Doomsday housewives: the head of the family does not bow down

Chapter 131 Queuing up to cross the bridge
Mu Cang was shocked, "Bleeding? What do you mean?"

Lu Youran made a chopping gesture and said: "The principle of blocking the road and robbing is the same. Those who have supplies must hand over the supplies, and those who do not have the supplies can use people as collateral to top up the amount. It is said that there will be a grand sacrificial ceremony in three days. . Those who want to cross the bridge must do so within these three days. Once the dragon flies into the sky, the Zhenlong Bridge will have to sink to the bottom."

Mu Cang frowned, "The grandma by the river told you this?"

Lu Youran nodded.

Mu Cang was very puzzled, and asked, "I can understand the need for supplies, but what is the use of people?"

"Sacrificial Bridge."

Simian's voice suddenly came.

Mu Cang looked sideways and found that not only Simian, but also Xiao Zai and Gu Zhenxi, two children in the back seat, had woken up and were lying on the backrest, listening to the story seriously.

Mu Cang was secretly annoyed that she should get out of the car and talk to Youran, so he said in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, Auntie woke you up."

Gu Zhenxi shook his head, "Auntie, the traffic is stuck here. Are they all queuing up to cross the Zhenlong Bridge?"

Mu Cang nodded, feeling helpless, "It's already the end of the world, so why are they still holding sacrifices? Isn't this superstition?"

"The more desperate the situation, the more the power of faith will be highlighted." Si Mian was not surprised at all, but asked Lu Youran, "Who are the people guarding the bridge?"

Lu Youran thought about it, "It should be the militia formed by the nearby villages. They look fierce, but they don't look like ordinary villagers. By the way, Brother Mian, what do you mean by offering bridges?"

Si Mian paused, did not speak directly, but only vaguely said: "I hope it's not what I think."

Mu Cang also frowned, and replied, "Impossible, that's too unbelievable."

Lu Youran was confused, and looked at Xiao Zai and Gu Zhenxi. The two children shook their heads tacitly, expressing that they also did not understand.

"I'll go down and see."

Simian was about to open the car door when suddenly a scream came from the front. At the same time, a man holding a steel bar stumbled towards this side.

His face was covered in blood, his lips were bruised, and he was wiping his eyes with his clothes in a panic.

Mu Cang pulled Simian back and said, "The driver of the car next to you."

As soon as she finished speaking, the man had already opened the car door and got into the car, rolled up the window vigilantly, and did not respond to the eyes of those nearby who were looking at him.

Lu Youran exclaimed: "Did this old man go to argue and then get beaten?"

Mu Cang frowned. Since the apocalypse, everyone's emotions have been very unstable, and it is common for them to fight.

Si Mian jumped out of the car.

Mu Cang thought he was going to inquire about the situation, but he didn't expect that he knocked on the driver's window next door, took a pack of cigarettes, and pressed it against the glass window.

Then the glass window opened a crack.

After Si Mian asked something, he threw the cigarette through the crack in the glass.

Mucang leaned over and asked, "Did he say what happened?"

Simian shook his head, "Sister, I'll go to the front and take a look."

Lu Youran hurriedly said: "Hey Brother Mian, Brother Mian, take me, let's go and have a look together."

Mu Cang hurriedly instructed: "Be careful, don't argue with others, just go back after seeing the situation."

"Hey, good."

Si Mian and Lu Youran responded in unison, and they had already disappeared.

It wasn't just Simian and Lu Youran, there were many vehicles blocked behind, and one or two people would get off from time to time, walking through the traffic and heading to the bridge to investigate the situation.

Everyone thought about Zhenlong Bridge, but right now, Zhenlong Bridge is in the hands of a group of united villagers.

They wanted supplies and people, and threatened that in three days, the bridge, which had not collapsed for 700 years, would sink to the bottom on the day when the dragon ascended to the sky.

Many people did not believe it, thinking that this was an excuse for extortion by the villagers.

Mu Cang didn't believe it either.

The rain stopped yesterday evening, and this morning there was an orange-red glow peeking out from the clouds.

The sky has cleared, and the torrent of Ruijiang will no longer rush.

Things are only going to get better, bridge collapse is nonsense.

After Xiao Zai unlocked Meow, he turned his back and swiped his little finger across the screen.

Mu Cang curiously looked in the rearview mirror and found that the little guy was covered tightly. Not to mention that Gu Zhenxi couldn't see anything, even she, the mother, couldn't see anything either.

However, Gu Zhenxi's attention was not on Xiao Zai.

He saw Aunt Tan and Grandpa Niu's faces were very red, so he stretched out his hand to touch them, then became nervous, and shouted to Mu Cang: "Auntie, Auntie!"

Mu Cang quickly turned around, "What's wrong?"

Gu Zhenxi pointed at Tan Mingyu, "It's hot, it's so hot. Aunt Tan and Grandpa Niu, it's so hot."

Mu Cang unbuckled his seat belt, turned over and stepped into the back seat, and touched the foreheads of Tan Mingyu and Uncle Niu, they were scorching hot.

The two men's faces were red and their bodies were burning hot. They were obviously so burned that they passed out.

No wonder the children woke up and eavesdropped when they were talking just now, but the two of them, who were always vigilant, fell asleep instead.

Mu Cang took out the thermometer in his bag and tested the two people. Tan Mingyu had 41 degrees and Uncle Niu had 41.5 degrees, both of which were already in a high fever state.

Gu Zhenxi and Xiao Zai surrounded each other, each pushed the other, and shouted——

"Aunt Tan, Aunt Tan, wake up quickly."

"Grandpa Niu, what's wrong with you? Wake up quickly."

Gu Zhenxi was panicked. His father often had fevers, and every situation was critical.

He looked at Mu Cang in horror, and begged, "Auntie, I'll get out of the car and go to the doctor, okay?"

The situation outside was messy, how could Mu Cang feel at ease, and let Gu Zhenxi, a four-year-old child, get out of the car to find someone.

She reassured: "Don't worry Zhenxi, brother Simian will be back soon. Let's use towels to cool down Aunt Qin and Grandpa Niu first."

Xiao Zai also said: "Yes, little brother, it's not very good outside."

His little finger pointed out the window, and it happened that a man with big buck teeth was sneaking in through the window.

After realizing that he was being stared at by the people in the car, he smiled and said, "What about that? I just want to ask if you can sell this car? How to sell it?"

Mu Cang picked up the shiny machete beside the handle, and said a word: "Get lost!"

"If you don't want to sell it, you won't sell it. Why are you so fierce, you shrew!"

The buck-toothed man cursed and left, but at the same time he felt happy in his heart. This ambulance is very good. There are either children or women and old people inside. It can be robbed, occupied, and forced!
Squinting his eyes, he hurried to a truck.

After being hit in recent days, Gu Zhenxi was no longer the innocent child he once was. He saw greed on the face of the buck-toothed man.

If you get out of the car without authorization, you will soon become a bargaining chip for being blackmailed.

He clenched his fists, looked at the pointer on Mucang's wrist, and secretly prayed that the big brother doctor would come back soon.

Xiao Zai imitated his mother, caressing Zhen Xi's back, "Little brother, don't worry, Si Mian will be back soon."

Gu Zhenxi nodded and forced a smile.
