It's not just them who are on the run.

There are so many wild beasts running around, it seems that the fire is not just the place they see, even if it is a tamed mount, it will not care if the "current" master is whipping against a branch when it runs.Wu Luo and Su Cu suffered from Liu Jun several times, and there was no serious injury on the face, but the flesh on the arm was probably swollen, and it was in sharp pain. In a few hours, the bruise would probably disappear to emerge.

Fortunately, the vines were not hanging around the neck, otherwise the wildfire would not have come, and I would perform a sudden death on the spot first.

Qingwang should be Yan Xiaowang's long-term mount, or he is used to taking care of children. It runs light and agile, very agile, and with a pair of big horns, it will automatically avoid various inconvenient places, so the appearance of green tea is not. They were in a panic, and all they had to do was hug Yan Xiaowang who was both the steering wheel and the driver obediently.

After all, walking on four legs is faster than walking on two legs, not to mention that more than 50 members of the tribe act together, and at night, when the sky is dim, Uro and the others finally caught up with the large army.

Wu Luo was embarrassed to sit on someone else's mount again. The main reason was that his legs were numb and he had to walk down to relax his muscles. As for Su Cu and Green Tea, they quickly jumped off, but when others envied them and asked what it was like, The two replied with bright eyes, "Scary!"

I feel like I'm floating when I walk on the ground.

I guess it was comforted by what Uro said before. Everyone went out together. It didn’t look like fleeing, but like an outing. They were laughing and laughing all the way. A few wild beasts followed them not far away, probably coming out together to seek refuge of.

Wu Luo originally wanted to take Yan Xiaowang down, but it was more suitable for him to be a child riding a deer. After all, among the two beasts, only Liu Jun was more obedient and able to control him. Maybe he would go crazy if he left Yan Xiaowang.He doesn't know if all modern animals are so spiritual. He only knows that some birds will show intelligence and collectiveness, but he doesn't know much about beasts like Liu Jun and Qing Wang.

If the wildfire only burned a small hillside, they just changed some tools and came back. When they arrived, they could clear out a isolation zone, but the whole forest was set on fire.

This is far beyond what they can do.

Such natural disasters, in modern times, can have various preparation plans, at least people, tools, and command can extinguish them in time.But if it does become violent, the manpower is limited from the beginning to the end. In the end, he still has to run. Uro doesn't know whether the decision he made is right or wrong. Maybe it's better for them to dig out the isolation zone overnight, maybe What you are doing now is letting the wildfire continue to burn.

It’s just that such doubts need human lives to fill. If luck is good, no one dies, but if luck is bad, or Uro’s guess is wrong...

Taking a gamble is not the best option when you don't know anything.

At least the chips in Wu Luo's hand couldn't afford to gamble with God.

When we arrived at the lagoon, it was already past noon, and the tree that Uro jokingly wrote "tail" was still growing tenaciously. Most people in the tribe had never been here - after all, salt making and salt mining Each had a fixed manpower, and everyone couldn't help but exclaimed. A few naughty boys slid down the hillside and fell into the white salt ground. Start sticking out your tongue.

"Jie, is this the place?" Amber confirmed.

Jie nodded. Sometimes she was as light as a bird, jumping on a high stone in two or three times and looking from a distance, "Here, there is no fire here."

The men and women found an open space and immediately started cooking. Jie still remembered where the nearby water source was, and invited a few people to go with her. He was far calmer than Uro.This is not surprising. People in this era are far less comfortable than those in later generations. Even the class has only a rough outline. They are like scattered seeds on the wasteland, running with the wind, with better luck and fallen leaves returning to their roots, but with bad luck. Find a new place again.

It is because life is so fragile and it is so difficult to live that people try to seek the blessing of faith and spiritual comfort.

In the face of life and death, everything is a trivial matter, and they will naturally not indulge in useless sorrow and ignore the really important things.

This is what Uro really didn't expect. In his world, a fire and the destruction of his home are almost equivalent to wasting half his life's hard work. He was racking his brains to think about how to boost morale, but he didn't expect that he was the most frustrated .

And Amber is instructing everyone to divide labor and cooperate. They don't have a house, so let's build a small thatched hut with some dead branches and firewood for the time being.This is not a very good place to live. When the fire is completely extinguished, they must change to a new home, or return to the original cave to see the situation.

