Chapter 43 Social Cancer
After walking out of the shelter, the cold air outside seemed to become particularly fresh and pleasant.
After having severely tricked the Mu family, Mu Jiu felt refreshed, and the heavy stone that had been weighing on his heart had finally fallen.
With the violent tempers and methods of those big brothers, she didn't need to do it herself, she could imagine how that family died.
After all, the shelter is just a concentration camp, and beating someone up and throwing them out is no different from dumping their bodies.
It was still early, so Mu Jiu returned to the market to look for the Gu siblings and the Lou mother and daughter.
From a distance, I could see Gu Yang, who was 183cm tall, with his sister, followed by the mother and daughter of the Lou family, standing in front of a stall and bargaining with people.
Mu Jiu walked towards them, but before he arrived, he noticed that behind Lou's mother, there was a little boy about thirteen or fourteen years old, who was short and acted stealthily.
The market is a mixed bag, with thieves and robbers a common sight. Most of them are people who are short of food and clothing and have nowhere else to turn, but of course there are exceptions.
At the moment when the little boy used a knife to cut open Lou's mother's backpack, Mu Jiu grabbed his wrist and caught him red-handed.
"You are so young, where did you learn this trick of stealing things?"
Mu Jiu's voice and actions immediately attracted the attention of most people around him.
Mother Lou only reacted when she heard the sound and checked her backpack.
"Ah, why don't I feel anything at all..."
Suddenly, there was a palm-sized hole on the backpack, and the objects inside were clearly visible.
Lou Nan hurried forward to help her mother organize the newly purchased supplies in her bag, which was stuffed to the point of almost overflowing.
The little boy was captured by Mu Jiu. He couldn't move his hand holding the knife at all. He couldn't run away and was in so much pain that he wanted to jump up and down.
"Let me go, let me go now! Otherwise I will make you pay!"
"The kid is quite arrogant. He did something shameful and yet he wants to threaten others!
Sister, I think we should just hand him over to the officer on guard outside. This kid is obviously a repeat offender!"
Gu Yang just couldn't stand the child. He thought he was asking for his life if he dared to threaten his sister.
But at this moment, Lou's mother, who had packed her bag and supplies, spoke up:
"Ms. Mu, we have everything.
Considering that he is just a child, why not let him go this time!
Survival in the apocalypse is difficult, and it's not easy for anyone. Look at his hands full of frostbite, it's obvious that no one cares about him.
Just a few words of advice, we won't lose anything."
Before Mu Jiu could speak, Gu Yang refused to accept and said:
"Auntie Lou, the things are not missing. It's not that the child has lost his way and has come back, but that the elder sister happened to pass by and saw it, and caught it in time!
He was caught red-handed, so even if he wanted to deny it, he can't!"
"You're talking nonsense. I didn't steal it. I just wanted to try out the knife I just bought and I accidentally scratched myself. I didn't steal it!"
The child was quite confused, but he still acted confidently and didn't seem to be afraid at all.
After hearing the child's excuse, Mu Jiu didn't want to indulge him anymore. He exerted force with his fingers, and the knife in the child's hand fell to the ground instantly.
Mu Jiu forcibly pried open the child's palm and stretched it in front of Lou's mother.
“Gu Yang is right, this kid is a habitual thief, the calluses on his hands are proof of that.
Auntie Lou, you have a kind heart, but if we let people like this go on, they will eventually become a social cancer.”
After Mu Jiu finished speaking, he pushed the person to Gu Yang.
“Take Aunt Lou’s bag and this knife, and hand the person over to the police guarding the perimeter. They will handle it.
Gu Nuan, please go with your brother. We will continue to stroll around here and wait for you to come back."
Watching the Gu brothers and sisters walk away, Mu Jiucai smiled and said to Mother Lou:
"Auntie, you should pick out another backpack."
Mu Jiu knew that Aunt Lou must miss her son very much, so he couldn't bear to blame a child too much.
Even though that night the Lou family father and son locked the mother and daughter outside the door and they almost froze to death.
But when Mrs. Lou saw her husband and son being hacked to death by the housekeeping department, with their bodies broken into pieces and scattered at the door of the service hall, she still cried all night.
She carefully collected the bodies of the two men, even dressed them in clean clothes, before sending them for cremation.
People can feel resentment and hatred while they are alive, but when they die, all the resentment becomes thoughts, and the deeper the hatred, the deeper the thoughts.
What's more, they are her own flesh and blood.
If there hadn't been the apocalypse, perhaps we could still remain the same and be a happy family.
When the Gu siblings came back, Lou's mother had already changed into a new bag.
In order to thank Mu Jiu and the Gu brothers and sisters for their help, she specially gave each of them a cashmere hat as a thank you gift.
Mu Jiu and his group of five got on the return Mercedes-Benz G at the scheduled time, 3:00 p.m.
Except for Mu Jiu, everyone gained a lot from this trip.
Along the way, he was counting the items he had exchanged for, just like he was going out for a shopping spree before the end of the world.
But as soon as the car drove out of the area under the jurisdiction of the rescue center’s military, it was stopped by a group of people.
Mu Jiu spotted the little boy who had just been taken to the patrol by the Gu family siblings in the crowd ahead...
"Sister, we really handed the person over to the police!" Gu Yang explained hurriedly.
Mu Jiu didn't want to blame them, and responded calmly: "Yeah, I know."
This group of people are not simple.
Mu Jiu's eyes were fixed on the large group of people in front of him and he slowly stopped the car.
This group of people did not look strong, they were skinny and looked malnourished.
But they all have guns!
This explains why the little boy became a habitual thief in the market.
The thieves who are handed over to the patrol police will also appear outside the jurisdiction of the army.
Although Mu Jiu's G-Class has good performance, it is not bulletproof.
It would be easy for her to escape by herself. At worst, she could just hide in space or teleport away.
But there were her people in the car, she didn't want to abandon them easily, nor was she willing to expose the matter of the space, so she had to deal with it as it came.
As soon as the car stopped, the group of people immediately surrounded it.
The thin man in the lead, led the little boy to stand outside the door of Mu Jiu's driver's seat, knocking on the glass with the tip of the gun, signaling her to open the door.
Mu Jiu calmly lowered the car window, and the black muzzle of the gun, which was flashing with cold light, was immediately pointed at Mu Jiu's chest.
"Was it this woman who caught you?" the thin man with the gun asked the little boy behind him.
"It's her!" the child said affirmatively, but when he looked at Mu Jiu, his arrogance weakened a little.
"Yes, it was her... She was the one who dislocated my right hand!"
When the thin man heard this, a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes. How dare you attack his people? Okay!
"Girl, you are so arrogant, get out of the car! Quickly!
Everyone in the car, get out! If you don't obey me, be careful, my gun has no eyes! "
