Chapter 6 It's getting dark(1/2)

(Please recommend, please bookmark)

No matter how dramatic the process was, at least Li Qi was able to settle here temporarily, which was equivalent to giving him a chance to survive.

In addition, in this era, everything here makes Li Qi full of curiosity. He is now eager to know more information.

And Rong is undoubtedly a good target for clichés.

Although Rong's speech is a bit dull, if you ask him, he will say something. If you don't ask, he will not say anything more. But he is more honest, and he is not as full of ideas as the boy in front of him.

Han Yi learned some information about Black Stone Valley from his mouth.

The old woman was named Po Yi, the leader of the Black Stone Valley, and the young man was named Nong, the grandson of Po Yi. His mother had died a few years ago. As for his father, Rong's answer was that he didn't know. In terms of title, there was only one honorific title, which was Mu, which was specially used to call his mother, and even his grandmother did not have a respectful title.

And Taba is actually the legendary witch, who is specifically responsible for dealing with God, but there is no such thing as witch at present. Rong describes Taba as the smartest person in Black Stone Valley.

Li Qi also learned from Rong that some basic systems in Black Stone Valley were truly an absolute democratic system. All major events must be decided by all adults’ votes. Men also have the right to vote and can also use voting to remove the leader. However, Taba has a veto power because Taba has the background of God. At this time, human beings are still in the stage of ignorance. This day cannot be disobeyed. As for small matters, they can be decided by Po Yi and a few older women. Everyone’s division of labor is decided by Po Yi and the others.

In addition, it is the communist system, collective production and equal distribution. However, it does not mean that the set of equipment that Li Qi wears must be taken out, but it is produced collectively and owned collectively. However, if the animal skin is distributed to you, it is private, not collective. It is only after you die that it belongs to the collective and cannot be passed on to future generations. Li Qi's clothes do not come from collective production.

But this is not to say that their system is very advanced, but because their productivity is very backward.

"Rong!Rong!"

The two were chatting when they suddenly heard a scream.

Li Qixun looked at him and saw a woman pointing to the sky.

Before Li Qi could look up, Rong said anxiously: "It's slow!"

"What's slow?"

Li Qi didn't react at all.

But as soon as he spoke, Rong jumped down. When he landed on the ground, it was like a huge rock falling. Li Qi felt a little shocked, and he couldn't help but feel sympathy for the land of this era.

"It's getting dark, we have to make a fire." Rong suddenly remembered that he was not the only one who could make a fire in Black Stone Valley, so he turned around and said to Li Qi, looking a little anxious.

"Make a fire?"

Li Qi was stunned for a moment and thought, was he going to have supper? This was my first day at work, so I had to show it. He hurriedly said, "Wait for me."

As he said that, he also wanted to leap down, but when he saw this height, he clearly couldn't get along with him!

Rong didn't react. He took two steps and suddenly looked around and found that there was no one beside him. "Li Qi?" When he looked back, he saw Li Qi sticking to the stone wall like a gecko, slowly squirming. He was puzzled and walked over, staring at Li Qi blankly and said, "What are you doing?"

Li Qi looked down and said, "I...I think I'm falling."

Rong said: "Why don't you jump down?"

He is not a person who likes to talk too much, but he really doesn't understand why Li Qi is like this, because they are all straight up and down.

Li Qi had the urge to squirt blood, and I wanted to be as casual as you, but the problem is that if I jump like this, I would break my bones if I didn’t do it well. But he couldn’t say that he was weaker than a weak chicken, so he could only explain: “That’s right, I was chased by wild beasts all day, but I didn’t eat anything, and my body was weak.”

While speaking, Li Qi jumped down, breathing a light sigh, his face still looked a little embarrassed.

Rong didn't ask too much and urged: "Go away! Go away!"

Just cooking dinner, there is no need to hurry like this! Li Qi was anxious when he saw Rong, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, but he didn't have time to ask more because he had to trot to keep up with Rong's footsteps.

When I arrived at the east side of the stone mountain, I saw a protruding stone wall here, which was very long, like an eaves, which was really amazing. The stone wall was filled with firewood, either with a hobby or with some branches he picked up, tied with rattan. I saw two or three young men carrying firewood towards the door of the stone cave.

Wow! Can I carry this? Li Qi couldn't help but feel a little depressed when he saw that the bundle of firewood might not be able to hold it with both hands. He asked in a low voice: "We two little experts in making fire, are we going to do this?"

Rong seemed very anxious and didn't hear it. He grabbed a bundle of firewood and threw it back, "So."

Bang!

"Ouch!"

A scream was heard!

Rong looked back and found that Li Qi was gone. When he looked down, he saw that Li Qi was pressed by a bundle of firewood, his legs were slightly bounced, so he walked over, squatted down, looked at Li Qi, and said curiously: "What are you doing?"

"Brother! I say I'm very weak now. If you still throw it like this, can I catch it?"

Li Qi was about to cry. He threw such a large bundle of firewood over, no matter how you asked him to pick it up, and it was also fast. He didn't even hide, and was overwhelmed.

After a while, Rong was carrying a bundle of firewood and carrying a large bundle of firewood in the other hand, running in front of him. Li Qi, behind him, covered his chest and staggered, looking at Rong in front of him with resentment, thinking, if I want to live longer, I have to consider their strength and speed in the future!

Rong Wuwei was worried about Li Qi's complaints, so he hurried to the cave, pulled the rattan directly, and threw the firewood into a large round pit in front of the cave.

"Wait."

Li Qi, who rushed over from behind, said with a puzzled look on his face: "There is no need for such a big fire pit, is it? How much meat do you have to roast? And the heat problem..."

"The night is coming soon, and a fire must be set up immediately." Rong interrupted his words, and his voice was filled with a hint of nervousness.

