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

Xu Shu thought he looked quite cute, and his eyes were a little gentle.

But he just looked at it for a while, then went back to the kitchen and boiled a pot of hot water.

As Xu Shu was not familiar with how to make a fire, he hesitated for a long time. When he returned to the house, the boy had just finished the last bite.

Xu Shu saw that he was chewing slowly, and knew that he was full. He couldn't help but find it funny. While cleaning up the dishes, he reminded him, "The kitchen has boiled water, you can take a bath."

Mu Jinghua blinked, but followed Xu Shu and stood up to help clear the dishes on the table.

Xu Shu was pleased by his obedient appearance and felt a little better. He let the boy follow him to the kitchen, but he didn't expect the boy to insist on washing the dishes.

But Xu Shu couldn't beat him.

It was because the young man couldn't speak, so no matter what he said, he would not respond. He would just look at him timidly with his round eyes, and then quickly lower his head, but he refused to let go of the bowl in his hands.

When Xu Shu saw him like this, he thought of the young man who was clinging to the blanket at the entrance of the village yesterday.

He was full of helplessness, but finally he gave in and handed the dishwashing task to the child. There were only two bowls anyway, and Xu Shu had also prepared detergent, so washing them wouldn't be tiring.

The young man seemed to have received a great blessing, and his movements became a little lighter.

The boy helped wash the dishes while Xu Shu went to boil water for bathing. Because there was a fire in the kitchen, it was warmer than the main house and the space was larger, so Xu Shu put the bathtub here.

It’s just that fetching water is a bit troublesome.

Shiqiao Village, Shiqiao Village, where there is a bridge there is naturally a river. Therefore, most villagers, except for the very rich, do not dig wells at home, but go to the river to fetch water every morning.

Xu Shu was not particularly rich, but he was strong. Even though his shabby thatched cottage was far from the river, he did not find it difficult to fetch a bucket of water.

Moreover, the weather was hot some time ago, so when he fetched water he could just bathe by the river, so a tank of water could often be used for a long time.

However, the weather has turned cooler recently, and there is a child in the family, so we will definitely need water in the future.

Xu Shu glanced at the water tank at home. He had just fetched some water this morning. A full tank of water was only enough for one person to take a bath, not to mention washing clothes and cooking... Xu Shu couldn't help but sigh.

I will go to the river to fetch some water later, and tomorrow I will go to the town to buy a water tank. When I build a new house, I will definitely dig a well at home.

After the boy finished washing the dishes and Xu Shu adjusted the water temperature, he smiled at him and said, "Come and take a bath. I'll get you some clothes."

He looked at the boy's already unsightly clothes and said with a smile, "You can just wear mine for now and throw this one away. I'll take you to town to buy you some clothes when I have time."

When Mu Jinghua heard Xu Shu's words, he froze.

Buy...clothes?

Shouldn’t... He looked at Xu Shu in confusion. This man shouldn’t be so nice to him.

He would also say that the man in front of him saved him in order to... marry him and have a concubine? Or he didn't marry him, but just bought him to have a child? That's why he would take care of him a little bit. After all, only when the body is well can it be used to have children.

But... Mu Jinghua looked at Xu Shu, such a handsome man. Even though he was living in poverty now and even though he was wearing a coarse cloth robe, he had an indescribable nobleness around him. Why would such a man fall for him?

Xu Shu didn't give Mu Jinghua too much time to think. After saying this, he went back to the main house to get clothes and helped close the door.

Mu Jinghua was still confused, but since he had already decided to endure it, he didn't plan to do anything. He followed Xu Shu's instructions and cleaned himself inside and out.

During this time, Xu Shu knocked on the door and came in to deliver clean clothes, but he did not look away. He only smiled faintly when he met Mu Jinghua's eyes.

It seemed like she was comforting him.

Mu Jinghua took a shower nervously, wiped his body with a towel, but began to worry about the clothes Xu Shu sent him.

The material of the clothes was extremely good, even more silky and soft than the cotton clothes his younger brother wore, but the clothes were also very strange.

Mu Jinghua couldn't understand the structure at all, and could only barely know what was a top and what was a pair of pants. He fiddled with it for a long time, his face flushed red, before he wrapped himself in the strange clothes sent by Xu Shu, and then pushed the door back to the main house in panic.

Xu Shu had returned from fetching water from the river and was now reading in the main house.

The first time he came to this world, he woke up in the wild mountains. When he went down the mountain, he saw many medicinal herbs along the way.

At that time, Xu Shu thought that perhaps he could make a living by cultivating medicinal herbs in large quantities.

Later, when I learned that the world was in constant conflict, I became more resolute in this idea. Even if I couldn't make much money, it would be good to keep it to save lives.

So Xu Shu carefully bought a few medical books yesterday. They were all books that explained the properties of herbs, how to use them, and precautions. They were not too obscure to understand.

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, he slowly raised his eyes and saw the young man poking his little head out from the crack of the door.

He couldn't help but find it funny, so he laughed too and said, "It's cold outside, come in quickly."

Mu Jinghua was staring at the book in his hand. When he heard the voice, he looked up and met his smile. He was a little at a loss, but still walked in obediently and helped close the door.

Xu Shu saw that he was wearing pajamas that he had taken out of his backpack. It was clearly the smallest size that he could not wear, but when he wore it, he looked like a child who had stolen his father's clothes. The sleeves and pants were long.

Mu Jinghua awkwardly pulled his overlong trouser legs with both hands and walked slowly to Xu Shu, his ears red.

He thought, this man is actually literate. Could it be that his family has fallen on hard times and it is difficult for him to make a living, so they thought of rescuing him and making him a servant?

As for why I chose a guy like him... maybe it was because I saw him being bullied by a big guy yesterday and I couldn't bear it?

While Mu Jinghua was racking his brains, Xu Shu pulled him to sit next to him and said helplessly: "You can't even wipe your hair?"

Mu Jinghua was stunned when he heard this, and after coming to his senses, he quickly shook his head. But as soon as he shook his head to refuse, he couldn't help but sneeze.

Seeing him sneezing and shivering, Xu Shu had some wrong ideas, thinking that the boy had a fever again. He had given the boy antipyretic medicine last night, but the boy was too weak, so it was normal for his condition to recur.

Thinking of this, Xu Shu touched the boy's forehead.
