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

Xu Shu took the boy home and took out some external injury medicine from his backpack to apply it on him.

The boy didn't dodge or evade, and was so well behaved that Xu Shu couldn't bear it. He couldn't help but slow down his movements to coax him: "It's okay, it won't hurt after a while after applying the medicine."

Mu Jinghua nodded obediently and smiled at him.

He seemed to be in a good mood. If he wasn't so calm, Xu Shu would have doubted that Mu Jinghua would be swinging his feet excitedly at this moment.

But although it wasn't so outrageous, his current state was also very strange. He was beaten all over but didn't seem to feel any pain. Instead, he was very excited and smiled sweetly at him.

Xu Shu felt disappointed, thinking that the boy must have been really upset. Although the child's clothes were still intact and he should not have been bullied, this kind of thing could not be ignored as long as it did not get to the final step.

Xu Shu was thinking about taking the child to the town to see Qi Huairen after taking the medicine. It just so happened that Wu Yong's carriage was in the village, or he could take Mu Jinghua there on horseback, which would be faster.

Mu Jinghua pulled Xu Shu's clothes and gestured to him, "Xu Shu, knife."

Xu Shu frowned in confusion: "What knife?"

Mu Jinghua pointed to the knife on the table, which was the knife that Xu Shu had used to cut Ye Shijing's tongue just now.

Xu Shu killed people and zombies in the apocalypse, and he didn't shy away from anything. He just thought that it was iron after all, and maybe he could sell it for some money, so he took it back.

Seeing Mu Jinghua asking, he felt that he was a bit abrupt. Although he had already wiped the blood off the knife, it was normal for Mu Jinghua to be scared after all, as he had seen human blood.

Xu Shu glanced at the knife next to him, covered it with a cloth, and coaxed him: "Don't look at it, it's dirty."

Mu Jinghua looked away in disappointment. After a while, he couldn't help but gesture to Xu Shu, "Xu Shu, amazing."

Seeing that he still had the heart to give him a thumbs-up, Xu Shu pinched the boy's hand and shook it: "Doesn't your face hurt?"

After he reminded her, Mu Jinghua seemed to remember the injury on her body. She couldn't help but frowned, then nodded to Xu Shu very seriously and gestured, "It hurts."

Seeing that he still felt the pain, Xu Shu thought that he should be fine, and sighed helplessly: "You only remember the pain now?"

Mu Jinghua felt a little embarrassed. The situation just now was very chaotic. When Ye Shijing and the others captured him and took him to the back mountain, he had nothing in his mind. He felt no grievance, no despair. He only knew how to resist, resist instinctively.

He didn’t pursue much in the past. He just wanted to take his father away from his cruel father and live a peaceful life.

But later his father passed away in a hurry, without leaving him a single word. He then remembered what his father had often said before he died. Not much, just one sentence: "We come from purity and we go from purity."

He didn't understand before and thought his father was telling him to keep his innocence, so he would rather be beaten to death by the people in Yichun Tower than become a prostitute.

After being beaten so many times, the pain no longer matters. The only thing in my mind is “the worst that can happen is death”.

But after escaping from Yichun Tower, he couldn't help but feel hope, especially after being rescued by Xu Shu. He not only wanted to live, but also wanted to live a clean and upright life.

At this moment, Mu Jinghua still naively thought that even if no one knew, even if everyone cursed him for having a bad reputation and said that he had a dirty body, as long as he was innocent and clean, the rumors would be shattered.

But he was so humble and insignificant that when Ye Shijing slapped him, everything in front of him suddenly went dark. He couldn't see at night to begin with, and after being slapped, he couldn't see even more.

Only a trace of consciousness kept him awake, making him run, run for his life.

But he only ran two steps before the familiar bamboo scent surrounded him again. Xu Shu seemed to hold him in his arms and turn around, and said something to him again, but Mu Jinghua was powerless to listen. Only one name lingered in his mind - "Xu Shu".

Xu Shu quickly let him go, covered his eyes, and covered his ears. Mu Jinghua didn't know what he was going to do, but he was always obedient.

But Xu Shu walked away.

Perhaps he was thinking too much and had become delusional. Mu Jinghua was very sensitive to the smell of Xu Shu. He could smell it even when he was far away.

