the beginning of the end

Everyone packed up quickly and went downstairs. The room smelled of porridge. Ma Ying hurriedly placed plates and pots on the dining table, and even cooked breakfast. A group of people came over , Ma Ying bumped into Mu Gui who was beside him with his crutch.

"Aunt Mu, Qiangguo, Jianguo, and you brothers, let's go after breakfast, my wife is ready." Mu Gui looked at them embarrassedly and said.

"Yes, yes, yes. Anyway, I cooked it too, so let's leave after eating." Ma Ying invited with an abnormal smile.

"Brother Guizi, do you have any difficulties?" Even Mu Jianguo saw that something was wrong, and asked questions on behalf of everyone.

"This--, I won't hide it from everyone, the town is too unsafe now, and Ma Ying and I want to go back to Bazi Village with you." Mu Gui simply said the request. He didn't have a car, so he wanted to go with him. Mu Qiangguo and the others went back together, and the road was safe.

After speaking, the couple looked at them nervously. After all, Ma Ying's attitude was not very good yesterday, and they were a little afraid that they would disagree.

"I thought what was the matter, Mu Gui, hurry up and pack your things with your wife, and come with us in a while, anyway, the car is big, and it can hold your family." The old lady Mu was the first to speak in agreement, and the others also agreed. No comment.

"Ma'am, our things have been packed this morning." Ma Ying said with a smile.

Still prepared, Shen Zhi and Mo Cheng were a little speechless, they stared at the breakfast on the table, no wonder Ma Ying was so willing, this breakfast is not free.

"Then have breakfast, and leave after eating." The old lady Mu was not polite to the couple, she turned her head and said: "Mu Gui, call the two children out and go together, we will set off after eating."

"En." Mu Gui nodded quickly.

Everyone did it themselves, and each brought a bowl of porridge. The only dish was pickled vegetables, and it was delicious mixed with porridge. Shen Xi didn’t have an appetite and didn’t really want to eat it, so he didn’t let Mu Qiangguo serve it for him, and sat on the sidelines staring at his son While eating, the little cat drooled and stared at the food in Mu Xibao's bowl, jumping back and forth between the father and son.

Shen Xi grabbed its bouncing cat body with one hand.

"Daddy, does the kitten also want to eat the baby's food?" Mu Xibao took a small wooden spoon and took a bite, staring curiously at the struggling kitten in Shen Xi's hand. Seeing his father nodding, he took another bite by himself , and then clumsily tried to feed the kitten with a small spoon.

"Baby, kittens can't be fed with a small spoon." Shen Xi hurriedly stopped his son from feeding, and asked Mu Qiangguo to find a plate and put it on the ground. He held his son's small hand in his big hand and poured the porridge from the small spoon into it.

When Mu Xibao saw that his father had finished cooking, he felt that there was very little food on the kitten's plate, so he picked up his own small wooden bowl and poured half of the porridge into the plate on the floor. He was very happy, and the cat ate the baby's meal.

The little kitty was free, and immediately went to the place the little master had won for it to lick and eat. Although the taste was not as good as the meat it ate last night, it could still make do with it.

"In the future, the baby will feed the kittens by himself, you know?" Shen Xi said to his son.

Mu Xibao nodded obediently.

After everyone finished eating, except for Shen Xi who wanted to look after his son, the big men were not idle. They divided the labor and cooperated to load the needed things into the cart, which would inevitably attract mutant animals, and they moved very lightly. Now, the four members of Mu Gui and Ma Ying's family got into the big car driven by Mu Qiangguo, while Mo Cheng and Shen Zhi drove their own small car as usual.

As soon as the two cars started to drive out, they naturally attracted several mutant dogs that were closer to the car and chased them fiercely behind the tail of the car. They didn't get rid of those mutant dogs until they drove for a long distance.

Shen Xi found that more and more types and numbers of mutated animals appeared along the way, and the village was not safe anymore.

The road into Bazi Village is really not easy to drive. The car "limped" a lot and shook all the way. It was not very comfortable for adults to sit on it. Only Mu Xibao was the happiest kid. , moving with the shaking of the car in Daddy's arms, even its kitten is like him, jumping around in the car, very agile, not like a cat with supernatural powers anywhere.

The villages passing by along the road were very quiet, and they didn't know if there were people in those houses, at least they didn't see anyone, and they didn't know where they went.

At noon, the car drove into Bazi Village. Mu Qiangguo was in the village, and Mu Gui lived in the middle of the village. The family of four thanked them, took their things, got out of the car and went home. They didn't have the nerve to ask for help. , Mu Qiangguo continued to drive the car until it stopped outside their old house.

"Finally home, home." Old lady Mu was the most excited. As soon as the car stopped and the door opened, she carried her things and ran down excitedly. The speed was as strong as ever.

Mu Jianguo held Da Ya in one hand and followed with two large bags of simple things in the other.

Shen Zhi and Mo Cheng were also full of curiosity about the place where they were going to live. The small car parked beside the big car, and the two quickly got out of the small car, carefully observing the surrounding environment.

Shen Xi stayed behind with his son and Mu Qiangguo in the car to sort out the things he needed, while Shen Zhi and Mo Cheng just wanted to go up to help.

"Who are you, why are you in my house?" Mrs. Mu's sharp voice floated over, because the road was built behind the house, and if you want to go to the gate, you have to go around. Naturally, the few of them couldn't see what was happening in front of them. what happened.

Hearing Mrs. Mu's roar, Shen Zhi and Mo Cheng turned around and ran over to help. Shen Xi and Mu Qiangguo didn't care about the things in the car, and followed after them.

When they reached the front of the house, they saw Mrs. Mu glaring fiercely at a middle-aged man, and Mu Jianguo stood behind her holding Da Ya.

"What is your house? This is obviously where I live. Go and go, old lady, don't stand in front of my house and mess around." The middle-aged man rushed away impatiently.

"Where you live, this is obviously my house. When did it become your house?" The old lady Mu was so angry that she raised her hand to scratch him, but the middle-aged man pushed her away unceremoniously. Mu Jianguo stood behind and supported the old lady. She was definitely going to fall and eat shit.

Mu Qiangguo ran over, without thinking about anything, and punched the middle-aged man cleanly. With a "bang", the middle-aged man literally fell, ate, shit.

"Mom, are you okay?" Mu Qiangguo looked at the old lady and asked with concern.

"It's okay, it's okay." Mrs. Mu waved her hand.

The middle-aged man struggled to get up from the ground, "You wait for me." Leaving a word, he stumbled and ran away.

Shen Zhi and Mo Cheng watched the middle-aged man run away, Shen Xi walked to Mu Qiangguo with his son on his back, looked at him suspiciously, Mu Qiangguo shook his head, he didn't know the middle-aged man either.

"Mom, you didn't know that man just now, so why did he appear in our house." Mu Jianguo frowned and asked instead.

Mrs. Mu checked that the lock of the house was not broken. Bazi Village is so remote, it is impossible for someone to rob her house, so there is only one possibility, and she explained: "I left a key for our house. Put it at your uncle's house, thinking that if they have time, they can help clean the dust in the house."

Could it be that the uncle's family is relatives of the uncle, but why haven't the two brothers met?
