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

Because of his experiences in the last few years of the apocalypse, Xu Shu was extremely sensitive to sounds. As soon as it started raining outside, he opened his eyes and wanted to see if the window was closed, but he found a young man shaking on the bed.

Xu Shu lit the oil lamp and saw that Mu Jinghua's face was covered with tears. Perhaps because he couldn't speak, the boy cried too quietly. Xu Shu couldn't bear to see him, so he had to wake him up.

But when he saw Mu Jinghua nodded and admitted that he had indeed had a nightmare, Xu Shu was a little at a loss.

Please forgive him for this as it’s his first time taking care of a child and he really doesn’t know how to comfort a child when he has a nightmare.

He stood there for two seconds, and finally reached out and grabbed the child's hand: "I'm here, don't be afraid."

Xu Shu paused for a moment, then added: "Otherwise, I'll sleep with you."

Mu Jinghua's face suddenly turned red.

What is Xu Shu talking about? How can a man invite a young man like him...

But when he looked up and saw Xu Shu, his previous wishful thinking suddenly came back to him, so he quickly put aside his shame and bottom line and nodded.

Anyway, he will be leaving tomorrow and will never see Xu Shu again. On this rainy night, let him be selfish for once.

Seeing that he agreed, Xu Shu was relieved. He rubbed the boy's head, handed him a cup of hot water, said "wait", and got out of bed to tinker with his bed on the floor.

Mu Jinghua was a boy, Xu Shu was very clear about this. Although he could not see the difference between a boy and a man except for the pregnancy mole, since a boy could get pregnant, there were some things that he, as a brother, could not overstep the boundaries.

Xu Shu pulled his mat closer to the wooden bed where Mu Jinghua slept.

Mu Jinghua looked at the mat that was originally several steps away from him, and suddenly became much closer to him, so close to him that he seemed to be within reach and could be reached. His heart began to beat wildly.

It was just a blink of an eye and he was about to climb onto Xu Shu's bed?

Well, it doesn’t seem like climbing up... Looking at the mat which was much lower than his bed, Mu Jinghua thought, maybe crawling down?

Xu Shu adjusted the quilt again, then clapped his hands and said, "Okay, come on."

Hearing Xu Shu calling him, Mu Jinghua felt like he was in a dilemma. His Adam's apple rolled slightly and he moved reluctantly. The next second, Xu Shu pushed him directly into the bed.

It's his own bed.

"Okay," Xu Shu tucked in the quilt for him, "I'll be right next to you, holding your hand and accompanying you. Everything will be fine."

This was a trick Xu Shu and his sister used to play when they slept on the floor in their villa in their hometown.

Xu Hua was much younger than him, and Xu Shu had always paid attention to his sister's gender education, fearing that he, as a brother, might do something wrong and cause his sister to be cheated by a man in the future. So even if they slept on the floor, Xu Shu would hang a curtain in the middle.

But Xu Hua was young and energetic at that time, and she liked to stick to Xu Shu. She would always reach out her hand in the middle of the night, and even make up a big drama in her imagination, thinking that her fingers were 007 agents and the curtain on Xu Shu's side was the "enemy camp". If Xu Shu didn't hold her down, she would cry out "Mom, help me".

Xu Shu would occasionally play with her, but most of the time he would hold her hand and make her sleep.

Xu Shu thought that Mu Jinghua was so well behaved that he would not yell at him to tell a story like Xu Hua did, so he blew out the light, lay down, and whispered "good night" to Mu Jinghua.

Mu Jinghua, however, couldn't sleep. The touch from his palm was too vivid and almost occupied all his mind.

It was a pity that once Xu Shu blew out the light, he could no longer see anything. He could only picture Xu Shu's face over and over again in his mind. His nose was so high... His eyebrows were a little thick, but they were also very beautiful. The most beautiful thing was his eyes, which seemed to always be smiling at him...

How can there be such a good person in the world?

But why is it that he is a guy from a brothel?

-

The next morning, Xu Shu was not in a good mood. He racked his brains last night, but still had no idea how to solve the plague, which really made him feel uneasy.

But the next second, seeing the sleeping boy slowly opening his eyes, Xu Shu adjusted his expression: "Good morning."

Mu Jinghua was slightly startled, then he slowly smiled at Xu Shu, like an obedient kitten, which made Xu Shu in a good mood.