Mu Jinghua opened his eyes in panic, wanting to look for him, but saw Xu Shu holding a short blade in his hand. The moonlight shone on the short blade, emitting a cold light.

He heard Ye Shijing's miserable cry for mercy and saw Xu Shu approaching Ye Shijing step by step. He thought in his heart - Fortunately, he can't speak, so as not to make such an ugly sound and cause Xu Shu's disgust.

He had no pity in his heart, but was very calm. He thought, if it weren't for Ye Shijing, he wouldn't have been sold to Yichun Tower; if it weren't for Ye Shijing, Xu Shu wouldn't have known that he was a guy who escaped from the brothel; if it weren't for Ye Shijing, Xu Shu might not have needed to pay the five hundred taels to Yichun Tower...

That was a full five hundred taels. When he was sold, he only gave those cheap parents fifty taels.

Xu Shu has a good personality and is a kind person. Even though he is engaged, she cannot bear to see him go back to Yichun Tower alone to suffer. But Ye Shijing sees through this, and he makes a huge request and plots against Xu Shu.

He will become Xu Shu's stigma, all because of Ye Shijing's fault. It would be great if Ye Shijing could die.

As soon as Mu Jinghua had this thought, Xu Shu took action. He moved quickly and skillfully. After a flash of cold light, Ye Shijing whimpered and fell silent.

Mu Jinghua couldn't see clearly at night, he could only vaguely discern Ye Shijing's fear. That expression had appeared on his face before, helpless, desperate, unwilling to die, unwilling to give up...

Mu Jinghua couldn't help but curl his lips, remembering what the book said, "evil will be punished with evil", maybe that was exactly the case.

So, go to hell...

"Okay." Xu Shu's gentle voice interrupted Mu Jinghua's recollection. Mu Jinghua looked up at him, and he tapped his forehead gently. "I've applied the medicine for you. Go to bed early. I have something else to do tomorrow."

Mu Jinghua hesitated for a moment, but still mustered up the courage to ask Xu Shu: "What's the matter?"

Xu Shu's action of putting away the medicine bottle paused, and he didn't know where to start. He touched the tip of his nose, and was thinking about whether to tell the truth to the child, but Mu Jinghua leaned close to his neck and sniffed gently.

Xu Shu's body stiffened, and he felt a little guilty for some reason: "What's wrong?"

Mu Jinghua withdrew his body, his expression serious, and subconsciously opened his lips and said "Yichun Tower".

Xu Shu was looking at him intently, so he naturally understood what he said. But when he saw the three words "Yichun Tower", his mind went blank and he felt even more guilty.

Mu Jinghua didn't ask any more questions, but gestured to him and said, "It's okay."

Xu Shu couldn't help but frown. How come everything was fine? Why didn't he ask him what he was doing at Yichunlou? Could he have misunderstood that he was going to drink wine?

No, although he did drink a little, that was not his point, he could explain it.

No, why should he explain to Mu Jinghua? She is not his wife. If he really explained it, it would feel weird.

But why didn't Mu Jinghua ask?

Wouldn't it be explained if I asked him?

Xu Shu was very conflicted.

Mu Jinghua was no longer in the mood to pay more attention. The situation was too chaotic just now and he didn't pay attention. Now that he had calmed down, he could smell that in addition to the most familiar bamboo leaf scent on Xu Shu's body, there was also a faint smell of rouge and powder mixed with a little bit of wine.

He was very familiar with this smell, it was the smell often found in Yichunlou.

But as a mute, unable to speak, Mu Jinghua's thoughts became much more gentle.

He remembered that he had originally asked Li Zile not to marry Xu Shu tonight, but he was kidnapped by Ye Shijing's group just after he left the house. Now Xu Shu was still engaged to Li Zile, so it seemed inappropriate for him to ask about it...

Moreover, Xu Shu has always been a gentleman. He must have gone to Yichun Tower tonight because of the matter of selling his indenture. There was no need to ask, and he believed Xu Shu.

Mu Jinghua calmed himself down, but Xu Shu saw him lowering his head, so he couldn't help but say first: "Don't be angry, Xiao Mujin, I went to Yichun Tower today...but it was because of the indenture."

"After all, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. I have an idea in my mind. If it works, I will buy this Yichun Building and open a restaurant for you. Is that okay?"
