Fragrance Returned

Mrs. Zhang took Ding Xiang into her arms and searched for the place where the child was hidden. With a trembling voice, she muttered, "Xiangxiang, be 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 Mr. Li from the next alley. His boil was cured and he gave me fifty cents as a thank you gift."

During the year when Ding Zhao was making medicine, he learned how to pull out boils.

He is diligent, lively, sweet-tongued, and especially loves to help. Regardless of whether it was his job or not, he would help whenever someone asked. Of course, the old doctors help the most, including things in the medical clinic and menial work at home.

Zhang would also go to Fang's house every month to wash his quilts and sheets. Their thoughts were very simple. They had no money, so they could only repay their kindness in this way.

Dr. Fang has a good way of treating carbuncle and boils, and he likes this hard-working young man very much. When Ding Zhao asked for advice, he would explain everything.

It costs at least 300 yuan to go to a medical clinic to remove a boil. Neighbor Li Laoer found Ding Zhao. Unexpectedly, he was cured, so he sent him fifty cash.

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

Is that where you also secretly learned how to cure pills?

Mrs. Zhang was stunned with laughter, lowered her head and kissed Lilac, and said with a smile, "Xiangxiang is the lucky star of our family. Daddy will make money as soon as you come."

Then he said to Ding Zhao, "Tomorrow I will pull a few feet of good cotton cloth for Xiangxiang. It needs to be soft."

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

After hearing this, Lilac's little chest was filled with sweetness. Despite his heroic appearance, this father has very delicate emotions.

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

The two became nervous again.

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

The night was dark, with 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 lost something and saw a thief running this way. Check to see if a thief has entered your house."

There were two more loud knocks on the door, which made Ding Zhao's heart tremble, making it even more frightening in the silent 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 picked up a baby?"

My attitude has improved a lot, I am not asking the thief but the doll.

Ding Zhao was scared to death. These people should be here to find Xiangxiang, and they are not good for Xiangxiang. If the child is lost and reported to the police, the child should be dealt with openly and honestly. There is no need to lie and have the door opened before telling the real purpose.

Xiangxiang was taken back by them, it was dangerous!

Ding Zhao calmed down and said in a voice that Zhang could hear, "Milk baby? I didn't pick it up."

He was reminding Madam Zhang to coax the child into hiding. Although she knew Xiangxiang didn't like to cry, she was still afraid of an accident.

The officer asked again, "Have you seen anyone nearby pick it up? If you pick it up, the owner will reward you with five hundred taels of silver. If you find clues and find the child, you will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver."

Ding Zhao's eyes lit up, and he shook his head in pain, "To be honest, Master Cha, we didn't pick it up, and we didn't see anyone pick it up."

The officer entered the room and looked around, and then one of them winked at the closed bedroom door.

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

The officer left the house and gave Ding Zhao another small silver coin. "If you find anything, go and send a message to Ma Hong of the Five Cities Military and Horse Department. Remember, don't look for anyone else, look for Ma Hong. Your reward is indispensable. So much You won’t be able to make money in a lifetime.”

In their opinion, a milk baby is not worth five taels of silver. It is impossible for these poor people to refuse such a big temptation. If you pick up 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, who was so frightened that she urinated.

Old Witch Xun's people actually found this place.

The head of the Xun family, his own grandfather, probably didn’t know that old witch Xun did such an immoral thing. The old witch and Mr. Xun have limited abilities, so they only dare to search secretly. When looking for someone at home, you may only dare to choose this slum area, and you have to do it at night.

Those two official servants should be the subordinates of "Ma Hong" as they call him. Ma Hong is a servant of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division and is the son of the old witch Xun.

You must also remember this name.

The horse is red, the red horse is upside down. In order to strengthen memory, Lilac made such a metaphor.

The glorious images of Ding Zhao and Zhang are also taller and more majestic in Ding Xiang's mind. They were overjoyed to have made fifty taels of silver, but when faced with the temptation of 500 taels of silver, they refused so simply, and the one they saved was a baby they had never met before.

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

Ding Xiang had great ambitions in her heart. You will not save me in vain. I will earn more than five hundred taels in the future.

Mrs. Zhang was also frightened and broke into a cold sweat. When she heard the courtyard door being locked, she gently took Ding Xiang out. He saw Xiao Nizi looking at her with bright eyes and a smile on her lips.

Mrs. Zhang said fearfully, "Thank you Xiangxiang for not crying. If she had cried, all three of us would be doomed."

Ding Zhao came back with sweat on his nose and forehead.

He took Ding Xiang into his arms and said, "Good boy, you are blessed to have escaped a disaster and live in a common 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 outside the capital."

Zhang put her hands together and said, "Amitabha, God has eyes, Bodhisattva bless you."

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

Zhang asked, “Will those people go to the dock to look for someone?”

Ding Zhao said, "Apart from the neighbors, Dr. Fang's family, and the people in the embroidery shop who know that you didn't give birth last month, who else knows? There are so many people bringing baby babies on board. Let's go out early and take all precautions. Let Xiangxiang attract others’ attention.”

Having said that, the couple still felt uneasy.

They didn't dare to sleep, so Ding Zhao ran to the yard to listen to what was going on outside.

After the two officers finished searching 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, listened to an indescribable "big drama" that was staged right next to her.

This made Ding Xiang's face turn red and her heart skip a beat.

It was so embarrassing.

I think she lived to be thirty-three years old in her previous life and it was still original. Although she had many suitors, she never thought about getting married and having children, and she never even fell in love.

She could only think silently, it is a good thing for a young couple to love each other, and the beauty of the family is much better than the parents in the previous life.
