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

Chapter 147 Footprints

What does an extremely angry person look like?

Mu Jinghua couldn't help but frown when he saw Shen Lin'er, who was originally hysterical, suddenly became silent, as if she was still.

Shen Lin'er said nothing. She seemed to have suddenly figured everything out and realized her current situation. So after a moment of silence, she gently lifted her hair, stepped on her toes and kissed Boss Yu on the face, and said tenderly, "Brother Yu, don't be angry. I know I was wrong."

Boss Yu obviously liked this. Seeing Shen Lin'er give in, although he was a little puzzled, he still pinched Shen Lin'er's butt and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't be jealous, I can satisfy both of you at once."

Shen Lin'er's expression froze again, as if she had eaten something disgusting, but she still forced herself to swallow it, and smiled at Boss Yu, "Brother, you really know how to joke."

"No kidding." Boss Yu wanted to touch Mu Jinghua again, but Mu Jinghua slapped him hard, slapped his hand away, and walked forward without looking back.

Boss Yu was slapped, but he was not angry. Instead, he looked at Shen Lin'er and said with a smile: "You two are really more jealous than each other."

After saying that, he shook off Shen Lin'er's hand and turned to chase Mu Jinghua.

"My little beauty, my little beauty, please wait for me."

Xu Shu stared silently at the piece of human flesh on the ground for a long time.

Until Xiao Ran patted his shoulder and tried to comfort him: "Qu Xiu found the cloth strips and bloodstains for the wound by the stream. This may not be Mu Jinghua's injury, otherwise they would not help him bandage it."

"It's not his." Xu Shu said, "It was bitten off by teeth. Looking at the tooth marks on the edge, I even suspect that it was bitten by Xiao Mujin."

"You can even recognize the teeth marks?" Xiao Ran asked in surprise.

"It looks very similar." Xu Shu frowned and turned to Qu Xiu, "Put this away. If it really belongs to Xiao Mujin, it may need to be sutured."

"What is suturing?" Qu Xiu frowned, "Master never taught me."

This is the work of surgeons, and Chinese medicine practitioners rarely get involved, so it's not surprising that Qu Xiu doesn't know about it, but Xu Shu can't help but think of Chen Hu.

His leg was broken, but he was still able to go up the mountain to become a bandit. Who healed him?

Is that the man who was bandaging someone’s wound by the stream?

Xu Shu looked at Xiao Ran and asked, "Is there a doctor among these bandits, one with excellent medical skills?"

"How do you know?" Xiao Ran asked in surprise, "There is indeed such a person."

"That makes sense." Xu Shu glanced around again, but there were no clearer clues. He could only say, "We need to split up and search. There are quite a few of them, three people in each team. Don't act rashly after you find them. Come back and report immediately."

Xu Shu said this to the villagers of Shiqiao Village who came to help, and Xiao Ran nodded to the private soldiers he brought with him: "I heard everything, let's do it."

Xiao Ran stayed where he was and waited for news, while Xu Shu took Qu Xiu and Jiang Xiao to pick a direction at random.

Unfortunately, they were unlucky and encountered a snake's nest after taking only two steps.

A bunch of little snakes huddled together, the eggs were still fresh, but the mother snake was nowhere to be found.

Xu Shu had no intention of taking out the snake eggs, so he walked around and prepared to continue walking forward. However, the female snake suddenly came back, stood in front of the snake eggs, and stared at Xu Shu and Qu Xiu.

Qu Xiu had seen snakes a few times, but they were all dead snakes soaked in wine. He was caught off guard and made eye contact with the snake, and his legs went weak.

He called Xu Shu tremblingly: "Brother Xu, this snake seems to be poisonous."

Xu Shu hummed, "Bunna snakes are neurotoxins. They usually don't bite people, and if they are bitten, it doesn't hurt. The symptoms are mild and they won't kill you."

"No one will die." Qu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief. "Luckily I didn't encounter that kind of snake. Otherwise, it would be too unfair to be bitten to death by a snake like that old lady Shen."

Xu Shu nodded, but inexplicably felt something was wrong. Judging from the number of eggs laid by this snake, this place should be full of this kind of snakes. Why did Old Mrs. Shen die from snake venom?

But before Xu Shu could figure out what was going on, the snake suddenly pounced towards Qu Xiu.

Qu Xiu's legs suddenly went limp and he fell to the ground.

This helped him a little, at least the snake didn't bite him, but instead pounced on him directly.

Xu Shu quickly grabbed the snake's vital point, but he did not intend to kill it. Instead, he took out a dagger from his arms and pried open the snake's mouth.

"There's no blood in the mouth." Xu Shu frowned and took another look at the snake's belly. "But there's blood on the snake's body. It might have been stained somewhere."

"It just came back from that direction. Maybe there is someone there."

Qu Xiu had come back to his senses. Seeing the snake still dancing in Xu Shu's hand, he turned pale with fear: "Brother Xu, this kind of snake can't be soaked in wine."

"I understand." Xu Shu did not kill the snake, but released the mother snake.

Qu Xiu's face turned pale, and he didn't dare to ask the reason. He just followed Xu Shu and walked in the direction he had just mentioned.

Xu Shu followed the snake and soon found footprints on the ground. They were very messy, some big and some small. The pattern on the sole of one of the shoes was very familiar.

"This is Xiao Mujin's footprint." Xu Shu pointed at the footprint on the ground and looked into the distance. "The footsteps were not frivolous and the strength was even. It seems that Xiao Mujin was not seriously injured."

Jiang Xiao was surprised: "Brother Xu, how did you know this?"

"I chose the pattern on the sole for Little Mujin." Xu Shu explained briefly and looked at the footprints extending into the forest. "They should have built a house in this forest. I guess Little Mujin was taken back."

"It's bad!" Qu Xiu suddenly said, "Could it be that Junior Brother has been favored by their leader and taken away to be his concubine?"

"After all, my junior brother is very pretty and is wearing a red dress." Noticing that Xu Shu's expression was getting worse, Qu Xiu spoke in a lower voice.

After listening to him, Xu Shu said, "It's possible."

Even from Xu Shu's perspective, Mu Jinghua can be considered a beauty.

It’s just that Xu Shu had always treated him as a child and didn’t care much about his appearance. Instead, he was more concerned about his body and always felt that he was frail and very thin.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, the boy has bright eyes, white teeth, a red mole between his eyebrows, and very delicate facial features. With a little dressing up, he will stand out in the crowd, not to mention that he is wearing red clothes today.

Auspicious and festive, it is a color that can easily make men have wild thoughts.

Xu Shu looked at Jiang Xiao and said, "You and Qu Xiu go back and tell Xiao Ran that I will go find someone first and I will leave a mark for you on the way."

Xu Shu drew a “π” on the ground with a knife and pointed it to Qu Xiu and Xiao Ran: “This is it.”