"I don't want to barbecue! Then I'll feel relieved."

Li Qi nodded and suddenly found that the violent little kids in front were now all shrank at the entrance of the cave, trembling, thinking, it was just dark, what are you doing, and you are so awesome, I am not afraid of this. I looked up at the sky again and found that it was still very bright, no difference from before, but I didn’t find the sun and could not tell if it was sunset. So I asked carefully: “I…even if it’s dark, it’s not a matter of a moment. Now it’s still so bright, we still have enough time to make a fire. There is no need to make it so nervous.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt that the distance suddenly became dark. He looked up and saw a darkness slowly moving in the distance.

"I'll go! What the hell is this?"

Li Qi was stunned for a while, and when he looked up, it was already dark. Although it was not completely dark, it seemed that the sky had really darkened in an instant.

This kind of computer-scanning darkness made him stunned. Until a fire light came, he woke up and looked down. He saw that there was a fire light coming out of the fire pit, and the spark was burning in the prairie fire.

Why? Why are the darkness in the primitive era so strange? Li Qi became more and more confused. If the primitive man's power and speed were stronger than him, he could still try to understand it, but darkness was much faster than later generations, so he couldn't understand it. He was trying hard to search for some natural aspects of the primitive era in his mind, but... it was blank.

After a while, a big fire finally lit up in the fire pit, and the sky was completely dark.

The women brought the child back into the cave, and Liqi was also called in by Taba, because when it was time to distribute the dinner, only four young men were left outside to take care of the fire pit.

It also created a fire in the cave, which was far less than the big ones outside, but was enough to illuminate the cave.

Everyone sat around the fire. They seemed to really like the light and were also very afraid of the night. The little kids looked at the fire, and their eyes were full of joy.

Several women traveled through the crowd and distributed food to everyone.

Li Qi also got his dinner, wrapped in a leaf, with three green fruits, a big pink fruit, and several things similar to rhizomes.

This surprised Li Qi. He thought he must have eaten meat tonight. After all, they had just eaten internal organs and were still thinking about how to make dinner, but he didn't ask too much because the people here were still a little wary of him.

Soon, chewing sounds sounded in the hole.

Li Qi glanced at it and saw that everyone was eating very happily. He looked down at the food in his hands. Although the color looked very bright, none of them knew him. He couldn't help but wonder if this thing had been washed? Do they wash their hands? Will I have diarrhea after eating it? If I have diarrhea...yes! There should be no toilet here. I don't know how they go to the toilet, and it's so dark outside...

After thinking about it, he decided not to eat it first, quietly wrapped the food and covered it in his arms.

The others quickly wiped out their dinner.

"Taba, tell stories, tell stories."

Suddenly, a child shouted.

“Tell a story.”

“Tell a story.”

The other children immediately started shouting, and everyone looked very excited.

This time Li Qi could understand their excitement. After all, they were still young and could not have children. Telling stories was probably their only entertainment activity at night, and he also wanted to learn some information about this era from the story.

Under the excited shout of the child, the old man Taba stood up and came to the stone wall with the mural. Not to mention, the fire shone on his face, exuding an inexplicable temperament of a wise man.

"Okay, okay! I'll tell you a story."

Taba said that again, "Haha" laughter, and he scratched his long fluffy and withered hair, and said, "I will tell you a story about the night tonight." He knocked on his forehead with a dead wooden stick. After a moment, he wiped a layer of charcoal ash with his fingers from the ground, and said, "A long time ago, I was still as young as you. At that time... Haha... Rong was not born yet, we can only rely on God to give us fire, remember there was a night..."

When it comes to night, the little kid's eyes immediately reveal a look of horror.

He heard the old man Taba continue, "We did not keep the fire, so we could only block the entrance of the cave with big stones to prevent the beast from attacking us. And while we were asleep, a 'shouting' sound suddenly sounded outside the cave. The adults told us that this was the six-legged beast seducing the child and told us not to go out, but there was a child named Jue, who was very curious because he had never seen the six-legged beast, so he secretly crawled out of the cracks of the rock."

He said, drawing on the stone wall.

Oh... It turns out that this is how the mural came about. Li Qi looked at his paintings carefully. It was so simple. The only thing that could be seen was that the thing had six feet, and a pair of front legs were raised like hands. I thought, what kind of beast is this? Alas... I really regret that I didn't learn more about primitive society.

"He...what is he?"

A little fat child said with a tense face.

Li Qi also looked at Taba curiously. Is this story? There should be a turning point here, otherwise, how could the water survive this long night?

"Eated by a six-legged beast!"

Taba suddenly said.

The little kids were so scared that a few were still huddled in their mother's arms.

"Okay! Okay! The story is over!" Taba laughed again.

What's the end? Li Qi was stunned immediately. The ending was really... so unexpected to him. It was so full of practical things.

I heard some women tell their children, "You can't go out in the dark, be careful of being eaten by a six-legged beast."

Is this telling a story or brainwashing education? Li Qi felt that the taste had changed, and the only information he got from this story was the six-legged beast, but who knew if this was made up by Taba to scare the child? Of course, it might be a primitive animal that he didn't know at all. He saw that the women were already comforting their children to sleep, but the naughty little kid didn't listen at all, jumping up and down in the hole, making him feel a little headache.

So Li Qi quietly left the crowd and went outside the cave.

The four young men gathered next to the fire outside the cave should be responsible for the night watch. When Li Qi came out, there was still a hint of alert in his eyes. After all, the darkness greatly reduced their sense of security, and Li Qi, a stranger, naturally made them more cautious.

Li Qi, who had originally wanted to get close to him, couldn't help but smile embarrassedly when he saw their expressions, and said, "I'll go pee."
