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

When Mu Jinghua heard Xu Shu's words, his first thought was disbelief.

Although he didn't know how famous and prestigious Yichun Tower was in the town, he knew that not all the girls and boys in the building were like him, without a father or a mother to love them.

Even a girl who was two years older than him had a father who was a scholar, but even the scholar could not save her.

Yichunlou always says one thing to one person and another thing to another person. Even if it is a scholar, the madam dares to ask for an exorbitant price, directly asking for one thousand taels.

Even though the scholar had some wealth, he was born into an ordinary peasant family. How could he afford one thousand taels? He could only save some money every day and give it to the madam, asking her to take good care of his daughter.

But what did Xu Shu say now... Buying Yichun Tower? Wouldn't that cost ten thousand taels? And it would have to be gold? Maybe ten thousand taels wouldn't be enough?

Did Xu Shu do this for him? Is it difficult to redeem him...

Mu Jinghua was thinking too much and was distracted for a moment. Seeing him like this, Xu Shu knew that he didn't believe it, so he simply told him what he saw in the building. When he mentioned Du Wanbai, he paused and tried to tell the boy only the optimistic situation.

"Yichunlou is the largest brothel in town, and it has been around for at least ten years. It is not easy for me to take it down in three days. But with Du Wanbai's help, this will be much easier."

Xu Shu did not elaborate on how to make it more convenient. He just looked at the boy and said, "So I may be very busy in the next three days. It may not be realistic to send you to the village chief's house. Why don't you stay with Wu Yong? He will be here in the next few days..."

Before Xu Shu could finish his words, Mu Jinghua bumped into him. The young man's hands tightly wrapped around Xu Shu's waist and he shook his head slightly, his resistance very obvious.

But Xu Shu was not in a hurry and just waited silently.

It was not until Mu Jinghua realized that Xu Shu had no intention of indulging him this time that he let go of his hand in disappointment.

Xu Shu sighed and comforted Mu Jinghua: "I will try to come back as soon as possible. Be obedient."

Mu Jinghua was silent for a long time before he nodded in grievance.

Xu Shu sighed in his heart, but he knew that he couldn't help but feel reluctant now.

His goal now is not only to obtain Mu Jinghua's indenture contract, but to take over Yichun Tower directly, and the highest price is no more than five hundred taels.

The method is very simple. Just make the owner of the building think that the value of Yichun Building is no more than 500 taels, and the deal will be a success.

In fact, there are many ways to cause an industry to depreciate significantly, but it is still somewhat shocking that it has depreciated to such an extent in three days.

But Xu Shu had seen this kind of thing before. After all, he came from the end of the world and knew what a world-destroying natural disaster was.

What's more, Xu Shu still had the antigens and antibodies that the biologists had made based on the zombie serum.

The antigen has undergone rigorous biological clinical trials and some human experiments have also been conducted. Unfortunately, the experimental results consistently show that humans do not have immunity to zombie serum.

Naturally, a cure is still a long way off.

So those biologists transferred part of their research funds to human body modification, trying to enhance human physical defense.

Xu Shu thought back to the human body transformation program he had participated in and the mess of drugs he had taken. He was a little dazed until he felt someone pulling at the corner of his clothes, and then he barely came back to his senses.

He looked at Mu Jinghua who was looking at him, her face full of worry for him, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I am sure about this matter, I just... thought of some things in the past."

Having said that, his expression became a little lonely again.

Mu Jinghua had never seen Xu Shu like this before. He just felt that he had disturbed Xu Shu by selling his indenture. After all, five hundred taels was not a small amount, and Xu Shu was actually planning to buy Yichun Tower. Even if Xu Shu was so powerful, he might not be able to...

Mu Jinghua felt a chill in his heart, and suddenly he was unwilling to fight for himself.

Just because he knew Xu Shu was a rare good man in the world, could he rely on his own pity to let Xu Shu pay 500 taels to redeem him? How could such a good thing happen in the world?

How could he follow the example of Ye Shijing and ask Xu Shu to redeem him just because he was impressed by Xu Shu's kindness?

It would be fine if this was just a piece of cake for Xu Shu, but Xu Shu is still living in this dilapidated thatched hut. If he really had 500 taels of silver, wouldn't he have gone to the town to buy a house long ago? Why would he have to put himself in such a difficult position?

And what if Xu Shu redeemed him?

If he were a man, it would be fine. He would work like a slave and repay Xu Shu for everything he had done for him. But he was a boy, and Xu Shu saved him, and his reputation was ruined.

He also wanted to ask Li Zile not to marry Xu Shu. Not to mention whether she would agree, even if Li Zile really agreed, could he just get together with Xu Shu and ruin his reputation for the rest of his life?

Mu Jinghua, oh Mu Jinghua, even if you are wishful thinking, you have to have a bottom line.

Mu Jinghua clenched his fists and picked up again the resolution he had made at the beginning, which had been shattered by Xu Shu's words - he must not drag Xu Shu down.

From the moment he entered Yichun Tower, it didn't matter whether he lived or died. Moreover, he knew Xu Shu, so even if he died, it would not be a loss.

Xu Shu didn't notice anything wrong with Mu Jinghua. When he realized that he had lost his focus, he brought his thoughts back to the original place.

Not only was the antigen useless, but the side effects were also very strong. Anyone who took or injected the antigen would develop red spots all over their body and it itchy within an hour.

As time goes by, the red spots on the body will turn green and the skin will gradually harden, making them basically the same as zombies, which looks very scary.

Although it is not contagious, with the help of Du Wanbai, it is not difficult to create the effect of a plague.

Using this method, not to mention three days, just one night would be enough to scare people away and make them dare not approach Yichun Tower again.

But this plan now needs to ensure two points:

First of all, the madam cannot drink the antigen, or even if she drinks it, she cannot become ill, otherwise Xu Shu will have no one to argue with to buy Yichunlou.

Secondly, after the task was accomplished, Xu Shu would need a clever excuse to end the plague.

Yes, all it takes is an excuse. After all, after discovering that antigen stimulation cannot make the human body produce antibodies, those doctors and biologists invented external antibodies.

But this antidote must be given naturally.

How should I give it and let it happen naturally?

As Xu Shu thought about it, his hands tapped the table unconsciously, but there was no good solution for the time being.

He was thinking in distress until someone beside him gently pulled the corner of his clothes, and then he came back to his senses. Xu Shu smiled and said, "Okay, let's go to bed."

Mu Jinghua didn't sleep well.

He felt as if he was sleeping on a small boat, swaying and floating with the endless river. As luck would have it, it began to rain heavily, and the already fragile boat was swaying constantly, and ultimately could not withstand the wind and rain.

The boat was overturned on the river and he was about to fall straight to the bottom of the river.

But at the moment of overturning, he suddenly heard Xu Shu calling him. The voice was not as gentle as before, which made him open his eyes nervously.

Xu Shuzheng was sitting beside the bed, looking at him with worry in his eyes, and it was raining heavily outside the thatched hut.

Seeing him wake up, Xu Shu was relieved: "Did you have a nightmare?"
