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

Chapter 154 Chao Lin

"I don't have any impression." Xiao Ran thought for a moment before saying, "Why? Is this person inappropriate?"

"It's hard to say." Xu Shu thought about it and gave his guess, "He should be Qiao Jianhong's military doctor, a self-taught one, different from Qi Huairen, an imperial doctor who came from the court."

Upon hearing this, Qu Xiu and Xiao Ran both showed surprised expressions.

Even Mu Jinghua couldn't help but tilt his head.

Xu Shu raised his eyebrows: "Why? You want to ask me how I know Qi Huairen is the imperial physician?"

Xiao Ran smiled and said, "Brother Xu knows everything. We ordinary people can't guess it."

Xu Shu didn't accept his compliment, but he still explained: "It's actually simple. After all, there have been rumors that Qi Huairen is the imperial physician."

"He and you have a pretty good relationship, like old friends. You're from the capital, so he's probably from the capital as well."

"And I guess he must have offended someone in the capital, so he had to come to Changping County."

Xiao Ran couldn't help but nodded: "How did you know this?"

Xu Shu glanced at Mu Jinghua: “That night when I took Xiao Mujin to seek medical treatment, I kicked open the door of Qi Huairen’s house, and Qu Xiu’s first reaction was to run away.

"But given the relationship between Qi Huairen and you, no one in Changping County would dare to offend them easily. Why was Qu Xiu's first reaction to run away? And he even called Qi Huairen for help?"

Before Xu Shu could finish his words, Qu Xiu was already touching his nose in embarrassment.

Xiao Ran glanced at Qu Xiu and said with a smile: "You have to be nice to your junior brother, otherwise Xu Shu will not let you go easily in the future."

Qu Xiu was not happy to hear this: "I have always been very good to my junior brother."

Mu Jinghua also nodded and stopped sticking to Xu Shu, standing up to support his senior brother.

Although the senior brother was sometimes stupid, he was always very nice to him.

Xu Shu pulled Mu Jinghua back to his side, motioning him to continue holding the corner of his clothes, and then continued: "After saying so much, my focus is on the man named Chao Lin. He is definitely not ordinary. If you want to raise private soldiers, his medical skills will definitely be a great help."

Qu Xiu's mind was quick, and he immediately shouted, "Brother Xu, you don't want Xiao Mu Jin to learn medicine from that Chao Lin, do you?"

Mu Jinghua was stunned when he heard this.

Xu Shuke didn't mean that. He cried out in injustice: "Who cares about him? He's busy all day long. How can he be as idle as your master, a doctor who sits on duty and prescribes medicine?"

He was afraid that Mu Jinghua would have this thought, so he quickly advised him: "Xiao Mu Jin, you have also seen that Chao Lin, right? Look at his eyes, there is no light in them."

Mu Jinghua didn't quite understand, so he tilted his head and blinked in confusion.

Xu Shu then changed his words: "Look at him, isn't there a sense of fatigue that can be seen with the naked eye?"

This is true. Mu Jinghua recalled that every time Boss Yu asked Chao Lin to do something, Chao Lin would sigh deeply, which seemed to be the "visible fatigue" that Xu Shu mentioned.

Seeing that he had taken it in, Xu Shu continued, "This is the general situation of medical students. So, Xiao Mujin, you already have a lot to do now. You can't add any more burden to yourself. Do you understand?"

I don’t know if Mu Jinghua took these last words to heart, but Qu Xiu certainly did. He kept nodding his head in agreement, and finally said to Xu Shu, “Brother Xu, you should have told my master exactly what you said. Look at me now. I am tired and visibly exhausted.”

Mu Jinghua shook his head without giving him face, and said with sign language: "Senior brother is full of energy and noisy every day."

"I'm quarreling?" Qu Xiu has also been learning spoken English with Qi Huairen recently, and has made rapid progress. He has no problem communicating with Mu Jinghua in sign language. "You just said hello to Senior Brother? How come it's Senior Brother who's quarreling now?"

Mu Jinghua shrank closer to Xu Shu.

Qu Xiu didn't dare to make trouble for Xu Shu and sighed helplessly.

In the end, it was Xiao Ran who smoothed things over and asked Xu Shu, "Then according to Brother Xu, is it likely that he will rebel?"

Xu Shu shook his head: "Not much. He seems to be very familiar with Qiao Jianhong, and they even joke with each other. It is highly unlikely that he will change sides because of money."

Mu Jinghua suddenly remembered something, pulled Xu Shu, and said, "Chao Lin's throat was injured. If Master can cure him, maybe he will consider..."

Xiao Ran asked eagerly, "What?"

Xu Shu then relayed Mu Jinghua's words to Xiao Ran.

"Have you ever injured your throat?" Xiao Ran fell into deep thought for some reason.

Xu Shu guessed that he was probably thinking of something related, so he didn't bother him.

Although he advised Xiao Ran to recruit Chao Lin into his team, in fact, a doctor could not play a key role in the battle situation. The presence or absence of a doctor would only make the casualty rate higher or lower.

Xu Shu was about to say goodbye, but a soldier rushed up to report to Xiao Ran: "Sir, we found a body in the back mountain."

Xiao Ran frowned: "Qiao Jianhong's?"

The soldier shook his head: "It's a woman, she doesn't look very old."

Xiao Ran guessed: "Could it be Shen Lin'er? Brother Xu, do you want to claim the body?"

Xu Shucai was not interested. He did not owe Shen Lin'er anything, but this woman's vicious mind was really disgusting.

He held Mu Jinghua's hand and said to Xiao Ran, "Send someone to find the village chief to claim him. I'm going home with Xiao Mujin first."

"That's fine." Xiao Ran didn't know the relationship between Xu Shu and Shen Lin'er, but it was right to ask the family to claim the body. He didn't find it strange at all. He just urged Qu Xiu, "You should go back soon too. Help me and Master Qi to bring peace. He must be waiting anxiously."

……

It was not until he returned to a familiar place that Mu Jinghua's pounding heart finally calmed down a little.

It seems that Xu Shu and Xiao Ran have no doubts about the cause of Shen Lin'er's death, but they don't know whether Chen Hu and Boss Yu will be sentenced to death in the end, and also Qiao Jianhong.

He was the only one who knew that he was the one who killed Shen Lin'er. He also repeatedly tried to sow discord between him and Xu Shu in front of Xu Shu, saying things that could cause misunderstanding.

Damn.

Mu Jinghua was lost in thought, but Xu Shu couldn't help but worry: "Little Mu Jin, why are you so stunned? Are you scared?"

Mu Jinghua came back to his senses, nodded at him aggrievedly, and stretched out his hands for him to hug him.

Xu Shuke couldn't stand his coquettish behavior. Since there was no one at home, he picked up Mu Jinghua like a princess and said, "Let's take a bath?"

Mu Jinghua blushed again: "With you?"

Xu Shu was stuck for a moment. This was not what he meant. “Do you want to come with me?”

Mu Jinghua immediately hugged his neck tightly, and it seemed that he was very excited.

Xu Shu was in a dilemma for a moment. He wanted to persuade himself that men should not say no, but he was also worried that if he really could do it, little Mujin would cry badly.

In the end, reason prevailed over savagery, and he coughed lightly: "Wash it yourself."

Mu Jinghua was a little disappointed and gently bit his Adam's apple.

Xu Shu only felt a surge of heat rising from below, straight to the top of his head. He shook the restless Mu Jinghua in his arms vigorously: "If you really want to, it's not impossible."

"Just use your mouth this time."
