out.

The long dark night passed and the rooster crowed.

The faint morning light imprinted on the window paper, and the courtyard door banged.

Ding Lichun ran out and opened the door. It was Dingshan and his son.

Dingshan came to see Ding Zhuang, and Ding Qin came to drive the bullock cart to the county town to ask the doctor to buy medicine. If we leave at this time, we will arrive at the county seat just as the city gate opens.

Ding Xiang and Ding Liren came to the door of the upper room, but Ding Lichun blocked the door and refused to let in.

"I'm afraid you'll disturb me, so I won't let you in."

"Let's not argue, just watch." Lilac begged.

For the first time, Ding Lichun ignored his sister's tears, pulled her and said, "Dad said no. Daddy is discussing things with Third Grandpa. Don't disturb them."

Helpless, Ding Xiang had to sit on the steps in front of the door, and Ding Liren sat in rows with her.

After a while, Mrs. Zhang was called in, and the three of them discussed. After a while, Dingshan hurriedly walked out. Mrs. Zhang went to the kitchen to cook the rice in the pot, and then went back to the east room to be busy.

Ding Xiang and Ding Liren looked at each other, wondering what the adults were planning.

After Mrs. Zhang finished cleaning up, she called Ding Xiang in again, changed her clothes and washed her face.

Dingshan, Erbo Xia and his son Xia Dahe came, and they were discussing in the house again.

Ding Zhao came out and took Ding Xiang and Ding Liren, and they entered the east chamber.

Mrs. Zhang has already packed two baggage.

Lilac knew what they were going to do. The little head shook like a rattle, "I won't leave, I want to stay with grandpa at home."

Ding Zhao picked up Ding Xiang and said, "Dad, I know you are precocious. There are a lot of things at home now. You can't help at home and are distracting us. Be obedient and follow the third grandfather and Brother Xia to your grandpa's house to live for a while. Wait until the house is calm. Come down and pick you back up."

"No, Xiangxiang can't let go of grandpa, father and mother..." Dingxiang cried.

"We can't bear to leave you. But this is your father's wish. If you don't obey, he will be sad and his injuries will worsen. The bad guys have returned to the county, and there is nothing going on at home for the time being. Those people are not familiar with the mountains and dare not enter easily. Shan provokes your grandpa and uncle. Only when you are safe can we deal with them wholeheartedly. Do you understand?"

The old man chopped off three of his fingers to pay off his debt. I don't know if Jiaozipu has any other options. He has to send the two children away to save them.

Ding Xiang sniffed her nose, she couldn't say she didn't understand, and she couldn't be disobedient. Even if she doesn't obey, the adults will take her away by force.

Still making the final struggle, he choked and said, "But I'm afraid, I'm afraid grandpa will die."

"I survived yesterday's difficulties, what could be more difficult than yesterday?" Ding Zhao put one of Ding Xiang's little hands on her chest, "Pray for your father, he will be safe and sound."

Ding Xiang hugged Ding Zhao's neck and whispered in his ear, "Dad, go find Mr. Qian. Tell him that grandpa made the dagger. Grandpa will also make better weapons. Maybe he can help our family."

I don’t know what bad things Jiaozipu will do, so I need to find someone who can talk to him. Regardless of whether Master Qian Er is righteous or not, for the sake of good weapons, he might be willing to help.

Ding Zhao nodded solemnly, "You are gone safely, I will go find him."

Both he and his father thought of this method, but unexpectedly, his three-year-old daughter also thought of it.

Ding Xiang looked at the bundle that Zhang had packed for her. There was a small bundle with her shoes in it.

Ding Zhao brought her another small purse with pills and whispered, "There are also a few pills in small porcelain bottles. Change them every two days."

Mrs. Zhang took Ding Liren and told him various precautions.

Ding Xiang wanted to see Ding Zhuang, but Ding Zhao didn't agree, so she had to kowtow three times outside Ding Zhuang's small window with tears in her eyes.

Ding Liren saw her and kowtowed with her.

A few people had breakfast in a hurry, Dingshan was carrying lilac on his back, Xia Dahe was holding Ding Liren, and both of them still held wooden sticks in their hands. They hurried to the back of the village, passed Nanquan Village southward and walked a few miles further, crossed the Baishui River, and entered Nanfu Mountain.

Grandpa’s home is in Nanfu Mountain.

If Ding Liren gets tired from walking, Xia Dahe will also have to carry some distance.

Familiar scenery is completely left behind. In front of you are unfamiliar dead leaves and boulders. In your ears you can hear the chirping of birds and the sound of gurgling spring water. Occasionally, you will encounter a few herb collectors, hunters or passers-by.

Lilac was unbearably sad and exhausted. No matter what situation Grandpa Ding Zhuang is about to face, she can do nothing now but pray for blessings. I hope that grandpa can survive the serious injury and that Qian Er, the leader of the family, will be truly righteous and a cooperative person. Wait until you have passed this difficulty before planning the next step.

It feels very bad to place your hopes on someone you don't know.

But it was the only thing she could do at this time.

She doesn't have enough physical strength and connections right now, but if she had thought more about it, not underestimated the enemy so much, and asked for money and a second boss earlier, she might not have been able to get to this point. If Grandpa Ding Zhuang really dies, it will be a pain that she cannot bear in her lifetime...

She shed tears silently, dreaming unknowingly as she jolted.

I don’t know how long I slept, but Dingshan’s voice came to my ears, “Xiangxiang, wake up.”

She opened her eyes, and her little body was already in Dingshan's arms. Xia Dahe and Ding Liren were sitting on a stone. Looking up, I saw that the sun was almost at its zenith.

It's early noon.

By now they were at the top of the mountain, and their eyes were wide open.

The mountains are towering, with many mountains, thousands of valleys and thousands of rocks. The clouds cover the fog and the three colors of red, yellow and green paint the mountains as magnificent as a picture scroll...

Suddenly, Ding Xiang was so startled by the large rock on the top of a mountain in the distance that she almost screamed.

Under the blue sky, on a towering mountain peak, the bare brown boulder looked like a crowing chicken head, with several goshawks soaring in the sky.

It was the place she had dreamed of.
