Chapter 56: Save Yourself
"Richie, where is the grass you picked?"
"Forgot!"
"Huh?"
"I'm a little tired and want to be alone."
"Oh."
Back in Blackstone Valley, Richie went to the tree alone.
He thought that he would understand all this when he saw the "heaven" he had done, but he didn't expect that he would become more confused, and even feel like he had become a caged beast.
"If it was a dream, then who am I? Where is this again? What is my wish? ”
Li Qi sat under the tree and muttered to himself, and the more he thought about it, the more he struggled and suffered.
No matter how big the difficulties he encountered before, he never denied himself, he was always full of self-confidence, however, the words of the old turtle made him begin to question himself, and even felt that he had become very strange, he was unwilling to believe the words of the old turtle, but the facts in front of him made him have to believe the words of the old turtle and think about the words of the old turtle.
It was a problem he had never encountered before, and it had plunged him into a state of distress that he had never experienced before.
.....
"Why is Richie sitting alone?"
He looked at Li Qi from a distance and said worriedly.
"Don't bother him, he's thinking." Taba said.
"Oh."
Quite seriously nodded.
Richie didn't know how he had passed the day, he didn't even know how he had gotten back to his tent, how he had watched the dawn with his eyes open, and how he had swallowed the irritating tooth grass under Taba's astonished gaze.
Until......!
Syllable!
Whew---!
"Ahh
A sudden scream made Li Qi wake up suddenly, he found himself standing on the edge of the fire pit, and saw that they were all looking at the fire pit in extreme horror, he turned his eyes and couldn't help but be surprised, but saw that the turtle shell suddenly burned, burning very fast, in a moment, it turned into a wisp of green smoke, and there was not even a bit of scum left.
After a short period of surprise, Li Qi immediately calmed down, because he knew that the old turtle was gone, and the burning of this turtle shell also meant that it would no longer bless the people of Blackstone Valley, but this could not be said to be a kind of farewell, in fact, it was more like an abandonment, just like abandoning his own doll, because of its arrival and departure, it had never won any people's opinions, and it was completely based on its own momentary likes and dislikes.
"Tower. Tabba, how... How so? ”
Po Yi's eyes were wide open and full of fear, and her body trembled slightly.
"Ahh
Taba suddenly let out a terrifying scream in his throat, plopped, fell to his knees, trembled violently, and immediately passed out.
"Taba!"
Li Qi hurriedly stepped forward, helped Taba up, and shouted anxiously, "Tapa, Tapa." ”
He was afraid that the old turtle would take Taba away by the way!
Taba opened his eyes slowly, and tears suddenly flowed from his cloudy eyes, and he choked up: "Heaven... Heaven bless us no more! Heaven bless us no more! When he said the back, he burst into tears.
"What... What the? Heaven no longer bless us? ”
When Po Yi heard this, her body shook, and suddenly her eyes turned black and she fell down.
"Po Yi!"
Fortunately, Hui was quick and stepped forward to help Po Yi.
The two main characters of Blackstone Valley all fell, and the entire Blackstone Valley immediately fell into a panic.
"If God doesn't bless us, what should we do?"
"Woooooo Woo woo, we're not going to die! ”
"Ah----!h
Suddenly, there were cries in front of the cave, as if the end of the world had come.
Li Qi looked around, only to see Qiaoma and Man crying heartbreakingly, while Chi and them were at a loss, and there was only one thing to see in their eyes, that is, --- despair!
Endless despair!
All along, Blackstone Valley has been blessed by God, so they rarely feel fear in their hearts, even if they die, it must be a call from God, and suddenly they lose God's blessing, and they immediately fall into despair.
For some reason, their cries, their despair, made Li Qi very disgusted, he hated all this from the bottom of his heart, because he was more powerless in his heart, suddenly stood up and roared: "Don't cry! ”
The roar seemed to startle them, and the crying stopped abruptly, and everyone stared at him blankly.
Li Qi raised his hand excitedly and said: "Look around you, look at everything here, what is given to us by God, all of this is what we have exchanged with our hands, our sweat, and even our lives." All this time, God is just playing with us, it is playing with us, playing with us like fools. The fate of our Blackstone Valley should not be in the hands of the heavens, but in our hands, and our lives should be defended by ourselves. ”
Everyone looked at Li Qi dumbfounded, with shock and fear in their eyes, this was the first time they had heard that someone dared to be so angry with the sky, but they were frightened.
Stand up! Stand up for me! Li Qi looked at them very anxiously, at this moment, he did not feel that he was being needed, but he desperately needed someone to support him, to support him in denying everything that the old turtle had.
"Ahh
Suddenly I heard a yawn, only to see Rumble suddenly stand up and stretch a lazy waist.
Whew!
