From the roulette wheel, there was a sound similar to that of a clockwork.
Lin Ye stared at the iron piece intently.
As the sound came out, the iron piece began to rotate, just like the pointer on a time dial, starting to rotate around the dot as the center.
The speed was very slow at first, but then the speed became faster and faster, turning into a circular afterimage on the disk.
A long time passed before the iron plate stopped rotating.
Lin Ye glanced at the time number next to the time wheel.
6584542!
A terrifying seven-digit number.
More than six million days, which means a time gap of 20,000 years.
Lin Ye seemed to have thought of something, and the next moment his mind changed and he returned to a different world.
The surrounding scene has changed.
Light replaced darkness.
Lin Ye looked around and saw mountains and rivers. He was standing on a mountainside.
It's better to say it's a river than a flood.
As far as the eye could see, there was a vast ocean, and from time to time, trees were washed by the flood and drifted past. Lin Ye looked around and found that he was not the only one, but there were other people around.
It's just that these people are all topless, with only a small amount of tree bark covering their bodies.
primitive!
Seeing these people, the word primitive came to Lin Ye's mind.
Did I go back to a different world 20,000 years ago, when humans in this different world just originated and developed?
Twenty thousand years!
This time is in the past. Taking the history of the earth as an example, the birth of human beings must have been tens of thousands of years, but the history of true civilization is only about ten thousand years.
Humanity at this time is fragile.
Facing the ravages of natural disasters and floods, there are not many ways to deal with it. The only option is to flee from home.
Lin Ye looked at these primitive people with fright and panic on their faces. Facing the raging floods, they could only hide on the mountain. But looking at the extent of the flooding and rising, it was obvious that it would not be long before the mountains would also be destroyed.
As the flood spreads, these people will be swallowed up by the flood.
Giri Giri…
In the crowd, someone uttered a note that Lin Ye couldn't understand, while other primitive people looked at the person who spoke, and from time to time they echoed and made girijiri sounds.
It seems to be discussing and arguing.
After a while, the crowd stopped quarreling, and the male primitive who had spoken before suddenly jumped into the surging flood.
The flood quickly annihilated the primitive man, but a few seconds later, a head emerged from the flood ten meters away. When other primitive people saw this scene, they shouted in surprise.
.
He couldn't understand the language, but Lin Ye could tell it from the expressions and movements of these primitive people.
The primitive man who jumped into the flood probably thought of a way for his companions to save themselves, that is, they all jumped into the flood and floated down the flood. With Lin Ye's eyesight, he could see several miles away in the direction of the flood.
There is a high mountain.
Compared to this mountaintop, which can be annihilated at any time, it is absolutely safe to reach that high mountain.
Soon, many primitive people in the crowd jumped into the flood, most of them were strong men, while some women and children remained on the mountain.
But even among the strong men, only half of them emerged from the raging floods, and the remaining half were directly swallowed up by the floods.
Lin Ye looked at the only young, old and women left on the mountain. Seeing the despair in these people's eyes, Lin Ye wanted to help them, but with a wave of his hand, he realized that he was just a consciousness, or more accurately.
Said he was just a spectator.
He could not affect any plants or trees here. Even when he jumped into the flood, there was no splash in the flood.
It's like a person watching the movie "Titanic" who keeps shouting in front of the screen at the passengers on the ship: "Don't get on the ship, don't get on the ship", it has no effect.
The floods continued to rise, and seeing that these people were about to be swallowed up by the floods, Lin Ye felt regretful but did not feel that the primitive people had done anything wrong.
At this time, human beings did not have many concepts of kinship and family. They gathered together just to better find food and deal with wild animals. It was normal for them to leave in order to survive when they encountered danger.
The flood was only one meter away from the top of the mountain. These primitive people were crowded and hugging each other. When the flood reached the feet of these people, one of the old men suddenly pushed away the people around him, and then knelt down like this
Come down.
The old man was kneeling with his legs in the water, kowtowing constantly and shouting something in his mouth. When other primitive people saw the old man's actions, they also knelt down.
The flood continued to rise, almost engulfing the waists of these people. Just when Lin Ye thought that these people might not be able to escape the disaster, the flood suddenly receded.
The crowd cheered, with the joy of rebirth after disaster.
While Lin Ye was happy for these people, he looked at the receding flood. He was curious, why did the flood recede?
Did the prayers of these people make a difference?
