Chapter 172 Disfigurement
When Wu Yong, Qi Huairen and others heard the gunshots and rushed over to inquire, the gushing hot steam was about to push open the lid of the kettle.
Xu Shu stood up awkwardly and went out to explain to them, saying that he just accidentally knocked over the vase.
Qu Xiu was surprised and said, "What kind of vase is that? It made such a loud noise. We heard it in the next yard."
Xu Shu smiled and then looked at Wu Yong: "I'll go to town with you tomorrow."
Wu Yong responded immediately and changed the subject.
After seeing Wu Yong and the others off, Xu Shu went back to the room to see Mu Jinghua. Thinking of his impulsiveness just now, he felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
Mu Jinghua secretly breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, he had just experienced that today and Xu Shu did the same thing again. He was actually a little panicked. Being interrupted like this was not bad.
Mu Jinghua patted the bed, lifted one side of the quilt, and asked Xu Shu to come over to sleep.
Xu Shuben wanted to go back to his room, but since Xiao Mujin had invited him like that, he hesitated for a moment and decided, "I'll go take a shower first."
Mu Jinghua took out the pistol he had just hidden from under the pillow and handed it to Xu Shu.
Xu Shu took it reluctantly and stuffed it into his belt: "It's okay to put it under the pillow, but you can't put it under the stun gun."
Mu Jinghua nodded as if he understood, then turned his head and asked Xu Shu: "Will you give me a gun?"
"Want it?" Xu Shu asked him with a smile.
Seeing Mu Jinghua nod, he shook his head: "Not now, wait until you learn it."
Seeing Mu Jinghua's obviously gloomy expression, he immediately said: "If I'm free tomorrow, I will definitely teach you."
-
It’s a pity that I really don’t have time tomorrow.
Wu Yong got up early in the morning and urged Xu Shu to set off.
After all, he was worried about his family, so Xu Shu didn't want to delay any longer. He just said a few words to Jiang Da and Jiang Xiao, and then got on the carriage.
The sky was still gloomy, dark clouds were pressing down on the earth, and Wu Yong remained silent on the road.
When we arrived at Qingshui Town, it was even more gloomy. Most of the shops facing the street were closed and there were hardly any pedestrians. Only occasionally could we see a few soldiers with rifles escorting refugees who were pale, skinny and ragged.
Wu Yong asked the driver to stop the car, stuffed some money into the leading soldier's pocket, and inquired about the situation.
The answer he got was that the refugees had been suppressed, but when Xu Shu saw that they were escorting only the elderly, the sick, the disabled, women, and children, he inexplicably had a bad thought.
Although he looked down on Xiao Ran's emotional cowardly behavior, Xiao Ran was not an incompetent person. With one night and the crossbow model he provided, it was impossible for him not to be able to deal with the disorganized refugees.
Unless... this riot was deliberately instigated by someone behind the scenes.
If it were in the past, Xu Shu would definitely suspect Qiao Jianhong, but now, the only person worthy of suspicion is the friendly forces... Xu Shu was a little confused.
But it was not his turn to worry about these things. After Mu Jinghua was injured and fell into a coma, he never contacted Xiao Ran again, mainly because he was annoyed with Qin Lianxi.
To be honest, if it weren't for Xiao Ran and Qiao Jianhong's face, and his principle of not killing women, he should have shot Qin Lianxi to death for what he did to Xiao Mujin.
But Qin Lianxi is not having an easy time now. One of his legs was crushed and broken. Even with the help of Chao Lin, the miracle doctor, he is still going to suffer.
You will reap the consequences.
Xu Shu sent Wu Yong back to the Wu family before taking a carriage to Muyi Tower.
The doors of Muyi Building were also closed. Xu Shu knocked on the door twice and waited for a long time before someone answered.
The voice was weak and small, and seemed to be that of a civet cat.
Xu Shu replied, and the door opened a little. The cat showed a pair of eyes and looked at Xu Shu straightly: "Master Xu, is Brother Mu here?"
