From Chief to Ball

"When did you sleep together?"

"At night, I still have to work during the day."

"Then let's celebrate at dusk, so that it will be night after the celebration, and we can sleep together. In the future, when others do the same, we will also celebrate at dusk. There will be more such things in the future, and there must be a name." Bar?"

"Then what should it be called?"

"Since it's for sleeping together at night, and since it's a celebration at dusk, it's called dusk, right?"

"faint?"

The clansmen talked about it for a while, and thought it was good and easy to understand.After dusk, it was night, which was the purpose of the two of them.

The pronunciation is the same. Anyway, there is no such word as “faint” yet, and someone will explain it from the perspective of alternation of yin and yang in the future. As for the words appearing after the characters appear, it will just be different words with the same pronunciation.Originally, the wedding was written as a dark ceremony. Although the reason was completely irreconcilable with Chen Jian's excuse, at least there was an extra word he was familiar with.

Marriage is not just about sleeping together.From the perspective of ancestor worship, marriage is the union of two people, the starting point of the birth of a new life, and it can be regarded as an important event like sacrifice.Without descendants, how can anyone come to worship the ancestors?

People are always going to die.

The men in the clan were thinking, if they died, who would come to offer sacrifices to them?Who remembers himself?

They felt that the civet cat was different from them. Even if the civet cat died, the children of Lancao would know that it was the civet cat's blood and would remember this person.But when I die, it will be different. No one will remember me, and the children will only remember their mother.

No need for Chen Jianduo to say anything, the clansmen naturally thought of this, the continuation of blood is the biggest proof of their existence in this world.

But just paying attention is not enough, Chen Jian wants to use this opportunity to change some things.

He looked at the group of people who squeezed in, and said with a half-joking and half-testing attitude: "Congratulations to your tribe, you have such a good woman."

After he finished speaking, the whole room became silent, not only silent, but also eerily quiet.

Lancao looked at Chen Jian anxiously and said, "You...you don't want me anymore?"

Not only her, everyone was looking at Chen Jian, not understanding what he meant.

Chen Jian hurriedly explained: "No, of course I want you, you are still my sister. But you sure don't just want to sleep with him, do you? Don't want to eat and also be together? Usually together?"

Only then did Lancao feel relieved, and wondered: "But our two tribes are always together."

"What about other people in the future? When those tribes come, what if what others like is from other tribes?"

"Then why do you want me to go to their tribe? Why don't you let civet cats come to our tribe?"

As soon as these words came out, Shitou and the others immediately said, "That's impossible."

This is just a subconscious reaction, it has nothing to do with blood closeness, but with interests.

Men can't leave the tribe, and they have to rely on men to cultivate land in the future, women can't do this job.You can't just let a man go to another tribe.

In addition to plowing the land, it also involved the spoils of war. The slaves captured last time not only plowed the land and dug ditches, but those women also spun a lot of flax.The future slaves will be divided according to the number of men who send troops to fight, and no tribe is willing to let go of such benefits.

This is no longer the era when women were collected to maintain the survival of the tribe. If it was that era, of course they would be willing to let men leave and let women come to their tribe.Not only can more people collect by hand, but also have more children.

Chen Jian's clansmen thought the same as Shitou and the others, but they sat in different positions. Naturally, they felt that it would be good to have an extra man, and they all shouted: "Why can't it work? I think we should let the civet cats come to our clan. "

Civet cat and Lancao didn't expect that they just wanted to sleep together, which caused such a big disturbance, and they were both a little uneasy.

Chen Jian coughed lightly, turned around and said to the tribe: "Calm down. Now Lancao is going to another tribe, and in the future women from other tribes will find men from our tribe. The quarrel is. Let's think about the future. Don't you want to find women in the future? Don't want your blood to stay? If civet cats come to our tribe, will other tribes take this as a custom and let men go? Their tribe?"

Only then did the clansmen calm down, after thinking for a long time, they felt that this was indeed the case.

"In addition, we don't need to think about anything between the four tribes. We are all together. In fact, it doesn't matter whether we go or not. But if we get married with other tribes in the future, we have to consider many things. We make pottery, alchemy, The kilns are all things that can be exchanged for things, and they are all done by men. Our men have gone to other tribes, what should we do if we talk about these things? Can we still get things in exchange?"

After finishing speaking, he comforted Lancao and said: "Sister, you are still my elder sister, you can be wherever you want, can we not let you eat when you are in the tribe? Besides, your brothers and sisters are all in this tribe , it’s no different from before. It’s just that we have to consider other tribes in the future.”

"Women want to continue their blood, and men are the same. They also hope that someone will remember themselves after death. That person can only be their own blood. Just like me, I know my mother, but I don't know who and my mother gave birth to me. If not, my child in the future will not know that the other half of his blood is mine."

The men nodded, this is what they have always thought, they just never thought about how to do it.

After a long time, Lancao turned around and looked at the expectant civet cat, finally nodded and said, "Okay."

Chen Jian turned back and said, "This is my suggestion. Let's talk about it. Do you agree? If you agree, it will be the same practice with other tribes in the future. Women come to men's tribes."

The clansmen were silent for a while, and looked at the old grandmother together.

The old grandmother sighed imperceptibly. As the leader of the tribe, she only had two things to consider.

The continuation of the bloodline and the interests of the tribe.

Now it seems that the lives of the clansmen are getting better day by day. If I live one more day, I can see many different places. She doesn't need to think about life anymore.

From the perspective of interests, she can perceive the difference between today and the previous harvesting era. Men are becoming more and more important. She also understands that the tribe's current interest is to keep men as much as possible instead of sending men outside.

She takes the continuation of the bloodline a little further than others.

In the future, the continuation of the blood of the tribe will depend on men rather than women.

Women from other tribes will keep coming to their own tribe, and women from their own tribe will keep leaving for other tribes. In the end, only men can maintain the bloodline.

When she gets old, the whole tribe will never have a female leader... If she is still young, maybe she will not agree.But now, as long as the bloodline continues, that's fine.

She suddenly felt that the evening ceremony... is really like evening.

Isn't dusk the time when the sun sets and night begins to appear?When the evening ceremony appears, the era of female leaders will come to an end, and men will start to shine like stars.

However, no matter if it is a man or a woman, as long as the blood continues, there will always be someone who will remember him.For a man is also his own son, the son of his own daughter.

And I am already old, and it is almost time to be remembered.

So she nodded and said, "Okay, let's do it this way."

Chapter 45 Preparations

Two and a half months later, the third spring rain fell.

In a cave in the mountains to the north of the Caohe River, there was a cry of babies from time to time. The women were breastfeeding. The leader looked at the gradually growing tribe with a smile, and looked at the wheat that had begun to tiller outside, and his heart was full of joy.

The spring was good, the sheep gave birth to three lambs, the horned deer gave birth, and even the tribe had four pairs of twins.

Before the women were due to give birth a month ago, Jian's tribe sent two people, a man and a woman.

The man held a weird thing in his hand, it wasn't a stone, it had a faint bluish-yellow luster, it was about half an arm long, and it could fit on a baby's head when it opened.

With the help of this tool, only one of the three women in the tribe died, which is something worthy of celebration.

After burying the dead clansmen, the two men went back, saying that the village was currently crushing struvite to add to the wheat and bean fields, and they had to go back to work in a hurry.It's been a month now.

The leader stood at the entrance of the cave and looked at the spring rain outside the cave, thinking that in less than two months, the harvest would be ready, and he and his clansmen would be able to move to the city. here it is.
