the beginning of the end

Several men stood up and looked at the car approaching quickly from the road.

Old lady Mu pulled Da Ya to stand behind them. What happened along the way made her wary of strangers.

Mu Xibao tugged on his father's trousers, and followed the car with his little feet like an adult.

Seeing the cars parked on the road and the people on the side of the road, the four cars slowly slowed down and stopped.

A middle-aged bald man got out of the first car. His hair was about to fall out, his clothes were dirty, and he still exuded a strong smoky smell.

Shen Xi smelled it from so far away, and frowned slightly.

The middle-aged man approached Mu Qiangguo and the others, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, looked at the brand, it was really good cigarettes, he took out a few cigarettes and began to distribute them to Mu Qiangguo and the others, and said enthusiastically: "Come on, Brothers, smoke a cigarette."

Shen Xi doesn't smoke, Mu Qiangguo quit smoking after having a son, only Mo Cheng took it, and Shen Zhi also took it with a plug in his ear, planning to leave it to Brother Mo to smoke. It's hard to get cigarettes at this time, he knows Brother Mo has long been addicted to smoking, and has been enduring it, but unfortunately he can't get much.

"Father, Yanyan, the baby wants it." Mu Xibao joined in the fun, pointing to the Yanyan stuck in Shen Zhi's ear. It was long and white. I had never seen it before. It was strange that the uncle was eating it, and the baby wanted it too.

"Haha..., the little man wants to smoke at such a young age. Come on, uncle will give you one too." The middle-aged man laughed loudly, took out another one and handed it to the little guy.

Shen Xi and Mu Qiangguo didn't stop them. The middle-aged man took advantage of the situation to secretly observe several people, and found that the other two men glanced at Mu Qiangguo at the same time, and he was sure that the man in charge of this team was Mu Qiangguo.

Mu Xibao got a cigarette, and grabbed Shen Zhi's hand to clamp his ear, but the ear was too small, and the back of the ear could not be clamped, and it fell off. He squatted down to pick it up, put it on the ear again, and it fell off again It fell off three times. The little guy didn't understand why he couldn't hold the delicious food in his ears, and he was pursed and unhappy.

Shen Zhi has been observing the little guy, seeing the little baby imitating him, smiling cheerfully, Mo Cheng patted Shen Zhi, but couldn't suppress his laughter, the little baby is so cute, so cute, white, tender and soft Huhu, it must be comfortable to hold.

Shen Zhi thought so and did so, happily picked up the baby and said to Shen Xi and Mu Qiangguo: "Brother Shen, Brother Mu, I'll take the baby to play for a while." He just didn't want to stay here to accompany that middle-aged man The man chattered, it seemed that he was here to inquire about news.

Mu Qiangguo and Shen Xi nodded at the same time, and Shen Zhi happily carried the baby to the old lady Mu's side to play with Mu Jianguo and Da Ya.

"Brothers, where are you going?" The middle-aged man didn't talk nonsense, looking at Mu Qiangguo and asked directly.

"Go back to my hometown." There is nothing to say about this, Mu Qiangguo can feel that this middle-aged man is not in danger for the time being.

"Going back to your hometown, did you escape from the city?" The voice of the middle-aged man suddenly became lower.

Mu Qiangguo nodded, and Shen Xi stood beside him quietly.

"Brother, did you just come out of the city?" Mo Cheng asked rhetorically, smoking a cigarette.

The middle-aged man probably thought of the dangers and hardships he encountered along the way, so he nodded with a sullen face.

"Brother, I wonder how the situation in the city is now?" Mo Cheng asked persistently.

For Mo Cheng's interjection, Shen Xi and his wife are happy to see it succeed. One is cold-tempered and doesn't like to get along with outsiders, and the other doesn't want to talk to outsiders. He just wants to take good care of his family, but it's impossible to really ignore anyone. , that would be more troublesome, so Mocheng played a very good role at this time.

The middle-aged man took a deep puff of his cigarette, was silent for a while, and said, "The city is very chaotic now. Many people started to run out, and many people died on the way."

Mo Cheng understood another meaning from his words, the city has already fled and rioted, and that is a city of people, even if many people died a while ago, the number of people leaving the city will not drop sharply, needless to say , the road must be much more difficult than when they go out of the city. There are so many people and crowded, the car must be difficult to drive, not to mention there are many people who don't have a car and can't drive. Just the mutated mouse that came over, thinking of that scene, no matter how big Mo Cheng's nerves were, he felt a little shivering.

It's just dead people, many people died, I'm afraid it's not that simple.

"Brother can escape, he is also a powerful person." Mo Cheng praised, he was able to escape with four cars intact, a middle-aged man is indeed powerful.

Who doesn't like to hear good words, the middle-aged man laughed when he heard him say this, and forgot about the unpleasantness, the two men continued to chat a few words as if they were doing Tai Chi, the middle-aged man left with an excuse, without asking anything useful , he was tricked by Mo Cheng a lot, so it's meaningless to keep it.

When the middle-aged man returned to the team, he let everyone in the car get out of the car, and set up a simple cauldron not far from Shen Xi and the others. They also dragged out a mutant mouse from the trunk of a car The women in the team were in charge of cooking, and several of the men were handling the meat of the mutated rats, which should be their food.

With Shen Xi's help, and Mu Qiangguo and Mo Cheng continuing to peel potatoes, the old lady Mu's meal is almost ready, so they have to move faster and hurry up after eating.

The two pairs of people occupy each side and do not interfere with each other.

"Brother Shen, Brother Mu, that couple seems to be not easy." Seeing the other party busy in an orderly manner, Mo Cheng couldn't help but said.

"As long as the other party doesn't provoke us, we don't care about them." Shen Xi said lightly.

"En." Mu Qiangguo nodded, and they left after dinner anyway.

On the other side, a middle-aged man was leaning against the front of the car, standing with a boy in his twenties, his eyes were also watching Mu Qiangguo and his actions.

"Uncle, there are so many of us, why don't we just rob them? Look at what they make, you can tell it's rice by smelling the smell, and they drive such a big car, so there must be a lot of grain in it." Jiang Wei took a deep breath, it was really fragrant.

With a sound of "pa", Jiang Wei was slapped hard on the head by his uncle.

The middle-aged man Jiang Jin looked at Jiang Wei with hatred, and said angrily: "What do you know? Look at the family carefully. Everyone has rosy faces. Even the children are taken care of so well. There are old and young in the team. If you are young, you dare to stop on the side of the road to cook and rest openly. You can be a harmless ordinary person. Don’t just think about eating all day long. Sometimes you have to use your brain more, and uncle can’t take care of you anytime and anywhere.”

"Yeah." Knowing that his uncle was doing it for his own good, Jiang Wei honestly agreed.