This kind of thing is always experienced, but the time is long or short, Amber is somewhat reluctant, but it is not painful, and there is even a little joy, after all, I have seen such flames, but no one died, enough To prove that this is not a punishment from heaven, Uro is always right.

Although Amber didn't understand it, she thought that since the landing was so far away, the other tribes who came to take a peek were probably punished, but they caught fire and almost accidentally injured them.

Anyway, Xingxing didn't die in their house anyway, so it's not a big problem.

Most of the children got to work quickly. They either helped the adults to carry the children on their backs, or they took clay pots to pick salt, and they took Wu Luo's words seriously.Brother Xiaoku probably knew that they were leaving home, and the younger children either thought they were just going out to collect salt together, or they didn’t know about human affairs, so they were distressed together when they saw the adults crying. The adults are happy together when they are happy, and there are almost no worries.

The salt-making house was still there, and Yan Xiaowang walked over with Qingwang and Liu Jun with ease, occupying the hut, and everyone else recognized who he was and who his father was, so they didn't have much of an opinion.Even if there were a few who couldn't see it, and didn't understand why this child was in their tribe, after asking Amber, they knew it was the arrangement of the witch, so they didn't say anything.

In ordinary trivial matters, everyone will trust the leader more, but such a natural disaster, everyone will subconsciously obey the witch's arrangement.

After lunch, everyone got busy again. Yan Xiaowang didn't show any reaction of being "hijacked" or "rescued". Make lunch in the cabin.When Wu Luo went in with a large leaf of yellow rice noodles, the blood on the ground hadn't completely dried up, and the smell was everywhere in the air. He was dumbfounded by the scene, but fortunately, Yan Xiaowang was eating and roasting, and he quickly dealt with it , and even gave Uro some meat in exchange.

"Are you ok?"

Wu Luo and Yan Xiaowang didn't understand the language, so he was somewhat helpless about this, so he touched the child's head, wondering if the other party realized that his own father went out in the middle of the night instead of going to the nightclub to cheer up, but to fight the fire, and he might not come back coming.

Yan Xiaowang blinked at him, and unexpectedly replied, "Okay."

The crisp childish voice was very immature, and even sounded a little cute. Uro stared at him blankly, unable to react for a while.

"Can you understand me?"

This time Yan Xiaowang had to distinguish for a long time. After thinking about it, he spat out a string of gibberish codes that Wu Luo couldn't understand at all, and then began to eat the yellow rice noodles they pounded with relish.

It seems that Yan just started teaching Yan Xiaowang to speak this language, so he can only understand a few words.

Yan Xiaowang is not very old, but he is proficient in many languages, or he is used to talking in business—children are easily influenced by the environment, just like if the relatives in the family come from all over the world, there are various dialects during the Chinese New Year. Yan Xiaowang's way of speaking is very easy to be biased. Yan Xiaowang is not necessarily biased, but is learning different languages ​​of communication in this living environment.

After all, the language system these days is not as complete as the one brought by Uro. Everyone is creating and using it at the same time, and most of them are relatively straightforward and easy-to-understand words.When I was in the Lianshan Tribe, they created a lot of new vocabulary. This is the reason why Amber successfully communicated with them while learning and exploring.

Wu Luo remembers seeing a report saying that "phoenix" in oracle bone inscriptions represents many homophones, not only bird, but also "wind". Patterns, of course, are the same for words.

This made Wu Luo thoughtful, but saying nothing is as important as eating now, so he stopped saying anything and let Yan Xiaowang eat lunch wholeheartedly, "Forget it, you can eat well."

He got up quickly and left.

It was a mediocre day. Everyone ran out overnight and only slept half the night, or didn’t sleep well all night. After Wu Luo went out to discuss the next few days with Amber, he borrowed In Yan Xiaowang's room, he slept on the net bed all afternoon, and when he woke up, it was time for dinner again.

The people stayed up all day without sleep, and after dinner, they got into the grass nests to sleep, and when the sun set, the salt ground was covered with more than a dozen small grass nests.

During this period, Amber has been wanting to talk to Uro about serious matters, such as what is that thing that can see flames far away, why Uro knew it was not punishment after seeing the stars falling, and the fire How long to burn and so on.According to their usual practice, once something happens, it is natural to run as far as possible. The shortest time is ten days and a half months, and the longest time is several years.

