Chapter 5 Desperate Survival

Ding Zhao hurriedly walked home with the box.

The box contained the candy and candied fruit he bought for his son, the tonic he bought for his father, and a piece of flower cloth for his daughter-in-law. It cost more than five taels of silver, and it's a pity that it's gone.

Ding Zhao and his wife live in Qikou Hutong, not far from Yinfeng Street, and they are more than a quarter of an hour's walk away. The dwellings in this area are dilapidated, old and small, and most of the residents are pawns of traders. As soon as you enter the mouth of the alley, you can smell a turbid gas.

The dirty puddles on the ground were one after the other, and he walked through them on tiptoe and knocked on the second courtyard door.

"Who?" A female voice.

Ding Zhao said, "Zhiniang, it's me." ”

Neither voice has been heard.

Xun Xiang in the box was excited, but she didn't expect that she was already dead, and her fate was reversed again.

Xun Xiang was woken up by a fall.

Hearing people crying outside, he guessed what was wrong, and his box fell to the ground.

She didn't dare to cry, and prayed that the "He Shun" in the mother-in-law's mouth would not pick up the box. I am afraid that if I don't pick it up, I will be trampled to death.

While he was struggling, the box was picked up.

She wants to cry without tears, and the shortest-lived crossing woman should be decided.

After a while, she rekindled her hope, because the person carrying the box did not take the car but walked, and did not hear Mama He's voice.

There may be people who want to get rich and take the box first.

Xun Xiang prayed, no matter the thief, bandits, or wicked people, whoever takes it is fine, just don't let He Shun take it.

Regardless of whether there is a tiger's den or a dragon pond ahead, it is better than being killed immediately, and there is still room for planning.

Hearing those two voices, Lilac was sure that she had indeed been picked up by someone else.

The sound of the door being slammed, followed by the voice of a man.

"I also bought you a piece of calico."

The woman smiled, "It costs so much money to treat the disease, why spend it in vain." ”

Ding Zhao smiled, "Red flower on a blue background, you look good in clothes." ”

The husband and wife entered the house and placed the wooden box on the table.

Zhang looked at the wooden box and said in surprise, "Boss, this box is not ours." ”

Ding Zhao was startled, and looked down at the wooden box, dark brown, the same size, but the box was carved with patterns, and the wood was much better.

"It's really not ours, it must have been taken by mistake on Yinfeng Street. I was in a hurry, and I didn't look carefully. ”

He quickly opened the lid of the box and saw a milk doll in a green dress and a small pink hat curled up in the box. The milk doll watched them quietly with her eyes wide open.

Ding Zhao and Zhang both exclaimed.

"Oh my God!"

"What's going on?"

Ding Zhao told him about the fact that when he passed by Yinfeng Street, he encountered a panic, and the box in his hand fell to the ground and picked it up again.

"I'll go back to Yinfeng Street right away and see if anyone is looking for the child."

Zhang's was attracted by the milk doll in the box, and his eyes were full of love and pity.

"Tsk, it's so beautiful, it's the first time I've seen such a handsome child. I was bold and didn't cry. ”

She took the child out of the box and ripped off the diaper, it was a girl.

The pity in her eyes was even greater, and she carefully examined the child, and said, "The clothes and hats are all excellent soft satin, and they are embroidered with flowers, sewn pearls, smoked incense, and carved flowers on the box...... This child is not simple, he must be from a rich family. ”

In the year he came to the capital, Zhang's took it to the embroidery shop to sell it for money, and he could tell the quality of the material. Occasionally, I will meet the ladies of rich and noble families who go there, and I can also distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of incense. Although the child's fragrance is very light, it smells very good, and it should be the best incense that is rarely found.

Ding Zhao also saw something unusual, "Such a small milk doll, not to mention the rich family, is our flat-headed little people, we have to hold it in our arms or carry it on our backs when we go out, for fear of bumping the child into it."

"The children of rich families are expensive, how can they be packed in a box and covered with a lid, obviously they don't want to be seen. Could it be that the bad guys stole the children out and sold them for money?

Or is the person who stole the child an enemy of the child's parents and wants to kill her and throw her to a mass grave? It's scary to think about it, if there were more crowds, the child would have been trampled to death. ”

After speaking, he shook his head again and denied his previous speculation, "It's not right, the rich and noble people are not our ordinary people, and thieves can steal things by climbing over the wall." The rich and noble families are deep in the compound, and there are so many masters and subordinates, how can the children be easily stolen.

"In this way, there must be someone in the child's family who is not good for her, and she can only steal it if she cooperates with the outside."

Xun Xiang was very surprised, this couple is quite smart, and the analysis is straightforward.

Zhang was a little scared, "Boss, did you cause trouble by picking up the child back?" He sighed twice and said, "How can they give up such beautiful children." ”

Ding Zhao said, "Big families have a lot of selfishness, as long as it affects their interests, they can do anything." ”

His mother, who died young, was killed by her family.

Ding Zhao took the child from his wife's hand. The child is extremely beautiful, and his clear eyes look at him without blinking. Ding Zhao's heart was soft and he was reluctant to let go.

Listening to their conversation just now, Xun Xiang decided that the two couples were good people. She was also afraid that they would send her back to the wolf's den, so she grinned at them.

I roared in my heart, adopt me, adopt me......

Zhang's heart softened, and he liked the child to the bottom of his heart, and he also saw her husband's love for the child.

She said, "God, look how sweet she is smiling at us. Boss, I told you, I dreamed a few days ago that I gave birth to a daughter, is this a girl given to us by God? Otherwise, let's keep her. If she is sent back to Yinfeng Street, no one will necessarily recognize her, and even if she does, she may be killed. I only gave birth to two sons, and my father-in-law longed for a granddaughter every day. But I hurt my body when I gave birth to Liren, and who knows if I can get pregnant again. ”

Xun Xiang was excited, this is the aura of the crossing woman, she can be repackaged again if she dies, and she was picked up by this family by mistake. These two couples are kind at first glance, and they just don't have a daughter.

She smiled sweeter at the woman first, then turned her eyes to the man, and Yin Yin looked at him. Of course, she couldn't see them clearly, but she could make out the direction by the sound.

Ding Zhao also remembered that his daughter-in-law dreamed of giving birth to a daughter, this is really a daughter given to them by God?

He smiled, "This child is so smart, look at her little eyes, I'm afraid we don't want her." I picked her up, and it was fate. ”

Of course we have fate, Xun Xiang was so happy that her eyes were crooked.

Ding Zhao saw that the milk doll smiled sweetly at him, and his heart was full of pity. "However, we can't leave her ...... without permission."

Zhang said hurriedly, "Why not, you also like this child." ”

Xun Xiang's smile froze, and she wanted to cry when she pouted. The words are so nice, why don't you keep yourself?
