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

Chapter 157 Responsible

This was a bit different in nature. Xu Shu frowned when he heard it: "Why do you say that?"

Of course, Mu Jinghua was just speculating: "When I met Shen Lin'er, I was holding the crossbow arrow. Later, I fainted and she snatched it away."

"Then why isn't it on Shen Lin'er?"

Then Xu Shu figured it out.

Shen Lin'er's body was found in the same place as where Qiao Jianhong jumped. Perhaps Qiao Jianhong killed Shen Lin'er just to get the crossbow arrow.

This is a bit bad.

Judging from Xiao Ran's intention, he obviously intended to take the crossbow for himself and use it as a trump card. As a result, the first batch of models was taken away by his arch-enemy Qiao Jianhong.

This situation is similar to when the Soviet Union planted agents to participate in the Manhattan Project and Stalin knew about the atomic bomb earlier than US President Truman.

But to be honest, there is still room for recovery.

After all, it's just a crossbow, not even a hot weapon.

He waved his hand indifferently and said to Mu Jinghua: "It's okay, just let it go. I'll make something more powerful later."

Hearing Xu Shu's assurance, Mu Jinghua immediately felt relieved, but still felt a little regretful: "That was a gift you gave me, but I lost it."

"Then next time..." Xu Shu thought and comforted him, "Next time you see Qiao Jianhong, beat him up?"

Mu Jinghua imagined the scene and smiled sweetly.

Xu Shu picked up some food for him and was about to talk about the arrangements for the next moment when he heard Qu Xiu shouting at the gate of the courtyard: "Junior brother, Brother Xu, we are back!"

Hearing this voice, it was known that the matter had been settled. Xu Shu pointed to the seat next to him and said to Qi Huairen, "Thank you for your hard work, doctor."

Qi Huairen stroked his beard and snorted, "Are you really afraid that I'll be tired, and you let my old bones run around?"

Qu Xiu found a place to sit down and said hurriedly: "Master, please get down to business and tell Brother Xu what we are going to plant."

Qi Huairen sighed quietly, "Artemisia annua, costusroot, and coptis root, these are the ones we'll decide on for now."

Xu Shu listened, but didn't quite understand. He just looked at Mu Jinghua and asked for his opinion.

Mu Jinghua had worked in the fields before, so he was quite familiar with this kind of thing. He immediately raised his question: "Aromatic osmanthus grows in the mountains, usually on gentle slopes and valleys. It would be a bit of a waste to set aside a piece of flat land to plant it."

Xu Shu seemed to understand and looked at Qi Huairen again.

Qi Huairen pondered for a while.

Mu Jinghua continued, "Aromatic osmanthus is a perennial plant, and the investment cost is high. We can use the open space behind the house to plant it. The soil there is deep and suitable."

After that, he looked at Xu Shu: "Is it okay?"

In fact, Xu Shu was a little behind Mu Jinghua. He didn't even know what costusroot was, and couldn't remember where the vacant lot that Mu Jinghua mentioned was.

He bought a lot of land at once because the land was cheap. Although the house was built on a large area, it did not occupy the entire area.

Xu Shuyuan planned to expand the pottery kiln in the future, but it was rare to see Mu Jinghua so concerned about something, so he naturally gave his full support.

"Little Mu Jin knows more than me." Xu Shu smiled, "Why don't you stop going to Muyi Building these days and help your master with advice at home?"

Seeing that Mu Jinghua was a little hesitant, Xu Shu said again: "If you really want to learn how to cook, I will talk to Xiao Ran someday and ask the chef to come to our house and teach you one-on-one."

After hearing his promise, Mu Jinghua felt a little embarrassed and pulled Xu Shu's sleeve and shook it: "I'm afraid, what if I mess it up..."

"You won't mess it up." Xu Shu looked at him seriously.

Although Mu Jinghua has become much bolder and more cheerful after the incident at Yichun Building, he is still not confident at heart.

But Mu Jinghua is very strong-willed and will hold on by himself when he is wronged or encounters difficulties.

Few people would act coquettishly with Xu Shu and say that they were afraid of not doing things well.

Most of the time he would act like a spoiled child and beg Xu Shu to give him more things to do.

At this time, of course you have to say more flattering things and praise your wife to the sky.

Of course, Xu Shu was a serious science and engineering man, so he squatted down, looked directly at Mu Jinghua, and analyzed with him seriously: "Xiao Mujin, I have never asked you, did you often help your family grow crops at home?"

Mu Jinghua was a little confused as to why Xu Shu suddenly asked this. Although it was the fact, he was a little reluctant to admit it.

In front of Xu Shu, he was ashamed to admit everything about him except love.

Mu Jinghua looked down at his hands.

This winter is the same as in previous years, the wind is as strong as ever, but there is less rain and the weather is still as cold.

But he didn't have to wash his clothes with cold water, and the master even made ointment to cure his frostbite.

Everything is changing for the better.

But the traces of the past years will never disappear, the stubborn calluses, dry skin, and ugly scars will never disappear.

It proves his meanness at every moment.

But Xu Shu held his hand tightly, and the warmth of his palm came along with his gentle voice: "Xiao Mujin, you are better than anyone else."

Mu Jinghua looked at Xu Shu in surprise. His smile was like the spring breeze in April, and he was in a trance for a moment.

"Look at Qi Huairen, he's already old, what else can he do except standing by and giving instructions? Look at Qu Xiu, he's so noisy and full of strength, what else can he do except being instructed by Qi Huairen?"

"As for me, I can neither grow crops nor understand herbs. I don't know what to do even if I'm told."

Xu Shu analyzed seriously: "But you, you can grow crops and understand herbs, which is better than everyone here."

"So, if you can't do it well, who else in the world can do it well?"

"Ok?"

Mu Jinghua was a little dazed after listening to this. Could it be that Xu Shu said all these things just to tell him that he had to do this?

Although he did understand herbs and how to farm as Xu Shu said, but...

Qu Xiu suddenly slammed the table and said, "Right! Why didn't I think of that, Brother Xu? Now that you put it that way, Junior Brother is simply... is, the Son... Chosen by Heaven!"

Mu Jinghua's thoughts were interrupted and he looked at Qu Xiu and Qi Huairen uncertainly.

Qu Xiu looked excited, as if he had discovered some new pastry.

Qi Huairen nodded slightly to Mu Jinghua.

"So..." Xu Shu stood up, "Xiao Mujin, do you want to stay and help?"

Seeing Mu Jinghua nodded, Xu Shu immediately made the decision: "After dinner, you and Qi Huairen will go to check out the place together."

Mu Jinghua blinked and asked in confusion: "Aren't you going to accompany me?"
