The old man ignored Li Qi's inquiry and pulled him to the cave with everyone.

As soon as he entered the cave, Li Qi immediately felt a hint of coolness. It was different from what he imagined. There was no strong smell in the cave. In fact, when he came in just now, he took a breath specifically because he felt that if the savage lived in the cave, there would be ghosts if it didn't smell bad. However, there was a smell, but it was not as terrifying as he imagined. Moreover, the cave was much larger than he imagined, and it was enough to accommodate dozens of people. Of course, this was calculated based on the straw mats inside.

At this time, the old woman and four older women were sitting on a natural stone collapse, and the rest of the women were also sitting on their own straw mats. Only the men were standing, but not standing casually, but a protective formation, with weapons in their hands, which shows that they were still alert to Li Qi.

The old woman suddenly said to Li Qi: "After our discussion, we are willing to keep you."

Li Qi was immediately happy and said excitedly: "This...this...this is so thankful! You not only saved my life, but also were willing to take me in. I am so...this is so touched!"

The old woman didn't seem to have taken Li Qi's trick. If he had no ability, he would not leave him. He said majesticly: "But you must obey the rules of our Black Stone Valley and not do anything that breaks the rules. Otherwise, I will drive you out of here and even execute you."

"Understand! Understand!" Li Qi nodded and agreed without thinking, "I don't have other advantages, but I just like to abide by the rules. I don't know... what are the rules here?" But I thought to myself, the rules are for destruction. If I don't destroy them, why should I come here?

The old woman said, "I will tell you later, you can follow him first."

Li Qi glanced at Rong, then nodded and smiled, "I understand, understand."

He believed that although this mercen had a very terrifying body and strength, he looked relatively honest and much better than that boy.

The old woman nodded to the woman beside her, and saw that the woman handed it to the old man with a rope thick with a little finger. The rope was not made of hemp or silk, but made of rattan silk.

The old man took the rope and immediately climbed the natural stone steps more than one meter high behind the old woman.

Li Qi looked up and found that there was a huge net hanging on the stone wall on the stone steps, but it didn't look like a fishing net. Some net knots were painted with various colors, but they were also said to be not colorful, but in short, they were not very beautiful.

I saw the old man tied the rope to the far right of the net and tied a knot.

The old woman immediately said, "Okay! Now you are from our Black Stone Valley."

"Ah? Oh...oh..."

Li Qi didn't seem to react and thought, was it just the green card issuance ceremony? He looked at the net again, did I miss any details? Suddenly, my heart moved, could it be... Is this the so-called knotted thing? Yes! Yes! It must be! This is the most primitive contract of mankind.

Wonderful! Wonderful!

Li Qi actually didn't know much about knotting things, but he just knew that there was something like this: in an era without words, primitive people used this method to record some deeds and contracts. The size and color of the knot all represented different meanings.

It made him feel very wonderful from a vague concept to a reality in front of him.

However, this was the whole ceremony, and the old woman next asked everyone to work outside.

Everyone came out of the cave one after another, and no one took the initiative to communicate with Li Qi, but they just took a look at Li Qi.

This surprised Li Qi. He thought everyone would be very enthusiastic about him. After all, he could cook, but then he realized that this was actually human nature, especially nowadays, humans still maintain animal nature, have no legal system and morality, and humans are not very powerful, so they must be more wary of strangers. In fact, the same is true for humans in the future, but the people here don’t know how to hide them.

Li Qi also fiddled with the girls. He originally hoped to rely on his handsome appearance to win the other party's favor. There are two things he is most proud of in his life. The first is appearance and the second is cooking skills. The so-called cooking skills attack their stomachs and appearance attacks their hearts, which are tried and tested.

Unfortunately, those girls were avoiding it, and no one seemed to be so moved, which hurt Li Qi very much.

Isn’t my pretty and handsome appearance a popular type here? Is it so popular? Well... Actually, it’s good. If they all like me, then wouldn’t I be destroyed by them day and night? Just like their appearance, it’s terrible to think about it!

Just as Li Qi fully utilized Ah Q's spirit, Na Rong suddenly came to Li Qi's side and said very dullly: "Go out."

"oh."

Li Qi nodded dullly. As soon as he turned around, he suddenly found that there were many strange paintings on the stone wall on the right. He couldn't help but walk over and looked up at the dense murals. There were at least hundreds of characters and animals, which looked like they were painted with charcoal ash.

But one word can be described as being vulgar.

It was painted by a three-year-old child.

At this time, the old man also came over, looked at the painting on the stone wall, and laughed.

"Taba!"

Suddenly, a young yell was heard, and a small figure flew over. His little hands grabbed the old man's beard, and swung his strength, and turned over and rode on the old man's shoulder. It was a white little fat man. He grabbed the old man's hair with both hands, tore it, and shouted, "Taba, tell a story, Taba, tell a story."

Li Qi was stunned. Not to mention this old man, even if he was so young, he was grabbed by this little fat man and swung his beard. Not to mention the pain, he would have to fall down. But the old man was not at all, calm and composed, as if he had become used to it. He let the little fat man pull his hair while patting the little fat man's butt, and smiled and said, "Let's talk about it at night, and talk about it at night."

