Chapter 8: Prayer and Divination

(Ask for collection, ask for recommendation)

Although Richie's miraculous experience has enabled him to face any difficulties calmly. But this doesn't mean that he can endure being in the same hole with a group of snoring and no pantsless savages, which is too dangerous for him to return to Xiao Xianrou, he would rather sit outside and wait for the dawn, and he thinks that it is impossible for him to fall asleep with a heavy heart.

Of course, this was not the case, and the experience of this day had made him very tired, and before he knew it, he fell asleep.

.....

"Richie! Richie! ”

Li Qi was dazed, as if he heard someone calling him, he couldn't help but open his eyes, and what caught his eye was a pair of flip-flops, he couldn't help jumping up in surprise, "I'll go back... Tower... Taba? ”

When he looked up, he saw the old face that had scared him half to death not long ago, and it was like pouring cold water from head to toe.

"You're awake!"

Old man Taba said with a smile.

Could it be that the front is an illusion? I saw a pair of flip-flops just now, and Li Qi looked down and found that Taba was indeed wearing flip-flops on his feet, but they were relatively simple, and the sole of the shoe was a piece of animal skin, tied to his feet with rattan, but it was completely designed with flip-flops, and he made an eye at the front end, and then inserted it with rattan and wrapped it around the heel. I wondered, "Your shoes..." ”

"Shoes! Is this called a shoe? Taba excitedly pointed to the leather shoes that Li Qi was wearing, and then to his flip-flops, looking excited.

Unexpectedly, the first pair of shoes of our humans was actually flip-flops. Li Qi suddenly saw Taba suddenly jump left and right in front of him, and couldn't help but be stunned, what was he doing? When I looked down and saw that he was jumping on the stone, I immediately understood in my heart that Taba was telling him that he had understood the role of this shoe, and secretly said, he deserved to be the smartest person in Blackstone Valley, and he was really powerful! Thumbs up and heartfelt: "Yes, this is called shoes, you are so smart, smart." ”

Taba couldn't close his mouth even more, and after laughing for a while, he suddenly remembered something, and handed a piece of turquoise grass to Richie.

"What is this?" Li Qi subconsciously took a step back.

Taba sent the grass in his hand to Li Qi again.

Li Qi took the grass with a puzzled face, and found that the grass was specially shaped, with serrated teeth on both sides, like human teeth.

Taba said, "Eat it." ”

Is this what breakfast is? Let me graze early in the morning, I'm not a horse! Li Qi nodded and said perfunctorily: "Okay, I'll eat later." ”

Taba shook his head and said, "You have to eat it now." ”

Li Qi said: "Why? ”

Taba said, "Because it's about to be prayed." ”

"Pray?"

Li Qi was stunned, and suddenly remembered that primitive people seem to be very good, but the problem is that prayer is prayer, how to make it look like a cult, you have to eat grass beforehand, will you have to let blood later? I looked at the grass again, and thought, this thing is not poisonous, right? Cautiously asked, "Everyone wants to eat?" ”

Taba nodded.

Seeing Taba staring at him, Li Qi knew that it was impossible to escape, so he had no choice but to put the grass in his hand into his mouth, he first bit a small piece, only to feel that the taste of the grass was extremely stimulating, just like chemicals.

"Gross!"

Li Qi couldn't stand it anymore, and with a whoop, he spit out, "Bah, bah! What does it taste like.... ”

When he said this, he was suddenly stunned, because he found that he spit out saliva, and there was a lot of scum in it, and at the same time he felt that his mouth had become fresh, and there was an indescribable comfort.

Could it be that this is primitive toothpaste? Richie looked at Taba in surprise.

Taba laughed again, that is to say, it is normal for Li Qi to spit it out.

So amazing? Oh, I see, it's the same as bathing and changing, cleaning the dregs from your mouth before you pray.

After understanding, Li Qi put his mind at ease, he didn't have to swallow it anyway, he ate a large piece, endured the stimulation and chewed, until he couldn't bear it anymore, he spit it out, this grass seems to be able to stimulate saliva secretion, spit out a large mouthful of saliva. He only felt that his mouth became extremely relaxed, his breath was fresh, and his heart was full of surprise, this grass is really magical, it shouldn't be Taiyuan ecology, and the taste is not very good, if it can be processed into mouthwash, haha, the problem of this mouth can be solved!

Just as he was immersed in his fantasy, Taba suddenly grabbed his wrist again and pulled him towards the fire pit, don't look at Taba looks seventy or eighty, but his strength is really not small, but Richie is used to it.

Tabara dragged Li Qi to the fire pit, only to see that there was a pile of black charcoal left inside, but there was a small fire burning in the middle.