Everyone looked at him in amazement.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Long Long was startled, scratched his head and said, "Li... Richie, said... It's like, well, that's right. ”
In fact, he didn't listen at all, and he didn't feel afraid, because his mind was very simple, and he couldn't think of it that complicated, so long-term, he just saw that after the prayer was over, then he should move freely, this is the rule.
What a mistake!
"Richie is right." Chi suddenly stood up and said lightly: "Our lives should be protected by ourselves. ”
Everyone looked at Chi in surprise.
Rong also stood up.
Nong stood up.
Suddenly, Man also stood up, his little face tensed, but his big moist eyes were full of fear, his little short legs trembled freely, and his little mouth was tightly closed, as if he was going to cry in the next moment, but he still tried to force himself to stand.
One after another, some more people stood up.
A slight smile appeared on the corner of Li Qi's mouth, looking at them, his eyes were full of gratitude.
At this time, Taba also staggered to his feet, holding the deadwood staff, and his gaze swept over their faces, and suddenly said, "I think I know why the heavens no longer bless us." ”
Everyone couldn't help but look at Taba.
Taba said, "Because we've become stronger!" ”
Everyone was stunned at first, and then they all showed joy.
Tabba, you're wrong! We're not strong yet, we're just abandoned, but we're definitely going to get stronger.
At this moment, Li Qi's gaze suddenly became firm, and he said in his heart, no matter why I am here, no matter who I am, no matter how powerful you are, but at least my fate should be decided by myself, not by you telling me who I am and what I should do.
"The days of bondage are over, and we will welcome a life of freedom, light, joy and happiness."
Li Qi waved his fist and said impassionedly, it can be seen that everyone looked at him blankly, without any reaction at all, and couldn't help but feel embarrassed in his heart, and then looked at the fire pit next to him, and pretended to smile easily: "From now on, the only use of this fire pit is to expel the beast for us and bring us light, I am proud to have all this, because this fire is not a gift from God, but brought to us, which also proves that we use our ability to protect ourselves." As he spoke, he looked at Rong on the side.
Rong scratched his head and smiled innocently.
Nong, Man and the others also laughed.
They smiled, and the atmosphere suddenly lightened up.
But this is only on the surface, and only a few of them are willing to believe in Li Qi, after everyone dispersed, they were all eager to find work for themselves, and then worked frantically, and the valley seemed very quiet.
For a long time, the people of Blackstone Valley have believed that they have survived under the blessing of God, in other words, they cannot survive without God, and this is already something in their bones. However, today God really left, and it was very sudden, so they were desperate to find a replacement, otherwise, they would not be able to live, no matter what this thing was, but there must be one, so at this time Li Qi suddenly stood up, and everyone quickly accepted his remarks.
Of course, this is only a temporary replacement.
Richie understands this, of course, but now they can only save themselves.
In the hole.
"Li Qi, we in Blackstone Valley will rely on you in the future!"
Po Yi, who woke up slowly, looked at Li Qi with tears in her eyes.
Li Qi smiled confidently: "Po Yi, what are you talking about, Blackstone Valley still needs your leadership, I believe that Blackstone Valley will definitely be able to become stronger under your leadership." ”
"May I?"
Without the blessing of God, Po Yi has no confidence in herself at all.
Li Qi nodded and said, "Taba has already told me that the reason why the heavens no longer bless us is because we have become stronger, and our Black Stone Valley has become strong under the leadership of you. ”
Taba on the side nodded straight.
Po Yi reluctantly smiled.
In fact, Li Qi can take the lead at this time, but the position of Po Yi does not have any real power, the main thing is to arrange tasks and resolve everyone's disputes, at this point, Po Yi is actually doing a very good job, Li Qi thinks that he may not be better than Po Yi, after all, he is not familiar with the world, and he still has a lot to do, he knows that a person cannot become a climate, and must rely on everyone's wisdom.
After comforting Po Yi, Li Qi suddenly came to the front of the stone wall full of murals, looked at it for a while, and suddenly said: "Taba, have you ever thought of using a simpler painting to express your story?" ”
Taba was stunned for a moment and said, "Simple painting? ”
"Hmm!"
Richie bent down and picked up a piece of charcoal, then climbed up, pointed to two of the murals, and said, "You painted these two paintings mainly to express that a beast is chasing a man, right?" ”
Taba nodded.
Li Qi said: "I will express it in a simple painting now. The beast's movements at this time were chasing. ”
As he spoke, he used charcoal to write the word "chase" on the painting.
He pointed to another painting and said, "This person's action at this time is to flee." As he spoke, he wrote the word "escape" under the painting.
In fact, these two words are very similar to those two paintings.
Taba's eyes lit up, "You... Your paintings.... ”
He was a man full of wisdom, so when he saw Richie's writing, he was immediately excited.
Li Qi smiled: "This kind of simple painting, I call it 'text'. ”
