After picking up a lucky girl, all the beasts line up to come to your door

Chapter 248 Even in the mountains there are a large number of disaster victims

"Little squirrel!" Baby Mu squatted in front of the little squirrel and stroked its soft tail. "Are you cold?"

"We can warm ourselves by the fire at home."

After saying that, she carried the little squirrel to the main room to warm herself by the fire.

When Zhu saw her coming in with the little squirrel in her arms, she took out some melon seeds and peanuts from a big box and stuffed them into the little squirrel's mouth. This animal should eat melon seeds and peanuts, right?

The little squirrel rolled up the melon seeds and peanuts with his tail, and then squeaked at the wooden baby.

"Oh, are there people from other villages eating tree bark in the mountains?" Mu Baobao's eyes widened when he heard this. "Tree bark can't be eaten."

The little squirrel was still squeaking.

Mu Baobao nodded from time to time, and his expression changed from time to time.

Zhu was having some fun, as if she was watching a face-changing scene.

After listening to the little squirrel's words, Mu Baobao took a lot of melon seeds and peanuts from Zhu and gave them to the little squirrel before reluctantly sending it away.

After sending the little squirrel away, she ran to Zhu and said, "Grandma, the little squirrel said that many people from other villages have come to the mountain, and all of them are dirty."

Zhu guessed that they were disaster victims.

She put down the work in her hands, her face darkening slightly, "Baby, what else did the little squirrel say?"

Wood Baby hummed, "Little Squirrel also said that those people were either chewing tree bark or looking for grass and wild fruits to eat."

"And the people who went hunting with me, they ate the meat just like that, without even cooking it."

Is uncooked meat delicious?

When Zhu saw her expression, she knew what she was thinking and quickly said, "Baby, you will get sick if you eat uncooked meat."

"Those people eat like that because they don't have tools. You can't learn from them, okay?"

When Mu Baobao heard the word "sick", his face immediately frowned, "Don't be sick, don't be sick!"

"Grandma, I promise I won't eat uncooked meat."

She absolutely did not want to get sick and drink that bitter medicine.

Zhu tapped her forehead lightly. The baby was almost two years old and had only been sick once when she was a few months old.

Feeding the medicine that time was really tiring.

"Baby, how many disaster victims are there in the mountains?"

Baby Mu shook his head and said, "I don't know. The little squirrel said there are a lot of them. They have occupied a lot of space in the mountains."

"The little squirrel also said that he was afraid these people would come to our village, so he came to tell me."

Zhu guessed that there must be quite a few disaster victims in the mountains. Although it was winter, there was still some food in the mountains.

"Old man, old man!" she shouted.

Father Mu walked quickly to the main hall door, stood there and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhu told the story of the disaster victims in the mountains, "Go tell the village chief. We can't be careless about this."

"No one can guarantee that the disaster victims will not run from the mountains to our village."

Old Man Mu wiped the sweat from his forehead, responded and went to do the job.

Zhu also told her family to be more careful recently, as there were quite a few victims and they had to be well prepared.

Zhu's guess was correct. Some of the disaster victims in the mountains were planning to attack Xingzi Village.

Some disaster victims stood on the mountain, looking at Xingzi Village below.

"Boss, let's go rob this village? That way we'll have food, drink, and a place to stay."

"I've noticed that every household in Xingzi Village has smoke coming out of their kitchens at mealtimes, which means they have enough food stored."

The man called the boss looked very weathered and his age was hard to tell.

"Don't rush."

He was very calm. "There are so many villagers in Xingzi Village. It would be difficult to accomplish anything with only ten of us."

"In the next few days, observe Xingzi Village carefully and see if there is any place that is easy to enter."

They fled from the village, not having enough food or warm clothes along the way, and they survived entirely by willpower.

Now, with such a good chance to survive in front of him, he must seize it no matter what.

These people are very obedient. They are only able to survive today thanks to their boss.

The eldest brother observed Xingzi Village again and then wandered around.

Xingzi Village already has a patrol team under the arrangement of the village chief.

When the village chief learned that there were still many victims in the mountains, he did not care about anything else and immediately arranged a patrol team.

Young and middle-aged men from ten villages patrol the village and its surroundings in batches from morning to night.

Prevent disaster victims and other things.

All the villagers were holding long sticks.

Compared with weapons such as kitchen knives, long sticks can play the greatest role in heavy snow and can also prevent yourself from getting into trouble.

When the villagers learned that there was still a large group of disaster victims in the mountains, they were all very scared and uneasy. Those were the disaster victims who would do anything for a bite of food.

Therefore, the vast majority of villagers and their neighbors are protected by the men in their families.

The Mu family has the least shortage of men. When combined with their next-door neighbors, there are even more people available to patrol at night.

It was okay during the day. If someone shouted, the villagers would come to help.

Mainly at night.

That night.

It was snowing heavily outside, and the pitch-black night made it almost impossible to see anything around.

Zhu hugged the sleeping wooden baby, but couldn't fall asleep.

She glanced at Old Man Mu, who was sitting at the door with a stick in his hand, and whispered, "Go get some sleep. It's not time for you to keep watch."

Mu Laodi sighed, "I can't sleep."

"I don't feel safe here. I always feel like something is going to happen."

Zhu was also uneasy. "With so many disaster victims, no one can feel at ease."

"What I worry about most is that the disaster victims will rush into the village."

She had experienced years of disaster and knew very well what the victims would do to get food.

Father Mu glanced at his granddaughter and said, "If it really doesn't work, I'll ask Mr. Cheng and Doctor Deng for help."

"We two old ones have lived for most of our lives, and we have more than enough, but we can't let the young ones get into trouble."

Zhu had no objection.

She patted her granddaughter's head and said, "During this period, the women in the family should not go out."

"Some of the disaster victims are no longer human. I'm worried about what might happen to the women in my family."

Father Mu nodded and said, "Talk to your three daughters-in-law tomorrow and tell them to take care of the baby."

"Children like to go out and play, and I'm worried about the baby running around."

Zhu hummed.

Like Mu Laodi and his wife, there are many other families in the village who are so worried that they can't sleep and are keeping watch all night.

After dawn.

Zhu invited her three daughters-in-law over and told them to stay at home for the time being and not go out.

"There are disaster victims outside. We women need to be more careful, okay?"

The three daughters-in-law understood and their faces turned slightly pale. "Okay, mother."

Zhu then reminded them, "You guys should stay with the baby recently. The child likes to run outside."

The three daughters-in-law agreed.

"Are they all here?" Doctor Deng came.

Mrs. Zhu hurried over to greet him and asked her three daughters-in-law to prepare breakfast. "Why is Doctor Deng here so early?"