Things like living in salt fields, although not many, but not without, more often they will dig a tree hole to come out and nest in, and then change to a new place after a long night, if there is enough local food , they will stay longer.

But looking at Uro's appearance, it seems that he decided to turn back and have a look.

Does God's punishment still come sometimes and sometimes not?

This is a confinement of Amber's mind. She subconsciously defaults to the punishment of the heavens when the stars fall, so such a terrible fire is naturally also one of the punishments. In addition to her lack of experience, she doesn't know that there are many situations and possibilities for the fire. I thought that if it burned up, it would definitely burn up.

So she didn't understand why Uro was still trying to return to the land of divine punishment.

It's just that everyone has just left the tribe, and she needs to direct many things. In addition, when Uro came to her, everyone was talking about the resettlement situation, so they couldn't find a chance to ask questions.

Seeing that Uro finished his meal now, Hu Po just wanted to stand up and talk to him, when she saw Chen rushing out suddenly and occupying the position next to U Luo, Hu Po's face was instantly pulled down.

She still remembered the first time she was scolded, and it was also because of this child, not that Amber held grudges, but it was inevitable that people would remember embarrassing things deeper.

Chen is not fighting alone, he is still holding the little rabbits that only eat leaves. These little rabbits have been weaned very early, and their fast-growing heads are showing, like the one in his arms, with long fur and thick skin. Three catties of pork belly can be squeezed out, and in the early summer, the prickly heat is almost coming out.However, in the eyes of the tribal people, they are both food and pets, so when they move, they especially remember to chase them for a long time. Some of the frail ones did not grow too big, so they were stuffed into the back basket together. Small children who cannot walk are kept together.

Uro even thought it only took 10 minutes to pack up, but it took hours to chase the rabbits.

"That star." Chen looked at the sky. There was no light this time. The starry night was no different from usual. It was even hard to imagine the extreme beauty of the many rays of light yesterday. No, if they don't like the stars around them, they will leave home like us to find new ones, but they can't stop, they just fall down and die, right?"

Uro laughed at his romanticism, but agreed, "Probably so."

Amber sat on the side resentfully, sneering disdainfully.

"How?" Uro couldn't help but look at their leader, Chen shivered like a little rabbit and didn't dare to speak, so he could only act as the middleman and ask, "Huber, what's your opinion—I mean, what do you think? "

"There is light, don't die, that's fine." Amber answered her own thoughts quite concisely. Her curiosity about the calendar is based on practical results, not how much she is fascinated by the sun, moon and stars. After all, she and Chen Different, the survival of the entire tribe occupies most of Amber's energy, so the answer is very pragmatic.

Uro couldn't help laughing.

"What's wrong?" Amber asked puzzled, "Isn't it right?"

"It's not wrong." Wu Luo smiled, "That's right, but what Chen said is not wrong. What you see is different. Chen can see that the sky is changing, but you care more about everyone's survival. Seeing the changes in the sky , can help us control many things, and of course survival is also very important."

Amber felt weird when she heard it. She felt that Uro seemed to have said a lot of very reasonable things, but he didn't seem to say anything. He praised her and Chen, but he still laughed very satisfied.

However, there was still something Chen didn't understand. He looked at the sky and still didn't understand why the fire started.

"Wu, the dead stars set the trees on fire." Chen asked in confusion, "Is it because the thunder sent them? That's why we hear the thunder and see the fire."

Amber is also very curious about this matter. She is not interested in the sun, moon and stars, but she is curious about the answer, just like a person who is not keen on gossip, when he hears gossip while waiting, he also wants to hear the result .

The reason for the natural fire these years, besides the unprovoked spontaneous combustion due to excessive temperature, is lightning.What's more, when the meteorite fell, they heard a loud noise, and the sky can make noise for no reason, and only thunder.

Chen's speculation sounded extremely absurd, but it was actually reasonable.

"Not Ray."

Uro shook his head. No matter how bad his astronomy is, he also knows that meteorites have no direct relationship with thunder. Those loud noises are not caused by thunder, but the sound of the meteorite itself. As for more details, you have to ask an astronomer. Or a scientist who doesn't know much about the things involved.

"what is that?"

