Chapter 20 Race against the night

A few days ago, Li Qi was so absorbed in thinking about his backpack that he didn't have time to think about it too much. Now that he has got the backpack, he has to seriously think about his next step. First of all, he must figure out everything here, because There are too many things in this era that make him puzzled.

For example, this answer from Taba.

"You said it was because we were too weak?" Li Qi dared not believe it.

From his point of view, the people here are all masters of martial arts, so where do we start when we are weak!

Taba nodded.

Li Qi frowned, and asked uncertainly: "You mean, there are tribes outside that are stronger than us."

Taba said with fear in his eyes: "It's scary outside."

If this is the case, then if they want to kill you, can you still escape?Li Qi was a little confused by Taba's logic, but he soon realized that he had overlooked a very important thing, and said: "That is to say, as long as we stay here honestly, God will Keep us safe from harm?"

Taba nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes."

Li Qi asked even more curiously, "Then why doesn't God protect us when we leave here?"

Taba said: "That's because God saw that we were too weak and took pity on us, so he was willing to protect us. If we still go hunting in other people's territories, God will naturally not protect us anymore."

This is superstition?Why do I sound like a story about a big brother and a little brother, it's too mundane!Li Qi rubbed his forehead, thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "Then what if we become very powerful?"

Taba was stunned for a moment, and said, "If we have become stronger, then why does God still protect us?"

Li Qi was immediately dumbfounded. He had been to the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty also offered sacrifices to the heavens and prayed, but that was to pray for the blessing of the heavens. To live is to seek peace, no matter whether you are rich or poor, weak or strong.

And the God in Taba's mouth is more like a sympathetic and good man, which is completely different from Li Qi's usual understanding of God.

"Let me sort it out, I'm a little messed up right now."

Li Qi thought for a while, and said: "You mean, at the beginning, God saw us as very weak and pitiful, so he designated a territory for us. As long as we behave well and don't leave this territory, God will Will bless us, but if we are disobedient and go out of the territory without authorization, then God will no longer protect us. Also, the reason why we have to stay here in order is because we are too weak, as long as we are very If we are strong, we can go out of our own territory, and God will not punish us for it.”

Taba nodded, then shook his head and said, "Why does God punish us?"

What kind of providence is this, this is clearly human nature!Is there really someone playing tricks behind?Li Qi understood what he heard, but he was even more confused in his heart. He suddenly remembered something, and asked again: "Since you have never gone out, why do you know that it is very dangerous outside? Have you seen other tribes?"

"Mu told me." Taba said, and said: "Oh, we have been in contact with the wild lake tribe nearby."

"Wild... Wild Lake Tribe, there is a tribe around us?"

"Ah."

Li Qi asked curiously: "Then if you don't go out, why are you here?"

Taba said: "They are the ones who came to our place."

"What are you doing here?"

"mating."

"Mating."

Li Qi was stunned for a while before realizing that it had been a long time since he had heard this word used to describe a certain human movement. He thought to himself, this primitive era seems to be some kind of group marriage system, one tribe married another tribe, could it be Is this group marriage?But he wasn't interested in this for the time being, and it didn't arouse any interest in him, so he asked again: "This Wild Lake tribe is stronger than us?"

Taba said: "They are much stronger than us."

Li Qidao: "That is to say, God will not bless them?"

Taba shook his head.

Li Qi frowned and thought, it's impossible, isn't belief valid for everyone?If there really is a god, why does it only protect the weak and not the strong? This is really outrageous!Could it be that their ancestors said this on purpose to scare them?But the problem is that Taba's prayer is really very effective!

After a while, Li Qi asked suddenly: "Taba, do you know what the gods mean?" is living under the sky.

"God?"

Taba opened his eyes, and then remained motionless, as if in trance.

Li Qidao: "Taba, are you okay?"

But Taba ignored him, and tapped his head with a dead wood stick, "God, god, god, I seem to have heard of it somewhere, where did I hear it, why can't I remember?"

Where did I hear it?Are we talking about the same thing?Li Qi frowned, thinking to himself, it seems that they don't have the concept of gods, at least it's different from what I said.When he raised his head again, he found that Taba was already sitting on the steps with his legs crossed, muttering to himself.

Li Qi yelled twice, seeing that he ignored him completely, he sighed helplessly, God?What the hell is this god?But if this heaven really exists, then find out what the sky represents, maybe I can go back to Song Dynasty, yes, this is a clue, I can't give up.

