But who knew that at this moment, Zhang Qihai immediately raised his hand to stop him.
"Let's put it on when we leave."
When he heard this, there was some confusion in the old man's eyes. He didn't know why he said this at this time.
"Why? Didn't you just say that you would let them go now?"
After hearing this, Zhang Qihai began to explain seriously.
"Because given their personalities, they definitely won't know what they did wrong. Instead, they will think that what we did to them is outrageous."
"When I said let them go, it didn't mean we had to leave right away. It would be difficult for them to catch up with us in their current state. But if we let them go now and leave tomorrow, they might do something to us after a day of rest."
After hearing this, the old man nodded in agreement. Yes, why didn’t he think of this?
So at this moment he suddenly realized and spoke.
"Yes, yes, that's right. I didn't think it through."
I have to say that these two people are indeed very powerful. They even took such aspects into consideration.
However, this is not a big deal for Zhang Qihai and Qi Tiezui. They have indeed experienced a lot of things and suffered a lot of losses before, so they are so thoughtful at this time.
"Let's go, let's tell everyone the news first."
After hearing this, the old man naturally nodded immediately, and then sent a few people to stay here to guard these Hei Qiao people to prevent them from doing anything, and then he followed the rest of the people to move in front of everyone.
Those people had been waiting in the house for a long time and had no idea what was going on outside.
After seeing everyone and seeing them coming in front of him, they came forward and asked.
"How's it going? How's it going?"
"What did you do to them?"
"Yeah, yeah, I want to know that too."
Chapter 688: One Night's Rest
Everyone started talking, and the old man naturally told everyone what had just happened without any reservation.
After hearing these words, everyone felt very proud when they met.
The day finally came for them.
So at this moment, almost everyone's face showed a little happiness.
This is naturally a good thing for them.
"They should have been punished like this a long time ago. Fortunately, we have this opportunity. Otherwise, they might have continued to bully us."
"Yes, all of this is thanks to them, otherwise we might still not know what to do now."
Everyone turned around and expressed their gratitude to Zhang Qihai, Qi Tiezui and the people behind them.
Seeing how polite they were, everyone naturally shook their heads immediately.
"It's okay, it's okay. This is what we should do. We are all friends now, and it's only right for us to help each other."
"Yes, yes, okay, okay, don't say so much now, let's talk about what we are going to do next."
After hearing this, the old man announced what they had just decided.
"We'll rest tonight and set off directly tomorrow."
Everyone was naturally very happy after hearing this, as they were finally going to leave such a place.
They thought they might have to stay here for the rest of their lives, but now it seems that this was just what they thought.
How could this not be a good thing for them?
Several people had some happiness on their faces and jumped up and down.
"Great, great, we are finally leaving!"
"I have finally waited for this day. This is what I have always dreamed of!"
Everyone expressed their joy, and others felt really distressed when they saw them like this.
After all, the Baiqiao people didn’t understand the situation in their village at the beginning. Now that they understand it, they really feel that their life is too difficult.
If it were them, they might not be able to hold on for so long, nor would they be able to survive relying on their passion.
Although these people are not women or children, their persistence is really amazing.
"Then let's have a good rest tonight, have a good meal tonight, and then hit the road tomorrow!"
No one had any other objections to this, and it was indeed the best arrangement for him.
Then everyone started to get ready, as they must have a good meal tonight.
Because before this, they were very frugal with the food they stored and did not dare to eat too much, for fear of having no food for the next meal.
Not only that, before this, there were other people, including the Hei Qiao people, who would come to steal their food, so they had no way to get any protection at all.
It is precisely because of this that they are very cautious when eating and dare not eat too much.
They felt they might starve to death if there was no way to preserve the little food they had.
But now it is different. They will set out for pilgrimage tomorrow. As long as they prepare the dry food and the things they need to bring, they can now enjoy the rest at will.
Everyone started to participate in cooking.
Some people were washing vegetables, some were cutting vegetables, and some were starting to cook.
Everyone was talking and laughing, and naturally they were very friendly.
"When do you think we can find Master Zhang?"
At this moment, there was a hint of worry in Qi Tiezui's eyes. He couldn't help but frowned slightly and said these words.
After hearing this, Zhang Qihai raised his hand, patted his shoulder gently, and spoke comfortingly.
"It's okay, it's okay. I'm still here. No matter what happens, we will definitely find it."
After hearing this, Qi Tiezui finally felt relieved.
Yes, they can't give up now no matter what.
Once you give up, I'm afraid everything will become worse.
Besides, the current situation is indeed much better than what they have encountered before.
At least there are so many people accompanying me now. Not only that, they have also solved a lot of problems and are now about to prepare to go home.
Just as the two were talking about this, suddenly a child came up to them.
"Brother, can you tell me what the world outside is like?"
After hearing this, both of them naturally immediately looked at him.
Before the two of them could say anything, another adult came over and took the child away awkwardly. The child smiled and spoke sheepishly.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't take good care of the child, you don't have to worry about him."
After hearing this, Zhang Qihai just shook his head gently, then smiled at her kindly and spoke.
"It's okay, just leave the child here and we'll help you look after him."
The child also looked like he really wanted to stay with the two of them.
But his mother seemed a little embarrassed.
So Qi Tiezui immediately spoke up.
"Yeah, let him stay with us. If he wants to hear anything, we can talk to him."
Since both of them have already said such words, it would be a bit inappropriate if I still refused.
So the mother nodded gently and placed the child next to the two of them, and said a word too embarrassedly.
"Then I'll go get busy first. I'll trouble you two to look after it."
It is impossible for them to refuse.
So he nodded slightly.
Then the mother joined the others and started cooking.
And the little child asked in a baby voice.
"Brother, can you tell me what the outside world is like? I have been here since I was born, and I have no idea what the outside world is like."
Seeing the expectation in his eyes, the two of them felt more or less heartbroken.
I have to say, this is really a tragedy.
But no matter what, things are different now. Although he lived here before, they are about to leave and go to a better world.
Chapter 689 Yearning
Seeing the child's longing eyes, Zhang Qihai felt a little uncomfortable.
So he softened his tone and spoke.
"There's a lot more to the world outside than here right now. There's a lot of good food out there, and a lot of fun things to do."
These children are so innocent and cute, but they have been harmed by these people and become like this.
When he thought of this, he became very angry.
But no matter how bad things happened in the past, everything has passed, and a new world is waiting for them.
After hearing this, the little boy's eyes lit up a little, and he seemed to have some yearning for it.
He had only heard about it from other people before, but had never seen it with his own eyes. How could he not be happy when he had such an opportunity?
So at this moment he nodded happily and spoke.
"Thank you, brother, but can you tell me what those toys and food are? I have never eaten them."
There was no way Zhang Qihai would hide anything from him, so he told him in detail what the outside world was like.
Qi Tiezui on the side also added with a smile.