"It's the sound of the flying stars themselves."

The vast majority of meteorites will not hit the ground, but will burn up in mid-air. This time, Uro cannot guarantee that there will be traces of meteorites when such a fire is caused. It may even be just a pit, or even no pit. , is simply the only flame left after the meteorite burned.

Preferably not the latter.

Otherwise, it will really lose the forest and lack iron.

Most of the meteorites are meteorites, and a small part is meteorites. If you are lucky enough to win the first prize, then Wu Luo can only go to the mall to buy an iron ax to calm down.

After the disaster, many trees had to be felled. According to their current tools, there was not much possibility. Collecting charcoal in time could still save some small assets.Uro is willing to violate his own principles a little bit in such a serious situation, otherwise the difficulty of this survival game will suddenly escalate to the level of hell.

In modern times, there are many answers for what people want to live for. Stress and pain are inevitable things in life. Sometimes I feel like I am a tool person.

In fact, these should not be compared. Anxiety is based on the situation of living without worry. Because of food, clothing and incomparable safety, people will give birth to many ideas and thinking of dignity, freedom and even higher, which means that people begin to Go further afield.

Under the circumstances that nothing can be guaranteed, the people of the Sun and Moon tribe only hope to be able to survive on this land. It is not so much a simple wish as it is an almost simple wish, so Uro wants to fulfill it for them. This desire even wants to see where they can go in the safest possible situation.

His history will not necessarily remain, and the civilization he has experienced will not necessarily be passed on.

But this past, Uro has been here and seen it, and that is enough.

"Where do they go when they die?"

Chen cupped his face and said, the rabbit nestled quietly in his lap, looking at the sky together, "So that kind of fire, are other stars burning it? Just like we will burn the lost clansmen."

Primitive people’s imagination is mostly based on what they know, and it’s the same for many years, just like most of the monsters imagined by humans in modern novels are based on what people are familiar with, no matter how many hands and feet they have. The worms, or the meatballs with countless eyes, and other horrible images.The most successful is probably the Cthulhu mythology, which is an existence that cannot be said, but in individual descriptions, it can still feel the characteristics of other animals.

Most of Chen's understanding is also based on his own cognition, which can be reflected by his feelings for the stars.

"Chen, you might have the potential to become a poet." Uro reached out and touched Chen's head in surprise, not knowing what to say for a moment, he said slowly, "The moment it chooses to be free, it is All the stars have given up, and they won't have a funeral for it."

Chen's eyes dimmed all of a sudden, "That's it."

Amber, who was listening, became aggrieved. She folded her chest and asked, "Don't they even care about their own clan stars?"

It took Wuluo a few minutes to understand what "clan star" meant, and he said with a dumbfounded smile, "This...well. It's like Yan, leaving the tribe, leaving the tribe, but he is strong enough to live alone , but the stars are not like this, when they leave their original place, they are doomed to complete this journey alone."

"It went by itself?"

Amber asked in confusion "Why?"

"Because it wants to see other places, other worlds, and doesn't want to stay here forever."

It was only then that Amber finally understood what the reason was, and felt a little unbelievable for a while, "Is it okay to die just for such a thing?"

Uro couldn't explain to her the cause and effect of these things, so he just smiled and let her think about it, but Chen kept focusing on the key point, "Since the stars didn't help set the fire, why did it burn? Is it running through the sky with fire?"

"Didn't you already know that?"

"known long time ago?"

Chen looked at Wu Luo blankly.

"How do we usually make fire? When the stars fly down, don't they fly very fast?" Wu Luo said slowly, "It's because it's fast enough, like a rotating tool, so the fire is made."

Green Tea, who was not far away, was listening to the gossip with great interest. When he heard the news, he couldn't help jumping up, and quickly ran behind the three of them. , will it catch fire suddenly? Or is it easier to catch fire like a wolf."

"Ah——" Amber was listening seriously, and suddenly cried out in fright, "Green tea, what are you doing!"

The three of them were covered in white sweat from the fright, and even the rabbit rolled over and pretended to be dead. Chen was subconsciously aphasic, and his mouth was still wide open due to fright. Only Wu Luo shivered and reacted.

"They're not fast enough."

Between killing Green Tea and answering, Uro chose the latter.

The main reason is that Amber chose the former, and there is really no place to intervene.
