Chapter 8 Finding the Door
Zhang took the clove into his arms and looked for the place where the child was hidden. trembling his voice and chanting, "Xiangxiang is good, can't cry......"
Ding Zhao walked out and closed the bedroom door and the upper door.
Later, Ding Zhao came back happily.
"It's Li Lao Er in the latter alley. His boils were healed, and he gave me fifty dollars as a thank-you gift. ”
During the year that Ding Zhao pounded medicine, he learned how to pull out boils.
He is diligent and lively, has a sweet mouth, and loves to help. It doesn't matter if it's his job or not, as long as someone calls, he will help. Of course, the old doctor helped Fang the most, including the things in the hospital and the rough work at home.
Zhang would also go to Fang's house every other month to wash the quilts and sheets for his family. The two of them have a very simple idea, they have no money in their own family, so they can only repay the favor in this way.
Dr. Fang has a set of carbuncle treatments, and he likes this diligent offspring very much. Ding Zhao asks for advice, and he will explain one or two.
It costs at least 300 yuan to go to the hospital to pull out the boils, and the neighbor Li Lao Er found Ding Zhao. Unexpectedly, he was cured, so he sent fifty yuan over.
Even if Lilac can't see it, he can hear Ding Zhao's ease and joy. This dad is very smart, and he has learned a skill as a temporary worker.
The cure pill was also stolen there, right?
Zhang's smile was confused, he lowered his head and kissed Lilac, and said with a smile, "Xiangxiang is the lucky star of our family, and you will make money as soon as you come to Daddy." ”
said to Ding Zhao again, "Tomorrow I will pull a few feet of good cotton cloth for Xiangxiang, and it will be soft." ”
Ding Zhao nodded and said, "Well, buy some more cane sugar and put it in the rice soup for Xiangxiang to drink, sweet." My poor daughter, wronged her, can only drink rice soup. ”
Hearing this, Lilac's little chest overflowed with sweetness. Don't look at this daddy's heroic appearance, his feelings are very delicate.
At that time, Ding Zhao and Zhang were on the kang, and there was a knock on the door again.
The two of them tensed again.
Zhang took the child into his arms, and Ding Zhao put on his clothes and walked outside.
The night was thick with only a few small stars in the sky.
Ding Zhao asked at the courtyard gate, "Who?" ”
The person outside the door said in a loud voice, "Official, someone has lost something and sees a thief running this way, see if you have entered the thief." ”
There were two louder knocks on the door, which made Ding Zhao's heart tremble, and he was even more preempting in the silent night.
Ding Zhao had to open the door and walked in with two bad masters.
They looked around and asked, "Have you ever picked up a milk doll?" ”
The attitude is much better, not to ask the thief but to ask the doll.
Ding Zhao was frightened and scattered. These people should have come to find Xiangxiang, and it was not good for Xiangxiang. If the child loses the report, look for the child to be open, and there is no need to lie and let people open the door, and then talk about the real purpose.
Xiangxiang was brought back by them, dangerous!
Ding Zhao steadied himself and said in a voice that Zhang could hear, "Milk doll? Didn't pick it up. ”
He was reminding Zhang's to hurry up and coax the child to hide it. Although I know that Xiangxiang doesn't like to cry, I'm still afraid of accidents.
The official asked again, "Did you see anyone nearby picking it up?" If you find it, you will be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver, and if you find a clue to find the child, you will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver. ”
Ding Zhao's eyes lit up, and he shook his head painfully, "Don't hide it, we haven't picked it up, and we haven't seen anyone pick it up." ”
The official still went into the house to look around, and a person glanced at the door of the bedroom with the door closed.
Ding Zhao pushed the door open, and the official took a look at the door. There were no children in the house, only a woman.
The official sent out of the house and threw Ding Zhao a small silver horn, "If you find it, go and send a letter to Ma Hong of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses." Remember, don't look for others, look for Mahon, your reward is indispensable. With so much money, you can't earn it in your lifetime. ”
In their opinion, a milk doll is not worth five taels of silver, and it is impossible for these poor ghosts to refuse such a great temptation. If you pick up a child or find it, you will definitely be busy reporting it.
Ding Zhao bowed and said, "Yes, yes." If you have that good luck, you will make a fortune. ”
The two officials sent out of his house and went to photograph the courtyard gate next door.
Lilac was hidden in the kang cabinet by Zhang's and was so frightened that she urinated.
The people of the old demon woman Xun actually found here.
The old demon woman Xun did this lack of morality, and the head of the Xun family, that is, his own grandfather, should not know. The old witch and Xun Sanye have limited abilities, so they only dare to look for them in such secrets. When you go into the house to find someone, you may only dare to choose this kind of slum, and it will be at night.
Those two officials should be the subordinates of "Ma Hong" in their mouths, Ma Hong works as an errand in the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and is the person of Xun Lao Witch's mother and son.
The name must also be memorized.
Horse red, red horse upside down. To strengthen the memory, Lilac made such a metaphor.
The glorious images of Ding Zhao and Zhang are also more lofty and majestic in Lilac's mind. They were overjoyed when they made fifty taels of money, but they refused so simply in the face of the temptation of five hundred taels of silver, and they still saved the milk doll who had never lived in their lives.
If she falls into someone else's hands, she will probably be handed over.
Lilac made a grand wish in her heart, you will not save me in vain, and I will earn more than five hundred taels in the future.
Zhang also broke out in a cold sweat. Hearing the courtyard door shut, he gently took the cloves out. I saw Xiao Nizi looking at her with bright eyes, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth.
Zhang said fearfully, "Thanks to Xiangxiang, she didn't cry." If we cry, we'll all be finished. ”
Ding Zhao came back, his nose and forehead were sweaty.
He took Lilac into his arms and said, "Good boy, you are blessed to have escaped a catastrophe and ended up in a common man like us. We may not have much to spare, but we can treat you well. It's just the same, you must not cry loudly, you will be safe when you leave the capital. ”
Zhang's hands clasped together and said, "Amitabha, God has eyes, and the Bodhisattva blesses." ”
Ding Zhao said again, "Those two officials went to the house next door, and we must not let the neighbors find out that our family has children." ”
Zhang asked, "Will those people go to the dock to find someone?" ”
Ding Zhao said, "Except for the neighbors, Doctor Fang's family, and the people in the embroidery workshop who know that you didn't give birth to a child last month, who else knows?" There are more people who bring milk dolls on the boat. Let's go out early and take all precautions to prevent Xiangxiang from attracting the attention of others. ”
Having said that, the husband and wife are still nervous.
They didn't dare to sleep, so Ding Zhao ran to the yard to listen to the movement outside.
After the two officials searched the alley, more than an hour passed before they went up to the kang to rest.
At night, Lilac lying on the kang listened to an indescribable "big play" and staged it beside him.
This made Lilac's old face flush and her heart was pounding.
It's embarrassing.
I think she lived to be thirty-three years old in her previous life, and she is still an original product. Although there are many suitors, she has never thought about getting married and having children, and she has never even talked about falling in love.
She only meditated on her that the love of young couples is a good thing, and the family and beauty are much stronger than the parents in the previous life.
