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

Seeing Xu Shu's unhappy expression, even though Wu Yong didn't understand the current situation, he still followed Xu Shu out obediently. It was not until they were far away from the county magistrate's mansion that Wu Yong spoke cautiously: "What's wrong?"

"You've been tricked." Xu Shu snorted, without further explanation, and only asked, "Don't you want to go to Shiqiao Village? Do you want to go?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Yong's eyes lit up. He had wanted to go to Shiqiao Village for a long time, so he hurriedly called the driver, "Go and get the carriage."

When the horse was brought, Wu Yong was about to get on the carriage happily, but Xu Shu stopped him again: "Lend me the horse, I'll go ahead. If Xiao Ran comes looking for you later, tell him I'm gone and he doesn't need to come."

Wu Yong uttered "ah" and wanted to say something, but Xu Shu had already climbed onto the horse, untied the bridle between the horse and the carriage, whipped the horsewhip, and galloped away at a rapid speed.

Wu Yong shouted twice from behind, and when he saw the man walking further and further away, he sighed and called to the driver, "You, go back to the restaurant and get another horse. I'll be waiting for you here."

The coachman was also confused, but he quickly agreed and ran back to the restaurant to get the horse.

As soon as the driver left, Xiao Ran rushed out and asked as soon as he saw him, "Xu Shu, where is Xu Shu?"

Wu Yong saw that he looked panicked, and although he didn't understand why, he still repeated what Xu Shuliu had said.

Wu Yong is a businessman. Perhaps he is more flexible in business than Xiao Ran, but when it comes to scheming and scheming, he is no match for Xiao Ran, the official fox.

He was also a sentimental man, and was really moved by "The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea" staged by Xu Shu. Although he felt a little uncomfortable when the maid asked him to write the donation amount, he did not think too much about it.

So at this moment, he really didn't understand why Xu Shu suddenly broke up with Xiao Ran. But even if Xiao Ran was the boss who paid, Wu Yong still preferred his brothers.

Seeing Xiao Ran's bad face, Wu Yong couldn't help but said, "My brother said he was plotted against. He was talking about you. I mean, you are a county magistrate, how can you plot against us common people?"

Xiao Ran didn't get angry when he heard this, but laughed: "Common people? Are you talking about yourself or Xu Shu?"

"I was talking about me and Xu Shu, what's wrong? Is that wrong?" Wu Yong was also a little unhappy with his attitude. If he hadn't thought about the fact that the money had not been settled yet, he would have cursed at him long ago.

Xiao Ran stopped talking.

If Xiao Ran had not seen the note left by Xu Shu, he might have slightly agreed with Wu Yong's words. But now he really disagrees with them.

Xu Shu clearly knew nothing, but he could tell from the fact that he threatened everyone to raise funds that what he was most concerned about at the moment was the border war. This was enough to show how scheming this person was.

But Xu Shu also left the word "crossbow".

Crossbows are not common in the military due to their sophisticated structure and high cost. They are more often used as concealed weapons to kill enemies with one strike when they are least prepared.

It's impossible that Xu Shu didn't know about this kind of thing, but he didn't leave any sword or armor, but left a crossbow. Could it be that he had some unique ideas for this weapon?

If it were someone else, Xiao Ran would just think he was exaggerating, but if it was Xu Shu, hadn't he seen enough of Mr. Xu's ingenuity in the past few days?

Especially the paper speaker with sound amplification effect, which can be made with just a piece of large paper. It has no cost and is very useful.

But Xiao Ran just couldn't figure out what new tricks this crossbow could have. He scratched his head, not understanding what it meant. He felt as if his heart was being gnawing at by thousands of ants, and he felt uneasy.

He couldn't help but think of the day when he told Ah Xi about his plan to raise funds from the powerful. Ah Xi said nothing and only asked him, "What do you think about Master Xu?"

He said he wanted to keep it a secret, so Ah Xi smiled and said, "Okay, I'll just teach you a lesson."

At that time, Xiao Ran just felt that A Xi was incomprehensible. Although Xu Shu was talented, he colluded with merchants and degenerated himself. His status was not as glorious as that of a guest in his house. He was so confused that his ending was destined to be short-lived and not a good one.

It seems so now.

It was obvious that he was the one who didn't end up well.

At this time, Qin Lianxi also came out of the gate. Seeing him standing there alone, he couldn't help but laugh at him: "Xiao Lang is really confused. The guests are still waiting in the yard. Who are you waiting for by the door?"

Xiao Ran pursed his lips, hearing the joking tone in Ah Xi's words, but he had no choice but to follow him back.

We must focus on the overall situation at the moment. As for Xu Shu, perhaps he can only apologize.

Wu Yong couldn't understand what the couple were doing, but he was very dissatisfied with Xiao Ran's attitude. When the driver brought the horse over again, he sat in the carriage and kept cursing all the way.

He didn't stop talking until he reached Shiqiao Village.

He called Xu Shu's name outside the fence, but saw Mu Jinghua coming out. He wondered for a moment: "Where is Brother Xu?"

Mu Jinghua pointed to the place where the house was being built on the back hill. Wu Yong understood and did not plan to chase him. Instead, he said to Mu Jinghua, "Brother Mu, I want to ask for some water to drink."

Mu Jinghua nodded, opened the fence to let him in, and turned to go to the kitchen to pour water.

Xu Shu rode his horse all the way to the back mountain, where the high mountains and vast seas and the breeze made him feel less depressed. He talked to Jiang Xiao for a few words, and then started moving bricks with everyone else.

Although he looked frail, he was incredibly strong. He could push the wooden cart carrying bricks and tiles ten times by himself without feeling any pain.

A big man saw him pushing the cart and couldn't help laughing: "Brother Xu, what's wrong with you today? You're suddenly working so hard to build the house. I'm afraid you've fallen in love with some girl or boy and are eager to get married."

Xu Shu had gradually gotten used to calling him "brother". He stopped what he was doing and smiled faintly: "I still don't have a crush on anyone."

But the next second, the driver Wu Yong's voice came from not far away, in a panic: "Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu, your little brother has been targeted by someone, and that person..."

The driver shouted while running, and when he arrived in front of Xu Shu, he was out of breath: "I want you..."

"Where?" Xu Shu's heart sank and he walked out.

The driver could only hurry to catch up, saying breathlessly, "He's still at your house. My young master is also here."

Hearing this, Xu Shu felt a little relieved. Although he had not figured out who was looking for Mu Jinghua, since Wu Yong was there, he thought things were not too bad.

He glanced at the out-of-breath coachman, jumped on the horse, and galloped away.

At this time, Jiang Xiao was carrying bricks back and found Xu Shu passing by him like a gust of wind. He was surprised and was about to ask the reason when he heard a big man say, "You said you don't have a lover, but you ran faster than anyone else."

The man saw Jiang Xiao and asked loudly, "Brother Jiang, do you want us to go and take care of the situation?"

Jiang Xiao was a little confused, but seeing Xu Shu's anxious look, he was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Leave a few people here to watch over it, and the rest of you follow me."

Immediately, several big men cheered, put down the bricks and tiles in their hands, and walked towards Jiang Xiao.

When Xu Shu arrived home, he heard a man's voice: "The indenture is clearly placed here. If you continue to make trouble, we will sue you."

Xu Shu frowned, thinking the voice was familiar for a moment, but he couldn't quite remember who it was.

But no matter who he was, Xu Shu reined in his horse, dismounted, took two quick steps, and without thinking twice, he went up and kicked the man.