Or did it happen that the flood had passed its peak and started to recede at this time?
Before Lin Ye could get the result, he returned to the roulette wheel, and the pointer started turning again.
6581542!
The number of days is 3,000 days short, which means almost ten years have passed.
Lin Ye returned to another world.
Two groups of people appeared in front of him, one group only had a dozen or so people, while the other group had hundreds of people.
They were still dressed like primitive people, and Lin Ye also recognized the leader of the dozen or so primitive people, the one who took the lead in jumping into the flood ten years ago, because he had a crescent-like scar on his forehead.
It can be seen from the positions and expressions of the two groups that the two sides are in a hostile state and are having a heated dialogue.
Unfortunately, Lin Ye still couldn't understand the conversation between the two parties.
A few minutes later, the man with the crescent moon mark left with a dozen people, and the remaining people knelt down again, praying something. As these people knelt down, Lin Ye noticed
, behind the block blocked by these people, many people fell to the ground.
Sickness!
Looking at the faces of the people who fell on the ground, Lin Ye knew that these people were sick.
In primitive times, being entangled by illness meant that life was about to pass away.
As these people knelt down to pray, a beam of light fell from the sky and fell on the bodies of those lying on the ground suffering from illness. The complexions of these people slowly improved as the light entered their bodies.
Lin Ye just glanced at it and followed the small group of people who left.
This group of people could not go far, and they stopped after walking only two hills, because five or six people also fell to the ground.
Obviously, these people were also infected by the disease.
The leader pursed his lips and looked at his companions who fell on the ground, and finally made a cruel decision.
He abandoned these people where they were and left with six other companions.
It was a pity that even so, their group could not persist. Three days later, two of their companions died when they were chased by wild beasts.
Seven days later, two more companions became infected.
A month later, the remaining two people had a conflict with the leader and chose to leave.
On the top of a mountain, Lin Ye looked at this primitive man with a crescent moon, sitting alone on a huge rock, standing quietly and quietly.
…
…
The needle of the roulette wheel rotates again, and this time, time has passed for another ten years.
In Lin Ye's picture, it was still the primitive man, but the difference was that this primitive man had a companion by his side.
It is not correct to say that the companion has a child.
Three children aged six or seven followed the primitive man, but the primitive man's wife was not seen.
Over the past ten years, the primitive man's skin became darker, but his figure became stronger. He was able to hunt alone. Lin Ye watched with his own eyes as the primitive man killed a wild boar with one punch.
It's hard to imagine that a primitive man could have such power.
A primitive man with great strength and speed, his children would not starve, but not being hungry did not mean that they would not get sick. Half a year later, his eldest son Taotao fell ill.
Nagging.
This is the name Lin Ye gave to the eldest son of this primitive man, because the most common syllable in this child's speech is "daotao".
diarrhea!
Lin Ye saw the symptoms of Taotao. In modern society, diarrhea is not a big problem, but the key point is that this is a primitive society, and any disease can easily kill a person.
Lin Ye watched the primitive people sitting next to the campfire under the moonlight after taking care of the children and falling asleep. Just like the scene Lin Ye saw last time, they were silent and did not say a word.
After a long time, when the moon was about to set, the primitive people used wood to pull away the bonfire in front of them, returned to the children, and lay down.
…
…
A cliff!
Lin Ye just looked at the primitive man standing there, but he sighed slightly in his heart.
Half a month had passed since that night, and he saw the three children of primitive people losing their lives one by one due to infection.
I also saw primitive people holding their sick children and going to tribes where people gathered, but those tribes did not take him in and were unwilling to treat his children.
Although he couldn't understand the language, after watching the life of primitive people for so many days, Lin Ye also saw the reason for these tribes' rejection.
Primitive people have no faith.
The human races of these tribes all have their own beliefs.
When they encounter natural disasters or illness, they will kneel down and pray.
Although Lin Ye didn't know where the power of their prayers came from and what kind of gods they were, it was indeed effective.
The primitive man looked at the cliff below. Just a quarter of an hour ago, he threw the last child whose life was taken away by illness from the cliff, and then turned and walked into the jungle.
Lin Ye was once again pulled back by the time roulette.
This time, three years have passed.
When Lin Ye saw the primitive man again, he was shocked by his behavior.
In the sea of clouds on the top of the mountain, primitive people were actually boxing, and they were doing so well.
