Chapter 142 Introverted Child

How could it be her?

Would someone like her squeeze into a hard seat with me? You must be seeing things.

"Hey sis, have some snacks!"

Mu Shi spoke in a voice so soft it was almost like a mosquito humming. He took a bag of snacks out of his bag and carefully pushed it in front of Gu Yunxi.

"Hey! Not bad, Xiao Shi!" Mu Chen touched her forehead.

"You've made progress. When you go out, you should talk more and practice what you're supposed to do, you're a boy!"

"Um!"

It was another mosquito buzzing.

"Thank you, Shi!"

After chatting for a while, they learned that the younger brother, Xiaoshi, had just started fifth grade. He had been bullied when he was very young, which made him introverted and not very talkative. Over the past few years, with the help of his family, he has finally started to speak up!

He had excellent grades in school, but his only regret was that he was quiet and didn't have many friends. His classmates gave him the nickname "Lonely Knight!"

Gu Yunxi took a liking to his talent; what a promising talent! She touched the pen on her head, took out another hairpin from her bag, stuck it in her hair, and removed the pen.

He said to the pen, "I think this pen is quite destined for Xiao Shi, so I'm giving it to him. Stay with him and I promise I won't treat you badly."

Ugh! I've only been here two days, and they're already trying to kick me out.

The little calligraphy brush was extremely frustrated. The spiritual energy last night was too rich, and it had been absorbing it continuously, feeling its whole body filled with power.

I never imagined that happiness would be so fleeting, and that I would be abandoned by my owner so soon?

"Why are you still unhappy? They live in Linshui Town and go to school in Jiangcheng. It's not like I don't want you anymore. Look how wronged you are."

Mu Chen was full of questions. Was she talking to the calligraphy brush?

It's just a pen, how could it possibly understand what she's saying?

Alright, considering that kid has some potential, I'll help him out.

"Xiao Shi, this calligraphy brush is no ordinary brush; it will bring you good luck."

Mu Shi took the calligraphy brush and, for some reason, felt a special sense of familiarity with it.

"Thank you, sister, I like it very much."

He carefully placed it in his bag.

A train conductor selling boxed meals passed by, and Gu Yunlang decided to buy four boxes, one for the brother and sister as well.

Mu Chen quickly refused!

She took two large bags of instant noodles from the snack bag and pushed them in front of her younger brother.

"Go get us some instant noodles."

Mu Shi glanced around and saw that the carriage was full of people.

He was a little scared; there were so many people, more than his classmates.

It's a mixed bag; what if there are bad people among them?

"Sister, I'm scared!"

He looked at his sister with a slightly coquettish expression.

"What are you afraid of? You promised Mom that you would listen to your sister when you go out. Let's start now. No, I'll take you home next."

"I'll go, I'll go, okay?"

Mu Shi's face showed displeasure, and he muttered to himself: When you're out and about, your sister's orders are like a mountain. He reluctantly tore open the packaging.

After placing the seasonings in the bowl, he picked up a box of instant noodles and slowly got up.

The group's seats were in the middle of the carriage, so they could go to either side.

Mu Shi looked at her sister again, cheering herself up in her heart: Xiao Shi, keep going, you're the best.

He walked towards one end, but before he reached the end of the carriage, he seemed to stop.

"Aren't we going to go check on him? It seems like Shi is having some trouble."

Mu Chen glanced into the distance. “People have to grow up eventually. He’s already ten years old, and his family has to worry about everything. His mother’s health isn’t good. If he continues like this, it’s not a good thing. I’m doing this to train him.”

I see!

"Big brother, could you lift your foot?"

Mu Shi's voice was so soft that the person who had been playing on their phone with their legs spread out didn't hear him at all.

The phone was so enticing that the person was playing a game and had no idea that they had already stepped into the aisle.

Mu Shi carefully nudged the man's arm. "Big brother, could you please put your leg down? I need to go over there."

The man looked up, his face filled with disdain, but he didn't get angry when he saw the child!

"Little brother, speak louder next time. If you speak so softly, who can hear you? Hurry up and go over there."

call!

Mu Shi breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't blame himself. It turns out that not everyone is a bad person.

When Mu Shi returned with the water, he saw his sister getting up, so he quickly pushed the instant noodles next to her.

"Sis, I'll go get some water!"

His transformation was so dramatic that it surprised the group!

"good!"

Mu Shi returned quickly this time, and a smile even appeared on his tense face.

After lunch, Gu Yunxi put on a mask, closed her eyes, and prepared to take a nap.

Gu Yunlang kept fiddling with his phone, reporting the situation in the family group chat.

The siblings sat quietly to one side, while Mu Shi kept looking at and touching the pen.

If it weren't for the fact that the location didn't allow it, he would be thinking of taking a notebook and dipping a brush in ink to try it out.

...

As night fell, the lively sounds gradually subsided.

Aside from the sounds of people using their phones, some people in the carriage started snoring.

It's really noisy!

Gu Yunxi looked at her phone. If it weren't for wanting to experience life, she would have already been traveling all day.

The bus stopped at a station, and a couple got on. The woman was holding a child in her arms and sat down not far from the group.

It was right across from Gu Yunxi.

Perhaps it was late at night and the child was asleep, the two of them sat down and breathed a sigh of relief.

A triumphant smile appeared on the man's face as he looked down at the woman and began to speak.

The sound was very soft, so soft that the sound of the phone had long since drowned out the two people's voices.

"This kid is good, fair-skinned and chubby, and the key is that he's a boy. If we take him home, we can get 200,000 yuan."

"Shh, keep your voice down, lest someone find out. The child has taken sleeping pills and can sleep through the night. By then, he'll be thousands of miles away."

Gu Yunlang was about to turn around when Gu Yunxi grabbed his hand. Having entered the world of cultivation, his hearing was now exceptionally good, and he immediately caught the voices of the two people.

I never imagined that there would still be human traffickers at this time. Who would believe it if I told them?

There are surveillance cameras everywhere. How did they manage to bring this child up here?

"Third Brother, don't worry. Those two men are carrying knives. What if they hurt the child?"

"Yunxi, what should we do?"

"It's alright, leave this to me!"

She wanted to see if the two men could still get off the train if their misdeeds were exposed to everyone.

Gu Yunxi got up and switched seats with Mu Chen, letting her sit inside while she sat on the outside.

He then took the opportunity to go to the restroom, and as he passed by the two men, he flicked them.

"Hahaha!"

The woman suddenly let out a strange laugh.
