Peking Opera Cat: I Became A Zi's Brother

Chapter 502 The Child Returns Home!

"Let's go back to the village first and see what happens next!"

The cats could only drag their tired bodies back to the village they had passed before, intending to rest there first and then plan their next move.

"Why has this place become like this?"

"No, that's absolutely impossible!"

But when the outline of the village came into view, they were stunned by the scene before them.

"call--"

The village, which was once peaceful and harmonious, full of the atmosphere of daily life, is now like a hell on earth, with only a horrific ruin left.

"Cough cough..."

The pungent smell of gunpowder and the chaotic atmosphere intertwined together, making people feel sick.

The broken walls and ruins trembled in the wind, as if they were crying out for the atrocities they had endured. The charred beams of the house were scattered all over the ground, the scars of the fire were shocking.

"Why is this place so messy?"

The ground was covered with messy footprints, traces of fighting, and some broken daily necessities, as if silently recreating the tragic disaster.

"Why……"

Bai Tang's eyes instantly turned red, and her voice was trembling with disbelief:

"How could it become like this... Didn't we repel the enemy? Is this all an illusion?"

Wu Song's face was so gloomy that it looked like water could drip out of it. He clenched his fists tightly, his joints turning white from the force, veins popping out on his forehead, and roared angrily:

"This is definitely the work of An's minions! They took advantage of our absence to attack the villagers who had no chance to fight back. It's truly despicable!"

"Will not……"

Xiaoqing covered her mouth, her eyes full of fear and grief, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Damn it!"

Da Fei kicked a blackened stone at his feet. The stone rolled and hit the broken wall with a dull sound, venting his inner anger.

"chaos!"

Mo Zi and Ming Yue stood there, their faces filled with shock and grief, unable to speak for a long time.

"Uh--"

In the dead silence, a faint groan broke the peace.

Bai Tang's ears moved and he shouted:

"And there are living cats!"

The cats quickly ran towards the sound and found the old cat they had seen before under a collapsed house.

"Huh—"

It was breathing weakly, its body was covered with scars, its hair was messily stuck to the bloody wounds, and every breath was accompanied by a painful twitch.

Bai Tang gently helped the old cat up, her voice filled with tears:

"Hold on, we're here! Who are those bad guys?"

The old cat struggled to open his eyes, his cloudy eyeballs bloodshot, and said in a trembling voice:

"As soon as you left... a group of guys with the aura of chaos arrived. They said... they wanted to avenge the escaped monster."

"boom!"

Wu Song punched the ground, sending up a cloud of dust. He gritted his teeth and said,

"It's all our fault. If only we had dealt with that monster sooner."

Xiaoqing shed tears and quickly formed seals with her hands, continuously supplying rhythmic power to the old cat, trying to ease its pain. Tears dripped onto the old cat's body and mixed with blood.

Da Fei pulled his hair in self-blame, his eyes red, his voice choked with sobs:

"Why didn't we expect them to retaliate against the village!"

"These……"

At this time, Mingyue squatted down and carefully examined the footprints on the ground. The footprints on the ground were in a mess. Some were fleeing in a hurry, some were pacing back and forth, and there were heavy dragging marks.

She frowned, pointed her finger along the direction of the footprints, and said after a moment:

"These footprints are messy, but some of them go east of the village. Maybe they went that way."

Mo Zi stood aside, observing her surroundings quietly. She picked up a piece of torn clothing with strange symbols embroidered on it, like the mark of some dark force.

She handed the clothes to Wu Song and said in a deep voice:

"This might help us find them."

"Please take a good rest first, we will help you get revenge!"

The cats placed the old cat in a relatively safe place, left some food and medicine, and chased in the direction of the footprints with anger and determination.

"Chaos must be eradicated!"

Along the way, they found more signs of destruction. The trees on the roadside were cut in half and the crops in the farmland were trampled into a mess. Every place seemed to remind them of the cruelty of the enemy.

As we went deeper, a huge cave appeared in front of us, and the entrance was filled with a thick atmosphere of chaos.

Bai Tang held the bell of justice tightly and said loudly:

"They must be inside. This time, we will never let them escape!"

Wu Song, holding a whistle stick, walked into the cave first and looked around vigilantly.

The cave was dark and damp, with cold water dripping from the walls. The ground was bumpy and uneven, and strange noises could be heard from time to time.

At the far end of the cave, they found some discarded items, among which was a tattered map.

The map marks the route to the center of the Changzong, as well as several mysterious strongholds.

Bai Tang said excitedly:

"This map might help us find the lair of the Dark Minions, and even lead us to the center of the Singing Sect!"

"It seems like this is the only thing we can do!"

The cats looked at each other, their eyes revealing their determination to face death. Then they slowly walked out of the cave with this precious map and continued their journey.

"Let's go back and say goodbye to Grandpa first!"

……

They moved forward in the direction indicated on the map. As they went along, the scenery along the road gradually became different, and the architectural style began to show the unique charm of Changzong.

Although the shops on the street are a bit run-down, one can still vaguely see their former prosperity. They know that they are gradually approaching the center of the singing sect, and a more difficult challenge may be waiting for them ahead.

Following the instructions on the map, the cats headed towards the center of Changzong.

The closer he got to his destination, the more anxious Dafei's steps became, and his eyes were filled with anticipation of returning home.

"Hurry, it'll be there soon."

Dafei kept muttering to himself, his mind filled with his grandmother's warm smile and the familiar bamboo forest.

"call out……"

Finally, after turning a corner, a lush bamboo forest came into view.

The breeze blew, and the bamboo leaves rustled, as if playing a welcoming melody.

Da Fei's eyes instantly became moist, and his voice trembled slightly with excitement:

"It's right here. My home is behind this bamboo forest."

As he spoke, he rushed into the bamboo forest impatiently, and the bamboo leaves under his feet made crisp sounds.

“The scenery here is not bad at all!”

The cats followed closely behind, stunned by the beauty before them.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the bamboo leaves, forming golden beams of light, adding a touch of mystery to the bamboo forest.

"I can finally meet Dafei's grandma. I also want to have a good meal!"

After a while, an ancient courtyard appeared in front of everyone.

The fence in the yard is covered with morning glories. Although it looks a bit dilapidated, you can still see the warmth it once had.

"call--"

Dafei stood in front of the courtyard gate, his hand suspended in mid-air, and was hesitant to push the door open.

His chest heaved violently, and the emotions that had been accumulating all the way were about to burst out.

"I'm back, grandma."

He whispered softly, with tears in his voice.

At this moment, he seemed to have seen his grandmother walking out of the house quickly, greeting him with a surprised and kind smile on her face.
