No matter what lies ahead, no matter how tempting it may be. [Ran^Text^Library] []

In short, I have made my choice.

Luo Qichang exhaled and put his hands behind his back.

It was still early, and everyone was not sleepy, so Ouyang Ke took Li Yuangang, Xu Shi, Hao Hao, and Yu Tong to open a canvas tent that had been closed for several hours.

The tent was originally a place for everyone to smoke meat, and it was filled with black smoke for smoking at first, but when Ouyang Ke lifted the curtain of the tent, the smoke inside was already very thin.

The rat meat that had been cut up and hung in the tent had also been smoked.

Unlike the bacon before the disaster, which was made with fine ingredients and elaborate steps, the surface of the meat pieces after being smoked by everyone at this time showed a charred black color.

Ouyang Ke just started to see the color of these pieces of meat, his face immediately became ugly, he took a piece of meat and tasted it, fortunately, except for the charred part that was a little bitter, the taste inside was still okay.

When Ouyang Ke, Li Yuangang, Xu Shi, Hao Hao, and Yu Tong put away all the bacon in the tent, Ouyang Ke used a kitchen knife to slowly scrape the blackened surface of the bacon.

Ouyang Ke is worthy of being a person who has opened a restaurant, not only his cooking skills are exquisite, but his knife skills are also very good, Li Yuangang's eyes lit up when he watched from the side, and several times, Li Fatzi wanted to lift the kitchen knife and go to give Ouyang Ke a hand, but he was politely rejected by Yang Ke.

Food is very expensive, Ouyang Ke is reluctant to take bacon to practice knife work for Li Fatzi, and Li Fatzi can only watch from the sidelines.

Yu Tong, who had only one hand, sat back by the bonfire with nothing to do at this time, his legs and feet were still a little inconvenient, and Kui Yuan, who had been staying by the bonfire, immediately stepped forward to chat with him.

And at this time, the people who suddenly got busy were Xu Shi and Hao Hao, two good men, taking advantage of the fact that the water stored at this time was still abundant, and the clothes carried by everyone needed to be cleaned, the canvas that was blackened by black smoke needed to be replaced, and the replaced canvas also needed to be cleaned, and there were some cold bedding, which had some smell at this time, and if you didn't wash it, maybe fleas would be born.

There was no erotic detergent or bleach, no proper tools, not even a washbasin, and the two big men could only rely on their hands, squatting in front of an iron pot the size of a washbasin, constantly rubbing the dirty objects piled up in the iron pot.

And He Shiyun, Chen Qian, Xu Ruoyu and Du Li, the four girls, were very leisurely at this time, all sitting lazily by the bonfire, enjoying a peaceful time with great interest.

The two brothers, Xu Deyang and Xu Mengtang, went to collect dead branches and patrolled around by the way.

And the only one who took advantage of the rainless weather to walk around was Zhang Chunjun.

But Zhang Chunjun, who walks around, is not to enjoy the time.

At this time, the old man was in a state of worry at any time.

He knows that his body is getting better and better, but he doesn't know how long he can live, so he wants to do his best to shine while he is alive.

The old man found Zhou Deyong first, Zhou Deyong wanted to welcome the old man into the tent very respectfully, but the old man told Zhou Deyong the news that Luo Qi was willing to cut wood outside the tent, Zhou Deyong was immediately ecstatic, and when he was about to thank the old man gratefully, Zhang Chunjun, who was full of melancholy, had already turned around and left.

The old man ran into many tents in a row, asking about the living conditions of everyone in the tent, and everyone in the tent was very respectful to him.

Luo Qi kept looking at the night sky, and when the night was deep enough, he lowered his head slightly.

What the companions he recognized were doing at this time, and what they had done before, although he didn't use his eyes to see, he still knew very well.

He cared about these people, but he didn't show any expression on his face.

He knew that at this time, he didn't have to do anything, he shouldn't do anything, everything, everyone did a good job, if he interfered indiscriminately, it would only hit everyone's enthusiasm.

In order to survive in the last days, everyone should have their own ideas and find their own place, and Luo Qi's position is to increase everyone's courage to live, so that they can maintain their confidence and motivation to face these difficult years.

That's all.

Luo Qi understands all this very well.

As the night wore on, Luo Qi felt a little tired and sleepy, so she turned around and walked back to the campfire.

He Shiyun and Xu Ruoyu both took the initiative to say hello to Luo Qi, Chen Qian turned her head with disdain, but the rest of her eyes stayed on Luo Qi's body, even Du Li glanced at Luo Qi expressionlessly and turned around, continuing to look at the burning bonfire.

Du Li's face at this time no longer had the numbness and indifference she had before, but she still didn't show any obvious emotions, as if she didn't care about anything.

In addition to the four daughters, Kui Yuan and Yu Tong stood up one after another, with some intention of bowing their heads and obeying orders.

Luo Qi raised his hand and motioned for the two to sit down, and after casually agreeing twice, they sat silently by the bonfire, except for Du Li, who had been staring at the fire, the other three girls chatted with each other again, and Kui Yuan and Yu Tong, like Luo Qi, remained silent.

Ouyang Ke, who finished serving the rat meat, took Li Yuangang with him and went to help Hao Hao and Xu Shizhi wash their items.

With the addition of Ouyang Ke and Li Yuangang, the speed of the four of them washing items has obviously accelerated a lot.

But by the time the four of them had washed all the dirty clothes, the quilt and the canvas, and hung them all up, it was already midnight.

Zhang Chunjun was also at this time, carrying the dust all over his body, and rushed back.

The old man came back in a hurry, sat down by the campfire, and immediately gasped.

The old man gasped and turned his head to look at Luo Qi, with a look on his face that wanted to speak and stopped.

Luo Qi turned his head to meet the old man's gaze and looked at the old man who couldn't help but gasp, with a somewhat indifferent expression.

He knew very well what Zhang Chunjun had seen before, and he also deduced what the old man wanted to say at this time, and naturally he knew that he would give the old man an answer, and it was impossible to satisfy the old man.

Therefore, without waiting for Zhang Chunjun to speak, he took the lead in staring at the slightly cloudy eyes on Zhang Chunjun's extraordinarily old face, and shook his head very lightly and directly.

Looking at Luo Qi's movements, Zhang Chunjun's body shook slightly, and he, who had gradually stopped breathing, could only forcibly swallow back the words that had come to his mouth.

"Alright."

Seeing Zhang Chunjun close his mouth gloomily, Luo Qi felt a trace of unbearability in his heart, but he still turned his head with a hard heart and glanced at the rest of the people sitting around the bonfire.

"The vigil is still the same as last night."

"I'll guard it first, if you want to rest, go and rest."