While thinking about it, he came out of the cave, just in time to see Rong walking by, so he shouted: "Rong!"

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Li Qi suddenly found that Rong was wandering around the entrance of the cave with a big stone on his back. He was surprised and said, "Wow! What kind of shape are you? Are you killing Matt?"

Rong looked at Li Qi with a confused face.

Li Qi pointed to the stone on Rong's back.

Rong said, "This is a pot."

Li Qi snorted, "Is that the stone pot you dug in front?"

"Ah."

"Wow! It was chiseled so quickly. Ke Ke, why are you carrying it on your back?"

"I learned from you."

"When will I—!" In the middle of speaking, Li Qi touched his hat suddenly, and the corners of his mouth twitched vigorously, thinking, why don't you do this, it's not good to take the blame, if it becomes a symbol of a chef , who would dare to be a chef in the future.Suddenly, he glanced at his backpack and thought to himself, Erye Guan also has Zhou Cang to carry a knife, I can't carry this bag all the time!faint!What am I thinking, how can I easily hand over such an important thing to others.Asked: "Rong, how long do you think Nong and the others have to go? Can they come back before dark."

Rong said: "I think it should be ok, it will take a while before it gets dark."

Li Qi asked suddenly: "That's right! How do you know it's going to be dark?"

A few days ago, he had been thinking about his backpack all the time, and he didn't pay much attention to many things. It was only today that he suddenly thought of this problem, because the sky here is always so bright, there is no sunrise and sunset, it means that it is dark when it is dark , but they seem to be able to judge the darkness, and they can always light the fire pit before dark, which makes Li Qi quite curious.

Rong pointed to the big tree in front of the cave and said, "You can tell by looking at it."

Li Qi looked up and saw the dense leaves, he shook his head and said, "I don't understand."

Rong said: "When the leaves are falling, it means that it is going to be dark."

"What... what? This... so amazing?"

Li Qi walked over in surprise, raised his head, and stared at it. As Rong said, all the leaves are drooping down, not only drooping, but also shrinking, just like the process of leaves turning into dead leaves .

"Wow! This is amazing, much more reliable than my watch."

Li Qi shook his head in amazement, and only in this way could they budget for the dark way.

As the leaves drooped, people throughout Blackstone Valley began to feel anxious, because none of the warriors in Blackstone Valley had returned.

In addition to being busy making a fire inside, Po Yi and many others came to the big rock in front of the valley entrance, looking anxiously into the distance.

Li Qi was also among them, with worry on his brows, but he was worried that they would encounter wild beasts, while in Po Yi they had a natural fear of the night.

At this time, the other side of the sky seemed to suddenly darken, and it was moving this way.

It was the first time for Li Qi to watch the movement of the night from such a long distance, and he felt it was extremely spectacular.

"The night is coming, the night is coming."

Waiting for the little kids to have already hid in their mother's arms, trembling.

"Look, it's Nong and the others, they're back."

Qiao Ma suddenly pointed to the distance.

Li Qi looked over and saw a dragon running towards him from afar.

"Nong, run, the night is behind you."

Man suddenly bravely stretched out his head and shouted loudly.

It's okay for him to shout like a child, but Qiaoma and the others all followed suit.

"Run! Run!"

"Run! Don't let the night catch up."

Li Qi couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, but he suddenly realized that it seemed that Nong and the others were really racing against the night, the speed was getting faster and faster, and the night was always following them closely.

It made Li Qi a little nervous.

Seeing that the night was about to enter the Black Stone Valley, Po Yi hurriedly called everyone back to the entrance of the cave, which showed that they were unwilling to stay in the night for a while, they had to stay in a place with firelight.

At this time, Rong had already started the fire.

After a while, Nong and the others entered the valley mouth and ran towards this side, only to see them galloping with the corpse of a huge python on their shoulders. You must know that the huge python weighed at least two tons, but they were still able to run out of the valley. A weird speed.

Li Qi was numb to this, and he still couldn't understand why Taba said they were too weak.

Man and the others shrank at the entrance of the cave, continuing to cheer for Nong and the others.

When they entered the field of fire before the night came, the entire Blackstone Valley was full of cheers.

For they outrun the night.

PS: Ask for a small ticket on Monday.
