Chapter 8

Coming to the Door

Author: Lonely Qingquan

Coming to the Door

Mrs. Zhang took Ding Xiang into her arms and searched for the place where the child was hidden. She said with a trembling voice, "Xiang Xiang 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 Mr. Li from the next alley. His boil was cured and he gave me fifty cash as a thank you gift."

During the year that Ding Zhao made medicine, he learned how to pull out boils.

He is diligent, lively, sweet-tongued, and loves to help. No matter whether it is his job or not, he will help whenever someone asks. Of course, the old doctor helps the most, including things in the hospital and menial tasks at home.

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

Dr. Fang had a good way of treating carbuncle and furuncle, and he liked this diligent young man very much. When Ding Zhao asked for advice, he would explain everything.

It cost at least 300 Wen to go to a medical clinic to remove a boil. His neighbor Li Laoer found Ding Zhao. Unexpectedly, he was cured, so he sent him 50 Wen.

Even if Ding Xiang couldn't see it, she could still hear Ding Zhao's relaxation and joy. This father was very smart, and 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 will be sweet. My poor daughter, I have wronged her and can only drink rice soup."

After hearing this, Ding Xiang's little chest was filled with sweetness. Although this father looks heroic, his emotions are very delicate.

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

The two of them 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 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 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 tremble in his heart, and he took advantage of others even more in the quiet night.

Ding Zhao had no choice but to open the door and two policemen walked in.

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

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

Ding Zhao was so frightened that he lost his mind. These people should be here to find Xiangxiang, and they are not good for Xiangxiang. If the child is lost and reported to the official, it is fair and honest to find the child. There is no need to lie and let the door be 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 Mrs. Zhang to coax the child and hide it. Although he knew Xiangxiang didn't like to cry, he 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, then one of them winked at the closed bedroom door.

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

The official came out of the house and gave Ding Zhao a small silver coin. "If you find anything, go and send a message to Ma Hong of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division. 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 of working.”

In their opinion, a baby is not worth five taels of silver. It is impossible for these poor people to refuse such a big temptation. If they pick up a baby or find something, they 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 gate next door.

Dingxiang was hidden in the kang cabinet by Mrs. Zhang, and she was so frightened that she urinated.

Old Witch Xun's people actually found this place.

The head of the Xun family, his biological grandfather, probably didn’t know that old witch Xun did such a wicked thing. The old witch and Mr. Xun had limited abilities, so they only dared to search in secret. When looking for people at home, they probably only dared to choose this slum area.

, and also 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.

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

The glorious image of Ding Zhao and Zhang became even taller and majestic in Ding Xiang's mind. They were overjoyed to have made fifty cents of silver, but they refused so simply when faced with the temptation of five hundred taels of silver, and they saved a baby girl 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. She saw Xiao Nizi looking at her with bright eyes open 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 have been 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, "Except for the neighbors, Dr. Fang's family, and the people in the embroidery shop 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, otherwise

Let the fragrance 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, heard an indescribable "big play", which was staged right next to her.

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

It's really embarrassing.

I think she lived thirty-three years in her previous life and was still the original product. 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 that it is a good thing for a young couple to love each other, and that the family is harmonious and beautiful, which is much better than the parents in the previous life.