Yes! I can attack these little kids. Li Qi suddenly said to the fat kid, "Which one of them were drawn by you?"

The fat little boy immediately put his hands on the old man's neck and hid his little face in the boring and fluffy white hair, only half of his little face was exposed, looking at Li Qi timidly. After leaving the delicious food, these little kids were still a little scared of Li Qi.

“I drew it, I drew it.”

The old man said excitedly.

"Ah? You drew it."

Li Qi looked shocked and looked at the paintings on it carefully. The brushwork was not like a drawing by an adult! But he said very contrary to his will: "Wow! This painting is so wonderful! Awesome."

The old man smiled proudly, as if he said, everyone thought so. He had no idea how hypocritical Li Qi was.

You are so embarrassed to laugh! Li Qi looked up at the murals again, and suddenly frowned, and inexplicably felt a sense of resemblance, and said, "Strange!" I felt like I had seen this painting before. It was impossible. This was the first time I saw such an ugly painting. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and looked at it again, with shock in his eyes. Could it be... Could this... is this the predecessor of our Chinese characters?

After this concept was established, the patterns gradually evolved into Chinese characters in Li Qi's mind.

"Mire! Wonderful! This is really wonderful!" Li Qi shook his head and praised. Compared to the hypocritical praise at the beginning, this sentence was obviously from the heart.

The old man smiled foolishly, looking even more proud.

Knots and ropes are recorded, pictographic characters, matriarchal society, and collective system. All of these are clearly the characteristics of the primitive era, but why their power has exceeded my understanding of humanity?

Li Qi suddenly felt as if he was in a fog, with too many doubts bothering him.

After a while, he and Ronghe had left the cave together. As soon as he arrived at the entrance, he saw a colorful butterfly flying past in front of him.

"Wow! This...is this a butterfly?" Li Qi was shocked, because the butterfly was almost as big as a palm-leaf fan, and it was extremely beautiful when flying in the air.

Bang!

A stone flew from somewhere and shot down the butterfly.

Damn it, who is so unethical? Li Qi couldn't help but frown.

"I hit it! I hit it!"

"kill!"

In an instant, the sound of killing shook the sky.

Another group of little kids rushed over with various woods and stones with ferocious faces, and there was thick dust behind them.

They rushed up directly, stones and wood, and beat the butterfly.

After a while, the butterfly had been beaten to pieces by them and was beyond recognition.

Li Qi took a deep breath of air conditioning and thought to himself, why are these children so cruel? If I resigned now, I don’t know if it will be too late.

Another young brat was seen holding butterfly fragments to his friends and saying, "When we grow up and have strong power, we will be able to hunt and kill larger beasts."

It turned out that they were playing hunting games, and a group of little kids took the trophy and chased and fought and left.

In the future, we can't mess with these little kids, as they will be in danger of their lives. Li Qi wiped his cold sweat and glanced at him. He saw that the adults ignored it. Everyone was busy with their own lives. Women were sewing animal skins with bone needles or making bone decorations. The men almost polished stone tools.

Li Qi looked at the old man again and said, "Old sir, how dare you ask for your surname?"

Hearing this, the old man couldn't help but look at him with a puzzled look.

Li Qi hurriedly said, "What's your name?"

"Taba." The old man said, "Just call me Taba."

"His dad?"

Li Qi blinked and thought the name was so disgusting, especially as he was a man, it was really hard to call it out. He bowed his hand in a habitual manner and said vaguely: "It turns out that it is Mr. Taba, who is disrespectful, disrespectful."

Taba seemed to be full of confusion about Li Qi's words and deeds, and continued: "Taba, just call me Taba."

"Yes, yes, yes." Li Qi nodded.

He also found that there seemed to be no respectful titles these days, and they all called names directly, which was a bit too much for equality.

"Taba! Taba!"

Suddenly, a woman shouted at them.

Taba responded and walked over immediately.

Li Qi looked at Rong who was dull next to him and asked, "I don't know where I slept?"

Fold your hand and point it upwards.

Li Qi looked up and pointed to the small stone cave that was many feet tall above, saying, "Are you talking about that cave?"

Rong nodded.

Li Qi shook his head and looked around. There were no stairs on both sides, not even a wooden ladder. He couldn't help but wonder: "This...how can you get up?"

In just a blink of an eye, Rong was already standing at the entrance of the cave above. He couldn't say he was climbing up at all. He jumped up like a light skill, and he leaped up on the spot, slightly tapped his toes on the stone wall, and then jumped up.

Li Qi blinked, feeling indignant. Everyone is human, why is the difference so big? Is it a problem of gravity?

He tried to jump, and found that gravity was completely fine, and his bounce was still so embarrassing.

There is no way, he can only use crawler.

Rong squatted on it, stunned, as if he couldn't understand it.

Fortunately, Li Qi was thick-skinned and didn't care at all. When he came to the entrance of the cave and looked inside, he found that although it was not small, he could accommodate about ten people, but it was very dirty and messy. The dry grass and vines were all covered together. Relatively speaking, it was far from as comfortable and tidy as the big hole below.

Oh my God! Will I live here in the future? What's the difference between this and an animal? Li Qi didn't even want to go in, but he also saw some tricks. The big hole below should be lived by women and children, and men lived in the three small holes above.
