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

Chapter 118 Killing God

After listening to Grandpa Xu's mumbling all the way, Xu Shu finally arrived at the back mountain.

Jiang Xiao was worrying about the pile of knives. When he saw Xu Shu, he ran over and said, "Brother Xu, Brother Xu, what are you going to do with this?"

Xu Shu asked him, "Have you found a solution to the blacksmith's problem?"

Jiang Xiao shook his head: "I told you before, it's hard to find a blacksmith. Now there is only one person who is interested, but he hasn't said whether he will come or not."

Xu Shu hummed, but was not in a hurry: "Then keep it for now and pile it in the house. No one dares to steal these things except bandits."

Jiang Xiao asked in a low voice: "So why did you take it, Brother Xu? I heard people gossiping as soon as I arrived today."

Xu Shu couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's just some gossip, why bother about it? The world has changed a long time ago."

Jiang Xiao responded without comment and told Xu Shu the good news: "If nothing happens in the next few days, the house will be completed in three days."

"Really?" Xu Shu couldn't help but sigh, "Finally."

"Yes," Jiang Xiao also responded, "Now the main house can already be used to place furniture. How do you plan to arrange it?"

"The furniture is already being made. I'll find time to ask about it tomorrow. I'll be very sorry to bother you then."

Jiang Xiao asked about other things that he was unsure about. The most important one was the well-like thing. He was always concerned about it because he had never seen it before.

The main reason was that he was afraid that it might get damaged. Although after spending the past few months together, Jiang Xiao knew that Xu Shu would not care about such things, but Xu Shu had helped him so much, he did not want to disappoint Xu Shu no matter what.

Xu Shu explained the structure to him again, confirmed that everything was fine, and then went back home.

But Shiqiao Village was very busy today, and I ran into Xiao Ran again after walking for only a few steps.

Xiao Ran came over with a smile: "What a coincidence, Brother Xu."

Xu Shu was helpless: "What's the matter?"

Xiao Ran waved his hand and said, "Brother Xu, please don't misunderstand me. This time it's a good thing."

He clapped his hands, and his men brought up a brocade box. Xu Shu took it and opened it, wanting to see an account book.

Xu Shu flipped through it casually and found that the accounting method was quite similar to his own. He was surprised: "What is this?"

Xiao Ran: "Axi just sent someone to deliver the royalties for "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea". The account details are clearly written here."

Xu Shu smiled and said, "So the reason you came to me in the first place was because your husband was attracted by my accounting method. I guess, given your personality, you must have been jealous, so you condescended to follow Wu Yong to the restaurant?"

"Later, he was very polite to me, but he couldn't help but plot against me. It was so contradictory. Could it be that because Mr. Qin said a few nice words to me one day, Mr. Xiao got jealous and plotted against me?"

Xiao Ran was completely exposed by him. He was too embarrassed to elaborate for a moment, and only said apologetically: "Axi's stealing of teachers is indeed not a gentleman's behavior."

"Gentleman?" Xu Shu said with a smile, "Mr. Qin is a businessman, how could he do what a gentleman should do?"

Xiao Ran couldn't help feeling ashamed: "It's my fault that I didn't take good care of my wife."

Xu Shu ignored him. This modern accounting method was not invented by him, and it did not require any technical skills. Qin Lianxi could learn it, and Xu Shu did not think there was anything wrong with it.

But Xiao Ran is a man who cares about his reputation, so Xu Shu wants to take this opportunity to impress this henpecked husband.

Xu Shu was in a rare good mood. While flipping through the account book, he teased Qin Lianxi that he was a good student and that the account book was well memorized with clear handwriting, which was easy to understand at a glance.

Xiao Ran sighed with every word he said, and this inhuman torture was not over until all the accounts were reviewed.

I have to say that the aristocratic families are indeed the rich suckers.

Only two months had passed since the last birthday party, and Xiao Ran had only promoted "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea" in a few counties near Changping County, and his monthly turnover could reach one thousand taels.

However, the price of this book is five and a half taels of silver, so the turnover does not seem to be outstanding.

But it has to be said that it is easy to make money from aristocratic families.

According to the originally agreed rules, Xu Shu got 80% and Xiao Ran got 20%. Xu Shu got a total of 2,000 taels of silver. Xiao Ran gave him all the silver notes, but Xu Shu waved his hand and said, "Silver notes are not safe. Let's convert them into cash."

Xiao Ran was puzzled: "You really don't want the banknotes?"

Xu Shu hummed: "Why? Did your husband guess that I wouldn't take the banknotes? You were not convinced, so you brought the banknotes to me?"

Xu Shu was right again. Xiao Ran's forehead was sweating. "Where are you going to put that much silver, Brother Xu?"

Xu Shu: "My house is quite big, Sir Xiao, don't worry."

Xiao Ran responded: "Okay, I'll ask them to send the money to you tomorrow, but isn't this a bit too ostentatious?"

Xu Shu waved his hand nonchalantly: "I have already flaunted what I should have flaunted last night."

Xiao Ran couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Brother Xu can defeat thousands of troops by himself. No wonder I heard everyone call you the God of Killing."

"Killing God?" Xu Shu was in a trance for a moment, then said, "It's very intimate. It's been a long time since anyone called me that."

Xiao Ran was stunned when he heard this, and inexplicably felt a chill.

After Xu Shu returned home, he stayed in his room and began to write the second volume of "The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea". The first volume covered the Anshi Rebellion, and the second volume would go directly to the finale, where the eight protagonists become immortals.

It was really boring to just write, so Xu Shu took out a bottle of red wine and a wine glass from his backpack.

In the bare room, there was a bottle of red wine worth 50,000 yuan placed on a broken wooden table with one leg higher than the other. The scene was so abrupt that even Xu Shu couldn't help laughing.

One cup after another.

Xu Shu shook the red wine in the glass, his eyes were a little blurry. Through the bright red color, Xu Shu saw the hills of dead bodies, all covered in blood. He no longer remembered how he felt when he killed someone for the first time. He could only remember the blood all over the ground and his hands.

Xu Shu couldn't help but laugh at himself. He picked up the bottle and drank half of it. The wine soaked through the back of the paper, leaving red spots.

flower……

Xu Shu looked at the flower with blurry eyes, then an idea came to his mind and he picked up the pen and wrote the three words "Mu Jinghua" next to it.

Mu Jinghua...

As soon as Xu Shu saw this name, his heart softened, and when he thought back to the intrigues and deceptions at the end of the world...it seemed like a lifetime ago.
