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

Chapter 163 Self-Defense

Although he was a little confused about Xu Shu's attitude, Mu Jinghua discovered another thing, so he was not in the mood to think about anything else.

He grabbed Xu Shu's hand and looked at the faint bloodstain on it in confusion, frowning as he watched the faint blood slowly seep out.

Qi Huairen also came over to watch and teased Xu Shu, "Who did you fight with?"

Xu Shu pulled his hand back and said softly, "I'm fine."

Mu Jinghua didn't react much.

Xu Shu called him three times before he slowly looked up. His eyes and nose were red.

Xu Shucai realized that he was so pale, and his pitiful look of wanting to cry but not being able to would be so obvious every time.

"I'm really fine." He felt itchy in his heart, "I have something serious to tell you, can we go inside?"

Mu Jinghua shook his head stubbornly.

Then he stood up and walked straight towards the yard where Qi Huairen lived.

Xu Shu felt as if a basin of cold water was poured on his head, and was at a loss for a moment.

Qi Huairen understood clearly and comforted Xu Shu: "Brother Mu has gone to get you some medicine, don't think too much."

Xu Shu finally realized it and said "oh" belatedly. This look really wasn't very smart. Qi Huairen looked at it and shook his head: "I really don't know why I thought you were smart before."

Xu Shu shrugged: "I never thought I was smart."

"Being smart isn't a good thing."

Before Qi Huairen could say something, Mu Jinghua came out hurriedly, carrying a small medicine box.

Xu Shu quickly stepped forward to take it and said with a smile: "Little doctor, can you go back to the house and bandage me?"

Mu Jinghua was stunned at first, then his ears turned red, and then he nodded slowly.

Xu Shu waved towards Qi Huairen, holding the medicine box in one hand and holding Mu Jinghua in the other, without looking injured at all.

Qi Huairen suddenly remembered something and asked in confusion: "Didn't you say that Mu Ge'er sprained his ankle? How come he healed so quickly?"

-

As Mu Jinghua took medicine from the medicine box, Xu Shu looked at him quietly.

When Mu Jinghua raised his head to pull Xu Shu's injured hand, Xu Shu said, "Xiao Mujin, is your father... good to you?"

Mu Jinghua didn't even stop applying medicine to him and shook his head slightly.

Xu Shu thought that was indeed the case, and then he didn't know how to start.

Mu Jinghua had no intention of talking about his past in detail. In fact, if Xu Shu hadn't asked him just now, he would have almost forgotten that he had a father.

But even if I remember it, the past is still very vague.

He knew he was deliberately not thinking about that despicable past.

He knew that he was happy enough now.

Mu Jinghua began to bandage Xu Shu.

Seeing how meticulous he was, Xu Shu decided to start from the beginning: "I met Qiao Jianhong today."

Mu Jinghua paused.

Xu Shu added: "In Xiao Ran's house."

Mu Jinghua looked up at him and smiled: "Is he going to die?"

Xu Shu sighed: "No, but I have already taught him a lesson."

Seeing Mu Jinghua lower his head to look at his hand, he added: "I did this myself. Let me tell you."

Xu Shu selectively concealed the matter between Xiao Ran and Qin Lianxi, and relayed what Qiao Jianhong said to Mu Jinghua. Seeing the boy's sluggish movements and stunned expression, he felt a little reluctant: "Mu Tonghai, you don't have to worry about it. I will definitely teach him a lesson in the future."

"But from what Xiao Ran said, you still have an uncle and grandfather who love you. Do you want to go meet them?"

"Go to the capital."

"Go to the capital." Mu Jinghua repeated Xu Shu's words, looking confused and helpless.

"I'll go with you." Xu Shu couldn't bear it and gently held him in his arms.

Feeling the boy's body leaning stiffly against his chest, he whispered, "If you want to go now, you can catch the winter in the capital. It snows in the capital in winter. Have you ever seen snow?"

Changping County is located in the south. The winters here are windy and humid, but not cold and there is no snow.

Xu Shu felt Mu Jinghua gently shook his head, and said, "Snow is like rain, falling from the sky, but when snow falls on the ground, it will be a vast expanse of white."

"Just like Qi Huairen's beard." Xu Shu thought of an appropriate metaphor.

Mu Jinghua seemed to smile, shook gently in his arms, and then put his arms around his waist.

"If you don't want to leave, let's wait until spring comes and attend Xiao Ran and Wu Yong's wedding, then we can set off," Xu Shu thought for a while, "You can see a lot of flowers in spring. In addition to hibiscus, do you like other flowers?"

