"What did you say?" Mu Xiaohua asked in surprise. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"I said I'm going to live with you for a few days in the Chashan tribe." Yu Tong repeated honestly, smiling with crooked eyebrows: "You'll agree, right?" ”
"Disagree." Mu Xiaohua said expressionlessly.
"Okay!" The corners of Yu Tong's lips lifted.
Mu Xiaohua thought that he had given up and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but he continued: "It's good to stay with you for five or six days, it's such a happy decision." ”
"Pleasant what? I didn't agree. ”
"I was going to stay for more than ten days."
"Where do we have a place for you to live?"
"Just lay on the floor, didn't you take so many animal skins!"
Mu Xiaohua had nothing to say, so Yu Tong stayed in the Chashan tribe in the middle of the night before, and having no place to live or anything could not be a reason to refuse him, and who could stop him from doing what he wanted to do?
"Isn't there anything you have to do in the tribe?" Mu Xiaohua wondered.
"Nope." Yu Tong replied very simply.
Mu Xiaohua was speechless again, and asked in silence: "Why did you suddenly want to live in the Chashan tribe for a few days?" ”
"Didn't I say I like to live with you? Since you don't stay in our tribe and continue to live with me, and I want to continue to live with you, I am the only one who comes to the Chashan tribe to live with you. ”
Mu Xiaohua stroked her forehead, this bunch of living together made her dizzy, and it was useless to say more, so she still didn't say it.
"Besides." Yu Tong added: "Didn't I promise you to teach the people of the Chashan tribe to hunt?" ”
"Yes." Mu Xiaohua nodded and gladly accepted.
With Mu Xiaohua here, the speed of the group was definitely not fast, and they stopped and stopped, and it took about three and a half hours to approach the Chashan tribe.
There was still a little distance from the intersection of the Chashan tribe, and I heard a noisy voice from the altar square in the distance.
"What are you doing? Still so far away to hear a sound? Mu Xiaohua muttered in confusion.
"Let's go check it out first." Ah Mei said and pulled the world to run, and Xiaohu ran fast with the world.
Mu Xiaohua glanced at Yu Tong and frowned slightly.
There are still two bends to see the altar square at the entrance of the tribe, Mu Xiaohua and Yu Tong turned a corner slowly, Ah Mei ran back, panting and said, "Sister, it was Sister Ah Qiao who was escorted to the altar." ”
"Ah Qiao was put on the altar?" Mu Xiaohua glanced at Yu Tong in surprise, and sped up her pace to rush to the tribe.
After turning another corner, the altar square appeared in front of me, only to see Ah Qiao being tied with her backhand and kneeling on the altar with her head down, the whole person exuded a thick sadness and despair, Lao Mu stood quietly next to her, exuding majesty, and the people in the audience were angrily crusading.
When Mu Xiaohua appeared, Lao Mu slowly turned his head to look at her, and the people in the audience also noticed Mu Xiaohua's arrival, and the crusade gradually stopped.
"What's going on?" Although Mu Xiaohua had already guessed what was going on, she still asked this question and walked to the edge of the square under the gaze of everyone.
Lao Mu glanced at Yu Tong and then looked at Mu Xiaohua and said with great dignity: "Ah Qiao fornicated with the young man of the Jiangshan tribe, corrupted the tribal atmosphere, violated the strict rules of the tribe, and his behavior should be punished with whipping, Xiaohua girl, what do you think?" ”
Mu Xiaohua walked towards the altar, and the people gathered in the square automatically retreated to make way for a way, and walked to the bottom of the altar Mu Xiaohua said: "Actually, I think there is nothing wrong with Ah Qiao and Gerry being unmarried and unmarried, and they like each other and want to be together." ”
Mu Xiaohua's words caused an uproar among the people, and Ah Qiao, who was motionless with her head hanging down on the altar, slowly raised her eyes to look at Mu Xiaohua, her red and swollen eyes were full of tears, and her face was also red and swollen, with heavy tear stains, and it seemed that she had been slapped a lot and cried very much.
Ah Qiao's family stood on the edge of the altar, their faces full of sadness, resentment and shame, and they listened to Mu Xiaohua's words and looked at her in a daze.
Lao Mu didn't say anything, just looked at Mu Xiaohua quietly.
Mu Xiaohua continued: "I know that the rule of our tribe is not to intermarry with other tribes, but for the development of the tribe, it is necessary to intermarry with the outside tribes. The reason why there are fewer and fewer people in our tribe is because the people of our tribe only have biological children with the people of their own tribe, and the blood in their bodies has undergone bad changes, so they are more and more unable to have children. ”
Hearing Mu Xiaohua's words, people began to talk about it.
"But isn't it to ensure the purity of the bloodline and ensure that the reproduction of the tribe is not corrupted by the outside?" Some people questioned it.
Mu Xiaohua shook her head: "The theory of pure blood can only be applied to animals, and people are absolutely impossible." The closer a person's bloodline is, the more likely it is to have a child with lesions. After a pause, Mu Xiaohua added: "And a woman gives birth to several men, and too much production pressure is not good for the body, so for the better development of the tribe, the rule of not intermarrying with outsiders must be abolished." ”
People were in an uproar again, Yu stood in the crowd and looked at Mu Xiaohua quietly, glanced at Yu Tong, who was standing on the edge of the square staring at Mu Xiaohua, and tightened his eyebrows.
"Alright, it's all quiet." After a while, Lao Mu spoke majestically, and everyone gradually quieted down.
Lao Mu stared at Mu Xiaohua and tightened his eyebrows, and asked, "Do you have to intermarry with the outside?" ”
Mu Xiaohua looked back at her and nodded firmly: "Well, it must be." ”
Last time, because of Ah Qiao's matter, Lao Mu listened to Mu Xiaohua's words, and went to other tribes to understand the situation, and came to the conclusion that as Mu Xiaohua said, in fact, she had already thought about abolishing the rule of not marrying with other tribes, but unfortunately there was a lack of an opportunity.
Although Lao Mu made a decision in his heart, he looked at the skeptical and worried expressions of everyone in the audience, as well as a few opposing voices, and thought for a long time before saying: "Let God give us an answer to this matter!" ”
The discussion in the audience disappeared completely, Lao Mu turned to face the altar and began to pray, people have been waiting devoutly, after praying Lao Mu took out the turtle shell to make a hexagram, everyone stared nervously at the altar, the turtle shell rotated, slowly fixed, the hexagram showed good luck, not intermarriage with the outside should be abolished.
Lao Mu unhurriedly picked up the turtle shell and turned to face the crowd: "Heaven's will has clarified that the regulations that do not conform to the development of the tribe should be abolished, and from now on, our Chashan tribe can intermarry with other tribes." ”
"Thank you for your guidance!" The people prayed devoutly, and since it was approved by the heavens, everyone accepted it whether they wanted it or not.
There are few people in the Chashan tribe, basically as long as it is Lao Mu's decision, others will not oppose it even if they have objections in their hearts, after all, Lao Mu has the final say, and it is useless to oppose it after Lao Mu makes a decision, so he can only accept it.
As soon as this decision came out, the happiest thing was that Ah Qiao and her family were allowed, since they were allowed to intermarry with outsiders, then Ah Qiao could be exempted from flogging, but her behavior ignored the tribal rules before the regulations were changed, and the flogging could be exempted from punishment but could not be less.
As soon as Lao Mu said this, the atmosphere instantly became tense again. (To be continued.) )
