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

It is actually very simple to understand Ye Shijing's intention.

Because Xu Shu also recognized this man as the patron who passed by the town that day and was driven out of Yichun Tower.

And that day was the first day he rescued Mu Jinghua on the mountain.

It is not difficult to guess that Mu Jinghua was bought by Ye Shijing, but she would rather die than obey him, and tried every means to escape, but she collapsed on the edge of the wild mountain due to exhaustion, and was seen by Xu Shu. After that, they ran into Ye Shijing in the town and had a conflict. Ye Shijing was resentful, and while asking around for Xu Shu's whereabouts, he colluded with Yichunlou to get Mu Jinghua's indenture.

As you can imagine, Ye Shijing succeeded.

It’s not difficult to find out where Xu Shu went.

It was not difficult to persuade Yichunlou. All we had to do was make the people in Yichunlou believe that Xu Shu would definitely redeem Mu Jinghua and was willing to pay a high price.

Thinking of this, Xu Shu couldn't help but laugh and sighed, "You think highly of me."

Five hundred taels was indeed nothing to him, but he never liked being controlled by others.

When Xu Shu arrived in the town, he went straight to Yichun Tower. He walked quickly, and when he arrived, it was still dark and Yichun Tower was deserted.

Xu Shu raised his eyebrows, looked at the plaque, and walked in.

The building was not too smoky, but just a little dull. There were bright red coarse cloth and satin and high-hanging lanterns everywhere, giving it a somewhat strange beauty.

It looks like an old house haunted by a female ghost, Xu Shu thought.

Then he saw a heavily made-up woman waving a handkerchief and walking towards him with her waist twisted: "My patron, do you want to listen to some music or..."

Xu Shu guessed that this was the madam, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I want the best piano player, and a pot of flower wine."

"Okay." The madam took the purse handed over by Xu Shu and shouted upstairs with a smile: "Wanbai, bring a pot of flower wine."

"Got it." A man in simple clothes, no, it should be said that he was a boy, walked out slowly. He had long hair, delicate features, and thin eyebrows like distant mountains, showing a bit of coldness. However, because of his high nose bridge, he looked more heroic.

It's a good-looking one, Xu Shu thought, and took two steps forward and followed the man into the room.

-

After Xu Shu left, Mu Jinghua had no desire to sleep at all, so he simply sat up, opened the window, and stared blankly in the direction where Xu Shu had left, then looked up at the sky from time to time.

The moon hadn't risen yet. He lowered his eyes in disappointment, staring for a long while, then continued to look in the direction Xu Shu had left.

He felt neither sad nor happy, just confused, at a loss, and powerless.

A gust of wind blew, ruffling his hair and blowing away the piece of paper he had left on the table.

Mu Jinghua hurriedly got out of bed to pick it up, not even bothering to put on his shoes. He took the paper in his hand and couldn't help but read it carefully twice.

The handwriting on it was vigorous and vigorous. It was copied by Xu Shu for him to practice calligraphy. He had already read it a hundred times and learned all the characters on it, but he still couldn't understand its meaning.

But at this moment, as he looked at the words that were so powerful that they could be seen through the paper, he suddenly felt that he could also own those many little birds.

He didn't want to be so helpless anymore.

Perhaps only in this way can we continue to live.

Mu Jinghua quickly stood up, put on his shoes, pushed the door open and ran towards Li Zile's house.

As long as Li Zile is not with Xu Shu, he will have a chance!

Mu Jinghua seldom ran like this. The wind blew across his cheeks, which was a little itchy, but made him feel like he was about to fly.

But the next moment, a hand grabbed him and held him tightly, and a familiar voice came from behind: "I finally caught you, Mu Jinghua."

Mu Jinghua was forced to stop. Without looking back, he knew that the man was Ye Shijing. He felt suddenly deflated and felt as if his wings were broken when he took off. He fell from the sky into the abyss in an instant and was shattered to pieces.

-

Xu Shu didn't plan to waste time on Du Wanbai. After listening to the tune for a while, he stood up and walked out with an impatient look.

He naturally wanted to take this opportunity to talk to the madam, but he didn't expect Du Wanbai to stop him: "Sir, give me another chance."

Du Wanbai's voice was light, but with a hint of bitterness. Xu Shu turned around to look at him and found that he was biting his lips and looking at him with a pale face.

Xu Shu subconsciously thought of Mu Jinghua's injury, couldn't help but sigh, and sat back down.

When Du Wanbai saw him sitting down, a trace of relief flashed across his eyes. When he hurriedly touched the pipa, he heard Xu Shu ask: "Are you not doing well?"

Du Wanbai was stunned for a moment, staring at Xu Shu blankly. After a long while, he laughed at himself and said, "If you don't intend to redeem me, you'd better not ask these questions."

Hearing this, Xu Shu began to think about it. He was not living well. He frowned, and suddenly changed his mind and said, "There is a chance."

Xu Shu's original plan was very simple. He wanted to understand the transaction between Yichunlou and Ye Shijing, offer a higher stake to break the deal, and then go and settle accounts with Ye Shijing after getting Mu Jinghua's indenture.

But after seeing Du Wanbai, he suddenly had another idea: "Who is your boss?"

Du Wanbai was a little hesitant when she heard this, but she still spoke: "It's the madam."

Xu Shu was a little surprised when he thought of the heavily made-up woman, but he nodded. He looked at Du Wanbai and said, "In short, I want to buy this building and all of your indentures."

"But I don't have much money." Xu Shu raised his eyebrows and looked at Du Wanbai, "So, I need your help."

"If you buy this place, I can return all your indentures to you and give you your freedom. Of course, it is not easy to make a living in troubled times. If you don't want to leave, I can..."

Before Xu Shu finished speaking, Du Wanbai suddenly knelt down in front of him: "With your words, I have nothing to ask for. What do you need me to do?"

Xu Shu waved his hand: "Just call me Xu Shu."

……

Because he changed his mind at the last minute and needed to make more preparations, Xu Shu did not wait until early the next morning to go home. Instead, he listened to Du Wanbai playing music for half the night, and when he could not bear it any longer, he left Yichun Tower.

Before leaving, he specially found the madam, gave her an extra bag of silver, and said with a smile: "I like Wanbai. I will only want him when I come next time."

The madam weighed it, a smile immediately broke out on her face, and she said it was no problem.

Seeing that she believed it, Xu Shu turned around and left.

He hurried back home, and when he arrived at the village, he found that the night was falling, the moon was high in the sky, and a cold wind was blowing. He felt uneasy.

Before entering the house, I saw that the door was wide open and the windows of the main house were shaking in the wind, as if they would fall down at any time.

Xu Shu's heart sank and he hurried into the house to check. Sure enough, Mu Jinghua was no longer in the house.
