The God Game: From Creation of Man

Chapter 14 Death and Rebirth

The moonlight is dim, and the galaxy is bright.

The crackling sound of the bonfire burning makes people unable to bear the urge to sleep.

Li Xiang gently picked up the stone and carved a horizontal line on the wall.

"1, 2, 3, 4, 5..."

“9，10，10+1，10+1多3撇。”

"Teacher, you've been awake for 10+1 days plus 3 more days! Isn't that right!"

The sound of woo woo woo sounded, mixed with simple pronunciations, which were the numerical syllables of one, two, three, and four.

"Hahaha, you little idiot."

"How can you count like this!"

Leaning against the rock wall and sitting beside the bonfire, Li Xiang looked at the little guy beside him, Jin, in a good mood.

I rubbed his head and explained to him that it was 11 straight numbers and 3 extra days.

That adds up to exactly 58 days.

It's not 10+1 plus 3 more.

Li Xiang smiled and lay down on his bed relaxedly.

Feeling the softness of the three sheets of fur and hay piled up, he let out a sigh of relief.

The little guy followed suit and lay down on Li Xiang's bed.

As everyone who falls knows, the Prophet has a super comfy bed.

But it seems that only the little guy dares to lie on it so boldly.

After all, not everyone can become a student of the Prophet!
Yes, students!
Jin has been studying with Li Xiang for a long time. This little guy who is curious about everything is very smart.

During the period of following himself, Jin learned simple mathematical calculations, handicrafts, some simple language sounds, and even some simple writing.

He learns very quickly, he has almost learned the addition and subtraction within ten, and even after the little guy's own thinking, he has already started to try to add and subtract after ten.

Of course, he hasn't learned this yet. After all, he only has ten fingers, and the little guy hasn't learned how to add his toes yet.

Language and characters are also learned by the little guy, but the effect is not very good.

When Li Xiang taught the little guy characters, he seemed to be learning very hard, and it was difficult for him to understand the graphics and their corresponding meanings.

But for some simple pictographs, I learned quickly.

Such as fire, such as mountains, these words that have a good comparison with reality, he can barely remember them, and he can even write them.

Language pronunciation is also learned very slowly, and can only speak some simple syllables.

After all, he is still a child. Considering his age, he might have just started kindergarten on Earth.

Li Xiang didn't plan to force him to study too much, just take his time.

In this barbaric era, what he lacks most is time.

After a while, the little guy seemed to be tired, and fell asleep while lying on Li Xiang's bed.

There was still some saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth, as if he was having a sweet dream.

"Learn, learn more."

"It will always come in handy in the future."

Seeing that the little guy seemed to be asleep, Li Xiang lay on the bed, his mood fluctuating slightly.

He didn't know if it was meaningful to teach the little guy these things in this era of primitive tribes.

Looking at the tribe full of less than forty people, Li Xiang didn't think that after learning these things, the little guy would be able to ignite the fire of civilization and establish civilization in this barbaric era.

The development of things must follow its most basic laws.

The tribe's population is too small, its productivity is too low, and it simply does not have the foundation to ignite the fire of civilization.

Even if Li Xiang forcibly plucks the seedlings to encourage them to grow, it is almost impossible to have any real gains.

But he just felt that it should be so.

It's always good to sow some seeds.

Maybe?

right.

Maybe there is a miracle?
After all, in this wild and magical world, human existence itself is a miracle.

As he was thinking wildly, waves of drowsiness also came from his mind.

He is also very tired.

It has been almost two months since he traveled to this world. From the excitement, nervousness, and readiness at the beginning to the repetitive work day after day, Li Xiang felt very tired.

In the past few days, he and the people of the tribe have been trying to expand the plantation. Thanks to the magic power of the dragon remains, the plants in the plantation are growing very well. The seeds were sprinkled in the soil of the plantation, and unexpectedly, seedlings actually grew.

Seemingly due to the influence of the dragon remains, the seeding rate of these Karan is much higher.

Considering that there are still a lot of dragon remains left, Li Xiang led a few people to expand the plantation towards the interior of the mountain. The area is now almost twice the original size, and it is just a little bit short of the final finishing touch, and a few more acres of planting. Even if it is finished.

Thanks to the large amount of dragon scales in the lair, otherwise Li Xiang and the others would have had to spend a lot of effort digging through the rocks.

After thinking about it for a while.

Li Xiang finally fell asleep foolishly.

It seems to be too tired and dreamless all night.

In the early morning, Li Xiang was caught by a burst of crying.

In the not too big cave, a shrill cry woke him up.

Open your eyes, everyone in the tribe has already woken up, standing in a corner of the tribe, watching something in a circle.

Li Xiang stood up with some doubts, and walked over to check.

In the center of the crowd, a strong man in his prime was holding a baby in his arms and weeping in pain.

In front of him, a huge plant leaf was covering the body of a somewhat frail woman.

This woman is dead.

After giving birth to a baby early in the morning, he died of haemorrhage.

The man knelt on the ground in pain, gently holding the baby in his arms, tears streaming down his face.

He didn't know how to express his pain, but the loss of his loved one still made him almost collapse.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Xiang wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to comfort him.

Even in a barbaric place that is almost a moral desert, loved ones are treasures that everyone longs to protect.

The whole tribe fell into a dead silence.

It was not until a long time later that a loud baby cry sounded, bringing everyone's thoughts back.

As if realizing something, the man got up in a panic, and without hesitation to shed tears, he began to ask the woman who had given birth in the tribe to take care of the baby, for fear that he would die like this.

In this era, the survival rate of children is not too high.

The child had been silent just now, and the man thought that the child and the woman had gone together.

Now that the child is still alive, it can be regarded as bringing a little light to this heavy sadness.

Woohoo, after a while, the tribe became chaotic again, and many people were busy raising supplies and taking care of the baby.

It wasn't until half an hour passed that he calmed down.

They wrapped the dead woman with several huge leaves.

When it gets dark, it will be sent to the lake of Eden, so that she can return to the embrace of nature.

Many years ago, they were born by the lake, and now they have returned to the beginning.

The people of the tribe believe that the water of Eden's lake will bring peace to her soul, and the moonlight will illuminate her way home.

Looking up, the little baby is also wrapped in such a leaf at the moment, like a baby's swaddle.

The man who was still crying just now had packed up his grief and began to work as hard as possible to keep his child alive.

They have seen too much life and death.

Cherishing those who are alive is the most important thing.

Li Xiang stood beside him, silently watching what happened in front of him.

Feeling a little heavy, but don't know what to say.

This was the first tribal population change he had seen since coming to this world.

Death and rebirth unexpectedly appeared on the same day.

Death has always plagued every human being.

Even in the world of his own past, in the era of highly developed medical science and technology, human beings have not escaped the trouble of death.

This is the fear that every living being must face at the end.

But luckily, hope always follows.

After a long time, when Li Xiang was in a daze, a black shadow appeared in front of his eyes.

The man just now came to Li Xiang's side at some point.

He stood in front of Li Xiang very cautiously, then knelt down on one knee, lifted the infant baby with both hands, and placed it in front of Li Xiang, muttering something.

"Prophet, please give this child!"

"Come up with a name!"

"Your wisdom will protect him from suffering forever!"
