Fengwu Qinshang

Chapter 89 Taking in the Little Mute

Looking at the little mute again, his hair was disheveled and his whole body was dirty. His little hands were trembling as he held two big buns, but his eyes were bright. He seemed to be looking at these people with horror.

Seeing this, Qin Feng turned his head and asked:

"Uncle Wushang, how is this situation resolved here?"

Wushang thought for a moment and said:

"People like him are basically sent to the Great Wall to do odd jobs there, at least they don't have to worry about food and clothing. But this kid is too young, he looks only 17 or 18 years old. If we ignore him, he will continue to steal. If we do, he will probably be thrown into prison. We will provide him with food and drink in prison, and then send him to the Great Wall when he is 20 years old."

Qin Feng frowned. "Go to jail? Is that good?"

Although he felt pity, Qin Feng couldn't think of any good solution:

"By the way, Uncle Wushang, can you cure his muteness?"

"Hmm!!! It's hard to say. First of all, I don't know how he got mute. If he was born mute, then there's nothing we can do!"

"That means there is still a chance!"

"You can give it a try. But sir, don't you want to?"

Qin Feng smiled and nodded, then took two steps forward:

"Shopkeeper, big brother, I'll pay for the buns. Can I take the little mute away?"

The yamen runner spoke:

"Who are you? Why did you take him away?"

Qin Feng smiled slightly and looked at the little mute and said:

"Everyone, this little mute is stealing because of his muteness. My husband is a doctor, and I want to take him back to treat him. If he can be cured, wouldn't everyone be happy? Wouldn't he be able to support himself in the future?"

This kind of thing is difficult to deal with in the government office. Seeing someone to help, these two people can have some free time:

"Well! That's fine. If you can't cure him, take him back to the government office!"

Qin Feng nodded and turned back and said:

"Uncle Wushang, give me a knife coin!"

Wushang quickly handed it over.

"Shopkeeper, this is the money for the buns!"

"Okay, I'll give you the change later!"

"No need, just help me make a basket of buns!"

"Good good!"

Qin Feng turned around and was about to walk out of the crowd with the little mute and Wushang when a sarcastic voice came from the crowd:

"Hehehe! Boy, if you want to take this little thing away, I'm afraid you have some hobby!"

Qin Feng turned his head and saw a dark-looking tall and thin man staring at him with a strange smile. Qin Feng recognized this guy as the one standing at the door of the Yin-Yang Puppet Shop next to the steamed bun shop, and then asked:

"Who are you?"

"No problem. I'm from the Yin-Yang family! What's wrong?"

Qin Feng glared:

"The Yin-Yang family is really neither Yin nor Yang! Do you think they are all the same as you?"

After saying that, he left without looking back, leaving the Yin-Yang master at the door, jumping up and down and cursing!

In the clothing store, Qin Feng looked at the dirty little mute eating buns with his mouth wide open:

"Waiter, go get a new set of clothes!"

Looking at the new clothes given away for free by the store, and then looking at the little mute with happy eyes, Qin Feng asked:

"Waiter, where is the bathroom?"

The word "bathroom" has existed as early as the Warring States Period. Qin Feng doesn't know what to call this place, so why not give it a try!

"Ahaha, it's just around the corner!"

bathroom:

"Uncle Wushang, let's go together!"

"No, bathing will damage your health!"

"Uh! Never mind. Little mute, let's take a bath together and put on new clothes!"

"Wuwuwu! Aaaaahhh!"

Seeing this little mute hiding backwards, Qin Feng was speechless:

"Uh! Then go wash it yourself! Waiter, find a private room!"

"Got it!"

Watching the waiter take the mute away, Qin Feng thought to himself, "Humph, now he's embarrassed, there's still hope!"

"Sir, are you planning to bring him with you?"

Qin Feng thought about it:

"Let's cure his illness first, and then let him go. If he doesn't learn well at such a young age, who knows what he will become in the future!"

"But sir, I always feel that this mute is weird, as if I have seen him before!"

"Oh! Do you know him?"

"I don't know him. But I can sense a hint of danger from him. Sir, forget it. Someone already knows your identity. If you really have evil intentions, I'm afraid of you!"

Qin Feng smiled and said:

"What can a 17 or 18-year-old kid do? Have you forgotten that I have the Wuji Cloak to protect me? Besides, with you by my side, what do I have to fear?"

When Qin Feng said this, the old monkey straightened his chest:

"Yeah! With me here, who can do anything to you?"

"Hahahaha!"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

After a while, the door curtain was lifted, and a little mute in blue clothes walked out.

You know what, this little mute is quite handsome. He is not tall, has a round bun on his head, has big eyes and white teeth, and is really a handsome young man.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The little mute walked over slowly, tugging at the corner of his clothes with his fingers, staring at Qin Feng with a somewhat embarrassed look.

Qin Feng smiled and said:

"Well! This is great. You can't speak, and I don't know your name, so I might as well just call you Little Mute!"

"oh oh!"

"Let's go!"

The three of them walked out of the bathroom.

"Hey, hey, hey! Didn't you give me the money?"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"Ah, how much is it, shopkeeper?"

"Five copper coins!"

"Little mute, don't do this again, do you hear me?"

"Woo!"

"Hey, how can I sell it if you broke it?"

"Oh! How much?"

"Twenty coppers!"

"It was alive, and you killed it, you have to pay me!"

"Oh! How much?"

"Seven copper coins!"

"for you!"

 …

Finally, the three returned to their residence.

"The guest is back!"

"Well! Clean up the little room down there where you keep your sundries and make the bed!"

"Yes!"

When I entered the attic, I saw a lot of messy things scattered on the ground, including dolls, pendants, clay figurines, candied haws, and everything else.

Qin Feng was speechless:

"Little mute, do you know that these small things cost me two Dao coins? Two Dao coins! These two Dao coins can buy you a month's worth of big buns!"

The little mute squatted down to pick up the things on the ground, pouting and whimpering!

Qin Feng looked at the scene in front of him, and suddenly his heart ached, "Hey! When I was this old, didn't I also like these little things?"

Dinner was served, and with it came another fire-gathering spirit ball.

Let's eat dinner. Qin Feng and the other two sat around the table together:

"Uncle Wushang, do you think he can be cured?"

Wushang looked at the little mute who was fiddling with the puppet:

"Try it!"

After saying that, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the little mute's wrist. The little mute screamed and tried to pull it back. Seeing this, Qin Feng said:

"Don't be afraid, let Uncle Wushang see!"

The little mute then looked at Qin Feng in horror, and Qin Feng smiled slightly.

Relax your wrist and take the pulse quietly and harmlessly.

After a long while, Wushang pulled back his hand and sighed, saying:

"He is a mortal, his pulse is normal, and he has no hidden illness. His muteness is probably a congenital disease, and it cannot be cured!"

Looking at the little mute who continued to play with the puppet, Qin Feng was silent:

"Ah! Poor little fellow!"

"Send him away?"

Hearing Wushang's question, Qin Feng lowered his head and thought for a while:

"Send him away, but where to? He looks like he's 17 or 18 years old, but his IQ is probably less than that of a 10-year-old. If he's sent to the government, he'll definitely be in jail. If we let him go, he'll go back to his old ways. Oh! Forget it, there's no need to worry about food and drink here, let him stay here first! Uncle Wushang, I may have to trouble you to watch over him later!"
