Because Qiu Yinong smelled good, she grabbed a handful of Qiu Yinong's hair, giggled, and soon closed her eyes and fell asleep.
The reason why the child did not cry or fall into the water was because the ghost of the female corpse was always protecting him.
"Master, there are no baby clothes. First, use the adult clothes to change the child's clothes. We can buy some when we get to the county later."
Zi Yao brought out a piece of clothing belonging to the captain of the ship and said to Qiu Yinong.
"Well, give her a bath, then we'll talk."
"Okay." Zi Yao had just held the child over when the child woke up instantly. When she saw that someone else had taken over, she burst into tears.
Qiu Yinong had no choice but to hold her in his arms again, take her to take a bath, and wrap her in the captain's clothes.
After a while, he fell asleep in Qiu Yinong's arms, sucking his thumb.
"Forget it, I'll hold the child." In order to prevent the child from crying again, Qiu Yinong refused Qing Yuan and the others' attempt to take the child.
A villager laughed and said, "This kid is quite clever. He knows who is in charge."
"The baby is blessed, and the female corpse can rest in peace." The female corpse was lying on the deck, covered with a piece of clothing. When exposed to the sun, some smell was emitted.
It really doesn't smell very good.
Qiu Yinong held the baby girl in one hand and took out a porcelain bottle from the cloth bag with the other hand.
Sprinkle the powder around the corpse, and instantly the corpse smell will dissipate, and a fresh fragrance will spread. The more the sun shines, the stronger the fragrance will be.
Three hours later, the ship docked at the pier.
Qiu Yinong and his group did not get off the boat, but sent Bao Shun on horseback to notify Guo Youcai to bring people to escort the prisoners.
Qing Yuan went to the side and rented another boat. Half an hour later, Guo Youcai brought all the yamen runners to escort the person.
"Uncle Guo, how is the disaster situation in Wen County?" Qiu Yinong walked forward holding the child.
Guo Youcai smiled at Qiu Yinong and replied, "Fortunately, the water level in the city was only up to the knees. It has almost receded now, only reaching around the ankles."
"Your fifth brother is here too. It's just right. I told you in my last letter that the government office is short of staff. Is your fifth brother still willing to come and work there?"
Qiu Yinong looked at Qiu Hanchi. Qiu Hanchi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "If Uncle Guo likes me, I'm willing to do it."
"That's great. You can stay today." Guo Youcai said with a smile.
Qiu Hanchi thought about it and nodded, "Okay."
"Okay, okay, Yier, who is this girl?" Guo Youcai had already noticed that Qiu Yinong was holding a baby in her arms.
Qiu Yinong briefly recounted what happened, and Guo Youcai was full of respect for his mother.
"I'll arrange for her mother to be properly buried later. What about the child?"
Guo Youcai wanted to arrange a place for the child, but Qiu Yinong said, "Register her with the government first. If anyone comes looking for her, have her family come to Taohua Village to take her back."
"If no one comes looking for her, I'll just keep her for the time being."
"Okay, we'll register the child later." Guo Youcai nodded, and the group got off the boat while talking.
Qiu Hanchi was not afraid of bad luck, so he carried the female corpse off the boat and placed it on a cart.
The Qiu family members are now immune to all poisons. If someone comes to hug them, they have to give them detoxification pills, which is troublesome.
"Go home later to freshen up." Guo Youcai said worriedly.
Qiu Hanchi did not argue, but smiled and said that he would go back to his third brother's courtyard to freshen up later.
Guo Youcai nodded, and Qiu Yinong then sent the robbers to the yamen, and then drew a picture for the baby girl, which drew praise from everyone and was so lifelike.
Then he and Qiu Hanchi went to the courtyard. When they arrived at the courtyard, they had not yet had time to open the door.
A figure suddenly rushed out and hugged Qiu Hanchi's waist directly: "Qiu Lang, you can't abandon my daughter. She is yours now. If you don't want her, what will happen to her in this life?"
Qiu Hanchi froze, and Qiu Yinong also frowned. Although Qiu Hanchi was not afraid of corpse poison, he was contaminated with real corpse gas and poison.
"Girl, please let my fifth brother go first. You can't just open your mouth and bite people randomly!"
Qiu Yinong spoke in a gentle voice.
The woman didn't appreciate it. She looked up at Qiu Yinong and started crying, "I won't let go. If I let go, he'll run away again. How will I go find someone?"
Qiu Yinong didn't get angry, she chuckled and said, "First, you're holding the wrong person, and second, my fifth brother just held a corpse. If you don't mind, my fifth brother won't suffer any loss. Please do as you please."
When the woman heard the word "corpse", she let go of her hand instantly as if she had been electrocuted.
Another couple came over and looked at Qiu Yinong and his sister with embarrassment.
"Qingyuan, go boil water for the Fifth Young Master to bathe." Qiu Yinong ordered Qingyuan.
The little baby woke up, and Qiu Yinong said softly, "Little baby, be good and let Aunt Ziyao hold you for a while. I have something to take care of, okay?"
The little baby blinked his eyes, moved his mouth, and stretched out his hand towards Zi Yao.
Zi Yao was surprised that the little guy was so smart.
Taking the little baby, Qiu Yinong looked at the two of them and said, "I guess you must be my third brother's former teacher, the headmaster of the academy."
"Yes, I'm Cai Hongru, and this is my wife, Wei. My daughter recognized the wrong person just now. It's our fault."
"However, your third brother and my daughter had physical contact, this is beyond doubt."
Qiu Yinong raised her hand, and the neighbors around came over curiously. Cai Hongru was a little embarrassed and wanted to signal Qiu Yinong to go into the house to continue talking.
"Logically speaking, you've coached my third brother for several months, so we should come and thank him in person."
Cai Hongru's eyes lit up, but before he could say anything in joy, Qiu Yinong continued, "But you've changed your mind. Seeing that my third brother is well educated and has a chance of getting into the top three, you've become disgusted."
"If you had sent a matchmaker, my Qiu family would have looked up to your Cai family, but you're just thinking of using evil intentions."
"My third brother found out. You know exactly who took your daughter's virginity. But instead of looking for the culprit, you're trying to blame my third brother."
"Do you really think my Qiu family is a soft persimmon?"
Qiu Yinong was really angry this time. Cai Hongru's face looked ugly and he glanced at Zi Yao.
He knew this woman. It was she who came to his house last time and took Qiu Hanyan away.
"Miss, I know that your Qiu family is acquainted with County Magistrate Guo, but I can't confuse right and wrong!"
"That day, your third brother was drunk and mistakenly entered my daughter's room. They had physical contact. This woman then asked County Magistrate Guo to come and take Han Yan away."
"We didn't say anything and let this woman take Han Yan away."
"If this woman is already engaged to your third brother, we are not unreasonable. As long as Han Yan is willing to marry my daughter as his equal wife, we can accept it."
"It's a joke." Qiu Yinong laughed out of anger.
The people around started pointing and whispering.
"This family does have close ties with County Magistrate Guo's family. I've seen County Magistrate Guo invite this scholar to his home for drinks more than once."
