The two stunned men clasped their hands together and held a thin wooden stick, and prostrate themselves on the riverbank, earnestly rubbing the bonfire against the leaves and dead branches that had been piled up, and when a wisp of green smoke rose from it, a cheer rang out all around.

The second stunned man who succeeded in lighting the fire smirked for a while, and then lit a few other bonfires not far away, and a few teenagers not far away had already carried the live fish caught in the river, put them on the pebbles of the river beach and smashed them into the stun and began to deal with them.

Zhang stayed up all night sitting in front of the campfire, feeling the burning fire in front of him very seriously, he enjoyed the warm temperature, enjoyed the popping sound that burst from time to time due to burning, he suddenly felt extremely ironic, the last time he saw the fire, it was the day when his family was ruined, and it was also the beginning of his nightmare in the next few years, and it was not until this moment that he felt that the nightmare was over.

Although he still had many concerns in his mind, at least for now, he didn't want to think about it.

In the distance, a girl surnamed Sun and several other girls came back from the depths of the woods with a few younger ingots, holding some wild fruits of different shapes in their arms, and a young man from a hunter family had taught them to carve marks on the trees to avoid getting lost in this dense forest.

Soon at dusk, twenty or so men sat around several cheerful campfires celebrating the aftermath of the catastrophe with grilled fish and wild fruits. Zhang stayed up late is also the first time to see many people with smiles on their faces, these ingots of different ages and births finally started chatting like ordinary children in the night, under the auspices of a few extroverts, everyone introduced themselves, so that everyone could know each other, before that, many people Zhang stayed up late and didn't even know their names.

The dozen or so fish caught from the river with thorns were not enough to eat, and the second stunned man took a few volunteers to run into the stream to start the second round of foraging.

The reason why Zhang stayed up late as the leader of this group of ingots, he shared an extra fish, he didn't like to eat fish since he was a child, but this time he almost burst into tears when he ate it, and he bit down into the crispy roasted fish, and his already numb mouth once again felt the heat of the hot mouth and the old memory of the delicious meat.

Not something he would ever want to recall again. He raised his head and looked at the pair of hopeful eyes that had not yet had time to eat the grilled fish, so he used his hand to divide the grilled fish in his hand briefly.

A moment later, the boys and girls who hadn't eaten hot food in years were in tears. They laughed as they ate, and they couldn't hold back their tears.

Looking at this somewhat funny scene, Zhang stayed up all night but couldn't laugh at all, he was silent for a long time, and then said softly: "It's over, it's all over, everyone eats and drinks enough, and then sleeps well, no need to be cold, no hunger, no need to be afraid." Sleep and get up tomorrow we will continue walking, out of this forest, on the main road, and then meet pedestrians and ask for the location and direction, go to the town or the city to ask the government for help, there will be a way out. ”

A good night passed.

At noon the next day, the twenty-two ingots who survived from the pit finally ushered in the first tomorrow that they no longer had to worry about.

It has to be said that this group of young people who survived in that extremely cruel environment has perseverance and physique that ordinary people can hardly match, and it only took a few days for a group of people to cross this boundless forest all the way. After this group of savages-like children walked to a wide post road and finally met pedestrians, after scaring away a few carriages and a few teams of passers-by, Zhang stayed up late and finally met a team of darts passing by the master, the leading dart master is a warm-hearted man, claiming to be surnamed Xu, listening to Zhang stay up late briefly about their experience, without saying a word, first instructed his subordinates to take out some shabby but clean clothes from the carriage for this group of hard-working children to change first, and then personally escorted them to Pingyang County, Pingyang County, which is the closest to this place.

Zhang stayed up all night sitting in the carriage headed by Xu Darttou and chatting all the way, only to learn that this place is in the territory of Beihai Youquan Country, which is one of the small tributary countries of Beihai Country, about 500 miles away from Beihai Country, as for the wasteland they crossed all the way is the ancient battlefield that was left behind about 2,100 years of Chaoge, it is said that hundreds of thousands of troops of Youquan Country were buried, but now it is 2,745 years old that Chaoge called the emperor, which is considered an ancient thing more than 600 years ago. If you want to talk about this bizarre encounter in the young man's mouth, even if Xu Darttou is well-informed and knows all kinds of mysterious things about the monks in this world, but he only believes half of it, you say that he was captured by an evil cultivator who hides in the barren mountains and mountains, then he believes it, the ancients who have died for hundreds of years are not rotten, what is the reason?

After a few days of carriage and horses, when he arrived in Pingyang County, Pingyang County, Xu Darttou was a man who did what he said, and directly took this group of children to the Yamen of Zhixian County. The people of Beihai are fierce, there are many people who are enthusiastic about the ancient road, and the number of incidents between the monks and mortals who are called mountain people in this world is too many to count, and the government is not much surprised.

Among the 20 or so children, half of the family members are still alive, but it is easy to do, but the government issues a customs clearance document and goes home with the imperial court's post station, and it doesn't cost much money and effort.

The difficulty is that among the remaining half of the people, either their families are ruined or they are too young to say in detail.

Seeing that this group of children was taking the lead was this young man named Zhang Staying Up Late, a white-haired master with the temperament of a scholar called him over, and said to Zhang Staying Up Late with good words: "You are the leader in your group of children? The old man asks you, what are you plans to do if you are homeless? Although our Pingyang County is still a rich and peaceful place to live in Youquan Country, if you are willing to stay here, the yamen will give a few of you a naturalization, and then take this document to find a master in this county to learn a craft, or do a long-term job to support yourself, which is also considered a peaceful life. Otherwise, you will receive two copper coins, although it is not much, but it is enough for you to live for a few days, then the obligations of the government are here, and we don't care about what happens next, understand? ”

Zhang stayed up all night and nodded, "Understood." ”

He looked at the children in the distance, turned around and said, "We are all homeless, I will tell them how to choose, let them decide for themselves, and then I will tell you, as for myself, I will give the two copper coins to the one who is called Ertun." ”

The master looked stunned, "And the parents gave their children this name?" ”

Zhang stayed up all night and was stunned, yes, the second stunned was the nickname they called him, what is his real name? It seems to be surnamed Tang?

What about the two stunned people? He searched the crowd for a moment, and saw that the second stunned man was talking to the girl surnamed Sun and the boy with the severed finger.

In the lobby of the Yanai, these twenty or so companions who have gone through the journey from hell to earth together are about to face separation, and it is likely that they will see each other for the last time in their lives. Zhang stayed up all night silently watching the companions who fled from the pit together, crossed the ancient battlefield with the howling wind, walked through the jungle together, and returned all the way back to the human world, each of them was the same as him, eating solid meat full of death and evil energy, he looked at one of the teenagers who couldn't help but cry because of the parting, he remembered that before the ban on the pit leading to the ground, he suddenly saw the wisp of dim black gas in the center of his eyebrows for a moment.

Is that the karma and military aura that has long been immersed in their bodies? The boy didn't know, but he knew that all these surviving companions, like him, probably didn't have a few years to live.

But even so, Zhang stayed up late and didn't want to tell them.

For it was something he could not do himself, and there was nothing cruel than to sentence a man to death while he was expecting a new life.

He looked at the people who hugged each other and said goodbye to each other. I suddenly remembered that in that wasteland, the girl who killed herself for everyone to live.

What's her name? Zhang stayed up late and didn't know. In a few more years, many, many people died in the pit.

He'll never know.

The boy bowed his head and said to himself, "I will live for you." ”
