252 Departure
Now Han Jian pointed out the big problem of their village with one sentence, and the patriarch was overjoyed, so he asked urgently: "Do you know what the reason is?" "Well, this time I will become a distinguished guest, Molly secretly slandered, this patriarch is also a personal elf.
Han Jian nodded, "That's because you didn't intermarry with foreign people, your blood relationship is too close, speaking of which, hundreds of people in this village may be relatives, and they may even be people with the same surname, the survival rate of children born from such a combination of men and women will not be very high, even if they survive, their bodies will not be too good, and have you noticed that children born with foreign men are much healthier." ”
The patriarch and Acha kept nodding their heads, agreeing with Han Jian's words, only Maugham felt inexplicable on the side, what was going on? What did the patriarch and Acha say? What extinction? Aren't all the people in good health?
Han Jian continued: "This shows that your clan is no longer suitable for continued intermarriage, you should go out, go outside to live, and marry people outside to make your offspring healthy, if the patriarch needs my help, I can help you get out!" ”
The patriarch and the acha suddenly bowed to the ground with their palms facing the sky, tears welling up in their eyes, and their mouths kept speaking in an incomprehensible language, and the other people also bowed down in fear when they saw the patriarch and the witch doctor like this, and spoke the same language. After a few minutes, the patriarch took the lead in standing up, bending down to salute Han Jian and Molly, looking very respectful.
Molly and Han Jian hurriedly stood up and helped the patriarch up, they couldn't accept this gift, the patriarch insisted on giving them a salute. Molly and Han Jian had no choice but to return the salute to the patriarch, and after everyone sat down again, the patriarch said excitedly: "A few distinguished guests are the angels who came to save our Jiang clan!" Great-grandmother was right, there will be angels to take us out. ”
Maugham and Molly they both heard in the clouds, what angel? What great-grandmother? Maugham couldn't help but ask, "Patriarch, when did the old patriarch come back?" ”
It turned out that the great-grandmother of the patriarch was the old patriarch of the Jiang clan, and the patriarch took over the position of patriarch directly from her great-grandmother, and her great-grandmother was very authoritative in the village, was a wise man in the clan, and knew a lot of things. She is also the longest-lived wise man of the Jiang clan. In total, they lived to be ninety-six years old, like the old people in their village, most of them died at the age of sixty or seventy, and very few lived to be eighty years old, let alone more than ninety years old.
"My great-grandmother appeared more than a dozen times in my dreams. She said to me let's go out. She also said that there would be angels to lead us away. The patriarch explained to Maugham.
Maugham was convinced of the patriarch's words. It's just that she obviously disapproves of leaving the village, "Patriarch, we live well here." Why leave? People outside are devils and eat people! ”
Molly listened funny, this Maugham looked very fierce in front of him, and now it seems that he is just a brainless barbarian, just now Han Jian and the patriarch talked about the survival crisis of the Jiang clan for so long, this Elder Mao was stunned and didn't understand, his brain really didn't get home!
The patriarch was also a little helpless, she simply said directly: "Maugham, we have to go out, only when we go out can the Jiang clan have hope, and the five children in front of you will not die when we go out." ”
Maugham thought of the five children who died in front of her, and her face couldn't help but be gloomy, how could she still have the fierce look before, as if she was ten years old, Molly didn't expect that this Maugham was also a hard-working person, and he lost five biological children in a row, so any woman couldn't stand it, right?
The patriarch sighed and said, "Maugham, we can only let the people live a good life if we go out, and not all the people outside are bad people, you see that these distinguished guests are very good people." ”
Maugham's family has a lot of power in the village, as long as Maugham agrees to leave, then the relocation of the village will not be too difficult, the young people are okay, the key is that those old people have lived in the village all their lives, let them leave here to live in a strange place, I'm afraid it is difficult for them to agree, thinking of convincing those older clansmen one by one, the patriarch can't help but be stunned,
However, even if it was difficult to leave here, the patriarch made up her mind, and she asked, "Where will your guests take us?" And how will we be placed? ”
Han Jian thought for a while and said, "I can contact the local government for you, the government will arrange housing for you, and other benefits will follow, such as medical treatment, study, work, etc., and I will also provide you with some help, which will definitely make your life a hundred times better than here." ”
The relocation of such a large village must be notified to the government, this Jiang tribe has its own language, culture and beliefs, and the country will be very interested in it, and he will not ignore them, Han Jian believes that these Jiang people will soon be blinded by the outside world.
The patriarch believed in Han Jian and Molly very much, mainly because the timing of their arrival was too coincidental, so that the patriarch did not doubt their angel identity at all, but the patriarch himself was also weak about going to the outside world to live, what was it like outside? Will the people be able to live? Molly saw them and understood their fear of the outside world, just as a person who spent a lot of time in the dark had a deep rejection of sunlight.
Molly took out her mobile phone, there is no mobile phone signal here, but there are a lot of photos taken in her mobile phone, she turned out the photos in the mobile phone to show the patriarch and them, and introduced them to the cars, airplanes, Ferris wheels, ships, etc. in the mobile phone one by one, the patriarch They have never seen these high-tech things, they are all dazzled, Molly also told them that people outside can now fly in the sky, live under the water, and fly to the moon,
The patriarch and the others have never heard of it, they don't even have electricity here, how would they know that there have been earth-shaking changes outside, and how can there be so many people in this boxy little thing? How did these villains get in? All this is like Pandora's box, opening up a new world for the people of the Jiang clan.
Molly was playful, took a few photos of the patriarch and Maugham, and turned the photos to them, which frightened the patriarch and Maugham to the point that their faces turned pale, their bodies trembled, and they kept worshipping to the sky, and they kept saying something, Nonna said to her, the patriarch and the elders were begging the gods to return their souls, and just now you took pictures of them with your mobile phone, and the patriarch and the elders thought that you had taken their souls away.
Nonna was not surprised by the mobile phone, at first she saw Lana take a picture of herself, and she was scared to death, Lana explained to her that it took a long time to accept the photo, and then she also fell in love with selfies, but the electricity quickly ran out, and they couldn't charge it in the village, for which she regretted for a long time.
Suddenly, Nonna had a strong desire in her heart, she wanted to go out, she didn't want to stay in this mountain for the rest of her life, she wanted to go out to see the outside world, to see what the TV and movies that Daddy said looked like, and to do the plane that Lana said, it must be fun for people to fly in the sky.
Acha accepted these new things to a stronger degree than the patriarch and Maugham, after all, her man broke in from the outside and told her a lot of outside things, to be honest, she herself really wanted to go outside to have a look, but the clan rules have been ingrained in the hearts of the clansmen, and it is difficult to change them for a while.
Molly smiled and flipped out many of her own photos, handed them to the patriarch to see, only to dispel the fear of the patriarch and Maugham, and looked at her own photos with surprise, this thing called a mobile phone is really interesting, it draws people like the real thing, even the wrinkles on her forehead can be seen clearly, alas, how can she get so old all of a sudden! How beautiful it used to be, the patriarch was sad!
Then Molly took out the camera from her bag, took a video for them, and showed it to them, the patriarch was amazed, Molly took the opportunity to say: "There are still a lot of fun things outside, some of which I haven't even played, outside, children can receive education, and when they grow up, they can work and earn money, so they can buy food, use, wear, and play things, the most important thing is that your people don't have to work so hard, life will be guaranteed, and it will be more stable!"
