But who knew that when everyone was about to go out, Zhang Qihai immediately stopped them.
When they saw Zhang Qihai make such a move, they naturally became very curious and didn't know what he meant.
So at this moment everyone's eyes couldn't help but look in his direction and asked curiously.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"Yeah, I finally got out now, why don't you let me out?"
Seeing them asking questions one by one, Zhang Qihai finally spoke.
"It's dark now and it's very dangerous outside. Why don't we rest here for the night?"
After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized what was going on.
If they thought about it carefully, it was indeed a desolate place outside. If they went out now, it would be tantamount to seeking death.
After all, many birds of prey and wild beasts came out late at night.
In this way, I feel that this is indeed the truth.
I have to say that Zhang Qihai is indeed very thoughtful, otherwise he would not have thought of this.
So at this moment they all nodded and spoke.
"Well, what you said is indeed true. It might be more dangerous for us to go out at night."
"Then let's rest here for one night and continue our journey tomorrow morning."
Everyone agreed with what Zhang Qihai said, so naturally there was no way they could continue on their journey.
They have just been through a lot.
But fortunately they did not encounter any danger.
Even though there was danger, no one was hurt.
Having finally come to this point, there is no way they would risk their lives.
So at this moment they will definitely listen carefully to their opinions.
Everyone agreed with this, so they sat down and prepared to have a good rest here for a night.
Everyone started chatting while eating the dry food they brought.
"I never thought that I would actually be able to walk out of that village one day. I originally thought that I would die there."
Someone in the crowd suddenly spoke these words.
The people next to them couldn't help but nod their heads repeatedly. They indeed had the same feeling.
"Yes, so many people went out to explore the way and all died outside. No one came back. We knew there was no way we could get out. We didn't expect that chatting now would give us such an opportunity."
"This is indeed our blessing. Meeting you is truly a blessing we earned in our previous life."
……
Seeing them saying such words one after another, Zhang Qihai, Qi Tiezui and the Baiqiao people next to them naturally shook their heads.
"This has nothing to do with us. It's just your own actions that have brought you to this point."
When everyone heard Zhang Qihai say this, there was some doubt in their eyes.
"What do you mean?"
Then Zhang Qihai began to explain.
"If you had seen us then and had not taken us in or given us food, we would have starved to death outside by now, and we wouldn't have had the chance to meet, let alone get to this point."
After hearing this, everyone nodded in sudden realization.
I have to say, what he said does make sense.
The Baiqiao people also nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, it was the good deeds you did that saved you, not what we did."
They didn't expect that after they had given so much to them, they could still say such words. This really touched their hearts.
No matter what, they knew that they would have to repay them well in the future.
Otherwise, it would be really unfair to them.
"You are right, but we still have to be well. Thank you."
……
These people laughed, ate and chatted.
Not only that, they also began to explain some of the things that had happened to them before.
It is precisely because of this that they have a deeper understanding and knowledge of each other.
Chapter 709 Warmth
Gradually, it was time for them to rest.
After waiting for them to finish their meal, they each chose a place, packed some things, and had a good sleep.
Before they went to bed, Zhang Qihai immediately emphasized one thing to everyone.
"We are not very safe in this place right now, so we have to have people take turns to keep watch at night. Can you agree to this?"
It is impossible for him to force everyone to do something all the time, so he will definitely ask for everyone's opinions now.
After listening to them, everyone nodded and agreed without hesitation. Since Zhang Qihai said this, how could they refuse?
Besides, Zhang Qihai did help them a lot along the way, and they will definitely listen to Zhang Qihai obediently now.
"Of course, but how do we choose?"
After someone asked this question, Zhang Qihai started talking.
"Let two people guard together for one hour, then take turns for another hour, and then let another two people take turns."
Everyone really agrees with this.
And Zhang Qihai also expressed his opinion.
"It's mainly because if only one person benefits, some unexpected situations may happen. If two people are involved, it will be safer. If there is any danger, everyone can be awakened in time."
Everyone nodded immediately after hearing what was said.
They do know the importance of this.
It is easy for all kinds of dangers to occur at night. If there are two people guarding together, it may be better.
If anything happens, everyone will be able to react as quickly as possible and wake everyone up.
Then everyone immediately spoke up and expressed their opinions.
"Of course no problem, then let's start selecting people now."
Then Zhang Qihai immediately began to arrange people.
After a long while, when everyone had been arranged, Zhang Qihai spoke to everyone.
"Alright, alright, remember everyone's order. Qi Tiezui and I will guard first. You guys should go to bed now."
Rest time is indeed very precious to everyone, so they would not refuse it and they immediately went to sleep.
Seeing them falling asleep one by one in a short time, Zhang Qihai couldn't help but sit outside.
Otherwise I might disturb them later.
At this moment, Qi Tiezui naturally followed closely behind Zhang Qihai.
"What's wrong? Why are you out here alone?"
Seeing that Zhang Qihai seemed to be thinking about something, Qi Tiezui couldn't help but ask such a question.
I didn't expect that he would come out with me. As my friend, there is no way he would hide anything.
So at this moment he smiled, raised his head to look at the dense forest, and said something.
"I just think this journey is really unforgettable. We have never experienced anything like this before."
After hearing this, Qi Tiezui naturally nodded without hesitation. It was indeed the same feeling for him.
He had never experienced anything like this before, but after coming here, he did experience all kinds of different things.
Although one thing was indeed very dangerous, no matter what, they had finally reached this point with the efforts of each of them, and nothing major had happened. This was naturally a good thing for them.
But at this moment, he seemed to have thought of something, and there seemed to be some sadness in his eyes.
After a long while, he shook his head helplessly.
Looking at him like this, Zhang Qihai felt a little curious. He didn't know what he was thinking about, so he immediately opened his mouth and asked.
"What's wrong? What did you think of? Why do you suddenly look so uncomfortable?"
After hearing this, Qi Tiezui turned around and began to speak.
"I just want to ask about those people who were hurt while trying to protect us. I don't know how they are doing now, and whether they have found a better world."
After hearing this, Zhang Qihai finally understood why he was inexplicably sad and sentimental. It turned out that it was because of this incident.
I have to say that he felt really upset, as he had not expected those things. If he had anticipated it in advance, he would not have let everyone disperse.
But there is really no point in saying these things now. After all, these things have already happened, and there seems to be nothing to say if you want to change them.
So at this moment he could only helplessly raise his hand, gently pat Qi Tiezui's shoulder, and said something to him.
"It's all right. Everything has passed. I believe they are very happy in the other world. Seeing us so safe now, they must be very relieved because their wish at the beginning was for us to live well in their place, and we did it bravely."
After hearing what was said, Qi Tiezui felt somewhat comforted, otherwise he didn't know how many times he would be sad because of these things.
No matter what, he is a flesh-and-blood person. After encountering such a thing, he must be very unhappy in his heart.
But now things are different. Fortunately, Zhang Qihai is by my side. Otherwise, I might still be in this situation and would not be able to recover in such a short time.
"Thank you for being willing to accompany me."
After hearing Qi Tiezui say this to him, Zhang Qihai raised his hand, waved it gently and spoke.
"Look how reserved you are now. We are all friends. There is no need for you to tell me these things."
