In this way, the four of Su Ke walked for almost five kilometers, which made everyone a little unbearable.

An Jie'er is a girl, and the death of her father made her mentally exhausted, and then she was nervous and rushed so far, which made her physically and mentally exhausted.

The mayor himself is an old man in his sixties, and his physical strength is obviously unable to keep up, and the long journey makes his speed slower and slower.

Su Ke had originally experienced a fight in the town, and when he led everyone to break through, he used a powerful Red Lotus Blasting Formation, and then after rushing so far, Xiao Yueyue's leg was injured, and he was holding it almost all the time, and now it was almost evening, hunger and fatigue surged all over his body at the same time.

Suke walked to a lawn and stopped, looked around for a moment, and then said to everyone, "Let's camp here today, you wait here, I'll check the surroundings, and get some food by the way."

"Well, be careful, then. Seeing Su Ke turn around and walk towards the woods, Angel admonished.

The mayor supported the ground with his hands, sat down slowly, and let out a long sigh of relief, "People are old, and they are useless!"

An Jie'er helped Xiao Yueyue check the injury, pinched it with her hand, and asked Xiao Yueyue if it hurt, and then said softly: "Xiao Yueyue is good! It's just some abrasions, it's not a big problem, it will be fine in a few days." ”

Xiao Yueyue is indeed very well-behaved, she nodded lightly, and then said in a childish voice: "Well, thank you, sister." ”

An Jie'er smiled and hugged Xiao Yueyue in her arms, but her nose was a little sour. They all lost their homes on the same day, witnessed their loved ones die in front of them on the same day, and perhaps it is because their grief is so similar that they can snuggle up to each other in this way.

Half an hour later, Su Ke walked back from the forest, An Jie'er and the mayor hurriedly got up to greet her, and Xiao Yueyue also looked over.

Suke had three squirrels and two pheasants in his hands, which was already redundant for four people, and he could leave two squirrels to eat tomorrow morning. "I've looked around, there's no danger around, it's okay to camp here today. ”

An Jie'er nodded, "Okay, then I'll go pick up some dry firewood and make a fire." ”

After more than half an hour, the night began to fall, and a bonfire was lit on the grass, around which four people were grilling game. The gravy dripped in the fire, making a ziz sound, accompanied by the rich smell of meat, which made everyone feel even more hungry.

Sooke seems to have a knack for barbecue, and he grills two fat pheasants to a shiny and fragrant aroma that will whet your appetite at a glance.

Angel didn't seem to have much experience with barbecue, and she grilled a squirrel to a little charred and a little burnt smell.

"The meat should not be too close to the flame, otherwise it will be burnt, and it should be placed more than ten centimeters away from the flame, flipped and roasted slowly. Suke instructed Angel.

Soon, the fragrant roasted game was ready, and Su Ke tore off a fat chicken leg and handed it to Xiao Yueyue.

"Thank you, big brother. Xiao Yueyue is very sensible, and she didn't forget to thank her after taking the chicken leg.

The cold light of the moon sprinkled down the ground like a layer of silver-white tulle, and the lit bonfire added a touch of warmth to the cold forest at night. Xiao Yueyue had eaten her full stomach and was already asleep, and An Jie'er stayed by her side, like a gentle mother, holding her in her arms.

Xiao Yueyue was talking in her sleep in her sleep, she was calling her mother softly, smiling, as if she had dreamed of something very happy.

"Xiao Yueyue is good, mom is here!" An Jie'er showed a woman's unique maternal feelings, she stroked Xiao Yueyue's little face, and her eyes reflecting the firelight were full of tenderness.

"I'll keep vigil, rest all of you, and get on your way early tomorrow." Suke threw a piece of wood into the fire, splashing a wisp of sparks.

"I'll keep vigil, you've had the hardest work all the way, you need a good rest, don't worry! I'll wake you up right away when you encounter a situation." "The mayor of the town is old, and although he hasn't helped much along the way, he is still very responsible.

"Alright then, I'll keep watch in the middle of the night. With that, Suke lay down and went to sleep.

An Jie'er hugged Xiao Yueyue and soon fell asleep.

Sleepy-eyed, the first half of the night passed quickly, and Suke woke up on time.

"Go back to sleep! I'll be fine by myself. Seeing Suke sit up, Mayor Mare said as he added wood to the fire.

"You have to go tomorrow! how can you do an old man without rest?" Su Ke stood up, rubbed his eyes, and moved his hands and feet.

The mayor seemed to be in a bad mood, and sighed and said, "Alas, it's all because of me, I'm old, and I can't help much, that's the only thing I can do." ”

Seeing that the mayor of the town began to be sad again, blaming himself and feeling annoyed, Su Ke hurriedly comforted: "It's not your fault, it's all because of those crazy monsters, although most of the monsters are fierce and bloodthirsty by nature, and attacks on villages in groups of three or five have also happened from time to time, but such a large-scale rampage has never happened before, and it is impossible for anyone to know in advance that there will be such serious consequences." It's useless to be upset about what happened, and it's more important to be responsible for the future than to remember the past, isn't it?"

