the beginning of the end

"Bang—, bang—, bang—," voices sounded one after another.

Shen Xi stared downstairs and frowned, her hands holding the child were a little tight, and there was a trace of worry in her eyes.

"Ah——" a piercing scream sounded in her ears, and Liu Zhen looked out of the window in horror and shouted: "The——, what is that?"

"It can't be hailstones." Su Zi's voice trembled a little, looking at the hailstones that kept falling from the sky, the hailstones were about the size of two human fists, hitting the window sheds outside the house, the cars on both sides of the street, and the street The crackling sound resounded continuously in the ears of those who had no time to escape.

"There's blood, there's blood—" Seeing people killed by the hailstorm, people downstairs pushed people, screamed and cursed, and ran towards the gates of their respective residential units in chaos, some people were covered in blood Some of them ran to dodge, and some had their legs and hands broken, and some even had a hole in their heads. They were lying on the ground shaking, and the blood kept flowing out. Liu Zhen was so frightened that her face turned pale and her whole body She kept trembling, thinking that if she was also outside, she would become like that if she was hit by the hailstone. Thinking of that scene, Liu Zhen was terrified.

After a while, the snow-white street was stained with bright red blood, and many people died on the street.

Even Su Zi, a big man, was so frightened by the scene before him that he couldn't move his hands and feet. His feet were so frightened that his feet went limp. It's not that he hasn't seen dead people before, but it's the first time he's seen so many dead people with distorted death patterns. .

"This, how could there be—such—a large amount of hailstones." Su Zi stammered. City C is an inland city. How could there be such a large amount of snow and hailstones? It's too weird.

"Didn't the experts on TV say that the heavy snow will only last for a while? Why is there a lot of hailstones here?" It was so severe that it killed people, Liu Zhen began to distrust those experts who were employed by the country, and rushed to Su in fear. The son roared hysterically.

"I don't know either." He was not one of the experts hired by the state.

"You just know how to hide at home and eat. Besides eating, what else do you know." Liu Zhen continued to yell nervously, scaring the daughter standing beside her to cry.

"Stop making trouble, this is not at home." Su Zi got angry and raised his voice.

Liu Zhen was stopped by his high-pitched voice, thinking that she was not at her own home, she obediently shut up.

After all, the couple are ordinary people in the city, and after witnessing the shocking scene of hailstones smashing people to death, they were naturally frightened out of control and wanted to vent their anger.

Liu Zhen and Su Zi, who had calmed down, scanned the living room and found Shen Xi on the sofa. I don't know when he sat there. They saw him hugging his own child and feeding him clumsily with milk in his hand, as if he had just It's not a big deal at all, it's very quiet.

"Brother Shen, Brother Qiang has gone out." Su Zi finally remembered that there was another person in the house who had gone out and did not return home.

"With such a big hailstorm, it's very dangerous outside, and I don't know—" Liu Zhen pretended to be concerned about her words, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was wrong, and there was even a hint of gloating.

"Shut up." Before finishing speaking, Su Zi stopped and gave her a look.

Liu Zhen glared back at him, rolled her eyes, curled her lips, and was too lazy to talk to her man, so she asked him to pretend to be a good person, and pulled her daughter to sit under the air conditioner in the house to keep warm, thinking that with such a big hailstorm outside, that powerful country would not know whether it would return or not. It is not certain that I will come back.

Shen Xi didn't mind the quarrel between the couple at all, but what Su Zi said was annoying, and he regretted shutting them out just now.

"He'll be fine." Thinking that Su Zi is also Mu Qiangguo's friend, Shen Xi replied to him lightly.

Seeing that Shen Xi is not worried about Mu Qiangguo, and Su Zi is not easy to say anything to an outsider, he will never be able to say to help to find, the hailstorm is still falling outside, and he does not dare to go out after seeing those dead people. Silently, he went to sit with his wife and daughter.

For a while, there was only the crackling sound of falling outside, mixed with the screams of people crying and crying, which made people panic.

Only Shen Xi concentrated on feeding his son milk as if he didn't hear anything.

Mu Xibao was young and ignorant, he was frightened just now with his father's company, and soon he was no longer afraid. He pushed the small bowl that Shen Xi handed over, and said tenderly: "Daddy, I'm full." He couldn't eat anymore.

