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

Although Li Zile thought so, he also knew what to say and what not to say. After all, he also wanted to leave a good impression in front of Xu Shu.

Xu Shu naturally had no idea what the man was thinking. It was a pity that he still hadn't realized that there were not only men and women in this world, but also a kind of creature called brothers.

After all, the ox cart is faster than people, and they soon arrived in the town. Xu Shu paid the fare, asked about the return time, and then pulled Mu Jinghua towards the clinic.

Thinking of the pitiful appearance of the boy, Xu Shu originally planned to accompany him throughout the whole process. However, as soon as he followed him in, the doctor glared at him and asked, "Who are you to him?"

"Brother." Xu Shushu lied without changing his expression.

Then, he was kicked out by the doctor with a look of disgust.

Xu Shu was a little confused. But thinking that different places have different customs, maybe the doctors here just don't allow others to see them, he soon felt relieved.

He saw a flower and plant illustration on the table in the outer hall and began to flip through it with little interest, reciting the names of the flowers and plants as he read. It was really boring.

Mu Jinghua actually came out not long after. He just noticed Xu Shu was reading a book, so he quietly walked to his side. Then he heard Xu Shu whispering "Hibiscus Flower"...

Mu Jinghua's eyes widened immediately, but he quickly realized that Xu Shu was not calling his name.

He pulled Xu Shu's sleeve anxiously, and after getting Xu Shu's attention, he quickly pointed at himself.

Xu Shu smiled and said, "I see you. Where's the doctor?"

When Mu Jinghua heard that he didn't understand what he meant, he pointed at the book and then at himself in panic.

Xu Shu obviously still didn't understand.

He had to go to work these days and was very lazy when he got home at night. The two of them usually only communicated through simple things like eating, washing dishes, brushing teeth, and sleeping. Xu Shu didn't teach the boy sign language anymore.

This has led to the current situation.

But it was still early and Xu Shu was bored, so he guessed seriously. His hard work paid off: "You said you are Hibiscus?"

The boy's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly.

"You mean the name?" Xu Shu understood much faster.

The boy nodded again.

Xu Shu looked at his sparkling eyes, which reflected his own figure clearly. There was simple happiness in them, and his smile became more genuine: "It sounds good."

Mu Jinghua blushed.

At this time, the doctor also came over and handed Xu Shu two medicine bags. On each bag was a piece of paper with some precautions written on it.

Xu Shu looked at the doctor who was obviously unwilling to say more, and was somewhat helpless: "How much is it in total?"

The doctor then snorted and said slowly, "Tonic medicine, heat-clearing and fire-removing medicine, and medical consultation, one tael of silver and twenty coins."

When Mu Jinghua heard the price, he was really scared and wanted to pull Xu Shu out. But he couldn't pull Xu Shu, and because he was so small, in the eyes of Xu Shu and the doctor, he was grabbing Xu Shu's clothes and acting like a spoiled child.

Xu Shu rubbed his head, handed the money to the doctor, and asked, "Do you accept medicinal herbs?"

The doctor took the money and took notes. He didn't even look up when he heard the words, and he was still very frugal with his words: "What?"

"Ginseng." Xu Shu took out the fifty-year-old ginseng from the bamboo basket and handed it to the doctor. "It's about fifty years old."

This ginseng is very valuable in the end times, and it was difficult to buy it according to Xu Shu's financial resources at that time. But his institute has the tradition of giving out year-end bonuses.

The money was definitely not easy to use, so the leaders decided to use the research results of each department as the year-end bonus. As a result, Xu Shu got a lot of good things from the Department of Life Sciences.

But even so, he only had two ginsengs on hand.

He originally planned to use ginseng to establish a relationship with the herbal medicine shop in the town so that he could do business in the future.

But life is difficult now and doing things requires money, so Xu Shu had to reluctantly give up the tree and use only one first.

In this chaotic world, precious medicinal materials like ginseng are hard to come by, so he should be able to get a good price.

Sure enough, when the doctor heard the word ginseng and year, he raised his eyes, and after seeing the real thing, his eyes widened.

"This... this, are you planning to sell it?" Qi Huairen was a little unsure about what to say. Seeing Xu Shu nod, he felt his heart surge, and immediately slammed the table and said, "One price, three hundred taels."

Xu Shu was also surprised. He didn't expect that this taciturn doctor would be so clear about the price.

Three hundred taels was a very acceptable price for Xu Shu.

But he saw that the doctor seemed to be easy to bully, so he narrowed his eyes and started to talk nonsense: "I went to the south of the city to ask, but the price was not this."

Qi Huairen was shocked when he heard this. He didn't like arguing with others. He had already offered the highest price. How could the old man Zhang in the south of the city offer a higher price?

Qi Huairen glanced at Xu Shu suspiciously. Seeing that the young man looked calm and didn't seem to be lying, he hesitated and said, "Add another ten taels at most."

Seeing his gnashing teeth, Xu Shu realized that the price was indeed very fair, so he stopped forcing him: "Deal."

He left the ginseng behind and received 310 taels of silver. This was too much, so Xu Shu only took 10 taels of silver, and the remaining 300 taels were in banknotes.

The face value of the silver note was at least fifty taels, and Mu Jinghua had never seen it before, but he just glanced at it curiously and quickly turned his head away.

However, the image of Xu Shu in Mu Jinghua's mind suddenly became more majestic and taller.

Xu Shu counted the price and was in a good mood. Seeing the doctor looking at the ginseng with a complicated expression, he said indifferently: "I plan to do some medicinal materials business in the future. In view of your help this time, I will give you a discount next time you come."

Qi Huairen frowned and said, "You are doing the medicinal materials business, are you planning to go into the mountains to collect herbs?"

He subconsciously advised: "Although this is a way to make money, it will definitely require you to search deep in the mountains and forests. Whether you get anything depends entirely on luck. If you accidentally run into a big insect or a wild wolf, you could lose your life."

Seeing Xu Shu just smiling but not saying anything, Qi Huairen felt helpless: "You young people all have high aspirations. Well, I can't persuade you anymore."

Seeing that he stopped talking, Xu Shu thanked him slowly and took Mu Jinghua out to leave.

Mu Jinghua was obviously frightened by the doctor's words. After being dragged to the town by Xu Shu, he was still a little panicked, but he couldn't speak to persuade. Even if he could, he was not in the position to do so.

The only thing he could do was to get closer to Xu Shu.

However, Xu Shu still remembered that the boy said his name was Mu Jin Hua. While looking for a stall selling candied haws, he asked, "Mu Jin Hua is homophonic with your name?"

The boy came back to his senses after hearing the voice and nodded, but soon frowned again and shook his head slowly. In fact, it was only somewhat similar.

If you compare Mu Jinhua and Mu Jinghua carefully, you will find that the difference is actually quite big.

But he didn't mind Xu Shu calling him by the name of hibiscus. There used to be a hibiscus tree in their village, growing next to his land.

Every time at noon when the sun was at its brightest, Mu Jinghua would see the trees full of gorgeous flowers, and his fatigue and hunger seemed to be temporarily forgotten.

But the stepmother often scolded this flower to her father, saying that it was unlucky, blooming in the morning and falling in the evening, and that it was a short-lived ghost. After scolding, she would also look at Mu Jinghua meaningfully.

After saying it so many times, my father became impatient and found a few men to dig up the tree that day.

But Mu Jinghua never thought it was Mu Jin's fault.

He was just a little worried, what if Xu Shu didn't like this flower either?
