I traveled through time and space and found a mute boy: That’s enough, I feel sorry for him

Mu Jinghua didn't make a sound, but just frowned slightly, but the sharp-eyed Xu Shu quickly noticed it.

He softened his movements and spoke in a gentler tone: "Are these caused by needles?"

He saw a dense patch of needle holes on the boy's skinny back. Some places were even inflamed, red and swollen. It was shocking at first glance.

If you look at it more carefully, even the most cruel person in the world would feel heartbroken.

Especially the young boy, with such a good temper, how could anyone have the heart to treat him like this.

Xu Shu cursed this cannibalistic society eight hundred times in his heart.

When Mu Jinghua heard Xu Shu's question, he also remembered the injury on his back and nodded.

Those who were sold to a brothel had to be trained and educated before they could receive customers.

He resisted too vigorously and was severely beaten as soon as he entered. The bruises on his body were from that time.

But after this beating, Mu Jinghua felt pain all over his body, but he became even more fearless and made a big fuss.

It's just death.

Mu Jinghua thought so.

But the madam of the brothel still depended on him to make money, and was afraid that if he was injured, he would have difficulty receiving customers, so she changed her method and started pricking him with a needle.

At first, it was inserted into the gaps between the nails.

Later, because he was asked to practice piano and learn music, he was moved to his back. Mu Jinghua shuddered when he remembered the pain when his fingernails were pierced by a needle.

Seeing the boy's reaction, Xu Shu thought he had hurt him again, so he said softly, "I'll be gentler, bear with it, the wound is getting inflamed."

The boy was very obedient and stopped moving immediately.

There were few healthy spots on his body. Xu Shu spent a lot of effort to apply medicine, and he actually felt a little sad.

Xu Shu said with some annoyance: "Even in this state, you still dare not see a doctor. Do you think you will live long enough?"

Mu Jinghua was stunned and laughed at himself in his heart. Yes, he did think that he was too unlucky.

Seeing the boy was silent, Xu Shu seemed to have been wronged. He felt helpless. He softened his tone and said, "Is your leg injured? Do you need my help? Don't cook tomorrow, and don't wash the dishes. Look at your hands, they are almost rotten, don't you know..."

As Xu Shu was speaking, someone suddenly hugged him tightly around the waist.

He was a little surprised, then looked at the boy who was holding him, and reached out to touch the boy's soft head: "Okay, it's okay now."

"I'll buy you some candied haws tomorrow."

Although Xu Shu was not interested in what happened to this child in the past, he could guess something after seeing the wounds today. He thought with some self-mockery that maybe a careless person like him was considered a great good man in the young man's heart.

However, Xu Shu didn't mind being nicer to the boy. After all, he would be counting on him to help with cooking in the future.

He was planning to say a few more words of comfort to coax the boy, but the child actually let go of his hand on his own, with red eyes and ears.

But Xu Shu was relieved to see that he didn't cry, and handed the plate to him: "Wipe the wound on your leg yourself, there is still a lot of medicine, don't worry, and be careful not to scratch the wound."

After Xu Shu gave the instructions, he turned around and went out to wash his hands.

When he went back, he was somewhat surprised to find an indescribable atmosphere in the air.

Xu Shuben was a little puzzled, but when he saw the young man looking at him eagerly, he suddenly understood - he was afraid that the child really thought he was a good man.

But it seems to feel good to be admired by a child.

Moreover, this child is good-looking, with delicate features and round eyes that only stare at you. He is so cute.

Later, the guys from the wood shop also came. Xu Shu put benches and other things into the house. The originally empty main room suddenly became full, and his heart seemed to be full too.

-

Xu Shu kept his word and took Mu Jinghua to the town early the next morning. This time he chose to take the ox cart at the entrance of the village.

In the past, when he was alone and the restaurant opened late, he would just walk to the town as if it were a stroll, and he felt very comfortable.

But now he was taking this obviously malnourished child to see a doctor, and he certainly couldn't hold him while walking. What if something went wrong, such as hypoglycemia, and he fainted?

The ox carts at the entrance of the village only set out when they are full. Sometimes if you go too late, you will miss the ox cart.

They arrived early enough that they not only made it in time but were also able to choose a more comfortable seat.

After a while, people came one after another, and were stunned when they saw Xu Shu and Mu Jinghua.

Because Xu Shu was an outsider who settled in the village, with an extraordinary appearance and exaggerated short hair, in the first week after he arrived, he was stared at by countless villagers like a monkey. He was not used to it at first, but now he can basically take it easy.

He didn't pay attention to everyone's stares. He just greeted a few people he was familiar with and then stopped talking.

Mu Jinghua couldn't help but care.

He was born to be disliked and trampled upon by everyone. Now he finally met Xu Shu who treated him well. He didn't want to embarrass Xu Shu because of his own reasons.

But he couldn't speak and couldn't even take the initiative to explain.

He could only try his best to suppress his presence and hide behind Xu Shu.

Xu Shu thought he was afraid of seeing people, so he considerately moved his body and completely blocked the boy behind him.

After what he witnessed last night, the young man in Xu Shu's eyes was like dodder, the kind that would catch a cold for a long time if the slightest breeze blew.

There was nothing interesting to see on the ox cart, and soon someone spoke up: "Brother Xu, is the boy behind you your brother?"

Xu Shu looked at the person who was speaking. It turned out to be the boy who was teased in public that day for wanting to marry him. He felt helpless for a moment: "It's my younger brother."

Li Zile smiled, but couldn't help thinking in his heart - if he adopted a brother as his younger brother, he might want to raise him as his wife.

There are three genders in this world: male, female and boy. Boys look the same as men, but are much smaller than ordinary men. They can get pregnant and give birth to children just like women, and they all have a pregnancy mole between their eyebrows. The darker the color of the pregnancy mole, the easier it is to give birth.

But when he looked at him just now, the boy had a faint pregnancy mole and was skinny. It was obvious that he was not good at giving birth and had no good looks. Why did Xu Shu want to raise him?

He had heard a long time ago that Xu Shu was from a wealthy family outside the city. Although he was now in a state of poverty after encountering robbers on the road, he was only ten years old and had already bought some land to build a house, as was the case with the several baskets of charcoal he had received yesterday.

It's obvious that he is a capable man, but according to Xu Shu's conditions, how could he be interested in such stuff? Could it be... this is a plaything picked up from the mountains and used as a distraction when bored?

He had also heard a few things from people who said that wealthy families didn't like to go to brothels, and would usually find a clean one...which didn't cost much, as long as they would provide her with food, clothing, shelter and transportation.
