Chapter 216 Persuasion
Huangshi Mountain is the starting point and the end point, not only because of the short distance, but also because there are no villages or human traces in between, so they are not afraid of being discovered or shot with arrows.
Starlight filtered through the window paper, the cabin was hazy, Lilac kissed Feifei.
"Cuckoo."
Feifei opened his eyes and looked at his little master, he wanted "Xiang Xiang".
Lilac shook her head.
Ling'er sleeps here, and she wants to give Feifei no benefits at all.
The next morning, lunch and dinner, Ding Xiang only ate less than half a bowl of porridge and a few mouthfuls of pickled courgette.
Seeing her little brother who felt sorry for her, Ding Xiang said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter, Doctor Zhao said I'll be fine once I'm hungry."
Ding Liren said, "I approved my sister to eat drunken shrimp. My father and I will definitely beat me up. Alas, my grandfather is still cunning. If he doesn't make up his mind, I can't blame him. I will know better next time. When you stand out, you can’t force yourself to stand out.”
Lilac chuckled secretly. The little brother is smart and knows how to summarize and reflect in time after suffering a loss to avoid making the same mistake next time.
She said, "It's because I'm greedy. Why do I beat my brother? Besides, the second brother has already tried, and they don't dare to beat you desperately. You go and study, don't be distracted."
If grandpa and dad agree to her going to Jitou Peak, why would she bother to beat them up?
Ding Liren left, and Ding Li came to sit here with his sister. His mouth curled up, and he blamed himself for not stopping it in time.
Ding Xiang no longer has diarrhea. But he has become much thinner, his face has become slimmer and his chin has become sharper.
On the twelfth day, she asked Zhang Dabao to weigh her. The clothes weighed 43 and a half kilograms, which was a little heavier than the last time she went to Jitou Peak.
It should be easier for Feifei not to hold heavy objects.
Ding Xiang brought Ding Liren and Ding Lilai each a piece of thick clothing, and hid in the room to cut flying bags.
The rhetoric is, "Make a big package, strong."
Ling'er's distressed eyebrows tightened, "Sister, it's a pity that such good clothes are twisted. If you want to make a bag, let's go home and get some cloth to make it."
Ding Xiang said stubbornly, "I want to do it now."
Ding Liren and Ding Lilai didn't care about her. My sister was so pitiful. It was rare that she wanted to play with her, so they just waited for her to do it.
Ding Lilai also said, "Is that enough? If it's not enough, I'll give you my pants again."
"enough."
After cutting it, let Ling'er help sew it. After Ling'er was sewn, Dingxiang secretly sewed the straps and ropes on herself. I made a simple hood and cut two holes for the eyes.
Even if there are no traces of people, we still have to be prepared just in case.
At night, everything is silent.
Suddenly there were knocks on the door and shouts, which seemed particularly abrupt and scary.
It was Ding Zhuang's voice, "Open the door, it's me, my surname is Ding."
It's Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao who are here.
They actually walked over the mountains and ridges at night.
Zhang Dabao got up quickly and opened the door.
As soon as Ding Zhuang entered the door, he bulged his eyes and asked, "Where is Xiangxiang? Where is my granddaughter?"
Zhang Dabao said hurriedly, "Don't worry, my dear, Xiangxiang's illness is cured."
He whispered about how Ding Xiang ate drunken shrimp and became ill. Ding Zhuang was so angry that his face turned to tears and he ignored him.
Ding Zhao said, "I'm sorry to trouble my uncle and father-in-law."
They went to Zhang Xiaobao's house and knocked on the door.
Mrs. Liu put on her clothes and came out and invited her father and son into the hut where Ding Xiang lived. My brother is not at home, so it is difficult for Zhang Dabao to go in in the middle of the night.
Ling'er lit the oil lamp.
In the dim light, Ding Xiang huddled up on the bed, looking pale and weakly at them.
"Grandpa, daddy."
The voice was soft and a little choked.
Ding Zhuang came to the bed in a few steps and took Ding Xiang into his arms.
His distressed lips trembled, "Xiangxiang, why are you so thin?"
Xiangxiang has never been so thin since she was a child, and her chin is like an awl.
Ding Zhao sat aside and sighed, trying to bring his daughter over, but he couldn't grab his father.
Mrs. Liu blushed and said, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have made drunken shrimps and made Xiangxiang suffer... You guys have a rest and I'll make some poached eggs."
She took Ling'er out with her.
Brothers Ding Liren and Ding Lilai ran over.
Ding Zhao was so angry that he kicked Ding Liren twice and Ding Lilai once. He scolded, "You guys eat like a pig, look how thin my sister has become?"
Ding Zhuang freed up a hand, slapped each other, and cursed, "You bastard, how can you take care of your sister? Get out, I don't want to see you, I will deal with you tomorrow."
The two young boys wiped their tears with their sleeves and left.
Ding Xiang looked at their backs apologetically. She had important things to do and couldn't plead for them.
Tears welled up in Ding Xiang's eyes, she buried her head in Ding Zhuang's arms, and said weakly, "Grandpa, I thought I would never see you again. I know that if I die, Grandpa will be the saddest. I don't want to die... …”
Another pale face appeared in front of Ding Zhuang, and she said, "If I die, the most pitiful thing is the child. I don't want to die..."
He hugged his granddaughter a little tighter, "You won't die."
Ding Zhao frowned and said, "In life, you will always encounter ups and downs. A small amount of diarrhea will not kill you."
More than a quarter of an hour later, Liu and Ling'er came in with two ends of poached eggs in sugar water, four eggs in each bowl.
Ding Zhuang and Ding Zhao were hungry and thirsty, so they picked up the bowl and ate in several mouthfuls.
After eating, Ling'er put away the bowl, rolled up the quilt and went to another room to rest.
There were only three of them and an eagle left in the house.
Ding Xiang first used her small body to block Feifei from behind and said, "Only after I got sick this time did I realize the importance of that ginseng. If I save a little, I won't be so scared."
Ding Zhuang also regretted it very much. It would be great if I could leave a small piece of ginseng, even one piece. Seeing how quickly Mrs. Zhu recovered, that is a good thing that can save lives.
Ding Xiang looked at Ding Zhuang, "Grandpa, don't be impulsive, just listen to me..."
She repeated the reason she had thought up before, "I have thought of all the processes, and I guarantee nothing will happen."
Ding Zhuang was not so excited this time. He still shook his head and refused, "It's too dangerous, I don't agree."
Ding Zhao said, "You still haven't thought about it. What if a wild animal runs into the stone puddle?"
Ding Xiang said, "That rocky pit is deep and steep. Except for birds that can fly in and snakes that can crawl in, no other wild animals can get down, and they will fall to death if they do. If a snake crawls in, Feifei can clean it up. Master, I’m only going this once. Even if I can’t find ginseng, I can just get Ganoderma lucidum, which can save my life at a critical moment.”
He also threatened him, "I am very weak now, and a small cold may kill me. Sister Fang is very weak, and she died of cold. And the rest of the family, what if something happens to you? I don't want anything to happen to you. .”
Ding Zhuang's hands were shaking. He was unwilling to put his granddaughter in danger, and he was also afraid that his granddaughter would be like Zhu Fang and die in a cold weather.
If there had been that kind of ginseng, An An would not have died.
He also has his son and grandson, and he doesn't want anything to happen to them.
Ding Xiang hugged his arm and said, "Everything is not inexhaustible. It will disappear one day, including blessings. While I am still blessed, even if there is an accident, you can keep me safe."
Thank you Jane and Rose for your reward, and thank you dear friends for all your support.