Xu Shu shook his head, thinking that he was just thinking about Mu Jinghua, and explained, "He accidentally sprained his ankle and is now recovering at home."
The raccoon cat cried out in surprise, and then began to daze. Xu Shu called him twice before he came to his senses and hurriedly opened the door for Xu Shu.
After Xu Shu came in, he whispered, "There were a lot of people making trouble outside yesterday. Caidie and Brother Du went out to buy things and ran into them. Brother Du was stabbed twice."
Xu Shu frowned: "Have you asked someone to take a look?"
"It was too chaotic yesterday. The clinic was closed. I had no choice but to go find Young Master Jiang..."
Before the cat finished speaking, Jiang Xiaoyu's voice came from upstairs: "Mr. Xu, you owe me a big favor."
This was the truth, Xu Shu did not refute it, but only asked: "Young Master Jiang did not come back this night, won't the people in your house be worried?"
"You're here, so you're in a hurry to get me out." Jiang Xiaoyu walked down the stairs angrily, pulled the cat to sit down, looked around the lobby of the Muyi Building, and laughed, "Are you afraid that I will copy your carefully designed Muyi Building?"
Xu Shu waved his hand, poured him a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "These things that are visible will be seen by others sooner or later. Why open a store if you are afraid of this?"
"Besides, you and I both know Young Master Jiang's character."
Jiang Xiaoyu felt relieved when she heard this. She took the tea arrogantly, took a sip slowly, and then said, "Du Wanbai is across the street. Do you want to go and see him?"
"What did the doctor say?" Xu Shu looked at the civet cat.
The civet cat immediately stood up and replied softly, "The doctor said it's okay, just stay in bed and rest."
"Where's Caidie?" Xu Shu asked again, "How is she?"
Li Mao'er and Jiang Xiaoyu fell silent. When Xu Shu asked again, Jiang Xiaoyu said, "Those bastards saw that she was beautiful and had improper thoughts about her. Caidie was a strong-willed person and scratched her face."
"She was ruthless. Her face cannot be saved."
Hearing this sad news, Xu Shu also fell silent, but suddenly he heard a hoarse voice coming from upstairs. It was Caidie: "Sir, don't worry about me. The body is like money, it is just a thing outside of the body."
"It was because I was unable to protect it that it had to be destroyed. I can't blame anyone."
The wound on her face was extremely hideous, right under her eye, across her nose, and diagonally to the other corner of her mouth. Although it had been treated, the deep wound was still covered with blood and flesh, which looked extremely horrible.
The civet cat and Jiang Xiaoyu on the side didn't dare to look and stared at the table in silence.
Xu Shu had seen a lot, so he didn't think it was a big deal. He just felt that Caidie's words were really open-minded, and he looked at her with new eyes: "Miss Caidie has such a kind heart, Xu admires her."
"Money and skin are just external things, but they are not sins. The real sins are those who are greedy. It has nothing to do with the skin itself, and even less with you."
Caidie was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then she laughed: "No wonder Young Master Mu is so worried every day."
Why are you bringing Mu Jinghua into this?
Xu Shu frowned: "What do you mean?"
Caidie bowed deeply to him and asked for his forgiveness in advance.
This act of executing first and reporting later made Xu Shu a little amused and helpless. Besides, he was not a high-ranking official, so how could he be blamed or not?
He waved his hand helplessly: "Just say it."
Caidie didn't hesitate and spoke as soon as she was asked to speak: "Mr. Xu is very tolerant and considerate to people like us. He is incompatible with the nobles from ordinary wealthy families."
"For those of us who live in the mud and struggle to make a living every day, it's hard not to be moved."
"Take me as an example. I know that Young Master Mu loves you deeply and won't allow anyone else to covet you, but after listening to your advice, I still can't help but feel sad."
"If I hadn't been so determined, I would have already had someone in my heart. When I woke up, I immediately understood that Young Master Mu probably fell in love with you in the same way."
"He knows that no one can resist you, so he is worried every day."
