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

Mu Jinghua prepared three dishes and a soup for dinner. He added some lean meat to the soup, making it very flavorful.

Xu Shu praised the drink after taking a sip. His jokes in the morning also sounded more real: "Xiao Mujin, you are really good at cooking. Are you interested in selling food in town?"

But as soon as Xu Shu finished speaking, he felt something was wrong. There were only two people at home now, and Mu Jinghua's small arms and legs made it very difficult for him to cook. If he made a big pot of rice to sell... No way, if he was too tired to grow taller, it would be troublesome.

Hearing him shaking his head and saying no, Mu Jinghua was a little disappointed. He also wanted to make money to help Xu Shu share some of the burden, at least to make up for what he had eaten these days. But Xu Shu obviously didn't mean to do that. He gave him money a few days ago to spend. Mu Jinghua couldn't help but sigh, wondering if Xu Shu would not have enough money if he spent money like water.

Xu Shu didn't notice Mu Jinghua's little thoughts. After dinner, he went to the kitchen to boil a pot of hot water for Mu Jinghua to soak his feet. Qi Huairen told him to soak in hot water more often, which would help dissolve the blood stasis.

Mu Jinghua sat on the bed while Xu Shuze brought a small stool and sat on it to add hot water. He rolled up his sleeves and did it himself, with his brows lowered and his expression serious, as if what he was doing was not a trivial matter like adding water, but something important that concerned a great cause.

Xu Shu deliberately didn't get his hair cut these days, and his hair finally grew a little longer, barely reaching his shoulders. Normally, he found it too troublesome and just tied it up with a rope. Of course, this was difficult for a straight man like him, so he asked Mu Jinghua for help.

Mu Jinghua looked at the red rope at the end of his hair. It was a color he had chosen deliberately for his own selfish reasons while Xu Shu couldn't see. He had a narrow vision and couldn't even recognize a few colors, but red was the most beautiful color he had ever seen.

In the past, he saw that when girls and boys in the village got married, they would hang a red ribbon around their waists with a small bell tied to the end of the ribbon. When the wind blew, the ribbon would flutter in the wind, causing the bell to jingle.

Mu Jinghua couldn't help but be dazzled. At that time, he would still fantasize about his future husband. He imagined himself wearing the red belt. He could do without the bell and follow his husband home. He didn't ask to marry a rich man, he just wanted to do as his father said - ask him to love me.

Later, after his father passed away, he no longer had such thoughts. But at this moment, Mu Jinghua looked at Xu Shu and saw him adding water for him seriously, as if he was the only one in his heart and eyes. The desire that had been suppressed for so long finally swelled, and he really wanted to ask him to love me.

I really want to... ask him to love me...

Xu Shu tested the water temperature, looked up and told Mu Jinghua to try it, but saw Mu Jinghua looking at him with a complicated expression. His eyes were sad, as if he was longing for something, but afraid, and didn't dare to think, say or touch.

Xu Shu was stunned. He found that his heart was beating abnormally again, but he didn't care about it. Instead, he asked Mu Jinghua: "What's wrong? Your feet hurt?"

Mu Jinghua came back to his senses, met Xu Shu's gaze, lowered his head uncomfortably, and then slowly shook his head.

Xu Shu urged him to soak his feet quickly, and he ran to the yard alone to get some fresh air.

He didn't understand why, but he subconsciously fled. He looked at the bright moon in the sky, covered his pounding heart, and murmured in a low voice: "What's wrong with me? Is this a heart attack?"

When the end of the world came, Xu Shu lost contact with his parents. After Xu Hua died, he was disheartened and spent a long time in depression, either chopping zombies or people every day. Later, he entered the research institute, where he was busy doing experiments and being experimented on every day, which made him a little popular.

However, the human experiments he had done and the experimental drugs he had drunk, although originally intended to enhance physical fitness and had been fully proven by animal experiments, there was no guarantee that there would be no side effects. If he got a heart disease, with the backward medical technology in ancient times, it was unknown whether Qi Huairen could cure it.

It wouldn't be a big deal if he died, but the child would be left alone, unable to speak, and who knows how many people would bully him.

Should he consider making a will, as a safeguard for his children? Anyway, he has no relatives or friends in this world, so giving all his things to Mu Jinghua would be good to ensure that he is safe and happy.

No, I should find some time tomorrow to find Qi Huairen and check his pulse.

Xu Shu waited for a while, and found that his heart was no longer pounding, so he reluctantly put his mind at ease and went back to the room to urge the child to sleep. He instinctively didn't want to ask why Mu Jinghua looked at him just now, as he always felt that this would seem to break something that shouldn't be touched, thus disrupting the current peaceful and stable situation.

Although it seemed that Mu Jinghua was saved by him, Xu Shu knew in his heart that he was actually the one who needed Mu Jinghua more.

He couldn't tie his hair, couldn't cook, didn't know how to do household chores, and didn't know the difference between the five grains. Although he had learned a lot from the village chief's family, it was very difficult for him to truly integrate into this world. And with his personality, if it weren't for Mu Jinghua, he might never have tried to integrate in his life.

It was Mu Jinghua who pulled him into this world, and he didn't want to hurt him or scare him because of his reckless behavior.

He hopes he is safe and happy, sincerely.

Mu Jinghua obviously had no intention of bringing it up, and the two of them tacitly kept what had just happened in their hearts, hoping that they could maintain the status quo as long as they didn't break it.

A dreamless night.

The next morning, after Xu Shu had breakfast, he went directly to the county magistrate's mansion. Mu Jinghua was alone at home. After he had cleaned up the dishes, he took a rag and cleaned the house from top to bottom. His feet were a little unsteady and his movements were a little clumsy. But he cleaned diligently and it wasn't very dirty.

As he was wiping, Du Xiaocao's voice came from outside the door: "Brother Mu, are you there?"

Mu Jinghua's eyes lit up when he heard that, and he hurried out on crutches to meet him.

When Du Xiaocao saw him coming out, she asked in a low voice, "Has Brother Xu left?"

Mu Jinghua was a little confused, but he still nodded. Then he saw Du Xiaocao suddenly became nervous. He took Mu Jinghua's hand and whispered to Mu Jinghua what he heard at home last night: "Big Brother Xu came to my mother to ask about Le Ge'er. It seems that he wants to marry him."

Mu Jinghua was struck by lightning. He opened his mouth but only managed a bitter smile.

Du Xiaocao hadn't seen his expression, and was afraid that he didn't believe her, so she hurriedly said, "I was afraid that I had heard wrongly, so after Brother Xu left, I asked my mother why Brother Xu was asking about Brother Le. My mother said, of course it was about getting married."

He did not ask his mother and then sighed and talked about his marriage, but asked Mu Jinghua somewhat at a loss: "Mu Ge'er, isn't it you that Xu Shu likes? Why does he want to marry Le Ge'er?"

Mu Jinghua looked at him, his mind spinning blankly. Le Ge'er was the one he met when he was washing clothes. At that time, he thought that Le Ge'er was the first one who spoke to him, and thought that they might be friends.

Now that I think about it, Le Ge'er didn't seem to like him very much at that time.

Is this the original reason?

It was he who usurped the magpie's nest and stole his Xu book.

His Xu Shu...
