Chapter 49: Voting with Your Feet
"Richie, I... I don't want to eat it! ”
The farmer tossed aside a piece of grass in his hand.
"Huh?"
Li Qi raised his head and said, "Why?" ”
Nong said with a aggrieved face: "Now what you let me taste is not grass, but these don't look delicious." ”
Li Qi sighed: "I don't want to either, but we only have so many fruits and roots in Blackstone Valley, and you can taste everything you can." ”
Nong Dao: "Then don't taste it again, what's the use of tasting these." ”
Li Qi didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, took out the gum, and said, "Keep tasting." ”
"Oh."
Nong took the gum, immediately threw it in his mouth, chewed it happily, and suddenly remembered something, and said, "Li Qi, do you remember the matter of raising animals?" ”
Li Qi frowned slightly, and then recorded the medicinal properties again, and said, "Of course I remember." ”
Nong said expectantly: "I think now is the time." ”
Li Qi said lightly: "What do you say?" ”
Nong swallowed his saliva and said, "Since we have eaten the long worm meat, we haven't eaten delicious dishes for a long time, and the dried fish exchanged from the wild lake department is not delicious at all, and they have all been eaten, and now everyone wants to eat animal meat to make vegetables." ”
Li Qi suddenly raised his head and asked, "Have you ever gone out of the valley to hunt for so long?" ”
Nong was stunned, thought for a while, and said, "I can't remember clearly, it seems to have been, it seems that there has been." Why do you ask this? ”
"Nothing."
Li Qi shook his head and thought, isn't all this really a coincidence, the so-called "heaven" is really helping me? He asked again, "By the way, I remember Rong told me that we still have a forbidden place in Blackstone Valley. ”
Nong nodded, pointed to a high peak in the direction of the creek and said, "That is the forbidden land of our Black Rock Valley. ”
Richie asked, "Why can't we go anywhere?" ”
Nong shook his head and said, "I don't know about this." ”
Li Qi said: "So no one has ever been there?" ”
Nong Dao: "That's not it, only people who are dying go there." ”
Li Qi was stunned and said, "The one who is dying? ”
Nong nodded and said, "That's right! If anyone is going to die, go there by themselves, and my mu went there before he died. ”
No wonder, no wonder, I'll just say that there is something missing in Blackstone Valley, this old man is few, and there is no cemetery, so it is. Li Qi frowned and thought, it seems that there must be some secret hidden in that forbidden place, I have to find a way to go over and take a look, but before that, I have to prove one thing first.
Nong cautiously said, "You don't want to go again, do you?" ”
"How are you .....!" Li Qi raised his head and said, "I'm always going." ”
"You can't go!"
Nong suddenly panicked, the last time was to escape death, this time he will not follow Li Qi crazy.
"I'm going to die, you're going to die too, can we not go then." Richie said with a roll of his eyes.
Nong was stunned, and then smiled: "That's right, we will always die." So saying, he asked, "What about raising animals?" ”
Li Qi pondered for a moment and said, "Wait two more days." ”
In fact, the heat is almost the same now, but he still has to wait for two more days, he just wants to see if it is a coincidence, or if the "heaven" is helping him.
As a result, he won the bet again!
The turtle shell seemed to be out of order, and there was no reaction at all.
Frustration spreads through the Blackstone Valley.
"Taba, how long have we not gone out hunting?"
Po Yi also seemed to sense everyone's frustration, so she asked Taba.
Taba said, "I'm afraid it's been a few days!" Should... It should be shorter than the last time it snowed. ”
Po Yi nodded slightly, but didn't say anything more.
She didn't dare to complain to the heavens.
But will others be like her?
.....
"I want to eat meat! I want to eat meat made by Richie! ”
The man looked at the fruit in his hand and pouted.
"No more practice! What's the use of practicing these, how long has it been since we went out of the valley to hunt! He sat down on the ground and threw his bow and arrows aside.
Chi frowned and looked at him, opened his mouth, but didn't make a sound.
Lie scratched his head vigorously and said, "I can't remember how long it has been since we have eaten the flesh of a beast. ”
At this moment, I suddenly heard a sigh and said, "If only we were like the Ying tribe and raised a lot of beasts." ”
As soon as these words came out, they were stunned and looked for prestige, only to see the farmer sitting cross-legged on the ground, holding his chin and sighing.
Barbarian jumped up directly, a pair of big eyes shining, "The farmer is right, why don't we raise beasts?" ”
Everyone suddenly realized that they had forgotten Ying's story before, because the giant python was enough for them to eat for several days, so they didn't care whether they hunted or not.
And now the people of Blackstone Valley have been spoiled by Li Qi and the giant python, they can no longer stand the days of eating grass every day, they want to eat meat, they want to eat the meat of beasts, and they want to eat the dishes that Li Qi makes with meat.
If God didn't give them food before, they had no choice but to wait silently, but now they have the concept of raising beasts, and have more powerful weapons, even Chi, who has always been very obedient to the rules, is very eager to hunt, he really wants to try the power of the bow and arrow.