Shen Xi put down the bowl and wiped his son's mouth.

In the corner, Su Xiang smelled the fragrance of milk in the air, and stared greedily at the small half bowl of milk that Shen Xi put on the coffee table after feeding his son, it smelled so good.

Seeing Su Xiang's expression, Liu Zhen pinched her daughter's hand and said angrily, "It's useless."

The little girl Su Xiang was hurt by the pinch, and burst into tears, her eyes still did not move away from the milk.

"She's still young and doesn't understand anything. Why are you pinching her?" Su Zi naturally also noticed the actions of his wife and daughter. He glanced at Liu Zhen complainingly, and coaxed his daughter in a low voice.

Although my family rushed to buy a lot of food in the supermarket last time, they were all godmothers, rice, noodles, meat, milk for my daughter, and snacks.

"It's not that you are useless. You can't get anything in the supermarket. You can't even satisfy your daughter's desire for milk. Do you think you are still a man and a father?" Liu Zhen immediately became ashamed and grabbed Su Zi. If you make a mistake, just start scolding.

Su Zi thought to himself, it's not because you didn't let the child be spoiled or buy it in order to save money. At this time, she was scolded so shamelessly that she lowered her head sullenly and didn't speak.

Shen Xi would never take out the milk in the space for Liu Zhen's daughter to drink. Hearing Liu Zhen's complaining voice, he just felt a little annoyed by the couple. He thought Mu Qiangguo would ask him to invite this family to leave after he came back. is not good at handling these things.

However, for these two couples to be so noisy in other people's homes, Shen Xi finds it more troublesome than old lady Mu.

Mu Xibao stayed in Shen Xi's arms to digest food, looked at Su Xiang who was crying, glanced at her, followed her gaze to see his small bowl, blinked his ignorant eyes, it turned out that my sister wanted to drink the baby's grandma ?

"Daddy, the baby wants to play." Mu Xibao struggled in Shen Xi's arms.

Shen Xi let his son go to the ground.

Mu Xibao picked up the small bowl on the coffee table and walked slowly towards Su Xiang.

Shen Xi stared at Mu Xibao's movements in amazement. He was very happy that his son was so smart, but when he thought that his son was so defenseless, he was a bit stupid like his father, so he needed to be educated.

Su Zi stared at the child with unclear movements, but Liu Zhen quickly flashed a hint of disgust in his eyes.

Mu Xibao approached and handed the small bowl to Su Xiang, "Sister, drink, grandma."

The child's immature and clear voice sounded, and Su Zi's face suddenly turned into a pig's liver color, which was very ugly. He felt that the child was too ignorant. Why did he drink the leftovers for his daughter? Could it be that his daughter is only worthy of drinking the leftovers? , Thinking of the embarrassment Shen Xi gave him just outside the door, he must be taught by Shen Xi to behave like this.

Liu Zhen was also not happy that her daughter drank other people's leftovers.

"Thank you, brother." Su Xiang was ignorant, picked up the small bowl and drank the rest of the milk, smiling happily.

When Mu Xibao saw the strange young lady smiling, he also laughed.

The two little guys went to play.

-

The hailstorm continued for half the afternoon, and many window sheds outside the house were smashed.

Su Zi and his wife have never left. The air conditioner in their house broke down in the middle of the night last night. No matter how many degrees the room is below zero, no matter how much they wear, they can’t stop the cold air. Finally, there is a warm air conditioner blowing. Both of them were reluctant to leave.

And as long as they think of the dead people on the street in the afternoon, the couple will not dare to go home to sleep, after all, there are many people, so they can feel at ease.

Shen Xi ignored them, and just pretended that the three extra people in the room didn't exist, and continued to watch over his son to read, but the increasingly dark sky made his eyes tinge with worry.

Shen Xi and Mu Qiangguo have the space to act as mediators. If another person dies, he can feel it immediately, but he still can't feel the danger and injury in his current state. Therefore, Shen Xi began to worry that Mu Qiangguo was It's not because she was injured, she picked up the phone and made a few calls but couldn't get through, Shen Xi couldn't calm down a little.

It was gradually getting dark outside, and when his son Mu Xibao was tired from playing and started clamoring again to ask Shen Xi for his father, Mu Qiangguo finally returned home.
