Chapter 217: Night Walking

Ouyang Ke didn't survive in the end. [Ran^Text^Library] []

Just when Luo Qi took Li Yuangang and cleaned up most of the snakes and pythons that were buried in the ground, they were still struggling.

Ouyang was very sudden, and swallowed his last breath.

His death did not surprise Hao Hao, but Hao Hao still used all means to try to give the dying Ouyang Ke and win back the last glimmer of hope.

As a result, everything Hao Hao did was in vain.

Ouyang Ke was still dead, and Luo Qi, who heard the news, led Li Yuangang back to the camp quickly, but he didn't have time to see Ouyang Ke's last side.

All he and Fat Li saw was a corpse that was not too cold.

At dusk that day, Luo Qi, Li Yuangang, Hao Hao, Xu Shi, and Kui Yuan dug a pit for Ouyang's corpse.

Luo Qi cremated Ouyang Ke, but found that there was nothing to hold his ashes except for the lunch box in his hand.

At this time, he didn't dare to enter the ruins to look for it, so he could only find a piece of clean cloth to wrap Ouyang Ke's ashes at Zhang Chunjun's suggestion, and handed it to Li Yuangang for him to keep it properly, and planned to find a strong clay pot for Ouyang Ke's ashes in the future.

The afterglow of the setting sun reflected the sky.

And Luo Qi, standing at the top of the hill, looked at the sky red by the sunset.

Although he had expected it, after seeing Ouyang Ke's corpse with his own eyes, Luo Qi still felt that his heart had been filled with despair at that moment.

Those despairs brought Luo Qi a kind of coldness to the bone, no matter how much light shone on his body, he still couldn't feel any warmth.

He lowered his head slightly, looking down at the ruins that seemed to be bordered with red in the glow of the sun.

"Brother Ro."

Li Yuangang walked to Luo Qi's side with heavy steps.

He frowned slightly at the ruins that were red by the glow, and said, "Brother, what's in there?" ”

When Luo Qi heard this, he was silent.

He didn't want to scare Li Yuangang, so he deliberately said in a contemptuous tone: "I was inside, and I encountered a lot of snakes, very many, so I delayed for some time." ”

"However, those snakes are very weak, that is, they are numerous, and there is nothing to worry about."

Hearing this, Li Yuangang pursed his mouth slightly.

He obviously didn't believe it, but he also understood Luo Qi's hard work, so he also said in a calm tone: "Brother, I have already collected Master Ou's ashes." ”

"Are we going to take a detour down here?"

Hearing this, Luo Qi nodded and said, "I'll leave tonight." ”

"This place is really too dangerous."

Hearing this, Li Yuangang nodded, hesitated for a while, and then said, "Brother, we all listen to you." ”

"The headmaster has already led everyone and started to pack their bags."

Hearing this, Luo Qi was silent for a moment, and suddenly sighed.

He didn't say anything more, and quietly looked at the ruins that were illuminated by the red glow, his face looking extremely focused and solemn.

Li Yuangang turned his head and looked at the solemn look on Luo Qi's face.

He was silent with Luo Qi, and after a short silence, he turned and walked back to the camp to give his comrades a hand on their packing up.

Only Luo Qi, who stayed behind, stood quietly at the top of the hill slope, and continued to stare at the ruins that seemed particularly quiet in the glow.

When the thirteen people worked together, dismantled the two tents, and packed up all the salutes, Li Yuangang began to boil everyone's dinner.

For dinner, it was still stewed bacon.

Probably in order to replenish enough heat energy for the people who were about to march at night, this time Li Yuangang cooked a lot of bacon in the broth.

The fourteen people who were missing Ouyang Ke ate the broth in the stew pot were shared.

Then, Luo Qi used his shoulders to resist the water bag and most of the luggage, and wrapped a hemp rope around the waist of the thirteen people as usual, and then took the end of the hemp rope and led the thirteen people out of the hill.

By this time, it was completely dark.

Traveling at night is indeed very difficult in these last days.

Without the street lights and neon lights brought by modern technology, the light emitted by the stars and moon hovering in the night dome seemed too dim to illuminate the way forward.

The road was littered with cracks and pits, as well as sand and debris.

The terrain is also very rugged, and in some places, unusually steep.

This also makes Luo Qi and his companions encounter danger with every step they take in the night, and every meter they advance may be an abyss.

At this time, the rope that wrapped around the waist of Li Fatzi and others became the bond that maintained everyone, and it became very important.

Luo Qi tied the top of the hemp rope tightly to his wrist, and drove the double-headed flame horse to slow down as much as possible.

The speed of the fourteen people is also very slow.

Two hours had passed, but the group had only moved more than 60 meters before they were in danger.

Li Fatzi fell down several times, Xu Ruoyu almost fell down the hill, Zhang Chunjun stepped into a sand pit and was almost buried alive, and even Chen Qian, who was usually the smartest, almost followed in the footsteps of Zhang Chunjun.

Therefore, Luo Qi also had to stop.

He could only admit that the plan to travel at night was indeed unrealistic and too dangerous.

"I'm on it."

Luo Qi cursed in a low voice, then withdrew the two-headed flame horse and the flame gathering red armor, and then put the water bag and luggage on his shoulders on the ground.

He turned to face the people behind him, and said in a calm tone, "Let's camp here." ”

"It's too dangerous to force your way."

Hearing this, the thirteen people who followed him all stopped.

These thirteen people all breathed a sigh of relief.

The pain of trekking through the dark night was really painful for them, and it was really good to be able to stop at this time.

However, it was obviously a little late to set up the tent again.

Fourteen people built a bonfire, sat around it, and began to rest.

This low-lying ravine, surrounded by towering hills, has become a natural wall for sanitation people.

But everyone did not dare to relax their vigilance, and together they increased the number of night patrols from the original two to three.

Around the campfire, the people spread the canvases on the ground and put some thick cloths, and except for the night watchman and Luo Qi, who was accustomed to meditating alone, the rest of the people rested on these canvases.

The night is getting deeper.

It's quiet, and all the rats have disappeared in one night since the snakes came to the area.

At this time, only cockroaches and other insects are still crawling on the surrounding hills.

And after experiencing everything last night and witnessing Ouyang Ke's passing, all the people sitting around the bonfire at this time no longer have sleepiness.
