Chapter 183 Accident
Mu Jinghua looked at Qiao Jianhong coldly.
He had maintained this expression for a long time, ever since someone pried open his window and revealed it to be Qiao Jianhong.
Later, he was unable to resist and was forcibly carried away by Qiao Jianhong, but the look in his eyes never changed.
When he was on the road, Qiao Jianhong was able to distract himself. When he arrived at the place, he met Mu Jinghua's eyes and couldn't help but said, "Little ancestor, don't glare at me. I'm here to give you a gift."
Mu Jinghua looked around and saw only endless darkness and howling wind. If he listened carefully, he could also hear the sound of flowing water.
Although he couldn't see the river, Mu Jinghua guessed that he should be on the mound near the river in Shiqiao Village.
In order to confuse the audience, Qiao Jianhong carried him on a detour, but he was still able to tell where this place was as soon as he landed.
Mu Jinghua sneered in his heart, and his eyes became colder.
Seeing him like this, Qiao Jianhong didn't waste any more words and just asked, "I heard someone crying on the beam. Did Xu Shu hit you?"
Seeing Mu Jinghua's expression unchanged, he paused for a moment before remembering, "I'm sorry, I forgot you were a little mute. So you had an argument with Xu Shu, and Xu Shu was mad at you and cried?"
This time Mu Jinghua's look changed, and it was a very complicated look.
In short, it's hard to put it into words.
Qiao Jianhong said seriously: "Do you know what it means to know a person's face but not his heart? Xu Shu may look like an equal to me, but what if he is a crybaby behind my back?"
"If you marry him in the future, he might cry to you every day."
"Or do you just like this?"
Mu Jinghua raised his leg and kicked him, but he was quick-witted and dodged it immediately.
Mu Jinghua turned around and walked to the other side. He was quite familiar with this place and knew the way home.
Although Xu Shu is now looking after Du Wanbai and may not notice his disappearance, but...if Xu Shu finds out, he will be worried.
Qiao Jianhong didn't seem to have any intention of stopping him. He just stood behind and watched him.
Just when Mu Jinghua was wondering if Qiao Jianhong had ulterior motives, a burly bearded man suddenly jumped out in front of him. He was bare-chested and holding a horizontal sword in his hand. He blocked his way and said to him in a rough voice, "Young Master, I'm sorry."
Mu Jinghua was not afraid of him at all, but he couldn't help rolling his eyes, then slowly looked back at Qiao Jianhong.
When he turned around, he found that a lot of people had come to Qiao Jianhong's side, and each of them had a sword hanging on their waist.
There was one person among them that Mu Jinghua felt inexplicably familiar. After thinking for a while, he remembered that he was the popcorn shop owner named Qiao Er whom he met when Xu Shu took him to see the lanterns.
Mu Jinghua felt warm in his chest when he thought that Xu Shu's guess at that time was most likely correct.
Xu Shu is really amazing.
Xu Shu is so powerful... must have already known that he is no longer the Mu Jinghua of the past.
There is no more innocence and cuteness, only jealousy and madness.
Would Xu Shu find him hideously ugly?
Noticing that Mu Jinghua seemed to be in a daze, Qiao Jianhong coughed a little unsatisfiedly and forcibly pulled Mu Jinghua back to his thoughts: "What are you thinking about?"
Mu Jinghua came back to his senses and returned to his cold expression.
But this time it wasn't just Qiao Jianhong. The people around him were probably his subordinates. When they saw Mu Jinghua showing such an expression, they all laughed.
Mu Jinghua didn't understand what was going on. Seeing them laughing so happily, he felt uncomfortable.
Qiao Jianhong seemed to sense his unhappiness, and slapped the big man next to him, cursing, "Stop laughing, or the little ancestor will get really angry, and who will comfort him?"
"Please ask the young man to come and make fun of him." A young man said, "Boss, you should find this place. It's very conspicuous. Xu Shu will find it soon."
"We're not kidnapping you, why are you hiding?" another person laughed.
Mu Jinghua frowned and looked at the man. Isn't this kidnapping? He didn't say he wanted to come.
Qiao Jianhong kicked the man and watched him stagger and almost fall off the hill. He was satisfied and said, "You are not smart enough. I punish you to bring our gift up."
"Okay." The man didn't hold a grudge at all. Even after being kicked, he still smiled happily.
Mu Jinghua had no idea what they were doing. Instead, he was curious and looked a few more times in the direction the man was walking.
Qiao Jianhong caught him and asked, "What? Are you interested?"