The mayor felt that what Su Ke said was very reasonable, and although he was still in a bad mood, he finally agreed to go and rest.

An Jie'er and Xiao Yueyue snuggled up to each other and slept soundly, Su Ke was afraid that they would catch a cold, so he took off his fur coat and covered them.

When the firewood was almost finished, Suke found some dry firewood nearby and piled it up next to the campfire, throwing a few into it when it was almost finished.

The vigil was boring, and the flickering light of the fire came into view, making people feel sleepy.

Su Ke began to dance the sword, because he was afraid of waking up the people who were still asleep, so he didn't exert much strength, and the speed was not very fast, but the steady footwork and the flickering cold light of the sword blade all spoke of his strength and bravery.

On the eve of dawn, the world is ruled by a brief period of darkness, and the cold air is refreshing.

Angel woke up from her sleep, and she was still a little sleepy-eyed to see Suke preparing breakfast, and the two squirrels were also roasted to a shiny and fragrant smell.

"Did you sleep well last night?" Suke greeted Angel, who had just woken up, with a smile on his face.

"Well, that's good. Angel smiled as well, and gently walked over to Suke and sat down.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" An Jie'er was a little shy, not knowing what to say, so she had to help with some other things.

"Then you keep watch here, I'll go fetch some water, and call me out if there's any situation. When Suke had finished his order, he got up and walked towards the woods.

"Then you go and come back quickly. Angel stretched out her right hand and tried to grab Su Ke's sleeve, but in the end she held back, only showing a bitter smile slightly, and Su Ke didn't notice it.

For An Jie'er, the life-and-death encounter on the mountain, the rescue in the town and the careful protection along the way made her really like Su Ke, but Su Ke didn't seem to care about this, which made her unable to guess his thoughts.

More than ten minutes later, Su Ke came back from fetching water, and at this time, the mayor also woke up from his sleep, An Jie'er woke up Xiao Yueyue, and after the four of them had eaten and drunk enough, they also began to hurry.

The soft light of the morning sun sprinkled on the face seemed to dispel the haze of yesterday and made people feel warm.

Along the way, Xiao Yueyue sang nursery rhymes and songs that her mother once taught her in her unique little girl voice, she was using this method to remember her deceased relatives, and her singing also infected everyone around her, relieving the pain in her heart.

At the end of the day, none of the four of them had any worries about food, thanks to Su Ke, an expert hunter, the pheasants and hares in the forest, and the fat fish in the stream.

Towards the end of the afternoon, the four of them were on their way when they met a family of three, a middle-aged man dressed in patched cloth, who was holding a thin donkey in his left hand and a leather whip in his right hand, and from time to time he whipped the donkey with the whip so that it could go faster.

The donkey dragged a wooden cart with wheels and body made of wood, which looked old and old, crunching on the bumpy road.

There is a little luggage on the cart, wrapped in a cloth sheet, I can't see what is inside, there is a middle-aged woman and a teenage boy sitting on it, their clothes are also full of patches, it looks very shabby, the little boy leans on the arms of the middle-aged woman, probably because of the fatigue of the journey, is sleeping, the middle-aged woman stares into the distance, the corners of her eyes show a touch of gloom, when she looks back at the little boy in her arms, her eyes are full of happiness and relief.

"Uncle, where are you going?" said Suke to inquire about the situation, telling them that it was dangerous and that they needed to be extra careful along the way.

What is surprising is that this middle-aged man looked very nervous, not afraid of Su Ke and his party, but at a loss, "I" didn't say a reason for a long time.

The middle-aged woman sitting in the back was a little uneasy at first, but after seeing that Su Ke and his party were both young and old, they didn't look like bad people, and then they were relieved, "Ah, don't be surprised, he's like this, he is honest, and he will be nervous when someone talks to him." ”

"No, no, we're just here to inquire about the situation, and it's very dangerous here, it's very likely that there will be monsters hiding near here, we can walk together if we stop by, and we can take care of each other along the way." Suke waved his hand and smiled.

"Well, that's great, thank you!" the middle-aged woman smiled and nodded in gratitude.

An Jie'er hugged Xiao Yueyue, her arm was a little sore, and the middle-aged woman warmly invited Xiao Yueyue to sit on the wooden cart.

In this way, the group of four people became seven, and they chatted about their respective situations along the way, and Su Ke and the others also learned about the sad experience of this family.

The middle-aged uncle's name is "Yuka", he is an honest man, and his wife's name is "Darcy" , Soon after getting married, there was a son, which should have been a very happy family of three, but because of the husband's honesty, he has been bullied in the village, at first he was just someone throwing pebbles at them, and then it slowly intensified, openly abusing and beating in front of everyone, fists and feet, and finally evolved into a robbery, just yesterday, even their own house was set on fire, and a family of three could only drag the only little clothes and dry food to leave their hometown, and not long after they left, the village was attacked by monsters, but they escaped because they left the village in advance, and came all the way here。
