Although they had an ox cart, Mu Zhenzhen and Liu Wangcai, under Liu Wangcai's intentional delay, reached Dahuo Village at noon. After saying goodbye at the village entrance, Mu Zhenzhen hurriedly rushed home for lunch.
Before entering the house, she deliberately wiped the sweat off her face with a handkerchief and tidied herself up before pushing open the gate of Zhuangzi's family courtyard.
She tried pushing, but it wouldn't move, which left Mu Shuangshuang stunned.
"What's going on? They only lock the courtyard gate at night."
All three of Zhuangzi's brothers were strong, especially his second brother, who used to be a famous hunter in the area, so Zhuangzi's family didn't worry about thieves.
After pushing several times and failing to open the gate, Mu Zhenzhen noticed Xiao Mizi inside the courtyard, enjoying a bowl of rice. Glancing inside, she could faintly see heaps of meat piled in the bowl.