Mu Jinghua shook his head, looked up and said to Xu Shu: "I like bamboo."

"Bamboo." Xu Shu thought for a moment, "There are more bamboos in Changping County. When the weather is good, I will take you to the mountains. Maybe we can see giant pandas."

"Giant panda?" Mu Jinghua had never heard of it and blinked in confusion.

Xu Shu then told him the Classic of Mountains and Seas, about the great battle between Chiyou and Huangdi, about Chiyou's mount, and about how wise and powerful the giant panda was.

Xu Shu was not good at coaxing children, but he was also a person who had told many bedtime stories to Xu Hua, so he was still a great storyteller. Otherwise, the book "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea" would not have sold for so much money.

But Mu Jinghua fell asleep while listening.

Xu Shu only felt that the person in his arms had stopped moving. He lowered his head and saw that his eyes were tightly closed, and his long eyelashes were trembling slightly.

Xu Shu kissed him gently and carried him to the bed.

Although there is no conclusion to this matter, there is no need to rush.

But if I really want to go to the capital to see my uncle and grandfather...

He cannot go there as a civilian. What if things don't go as Qiao Jianhong said and his wife is wronged?

If you can't use your power to suppress someone, you have to resort to force.

Speaking of force, Xu Shu finally remembered his backpack.

When moving, he put the backpack and bamboo basket in the cellar. He was the only one who had the key, so it was safe.

Seeing that Mu Jinghua was sleeping soundly, Xu Shu tiptoed out of the door, intending to look for some good things in the cellar for his wife to use for self-defense.

The gun is not a good option, it would be a bit exaggerated to take it out, and Mu Jinghua has no basic skills, so he probably won't be able to learn it in a short time.

Xu Shu put the gun in his arms and just used it.

Then there are large weapons, such as knives, sticks, etc.

This baseball bat is pretty good. Xu Shu took it in his hand and tried the feel. It's a bit heavy. He wondered if Mu Jinghua, with his small body, could swing it.

But he can use it.

Xu Shu put the baseball bat aside.

After searching for a long time, I actually found a portable weapon - an anti-wolf baton.

The power is still sufficient.

Xu Shu was finally satisfied, but when he came out of the cellar he found that it was already dark. He subconsciously quickened his pace, but was still a few steps late.

Dinner is ready.

Mu Jinghua, Qi Huairen and Qu Xiu were all sitting at the stone table in the yard, waiting for Xu Shu in silence.

Xu Shu subconsciously glanced at Mu Jinghua. He wasn't crying, but just looked a little depressed.

He threw the baseball bat in the corner; it was too big to hide.

After throwing it, he said, "I'm back."

Qu Xiu turned around and asked, "Brother Xu, where have you been?"

"The cellar." Xu Shu answered vaguely and sat down next to Mu Jinghua. "Did you sleep well?"

Mu Jinghua shook his head depressedly: "You were not here when I woke up."

Xu Shu softened: "Blame me."

Mu Jinghua also nodded and repeated aggrievedly: "It's your fault."

Xu Shu could not help imagining his arrogant tone in his heart, and could not help but pinch his nose: "Okay, okay, what do you want little Mu Jin to do to forgive me?"

Qi Huairen rolled his eyes subconsciously.

Mu Jinghua's face turned red instantly.

Xu Shu glared at Qi Huairen, but seeing that Mu Jinghua was embarrassed, he decided to give up for the time being: "Eat first."

After dinner, Mu Jinghua took Xu Shu into the house.

As soon as he closed the door, he kissed Xu Shu excitedly.

He curved his eyes and smiled at Xu Shu, "I want to wait until the spring to go to the capital."

"Okay." Xu Shu held his waist and led him to the bed. "Little Mujin, I have a gift for you."

Then he took out the stun gun and handed it over: "Use it for self-defense."

Mu Jinghua looked at the black thing, waved it in the air, and then looked at Xu Shu: "Like this?"

Xu Shu smiled and said, "No."

He took the stun gun and pointed at the switch: "Press here, it will discharge electricity."

"Electricity is..." Xu Shu paused, "thunder and lightning."

Mu Jinghua’s eyes widened instantly and he reached out to touch it.

Xu Shu quickly grabbed his hand and sighed, "Stop it, it hurts. You should poke this thing at the people you hate, understand?"

Mu Jinghua nodded thoughtfully, and then smiled: "Qiao Jianhong?"

Xu Shu nodded in agreement, "Qiao Jianhong."
