Chapter 146: "Night Solstice"
"Okay, when the prayer time is over, there is no need to extend the time! If anyone wants to continue, then go home and pray on their own, after all, there are still people hungry, aren't they?"
"Your ...... of Existence"
"Gen"'s voice stopped abruptly, his mouth opened slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it, and finally he could only bow to the ground, waiting for Li Hang's final verdict.
The apes all sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and knelt quietly ready to listen to the guard's next words.
"Originally, when the prayer was over, it was time to rest! But today is different, and you may all have guessed why it is different. ”
Li Hang, who was squatting on the earthen platform, didn't speak loudly, but because he was extremely quiet, these words reached everyone's ears.
"Leaving this aside, I am not accustomed to my people listening to me on their knees hungry when I have eaten and drunk enough to talk. Holding his breath, Li Hang didn't choose to be angry first.
Looking around, he saw that the apes were all looking at him in disbelief. "Big Fly, you take a few flame envoys and carry my moa out on both ends. ”
"No, I'll go now, and you guys will come with me. ”
This is the cuteness of the big fly, although sometimes his brain is a little insufficient, but as long as the guardian orders anything, he does it directly without asking the reason.
In his words, it is: "No matter what the reason, the truth, the word of protection, is the truth, the truth." ”
The food storage place of the exclusive guardian beast was very close to the earthen platform, and after a while, a few people from the big fly carried over the body of a moa with a huge beak and thick feathers, and placed it in front of the earthen platform with a "bang".
"See this moa?" Li Hang raised his front paws and pointed at the moa.
"I remember that in the prayer I prayed for I had just prayed, that my presence had relieved the people of hunger and thirst! Yes, yes, as long as I had been in the tribe for a day, there would not be a single person who died of hunger. ”
Woo!!
As soon as Li Hang's categorical words fell, the apes couldn't help but exclaim.
In the tribes of this primitive world, although death is commonplace, because of the protection of guardian beasts, whether hunting and gathering, the probability of death is not high, but it is the old, weak, sick and disabled who have no ability to contribute, and there are more people who die of starvation and disease.
"Without further ado, tonight, regardless of rank, all the people, I grant you a night of fullness, now, start enjoying it. ”
"Goo-toot!"
The sound of swallowing saliva came and went, although the apes were in awe of Li Hang, they didn't dare to be the first to step forward, but they didn't know how to hide it, their eyes looked at the moa directly, and they didn't blink.
Originally, this kind of thing was led by the leader, but Ah Yan's heart was in turmoil, and the guardian didn't deliberately look at him to give him a signal like before, so he didn't dare to make his own opinion, but just lowered his hanging head again and again.
"Isn't there anyone who eats it? I'll eat it first!"
It's a big fly who speaks, it's not easy for him to wait so long, anyway, the guardian says that everyone can eat it, so why don't you eat it.
Standing up a few steps and walking to the moa, he pulled out a bone spur from his waist and stabbed it fiercely in the relatively soft abdomen of the moa, and the muscles on his arm were tensed.
Just as he was about to stuff it into his mouth, he rolled his eyes, lifted the piece of meat, and smirked at Li Hang, "Guard, why don't you eat it first?"
"Well, don't worry about me, you can eat!" softly rejected his kindness, "What? Aren't you hungry except for the big flies?"
Looking at the big flies that were chewing and swallowing, the words of guardian shattered the last trace of hesitation in the hearts of the apes, and they all stood up and ran towards the moa.
Although the moa was huge, it almost failed to satisfy the more than 100 hungry apes, and soon became a pile of bones.
Because of the guard, the apes did not dare to snatch wantonly, and after most of them were full, the remaining half-starved ones also held a few bones each, trying to break them and suck the marrow to satisfy their hunger.
During this period, Li Hang didn't say a word, sat on the earthen platform, watching the smiles of the apes who were gradually satisfied because of the food, and thought silently in his heart.
He was not very satisfied with the leader Ah Yan and the preparatory witch "root", but there was no more suitable candidate in a short period of time, so how to deal with them was a headache.
"Well, now that the hunger has been resolved, it's time to begin. ”
It was pitch black in the banyan forest, and Li Hang suddenly spoke.
"Today is the first day I officially became a guardian, and it is also a day of heavy losses and frequent crises, but it is also a day full of hope and is about to enter a beautiful day. ”
The voice is muffled.
"The lion king has just passed away, the strange beasts around him, the beasts are unwilling to be lonely to attack, I killed once, twice, maybe tomorrow there will be a third time, the fourth, I can kill them, but I may not be able to protect everyone, after all, I am the only one to guard, and the beasts are inexhaustible. ”
The apes listened quietly, and the joy of having their stomachs full gradually dissipated.
Therefore, I gave "fire" to the banyan tree, and used the "fire" to help me protect the "banyan" and protect my people. The voice suddenly became excited, and Li Hang jumped off the earthen platform and said as he walked.
"Fear of flames is in the nature of most creatures, beasts and aliens, you see. ”
Syllable!!
The "Flying Gorge Strike" fell on the dead leaves, the sparks splashed, and the flames rose.
The apes, accustomed to the darkness, saw the flames illuminating the darkness, and the tense atmosphere did not dare to come out, only the crisp burning sound of the small fire "crackling!" echoed nearby.
"See? This is the light, and the banyan is about to step into the light. Li Hang looked at the flames and said softly, the long tail rolled up a handful of dead leaves and sprinkled them on the flames.
The flames dimmed, and then they lit up again with an even more brilliant red light.
"The Flame Messenger came closer, and the Inner Envoy stood behind me. Turning around and giving an order, Li Hang rolled up a few dead branches again and put them on the fire. ”
When the apes who had been chosen as the flame bringers came, the fire was already in a big circle, and they looked at the flames with trembling excitement and looked at the guards.
While adding firewood, Li Hang instructed the flame messengers.
"The flame is kindled by me, but I don't want it to be extinguished again, this is the seed of light, the embodiment of beauty, the core of protection, can you protect it?"
The apes nodded desperately, unable to say a word in excitement.
"Emissaries, keep in mind everything I say, after all, you will be responsible for the maintenance and maintenance of the flame in the future. ”
Nodding again, the faces of these apes illuminated by the firelight were all excited.
"You've all gone collect dead leaves and branches, so I'll teach you how to feed them. ”
Li Hang whispered to the flame messengers gathered around him how to add firewood to the fire, how to choose the flame fuel, and how not to prevent the flames from spreading and turning into "calamity".