Mu Jinghua immediately came back to his senses and glared at him.
Qiao Jianhong couldn't help laughing: "Aren't you tired? Why don't you rub your face to avoid it getting stiff?"
Mu Jinghua wanted to kick him, and was just thinking about how to put it into action when he heard the man who said he wanted to take the big gift shout, "Boss, one ran away."
Mu Jinghua looked in the direction of the sound and couldn't help but widen his eyes.
The man who was tied up and beaten beyond recognition, kneeling on the ground like an animal...
It was actually Ye Shijing.
Ye Shijing.
Really, long time no see.
As if noticing his gaze, Ye Shijing slowly raised his head.
His hair was messy and sloppy, and it seemed that he hadn't taken care of it for a long time. It was all over his face, almost covering half of his face. However, Mu Jinghua still met Ye Shijing's eyes through the ugly and dirty hair.
He looked at those lifeless eyes, which were immediately filled with fear and surprise the moment they saw him, and he couldn't help but smile at Ye Shijing.
This smile seemed very cute to Xu Shu, but in Ye Shijing's eyes, it was like an evil ghost sent by the King of Hell to take his life, revealing only a weird and gloomy look. He couldn't help but scream and begged in a harsh voice: "Please, don't kill me."
But when Mu Jinghua saw that his tongue had somehow recovered, he instantly lost all desire to play with him.
He just walked forward quickly, ignoring everyone around him, and quickly pulled out the sword from the nearest person's waist, and then...
Knife up and down.
Blood gushed out and splashed onto Mu Jinghua's face, but he didn't even blink, just watched the person in front of him slowly fall down.
Mu Jinghua saw his current appearance from his wide-open eyes, covered in blood and stench, and looking ugly like a madman.
Mu Jinghua threw the knife in his hand to the ground as if frightened.
How could Xu Shu like him like this...
Xu Shu likes him because of his simple mind.
Xu Shu...wouldn't want him...
"Little ancestor." Qiao Jianhong looked at the bloody scene and pulled Mu Jinghua aside helplessly, "Why did you do it yourself and get yourself covered in blood? Aren't you afraid that your family will be angry?"
Mu Jinghua came back to his senses and slowly looked at Qiao Jianhong. He couldn't help but ask, "Will Xu Shu be angry with me?"
But it was dark, and Qiao Jianhong couldn't understand what he said. He just said to the man who was still standing there in a daze after Mu Jinghua took the sword: "Don't be stupid, go and chase him."
The man said "oh", picked up the sword that Mu Jinghua had thrown on the ground, looked at Mu Jinghua carefully, and said, "Everyone follow me, we will split up and look for it."
The crowd quickly dispersed, and soon only Qiao Jianhong, Mu Jinghua, and Ye Shijing's body, whose eyes were open, were left on the ground.
Qiao Jianhong glanced at Ye Shijing, sighed, and then pulled Mu Jinghua towards the river.
Just as Mu Jinghua thought at first, this was indeed the mound near the river in Shiqiao Village.
Qiao Jianhong pulled him down the mound, and soon they saw the river. The river water was shimmering in the moonlight, and a low sound like the roar of a wild beast could be heard from afar.
That was the sound of the river lapping against the shore, and the closer we got, the louder the sound became.
The river was just as turbulent the day my father fell into it.
The moment he approached the river bank, Mu Jinghua began to wonder if there was really some terrifying beast lurking in the river, waiting for him to get close so that it could swallow him in one gulp.
He probably hesitated for a moment, because he heard Qiao Jianhong snort and say with a smile: "Are you afraid of water?"
Mu Jinghua immediately shook his head in denial.
If he is really afraid of water, how can he wash clothes?
But there is no need to tell Qiao Jianhong this. Why should he prove his innocence in front of Qiao Jianhong?
Qiao Jianhong didn't ask any more questions, but just gestured for Mu Jinghua to squat by the river.
He took out a handkerchief from his bosom, wet it with river water, and handed it to him: "Wipe it."
Mu Jinghua was staring at him the whole time, fearing that as soon as his hands touched water, some horrible creature would pop its head out from the dark water and swallow him in one gulp.
This did not happen.
Mu Jinghua breathed a sigh of relief, took the handkerchief and wiped his face gently, but he couldn't help but wonder - if there was no man-eating monster in the river, then where would his father's body go?
Before he could figure it out, a huge force suddenly came from behind and pushed him into the river.
The moment he fell, his feet hit the rocks on the river bank and he felt severe pain.
He felt no pain, only that the dark river in front of him was like a beast with its mouth wide open...