Suddenly Richie noticed that the entire Blackstone Valley had come out, with men standing around the fire and women kneeling facing the fire.

What is this for? Richie's face was clouded.

I saw Taba holding a gray-green tortoise shell the size of a basin, taking off his flip-flops, and stepping barefoot into the fire pit, probably because the fire had been extinguished for some time, and it was not very hot for his feet. Taba placed the tortoise shell on top of the small fire in the middle, then respectfully retreated to the fire pit, came to the front of the woman, knelt down, turned his back to the sky, raised his hands high, and muttered something that Richie did not understand at all.

The men began to dance around the fire pit, singing with their mouths in their mouths, and they couldn't hear what they were singing.

Li Qi didn't expect such a play at all, fortunately he was not a shy person, seeing that everyone was dancing happily, he also jumped up, but the other people were very pious on their faces, but he was angry, people were praying, and he was dancing.

After dancing for a while, the small fire in the fire pit gradually went out, and Taba stopped singing, and the men stopped with it.

Taba came to the fire pit, picked up the turtle shell, touched it with his hand, and then turned around and shook his head.

Then the men also knelt down and fell to the ground, and all of them had that pious look on their faces, and after a while, they stood up.

What's going on here? Li Qi was confused, quietly came to Nong's side, and asked in a low voice, "Nong, what happened just now?" ”

Nongdao: "Begging God to give us food. ”

Could it be that food falls from the sky? Li Qi looked up at the sky and secretly praised, the blue sky here is really beautiful! He shook his head again and said, "I don't understand." ”

"Why are you so stupid?" Nong said with a look of disdain.

Richie shrugged and said, "I'm stupid, but I have chewing gum." ”

Nong immediately explained to Richie.

It turns out that they are praying, or divination, that is, putting the turtle shell in the fire, and if there is a crack, pointing to a certain place, it means that there will be prey in that place, and the men have to go out to hunt, and if nothing happens, then there is no need to go out to hunt.

After listening to this, Li Qi said secretly, you all believe this thing? Make the fire bigger and see if you can burn the turtle shell, it's a common sense in physics, it's a miracle that you didn't starve to death! yes, they didn't starve, oh, I see, they still pick, even if they don't eat meat, they can't starve.

He used to be definitely an atheist, but after those strange things happened to him, his thinking changed a little, and he thought that if there was a god in this world, then he was a unique god, because he could pass through, and if he was not a god, who was qualified to be a god.

Suddenly, Li Qi felt that someone was patting him on the shoulder, and when he looked back, he saw a man with a very indifferent expression, a slender body, and eight strange abs looking at him expressionlessly.

"Is there something wrong?"

Richie asked very politely.

The man said, "It's time for you to train!" ”

"Training?" Li Qi was stunned.

After the man finished speaking, he turned and left.

Wow! So cool? Li Qi turned back again and found that Nong was gone.

......

There is a flat land behind the stone mountain, and at this moment, the little children and teenagers in the Black Stone Valley are standing on the flat ground with various wooden and bone tools in their hands, including the older student --- Li Qi. Except for Li Qi, the adult man is left with the indifferent man, who knows without asking, he is in charge of everyone's training.

"Next!"

"I'll go!"

The indifferent man threw a stone gun at Li Qi, but fortunately Li Qi had suffered this loss, and he was prepared to dodge quickly.

There was a muffled thud.

The indifferent man looked down at the stone spear on the ground, and then looked at Li Qi with a stunned expression.

Li Qicai ignored him, stepped forward, bent down to pick up the stone spear, and immediately exclaimed: "Can you give me a lighter one, let alone throw this thing away, I have to work hard to hold it." ”

The indifferent man said lightly: "This is the weapon that an adult man should use." ”

Li Qi smiled and said, "But we don't need such heavy weapons there." ”

The indifferent man was silent for a moment, took back the stone spear that Li Qi was holding in both hands, and handed Li Qi a bone gun.

"I can barely accept this weight."

Li Qi took the bone gun, breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Do you want me to carry the gun to practice sprinting?" ”

The indifferent man pointed ahead.

Li Qi looked over and found that there was a large round tree stump more than two meters high fifty meters away, and it was buried in the soil, he blinked and said, "If I understand correctly, are you asking me to take this bulky bone gun and shoot that stump?" ”

The indifferent man said: "It's not a shot, it's a shot... Enter. ”

"Shoot... Shoot... Enter? Wow! Li Qi nodded, then rolled his eyes and said, "You shoot me?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the indifferent man threw out the stone spear in his hand, only to hear a faint banging sound in the distance.