He couldn't help but start worrying again: "Does your face still hurt? It doesn't look swollen anymore. Let's go find Qi Huairen later. I heard from the village chief earlier that Doctor Qi is also in town..."

Xu Shu's words came to an abrupt end, and the air became quiet.

Mu Jinghua was listening to him attentively, but when he suddenly paused, he couldn't help but look up at him.

But Xu Shu laughed out loud: "You are really a little mascot."

Mu Jinghua didn't even have time to blush when he realized that these words were spoken to him.

Xu Shu said, he, a bastard who was trampled on by thousands of people, who ran away from a brothel, and who had lost his father long ago, is a mascot?

He knew what a mascot was.

He was distracted, but Xu Shu didn't notice. He was still immersed in the joy of sudden enlightenment and said to himself: "Doctor Qi traveled all over the country in his early years and had great medical skills. He suddenly found a way to understand the plague without arousing suspicion."

"But that man is old-fashioned. He may not help me after hearing my plan. I have to find a chance to deliver the antidote to him."

Xu Shu suddenly had an idea and couldn't stop talking. Mu Jinghua didn't interrupt him. Although he didn't understand much, he was very happy. When he saw Xu Shu pause, he nodded repeatedly to show his agreement.

Xu Shu was brought back to reality by his vigorous nodding. He found it a little funny and couldn't help rubbing his head. While rubbing, he said, "The village chief has been idle for several days. I'll take you to see him today."

Xu Shu said this because he actually had something to ask the village chief.

When he first arrived, because he looked so miserable, the village chief Shen Guang repeatedly advised him to go to the town to seek medical treatment, during which time he mentioned Qi Huairen many times.

According to Shen Guang, Qi Huairen settled here a few years ago and opened a clinic. Whenever he treated patients, he would prescribe more medicine than other clinics in the town, but charge the same price. Therefore, although this man had a strange temper, he was also well-known.

Shen Guang had a serious illness in the past. Several medical clinics were unable to give him a cure, but he went to Qi Huairen, and he got better after two doses of medicine.

Later, he heard from his apprentice that Qi Huairen used to run a clinic in Beijing, and he worshipped this man like a god, praising him highly.

However, because of Shen Lin'er's incident last time, the two families still had a rift. Although Xu Shu had to deal with the village chief because of the house building these days, he was obviously not as enthusiastic as before.

He meant to examine the character and attitude of the village chief and his family. After all, with his current strength, he could go anywhere he wanted, and he didn't particularly care about breaking off relations with the village chief's family.

However, the Shen Guang family seemed to feel truly sorry for Xu Shu. Even though Xu Shu rarely smiled, they were still as enthusiastic as before and would ask about Mu Jinghua's situation from time to time.

Shen Guang was very excited to see Xu Shu bringing Mu Jinghua this time, and he quickly invited them to have breakfast together. However, Shen Lin'er seemed very surprised when she saw Mu Jinghua, and she even took two steps back in fright.

Then he turned around and went back into the house.

Without her, Xu Shu was happier and more comfortable. Although he had always been tolerant and caring towards minors because of his sister, he also protected his own shortcomings.

Mu Jinghua is the person he needs to protect now.

Xu Shu has always been very clear about what is important and what is not.

He calmly withdrew his gaze and asked Shen Guang about Qi Huairen.

When Shen Guang heard Qi Huairen's name, his eyes couldn't help but light up: "That's my benefactor."

Xu Shu nodded repeatedly: "After listening to you, I took Xiao Mujin to visit, but I felt that Doctor Qi was not very talkative."

"Well, he's not quiet, he was just slandered in his early years and has lost interest in many things in the world. I heard that..."

Xu Shu sat in the village chief's house for the whole morning, listening to the village chief telling the story of Qi Huairen's life. At the end, he even heard that he had "saved the lives of princes, grandchildren, and royal relatives", and he felt helpless.

He obviously underestimated Shen Guang's admiration for Qi Huairen.

Fortunately, Aunt Shen called out for dinner in time, so Xu Shu was able to get away and naturally had lunch with the village chief.

However, when he heard that Xu Shu was going to the town to do some work in the afternoon, the village chief repeatedly asked Xu Shu to help bring something to Qi Huairen.

Xu Shu was also happy about this, as he was just worrying about what to take to find Qi Huairen.

After all, I was busy and forgot about the sign language science book I promised to give him last time.
