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

Mu Jinghua saw his father's body thrown into the river by his stepmother and father, and drifting away from him along the rushing water.

He chased desperately from behind and saw his father swimming under the stone bridge and hitting a huge rock with a bang. His body tilted and he was completely tilted, but he was still floating along the river.

After a while, it began to rain heavily. The raindrops fell with a crackling sound, and my father's body floated in the water, with his head and feet popping out from time to time.

It didn't look like his usual father, but more like the rag doll his father had sewed for him.

Mu Jinghua looked at it stupidly, his eyes blinded by something he didn't know whether it was rain or tears. Suddenly, everything went dark in front of his eyes and he fell straight forward.

In the last moment before fainting, Mu Jinghua thought, I need a lamp.

And now, looking at the lights all over the river, Mu Jinghua suddenly realized that he already had a lot, a lot...

When we were about to return to Qi Huairen's house, it was already very late.

Because there were many people at the night market, Mu Jinghua had been holding onto Xu Shu's sleeve. Even though the clutches had been loosened now, he was reluctant to let go.

As soon as he calmed down, Mu Jinghua felt tired, tired and sleepy. Although he knew that he should not cause trouble for Xu Shu, he closed his eyes unconsciously.

Xu Shu was walking in front, and as he walked, he found that the little tail behind him was not moving.

He looked back and saw that someone had fallen asleep while standing.

Xu Shu laughed twice insincerely, but he didn't wake him up. Realizing that he was really tired, Xu Shu half squatted down and said, "Xiao Mujin, let go of my clothes. I'll carry you back."

Mu Jinghua didn't move, so Xu Shu had to pry his hands apart.

As soon as he was touched, the young man suddenly woke up and grasped the corner of his clothes tightly. It was obvious that he was very strong, and one could even faintly see the blue veins on his fists bulging.

Xu Shu was startled, looked up to meet Mu Jinghua's frightened eyes, and subconsciously lowered his voice: "Don't be nervous, I see you are very sleepy, I will carry you back."

Mu Jinghua slowly came back to his senses after meeting Xu Shu's eyes. He smiled at Xu Shu embarrassedly, wanting to say it was not necessary.

Xu Shu had seen through his thoughts and teased him: "If you don't allow me to carry you, I will just hold you in my arms."

Mu Jinghua subconsciously looked around and found that they had reached a street corner and there was no one around. He then breathed a sigh of relief.

He glanced at Xu Shu a little aggrieved, blaming Xu Shu for deliberately teasing him at this time.

But Xu Shu had already pried his hands apart, turned his back to him, and said, "Come up."

Mu Jinghua looked at the broad shoulders, gritted his teeth and climbed up obediently.

Xu Shu clenched his fists and lifted up the boy's legs, then slowly stood up. Realizing the weight on his back, he couldn't help but sigh, "He's still too thin."

Mu Jinghua smelled the bamboo leaves scent in Xu Shu's hair and lowered his head embarrassedly.

The two of them returned to Qi Huairen's clinic in silence.

Xu Shuben thought he had to climb over the wall to get back, but he didn't expect the door to be wide open and the lights in the yard were still on.

Qu Zhengzheng was boiling the medicine with a bitter face, while Qi Huairen was writing the prescription while yawning.

As soon as he saw them coming back, Qu Xiu immediately cried out, "Master, it's so late!"

Qi Huairen didn't even raise his head, and just said, "Go to sleep first."

Qu Xiu hesitated a little and looked at Xu Shu.

Xu Shu put Mu Jinghua down and urged him to go to bed first.

After the young man entered the house, he handed over the candied haws and lanterns he had brought for Qu Xiu, and placed a bag of mooncakes in front of Qi Huairen: "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival."

Qu Xiu was inexplicably moved when he received the candied haws and lanterns. He looked at Xu Shu and stammered, "Xu... Brother Xu, I wish you a happy holiday too."

Xu Shu smiled at him, met Qi Huairen's complicated gaze, and asked, "Any progress?"

Qi Huairen stopped writing and said, "I just tried all kinds of prescriptions in a hurry. The girls who got sick first have already started to have fever and are unconscious."

"What did the manager of Yichun Tower say?"

Qi Huairen couldn't help but sigh: "I know you can't stand the people behind Yichun Tower..."

He was halfway through his speech when he saw Xu Shu's cold expression, so he finally got straight to the point: "If you have something to say, just say it. You asked Xiao Ran not to interfere in this matter, but you didn't stop me from continuing to save people. Are you waiting for me to ask you for help?"

"How dare I?" Xu Shu smiled faintly. "I am young and inexperienced. I just want to ask you, the genius doctor, to prescribe a thousand-dollar prescription to make Yichun Tower bleed."

"You are flattering me. I am not a miracle doctor, nor do I have any prescription worth a fortune."

Xu Shu patted Qu Xiu and said, "Do you still remember the package I delivered that day? Go get it."

Seeing Qu Xiu nod and trot to get it, he looked at Qi Huairen again: "The thousand-dollar prescription has already been prepared. It depends on whether you are willing to be the miracle doctor."

……

The next day, Xu Shu got up very early. Instead of asking Qu Xiu to run errands, he took Mu Jinghua and Qu Xiu to Wu Yong's restaurant for breakfast.

As soon as Wu Yong saw him, he asked for a private room, closed the door mysteriously, and then came up to him and said, "Brother, do you know that Yichunlou is going to be unpopular?"

Xu Shu slowly peeled an egg and handed it to Mu Jinghua. He didn't look at Wu Yong and just smiled and said, "I don't know whether Yichun Tower is cold or not. I just feel that it's getting colder and colder as autumn approaches."

Seeing that he didn't know anything, Wu Yong pushed Qu Xiu who was eating beside him and said, "Kid, sit over there. I'll talk to Brother Xu."

Qu Xiu made an unpleasant sound and moved aside to continue sweeping away everything in his path.

Wu Yong pulled a chair next to Xu Shu and said in a mysterious voice, "This morning, Qi Huairen from Huimin Hall gave the people in Yichun Tower a prescription. The medicine cured the disease as soon as they took it. But do you know how much he wants for this dose?"

Xu Shu shook his head in agreement: "How can I know this?"

Wu Yong patted Xu Shu with great satisfaction and said, "The price is comparable to yours. One dose costs one thousand gold coins!"

"What do you mean by on par with me?" Xu Shu picked up another steamed bun and gave it to Mu Jinghua. "When have I ever cheated anyone out of their money?"

Wu Yong laughed twice and waved his hands to show that he understood: "My, my, I said the wrong thing. What Brother Xu is selling is an ancestral treasure. It is the only one in the world. It is not excessive to ask for a price of ten thousand taels. It is not like Qi Huairen who wants a thousand gold for one dose."

"That's gold. Even if Mrs. Wang is rich, she can't save all the patients, but every one of them is her cash cow."

"Mrs. Wang?"

"Oh, you may not know that the madam of Yichun Tower is the real owner of Yichun Tower. Her surname is Wang, and she is called Wang Pozi. Oh, by the way, didn't you tell the people in Yichun Tower last time that you would go to Wang Pozi in person in three days to discuss Mu Ge'er's indenture?"

"Today is the third day, right? It's a good time for you to go. Maybe you can take advantage of it."

"Yes," Xu Shu said with a smile, "I'm going now, so I can take advantage of it."
