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

Chapter 272 Trap

With a loud bang, Qiao Jianhong fell to the ground.

Mu Jinghua forced himself to kick him, but when he saw that he didn't react, he said, "It's inexplicable."

He looked at the skeleton again and couldn't help but sigh: "Senior, I don't know who you are, but I think it must be hard for you to be bullied by a lunatic like Qiao Jianhong every day. I'll find a chance to take you out and let you rest in peace."

After saying that, he sat down slowly, put down the stun gun in his hand, took off the hairpin on his head, and pulled out a silver needle from the hairpin.

"Qiao Jianhong, you hurt Xu Shu, and I haven't come to you to settle the score yet, but you brought it to me on your own."

He pointed the silver needle at Qiao Jianhong's forehead and laughed happily: "If Xu Shu was here, I'm afraid he would have to persuade me to let you go. He is always so kind."

"You are so good that you delivered it to me and found such a secret place for me. Maybe it was God who wanted you to die."

After saying that, Mu Jinghua inserted the silver needle. Just as it pierced the skin, the unconscious Qiao Jianhong suddenly opened his eyes and grasped Mu Jinghua's hand.

Mu Jinghua was startled, but reacted quickly. He grabbed the stun gun beside him and was about to poke Qiao Jianhong with it.

However, Qiao Jianhong saw through his purpose and grabbed his other hand.

Mu Jinghua was not as strong as him. He watched him take out a rope from somewhere to tie his hands. He could not help but said aggrievedly, "Father, save me."

Qiao Jianhong's body stiffened.

Mu Jinghua seized the opportunity, snatched the dagger hanging on his waist, threw away the scabbard, and the next second pressed against Qiao Jianhong's Adam's apple.

"You've seen how I cut throats, so you'd better be wise."

Qiao Jianhong was stunned for a moment, then shrugged his shoulders: "In the past, you only asked Xu Shu to save you, and never called me father. It was me... that's all."

"I don't call you Father because he is dead. A dead person will never respond to you. Never."

"There are some things you don't understand."

"I don't need to understand." Mu Jinghua smiled at him, "After all, you won't live long."

"You want to kill me?" Qiao Jianhong raised his eyebrows, his tone indifferent. He lowered his eyes to look at Mu Jinghua's hand holding the knife, "Over the years, you have learned a lot from Xu Shu."

Mu Jinghua did not argue with him, but just asked: "Who is in this coffin?"

"It's your father." Qiao Jianhong smiled at him. When he talked about the person in the ice coffin, his tone became softer unconsciously. "You don't recognize him?"

"My father's body was washed away by the flood." Mu Jinghua just said.

"He was washed up on the river bank and was picked up by a passing fisherman who then threw him into the charity cemetery."

"If a person falls into the river, can he be picked up?" Thinking of the bottomless river in Shiqiao Village, Mu Jinghua did not believe what Qiao Jianhong said.

Qiao Jianhong didn't insist on proving anything, but just teased him: "Didn't Xu Shu tell you these principles?"

Mu Jinghua frowned and brought the blade in his hand closer. He was no longer willing to talk to him: "Where is the exit?"

"Here." Qiao Jianhong pointed to a stone door not far away and said, "You are not as capable as Xu Shu. If you leave this door, you will be captured by the Qiao family's secret guards immediately. They only recognize me as their master, so even if Qiao Wan comes, it will be useless."

Mu Jinghua fell silent and asked him, "Where is Xu Shu?"

"I sneaked into the Bai Mansion and only saw you." Speaking of this, Qiao Jianhong smiled and asked for a beating. "My little beauty, your brother Xu Shu went out at night. Could he have cheated on me?"

"Shut up." Mu Jinghua used the stun gun to shock him. Seeing that he fainted, he simply took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, took out some pills and fed them to him.

Although he didn't know whether the secret guards that Qiao Jianhong mentioned were true or false, Mu Jinghua didn't need to gamble with his life. He should find a way to leave here first and deal with other things later.

It's just very cold.

My legs still have some weakness.

Mu Jinghua shuddered, dragged Qiao Jianhong's arm, and staggered for a long time before he came to the place where Qiao Jianhong had just spoken.

He knocked on the door and called out, "Is anyone there?"

"This is a stone gate, people outside can't hear it. Si, what did you do? Why do I feel so weak all over?"

Qiao Jianhong woke up again.

Mu Jinghua looked at him depressedly: "Open the door."

Qiao Jianhong was quite cooperative: "Just press the stone brick next to it and it will open."

Mu Jinghua looked at him suspiciously: "You took the cartilage powder I prepared myself. If you don't have my antidote, your bones will turn into acid water in seven days, corroding your internal organs and flesh. You will definitely die in ten days."

"You really are..." Qiao Jianhong smiled bitterly, holding his forehead, "For Danchen's sake, I won't lie to you."

Mu Jinghua then reluctantly believed him and pressed down the brick.

The next second, he felt his feet go empty and he fell uncontrollably into a pitch-black room.

The fall made him dizzy and his body ached all over, but Mu Jinghua didn't care about that and struggled to stand up.

Qiao Jianhong's voice came from above: "Xiao Mujin, you are right about one thing. The dead will never respond to you."

"I just don't know if your Xu Shu agrees with this."

"Qiao Jianhong!" Mu Jinghua stamped his feet in anger, "Without my antidote, you will definitely die."

"I don't care about life or death." Qiao Jianhong smiled at him, "I'm just curious, if it was Xu Shu, what would he do to restart the plot?"

"You probably don't know it yet, but in his original world, he was known as the God of Death."

"Kill one you see."

……

Xu Shu lay on Mu Tonghai's roof and knocked for a long time before knocking down a tile. Just as he was about to see what the people inside were doing, he heard Mu Tonghai's voice coming from below: "Since you are here, don't stay on the roof and come in for a cup of tea."

Xu Shu: ...

This old man has quite sharp five senses.

He clapped his hands, jumped off the roof, and bowed to Mu Tonghai politely. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Mu Tonghai say, "You are Xu Shu."

The words that Xu Shu wanted to say got stuck in his throat, and he could only hum in a muffled voice: "Prime Minister Mu is so busy with affairs of state, and he still knows about a nobody like me?"

Mu Tonghai shook his head, motioned Xu Shu to sit down, and said, "The fire in the ancestral hall that day was caused by you."

It wasn't a question, so Xu Shu admitted, "I have some grievances with your ancestral hall."

Mu Tonghai nodded: "Then I have a good idea."

"What's a good idea?" Xu Shu didn't understand for a moment.

"You came from a different world." Mu Tonghai put down the tea in his hand and said word by word, "Right?"

Xu Shu's hand that was about to fetch the tea paused.