In addition, there are farmers fanning the flames, and everyone's pursuit of meat is becoming more and more intense.
The next night.
"Po Yi, why don't we raise beasts, so that we can have meat to eat every day."
After receiving the dinner, he really couldn't help it, stood up, and shouted at Po Yi.
"We're just like the Ying tribe now, we haven't eaten meat for a long time, we raise animals." Ryuya stood up.
Megumi immediately stood up and said, "Are you angry with the heavens?" ”
Taba hurriedly shouted, "No, no, you can't be disrespectful to the heavens." ”
Hiro and Lie were stunned.
That's all you have to offer! Li Qi secretly glanced at the farmer.
Nong stood up and said, "I think if we raise beasts, it will be the best respect for God, and God will be very happy." ”
Taba was stunned and said, "Nong, what do you mean by that?" ”
Nong said calmly: "Let's think about it, why God blesses us is because we are too weak, this is what Taba said." But I think there are many people out there who are weaker than us, and God will surely bless them. So I think the reason why God hasn't given us food for so many days must be because it's so tired, and we're really sorry God! ”
Hui and the others couldn't help but be stunned, as if they were a little blinded by the peasants.
Some of the people who eat melons are dumbfounded, maybe they don't understand it at all.
Taba scratched his head, a look of understanding.
Li Qi has been paying attention to Nong, thinking to himself, although this kid's eloquence is good, and he is not stage frightened, but his acting skills are still a little immature, and he should get two tears out at this time, which will make his guilty emotions more fully expressed, so that everyone will cry with him.
He continued: "If we raise animals, then we don't need to bother with Heaven giving us food every day, and God can help more people in need." ”
"Nong, you said it so well!"
He did a somersault on the spot and shouted excitedly.
Many people nodded their heads.
"What's good!" Hui said angrily: "We have always survived in Blackstone Valley like this, and if we change, it will bring disaster to our Blackstone Valley." ”
Po Yi nodded slightly.
Nong Dao: "We are just raising beasts, we have not broken the rules, how can this bring disaster to our Black Stone Valley." ”
The gang said: "What Nong said is right, the rules of our Black Stone Valley do not stipulate that we are not allowed to raise beasts, and the heavens are not allowed to raise beasts, why can't we raise beasts." ”
Hui said angrily: "I think the reason why God does not give us food is because you want to raise beasts, which is God punishing us. ”
Li Qi is really powerful, and he knows what Megumi will say. Nong's heart was shocked, but he said, "I also said that the reason why God did not give us food is because God wants to encourage us to raise animals. ”
This scaremongering Megumi began to gasp a little.
After the peasants went to heaven and the rules were blocked, more and more people stood up to support the peasants.
At the same time, there are also many people over there who support Megumi.
"That's it! All right! ”
Po Yi stood up at this time and said, "The rules of our Black Stone Valley do not stipulate that beasts are not allowed, and the heavens are not allowed to raise beasts, so we still follow the rules and set the rules for whether to raise beasts or not." ”
The principle of Blackstone Valley is that everything should be expressed in the form of rules.
Taba nodded.
Hui and Nong also agreed.
Except for Po Yi and Taba, everyone immediately came in the middle, including the four night watchmen outside.
Sitting in the back, Li Qi was looking forward to it, because this was his first time participating in the democratic system of a primitive society.
But the process is simple, it's to vote with your feet.
Those who want to raise animals go to the left, and those who don't want to raise animals go to the right.
As a result, the side that supports animal breeding completely blows up the side that does not support it.
Their minds can't be complicated, they only have two concepts in their minds, to eat meat or not to eat meat, so who doesn't want to eat meat, especially if they haven't eaten meat for so many days.
There are only more than ten people on Hui's side, all of whom are relatively old women.
"Richie."
Po Yi suddenly looked at Li Qi, who was the only one sitting in the middle.
Li Qi raised his hand and said, "I think both of them have a lot of sense, so I give up the choice." ”
He is a human being, and in this case, he is not guilty of offending anyone.
Po Yi was stunned, obviously no one had abstained before, but looking at the number of people on both sides, it didn't matter if Li Qi chose it or not, he made a wooden stick and said majestically: "From today on, we can raise beasts in Blackstone Valley." ”
"Oh... We can eat meat every day! ”
The farmer immediately cheered.
Hui's side was depressed, but no one raised any objections, or said that they were unwilling to admit defeat, and being willing to gamble and accept defeat was also the rule they had always defended.
PS: It's Monday again, time flies so fast, Xiaoxi also saw more and more familiar names appearing on the interface of Chef Wang's book, and she was very moved, the only thing Xiaoxi could do was to work hard to write this story, a complete story, so that everyone felt that this vote was not in vain.
In addition, to answer the questions that some readers are most concerned about, that is, the question of the heroine, the heroine will definitely have it, to tell the truth, without the heroine's book, I am not very good at writing, and you can't ask a single dog to write another single dog story, it's too cruel.
Finally, I hope you can continue to support Chef Wang.
Little Xi Bye Thanks!
